While Ye Juan'er and her family of three were sitting at the table eating so busy that they had no time to talk, Widow Liu had also finished stewing the venison.

Because Wang Dafeng often gave money to her parents' home, although Widow Liu was stingy, she still had some financial resources.

Today, Wang Dalong fell into the water and fell ill. She was so distressed that she would rather spend more money and bought two kilograms of venison to nourish her son.

"Come, it's time to eat!" Widow Liu brought the prepared venison into the house, placed the large bowl on the kang table, and turned to her grandson and said, "Zhengbao, hurry up and eat on the kang. It will get cold soon."

Wang Zhengbao didn't need her to tell him to and quickly climbed onto the kang.

Widow Liu went to the side room and invited Wang Dahu to come for dinner.

On the kang, Wang Dalong and his son Wang Zhengbao didn't even wait for others and started eating heartily.

Chunhua stood on the ground, watching her father and brother eat meat, and she kept swallowing her saliva with greed.

Seeing this, Jiang was worried that her mother-in-law would come back and scold her again, so she quickly pulled her daughter to the kitchen.

The pot of stewed venison was empty, having been emptied out by Widow Liu. Only two plates of black leftovers, whose contents were unrecognizable, and two steamed buns were placed on the side of the stove.

Jiang picked up a steamed bun, broke it open, and rubbed it several times in the pot where the venison had been stewed. She dipped the broth hanging from the pot wall onto the bun, then handed it to Chunhua and said, "Eat it quickly. Mother dipped it in the broth for you. It's so delicious!"

Chunhua took the steamed bun with mixed feelings and started eating it in small bites.

The steamed buns dipped in broth were indeed more delicious than the ones she usually ate, but Chunhua was no longer satisfied with this little happiness.

She couldn't help but wonder what Qingtian was doing now. Was he sitting next to Sister Ye, eating the venison she fed him?

Mrs. Ye cooked four dishes in the evening, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

The meat dishes are naturally venison.

The best piece of pork belly from the deer, braised in a large pot.

This is for the elderly and children to satisfy their cravings.

I kept a piece of pork shank at home, braised it and cut it into slices as thin as cicada wings. The patterns on it are so beautiful.

This is for men to drink.

The vegetarian dishes include pickled cabbage with vinegar and stir-fried shredded potatoes, both of which are very appetizing and refreshing, and are perfect to be eaten with meat dishes.

When the food was on the table, Ye Laosan finally returned from the riverside.

"Third brother, what's wrong with the waterwheel? Can it be repaired tomorrow?" asked Boss Ye.

"Don't worry, big brother, it's been fixed." Ye Lao San wiped his sweat and grinned, "With the experience from last time, it was much faster this time. I was more nimble and just finished and installed it before dark.

"I just tried it, and it's working now."

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she said with a hint of complaint in her tone, "If I had known it would be repaired so quickly, I shouldn't have asked the fourth child to help fetch water today.

"He was so tired this morning that he went back to his room in the afternoon and fell asleep immediately, snoring so loudly that it was deafening.

"Second sister-in-law, is second brother like this too?"

After he said this, the room fell silent.

Neither Ye Lao Er nor Ye Ersao responded.

It was Old Lady Ye who asked me to help Ye Qingyuan fetch water.

How can one respond to this now?

Saying you're tired is like complaining about the old lady, isn't it?

Saying that he is not tired makes Ye Laosi seem a little pretentious.

So the two of them could only keep silent.

Ye Lao Si quickly tried to smooth things over, "Isn't it just carrying a few loads of water? I've done this before outside the Great Wall. Why are you tiring me out?

"Besides, Brother Qingyuan is a very nice person. Even if mother doesn't ask me to go, I would still like to go and help."

After saying this, Ye Lao Si glanced at Old Madam Ye with a guilty conscience, worried that she would scold Guo again.

Unexpectedly, Old Lady Ye said without even raising her eyelids: "No one is idle today. We are all exhausted. Let's eat first. We can talk after dinner if we have anything to say."

Guo was already prepared to be scolded, but she didn't expect that Old Lady Ye would just let it go. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

In fact, she knew that she would be scolded as soon as she opened her mouth.

But if she could hold back the words once they were on the tip of her tongue, she wouldn't be herself anymore.

It was rare that she didn't get scolded today, which made her feel quite proud.

She thought that the old lady really felt sorry for her pregnancy and was slowly beginning to tolerate her.

However, everyone else could see clearly that the reason why Old Lady Ye did not scold Guo was not because she was pregnant, but because although what she said just now was not pleasant to the ear, her starting point was because she felt sorry for Ye Lao Si.

Old Mrs. Ye was a mother herself. Seeing that Guo knew how to care for the fourth son, she felt relieved even though she didn't like her daughter-in-law.

So the whole family had dinner happily.

Mrs. Ye Er and Mrs. Ye San took the initiative to take over the task of clearing the table and washing the dishes.

Mrs. Ye was about to lend a hand, but was unexpectedly pulled back by Qingtian.

"What are you doing?"

Qingtian didn't say anything, but pulled her towards his house mysteriously.

"Mom, come here, I have something good for you."

"What good stuff is this? Why are you so secretive?"

Mrs. Ye followed her daughter back to the house with a smile on her face, still not understanding what was going on.

Then Qingtian opened her mouth and burst into tears.

"Wow--"

The crying sound instantly filled the entire yard.
