The old woman took the land deed with embarrassment, sighed softly, and stuffed it into her bosom.

She knew Xiao Nan was capable and had never coveted her house from the beginning, so she figured if he didn't want it, he didn't want it.

Seeing that she put it away, Xiao Nan smiled and said nothing more.

When Meng Fei saw this, he curled his lips. Although his wife didn't say anything, he had some thoughts about what his grandmother was doing.

After all, it was just half a coarse grain cake that had saved her life. For a wife to do this much, she has already done everything she could.

The old woman gave the dumpling recipe to the Jiang family. For her own family, she made bean sprouts, garlic chives, and even helped with the addition of a new member to her family. Her daughter-in-law did a great job.

Especially her nephew, who also worked in the village and was paid so much, but the old woman still easily gave away her daughter-in-law's things. Her daughter-in-law treated her like family, so did she really want to treat herself like an outsider?

What does the old lady want to make, from small things like food to large things like jewelry?

Is this how she feels sorry for Nan'er? Meng Fei suddenly didn't want to talk to the old woman anymore.

Yunpeng also heard what the old woman said. He glanced at Meng Fei and whispered, "Brother, your sister-in-law didn't mind the drinking, so let's just pretend we didn't see it."

"I just feel sorry for my wife."

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they went up to the roof, where Yunpeng was as happy as a child.

He exclaimed, "Brother, this is even more spacious than the city gate tower! You can see everything in all directions as you walk around the manor!"

"There is only one drawback."

"what?"

"It's just that the roof was a bit low when the enemy attacked the manor."

"Haha, as you said, it's just a manor. If you're worried about someone invading, then you should keep guards."

"No need, we have some at home."

Where is it?

"look?"

Meng Fei pointed to the four little ones playing wildly in the field in the distance, a smile spreading across his face.

"Oh, aren't those Juanjuan and Fengfeng? But what about those two?"

"Haha, you didn't see them when you came last time. They were in my wife's room. Those were leopards."

"My God, how can my sister-in-law keep anything as a pet?"

"Why can't we keep them? They've been with my wife since they were kittens, and she treats them like her own mother. They're always by her side. Sometimes, they even go hunting in the mountains. Last time, they caught a deer."

"Oh, then I'm really lucky!"

"Dream on, we ate it a long time ago, haha."

Meng Fei was in a rare good mood. Yun Peng pursed his lips, his eyes fixed on Quan Quan and the bag. They were so beautiful, so big, and the patterns on their bodies looked like giant pythons from the jungle.

He rubbed his hands together, about to speak, when Meng Fei said...

"You'd better stop thinking about it. My wife's things are not for anyone to covet."

"Uh, okay."

"Can I touch it?"

“They only listen to my wife; it doesn’t work when I call out to them.”

Yunpeng felt wronged and immediately ran downstairs to find Xiao Nan, saying with a distressed expression.

"Sister-in-law, I want to touch the curled-up ones."

"Then you pack these up, and I'll take you outside to find them."

"Okay, okay."

Yunpeng immediately found a large basin and piled all the bowls and chopsticks on the table into it, making the old lady and Xiao Nan stare in astonishment.

The old woman quickly called someone over to tidy up; she's quite adept at ordering her servants around these days.

Xiao Nan smiled as she got off the kang (a heated brick bed), and Meng Fei quickly helped her up, then glared at Yun Peng.

"Don't you know what kind of health your sister-in-law is in now?"

"It's just time to digest after dinner. Come on, or I'll carry you on my back."

"Get lost, that's my wife, it's not your place to carry her, go away."

Meng Fei protected Xiao Nan, dressing her warmly. The three of them wanted to go for a walk, but the old woman refused to go and returned to her own courtyard.

They left the village, and Xiao Nan called out into the distance. A moment later, the four little ones ran back, covered in snow, having rolled around on the ground.

