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

"Fine, I won't lend it! Let me tell you, Song Yanyan, when I'm living a life of luxury in the county, don't be envious and come begging me! ... Even if you kneel on the ground and beg me then, I won't help you!" Song Pan'er trembled with anger and stormed off.

Grandma Song glared at Song Yanyan with a dark expression: "You brat! Just you wait!"

He stormed off in a huff.

Song Yanyan pouted. Well, who are you trying to scare?

The girls felt sorry for Song Yanyan: "Yanyan, your grandma is so biased."

"That's right! Everyone says your third uncle's family is rich, right? Instead of getting new clothes for the New Year, they come to rob you?"

"That's outrageous! Judging from Song Pan'er's behavior, that can't even be called a loan. If she actually took it, she'd probably never return it!"

Song Yanyan shook her head: "That's right. My grandma and my sister Pan'er borrowed clothes from me in a way that was exactly like, 'Kneel down! Lend me your clothes!' It was as if I was begging them to help me."

Everyone burst into laughter at Song Yanyan's antics.

Song Yanyan and her friends played wildly outside until the sun came out at midday. Song Yueping came out to call Song Yanyan back for lunch, and the group of friends finally dispersed.

It wasn't that Song Yanyan and her friends were too playful; it was just that they could only relax a little around the Lunar New Year. On weekdays, they had to help with household chores and didn't have much time to get together and have fun.

Song Yanyan was in a good mood, humming a little tune as she walked home with her second brother. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked Song Yueping, "Second brother, did Grandma come to the house and cause trouble?"

Song Yueping was taken aback: "Huh? No way... Grandma shouldn't be that crazy, coming to cause trouble during the New Year, right?"

Song Yanyan: "Hehe..."

The second brother had absolutely no idea about the bottom line of Old Madam Song.

"There's one more thing," Song Yanyan suddenly asked Song Yueping, "Second Brother, you've been going to see that Sister Zhai a lot lately, how's your relationship going?"

At this, Song Yueping blushed slightly, a little embarrassed: "You're just a child, why are you asking such things..."

"Oh, Second Brother, tell me about it."

Song Yueping couldn't resist Song Yanyan's coquettish advances. She coughed a few times before saying shyly, "Your sister Zhai and I are doing very well. Didn't Mother say that she'll send someone to propose marriage after the New Year?"

Song Yanyan thought to herself, "That's pretty good?"

It's very likely that her silly second brother thinks it's a good thing on his own.

Song Yanyan tugged at Song Yueping's sleeve: "Second brother, I have something to tell you. Next time you go to Shuiwanggou to see Sister Zhai, can you take me with you?... Sister Chunhua moved to Shuiwanggou after her mother remarried. I haven't seen her in a long time, and I miss her terribly. I want to go see her since I have nothing to do during the New Year."

The "Sister Chunhua" that Song Yanyan mentioned was a close friend of Song Yanyan's from before, and Song Yueping also knew her.

Giving her younger sister a ride along the way was no big deal, and Song Yueping, who doted on her sister, readily agreed: "Okay, I was thinking of going there tomorrow anyway. I'll take you with me!"

Song Yanyan smiled sweetly at Song Yueping: "Second brother is so good!"

Song Yueping chuckled, puffing out her chest a bit.

Song Yanyan added in her mind, "Second Brother is good, but he's a bit too love-struck!"

...

After the Song family had lunch, Tian Denghua went out for a stroll, chatted with her neighbors about sunflower seeds, and returned shortly afterward.

With a solemn expression, she turned around, closed the courtyard gate, and hurried to the main house.

The way he looked so urgent was as if a vicious wolf was chasing him!

Song Yanyan was sitting on the kang doing needlework with Qi Lian for a while, and was about to persuade her sister-in-law to take a rest when she caught a glimpse of her mother's unusual behavior through a small crack in the window.

Song Yanyan put the needle and thread back in the basket, told Qi Lian, and went to find Tian Denghua.

