A lucky little peasant girl is reborn and brings prosperity to her entire family.

Filled with excitement, Song Yanyan skipped back to Zhaoyou Village.

Just then, a few little girls were playing shuttlecock at the village entrance. They called out to her, "Yan Yan, come and play with us!"

Song Yanyan was beautiful but not arrogant. She had a good temper and was smart. Many girls in the village loved to play with her.

"Coming!" Song Yanyan responded and joined the girls playing shuttlecock.

The shuttlecock is made of chicken feathers, and it's colorful. It bounces up into the air one after another, and it looks dazzling when the sunlight shines on it.

Even though everyone was bundled up like dumplings in the winter, Song Yanyan was agile. With a sway of her body and a hook of her leg, she kicked the shuttlecock high into the air steadily.

In addition, she is beautiful, and her performance was so smooth and captivating that it was a sight to behold.

"it is good!"

Cheers erupted one after another.

As Song Yanyan kicked the shuttlecock, a surge of excitement welled up inside her.

She protected her family's rooster, saving it from being stolen by Luo Jinyu and eaten by that notorious thief!

Her rooster has beautiful tail feathers! She saved its life, so it's perfectly reasonable for her to pluck a few feathers and make a shuttlecock!

Several little girls were kicking shuttlecocks, one after the other. One of them looked down at the path at the foot of the mountain, exclaimed "Huh!" and suddenly stopped kicking, looking quite surprised: "I think I saw my dad. It's strange, he went into the mountains with some uncles to see if they could hunt some game for the New Year, why did he come back so soon?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yanyan's heart began to pound.

Sure enough, there were several familiar villagers on that road, carrying hunting tools and walking this way.

As the little girl looked on in confusion, several villagers approached, their expressions becoming somewhat grave.

The little girl shouted, "Dad, why are you back so early?"

The little girl's father hurried over: "Girl, stop playing and go home right now!"

The little girl was naturally unwilling, pouting, "I've finished all the chores at home, I just came out to play for a while!"

Her father glared at her and said, "What do you know! A group of soldiers went into the mountains, and they looked really fierce... They dragged out a shackled criminal from somewhere, and he was covered in blood. His knife was also very sharp... Those soldiers are going to search the mountains for accomplices! What if they really have accomplices? Wouldn't you be in danger outside? What if those thugs really kill you? Go home right now!"

The little girl's father then looked at her playmates and said, "You guys should also hurry back and remember to tell your families that there are soldiers searching the mountains. They'll know what's going on then."

Upon hearing this, the little girl was so frightened that she dared not argue anymore. She and her friends scattered like birds and ran home.

Song Yanyan pretended to be scared and ran home to tell Tian Denghua about it.

Tian Denghua's expression indeed turned somewhat unpleasant. She went out and called Song Risheng back, who had gone to collect stones and wood to repair the chicken coop.

Song Yanyan looked around the room.

Now that my eldest brother and sister-in-law are here, my third brother is also reading in his room.

Only my second brother is left; I don't know where he went.

Tian Denghua rolled her eyes, extremely irritable: "Where else could they have gone? They must have gone to that guy's house in Shuiwanggou to curry favor with him again!"

Tian Denghua was so angry that she paced around the room.

Knowing what was going on, Song Yanyan stepped forward and massaged Tian Denghua's shoulders: "Mother, don't be angry. Sister-in-law is still pregnant. Don't frighten your grandchildren."

Tian Denghua glanced at Qi Lian's belly, pursed her lips, took a deep breath, plopped down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and said angrily, "Forget it, I can't be bothered with your second brother. The good son I gave birth to is more like a live-in son-in-law."

Tian Denghua said she was angry, but she was actually worried.

He got up again after sitting for a short while, muttering that he was going to check if the door latch was tight, and then he lifted the curtain and went out.

Tian Denghua went for a walk in the yard and then came back and sat down.

His brows were furrowed.

Song Risheng had already put on his outer garment: "Mother, don't rush, I'm going to Shuiwanggou."

Although Qi Lian looked worried, she didn't know how to offer any words of advice.

Tian Denghua's brows furrowed even more, and she snapped, "Sit down! Who told you to go!"

"Mom, it's alright, Shuiwanggou isn't in that direction..."

"Just because they're not going in the same direction doesn't mean everything will be alright! What if some escapees manage to get past us?" Tian Denghua gritted her teeth. "If anything happens, it'll be your second brother's fate."

Song Risheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but Tian Denghua glanced at him and shut him down with one sentence: "...Alright, I know you're worried about Lao Er. But your wife is carrying your child, so you better stay home!"

A look of struggle flashed across Song Risheng's face before hesitantly sitting back down.

Among all of them, Song Yanyan was probably the one who was most relaxed.

Song Yanyan had been relaxed ever since she heard that the government troops had arrested the notorious bandit.

She knew that the notorious bandit was a lone wolf, with no accomplices and no survivors.

Therefore, the only risk her second brother faces when he's out there is being love-struck.

However, Tian Denghua was unaware of all this.

宋燕燕偷偷的想，让她娘回头把二哥揍一顿，治治她二哥的恋爱脑才好呢。

"mother……"

Song Yanyan was about to speak, intending to reassure her mother not to worry too much, when she heard the neighbor's dog barking wildly.

Her heart was lifted.

what's the situation? !

"Don't move, I'm going out to check."

Tian Denghua suddenly stood up, grabbed something from the corner of the wall, and rushed out.

Song Yanyan wanted to go out too, but Song Risheng pulled her back: "You and your sister-in-law stay inside."

Song Risheng also grabbed the sickle that was inside the house and rushed out.

Song Yanyan couldn't stay still, but seeing that her sister-in-law's face had turned pale, she didn't want to leave any longer, so she quickly went to sit with Qi Lian by the kang (heated brick bed).

"Sister-in-law, it's alright, don't worry." Song Yanyan held Qi Lian's hand.

Her hands were warm, and she placed them on Qi Lian's hands.

Qi Lian seemed to draw some strength from it and hurriedly grabbed Song Yanyan's hand.

Fortunately, not long after, Song Risheng, probably worried that Qi Lian and the others would be concerned, went back to the house to let them know he was safe.

He spoke in a very relaxed tone and laughed, "It's nothing, don't worry. They're government officials who came to ask the villagers if they've seen any suspicious people these past few days."

The presence of government officials outside clearly boosted the villagers' morale, causing Qi Lian's tightly furrowed brows to relax instantly. She patted her chest and laughed, "That scared me to death..."

Song Yanyan quickly comforted Qi Lian for a few more minutes before rushing out to see what was going on.

Her courtyard gate was already open; clearly, Tian Denghua had gone next door to see what was going on.

When Song Yanyan went to check, she saw several soldiers asking something in front of the neighbor's door.

Leading the group was a young man dressed in a black brocade robe, with a scarlet cloud-patterned wide belt around his waist and a red brocade ribbon tying his high ponytail, exuding a spirited air.

Song Yanyan glanced at it, her eyes widened, and her heart skipped a beat.

In her dream, during the time her soul was with Luo Jinyu, she saw this young man.

This is Xie Youchang, the youngest son of Marquis Changxin of the capital!

No, what's he doing here?!
