After all, saying one more word won't cost you anything.

The children didn't seem to have much of a reaction to Jiang Yong'an's departure. Perhaps they hadn't seen their father in years and now that they did, they felt he was no different from anyone else, so they just let it go.

However, Jiang Yong'an returned around noon.

Looking at the several fat rabbits that had been thrown to the ground, Gu An'an glanced at the person whose face wasn't even damp with sweat. Had they gone hunting in the mountains?

"How about we stew rabbit meat for lunch?"

The man spoke with a hint of expectation, his gaze falling on his youngest daughter, "Baby, would you like some rabbit meat? Daddy will make it for you."

“The little white rabbit is white and white, but this isn’t a rabbit,” Bao’er said, pointing to the gray rabbit on the ground. “It doesn’t look like my little white rabbit.”

The little girl emphasized this very seriously.

Jiang Yong'an laughed upon hearing this, "Bao'er is right, this isn't a rabbit, it's a big gray rabbit, how about we eat gray rabbit meat?"

"If there's meat to eat, Bao'er tugged at Gu An'an's sleeve. "Your Majesty, Bao'er wants to eat meat. Can you make some meat for Bao'er?"

This is a little girl who can't live without meat; in fact, in the novel, this child also loves eating meat.

Its flavor is somewhat similar to that of Sun Erniang, a heroine from the Water Margin.

At least it's not as heavy-handed now, is it?

Gu An'an nodded, but her gaze towards Jiang Yong'an carried a hint of scrutiny.

What does this man mean?

Didn't we agree that I would raise these children myself? What's going on here?

Gu An'an pulled the person outside to talk.

Jiang Yong'an's expression held a hint of helplessness. "I had a falling out with my family, so I need a place to stay. But don't worry, I won't just eat and drink for free. I haven't wasted these past few years away; at least I can go hunting in the mountains to improve your meals."

Gu An'an looked suspicious. "I can hunt myself. Besides, our food is pretty good. Eating too much rabbit meat can cause internal heat."

Jiang Yong'an was a little embarrassed. "I didn't realize you were so capable." He hesitated for a moment, then pulled Gu An'an inside. "I can do things like killing and skinning rabbits."

Gu An'an blinked. "I can do that too."

Jiang Yong'an: "..."

So you think you're pretty useless, right?
