The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

"The cloth shop up ahead sells quilts. Aunt Jiang, let's go there and take a look."

"it is good."

With Goudan leading the way, they soon arrived at the cloth shop, where Jiang Yan bought a relatively cheap set of bedding for one hundred coins.

Jiang Yan smiled as she touched the dark blue coarse cloth and the old cotton wick underneath. This merchant had a conscience, otherwise it would be hard to say what was inside the blue coarse cloth.

Seeing Aunt Jiang's constant smile, Goudan reminded her, "Aunt Jiang, you should buy a machete. The farm will distribute other farming tools, but not machetes."

Goudan was afraid Jiang Yan wouldn't understand what he meant, so he said it directly. "Aunt Jiang, a machete isn't just for chopping wood; it's also for self-defense. You and Sister Chenchen should buy one. That way, some people won't dare approach you."

Jiang Yan agreed with Goudan's words. Before, hatchets were too far removed from their lives. If Goudan hadn't reminded them today, they wouldn't have even thought of buying one.

"Thank you, Brother Goudan. If you hadn't reminded my mother, we wouldn't have thought of buying this."

Chenchen's sister's soft, sweet voice expressed her gratitude, and Goudan's heart melted. No wonder Dad always secretly discussed with Mom about giving them a sister.

Hehehe, he only realized today that it feels really good to have a sister.

Goudan happily drove the donkey cart to the blacksmith shop, and Jiang Yan exchanged half of the silver bracelet for a kitchen knife and a machete.

When they passed by the steamed bun shop on the corner, Niu Dan's eyes were glued to the steaming meat buns and he was reluctant to leave.

The woman selling steamed buns saw them and shouted even louder, "Selling steamed buns! Big meat buns are three cents each, vegetable buns are two for three cents each, and plain steamed buns are one cent each."

It was already noon, and Jiang Yan saw that the children were so hungry that they were drooling, so she wanted to get off the car and buy a bun for each of them.

Goudan licked his lips but stopped Jiang Yan, "Aunt Jiang, the meat buns are too expensive, three cents each, let's not buy them."

Goudan thought, "Auntie Jiang can buy half a pound of meat with twelve coins. I can take half a pound of meat home and my mother can chop up some radish and cabbage so we can make a pot of dumplings, which is enough for our family to have a meal."

Jiang Yan didn't expect that Goudan was so good at living, and she was happy for Sister Guan.

But it was already noon, and she couldn't let the children go back with empty stomachs, so she bought four steamed buns and gave one to each of the four children to fill their stomachs first.

She went to the pork shop and bought half a pound of fat, half a pound of pork belly, and a bone without meat.

Passing by the grocery store nearby, Jiang Yan also bought a bag of salt, as well as small items such as bowls, chopsticks and spoons for eating.

Seeing the plump and greasy meat, the three eggs' eyes were as warm as the scorching sun in midsummer.

Jiang Yan smiled gently. After she got on the donkey cart and sat firmly, she told Sandan about making dumplings.

"Take this half pound of fat back with you. Have Sister Guan kill a fish, clean it, cut off the head and tail, pick out the bones, and grind the fish into a paste. Then chop the fat into small pieces and add it to the fish to make stuffing. Just add some ginger, scallions, and salt to the stuffing."

Thinking of that taste, Jiang Yan's expression was filled with aftertaste. "Fish dumplings are very delicious. The leftover fish head, tail, and bones are not wasted. You can make a pot of fish soup, which is very nourishing."

Jiang Yan had heard that dumplings stuffed with Spanish mackerel were incredibly delicious, but she was allergic to Spanish mackerel and had never tried them.

When Three Eggs heard Aunt Jiang talk about the fish dumplings, they started drooling before they even tried them.

Especially Niu Dan, who kept urging his elder brother to drive the donkey cart faster. He ate up the steamed buns that Aunt Jiang had just bought for him in just a few bites.

At this moment, he wanted to go home early so that his mother could make them the fish dumplings that Aunt Jiang had mentioned. From what Aunt Jiang had said, it seemed like they were all meat. Just thinking about it made him feel delicious. He had to eat a big bowl.

Who made him drool just because Aunt Jiang mentioned the filling of the dumplings?

Goudan felt the same as his younger brothers and was eager to go home.

When the donkey cart passed by the Baihu Office again, it did not stop and ran even faster. The two soldiers guarding the gate were both confused.

"Did Goudan even glance at us?"

"He didn't even glance at us."

"Weird."

"Yeah, it's very strange."

Goudan didn't know what the two soldiers were thinking. His brothers were urging him so hard that he had only one thought in his mind: to go home early.

It was unknown how many times Guan had stood at the door of her house, looking towards the end of the dirt road.

Zhang Xiaoqi had just sent the two Shen brothers away, still cursing and scorning them: "I've never seen such shameless people in the Shen family. And his parents have changed their minds and don't want the third son's wife to be separated. Bah! Damn it, they still think I'm stupid. They're a little naive to try to trick me."

"Boss, what's going on?"

"What else could it be? They're trying to trick me into taking back the documents of division and severance of family ties. They're just trying to sell the Jiang family to Wang Quezi from Huangjiazhuang."

"What? Those two bastards want to sell Sister Jiang to Wang Quezi?"

"That's exactly what I mean. Those two bastards just now were talking sweetly to me, thinking I couldn't see through their evil intentions. That lame Wang and his two brothers are waiting not far away. If I can't see through the twists and turns here, I'd be a fool."

"Damn it! Those two are such a disaster! Everyone around here knows what kind of people Wang Quezi and his brothers are. They actually wanted to sell Sister Jiang to a family like that. Why don't they just die for the good guys?"

Guan was not satisfied with her scolding and was about to jump up when she suddenly remembered something. "Boss, you should go along this road to pick up Sister Jiang and Goudan."

"Yeah." After being reminded by his wife, Zhang Xiaoqi put on his sword and mounted his horse. He held the reins to urge the horse forward, and the chestnut horse started running along the dirt road with all four hooves.

On the donkey cart ahead, the three brothers were still complaining to each other: "I told you I'd pick her up last night, but you insisted on waiting until today. Now look what happened! Not only has that little girl separated from the family, she's also severed her ties with the Shen family."

"Who knew things would turn out like this? Besides, even if the family splits up, so what? As long as she's the daughter-in-law of Mr. Shen, the Shen family can control her."

"Bullshit, the old boss of the Shen family said that the woman seemed to have suddenly come to her senses. Not only did she want to separate the family and cut off the relationship, she also set up a female household."

"Establish a female household!!!"

"Female households are free and good citizens."

"Yes, that little girl is now a female household member, and none of us military households can do anything to her."

"Then the Shen family can't do that too?"

"What's so great about the Shen family!!"

"The Shen family is a military household just like us, so why would we bother that woman?"
