Chapter 3 They ended up sleeping together.
The curtain was lifted, and a slender figure appeared in the doorway.
She was a little girl of about ten years old, with delicate features, fair skin, and wearing a faded patched dress.
Ye Wan was startled, but quickly regained her composure.
The maid at the door looked at Ye Wan with a serious expression and said, "If you want to run away, I advise you to give up that idea. This place is surrounded by mountains. If a weak woman like you runs away, you will only die."
"Who's trying to run away? I'm just hungry." Ye Wan said weakly as she sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). She had been jumping around so happily that she only felt hungry now.
He thought to himself that although the girl was young, she was quite clever and had seen through his thoughts at a glance.
"Big sister, dinner's ready!" Sanya's cheerful voice rang out from outside.
Daya looked at Ye Wan and said, "I'll go get you some food."
"No need, I'll go out and eat with you."
Ye Wan took fever-reducing medicine and also drank some spring water. Now she felt much clearer-headed.
She went out to scout out the situation so she could make her next move.
It wasn't completely dark in the yard yet.
A table and two long benches were placed in front of the third earthen house.
Lin Anyuan and Er Ya and San Ya had already sat down, with a bowl in front of them.
Seeing Ye Wan come out, Lin Anyuan raised an eyebrow and said, "This ginger soup really works. She can walk again now. It's definitely worth it."
Ye Wan didn't say anything, but sat down under the watchful eyes of the others. When she looked down at the greenish soup in the bowl, her eyes widened.
Is this food?
Good heavens, she didn't even eat this badly in the apocalypse.
Lin Anyuan had already finished drinking the bowl in one gulp and said, "You all lock the door at home, I'm going out for a bit."
Daya frowned and said in a low voice, "Father, do you want to steal chickens from Master Liu's house? If you get caught by Master Liu's servants, they'll beat you to death."
"Pfft...cough cough cough."
Ye Wan almost choked. Seeing the gazes around her, she quickly lowered her head, picked up the bowl, and took a sip, only to find her mouth tasted bitter.
How could someone who looks like that do such petty theft?!
Lin Anyuan's face darkened. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm going to hunt pheasants to help your mother recover so she can breastfeed Sanya. The doctor said that Sanya has never had milk before, and her mother was also deprived in the womb, which is why she is prone to illness."
Er Ya, standing to the side, curled her lip and glared at Ye Wan with her upturned eyes, "She's at most a wet nurse, and wet nurses are servants too."
Ye Wan: ...
You wet nurse my foot!
Lin Anyuan instructed the three maids to keep a close eye on Ye Wan, then picked up a straw hat from the wall and went out.
As Ye Wan watched his figure disappear, a thought formed in her mind: with this man not around tonight, it would be the perfect time for her to leave.
After eating, he made an excuse that he felt dizzy and went back to his room to lie down.
Sanya ran in, but Erya dragged her away, cursing and swearing.
Ye Wan lay with her head covered for a while, ate some wild vegetable porridge, but still felt very hungry.
After estimating that two or three hours had passed and hearing that there was no more noise outside, Ye Wan flashed into the space.
Upon entering, I was so surprised that my mouth dropped open. The saplings I had planted earlier had grown into trees over a meter tall in such a short time, and they had even blossomed.
"It's a pear tree! Grow quickly and bear pears, I'm starving!"
A bowl of wild vegetable porridge was no use at all. Ye Wan was so hungry that she drank spring water and watered the pear tree.
No sooner had he finished speaking than pears appeared on the tree and ripened quickly.
Ye Wan blinked, looking like she was about to cry, "God, are you kidding me!"
If her spatial abilities were this powerful during the apocalypse, she would be a national treasure! Countless superhumans would be protecting her; how could she possibly die?
She reached out and picked a pear, took a bite, and found it so soft, sweet, and juicy that her eyes narrowed in delight.
"Bang bang bang!"
Who are you?!
Just as they finished eating and drinking, there was a knock on the door and Daya's voice.
Old Mrs. Qian and Ye Yaozu, covered in dirt, finally managed to find their way to the door.
Old Mrs. Qian forced a smile, "Is this Lin Anyuan's family? The person he bought today is my daughter. I won't sell her anymore. I'll return the money to you, but I'm taking her with me."
"Oh, you've already sold them off, they're now our servants, why are you going back on your word?" Er Ya came out yawning, her tone sarcastic.
When Old Lady Qian arrived, she had already prepared her explanation. She wiped her eyes in a feigned manner and said, "I was confused at the time. After all, she is my own daughter, and I can't bear to part with her. I will return the money, but I will take my daughter with me, along with her indenture."
Fifty taels of silver! They were determined to send the person to Zhang Fu's house no matter what!
Daya frowned and said with a serious face, "My father has already retired for the night. We can talk about it when he wakes up tomorrow."
"What?! They're already sleeping together?!"
Old Mrs. Qian was furious when she heard this.
If this brat loses her virginity, will Zhang Fuhu still give her fifty taels?
"This little girl is quite good at lying. Lin Anyuan isn't home, is he?" Ye Yaozu's eyes darted around, and he walked into the yard with a lewd look on his face.
Lin Anyuan actually raised three money-losing animals, which are quite good-looking. He probably plans to sell them when they grow up.
Daya's face turned cold. "I told you, my father is already asleep. If you wake him up, he has a bad temper."
Ye Yaozu wasn't stupid; if he were home, he would have come out long ago. He pushed Da Ya aside and barged inside.
"Get out of my house! You look like a shifty-eyed scoundrel, you think you can just take someone away after saying a few words? My father paid a tael of silver for this..."
Er Ya picked up a machete from behind the door and stood in front of Ye Yaozu, cursing and swearing.
Fearing that Lin Anyuan would return and retaliate, Old Lady Qian grabbed her son who was trying to rush inside, saying, "Fine, I'll grit my teeth and take the loss. I'll give you one and a half taels of silver, and I'll take the person with me. I won't sell him no matter what."
Er Ya's eyes lit up when she heard this.
He hurriedly whispered, "Elder sister, half a tael of silver is enough for our whole family to eat meat."
Make an extra half tael by reselling! What a bargain!
Ye Yaozu thought about the fifty taels, so he didn't care about the extra half tael. He shouted into the house, "Ye Wan, you slut, hurry up and give me the money... Ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, a scream rang out.
A clod of dirt landed precisely on his mouth.
"What's with the dog barking in the middle of the night!"
Ye Wan came out of the house, patted the dirt off her hands, and gave herself a thumbs up for her aim.
"You little slut, you've gone too far! You dare hit your brother? Fine, I won't hold it against you. I'll take you to Zhang Fu's house to eat and drink like royalty. You'll starve to death if you stay here in this poor house!"
Old Mrs. Qian was furious, but she held back for the sake of the fifty taels of silver and immediately came to pull Ye Wan away.
If she weren't afraid of disfiguring the woman, she would have definitely beaten that slut.
Da Ya said, "No, she's my father's woman now, you can't take her away!"
Sanya ran barefoot out of the house and blocked Ye Yaozu's way, shouting, "You can't take my mother away! She's my mother!"
Old Mrs. Qian shoved Sanya, "You brat, get out of my way! It's only right that I take my daughter with me!"
"You old hag, I really thought you cared about your daughter? Turns out you were planning to sell her again. I've never seen such a heartless mother! Bah! Get out of my house right now!"
Er Ya also shoved Old Lady Qian, cursing and swearing.
Ye Wan looked at the three little girls blocking her way, somewhat surprised.
Just then, a fierce glint flashed in Ye Yaozu's eyes, and he suddenly kicked Sanya, who was closest to him.
"Sanya!"
