Why did you provoke me?

The next morning, Jiang Mingfeng and Dali left.

Aunt Yu looked at Yu Meng with concern, "Are you sure you'll be alright at home by yourself?"

Yu Meng was a little listless; all she wanted to do was lie down. Her mother also had to go out to work; she had to tend to the vegetables in the field and was busy all day long.

Yu Meng waved her hand. Yu's father and Yu Hai walked over, "I'll ask your brother to buy you some nutritional supplements when he comes back tonight; you're too weak."

Yu Hai hurriedly agreed, "I'll run back tonight, so you can get better sooner."

The whole family left. The big black cat jumped onto the kang (a heated brick bed). Yu Meng watched the cat bell ringing there, and a thought struck her. She instantly dismantled it and stored it in her mind.

The result was better than I expected. My head was no longer spinning, and I felt more energetic.

Although I don't know the underlying principle, I believe that these lines should be present in my mind; otherwise, my body's ability to withstand stress would decrease significantly.

Yu Meng's desire to find another line drawing book grew even stronger. But she was stumped about how to find one.

If word got out, she might be seen as a monster again. So this had to be done in secret. Sigh, Yu Meng sat on the kang (heated brick bed), deep in thought.

After arriving in town, Dali and Jiang Mingfeng went straight to the mining group. When they arrived at the compound, there were already many people there, and everyone looked very happy.

After all, with big money coming in, their income will increase significantly.

"Mingfeng, Dali, come inside." Jiang Mingfeng's older brother, Jiang Mingcheng, called out when he saw them coming through the window.

The two entered the room, where the man with the cold voice was sitting at the table looking at account books. His name was Li Yiqing, also from the provincial capital, and a relative from their mother's side. He and Li Yifeng were cousins.

"This time, if this whole, large piece of dough is sent to the provincial capital, it will probably be worth a lot of money." Li Yiqing pointed to the account book on the table.

This mining group was formed when he came to town at the age of eighteen, and it's been three years now. But they haven't gotten many good things. The last time they caught something good was when Dali didn't come home for over a month. But that time, the losses were also heavy.

"Yi Qing, you're the one who founded this mining group. You can make any decisions, and we won't object," Jiang Mingcheng said.

When Dali first came into the family, it was out of respect for Jiang Mingfeng. Little did they know, there's someone even more powerful behind Dali now. From what they've said, there's another very capable woman in her family named Sister Xiu.

Li Yiqing had a plan: to get Dali to bring her two younger sisters into her mining group.

After thinking for a while, Li Yiqing finally spoke up, "Dali, we're practically family, so I won't stand on ceremony. I'd like your little sister and that sister named Xiu to both join my Cai Group. What do you think?"

Dali frowned. She remembered something Xiao Si had said: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

At that moment, Sister Xiu, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement. She was a little confused, so she asked Sister Xiu what it meant.

Sister Xiu said at the time, "It's best if the three of us sisters don't stay together."

Dali shook her head. "Sister Xiu has already signed a contract with the city defense mining group. Xiao Si'er is delicate and can't handle this kind of hardship at all. When we left, she was still lying on the kang (heated brick bed) and hadn't gotten up yet. I guess she won't be able to get up for the rest of the day. Even if I go to ask her, she won't come."

Li Yiqing frowned. "If your little sister comes here, I'll offer her a very high price."

Jiang Mingfeng hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back. Jiang Mingcheng saw this, kicked him, and said, "Just say what you have to say."

Jiang Mingfeng glanced at his older brother, then looked at Li Yifeng. "Actually, Xiao Si'er doesn't lack money at all."

Li Yiqing became interested. "How do you know she's not short of money?"

Dali looked at Jiang Mingfeng. Jiang Mingfeng immediately sensed Dali's displeasure. So he changed the subject. "Her brothers and sisters give her money every time they go back."

Li Yiqing laughed, "When I gave her her payment yesterday, she put the gold coins into her pocket one by one, which shows that she liked them too."

Jiang Mingfeng scratched his head. "Anyway, she's never short of money."

Dali lowered her eyelids, no longer looking at Jiang Mingfeng. She thought to herself, "They are the real family. If I weren't here, he might have revealed his younger sister's secret."

Although it's not exactly a secret now, it's very lucrative.

Dali found a chair and sat down, no longer participating in the conversation between the three brothers.

Jiang Mingfeng stood there, staring at Dali. He felt he shouldn't have said anything earlier; he might have upset his wife again.

By noon, the accounts were finally settled. Li Yiqing distributed the money to everyone, and Dali noticed that their voices were much louder; perhaps this was the confidence that came with having money.

Dali carefully pocketed her share of the money and walked outside. She was going to see if there was anything nutritious for her younger sister.

This whole mess is her own fault; she shouldn't have taken her keepsake home. There are many capable people on this team, and she really caused trouble this time. The key issue is that she might have gotten her younger sister into trouble.

Dali walked out with her head down, not noticing Jiang Mingfeng.

Jiang Mingfeng sighed inwardly and hurriedly chased after her. "Dali, wait for me, let's go together."

"Aren't you going home with your older brother? I'm going to the purchasing point to see if they have any nutritional supplements for my younger sister," Dali said as she walked.

"I'll go with you. If you find any, buy more for my little sister." Jiang Mingfeng hurriedly followed Dali's footsteps.

"That's my little sister, I'll protect her, you don't need to buy her anything." Dali's tone wasn't very friendly.

"I didn't say anything, did I? Why are you angry again?" Jiang Mingfeng was also helpless. He had no idea why Dali was angry again this time.

"I didn't say anything, and I'm not angry with you. I'm just worried about my little sister and I'm in a hurry to get home." Dali's pace quickened considerably.

Jiang Mingfeng said nothing more, but followed Dali to the purchasing point.

There wasn't much here. Jiang Mingfeng noticed some dried meat and thought he'd buy some for Yu Meng.

Dali, however, went straight for the premium essence. "Um, how much is a box of essence?"

The seller looked at Dali. "One gold coin, would you like to buy it?"

Dali nodded, "Yes, give me two boxes."

Hearing the sound, Jiang Mingfeng looked at Dali in surprise. She really was willing to spend money on her younger sister.

Jiang Mingfeng stuffed the dried meat he had bought into Dali's arms. "Let's go, I'll take you home."

Dali only earned two gold coins from this harvest, and she spent them all on her little sister.

Jiang Mingfeng realized that Xiao Si was Da Li's Achilles' heel and should not be touched lightly. He decided to say as little as possible about his younger sister in the future.
