Previously, Ning Huan had to eat first at home. If the four little dumplings ate first, they would inevitably get a beating.
Especially since there was fragrant meat in the meal, they dared not touch their chopsticks.
Ning Huan felt very sad looking at her four little ones' pitiful expressions. Children should be innocent and lively, but her little ones were obedient and sensible at a young age.
She actually hoped that these four little ones could be like Zhou Xiaofang, able to act recklessly because they had someone backing them up.
"You can all eat these dishes. I made them so that everyone could eat together."
Ning Huan picked up a piece of meat for Xiao Sibao, and then ladled a spoonful of meat broth for Xiao Sanbao, saying, "From now on, you don't have to be afraid to eat. You can eat however you want."
Xiao Erbao was very surprised. He asked incredulously, "Really?"
Ning Huan nodded and said, "Really, but there's one thing you still need to remember..."
When the four little ones heard Ning Huan say "but," they all lowered their heads, knowing that the bad woman wouldn't let them eat so easily.
"You can't just eat meat and vegetables all the time. You need to pay attention to a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, and you also need to eat green vegetables."
As she spoke, she picked up a bite of the stir-fried vegetables she had just made and gave it to Xiao Sibao.
"This meat dish is nutritious, but vegetables also have many benefits. We shouldn't be picky."
The four little dumplings stared in disbelief. Was that all the requests they were getting?
What kind of requirement is that?
Seeing the little ones' blank expressions, Ning Huan couldn't help but smile and say, "Alright, stop spacing out, go eat."
As soon as the words were spoken, the four little ones realized what was happening and quickly picked up their chopsticks.
Looking at Ning Huan, Zhou Jing'an felt that she was different from the woman he had seen before.
If she had her own reasons for seeking medical treatment for herself, then why did she react to the changes in her little dumpling?
They also set traps, collected herbs, and even used them to cure diseases.
These changes were unlike anything the previous woman had done. He wouldn't believe her explanations.
Thinking of the stories of resurrection through corpses in ancient books... Could this woman in front of me be someone else?
So what exactly does she want to do?
Thinking of this, his gaze toward the woman turned sharp.
Ning Huan was completely unaware of this. Instead, she watched as the four little ones ate the food she had prepared with great relish, and a smile of satisfaction appeared on her face.
Zhou Jing'an stared at that smile, slightly lost in thought. Regardless of whether the woman in front of him was a reincarnation, a human or a ghost, she had indeed not done anything to harm anyone.
If we're talking about evil spirits, then Ning Huan from before was probably the real ghost.
Seeing Zhou Jing'an lost in thought, Ning Huan was a little surprised and put another piece of mutton on his plate: "Why aren't you eating? I made this ginseng stewed mutton especially for you; it's good for replenishing your qi and blood."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jing'an subconsciously responded, then realized that Ning Huan had said the dish was specially made for him.
"You did this on purpose..."
Just as he was about to say something, Xiao Sibao asked from the side, "Mommy, you said this stewed meat soup was specially made for Daddy. Is there anything specially made for me?"
Ning Huan said with a smile, "Yes, this roasted lamb is something I made especially for you. Try it!"
Ning Huan had already removed the gamey smell from the mutton, so there was none at all, only the fragrant aroma of meat. The four little ones especially loved the roasted mutton.
Zhou Jing'an also took a bite of the stewed mutton that Ning Huan had given him; it was indeed very delicious, tender, and smooth.
Seeing that her family was enjoying the food she had cooked, Ning Huan felt that all her hard work had paid off, and she ate the meal with extra relish.
"However, although this food can replenish your qi and blood, your health has been deteriorating lately. We need to go to town as soon as possible to get a doctor to treat your injury. We can't delay any longer..."
Zhou Jing'an frowned slightly upon hearing Ning Huan's words: "But the Zhu family's oxcart..."
Ning Huan had been thinking about this too, but Zhou Jing'an's health simply couldn't be delayed any longer.
"If all else fails, I'll go to the Zhu family tomorrow and see if I can persuade them."
That being said, many people in the village had previously asked the Zhu family to use their oxcarts to go to town because they had urgent matters at home.
However, the Zhu family refused all of them.
As I said before, their livelihood depends entirely on that cow, so naturally they have to cherish it.
No matter what urgent matter you have at home, no matter how much you complain, if the cow hasn't had enough rest, then it's simply not going to work.
But there's still one more thorny issue. Zhou Jing'an paused and said, "You offended Sister-in-law Zhu with your argument. Even if the oxcart is rested, she might not necessarily let you..."
Upon hearing this, Ning Huan's eyes widened instantly.
When will there be another show like this?
She tried hard to recall, and sure enough, she saw the scene in the original owner's memories that Zhou Jing'an had mentioned, the scene of arguing with Zhu's eldest sister-in-law.
The original owner of the body said fiercely, "I'll never use your oxcart in my life. So what if I don't go to town!"
The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhu family retorted, "If you've got guts, then never use it in your entire life!"
As it turned out, the original owner of this body would never have the chance to use the Zhu family's oxcart again in his lifetime.
Ning Huan couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "How dare this woman from the original body provoke anyone? Was she the reincarnation of the Monkey King in her past life?"
Zhou Jing'an only heard Ning Huan whispering something, and asked curiously, "What did you say?"
"No... I didn't say anything."
Ning Huan smiled awkwardly: "I think it's been quite a while since my argument with Sister-in-law Zhu. Maybe she's just too forgetful and has already forgotten about it."
At this moment, Da Bao whispered from the side, "When Xiao Taozi came to play last time, she said that her mother is still scolding you."
Ning Huan: "..."
Zhou Jing'an: "..."
The four little dumplings: "..."
An awkward atmosphere instantly filled the dinner table. Ning Huan coughed and said, "Tomorrow, I'll go to the Zhu family tomorrow and apologize to them, won't that be enough?"
However, there is indeed a gap between ideals and reality.
Ning Huan experienced this firsthand when she was turned away at the Zhu family's house early in the morning.
Little Peach was playing happily in the yard when she saw Ning Huan and quickly said, "Auntie, you should go now. Last time you and my mother had a fight, she was so angry that she said if she saw you at the door again, she would definitely throw a bucket of dirty water on you."
This Zhu family's sister-in-law, Zhu Shi, is also a formidable character. Little Peach learned her shrewishness and domineering nature from her.
Zhu's fiery temper and sharp tongue were well-known in the village, so many people dared not argue with her.
Unfortunately, the original owner of this body was also a formidable figure, which is why she wasn't afraid of the Zhu family. The two of them argued so fiercely that it was earth-shattering.
If you ask what the reason was, it was nothing more than some trivial matters.