Xiao Nan patted Juanjuan's head and asked, "It's so cold, why are you going out to run around? What did you catch this time?"

With a rabbit in its mouth, Bao Bao approached Xiao Nan as if seeking praise.

The rabbit was already dead. Xiao Nan said, "Thank you, you guys eat, I'm already full."

In an instant, the rabbit was torn apart by the four little ones.

Upon smelling the blood, Xiao Nan quickly took a few steps back and gagged a few times. Meng Fei glared at Yun Peng, only to see that his eyes were wide open.

Staring intently at the circles and bags, I kept swallowing hard, just about to go over and touch their bottoms.

With a swift backhand swipe, several bloody marks appeared on Yunpeng's hand. He knew martial arts, but he hadn't expected the leopard's reaction speed to be even faster than his.

Meng Fei curled his lip and said gloatingly, "Those who don't listen to the elders will suffer the consequences. See, you're injured now."

"Hehe, sister-in-law, you can ask it to let me pet it, okay? I'm already injured."

Looking at his aggrieved little eyes, Xiao Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Bao Bao, come here, let him stroke you a few times, and I'll give you something delicious in a bit."

Bao Bao glared at Yun Peng, walked up to him, and without even looking at him, Yun Peng carefully reached out and stroked Bao Bao's thick, shiny fur, feeling incredibly satisfied.

I touched the bag twice, and then it was gone.

Xiao Nan took out a cloth bag from his sleeve, inside which were several pieces of dried meat. Several animals, smelling the aroma, happily sat down and waited.

Xiao Nan took a piece, impartially saying, "Go, but remember not to go deep into the mountains."

Watching them run away, Xiao Nan smiled happily.

Meng Fei put his arm around her shoulder and said softly, "Let's go back, it's too cold outside."

"it is good,"

Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, Yunpeng felt a pang of jealousy welling up inside him. He was still single, so why was he being so envious?

He had never seen his older brother like this before; it was as if he had become a completely different person.

Back at the village, the maids and servants had already prepared a room for him. Upon entering, he was greeted by a warm atmosphere and several potted plants that were thriving.

The house was surprisingly warm even without a charcoal brazier; it must be related to the house's design.

He sent his men to town, leaving only a servant boy to attend to him, who slept next to his house.

Lying comfortably on the warm kang (heated brick bed), Yunpeng hummed softly.

My own estate in the suburbs of Beijing is incredibly luxurious, but it just doesn't feel as comfortable as this place.

Am I being cheap?

Before long, he actually fell asleep snoring.

Meng Fei carried Xiao Nan to the kang (a heated brick bed), took off her outer clothes, poured her a cup of hot water, and quickly washed and arranged the fruit that Yun Peng had brought on a plate.

"The fact that time was wasted on the road is nothing new."

Xiao Nan looked at the tangerines and pointed, "I want to eat this."

Meng Fei quickly warmed the orange in his hands for a while before peeling it, removing the fibrous parts, and handing it to her.

“Wife, I saw that Grandma gave the jewelry you gave her to Wang Feng to take home.”

"Ok, I know."

"Aren't you angry?"

“Once it’s given to her, it’s hers, and she has the right to dispose of it as she sees fit.”

"My wife has a really big heart."

Xiao Nan paused for a moment and said, "As long as it doesn't cross my bottom line, it's just some ordinary jewelry."

"So what is a wife's bottom line?"

"betray!"

"I wouldn't."

"If you treat me well, I will naturally treat you well. But if you betray me one day, you will suffer a terrible fate."

"That day will never come."

"I hope so."

Xiao Nan nodded while eating an orange: "It's very sweet, with a slightly sour taste. Why don't you try some?"

Meng Fei quickly waved his hand: "I don't like fruit."

"Even if you don't like it, you should still eat some; it's good for your health."

Meng Fei reluctantly ate a piece, but the sourness made him close his eyes tightly and shiver, which amused Xiao Nan so much that he burst into laughter.
