Yu Ruyue looked in the direction of the voice and saw a little girl wearing a lilac-colored skirt standing at the door. She was holding a bunch of green vegetables in her hands and had a sarcastic look on her face.

Xiao Shumiao immediately stood in front of Yu Ruyue, like an angry little leopard, and retorted with red eyes, "I don't allow you to say that about my wife! She saved my life!"

The girl sneered, "A wife? A woman who only knows how to flirt with men everywhere. Whoever marries her will be in trouble!"

The sapling wanted to retort, but his mouth was too dumb and he didn't know what to say.

Yu Ruyue felt somewhat helpless. The person in front of her who looked hostile towards her was the village chief's youngest daughter, Shen Jiaojiao. She had a twin brother, Shen Ruichen, who was one of the few successful students in the surrounding villages. Not only was he a good student, he was also well-mannered and polite, and his family was wealthy. That was why he was favored by the original owner, who tried her best to ruin his reputation and wanted to be with him and leave the Shen family.

However, Shen Ruichen studied in the town all year round and had no chance to get close to her. The only time he almost succeeded, Shen Jiaojiao discovered it in advance and nipped her sinister idea in the bud. This is why Shen Jiaojiao was so disgusted with her.

She sighed and didn't refute, which surprised Shen Jiaojiao. "Aren't you quite good at talking? Don't you always argue with me every time you see me? Why are you silent today? Or is it really like what you say outside? Are you crazy?"

Yu Ruyue lowered her head and didn't say anything, still busy with the work in her hands. The stewed fish would taste better if some pig skin was added to it. She shaved the skin off the pork given by the Shu family, cut it into small strips, opened the pot and put the fish into the pot.

The whole room was suddenly filled with fragrance, and even Shen Jiaojiao, who was always picky about food, couldn't help swallowing.

But she hadn't forgotten her business. She took two steps forward and placed the vegetables in her hand heavily on the table next to her. "Don't think that just because you gave my family a fish and saved my father, I will let you get close to my brother."

"My brother is a modest gentleman and will never marry someone else's wife. Just give up on this idea."

"This is the dish my mother asked me to give you. If you take it, don't even think about getting close to my brother!"

Shen Jiaojiao spoke in a particularly fierce voice and was ready to argue with Yu Ruyue, but in the end, all she got was a "Thank you!"

"Thanks!?"

"Yu Ruyue!? Did you take the wrong medicine? You actually thanked me!?"

Yu Ruyue looked at the stunned Shen Jiaojiao and said solemnly, "I was wrong about what happened before. Don't worry, I will never get close to your brother again. I gave you that fish to thank the village chief for saving me yesterday. I didn't have any improper intentions. As for the vegetables, thank your aunt for me."

Shen Jiaojiao's mouth, which was already wide open due to surprise, opened even wider.

Damn it, is this really the Yu Ruyue from before, the one who appeared gentle and soft but was actually full of evil intentions? When did she change? Was she really driven mad? Or were the words I just said too harsh!?

Yu Ruyue ignored Shen Jiaojiao, who looked doubtful about her life. She returned to the house and took out a small piece of salt full of impurities from her bag. She carefully broke off a small piece and put it into the pot.

Next, he poured out a large bowl of bran noodles, beat two eggs in it, chopped a handful of greens, mixed it all together, rolled it into a pancake, and steamed it under the lid of the pot. Bran noodles: crushed rice husks, now used to feed livestock. After everything was done, Shen Jiaojiao hadn't left yet.

She asked curiously, "Is there anything else you want to do?"

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned by the question. This man had flattered her so much in the past in order to marry her brother, but now he actually asked her with such indifferent eyes if she had anything else to say. Was he really crazy?

Shen Jiaojiao tilted her neck uncomfortably, pointed at the fish in the pot and asked proudly, "I just want to ask you how you cook this fish?"

Yu Ruyue smiled and told her the recipe. Her gentle look made Shen Jiaojiao blush.

“Yu~Yu Ruyue, you…you…”

Yu Ruyue looked at her blushing face in confusion, thinking that it was her truth, goodness and beauty that finally made Shen Jiaojiao forget the past and want to praise her!

result……

"Are you really crazy?"

Yu Ruyue was speechless, but she couldn't help but choke back, "You're the one who's crazy! Your whole family is crazy!"

As a result, the village chief's arrogant little daughter was not angry at all. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right! I told you you're not crazy!"

Yu Ruyue's expression was indescribable and she didn't want to pay any attention to this arrogant little girl.

After about half an incense stick of time, the fish soup in the pot was finally ready.

She couldn't wait to open the pot, smelling the aroma that hit her face, looking at the milky white fish soup, her mouth constantly secreting saliva. She sprinkled some chopped green onions first, then scooped out a large bowl and handed it to the sapling next to her, whose saliva was already flowing to the edge of his mouth. "Put a cloth under it, don't burn your hands!"

The smell was so fragrant that the sapling completely forgot to refuse. He quickly took the cloth and walked back carefully holding the bowl of fragrant fish soup.

She was afraid that the child would be burned and the bowl was not full, but to avoid any accidents, she still called out to the neighbor next door, "Sister-in-law! Come out and pick up the child."

After hearing the voice of thanks from the other side, he served another bowl and handed it to Shen Jiaojiao, who looked awkward.

"Here, go back and add some more dishes."

Shen Jiaojiao was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly, "No! I don't want it, don't even think about taking advantage of my brother," but her eyes were fixed on the fish soup.

Yu Ruyue smiled helplessly and said, "I just wanted to thank Uncle Shen and ask you for a favor."

Shen Jiaojiao stared at the bowl of fragrant fish soup, nodded and shook her head.

"No! I can't betray my brother!"

Yu Ruyue smiled and handed the soup forward. "Don't worry! I don't want your brother. I just want you to accompany me to the mountain next door to pick some wild vegetables."

"As you know, I used to be from Hedong Village. I've never been to the mountain west of Hexi Village. I really don't know the way, so I want to ask Sister Jiaojiao to accompany me."

When Shen Jiaojiao heard that it wasn't her brother, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the fish soup. She smiled and assured him, "You've found the right person! I know there's a very lush patch of wild vegetables on the mountain. I'll take you there tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she left happily.

Yu Ruyue looked at her edgy figure and warned her, "Walk slowly, don't burn your hands!"

After sending the two away, he brought the food into the house.

Shen Chou had woken up. He sat on the kang blankly, looking at his reattached arm and the fragrant fish soup on the table. Suddenly, he felt a little dreamy.

Does she really want to live a good life?

After Yu Ruyue quickly drank a bowl of hot soup and put a piece of soft and glutinous fish into her mouth, she felt like she was coming back to life. Although the rice bran was really irritating to her throat, it was better than nothing.

After she finished her meal, Shen Chou was still sitting there, motionless, staring at the woman in front of him, as if he could see through her body and into her soul.

Yu Ruyue looked up and met those deep eyes, then looked at his hanging arm and immediately reacted.

"Oh! I forgot your right arm isn't working properly."

"Wait a moment, I'll go wash my hands first..."

Yu Ruyue quickly washed her hands, then came back and took another pancake. She fished out most of the fish meat from the soup, carefully peeled the fish meat onto the pancake, placed two vegetables on top, and then rolled up the pancake and handed it to Shen Chou, "Here! Eat it quickly! It won't taste good if it gets cold."
