This is terrible! My future prime minister keeps trying to kiss me forcibly.

Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't be of much help with slaughtering pigs, so she took He Wuyou and He Wuyang, the two siblings, to the mountain to pick Chinese toon leaves.

She led the two siblings to the place where they had seen the Chinese toon tree before.

Sure enough, she discovered that the bare Chinese toon tree had sprouted new buds.

New purple buds are sprouting from the straight tree trunk, like children peeking out, swaying in the wind.

Ye Xiaoxiao broke off a branch, held it to her nose and gently sniffed it; the refreshing fragrance filled her nostrils.

Stir-fried eggs with toon leaves are a perfect match!

"Let's pick these tender shoots and ask your older brother to cook something delicious for us when we get back!"

As soon as Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the two little ones started working hard.

If my sister-in-law says it's delicious, then it must be delicious!

Before long, the group had picked quite a few toon sprouts.

Ye Xiaoxiao spotted a bunch of fungi next to a rotting leaf.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be quite a few morel mushrooms.

The mushroom's surface was covered with pits and bumps like a sheep's stomach, and its cap was the color of an eggshell; it looked very fresh.

He Wuyou and his sister found picking mushrooms very interesting, so they squatted down and used twigs to pok and search for them.

He Wuyang saw a very beautiful mushroom, with a red cap and a white stem, which looked very appealing.

Ye Xiaoxiao reminded the two people beside her, "Not all mushrooms are edible. The more beautiful they look, the more poisonous they are. Please remember that."

Upon hearing this, He Wuyang quickly withdrew his hand and moved far away from the mushroom.

"Ah Yang, that thing you just saw, one bite of it could kill you." Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the bright red mushroom, and a background music automatically started playing in her mind.

He Wuyang shivered and moved closer to Ye Xiaoxiao, feeling even more admiration for her.

My sister-in-law knows so much!

Ye Xiaoxiao stood up: "Let's go, that's about enough. Spring is here, and after a rain, even more mushrooms will sprout up. We won't be able to eat them all."

The group returned home laden with their purchases, only to find it started raining halfway there.

"Shh shh shh shh—"

They had no choice but to quicken their pace and rush home in the rain.

The early spring rain felt chilly on her skin, and Ye Xiaoxiao prayed that the two children wouldn't catch a cold.

"Woof woof ...

"Swish—"

Suddenly, the whimpers of a puppy echoed from the mountains, sounding utterly pitiful. Mixed with the patter of the rain, they sounded somewhat indistinct.

He Wuyou stopped in his tracks: "Sister-in-law, I think I heard a puppy's voice."

He Wuyang, who was standing to the side, nodded: "Yes, I heard it too."

Ye Xiaoxiao stared intently at the source of the sound not far away; it seemed it wasn't an illusion.

"You two go back first, I'll go check on things."

Following the sound, she found a hole covered by grass not far away, and the thing was about waist-high.

"Woof woof woof! Woof woof—woof woof woof—"

She used a stick to push aside the partially covered grass and saw a newborn black puppy underneath.

Its fur was all wet, and it was looking at itself through its round, watery eyes, making it cry out in even more aggrieved voice.

"Sweetie, don't be afraid, I'll carry you up here right away."

Ye Xiaoxiao picked up the little black dog from the hole without much effort and held it in her arms.

The little black dog's fur was matted and trembling, and it clung tightly to her chest.

Ye Xiaoxiao returned the way she came and found the brother and sister waiting for her there. Her heart warmed, and she quickened her pace.

The two children were incredibly excited when they saw their sister-in-law bring back a little black dog.

......

Li Yuemei spent the whole morning looking outside He Jing's courtyard but didn't see Ye Xiaoxiao. She assumed that the He family had quietly sent her away, and she was secretly pleased.

She stared intently at He Jing, whose muscular arms were exposed, and felt a surge of excitement in her heart.

It just so happens to rain at this time, and if I get wet, I won't look so good.

She told her dad that wild boars weren't anything to see, and then prepared to go home alone.

Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, he saw Ye Xiaoxiao returning from the mountain path with the two burdens of the He family.

All three of them were soaking wet, but they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.

When Ye Xiaoxiao saw Li Yuemei looking at her, her smile became even brighter.

Is this white lotus here to see if I've been kicked out?

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes held a hint of provocation, and her smile became even brighter, as if to say: You won't get your way.

Li Yuemei looked on in disbelief. Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao's seductive smile, her previous joy vanished.

Even the villagers who were watching the commotion looked in Ye Xiaoxiao's direction.

why?

why?

A fire of hatred slowly burned in her heart, making her face pale, her pupils contract, and her fingers clench tightly together.

As Ye Xiaoxiao drew closer, a terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Li Yuemei's mind.

I wish Ye Xiaoxiao were dead!
