Juanjuan looked up at her father in confusion.

She recalled what her second brother and Aunt Dongqu had said to her that morning.

Could it be that her second brother and Aunt Dongqu were lying to her?

[And I remember that when I rushed over, the person was already pinned to the ground. How did those three kids manage that?]

Could I be mistaken? Perhaps...?

Juanjuan stopped eating and didn't dare to look up. She just tried to stay alert and listen to what her father was going to say next.

Bai Tian: [Transmigrator halo?]

Juanjuan silently repeated it in her heart.

Time traveler.

Her parents used this word all the time, and she knew it by heart.

But Juanjuan still didn't understand what it meant.

"Juanjuan, why aren't you eating?"

Jiang Dai noticed Xiao Juanjuan holding her rice bowl but not eating.

Juanjuan looked at her mother and asked, "Were you and Dad in the yard last night?"

Staring into the child's clear, innocent eyes, Jiang Dai inexplicably felt a pang of guilt.

Jiang Dai coughed softly, just about to speak.

She saw the dog's wet eyes looking at her, filled not with resentment, but with trust and the nervous fear of being let down.

Juanjuan: "Mommy said she wouldn't lie to Juanjuan..."

Jiang Dai felt as if an invisible sword had been plunged deep into her heart.

"Yes, Father and Mother got up last night..."

Jiang Dai couldn't control herself. She had just told Juanjuan yesterday that she wouldn't lie to her, but today she was keeping it from her. Her conscience was really bothering her.

Bai Yunxing stopped eating and looked at his mother as if accusing her: How did you betray me? Why are your testimonies inconsistent?

Jiang Dai touched the tip of her nose and quickly explained to her little girl, "The brothers and auntie didn't tell Juanjuan because they were afraid of scaring her..."

"I understand. My brother and auntie were just afraid of scaring me, but I'm not scared!"

Juanjuan waved her little fist: "From now on, Juanjuan will fight bad guys too!"

Jiang Dai: ...

[That makes sense. The three remaining sons in the family are all so tough; Juanjuan shouldn't be too different.]

Jiang Dai chose to speak in a calm tone and vaguely told Juanjuan about what happened yesterday: "Last night, some bad guys came to our house to cause trouble, but they were chased away by my parents and two aunts."

"Wow……"

Juanjuan's eyes widened, revealing an expression of admiration, then she seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Then, are Mommy, Daddy, and Aunties hurt?"

Jiang Dai ruffled the child's hair: "Of course not! Your parents are amazing! Especially your dad, he's incredible!"

[I don't know what kind of incredible luck they had, or maybe they were blessed with the aura of a transmigrator, but they managed to beat the strongest one into such a miserable state, tsk tsk tsk...]

Bai Yun'an, standing nearby: "Cough cough cough..."

[Dad? Amazing?]

No, if I hadn't secretly done something to him last night, Dad might be dead.

Bai Yunqi picked up his rice bowl and gave the third brother a disdainful look: "Cover your mouth when you cough! Don't spray it into my bowl!"

"Disgusting!"

Bai Yun'an: ...

This dog is so annoying! I want to kill him.

Jiang Dai turned to look at her soft and adorable third son and asked suspiciously, "Third son, you don't have a problem with this, do you?"

Baiyun pretended to be dumbfounded: "What is Mother saying?"

Juanjuan: ...

The words of my third brother are truly not to be trusted.

But the third brother was just saying those harsh words in his heart, like...

The neighbor's son, Big Hammer's mother, though she says she dislikes her, still makes Big Hammer share his delicious food with her.

Without Bai Yun'an's knowledge, her favorability rating increased by two points again.

After finishing the meal.

Juanjuan, carrying leftover rice, went to feed the chickens as usual.

Now, the two aunts cook, the parents wash the dishes and clean the house, and the brothers go out to dig for wild vegetables, leaving Juanjuan with only some light chores.

This was an easy and effortless task that Jiang Dai specially arranged for her because she knew the child would feel bad if she didn't do any work.

"Curl~"

"Um?"

Juanjuan stood up straight, looking at her older brother who had suddenly appeared, wondering why he had called her.

Bai Yunqi revealed a bright, ingratiating smile.

"Juanjuan, do you want to go to school in town? To go to school!"

Even though her older brother was smiling, Juanjuan felt a chill run down her spine and had a bad feeling.

Why is this little girl so quiet and not saying anything?

I'm still waiting for her to speak up for me later!

"Juanjuan, going to school is great!"

"There are lots of children there! Don't you love reading the most? You can read lots of books there!"

Bai Yunqi looked at Juanjuan with anticipation.

Juanjuan nodded: "What does Big Brother want me to do?"

Bai Yunqi: ? Is it really that straightforward?

"Let's go ask our parents together!" Bai Yunqi said.

"Um."

As soon as Juanjuan agreed, her older brother grabbed her and they sped off to find their parents who were washing pots.

"Mom and Dad! Juanjuan wants to ask when we can go to school!"

Juanjuan: ?

Didn't my older brother say he wanted to go to school first?

"Father and Mother, I want to go too!" Bai Yunqi asked Juanjuan again, "Juanjuan, do you want to go to school?"

Juanjuan nodded: I want to go.

Jiang Dai wiped the water off her clothes and looked at her eldest and youngest children: "In a couple of days, I'll take you to the county to study, okay?"

Bai Yunqi happily exclaimed, "Great!"

[Finally, I can go to the county to collect gold and silver treasures and improve my cultivation! Awesome!!]

Juanjuan, having heard her elder brother's thoughts again: ...

It's okay, I'm used to it.
