Yi Zhonghai's face was frighteningly pale. His lips moved a few times, but he ultimately didn't say another word.

The news of what happened today has spread to every corner of the courtyard. At this time, we must not take any retaliatory action against Chen Wenqi. Otherwise, if Chen Wenqi is injured and disabled tomorrow, the first person suspected by everyone in the courtyard will definitely be Yi Zhonghai.

He secretly plotted in his heart: let this little rascal be smug for a few more days, there will be plenty of opportunities to teach him a lesson later. As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, there is no need to rush.

As soon as Jia Zhangshi entered the house, she began to curse incessantly, and even now she is still repeatedly muttering Chen Wenqi's name, her words filled with resentment and malice. Jia Dongxu also harbors a strong hatred for Chen Wenqi.

He was also racking his brains, trying to figure out how to get revenge on Chen Wenqi in order to completely get rid of the resentment in his heart.

After much thought, he still felt that the old method he and Sha Zhu used to deal with Xu Damao was the most direct and satisfying—find a secluded and deserted opportunity, put a sack over Chen Wenqi's head, and beat him up severely, preferably breaking one of his legs, otherwise the anger stuck in his chest would be hard to swallow.

He firmly believed that Sha Zhu would also be willing to join forces with him to take revenge on Chen Wenqi.

Chen Wenqi had no idea that these beastly fellows were secretly plotting revenge against him. Of course, he also knew that given their despicable nature, they would not give up easily and would definitely try to find an opportunity to retaliate.

However, as a transmigrator with a mysterious system, he is destined to embark on the path of cultivation and seeking immortality. In his eyes, these so-called beasts are no different from ants crawling on the roadside and are not worth paying attention to at all.

That very evening, Chen Wenqi entered the Xuanwu Secret Realm and meticulously copied the three precious medical books and their detailed annotations into a new notebook—materials he had specially prepared for his mother's studies.

With these three books as a foundation, my mother's medical skills will surely improve even further.

The next morning, before Chen Wenqi was fully awake, he felt a slight itch on his cheek, a gentle touch that felt exceptionally comfortable.

He slowly opened his sleepy eyes and found that his younger sister, Chen Wensi, was gently brushing his face with her soft, smooth braids, having a great time, her face beaming with an innocent and carefree smile.

"You little rascal, Sisi, how dare you secretly tease your brother!" Chen Wenqi couldn't help but laugh out loud, reaching out to pull the little girl into his arms and starting to tickle her armpits.

The little girl couldn't stand being tickled anymore. She twisted her tiny body and struggled while giggling and begging for mercy: "Brother, stop tickling me! It's so itchy! Sisi is about to laugh herself crazy!"

Chen Wenqi stopped when he saw the little girl begging for mercy, and gently pinched her chubby, pink cheeks, smiling, "Why are you up so early today? Shouldn't you sleep a little longer to get some rest?"

"Sisi wants to learn martial arts from her brother. Once she learns, she can fight bad guys like him and protect him and Mommy." The little girl raised her fist high and said solemnly with a serious expression on her face.

Looking at his younger sister's charming and adorable appearance, Chen Wenqi felt all his worries vanish in that instant.

He quickly got up, put on his coat, bent down, picked up his sister, and said with a gentle smile on his face.

"Okay, let's brush our teeth, wash our faces and get clean first. After breakfast, your brother will teach you kung fu and make sure you become a little heroine."

As soon as the brother and sister stepped out of the house, they saw Chen Wenzi running towards them with light steps, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Brother, you're awake?" Chen Wenzi couldn't hide her excitement, and her tone was also quite cheerful.

"It's barely dawn, why are you all up so early?" Chen Wenqi glanced up at the old-fashioned clock on the wall; the hands had just pointed to 5:30.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw his mother come out of the inner room wearing an overcoat, seemingly going into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

"Mom, why don't you go back to your room and rest a bit more? I'll make breakfast today, so you can rest easy," Chen Wenqi quickly advised, his tone full of concern.

"You silly child, how can I sleep when I'm already up? Why are you up so early today?" the mother asked with a smile, her eyes filled with boundless love.

"It's all because of those two little ones, Xiao Zi and Xiao Mei, who got up early this morning insisting on exercising with me." Chen Wenqi said as he walked towards the kitchen. "Mom, don't bother, leave it to me. I'll make sure you have a hot and delicious breakfast."

"Well... alright." Looking at Chen Wenqi's sensible and considerate appearance, the mother felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Moreover, she herself found it strange that her body felt lighter and more energetic each day, and her spirits were incredibly high, as if she had returned to her youth, with inexhaustible energy and no fatigue no matter what she did.

Watching her eldest son busily working in the kitchen, with her second son following closely behind to help out, and her youngest daughter tiptoing curiously to join in but being gently pushed back into her chair by her brother with a smile—Zhou Shuqin looked at the warm and harmonious scene before her and felt that all the hard work and toil of the past had become incredibly worthwhile at this moment.

Chen Wenqi quickly cooked a pot of fragrant and rich cornmeal porridge, steamed a basket of soft and delicious mixed flour buns, and specially boiled four round and tender white eggs.

These eggs all came from the old hen in the secret realm, and their quality is far better than what you can buy outside.

The hen had already laid dozens of eggs and was now squatting in the warm nest, intently incubating the chicks. Chen Wenqi deliberately picked out the unfertilized eggs—his mother and younger siblings were at a crucial stage of growth and needed to be properly nourished.

"Xiaoqi, where did these eggs come from? I didn't see you buy any yesterday," the mother asked, looking at the eggs on the table with a hint of doubt.

"I went fishing by the river yesterday, and I used the money I earned from selling the fish to buy this egg. I put it in the kitchen as soon as I got back, so you didn't notice it," Chen Wenqi explained with a smile, his tone natural and sincere. "From now on, we'll each have an egg every morning to supplement our nutrition."

"Mom won't eat anymore. You three siblings can share it. Mom is too old to need these supplements." The mother quickly waved her hand, always wanting to save the best food for her children.

"That won't do. You're the one who works the hardest in the family, Mom. You have to go to the hospital to work every day and take care of us. You need to take good care of your health." Chen Wenqi's tone was firm and left no room for negotiation.

"Mom, please eat. Don't be shy. We can only be at ease if you're healthy," Chen Wenzi chimed in, her eyes full of sincerity.

"If Mommy doesn't eat, then Sisi won't eat either. Sisi wants to eat with Mommy." The little girl pouted her pink lips and looked sullen as she gently pushed the small bowl in front of her aside, her attitude very firm.

"Alright, alright, Mom will eat, Mom will eat. You little rascals, eat your food too, and stop making a fuss." Zhou Shuqin's eyes were slightly red, and a warm current flowed through her heart, making her nose tingle and her heart feel sweet.