Tian Denghua sat alone in the main room, poured herself a bowl of slightly cooled water, and drank it all in a few gulps.

Song Yanyan asked curiously, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Tian Denghua was somewhat uneasy and murmured, "I saw someone!"

"Who?"

"It's that official who arrested you last time." Tian Denghua lowered her voice subconsciously, with a hint of nervousness in it. "He actually went to your third uncle's house!...Do you think he's here to ask us for the money back?"

"No way!" Song Yanyan was also taken aback. "Mother, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

“With that official’s handsome appearance, it would be difficult for me to admit my mistake.” After hesitating for a long time, Tian Denghua hardened her heart and said, “Fine, the common people can’t fight with the officials. I’ll go get the money bag. If he wants it, let him take it.”

Song Yanyan grabbed Tian Denghua's arm: "Mother, no need to trouble yourself, he definitely isn't here to get his money pouch back."

Just kidding, Xie Youchang is the son of Marquis Changxin!

How could he possibly do something like asking for the money back?

……Wait.

Song Yanyan recalled something very frightening.

Grandma Song said that Song Pan'er is going on a blind date with a city guy this afternoon...

Then her mother just said that Xie Youchang went to Song Pan'er's house...

Song Yanyan looked utterly horrified!

Xie Youchang and Song Pan'er are dating?!

This is even more terrifying and horrifying than Xie Youchang coming to your door demanding money!

...Wait, how did these two end up dating?!

It wasn't that she looked down on Song Pan'er; it was just that, according to the objective laws of how things develop, this was truly outrageous!

Song Yanyan's curiosity was about to explode!

Is this the magic of love that makes you go round and round?

Song Yanyan decided to go and see for herself.

...Not to mention, if Xie Youchang really got together with her cousin Pan'er, then it wouldn't be a bad thing.

At most, Song Pan'er just wanted some clothes for her, to make her uncomfortable, and to make her life difficult. In fact, these were all minor squabbles.

Luo Jinyu is going to kill their whole family!

If forced to choose between the two, Song Yanyan wholeheartedly supports Xie Youchang and Song Pan'er!

After persuading Tian Denghua to stop, Song Yanyan secretly slipped out the door and went to the vicinity of her third uncle's house.

Sure enough, quite a few people in the village knew that a distinguished person had visited her third uncle's house, and there were quite a few people watching the spectacle outside her third uncle's house.

After all, there was a carriage parked outside her third uncle's courtyard, which was quite conspicuous.

A horse-drawn carriage! It's a horse-drawn carriage!

They couldn't even muster a horse-drawn carriage from the surrounding villages.

There are some in the county, but wealthy families generally don't come to small places like Zhaoyou Village by horse-drawn carriage.

Many villagers gathered around, watching with curiosity.

There were also people cracking sunflower seeds while craning their necks to look into the yard.

Song Laosan's family was also eager to show off, leaving their courtyard gate wide open, as if they couldn't wait for others to see how their family had attracted the favor of important people.

However, not long after, Xie Youchang, who was not wearing the black official robes but a moon-colored long gown, strode out of the house.

Grandma Song, full of energy, chased after them, her face beaming with smiles: "Honorable guest, won't you stay a little longer?"

Xie Youchang nodded politely and distantly: "No, thank you. I just happened to see him fall on the way and have difficulty moving around. I heard that he was coming here to meet a girl, so I gave him a ride. Now that I have delivered him, I should go. Please go back, Madam."

Upon hearing this, Song Yanyan understood.

It turns out that Xie Youchang was just casually sending someone over, and it wasn't the person he was looking for with Sister Pan'er.

Surprisingly, he's a pretty nice guy.

Grandma Song wanted to persuade her to stay, but Xie Youchang had already strode out of the courtyard.

After Song Yanyan finished eating the melon, she was about to leave when Xie Youchang's gaze fell upon her with uncanny accuracy.
