After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies

Chapter 256: Gremlins



Chapter 256

Back in the room, ZhiXia didn’t ask about the details of dividing up the family assets. No matter how much was divided, it wasn’t important to her.

She handed the package she had prepared to Pei Jing, “These are all for Fourth Brother. The medicinal potions are also inside, but I didn’t dare write about their effects in the letter. You should call him and let him know.”

Because letters could potentially be intercepted and inspected, there was absolutely no privacy.

Of course, phones could also potentially be wiretapped, but generally there wouldn’t be such occurrences with family phones, unless during special times.

Pei Jing took the package and put it to the side, smiling as he said: “I’ll write to him. No one else will be able to tell what it is.”

An ZhiAng was only rash in his actions, but he wasn’t stupid. On the contrary, he was very shrewd.

ZhiXia had been giving him things these past few years, and he himself must have had some feelings about it, yet he had never asked and not even mentioned it. This was enough to show that he understood in his heart.

Moreover, he had also given ZhiXia his army salary for these past few years. He didn’t even reject it.

Although this money couldn’t compare to the value of those things, it was currently all he had. Aside from anything else said, he was still her older brother, and had given his little sister a promise long ago.

Pei Jing added a few more sentences to ZhiXia’s letter before resealing it.

“Eldest brother and second brother each got 3,500 yuan from dividing up the assets. This house goes to you. Dad will live with us in the future,” Pei Jing told ZhiXia the results of dividing up the assets.

Father Pei was only living here. He had someone to take care of him and wouldn’t require extra effort from them. On the contrary, he could even help them out.

“You don’t have to specially explain to me. I don’t have any opinions no matter how it’s divided,” Still, ZhiXia was extremely surprised. “How can this house be given to me? Shouldn’t it be given to all of us?”

She had assumed the house would be given to Eldest Brother’s family. At most, the things in the backyard would be given to her, since WangYue was also quite capable of kicking up a fuss.

“It was Dad who clearly stated that it should be given to you. It seems that I’ll have to rely on you for my future livelihood. If I offend you in the future and you chase me out, won’t I have to sleep on the streets?” Pei Jing stood up and pecked her lips teasingly.

ZhiXia giggled and said, “If you hadn’t reminded me, I would have forgotten that I could. You have to serve me well in the future, otherwise I’ll chase all of you out.”

Pei Jing helplessly rubbed her head, messing up her sleek hair and evoking ZhiXia’s extreme annoyance.

“I’m taking Chenye and Wanqing with me to the post office. You should have a good rest at home.”

The triplets were taking an afternoon nap. Without the two older ones causing a ruckus, ZhiXia could relax more.

Exhausted by the spring weather, Father Pei was taking an afternoon nap while Sister-In-Law Zhang was also resting.

ZhiXia closed the bedroom door and entered her space.

She was still extremely interested in those two new, advanced planes she had just added. She couldn’t wait to go research them.

The contacts were Elder Immortal Rogue from the Cultivation World, whose profile picture was of an elderly man with the air of an immortal. His specific facial features couldn’t be seen clearly, as if shrouded by a layer of mist.

“Greetings, Elder Immortal. I am an ordinary person from the mortal world. I hope I can learn much from you in the future.” ZhiXia greeted him first, but didn’t receive a reply for quite a while.

She wasn’t disappointed. On the contrary, she felt it was only natural.

An immortal disdaining mortals was very normal after all.

The Magic Elf had long pointed ears and a very beautiful appearance. Her whole body floated above her profile picture against a fantasy-like forest background.

Compared to the Cultivation World contact, the Magic Elf was much more enthusiastic. She had already sent ZhiXia a greeting message yesterday right after being added.

Magic Elf: “Hello! Are you human? I’m a little elf. Welcome to chat with me!”

ZhiXia hurriedly replied: “Hello little elf. I’m human. First, I’m very sorry I was busy with something yesterday and didn’t see your message, so I wasn’t able to reply in time. Please forgive me. I hope we can become friends in the future and share our joy with each other.”

She deliberately matched the childish tone.

The Magic Elf replied very quickly: “Hello Miss Rich. You’re my first human friend. We elves live in the forest. The tribe elder said humans outside are very deceitful and can’t be easily trusted. You won’t lie to me right?”

MissRich: “Of course not. There are differences between humans too. There are good people and bad people. Also, my world here isn’t the same as your world. Most of the humans here are very simple and sincere. They love hard work and life itself, and look to the future with hope...”

Magic Elf: “That’s good then. I choose to believe you. And even if you were a bad person, you wouldn’t be able to trick me anyway since you can’t come to my side.”

Her words were a bit cheeky. That was why the little elf agreed to be friends with ZhiXia.

Ever since she was born, all she had heard about humans were bad things. While afraid, she also developed great curiosity. She didn’t dare leave the forest or come in contact with outside humans. But the contacts recommended by the Interplanar Trade System were different. With the system's assurances, there was no need to fear deception.

In ZhiXia’s judgment, the elf was probably not very old and had the mental capacity of a six or seven year old child at most. She spoke with innocent vivacity.

Since ZhiXia already had experience coaxing children, soothing the elf wasn't difficult for her.

The elf was very talkative. She did most of the talking herself without ZhiXia probing her, and clearly explained the situation on her side.

ZhiXia would occasionally chime in with some words and also told the elf a little about her own circumstances. The elf listened with gusto.

ZhiXia didn’t bring up the topic of trade at all. She simply accompanied the elf in chatting for one or two hours.

Hearing the cries of children outside, ZhiXia hurriedly sent a message: “Little elf, I’m very sorry but I have to stop chatting now. My child woke up and is crying now. I have to go out and comfort him first. Let’s chat again next time!”

It was a bit of an excuse, since she could always bring the children into her space to be cared for by the babysitting robots.

But simply accompanying the chat was also tiring by itself, plus she hadn't rested that afternoon. She was currently yawning nonstop from fatigue.

Magic Elf: “So you already have children! Now that we’re already friends who get along so well, let me give your child a gift. Stick these two leaves on the child’s forehead. They will receive my blessing and have good luck!”

ZhiXia chose to accept the gift. Two leaves appeared in her storage space.

She took out the leaves and placed them on her palm, but didn't notice anything special about them.

MissRich: “My side here is just the ordinary mortal world. It doesn’t have magic as incredible as your side, but there are also many fun things. Let’s chat again next time. I’ll also send you a gift. I still hope you won’t look down on it.”

Magic Elf: “It’s alright. I’ll be very happy just receiving a gift from you. Don’t be delayed. Go take good care of your babies!”

ZhiXia hurriedly exited her space. There were only two leaves. The elf had probably assumed she had two children.

ZhiXia also wouldn't deliberately tell the other party she had five children. That would seem like soliciting gifts.

She first put away the two leaves, with no plans to give them to the triplets. After all, the three of them were still little and couldn’t leave the adults’ care right now. The twins were already older and ran around outside every day. They needed good luck more.

And the triplets, they would still have opportunities in the future.
