She looked at Mr. Chen and wanted him to make the decision for her, but she saw that his face turned dark.

"You old bitch, behave yourself! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will be rude to you!"

Old Madam Chen snorted coldly with an unpleasant expression and turned her head away.

Xie Fanjin had already eaten and drunk his fill, but the Chen family hadn't started eating yet.

Why? Because it rained and they had no firewood to cook.

This time, the Chen family didn't make any noise, but they were all hungry.

Chen Xiaobao was about to faint from crying, but he insisted on eating roast duck. Mrs. Chen Er was so angry that she slapped him, and then he really fainted.

Mrs. Chen Er and Mr. Chen Er were frantically pinching Chen Xiaobao's philtrum.

The couple really loved their child, so Mrs. Chen Er came to Xiao Yanxi to ask for roast duck again.

Madam Chen Er brought a piece of cloth and said, "I brought this from the Duke's Mansion. It's not top-quality material, but it's not bad. Can I exchange it for a few pieces of duck meat?"

Xie Fanjin handed over the remaining pieces of duck meat and took the cloth from Mrs. Chen Er.

Xiao Yanxi finally understood why Xie Fanjin didn't eat many bites of the roast duck. It was not because it was greasy, but because she specially left it for Chen Xiaobao.

It was still raining, so we didn't rush.

At noon, the Chen family finally couldn't help it and started to make a fire and cook.

Everyone pooled their money and went to the official to buy firewood, but the official didn't have any.

Xie Fanjin had some money and didn't ask for it. He just said that the Chen family would pay it back when the weather cleared up.

Chen Xinyu finally couldn't help but said: "Xie Fanjin, you knew it was going to rain, why didn't you notify us? How could you be so selfish?"

Xie Fanjin frowned: "Why should I tell you, who do you think you are?"

While they were repairing the roof, Wang Tiezhu and the others guessed that it might rain and even knew to put up a shed. Why didn't any of the Chen family do anything?

It's mainly because of laziness. I thought that even if it rained, I could live in their thatched hut and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

It's interesting that you are still questioning her now.

Chen Xinyu: "We are all exiled together, so we should take care of each other..."

Xie Fanjin: "Have you ever taken care of us?"

Chen Xinyu: “…”

After dinner, Xie Fanjin took out the cloth that belonged to Mrs. Chen Er and gave it to Mrs. Chen San: "Can you make me some inner clothes?"

Mrs. Chen San was of course willing: "What kind of flowers do you want to embroider? There are mandarin ducks playing in the water, and there are also..."

Xie Fanjin paused, "No need for embroidery. Just make the top like this and add a few more layers of fabric..."

Xie Fanjin picked up a branch and drew the shape of a modern bra. Mrs. Chen San blushed.

In this day and age, wearing a bellyband is embarrassing enough. The thing Xie Fanjin painted is only half the size of a bellyband.

Xie Fanjin felt embarrassed to wear the underwear in front of this group of grown men, and Mrs. Chen San felt embarrassed to make it.

So she found a corner and did it behind people's backs.

Bingyi thought that Mrs. Chen San was feeling wronged and was wiping away tears, so he came over and asked, "Mother-in-law..."

"Get over here!"

Bingyi originally wanted to ask if the Chen family had bullied her, but Xiao Yanxi's words frightened Bingyi so much that she trembled and hurried over cautiously: "Master, what are your instructions?"

Xiao Yanxi: "Go outside and see if the rain has stopped."

Bingyi was stunned. The rain was so loud. Besides, there were no windows in this thatched hut. He could see the rain outside just by looking up. Was there any need to go out to see?

The master has given the order, and Bingyi must go out for a walk.

Mrs. Chen San couldn't help but burst out laughing.

In half an hour, Mrs. Chen San and Jin had made the underwear that Xie Fanjin wanted, and they made two pieces. Xie Fanjin was very happy.

Although the original owner's body was not that plump, she felt something was shaking inside her bellyband when she wore it. She didn't dare to jump, and it felt like the wind was blowing through her when she bent over. With the new underwear, she felt much more comfortable.

Xie Fanjin was just wondering where to change when Xiao Zhenzhen came over and said seriously, "Everyone is in exile now. Even if you dress like this, you won't be able to seduce my third brother..."

