When Wen Nan and Lu Yanqing stepped in.

The gates of Wenzhou City opened, and Zhang Ruyu opened the kitchen door.

They worked together perfectly.

Lu Yanqing was the first to enter the kitchen.

Wennan followed closely behind.

Wen Jinzhong hummed a Jiangnan folk song as he silently put down the kettle in his hand. He was also very hungry, but he couldn't show it...

Wen Nan and Lu Yanqing were busy in the kitchen.

Zhang Ruyu went to the study with Wenzhou City to do her homework.

Seeing that there were people in the kitchen, Wenzhou City and Zhang Ruyu were finally relieved.

Lu Yanqing cut the vegetables, and Wen Nan washed them.

Then Lu Yanqing cooked the dishes, and Wen Nan lit the stove.

"Thank you for today," Lu Yanqing suddenly said.

Wen Nan then put another long wooden stick into the stove.

"Hmm? Which one are you talking about?" Wen Nan looked up slightly. The red glow of the stove reflected on the woman's face, making her appear exceptionally gentle.

Stray hairs dangled from her temples.

Was it about saving Lu Yanqing from under the sedan chair, or about trying to get information from the bride?

Two things.

Lu Yanqing ladled the food out of the pot.

"I've always had bad luck..." The boy lowered his head, his voice filled with inexplicable melancholy.

However, it is difficult for people to detect his emotional fluctuations.

“Yes, I bring good fortune to my husband.” Wen Nan nodded, her expression serious.

Lu Yanqing was also somewhat surprised by Wen Nan's answer.

Lu Yanqing's ears turned slightly red, but as she turned around and pretended to get some food, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

What she said makes sense...

He's always had bad luck, and meeting Wen Nan is probably the only thing that's happened to him so far... well... the best thing that's happened to him so far.

The melancholy in Lu Yanqing's eyes melted away.

Wen Nan could probably guess that Lu Yanqing didn't have any good memories of the sachet's owner.

The warm atmosphere was suddenly shattered.

A soft knocking sound came from outside the door.

A voice, tinged with a hint of probing and a touch of humble caution, spoke.

"My dear daughter, if you two keep going like this... when will our whole family ever get to eat?" Wen Jinzhong had run to the toilet several times, and the cold water he had been drinking had already been expelled.

My stomach feels empty.

He had just overheard quite a bit outside.

I was wondering if I could come and knock on the door, but I was so hungry... and they were at this pace.

When will they be able to get food?

Wen Jinzhong looked the two people up and down.

Are these two people made of iron? Don't they know they're hungry?

Before Wen Jinzhong could finish speaking, Zhang Ruyu suddenly appeared behind him.

He grabbed Wen Jinzhong by the neck; Wen Jinzhong was older and had shrunk considerably.

Zhang Ruyu was in his prime, and very tall. He pulled Wen Jinzhong out in one go.

"You guys continue," Zhang Ruyu said, flashing her bright white teeth.

Lu Yanqing "..."

Wen Nan "..."

Zhang Ruyu is very strong.

"You brat, you have no respect for your elders! I am your senior... How dare you harass me like this?" Wen Jinzhong was so angry that his face turned red.

"Elder?... Please, have some sense. You've lived all these years... wasted your life."

Zhang Ruyu rolled her eyes.

He had never seen such a pale-faced person.

It glows and generates heat when you get close.

Wen Jinzhong "..."

Since Wen Jinzhong arrived, he has become the target of everyone's bullying.

He was helpless; he had no money and no power. He just struggled to make a living all day long.

He was itching... his hands were itching, and he wanted to go to the casino and touch something.

However, Wen Jinzhong owed the casino a lot of money, and now he has neither money nor anyone to rely on.

He was afraid to go to the casino for fear of being held accountable.

They have to rely on this place for a meal every day.

With no one to serve him and no one to pay him, Wen Jinzhong has become much more obedient.

Zhang Ruyu's lesson.

Wen Jinzhong could only put on a show and dared not take any actual action.

The meal is finished.

A group of people sat at the table, and an extra chair was added for Wen Jinzhong next to them.

Wen Jinzhong just said he was going to drink cold water, but now he's eating vegetables more voraciously than anyone else.

The rice bowls in front of them were piled up like small hills.

Zhang Ruyu reached out to pick up a chicken leg for Wenzhou City, but Wen Jinzhong was faster. He put the chicken leg that Zhang Ruyu was about to pick up into the bowl and then took a bite.

His mouth was shiny with oil...

Zhang Ruyu reached out to pick up some greens, and Wen Jinzhong also reached out to pick them up, then stuffed them into his mouth.

Zhang Ruyu was about to scoop another spoonful of soup when Wen Jinzhong grabbed the spoon from her.

Zhang Ruyu endured it all.

Then, unable to contain himself any longer, he slammed his chopsticks down hard on the table.

"Are you a starving ghost?" Zhang Ruyu gritted her teeth slightly.

Wen Jinzhong's mouth was stuffed full.

"You eat yours, I didn't stop you from eating..." Wen Jinzhong added a few more bites of food to the bowl in front of him.

Then he took his little stool and went to the yard to eat.

Zhang Ruyu also picked up a few bites of food and went out to have a friendly exchange with Wen Jinzhong.

You say one thing, I say another.

Wen Nan placed a piece of food on Lu Yanqing's plate, and then, under the watchful eyes of the people of Wenzhou.

Wennan treated everyone fairly, and even served Wenzhou a dish.

The chirping of insects at night, the croaking of frogs in the fields, and the sounds of Wen Jinzhong and Zhang Ruyu chatting amicably while holding their rice bowls outside.

Mixed together.

After finishing this meal.

Early the next morning.

The results of the quiz the day before were out. Master Zhong stood at the front, his face ashen. He slammed his ruler down on the table.
