Anle Lu cowered and covered her head, no longer daring to argue.
She could put up a fight against the old woman's physique, but she didn't have the strength to fight against her second brother, a boy who was only half a child.
Suddenly, it looked at An Ding with a pitiful, docile expression, like a lapdog.
Seeing that look, An Ding immediately lost his temper and sighed helplessly again.
"How will you ever get married if you grow up like this? You've ruined your own reputation, and you'll only cause your parents more worry in the future."
Anle was sweating profusely: "..." This little body is so small, and she's already thinking about whether she'll be able to get married in the future? Are people in this era all so precocious?
Anle, who should have received a beating, was spared. However, the elderly couple from the An family, who already disliked the second son's family, became even more disgusted with them.
Every day when Qiao Qiuniang went to cook for the elderly couple, she would inevitably be scolded. Fortunately, she had long been used to being scolded by her mother-in-law.
Anle followed Anyi and Anning, the two siblings, and frequently went up the mountain. Every day, they would happily pick wild rice and bamboo shoots, and bring back a basketful of wild vegetables to make wild vegetable pancakes at home.
After eating wild vegetable pancakes for half a month, Anle felt like vomiting at the sight of them. She secretly vowed that once things got better, she would absolutely forbid any more of these things from appearing in her house to dazzle her eyes, as they were making her eyes and stomach hurt.
Half a month after coming into this world, Anle finally met the rumored aunt.
It was a fine day with a gentle breeze. Anle was sitting in the yard, basking in the sun, carrying a wooden stump.
Anning sat in the courtyard picking wild vegetables.
Occasionally, a rooster crows, creating a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere in the farmhouse courtyard.
An Manyi, the fourth son of the An family, dressed in a flamboyant manner, with a colorful mini feather duster stuck in his head, wearing a red top and green skirt, swaying his waist, raising his chin, and walking proudly to the outside of the courtyard fence.
Glancing at the chicken droppings scattered everywhere, leaving no room to step, An Manyi, in a high-pitched, delicate voice, mimicking the manners of a young lady from a wealthy family, disdainfully waved her handkerchief over her mouth and nose, and frowned as she spoke.
"Why doesn't anyone clean up this chicken droppings? It's so filthy, how am I supposed to go in here?"
Anle glanced over upon hearing the sound and chuckled. "Wow, what a big, lively wild hen, all brightly colored and lively! It's even more eye-catching than a peacock!"
No, it was a slip of the tongue. She took back what she said. It was eye-catching, not just shocking!
An Ning glanced at An Manyi, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard and hadn't come in, and scoffed.
"Auntie, when you were eating eggs that came out of chicken butts, you didn't think they were dirty, did you?" After saying that, she continued to pick vegetables with her head down.
Anle turned to look at Anning and saw that she didn't have any special reaction. It was obvious that she was already used to An Manyi's exaggerated outfit.
Is this person dressed like a wild hen the legendary little aunt?
Actually, I heard from my older siblings that my aunt has been back for three days now, and she hasn't gone to her grandparents' house to see them. She feels disgusted just looking at the old couple, so she tries to avoid them as much as possible. It's better to have peace and quiet for both her eyes and ears.
I never expected that this aunt would be... well, like this.
Judging by her attire, she doesn't have the air of a well-bred young lady at all. She looks like a wild, incongruous chicken.
Although she was a village girl, her clothes were definitely much better than patched and burlap clothes; they were so bright and shiny, they were truly 'dazzling'.
An Manyi, unusually in a good mood, refrained from touching An Ning, ignoring her sarcastic remarks, and gave orders.
"Hurry up, go and get all the eggs. I haven't been back for a while, so I must have accumulated quite a few eggs. In a few days, your aunt will be getting engaged, so I need to nourish myself properly and look my best when I meet my future husband."
"Hmph, which of the eggs laid by those chickens you raise wasn't eaten by you?"
Although the chicken was raised by their family, none of them got to eat a single bite; it all ended up in the mouths of their grandparents and aunt.
He glanced at An Manyi's broad shoulders and thick waist, wondering if she had a healthy complexion.
With it like this, why would it need nurturing? Why would it need supplements? The supplements have probably already gone too far.
An Manyi glared at An Ning impatiently, "Alright, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and get the bag out of here. This yard smells like cow dung and chicken droppings, it stinks so badly that it's unbearable to stay here!"
An Ning didn't say anything more, got up and went inside, and brought out the half basket of eggs.
Hearing this brief exchange between the aunt and niece, Anle stood up, stepped in front of Anning, and spoke with a smile.
"Fourth Sister, are these chickens raised by us?"
An Ning was taken aback.
"yes."
"This egg, once laid, should be divided among the whole family, right?"
“This—” An Ning’s expression froze, and she was speechless.
Although her family should have a share of the eggs since they haven't divided the family property yet, and it should belong to everyone, her grandmother would definitely complain if her family took them.
Seeing An Ning's stiff expression and inability to speak, An Le's smile turned somewhat gloomy.
"I've noticed that my little brother has been eyeing these eggs for a long time. He spends all day running around the henhouse, watching the chickens lay eggs."
Moreover, our little brother's complexion looks sallow and yellowish, which is really unpleasant. If we need to nourish him, we all need to do it together!
Since the aunt has taken some tonics, the nephew must take good care of himself too. And since it's all for everyone, let's leave some for our family as well!
Anle spoke slowly and deliberately, reaching into the egg basket and starting to pick out eggs.
Since she can't take out the things from her system space to satisfy the little guy's cravings, she can at least take out something that everyone can see and share with him, right?
That little guy is only four years old; it's the age when he most needs extra nutrition.
An Manyi let out a shrill scream, getting agitated.
"What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat? What would a little kid like you eat eggs? You dare to try and steal my eggs?"
Seeing Anle take out ten eggs in a row, An Manyi, disregarding the chicken droppings in the yard soiling her embroidered shoes, pounced on the basket of eggs in Anning's hand—
"You bastard, put the eggs down right now!"
"Little aunt, take it easy. If you pounce on me, all the eggs will break, and you won't get a single one." Anle gave An Manyi a sinister sneer, her smile both sinister and malicious.
"Put all the eggs back, or I'll beat you to death, you little brat!"
Ignoring the warning, An Manyi, with a gloomy face, was about to slap An Le—
Anle raised her hand to cover her head, deliberately letting the two eggs slip from her hand and shatter on the ground.