Moreover, it was raining so heavily that if you went outside, you would catch a cold.

Xie Fanjin almost vomited blood: "Who, who said I was wearing it for him."

Xiao Zhenzhen blushed: "Then you, then why did you let the Third Madam do such revealing things?"

Xie Fanjin was depressed.

"Xie Fanjin...Xie Fanjin...Xinxiu is sick, please come and see her!" Madam Chen squatted in front of Chen Xinxiu and shouted towards Xie Fanjin.

Mrs. Chen Er immediately said, "It's just a cold. Drink more hot water and sweat it out. What are you looking at?"

Besides, Xie Fanjin’s medical treatment is free, and their second wife has no spare money.

When Chen Xinyu heard that Chen Xinxiu was ill, something flashed in her eyes, and she quickly said to Mrs. Chen Er, "Second Aunt, we still have to hurry on our journey after the rain stops. If Xinxiu is ill, I'm afraid she'll have to be carried by my second uncle. If she gets seriously ill, she might even die. Please talk to Grandmother and ask Xie Fanjin to take a look."

Mrs. Chen Er's eyes lit up. Yes, now that they are living together again, the money for Chen Xinxiu's treatment should be paid by Mrs. Chen.

So, Mrs. Chen pinched herself and went to find Mrs. Chen with red eyes.

Although she didn't like Chen Xinxiu, her daughter was already grown up and would be getting married soon, so she still wanted to get some benefits from Chen Xinxiu.

After a while, the eldest lady came again: "Mom, Qingbo's wife is also sick. She keeps sneezing and having a runny nose. She is pregnant, and Xinyuan is not in good condition either..."

Although the Chen family didn't get soaked much during this rain, it kept raining and they got soaked every time they went out to relieve themselves. It was normal for them to catch a cold.

Old Madam Chen was so angry that she wanted to scold Xie Fanjin again, but she didn't dare to, so she could only glare at Xie Fanjin fiercely.

Xie Fanjin sneered: "Don't blame me, it's not me who made the rain fall."

Even though Xie Fanjin said this, the Chen family still felt that Xie Fanjin was deliberately harming them.

Even though they hated each other, they still had to give money to Xie Fanjin. Xie Fanjin asked for one or two taels of silver and boiled a large pot of medicine to dispel the cold, and everyone got a bowl.

Seeing that Jin and Mrs. Chen San had all drunk the medicine, Mrs. Chen was furious: "Why do we pay for it, but others still take our medicine for free?"

Xie Fanjin: "Who said that if I can eat yours for free, I can't eat mine for free?"

Mrs. Chen San put down the medicine bowl and immediately agreed: "That's right, we took advantage of Miss Xie, but not you."

Old Madam Chen was so angry that she almost suffocated.

The Chen family also realized that if they offended Xie Fanjin, they would only suffer losses and gain no benefits at all.

The sky finally cleared up and everyone went out to bask in the sun.

Xiao Zhenzhen complained, "It's been raining for three days. If the sun doesn't come out, I'm going to get moldy."

"The rain has stopped, but we have to hurry on our journey again. Cousin, please don't cry." Chen Xinyu joked with a smile on her face that was covered in medicine.

Xiao Zhenzhen looked at Chen Xinyu in surprise and felt that Chen Xinyu was a little strange, but she couldn't seem to tell what was strange.

After going through so much, Chen Xinyu also understood that if she wanted to get close to Xiao Yanxi, she had to find a breakthrough from Xiao Zhenzhen first.

Before, she was still acting like the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, but now she has to lower her posture.

Chen Xinyu felt that lowering her posture was only temporary. One day, she would get what she wanted, and those who looked down on her would rush to curry favor with her.

"Pack up your things and get going now!" Wang Tiezhu shouted, and the gongs and drums started beating.

Although the sky was clear, the road was very muddy.

After walking a short distance, everyone's feet were covered in mud.

Xiao Zhenzhen was pestering Xie Fanjin again, asking what they wanted to eat in the evening.

Now she realized that what everyone ate in the evening and how much they ate was decided by Xie Fanjin.

"what……"

Suddenly, a scream came from the front, and Chen Xinxiu slipped and pounced towards Xiao Yanxi.
