"Hey, get up, get up, hurry up and leave. Don't wait for the villagers to come and kick you out, that would be so embarrassing!" As soon as she entered the house, Anle immediately pulled off the blanket.
Yu Rong glanced at An Le; he had heard everything they were saying outside.
Although he was a potential problem, and there was a possibility that he would be discovered, in that person's eyes, he was now a dead man who could no longer speak.
They will no longer receive any attention from anyone.
If they simply live peacefully here, as ordinary citizens, they won't cause them any trouble.
He has nowhere to go now, and he doesn't know what to do next.
Yu Rong grabbed An Le's mischievous little hand and stared at An Le for two seconds.
scare!
"What are you doing?" Anle tried to pull her hand away, but the other person was too strong and she couldn't get it out. So Anle obediently stopped struggling.
"Let go!"
Goodness, a patient who almost died woke up with such strength? What did he eat to grow up like that?
"I will walk, give me an hour." His body was still somewhat stiff and numb, and he couldn't move his legs at all.
"Ah? Oh." Hearing Yu Rong say that, An Le's expression softened, and she stopped trying to shoo him away.
They didn't say they weren't leaving, so she couldn't rush them away.
At the dinner table, Anle chewed on the quietly stewed chicken, as if chewing wax.
This is awful. Why is the meat so tough?
It's so dry!
I can't eat!
This is chicken that lacks flavor and is only stewed with salt. It tastes awful, and she would never eat a second bite of this chicken again.
Otherwise, I'll feel nauseous whenever I see chicken.
Seeing Ankang happily munching on his food, Anle handed him the chicken leg.
"Here, little brother, you can have this chicken leg too."
An Ning grinned.
"Little sister, that's yours. I already have one here!"
"Uh, he's still growing, so he should eat more." Anle forced a smile, looking like she was about to cry. She really couldn't eat this stuff.
At that moment, she understood the importance of spices.
"Little sister, when is this person leaving?" An Ning whispered to An Le, leaning closer to her ear.
Anle stared lazily at the small bowl of meat on the four-legged table, finding no appetite whatsoever.
"He'll leave after he finishes eating. He's been poisoned by snake venom, so he'll probably be unable to move around for a while. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't." As she spoke, she pointed to the meat in the basin.
"Um... Fourth Sister, is this meat delicious?"
An Ning nodded vigorously.
"It's delicious!"
"I don't think our little sister has much of an appetite?" An Yi, who was struggling with chicken feet, finally looked up and glanced at An Le.
"Ugh, I don't think this meat tastes good."
An Yi slammed her hand on the table and glared at An Le.
"This meat smells so good, how could it not taste good?"
Little sister, did you hit your head and make it stupid?
Why don't they even want to touch meat anymore?
Anle pouted and retorted.
"No, even if you don't add other seasonings, you should at least add some scallions or ginger to enhance the flavor, right?"
"We've already finished all the green onions at home, and as for ginger, my mother is as stingy as a miser, she can't bear to buy any."
"But what other seasonings can we add?" An Yi stared at An Le with wide, curious eyes.
"Hmm... for example, small red chilies, white sugar, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, and cooking wine, etc., to remove the fishy smell, add some caramel color, and enhance the aroma of the meat."
"Never heard of it, do you know it, Third Sister?" An Yi asked, looking at An Ning with a blank expression.
An Ning raised her chin. "I do know about sugar and alcohol."
Anjing looked at Anle with a blank expression, "It seems like my little sister knows more than we do. What are these flowers?"
I've never heard of this before. Is it some newfangled thing that's appeared in town?
“Uh—” Anle’s lips stiffened slightly. How was he supposed to explain this?
Does this mean there aren't even any peppercorns or star anise here?
What an era of food scarcity!
No, it's also possible that her older siblings just don't know, after all, they live in such poverty, with nothing at all.
Perhaps I'm just ignorant.
She'll have to find out more about this another day!
"Let's not talk about that. Um... has An Manyi's marriage been settled?"
"Yes, yes, it's settled. When I went in to pick up my little brother, I overheard them setting a date. It's set for the beginning of next month. They decided on it right away."
When An Ning talked about An Manyi's marriage, her face was full of amusement.
"You have no idea how eager that family was to get her, as if they were afraid that my aunt would change her mind and run away!"
Wow, I never knew someone like my aunt could be so sought after! I've really learned something new!
An Yi grinned, "Hey, that's really strange. With such good family conditions, what kind of girl couldn't you find? Why did you take a fancy to our aunt?"
An Ning nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I was wondering about that too."
Anle blinked. "The beginning of the month?"
"So, how much money should our family give as a wedding gift for An Manyi's wedding?" What she cared about wasn't when An Manyi would get married, but how much money her family should give as a wedding gift.
She's in dire need of money right now, and she's very short on cash. She doesn't want to give them a single penny more, and she certainly doesn't want that family to freeload off her.
