USWHC -Chapter 12 An Oddball Family (Part 2)

When Ji Mei saw this, she immediately burst into schadenfreude-filled laughter.

Sister-in-law You was furious inside. Why was she the only one getting beaten?

Grinding her teeth, she struggled to her feet and was just about to flare up when Old Madam Ji beat her to it: “Erhan! What the hell are you standing there for? Don’t you know to help?” As she spoke, she raised the broom and charged straight at Ji Yi!

Ji Yi, who had been standing far away watching the commotion, never expected that this war between women would somehow end up dragging him into it.

Old Madam Ji lunged forward. Before she even reached him, the broom—mixed with snow and mud—came flying at his face. With one smack, a very special “flower” instantly bloomed across his face.

“Hahaha! Second Brother turned into a tabby cat!” Ji Mei laughed so hard she bent over.

Ji Yi touched his burning red face, anger surging in his chest. He glared fiercely at Ji Mei—but unfortunately, it was only a glare.

“What are you glaring at? Want to die?” Old Madam Ji was even more overbearing than him. “Hurry up and help!”

“I love taking baths, turtles falling down, yo yo yo yo, watch out for fleas—so many bubbles, yo yo yo yo, the submarine is praying…” Zhu Jie sang while bathing, splashing water with her hands and happily soaking in the hot water.

“Hehe, little Erhan, don’t blame me for being unloyal! Even though you helped me before, who told you to have such a bunch of relatives? I can’t save you either! You should just obediently stay with them and go purify those filthy souls together!” Zhu Jie smugly said to her reflection in the water.

But at that moment—

Bang!

The door was suddenly kicked open without warning. A whole crowd rushed in.

“Zhu Jie, you’ve got some nerve! How dare you trick us!” Old Madam Ji shouted furiously—but before she could finish, a scream burst out.

“Ah! Pervert!” Zhu Jie stared in disbelief at Old Madam Ji and the others who had stormed in. How did they come back so quickly?

Before she could finish shouting, Ji Yi followed in as well. When Zhu Jie saw him, she went even more hysterical. “Ahhh—!”

Ji Yi had just stepped through the door when a ladleful of water was dumped right over his head, soaking him from top to bottom. Before he could figure out what was happening, another shriek rang out—

“Ah! Y-you’re a woman!”

Ji Mei’s scream shocked everyone. All eyes instantly turned in that direction—including Ji Yi’s. But before he could even focus his gaze—

Bang!

With a loud crash, the water ladle came flying straight at his head, hitting him so hard he staggered backward and stumbled out the door.

Oh, his head… a huge bump instantly swelled up on it!

Ji Yi clutched his head, on the verge of tears.

Zhu Jie, meanwhile, could only keep screaming in shock.

Something’s wrong! How did these people come back so quickly? Weren’t they supposed to be outside “building the nation and the Earth”?

She quickly sank her entire body into the tub, not even daring to raise her head.

Had they already seen something?

She clearly saw Ji Yi come in just now! Oh my God! Her innocence was really in danger this time!

“What’s going on inside? What’s going on in there?” As soon as the eldest brother heard the screams, he immediately perked up and tried to push his way inside.

Fortunately, Ji Yi blocked him in time. His face flushed red with embarrassment as he said awkwardly, “Brother… Father… let’s just wait outside for a while.”

“I heard Little Sister shouting that there’s a woman inside? Who’s the woman?” When the eldest brother asked this, he had already guessed most of it. With a sly grin, he craned his neck, clearly hoping to sneak a peek. “You saw it, didn’t you? What did you see, kid?”

Ji Yi’s face instantly turned even redder. Stammering, he said, “N-nothing… I didn’t see anything!”

The eldest brother immediately rolled his eyes at him in disbelief. Sure, keep pretending. Something that good and you didn’t look?

Under his gaze, Ji Yi immediately lowered his head shyly…

While the men were chatting noisily outside, the room inside had already exploded.

Ji Mei simply couldn’t believe it. The man she had set her heart on—the young master from a wealthy family, her ticket to getting rich—had only soaked in some water for a while and suddenly turned into a woman?

The truth was too terrifying. She couldn’t accept it for a moment and stood there completely stunned.
