Although she was worried, her anger outweighed her worry. After learning that Chu Mingxiao's condition had stabilized, her anger became even greater.

She originally just guessed that Chu Mingxiao went up the mountain to hunt just to check out the bandits' lair on the mountain.

But she didn't expect that she would be injured like this. She was angry because she thought she had explained it clearly to Chu Mingxiao.

But unexpectedly, in the end he still didn't say a word to him and just brought the four of them to a dangerous place.

A man who is angry will fall asleep while lying down.

It was not until Su Mingyue cooked some hot chicken porridge and came in to call her that she got up sleepily.

In the middle of winter, who would like to come out of the warm bed?

Besides, she was already tired after a whole day, and it was already dark. Although she was hungry, it was still difficult for her to get up.

"Big sister, I learned how to make porridge from you. The chicken porridge is so delicious. It's made with the pheasant you hunted today!"

Su Qiuyi got up yawning, quickly put on his cotton jacket, then shiveringly went downstairs to put on his shoes.

I had already made up my mind that I must get some good charcoal back from Bai Xiaojing.

Ordinary people in the Tiansheng Dynasty had no access to charcoal fire, but she really couldn't stand the cold without a charcoal fire in the house.

Although she was also a child from the north in her previous life, she had heating in the winter and was not cold at all. After coming here, she really felt uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the dining area was relatively warm, and Su Qiuyi held the hot bowl of porridge in both hands and refused to let go.

"Dad, has Big Brother Chu woken up? Do you need to send him a bowl of porridge?"

Su Mingyue served porridge to the four members of the family and asked her father who had just come out of the room where Chu Mingxiao lived.

"I'll take you there in a while! Let's eat!" Su Lao San walked to the dining table, sat down, and saw his eldest daughter with a pale face. He began to lecture her with heartache.

"It's so cold! Yiyi, don't go into the mountains again! Seeing you suffer like this makes me sad!"

"You still have your father at home. Next year, when the new house is finished, he will go back to work at the lumber shop. He can earn one ounce of silver a month, which is enough to support you three sisters!"

"Dad made all the furniture for the house himself, which saved a lot! If it really doesn't work, we can put the ones we can't fix aside for now. As long as our family has a place to live, we can slowly fix the rest!"

"Take your two sisters and learn some needlework! Cook for dad! You are not young anymore! It is time for you to get married! There is no woman to take care of the family. Dad will ask your aunt to come over and teach you how to embroider your dowry!"

Once Su Laosan started talking, he kept talking. He felt that he should be both a father and a mother, and that he couldn't keep silent about these things just because they were embarrassing.

"Also, Yiyi, your needlework is really not that good, you should learn from Yueyue! And Xingxing, you have to learn from her too!"

The two sisters couldn't help feeling embarrassed. Although Su Qiuyi felt deep down that not all girls had to know how to sew, this was ancient times, and she felt a little embarrassed that her father disliked her poor sewing skills.

She retorted, "Dad, if I remember correctly, I'm only fourteen years old? I'm so young and I'm ready to get married? Are you willing to marry me off so early? I still want to stay at home and take care of my sisters!"

It was an excuse, and she knew it was just an excuse, but she didn't want to get married at such a young age and have children one after another in this ancient time when medical conditions were so backward.

In ancient times, when a woman gave birth, she literally walked through the gates of hell. If she wasn't careful, she would never be able to come back.

Moreover, she looked at her own little face. Although it had changed a lot since she first came and was much prettier, it was still not enough. Her figure was also skinny and shriveled. She was really not worthy of the eyes of a good man. Getting married so early would be ruining herself.

Now that she was here, she hadn't thought about what would happen to her. She still wanted to live her life as usual.

Because she found that there was a law here that allowed women not to marry, but after their father's death, a female household had to be established, and the conditions for establishing a female household were somewhat harsh.

"What are you talking about? You are already forty years old. After the New Year, you will be of age in summer. If a girl is not married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, she will be an old maid and will be laughed at!" Although it was inappropriate for a father to say this, there was nothing he could do because the children had no mother left and he could only say it himself.

But to Su Qiuyi, these words were like a bolt from the blue.

Sixteen or seventeen? Still a child! Getting married? Having children?

She doesn't want it! Oh my God! This might as well be the end of her life.

"Dad, I can't bear to see my eldest sister get married..."

Before Su Qiuyi could think of anything to refute, Su Wenxing sniffed and spoke in a crying voice.

After saying that, she turned around and wiped her tears somewhat embarrassedly.

The little kid who always disliked his second sister for being a crybaby was crying louder than anyone else at this time.

"What? Uncle, who are you going to marry Yiyi to?"

Just when Su Laosan was at a loss as to what to do with his crying daughter, Yang Ruchuan's voice was heard outside the door.

There was disbelief in his voice, and his steps became much faster.

Su Lao San held his forehead with his hand, "Okay, okay, stop talking! You're ruining your sister's reputation! I was just saying that Yi Yi is about to reach marriage age! I didn't mean to marry her to anyone!"

While explaining, he pulled Yang Ruchuan, who had run in, to sit at the table.

"Cousin, have you eaten? Eat something quickly!" Su Qiuyi greeted him quickly as if he had seen a savior.

Su Mingyue also hurried to serve porridge to her cousin.

"How can I have time to eat? I went back and called Xiangzi and Uncle Wei to come over. I'm just hungry now!"

Yang Ruchuan now has no burden at all when eating at his uncle's house.

Unlike before they separated, he would be glared at even for drinking a sip of water at their house, let alone eating. He was also reluctant to eat food at his uncle's house, and even if he wanted to eat, there was nothing to eat.

When Su Laosan heard this, he hurried out and called Qin Wei and Wang Xiang, who were embarrassed to come in, to come in for dinner.

There was plenty of porridge, and although there was only one pheasant in the porridge, it tasted so delicious that Wang Xiang and Qin Wei almost forgot to breathe.

In the village, every household is still eating bran and vegetables. Who can afford to eat white rice? Isn't that too extravagant? You may not even be able to eat it during the Spring Festival.

So the two of them were too embarrassed to enter someone else's restaurant. Firstly, they felt embarrassed, and secondly, they were afraid that they would drool too much and lose face.

After dinner, Su Qiuyi took the three of them to divide the prey.

Twelve goats, three pheasants, five hares, and two roe deer. These were the total, and they were divided equally among the five of them.

"Yiyi, it's not fair to split it equally. Most of the gains here were made by you and Master Chu Huai, so the big share should go to you two! We are just helping out, so just give as much as you think fit!"

Yang Ruchuan took the lead in refusing to divide the road equally.

"That's right, we were just carrying some prey, we didn't actually kill anything! Just give us what you think is right!" Qin Wei also spoke up.

Although he also loves to eat meat and every household is short of oil and water, the prey is hunted by others and has nothing to do with them, so it's good enough to get a share.
