Seeing the cat bullying the baby again, An Wan said that one day he would know what it means to "abuse your wife for a moment, but then suffer the consequences of trying to win her back."

Just imagining that scene made An Wan secretly gloat: Hehehe—

...

The night was hazy.

I slept without any dreams.

An Wan got up early in the morning, changed into new clothes, and after brushing her teeth and washing her face, the first thing she did was go to the small room to take care of Lu Jiayan.

She's gotten used to her current life, and nothing is more important than him.

While eating breakfast, An Wan noticed that He Sichen was chatting with Lu Sen from time to time, and the conversation was still about the mine.

After just one night, He Sichen, who was visiting the Lu family for the first time, had already established a good relationship with Lu Sen so quickly.

This made her feel a little jealous, as if her position was becoming precarious.

There was also a hint of danger in it.

Was he genuinely curious about Lu Sen's mine? Or was he just concerned?

Or is there another purpose?

——

After clearing away the dishes, Yunping told Lu Jingxing and his brothers to take An Wan outside to play, so they wouldn't have to do farm work.

They also finished some of the housework early.

They already face a lot of academic pressure at school, so they should be allowed to have some fun.

Especially since there was no TV or tape recorder at home, life was somewhat monotonous.

Since Yunping had spoken, Anwan felt embarrassed not to go.

But she pushed Lu Jiayan to go for a walk outside with her.

She had been in Lujia Village for half a month, and she still hadn't properly explored the entire village.

The brothers walked along, chatting and laughing.

Lu Jingxing introduced He Sichen to every interesting place in the village, such as the ancestral hall, the ancient well, and the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.

Lu Chunhe carried An Wan on his shoulders and let her sit on his broad, sturdy shoulders.

With his height of 1.8 meters, he allowed her to look out from the sky and see the entire village.

This feels amazing.

The beautiful scenery of the small mountain village came into view.

It was springtime, and the paddy fields were covered with lush green rice seedlings.

When the spring breeze, carrying the scent of fresh grass, blows, the rice seedlings sway like waves of wheat.

Lu Jingming and Lu Yanshu pushed Lu Jiayan's wheelchair, slowly following behind the group.

Because the road was still a dirt road, not a smooth cement road, we walked a little slowly.

Lu Zhili was at the very front, hopping and skipping, singing a few off-key nursery rhymes.

As a result, their group attracted everyone who was staying inside the house nearby.

The girls, in particular, were completely captivated by their handsome appearances, their eyes sparkling with hearts and their mouths dripping with some unknown substance.

Some of them even nearly bumped into others while following behind them.

Some people didn't watch where they were going and stepped into small puddles, which startled them.

Several girls even bumped into telephone poles.

More and more girls followed behind An Wan and her group, which drew sneers and jeers from some of the boys.

There were also some older women and aunties chattering away, saying all sorts of nasty things.

An Wan pouted, her expression filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment—these feelings exist in every era and every place.

So Lu Jingxing led He Sichen, An Wan, and the others home via a side road.

The half-hour walk came to a hasty end.

With nothing else to do, Lu Chunhe came up with another idea.

I plan to take An up the mountain to pick mushrooms and wood ear fungus last night.

It rained a few nights ago, and there are lots of mushrooms and wood ear fungus in the mountains.

Actually, he wanted to see if she could catch any pheasants or rabbits.

Yesterday, I heard from my mother that Anwan was playing at the foot of the mountain when five pheasants flew to her feet.

It's truly unbelievable that meat is delivered to your door.

He didn't see it with his own eyes, and he absolutely refused to believe it.

It's true that I've been able to eat meat every day for the past few days.

But he believed it was an accident.

These kinds of good things will only happen a few times at most, and won't happen often in the future.

When Lu Chunhe proposed this idea in front of everyone, An Wan was completely petrified.

Now I know why my eyelids have been twitching all morning.

So this "good thing" was waiting for me.

Haha! Second brother, you have so many bad ideas.

Don't think I don't know what you're up to, going up the mountain to pick mushrooms and wood ear fungus.

Hmph~ He clearly wants to do that...that thing.

"Great idea! Second brother, let's go to Shenxian Mountain for fun." When it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, Lu Zhili is always the first to give his full support.

"I support it." Lu Yanshu was the second to raise his hand.

Although I'm home every day, I don't spend 24 hours a day with Anwan.

So every time she went out empty-handed, she would come back with a lot of small animals. He didn't see it with his own eyes, and he still doesn't quite believe it.

“I support it too.” Lu Jingxing gave An Wan a cryptic smile.

"I want to go see that mountain called Fairy Mountain." He Sichen was very curious about Fairy Mountain.

Because of the revival of spiritual energy fourteen years later, many rare and precious materials appeared on this mountain.

“If you’re all going, then I’m going too.” Lu Jingming turned around to get his easel and paints; it had been a long time since he had gone to Shenxian Mountain to sketch.

I bought a lot of paint this time, so I'll paint a few more oil paintings. Maybe I can sell them for a good price.

This little bit of money could be used to help with my art school fees.

I never sold my paintings before, out of a sense of pride.

If the painting had been sold sooner, perhaps the family's situation would have improved, and the parents would have had an easier time.

Everyone stared at An Wan.

Anwan: ...Do I have the right to object?

Lu Jingxing and his six brothers (He Sichen): No!

She blinked her big eyes at Lu Jiayan: "Brother Jiayan..."

He shook his head at her and smiled slightly: "Go have fun! It's okay."
