I Have an Immortal Emperor Uncle Who Farms at Home Chapter 10: Mother and Daughter Team Up

Early the next morning—

"Hehe... Uncle, wake up!"

At this moment, Nuonuo was leaning over Ye Fan’s bedside, holding a feather duster and continuously tickling his nose with it, while muttering nonstop.

"Achoo…"

Ye Fan let out a big sneeze and then slowly forced his eyes open. His body felt so exhausted it was as if he had been out stealing all night.

When he opened his eyes and saw that it was Nuonuo, he let it slide. If it had been anyone else, Ye Fan would have made sure they didn’t live to see another day.

"Nuonuo, let your uncle sleep a little longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fan closed his eyes and went back to sleep. He rarely got to enjoy sleeping through the night like this. Back on the Fantasy World, every night was spent half-asleep with one eye open.

Seeing Ye Fan fall asleep again, Nuonuo started tickling his ear with the feather duster. "Uncle, Mama said it’s time to get up and eat."

Ye Fan couldn’t take the tickling anymore and quickly covered his ears with his hands to block Nuonuo’s next "attack."

"Nuonuo, be good, let Uncle sleep just a little more."

Ye Fan gave in and sat up in bed, though his head hung low with tiredness.

"Nuonuo, hurry and tell your uncle it’s time for breakfast!"

Just then, Ye Qingcheng’s voice came from outside the room.

"Mama, Uncle said nobody can make him get up!"

Nuonuo shouted toward the hallway, but her eyes sparkled mischievously as she looked at her uncle.

"What did your uncle say? Sounds like he’s asking for trouble."

"Nuonuo! What nonsense are you spouting? I didn’t say anything like that!" Ye Fan widened his eyes at the mischievous little girl in front of him.

"Hehe, Uncle, if you don’t get up now, Mama’s coming in~" Nuonuo made a playful face and ran out of the room.

"Ye Fan! Ye Fan…"

No sooner had Nuonuo left than Ye Qingcheng entered Ye Fan’s room, her voice following close behind.

But instead of seeing him still lying in bed, she saw he had already tidied up his room.

"Well well, I thought you really had guts now, daring to say no one could wake you up?" Ye Qingcheng grinned as she looked at Ye Fan.

"Sis, come on, like I’d ever say that. Don’t believe Nuonuo’s nonsense."

After saying that, Ye Fan walked around her and stepped out of the room.

……

At the Dining Table

While eating breakfast, Ye Fan kept glancing at Nuonuo, who was quietly focused on her food, not even looking at him once.

At that moment, Ye Qingcheng put down her chopsticks, looked at Ye Fan, and said, "Ye Fan."

"What is it, Sis?"

"Tomorrow, go report to school for me. The registration for senior year of high school starts tomorrow."

"Huh? Sis, you’re not seriously making me go to school, are you?"

"What, you thought I was joking?" Ye Qingcheng shot him a glare and continued, "Also, after I pay your tuition, I’ll take Nuonuo to register for kindergarten."

Seeing her uncle’s obvious dislike for school, Nuonuo put on a serious face and said to Ye Qingcheng, "Mama, Nuonuo wants to go to school. I won’t be like Uncle."

Hearing her daughter’s words, Ye Qingcheng pressed her lips together and smiled. "Hehe, that’s right. We won’t be like Uncle. Uncle doesn’t like to study."

"Exactly! This morning he even stayed in bed. Nuonuo never stays in bed!"

Looking at the mother-daughter duo in front of him, Ye Fan could only stew silently in his frustration. "Sis, so now you’re ganging up on me with her, huh?"

"Alright, eat your breakfast. We’re heading to Laiyang Town together in a bit."

"Okay, okay." Ye Fan said nothing more and just kept eating his breakfast, nodding along.

"Yay! I get to go to school later!" Nuonuo cheered.

Seeing Nuonuo’s innocent and excited expression, both Ye Fan and Ye Qingcheng couldn’t help but laugh.

……

In the Li Family Courtyard

At this moment, the entire Li family had gathered in the courtyard, and everyone’s heart was filled with shock and disbelief.

