Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

Manager Cao said this with a distressed expression, and looked at Sang Ning with a wistful gaze.

It was as if Sang Ning had wronged him.

Sang Ning was even more confused.

"You have ducklings, but your goslings have nothing to do with me?"

"How can it be unrelated! Those were hatched from those two phoenix eggs!"

Manager Cao's voice rose considerably, sounding quite angry.

Sanning: "..."

Phoenix eggs...

Oh, oh my God!

Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, so how could a mother hen possibly give birth to a phoenix?

And sure enough, chicks hatched.

How did he... how did he hatch it?

Manager Cao was also frustrated!

How did it hatch?

It's all because of greed. They couldn't bear to eat it, so they wanted to get a pair of phoenixes.

This wouldn't have been a problem, but then my wife started talking nonsense and bragging to her sister that she was going to bring a pair of phoenixes to celebrate her father-in-law's birthday.

Her snobbish brother-in-law, who already looked down on people, would now spend ages bringing up how he got scammed and mocking him for being naive.

Hey!

It makes me feel suffocated just thinking about it.

Sang Ning could only quickly change his expression as well: "My family was also deceived! How dare that person be so bold as to deceive the Grand Commandant!"

But that egg doesn't look like a chicken egg at all. It's white and smooth, like a goose egg. How could it hatch into a chicken? And even if it is a chicken, it can't be an ordinary chicken, right?

That's true. It was much bigger than a regular chicken, and as soon as it hatched, it proudly pecked at him.

Moreover, its fur is yellow and its mouth is red, making it exceptionally beautiful.

"Besides, the egg tastes sweet, and eating it can cure many ailments! It couldn't be from an ordinary chicken, could it?"

After hearing what Sang Ning said, Manager Cao also felt that it might not be a chicken.

Maybe they just look alike!

But it doesn't look like a phoenix at all. It doesn't have a single colorful feather.

Mo Cuiyu: Isn't this referring to the swan eggs at home?

However, she wouldn't say a word or ask any questions.

"Never mind, your family was probably scammed too." Manager Cao saw that Sang Ning really didn't seem guilty.

Moreover, that egg really doesn't seem ordinary. Let's raise it a little longer and see what it will look like.

"I'll take all of these skewers. And you promised, the sweet potato is free, right?"

"I'll take it, I'll take it!"

After seeing Manager Cao off, Sang Ning rubbed his forehead.

Sigh, lying too much will eventually lead to being exposed.

……

The two of them wrapped everything up.

All the ingredients, seasonings, and water buckets must be taken away; nothing will be left behind. Even rats will sigh when they come.

Then lock the door.

Outside on the street, a group of ragged children stood, drooling.

Sang Ning felt sorry for her, but there was nothing she could do. Even if she wanted to help, she couldn't do it openly.

This is inviting trouble upon yourself.

When Sang Ning got home, she saw Jin Tang still practicing kung fu, while Jin Xin and Jin Xiu were squatting on the ground, engrossed in playing something.

I didn't see Xiao Feng'er; she's probably helping out inside. That child is so sensible and really loves cooking.

Ever since Sang Ning told her to learn how to cook, she took it to heart. Whenever there was someone in the kitchen, she would go over and learn from them.

Mo Cuiyu, carrying a basket, went into the house first.

Sang Ning put down the wooden bucket and went to the two girls' side, peeking inside.

Damn, a chick!?

With yellow feathers and a red beak, it's incredibly beautiful, looking adorable just hatched, but it's twice the size of a newborn chick! It's fluffy like a ball.

Sensing the shadow, Jinxiu looked up.

His eyes lit up instantly.

"Fourth Aunt, look, isn't it beautiful? It was born from Grandmother!" she shouted.

Sanning: "..."

Jinxin corrected: "She wasn't born to my grandmother. She said she was bought from outside."

“It wasn’t bought; I saw my grandmother cuddling it in bed at night.”

"No way! How could Grandma give birth to chicks?"

"That's right, that's right! Grandma can give birth to anything, I want her to give birth to a puppy to play with!"

Jinxiu's voice is loud, and Jinxiu's reasoning is sound.

Jin Xin's still-developing understanding of the world finally collapsed under Jin Xiu's resolute determination.

"I want a kitten," she whispered her wish.

"Sir, you little pup."

"Can't we have them together?"

“No, you can only have one child at a time, but…” Jinxiu’s eyes darted around, as if she had thought of something.

Sang Ning had a bad feeling and started to walk away.

"Fourth Aunt, are you capable of having children?"

"Won't!!!!!"

The Liu father and son, who were repairing the water room, were trembling from holding back their laughter.

Jintang didn't move for a long time, her little brows furrowed like an old man.

The two younger sisters don't seem to be very bright?

Shouldn't he teach them something when he has free time?

Despite the commotion, the old lady didn't even show her face.

It's either because they feel guilty or they have a strong mentality.

Sang Ning also knew that they had probably been exposed, and it wasn't just this one egg.

But no one ever asked, nor did they show the slightest strange look.

Let's all be idiots then.

It's rare to be confused.

Another surge of heat made Sang Ning move with difficulty into the house.

She's currently wearing a menstrual belt she sewed herself, made of cotton and wood ash, so its absorbency is probably just average.

And it seems she only sewed three strips.

We need to hurry up and sew a few more!

Upon entering the room, one could see Huo Chang'an leaning against the headboard, half-covered by a quilt, resting with his eyes closed.

The kang (heated brick bed) was two meters wide, enough for him to stretch out; his long legs took up half of the kang.

Something is floating by the window again.

Sang Ning took a look.

My underwear got washed again!

If she remembers correctly, the clothes she changed yesterday should still have some menstrual blood on them!

Forget it.

Whether it's the eldest sister-in-law or the third sister-in-law, they're both disobedient in this respect. Let them wash if they want; they're too lazy to do it anyway.

"There's brown sugar and millet porridge cooking in the kitchen," Huo Chang'an reminded him, his eyes half-open, as if he had just woken up.

Ah! She was just thinking of having something hot to drink!

It must have been her sisters-in-law who noticed she had her period and started waiting!

Sang Ning shuffled over to the small, shabby cabinet and opened it.

Oh hoo!

A stack of menstrual blood was neatly arranged!

Upon counting, there were eight!

My sisters-in-law are so kind! Sang Ning is so touched.

Judging from the poor stitching, Sang Ning guessed that it must have been made by her third sister-in-law, but it was still much better than what she sewed herself.

Anyway, she didn't plan to reuse it; she would just throw it away after use, so there was no need to sew it so meticulously.

Sang Ning took a piece of clothing and stuffed it into her bosom. She glanced at Huo Chang'an, who had closed his eyes again, and then slowly walked out.

As soon as the door closed, the person on the kang (a heated brick bed) opened their eyes.

Shining brightly, like stars in summer, without a trace of languor or lethargy.

Then, with a bewildered expression, he grinned and pulled his hand out from under the covers.

In her hand was a menstrual belt that had been sewn in half, and the needle was still stuck in her finger.

This is the fifteenth time I've been pricked.

However, I've also honed my skills, so I'll be able to do it much faster in the future.
