I traveled back to ancient times, but I was able to lie down and relax.

Although she has been here for quite some time, she still retains many modern ways of thinking, though there are some principles she will not compromise on. For example, she absolutely will not agree with the ancient patriarchal system and the practice of having multiple wives and concubines.

However, some aspects of how we conduct ourselves in society do need to be changed.

In modern times, most people only need to take care of their own families. As long as it's legal and reasonable, no one will say anything about how a person makes a living or how much money they earn.

But she is in ancient times now, and if she doesn't follow certain rules, she will only suffer the consequences.

For example, if you tell those nobles that everyone is equal and refuse to kneel, aren't you just asking for death?

Realizing these facts clearly, Liu Nanjia felt somewhat powerless, and even when selling fried chicken, she felt a little down.

Song Chen didn't say anything more, but quietly helped her with more things.

When Liu Nanjia got home in the evening, she felt much better. After all, it wasn't a big deal today; it was just having two people she didn't like come over to do chores.

This incident has triggered some emotions.

Just like she had told herself at the beginning, what else could she do since she was already here?

The more important thing now is to solve the immediate problem.

When they got home, Liu Yanxi rushed to greet them. "You're back, little sister. I've thought about it again. If you don't want them to come, then we'll refuse. It was my fault today, please don't be angry with me."

The two disagreed and exchanged a few words, after which Liu Yanxi regretted it.

Actually, they didn't really start arguing; they were just discussing the matter at hand. It's just that their tone might have gotten a little harsh towards the end.

Liu Yanxi also understood that his younger sister was doing it for the good of the family and was afraid that her uncle and his wife might have some bad intentions that could harm them.

So, ever since Liu Nanjia left, he has been blaming himself and decided to apologize as soon as she returns.

Seeing Liu Yanxi like this, Liu Nanjia's last bit of emotion dissipated.

"Brother, it's okay, you don't need to apologize to me. We're both doing this for the good of the family, we just have slightly different ideas."

Actually, the way ancient people and modern people think is different, but of course, this cannot be said out loud.

"I've thought it through. Let them come. We really can't completely disregard our reputation."

“However,” Liu Nanjia changed the subject, “we agreed that they can come, but we must be careful around them. Especially Sirou, you must not contact them alone; you must stay with us, understand?”

Liu Sirou was happy to see her older brother and sister make up, but she was stunned for a moment when she was suddenly called out.

She nodded immediately, "Yes, I'll listen to my sister."

Liu Nanjia patted her head. Fortunately, her closest family members were still very caring.

"And the kitchen, we need to be careful about that too, and make sure no one goes in. Here's what we'll do: once the new kitchen is built, we'll move all the fried chicken and bread stuff in there, and lock the door when we're not using it. We'll also destroy the old oven, and don't leave a single trace of it in the old kitchen."

"I'll do whatever my sister says!" Liu Yanxi said quickly this time.

Song Chen watched the three siblings from the side and smiled. Being able to live here was probably the luckiest thing that had happened to him since that incident.

This minor incident passed quickly. Two days later, after Liu Nanjia and his group moved or cleaned up the items in the old and new kitchens, the people they hired from the village began to work.

After hearing about the new classrooms, the village head came over. He had originally planned to settle the children down and make sure they had a stable life before bringing up the school opening, but he didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic.

The village head was naturally pleased with this, and said, "Since it's built for the children's education, it's a matter for the village. The village will pay for the construction costs of the classrooms."

Liu Nanjia initially wanted to refuse, but after some back and forth, she couldn't bring herself to refuse and had no choice but to agree.

She built the classrooms so that her life wouldn't be disturbed; essentially, it was for her own good. But the village head's words weren't wrong. It makes one sigh that no matter where you are, there will always be bad people and good people.

The people who came to work were all chosen by Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, so they were all honest and hardworking.

They came over after having breakfast at their own home and didn't go back until just before dinner. When they got hungry, they would eat a steamed bun or something they brought with them.

Liu Nanjia felt a little sorry for them, so she provided them with water and some braised food to eat with.

Anyway, it's just taking a small, worthless portion from the braised food they sell; they won't lose much money.

However, this gesture deeply moved everyone. They were sharing food that was meant to be sold for money with Liu Nanjia, and they praised him endlessly.

"This braised food is so delicious! Nan Jia, with your skill, no wonder you can make money. If I had money, I would buy some to eat too!"

"Yes, some people are incompetent, so they say those sour things and are always envious of others."

For a time, this improved Liu Nanjia's reputation in the village considerably, making her feel a little embarrassed.

Of course, there were only two exceptions: Liu Song, the eldest son of the Liu family, and his son Liu Anhe.

These past few days, Liu Nanjia and the rest of her family have been keeping a close watch on them, because ever since they arrived, Liu Nanjia has noticed that the two of them are acting strangely.

The bathroom and classroom were built at the same time. They rushed to work on the bathroom first, since it was closer to the bedroom and kitchen.

Then, when she was working, his eyes would always wander, especially paying attention to her movements when she went in and out of the kitchen.

It's so obvious, only a fool wouldn't see that they have ulterior motives; they're probably after my fried chicken and bread recipe.

"Hmph, they really weren't wronged. They really came here to cause trouble." Liu Nanjia sneered inwardly.

That day, Liu Nanjia made fried chicken and was preparing to take it out to town.

I had just carried the food out of the kitchen.

To distinguish between the old and new kitchens, she and the others agreed on a name: the new kitchen would henceforth be called the kitchen.

Then she saw Uncle Liu walk straight toward her, and he seemed to want to take the things from her hands.

Liu Nanjia immediately turned around and quickly handed the things to Song Chen before closing the kitchen door.

Then, with a half-smile, he asked, "What is Uncle trying to do?"

Liu Song hadn't expected her to move so quickly; the door was already closed, and he couldn't see anything. He gave an awkward smile and said, "I was just trying to help you because you were carrying something heavy."

"So you were trying to help me! Judging from your posture, I thought you were going to steal something! Besides, I'd only taken one step out the door, how did you see me so quickly, Uncle? And how did you get here so fast? Shouldn't you be fixing the bathroom?"

Liu Song was even more embarrassed by what was said, and he coughed deliberately: "Ahem, I came here to get some water, and that's why I came over."

"Oh, so you wanted water. That's in the kitchen, right? There are only a few rooms, how could Uncle have gone to the wrong one? Brother, come quickly and get Uncle some water!"

Liu Nanjia was going to sell fried chicken with Song Chen and didn't have time to argue with him, so she called Liu Yanxi over.
