It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

At the end of the evening, Jiang Yan, squatting in the corner of the room and trying to reduce her hunger by squeezing her stomach, watched Nanny Huang trying hard but quietly to persuade the maid guarding the east gate to smuggle some food to her.

Across the courtyard gate, the maid said with great embarrassment that this was Madam Chang's order and she dared not disobey.

"The old lady punished Miss Fu, but I was implicated. Can't I eat? I've been hungry for two days and I'm almost dying." Although Nanny Huang expected to be implicated and suffer, she was still quite shocked when it really happened.

The voice coming from outside the door was a little hesitant: "That's not very clear. They didn't mention you when they delivered the message."

Didn't even mention it... Nanny Huang paused, then lowered her posture and asked, "Could you please go to the kitchen and ask for me? When I come out, I will definitely not let you suffer any loss."

Huang Ma's reward was probably a relatively generous salary or a better job arrangement, which was very attractive to the maids on the edge of the Chang family.

So after thinking for a moment, she made a decision: "Okay, I'll run errands to ask you, Madam. If there's nothing..."

"I won't blame you even if I don't have it." Nanny Huang made the promise. After all, she was the one who needed help.

The person outside the door felt relieved: "Then don't make too much noise in the yard, I'll be back soon."

"Auntie, don't leave yet," Jiang Yan moved to Madam Huang's side and peeped through the crack in the door, adding in a low voice, "If your family has any extra food, I'm willing to exchange it for money."

The maid said nothing, pretending not to hear. This little girl was unreliable. These days, who has food but doesn't save it first? What's the point of exchanging it for money? The price of food outside changes every day. When she rests and can go out, she may not be able to buy the same amount even if she pays more.

Probably less than half a cup of tea later, the puffing sound was heard again outside the east courtyard gate.

Jiang Yan had sharp ears and quickly moved back to the door from the leeward corner of the house. "You're back so soon. How are you?"

Unable to see who was outside the door, Jiang Yan was careful when speaking. Even if someone else came over to ask questions, they would not be able to find out that they had a secret deal with the maid guarding the door.

"What's up? Who are you?" A boy's voice, deliberately lowered but still childish, rang out, "Please call Sister Fu out. I want to talk to her."

"And me, I want to talk to her too." Followed by another childish and clear girl's voice.

Jiang Yan quickly matched the list of Chang family members she remembered with the list, and discovered that the two people outside the door might be the twins born to Mrs. Chang Er. But what if they were other cousins ​​of similar age...

But what his identity was was not something she needed to worry about at the moment. Jiang Yan replied, "Please wait for a moment, young lady and young gentleman outside the door. I will go and inform them right away."

"Well, go ahead." The one who responded was the little girl who spoke later.

After Jiang Yan's footsteps faded away, the little boy outside the door grumbled a little dissatisfiedly: "She didn't even mention 'little sir' first. It's obvious that I'm the older brother."

The little girl smiled widely and said, "Now it's your turn to call me sister. Come on, call me sister~ Call me sister~"

……

Fu Weixin followed Jiang Yan to the east courtyard gate in a hurry. Hearing the faint sounds of playfulness outside, he asked tentatively, "Like a star? Like a moon?"

"Hey~ It's me~" Separated by a door, the two heads were pressed against the door panel, hoping to have a clearer conversation with Sister Fu.

Even though he couldn't see it, he could sense the passion between the two from their tone of voice, but Fu Weixin was very confused by this.

She had basically no contact with Mrs. Chang Er's children, so why did they suddenly come here and be so warm to her?
