章節 63: Chapter 63 The Arrival of the Pedantic Great Uncle

One night passed with each harboring their own thoughts and calculations. Early next morning, before heading to the office, Zhou Xuennian made a detour to Wufu's home.

Wufu was just about to take Ah Jiu to the cave in the mountain when she had barely helped Ah Jiu up when Madam Zhou rushed in, flustered, saying, "Wufu, quick, hide him, your uncle is here."

Wufu was stunned, and before she could react, Madam Zhou had already pushed Ah Jiu onto the firewood pile and then grabbed a bundle of dry straw intending to cover him with it.

Ah Jiu was in a daze, and Wufu couldn't help but laugh as she busily stopped her mother, saying, "Mother, there's no need to go to such lengths."

"Wufu, that's your uncle, if he finds this person, then we'll have no way to live!" Madam Zhou, however, had a grave look on her face. She glanced at Ah Jiu, her eyes full of wariness and the expression of facing a problem.
