The village chief nudged his silly wife with his elbow and asked gently, "Comrade, are you going to take Xingchen away now?"

Ye Linlang nodded.

"yes."

The village chief was a little hesitant. He was not sure whether Ye Linlang would keep his word.

What if the villagers reported Luo Laoyao one after another, and Ye Linlang went back on her word?

That's not...

"But, Village Chief, don't worry, I won't go back on my word."

The village chief's wife brought a bowl of steamed egg custard from the kitchen and handed it to Ye Linlang, saying softly, "I think Xingchen hasn't had a full meal in a long time. I just boiled some water and steamed a bowl of eggs for her to try."

As soon as Xiao Xingchen saw the bowl of bright yellow steamed eggs, his stomach couldn't help but growl.

Ye Linlang did not refuse. When she saw the situation at the Luo family and then looked at Xingchen's body, she knew that Xingchen had not eaten anything.

"Thanks."

The village chief's wife placed the steamed eggs on the wooden table.

Ye Linlang casually set up a chair for Xiao Xingchen.

Little Xingchen timidly sat on the chair and ate the steamed eggs in small bites with a spoon.

In Ye Linlang's opinion, these steamed eggs were not processed in too much detail. They were simply made with eggs, salt and a little bit of lard.

Even so, Xiao Xingchen still wolfed down his food and ate very quickly.

"Eat slowly, don't burn yourself."

Ye Linlang gently stroked Xiao Xingchen's hair.

Signaled to Xiao Xingchen not to eat too fast, as it would be uncomfortable if it was too hot.

However, Xiao Xingchen has developed a habit of eating very fast every day in the Luo family. She really doesn't know how to eat slowly suddenly.

In a short while, Xiao Xingchen finished a big bowl of steamed eggs.

She obediently took the bowl of steamed eggs and wanted to go into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

The village chief's wife snatched the bowl from Xiao Xingchen's hand and whispered, "I'll wash it."

The village chief's wife is also a woman, and a mother. Seeing little Xingchen being abused like this by the lazy couple Luo Laoya, she felt very uncomfortable.

In fact, a few years ago, when Luo Laoyao brought Xingchen back to Luojia Village, the village chief's wife asked the village chief, "Could it be that Luo Laoyao had stolen someone else's child?"

But at that time, no one took it seriously.

First of all, in Luojia Village and the surrounding areas within a radius of dozens of miles.

Some families are unwilling to raise daughters after they are born. They will either give them away or drown them directly.

This has become the local custom, and the village chief is not in a position to interfere in these matters.

However, the village chief had never expected that Luo Laoyao had actually stolen someone else's child.

And they gave him ten thousand.

Isn’t this ten thousand enough for them to raise their children well?

"Xingchen, let's go to the car and wait for grandpa and uncle, okay?"

Ye Linlang always paid attention to keeping public and private matters separate. She took out a hundred-yuan bill, handed it to the village head's wife, and said gently, "You've worked hard."

The village chief's wife felt the hundred-yuan bill was hot when she looked at it.

"That's not possible, so I just wasted some firewood."

Ye Linlang said softly, "The soap is used up, you need to buy new ones."

The village chief's wife did not expect that she could get 100 yuan just by boiling two buckets of water and steaming a bowl of eggs.

This money is too easy to make.

However, the village chief's wife also knew that such a good thing as making money from the sky would only happen once and might not come again in the future.
