After returning home, the days passed particularly quickly. Even though nothing much was done, time flew by. Yezhi used to envy those with large families for their liveliness. Now that she was part of it, sending out goods and smuggling a few pieces of Cured Meat felt like being a thief. She regretted it and thought about the benefits of having fewer people around.
After finally replenishing the goods owed to Earth's Rarity, new orders came in again. The cycle of busyness continued, and her sneaky actions were hard to hide. Fortunately, Xiao Fang was alert; otherwise, they would have been caught.
After a false alarm, Yezhi realized this wasn't a sustainable way to continue. She discussed with Xiao Fang and boldly sent the remaining New Year Pictures, Spring Couplets, 100 bean buns, and 3 pieces of Cured Meat via express delivery to Xingli so she could sell them slowly before the Cabrera Spring Festival.
"Master, we have Bidefo's address!" Xiao Fang reported.
Yezhi placed the last set of New Year gifts into the Express Box and clapped her hands, saying, "Finally done!" Xiao Fang signaled, and in the blink of an eye, the Express Box vanished. They logged in with their consciousness.
"Xiao Fang, come here~ this is your red envelope!" Dulisa, Tiansuo, Xiao Nan, Hong Dou, Bai Duoya, Xingli, Bidefo, and Yezhi all prepared New Year Pictures, Spring Couplets, Cured Meat, and bean buns as gifts for her. How could they let the hardworking Xiao Fang feel wronged?
Xiao Fang blinked in disbelief and then danced with joy. "Haha~ I have it too! A million cash vouchers! Master, I can really spend it freely."
Yezhi nodded. "Of course! I don't know what the Spring Festival is like on Cabrala Star, but Earthlings love to spend money for fun. Spend as you like; as long as you're happy." With New Year Pictures and Cured Meat selling well, Yezhi became generous.
"Xiao Fang has the best master in the universe~!" Yezhi boasted. She loved hearing this from Xiao Fang. "Master, can I make a wish?" With such an unbeatable master in the universe, how could she refuse? "Go ahead!"
Xiao Fang hesitated and said, "Master, for the Spring Festival... can I... get a new outfit?" Yezhi glanced at Xiao Fang still wearing overalls and wondered if it was just her imagination or if they looked increasingly worn out; even the hem had come undone. Those scammers at Good Institute! It's ridiculous that virtual products have distinctions between new and old!
"Go ahead and change!" Hearing this, Xiao Fang happily pulled out a laser hanger and began trying on outfits one by one.
"Master, doesn't this one have a festive feel for the Spring Festival?" After glancing at Xiao Fang dressed in a red envelope bag, Yezhi first brushed off the petals stuck in her hair and then agreed, "Hmm... very festive!" Wearing her bright new clothes made Xiao Fang feel great as she swayed her hips left and right while strutting towards her master. Yezhi couldn't help but twitch her mouth in an effort not to laugh!
...
Zhou Village Head looked worried. "Yezhi, six jars of Rice Bran Oil weighing about 40 pounds—can you carry them all? Or should we let the Cart Driver take you into town?"
"Village Uncle, it's fine; I can manage!" To reassure Village Uncle, Yezhi shouldered six jars of oil strung together and headed home.
As soon as Yezhi stepped through the door, she said to the concerned Zhou Village Head following her, "Not even a hint of breathlessness, are you reassured now?" Zhou Village Head gave a thumbs up in praise. In reality, she had lived in Zhoujiatun for over half a year and couldn't compare to the strong women in the village who could carry a hundred pounds, but she had certainly gained some strength.
"Sister Yezi, Sister Ye...!" A group of kids bounced out of the house.
Yezhi feigned surprise and said, "Oh~ why is everyone here? It's so lively!"
One Egg clenched his fist and said angrily, "Sister Ye, I'm here for revenge!"
"Ouch! Uncle, why are you hitting me?" One Egg cried out in pain.
Zhou Village Head smacked One Egg with her weapon—a big pipe—saying, "How can you speak to your Sister Ye like that!" With the Village Uncle backing her up, Yezhi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
Niu Niu saw her owner and immediately abandoned her little brother Black Treasure, rushing into Yezhi's arms. Yezhi loved to rub Niu Niu's silky curls. Niu Niu's round eyes squinted into a line, thoroughly enjoying her owner's affection.