Standing before them was Li Yanting. Just last night, he had been coughing violently and vomiting blood, his body’s functions nearly consumed by the virus within him.

Everyone thought he wouldn’t make it through the night. But to their astonishment, early this morning, he was full of energy, practicing Tai Chi right there in the courtyard.

"This is unbelievable," one maid whispered, her tone full of amazement.

She knew the old master’s condition well. The scene from last night was still vivid in her memory, it was like he was a completely different person now.

"I heard the master brought back a miraculous medicine last night," said a man standing beside the maid.

"Miraculous medicine?" The maid suddenly recalled how the master had instructed her to cook that cabbage. "Could it be that cabbage?"

"What cabbage?"

"It’s just—"

"What are you all doing here? Why aren’t you working?!"

While the servants were chatting away, a sharp, overbearing voice rang out from behind them.

It was Li Qingyue, Li Wen’s daughter. She was about the same age as Ye Fan but had grown up spoiled by both Li Yanting and Li Wen, making her particularly bossy.

"Miss, we were just watching—"

"Watching what?" Li Qingyue followed the servants’ gaze. "Grandpa?"

Wasn’t that her grandpa standing over there? Last night, he looked like he wouldn’t make it, but now here he was, practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard.

As soon as she spoke, Li Qingyue ran over to Li Yanting’s side.

"Grandpa, how did you suddenly get better?"

Li Yanting paused his movements, looked at his granddaughter, and gently patted her head.

"What? You didn’t want Grandpa to get better?"

"How could that be? I’ve been wishing every single day for you to get better!"

"Hahaha, all the love I’ve given you since you were little hasn’t gone to waste."

Just then, Li Wen, having heard the news, rushed home.

Last night, seeing his father on the brink of death, and with no other option, he half-heartedly had the cabbage he got from Yang Hu cooked as instructed.

After witnessing his father drink the cabbage soup, something miraculous happened—his father, who had been coughing nonstop, suddenly calmed down and peacefully fell asleep.

Once he saw that his father seemed fine, he had no choice but to head back to his business duties late at night due to urgent matters.

Who would’ve thought that this morning, he’d get a call from home saying that his father was out in the courtyard doing Tai Chi.

As soon as he heard the news, Li Wen rushed home as fast as he could.

"Father, are you alright?"

"You rascal, first thing in the morning you’re asking me if I’m alright? What, were you hoping I wouldn’t be?"

"How is this possible? It’s good that you’re okay, really good that you’re okay."

Seeing his father arguing with him in such high spirits, Li Wen finally let go of the worry that had been weighing on his heart.

But suddenly, something unbelievable came to his mind.

"This is unbelievable… absolutely unbelievable!"

Li Qingyue had never seen her father so shaken before, so she curiously asked, "Dad, what’s wrong?"

Li Yanting, standing nearby, also asked in confusion, "Li Wen, what are you talking about?"

"Father, Qingyue, do you know? I discovered a shocking secret."

"What secret?" the grandfather and granddaughter asked in unison.

Li Wen glanced around at the servants and gestured for them to leave. The servants understood immediately and left without hesitation.

Once only the three of them were left, Li Wen slowly spoke: "Father, do you know that yesterday I brought back a head of cabbage from Yang Hu?"

"Cabbage?"

"That’s right. Last night, you were coughing non-stop and vomiting blood, but somehow, this morning, you’ve completely recovered."

"Li Wen, are you saying that all of this… was the effect of that cabbage?"

"Exactly, Father. You might not remember your condition from last night, but Qingyue can testify to it."

As he spoke, Li Wen looked at his daughter.

Li Qingyue then stepped forward and confirmed on behalf of her father, "Grandpa, I can vouch for it. You were completely unconscious last night."

Maybe because of the illness, Li Yanting truly couldn’t recall anything from the previous night.

"It seems this thing really is something special," Li Yanting said after a long moment of reflection. He looked at Li Wen and asked, "You just mentioned Yang Hu?"

"Yang Hu, the general manager of our group, Father. Don’t you remember?"

"How could I not remember? What I mean is, have him come over right away. I want to question him in person."

"Yes, Father. I’ll call him right now and tell him to come."
