Outside, a group of onlookers peered in, while inside, An Dalin and his two brothers, along with several of An Mancang's generation, were respectfully and politely chatting with the disciples of the god.

Even Anmantun, who works as a carpenter in town, came over this time.

Anle stayed in the west room and followed An Ding and the others, peeking out from behind the curtain.

An Yi's excited little face turned bright red.

"Now that these 'gods' disciples' have entered our home, we are truly honored."

Anle rolled her eyes and muttered to herself, "This is what I got in exchange for a sika deer that I hunted. It's all talk and no action. It's just nice to talk about, but I can't actually spend it!"

In her opinion, her adoptive father was a complete idiot.

Why would you give away your own good stuff for nothing?

The person secretly complaining is completely oblivious; who deliberately misled them?

"The people from Tianxianglou will come and take these pigs away first thing tomorrow morning. Little sister, do you still want Dad to go to town to set up a stall?"

"Should I go with Grandpa and let Dad stay home and wait for the people from Tianxianglou to come and sell the pigs?" An Ding asked, glancing at An Le.

Anle paused for a moment, thought about it, and scratched his head.

"Second brother, why don't you go to town with Grandpa? After Dad sells the pig tomorrow, I'll go into the mountains with him again, do some hunting, and hunt for a few more days. I think we'll save enough money to open a shop in town. I'm thinking of opening a pastry shop in a few days, and then Mom can go and look after the shop."

Anjing: "Huh?"

An Ding: "What?"

An Yi: "Huh?"

An Ning: "Huh?"

Anle blinked, paused, and looked at her brother and sister who were staring at her in surprise, asking suspiciously.

"Isn't that enough? How about we earn a few more days?"

To be honest, she hadn't bothered to find out the cost of running a shop.

An Ding shook his head stiffly.

"No, that's not what I meant. Little sister, you misunderstood. It's not that it's not enough, it's just that I'm a little shocked."

An Ning asked, both bewildered and excited.

"Little sister, what were you thinking? Why did you suddenly decide to open a pastry shop?"

Anle shrugged, glanced at An Ding, and smiled wryly.

"It didn't happen suddenly. I had told my second brother before that I wanted to open a pastry shop."

Quietly, she shook her head in disagreement.

“My mother isn’t very good at making pastries.”

An Yi shook his head like a rattle drum, "No, no, no, this is no joke. Opening a pastry shop is not easy. If we lose it all, we'll definitely lose everything."

"We haven't even started yet, how do you know we'll lose money? You don't support me and you're even trying to dampen my enthusiasm. Are you still my brother? Do you act like a proper older brother?" Anle put his hands on his hips and glared at An Yi.

An Yi, with his neck stiffened, spoke eloquently and logically.

"Is that even a question? There are plenty of people in that town who have lost everything by running shops."

Besides, there are plenty of pastry shops in this town, and we don't have the skills to make them. Why should we expect others to come to our shop to buy from us?

People specifically go to the shop that sells the best-tasting food.

Another thing is what my eldest sister said: "Mom doesn't know how to make the pastries sold in shops. If you open a pastry shop, what are we going to sell?"

Anle waved his hand dismissively.

"You don't need to worry about this or consider it. I have my own plans."

An Ding glanced at An Le, seemingly wanting to say something but then hesitated, opened his mouth but didn't speak.

Anle looked at An Ding with her eyes crinkled into crescents, showing off her little white teeth.

"Second brother, just say what you want to say."

An Ding hesitated for a moment before speaking out what was on her mind.

"Little sister, if we sell these wild boars, the money we earn will be more than enough for us to live comfortably."

"Let's save this money. With the profits from selling these few wild boars, our family will definitely be living one of the best lives in the village."

"Second brother, what you're saying is really pathetic. You think selling a few wild boars is enough? That's not enough!"

Not only do I want to open a shop, but I also want to build myself a large villa with a garden.

After speaking, he paused, cleared his throat, and Anle gestured with his hands to correct himself.

“Well, build a big mansion for our family, then you can each have your own room and won’t have to live together.”

An Ning's eyes lit up as she listened.

"Oh, little sister, that's a great idea. Fourth sister supports you. Whatever you say goes."

An Yi glanced at An Ning.

"Fourth Sister, what are you doing, following your little sister's nonsense?"

An Ning glared at An Yi defiantly.

"I'm not messing around, and I don't think our little sister is messing around. I think our little sister is a woman of her word."

Didn't my little sister say she could send us all to school? Well, she did it!

Third Brother, is it all thanks to our little sister that you were able to get into school?

Were we able to get so many pigs thanks to our little sister?

And that piece of wood, was it also thanks to our little sister that we were able to make money?

We've been enjoying delicious food and drinks these past few days, isn't it all thanks to our little sister that we've been able to eat meat buns and eggs?

And the books you use, the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and the hair ornament I wear in my hair—all of these are because my little sister is here.

My sister can do everything she says, so why don't you believe her? And why do you say she's just being silly?

Even if it's just nonsense, if it weren't for my little sister being so silly, would our family be living such a good life now?

Ask yourself honestly, what serious things has our little sister gotten herself into all this time with her antics?

If this happened to you, would you have made such a fuss?

Would anyone in our village cause such a scene?

Would such a thing happen to the people in the surrounding villages?

But our little sister actually did it!

"If my little sister says the pastry shop can open, then it can open."

An Yi and the others were speechless, because An Ning had said everything correctly.

Anle smiled and patted Anning, who was standing in the same trench as her.

"That's right, that's right, Fourth Sister is much more enlightened."

Hearing the commotion outside, Anle peeked out, and seeing that everyone had gone out, she crawled into the outer room and continued to look out.

They saw two followers of the deity, their faces beaming with joy, driving a cart and taking the sika deer away. The whole family respectfully saw the followers off in the courtyard before returning to the outer room.

"Brother, shouldn't we leave two of these pigs?" An Mantun rubbed his hands together and asked An Mancang, his eyes secretly glancing at his father, signaling An Daliang to say a few words as well.

An Daliang, putting on airs, disregarded An Mancang's wishes and presumptuously made the decision, speaking with an air of entitlement.

"Of course we have to keep both ends; we agreed on that last night."

An Dalin's face immediately fell, and he glanced at An Daliang with a half-hearted look, uttering a sarcastic remark.

"Third brother, second brother, is it your turn to be the head of our household now? When did I agree to that?"