The kids saw that Yezhi was only playing with Niu Niu and ignored them, shouting in unison, "Sister Ye, I must win!"
"Yes, me too!"...
These little kids felt quite frustrated. Yezhi had simply introduced them to a new card game called "Fight the Landlord," which completely ignited their enthusiasm for class struggle. The future flowers of love for their country and party did not want to stand against the people; their innate hatred for "landlords" was strong. If no one played the "landlord," how could they play? Yezhi unceremoniously took on the role of landlord and collectively oppressed the flowers of justice.
"Dad, we are here to fight against Sister Ye, this big landlord!" Er Zhu explained anxiously.
Wolf Child was also quite interested in the colorful playing cards. She loved to find matching cards with Xiao Fan and Zhou Xiaomu and enjoyed it immensely. Although she didn't understand "Fight the Landlord," it didn't stop her from having fun; after all, children just wanted to join in on the excitement.
"What is this? Landlord?" Zhou Village Head became increasingly confused. A few kids gestured around, and seeing that Village Uncle was still puzzled, they pulled him inside to demonstrate with their precious playing cards while explaining the game.
Yezhi entered with a large bowl of Frozen Pears, leading Black Treasure who was munching away messily. At that moment, Niu Niu was lying on Wolf Child's head, her big eyes fixed on the cards.
"Come eat some pears!" Yezhi handed a Frozen Pear to Er Niu. Zhou Xiaomu and Xiao Fan shared a Frozen Pear between them, taking turns to enjoy it...
In the room, the kids leaned in with their heads poking out from three layers inside and three layers outside, their eyes fixed on the small kang table. One Egg exclaimed, "Bomb! Haha, I finally defeated the landlord!" The tone was somewhat bittersweet.
Zhou Village Head, holding a hand of unplayed cards, shouted, "My family has been poor farmers for generations; no one has more experience than me in fighting landlords. I can't be the landlord this time!"
The title of "landlord" felt like a hot potato that no one wanted to take. "Uncle, you lost; you can't change!" One Egg declared firmly.
Zhou Village Head tried to assert his authority by mentioning seniority, but the clever Dogzi turned to the outer circle and said with a grin, "Sister Ye looks like a landlord; let's elect Sister Ye as the landlord." Dogzi's little trick made Yezhi find it amusing. She happily accepted the role of landlord and called Xiao Fang to come out and keep track of the cards, showing no awareness of any unfair advantage.
"What's this? Leaf won again! I refuse to believe that the proletariat can't defeat the bourgeois landlord!" Zhou Village Head exclaimed anxiously, while the kids shouted in frustration.
At that moment, Elder Brother Yu, Sister Luo, and Aunt Zhou returned from Barefoot Aunt's place. Without asking, it was clear that the kids had lost again. After taking Bidefo's newly released painkiller, Elder Brother Yu's appetite had increased, and his spirit improved day by day—truly embodying the saying "Man is iron; rice is steel." Sister Luo felt unsure how to repay Yezhi's family and kept rushing to help. Yezhi and Aunt Zhou were almost becoming idle as they had nothing to do.
When the kids saw Yu Jianhua return, their eyes lit up as they surrounded Elder Brother Yu like stars around the moon. "Uncle Yu, savior of the people! Quickly help us defeat Sister Ye!" One Egg shouted enthusiastically. Indeed, with Yu Jianhua's participation, the situation quickly turned around. Yezhi, the landlord lady, was finally defeated, and the kids cheered and clapped in delight.
"Let's go again! Let's go again!" urged Village Uncle as they eagerly prepared for another round.
They played until dark before Village Uncle and the kids reluctantly left.
The night sky over Zhoujiatun echoed with the kids' synchronized chants: "Down with Sister Ye! Down with the unscrupulous landlord lady! Down with Sister Ye...!"
Just as they finished tidying up the card table, Sister Luo and Aunt Zhou began serving dishes. Seizing the moment while everyone was eating, Yezhi announced her plans to go into town tomorrow to promote Rice Bran Oil.
