Bab 108: Caring Stepmother

The Heavenly Door competition ended not long ago – just in time for the first snow of Nine Jade Mountain.

Snow this year was the heaviest among these last few years. It was so heavy that the route up the hill was blocked.

Grinning from ear to ear, Ah Sheng happily went out to remove snow from the main door. Suddenly, he saw a huge group walking toward him from afar.

He scanned his surroundings before scrambling back into the house.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Hui Niang, who's cleaning up the house, asked.

"There's a lot of people outside," Ah Sheng replied.

"A lot of people?"

Just as Ah Sheng was about to answer, knocking could be heard from the courtyard door.

"Hello, does Courtyard Leader Liu live here?"

Both of them turned toward the door. A lady about thirty years old was standing there with a thin smile on her face. She was dressed fancifully and she looked neat, but her actions were relatively reserved.
