"Sit down and eat!"

Shen Yuan's voice brought Jiang Yuchen back to his senses.

He quickly picked up his robe and sat down on the stool.

Shen Yuan handed the bowl and chopsticks to Jiang Yuchen. At this moment, Chu Yuning came out of the room, smelling the aroma of food.

When Granny Liu saw Chu Yuning, she took out an empty bowl, picked up some vegetables and tofu from the plate, and then took a bowl of white rice from Tian Tian. She carried the two bowls to Chu Yuning.

"Here's your food!"

Chu Yuning glanced at the two porcelain bowls that Granny Liu was holding; it was clear that she didn't want him to sit at the table to eat.

His brows furrowed slightly. It was one thing for Shen Yuan and the others not to invite him to eat, but now that he was out, they still didn't want him to sit at the table.

That's absolutely outrageous.

Chu Yuning didn't reach for her bowl. Instead, she turned to Shen Yuan and questioned, "I've already paid for the medicine, meals, and lodging. I'm being treated here, and all you give me are some vegetable leaves?"

"Eat if you want, or get out." Jiang Yuchen said impatiently.

Chu Yuning's eyes remained cold: "I wasn't talking to you!"

He paused, then looked at Shen Yuan with a sharp gaze, full of accusation.

Shen Yuan replied in a low voice, "You are ill and your spleen and stomach are weak, so it is not advisable for you to eat meat."

"Is it that you don't like eating meat, or that you're unwilling to let your patients eat meat?" Chu Yuning asked in return.

Shen Yuan laughed in exasperation: "You really are exactly like your little sister!"

Upon hearing Shen Yuan mention Chu Qiuyue, Chu Yuning was immediately stunned.

He recalled how Chu Qiuyue had questioned the effectiveness of the medicine Shen Yuan had given them, and as a result, Shen Yuan had cut off his sister's medication, forcing him to pay for his own medicine.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuning frowned deeply.

His sister had died long ago in the village; her clothes were torn to shreds by wild animals, and her body was nowhere to be found. He searched the entire back mountain for the money she had taken, but to no avail.

It's unclear whether it was divided up by the villagers or buried somewhere.

All these misfortunes originated from Chu Qiuyue's argument with Shen Yuan, which she found unacceptable.

Chu Yuning did not refute. He took the bowl from Liu Mama and returned to his room with a gloomy expression.

"Such delicious food! It would be perfect with a pot of wine too! I'll go buy some!" Jiang Yuchen said, getting up to go out and buy some wine.

Granny Liu stopped him and said, "You want to drink? I happen to have some rice wine that I brewed a few days ago. It won't make you drunk. I'll take it out and we can all have a little!"

"Rice wine?" Jiang Yuchen smiled and said, "Rice wine is sweet and delicious! I love it!"

Granny Liu quickly brought out a small, sealed jar from the kitchen.

Granny Liu opened the jar, and the white rice inside had already swelled up. The fermented juice gathered in the round gaps left in the middle of the rice, and a layer of dried osmanthus flowers was sprinkled on top.

The poured wine had a faint osmanthus fragrance, which smelled wonderful.

Besides Tian Tian, ​​Granny Liu ladled a bowl for everyone.

Sweetie also looked longingly at the jar in Granny Liu's hand. When Granny Liu saw that she wanted to drink, she smiled and ladled out a spoonful for her.

"Although this rice wine won't make you drunk, it's still alcohol. If children drink too much, they won't grow tall, so just try a little bit!"

"good!"

Sweetie took a small sip with the spoon, and her round eyes instantly lit up: "Mmm...it's really delicious! Sweet wine! It's sweet wine!"

"It's really delicious! Grandma, your cooking skills are excellent. The rice wine you brew is even better than what I buy outside!" Jiang Yuchen drank a bowl and then asked Granny Liu to serve him more.

Granny Liu refilled Jiang Yuchen's cup, saying, "This rice wine of mine is just something I made casually; it's not as good as what you buy outside."

"Grandma, don't be modest. My family owns a liquor store, and I'm an expert when it comes to drinking! If I say your liquor is good, then it really is good!"

"Since it tastes good, then drink more!"

Granny Liu handed the wine jar directly to Jiang Yuchen.

Jiang Yuchen took the wine jar, filled his own cup, and then added some to Chen Yuan's bowl.

Shen Yuan was a little tired today, and drinking alcohol could help her relax, so she drank two bowls. But after she finished, she stopped Jiang Yuchen from refilling her cup.

"Although this wine was brewed for a short time, it's easy to get drunk if you drink too much. You've already had seven or eight bowls, stop drinking!"

"How could anyone get drunk from rice wine? It's laughable if word got out!"

Jiang Yuchen retorted, then poured himself another bowl, and only put the jar down after emptying it completely.

But as soon as he put down the wine jar, he collapsed onto the dining table.

Shen Yuan: "..."

Rice wine has a sweet taste, which masks the alcohol flavor, making it difficult to detect. Therefore, it's easy to get drunk if you drink too much.

Shen Yuan never expected that Jiang Yuchen's alcohol tolerance would be so low!

He actually got drunk from drinking rice wine!

Looking at Jiang Yuchen lying on the dining table, she couldn't help but feel worried. Although Jiang Yuchen had lost ten pounds on the way to Jian'an City, a fat man weighing 170 pounds was not someone that anyone could easily lift.

"What...what should we do? Should we help her to the back room to sleep for a while?" asked Granny Liu.

Shen Yuan shook her head: "Let's wait! He brought two servants with him. He hasn't been back for so long, Qian Chuan and Qian Pai should be here soon."

But even after they finished eating, Jiang Yuchen's two servants still hadn't arrived.

Liu Mama was worried that Jiang Yuchen would catch a cold if he slept on the table like that, so she went next door and called two men over to help carry Jiang Yuchen into the room next to Chu Yuning's to rest.

Just as they settled Jiang Yuchen in, Qian Chuan and Qian Kao came looking for them again.

Seeing that their young master was already asleep and it was inconvenient to move him, Qian Chuan and Qian Dai had no choice but to discuss with Shen Yuan, "Miss Shen, it seems that we can only let our young master stay here for the night. We can take him back tomorrow when he sobers up, how about that?"
