After returning to the village, it was already 9 PM.

There were people at the village entrance to greet them, serving tea and water, and preparing noodles.

"You're back, it's good to see you back~"

"Qingyun is injured, hurry home and apply medicine!"

"I'll have a bowl of noodles before I go back~"

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"Thank you, Grandma!"

Jiang Yue was deeply moved. Most of the villagers had come and were busy welcoming them.

My in-laws are quite old, and they're boiling water and making noodles in the open air, let alone my sisters-in-law...

This was the first time Liu Yunfei had experienced the villagers' kindness; someone handed him a bowl of water and a bowl of vegetarian noodles.

Although there was nothing in the noodles, unlike the delicacies he had ever eaten, for some reason, he felt the taste surpassed even the finest foods...

After eating and drinking his fill, he sat on the oxcart, bidding farewell to the kind villagers, and returned home with Qingyun's family.

A house I've never seen before.

Yes, there are geese that peck people, a smart little white dog, and a very convenient outhouse!

He saw that Qingyun's mother applied purple medicine to Qingyun's body and that he also ate white pills.

When it was his turn, he was a little embarrassed, but inexplicably, he let the other woman apply the medicine for him...

"Alright, for the rest of the area, you're all boys, so help each other apply the cream. Once you're done, put on your clothes and go to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Jiang Yue assumed the young man was uncomfortable, so she stopped applying the gentian violet and anti-inflammatory medicine, placed them aside, gave him instructions, and left the room.

"Qingyun, your mother is so gentle~"

Liu Yunfei said enviously, thinking that if his mother were alive, she would be just like this aunt.

"Yes, my mother is the best mother in the world!"

Qingyun nodded and echoed in agreement.

He then took off his pants, gesturing for the other person to apply the medicine.

Liu Yunfei pouted. How could a young master like him know how to take care of people?

Sure enough, every move he made looked like he was trying to murder someone!

Qingyun screamed in pain. Damn it, if only he had asked his older brother to apply it for him!

However, very soon, it was the other person's turn to yell and scream!

Ah~

"Gently~"

"Ouch~"

"Ouch~"

......

The next day, the weather was fine and sunny.

The sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking woke everyone from their deep sleep, and smoke began to rise from every household in Wujia Village.

Early in the morning, the Qingshan brothers and their companions drove to town to attend to their business.

Da Xue prepared breakfast early, waiting for her mother-in-law and younger siblings to get up.

While it was still early, she squatted down by the courtyard pool and pounded the clothes to wash them. Soon, the clothes were clean and she hung them out to dry...

"Squeak~"

The person who opened the door was a strange young man who looked to be about the same age as my husband, but he didn't look like a country bumpkin; he looked more like a young master from the city.

"Qingyun, and who is this?"

Liu Yunfei pushed open the door, went to sleep, and felt extremely comfortable.

Everything he saw was unfamiliar, especially a young woman with her hair tied up; he didn't know how to address her.

"Oh, this is my sister-in-law. You can call her sister-in-law too."

Qingyunchong's sister-in-law nodded and gave an introduction.

"Sister-in-law~"

Liu Yunfei was very quick to respond and shouted as soon as he opened his mouth, without any hesitation.

Da Xue nodded in agreement and casually said:

"Well, since he is my third brother's classmate, he is an honored guest. Third brother, please take the guest to wash up. There are bowls and chopsticks on the table. He can eat after he has washed up."

"Okay~"

Liu Yunfei continued, his eyes shining as he looked intently at Qingyun behind him:

"Just call me Brother Liu, that way your family can call me Little Liu."

"Oh, Brother Liu."

Qingyun nodded. After all, the other party had taken a beating for him yesterday, so it wasn't a loss for him to call him "brother."

Afterwards, he took Brother Liu to the washroom to wash up.

"Oh, you also use salt to rinse your mouth?"

"What's this?"

"Toothbrush~"

"What is this, a handkerchief?"

"Towel~"

What about this one?

"Soap~"

"Your house is so nice! My house doesn't even have these things!"

"Oh, where do you live?"

My home is in—

Liu Yunfei hesitated, wondering if he would frighten this simple family if he said his home was in the county government office.

"The son of Magistrate Liu naturally lives in the county government office."

At the same time, Jiang Yue came out of the house with two doses of medicine in her hand. As she took over the conversation, she handed one to the dumbfounded Young Master Liu and the unsurprised Little Third.

Liu Yunfei looked around, wondering if this would cause trouble.

As a result, apart from the sister-in-law who seemed a little surprised, Wu Qingyun behind her didn't show any surprise at all!

This is a bit strange. He is, after all, the son of a county magistrate. Wherever he used to be, his cronies, or rather, his friends' families, were all extremely respectful and fearful.

"Mother, how did you know?"

Qingyun had only guessed that this gentleman's identity was unusual, but he didn't have the ability to pinpoint that he was the county magistrate's son.

Because I was mentally prepared, I wasn't too surprised when I heard the other person's identity.

"Yes, Auntie, how did you know?"

Liu Yunfei followed local customs and started calling her "Auntie" as well.

"Young Master Liu, you must have a bad memory. Last summer, my eldest and second sons set up a stall in town selling cold noodles. Didn't you spend a tael of silver and eat several bowls of cold noodles with the same girl?"

Jiang Yue smiled faintly, saying that she had actually forgotten about it until she got up in the middle of the night and found her two sons squatting in the corner whispering to each other, and that's when it all made sense...

No wonder Magistrate Liu readily opened the court and sent his constables to the Peng residence...

It turns out that someone's son was implicated and arrested by the Peng family!

By a twist of fate, his own son unwittingly became acquainted with the son of the county magistrate!

"Oh, so it's my aunt's cold noodle shop!"

Liu Yunfei then realized what was going on!

Our fate is quite deep!

Haha~

"Yes, my eldest and second sons recognized you last night. They said you had too much silver ingot, and they haven't seen you come back for cold noodles since. They remember that~"

Of course, Jiang Yue made that up on the spot.

It's very easy to fool a greenhorn.

"Sigh, my father was very strict with me back then. He kept me locked up at home to study until recently, just before the provincial examinations, when he finally let me out..."

Liu Yunfei said with a bitter face, completely unaware that he had been tricked into revealing information.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for standing up for my son. From now on, you can stay at home as long as you like. Our whole family will treat you as an honored guest, okay?"

Jiang Yue laid the trap step by step, her face filled with boundless kindness.

Liu Yunfei was susceptible to this approach; he listened to reason by talking to him gradually.

On the contrary, he is extremely rebellious!

"Hey, it's a deal. As long as my father doesn't come looking for me, I'll stay at my aunt's house!"

Okay~

Jiang Yue has plenty of money and food now, so she's not afraid of having more mouths to feed!

Next, we invite you into our trap!

Qingyun was puzzled. His mother would never do a losing deal, so why would she take in the other party?

He won't undermine his mother; he'll just wait and see what she decides to do...
