Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

After Ji Nuan said goodbye to Uncle Niu, she had not walked far when she saw Jin Douer running towards her happily from a distance with his short legs. The fat on his little face trembled with his movements, and he looked very cute.

He started shouting before he even got close.

"Auntie, Auntie, I'm here to take you home!"

"Then Auntie would like to thank Jindouer. Come, Jindouer, help Auntie take the pheasant home." Ji Nuan took out the pheasant and handed it to Jindou.

Jindouer immediately took the pheasant and exclaimed, "Wow...what a fat pheasant! Did Auntie catch this? Auntie is so amazing!"

Ji Nuan wanted to tease the child, so she said as they walked, "Compared to your father, who is better, your aunt or your father?"

This really put Jindouer in a difficult position, and her little eyebrows were wrinkled together.

"My dad can make slingshots and wooden chests and wardrobes. My aunt can catch pheasants and collect herbs." He puffed up his cheeks, paused, looked at Ji Nuan, and said, "Aunt, who do you think is better?"

You little bastard! You even know how to throw the problem back.

"Of course I'm the best! I can catch pheasants, pick herbs, and I have a big brother who can make slingshots and wardrobes! What do you think, is my aunt the best?" Ji Nuan shamelessly began to fool the child.

Jindou nodded seriously, "Yeah! Auntie is the best!"

"Let's go home! We'll kill the chicken after breakfast."

"Aunt, braised food is delicious. I want to eat braised chicken." Jindouer said, feeling like her saliva was about to flow out.

Over the past decade, East Chu had been relatively stable, free from both natural disasters and national crises, and most families in Taohua Village had enjoyed a comfortable life. The Ji family's parents were good stewards of the household, and the family had no worries about food and clothing. However, they couldn't afford meat every day; being able to buy meat two or three times a month was something they envied.

"Then listen to Jindouer and ask your mother to make braised chicken nuggets for lunch." Ji Nuan would of course satisfy her nephew with such a small request.

The two were chatting happily when they heard an unpleasant voice.

"Hey~ Isn't this the wild girl from the second house? Is she going up the mountain again? It's useless to be so capable. As a woman, we still have to marry into a good family as soon as possible!"

The person who spoke was Ji Nuan's aunt, Tian, who had protruding cheekbones, thin lips and a pointed mouth.

Ji Nuan put away her smile and said calmly, "Auntie, are you coming home after finishing your work?"

"Yes."

"Where did this pheasant come from? It looks quite fat." There was a golden light flashing in Tian's small eyes, and she was about to reach out to Jindouer.

Ji Nuan stepped forward and stood in front of Tian.

Tian said dissatisfiedly, "Wild girl, what are you doing? You have never been to the kitchen. I stewed the pheasant for you and sent it to you. Don't be ungrateful!"

How shameless! And yet he still speaks so righteously. It turns out that even when traveling through time, one cannot avoid encountering the worst.

Not far away, the Jishan brothers were carrying farm tools and walking towards this side. They also noticed that the atmosphere here seemed to be getting tense, and they couldn't help but quicken their pace.

"Thank you, auntie, you really think of me!" Ji Nuan smiled, a look of genuine gratitude on her face. "You're so kind, no wonder I dreamed of you last night."

Tian looked at her in confusion.

The two brothers Ji Shan rushed over, worried that their younger sister would suffer. Before they could ask, Ji Nuan slowly said, "I dreamed about my grandparents. They were looking for you everywhere in my dream, wanting to know why you hadn't sent them the money for filial piety this month..."

"Wild girl! What are you talking about! You, you... you... unlucky thing!" Tian felt a chill on her back and felt uncomfortable all over. Before Ji Nuan could finish, she interrupted her tremblingly, afraid that she would say something creepy again.

Tian glared at Ji Nuan fiercely and walked away without looking back, as if there was really a ghost chasing her.

The two brothers watched the annoying guy walk away and laughed.

Ji Shan gave Ji Nuan a thumbs up: "Little sister is really awesome!"

Ji He handed the farm tools to his eldest brother and took the herbs from Ji Nuan's hand. He said, "When our grandparents were alive, our aunt would withhold the money for filial piety every month, and our grandpa would have to go and ask for it every few days. Hey, brother, do you think our aunt will be so scared this time that she will go to the grave to burn paper money again?"

Ji Chuan and the others burst into laughter when they heard this.
