"I think you've forgotten whose job you're doing. Anyone who didn't know better would think you're her maid!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Kai's first reaction wasn't nervousness...
After thinking about it, it's not unacceptable.
Meng is smart and capable. The villagers helped build her house, and the food was delicious!
Following Miss Meng, living a life of luxury isn't out of the question!
But he suppressed his urge to smile, not daring to show it.
Ruan Meng squinted at the person who spoke. He had a rather handsome face, but why did he have such a mouth?!
Although his words were sarcastic, Ruan Meng could tell that Sun Chengen's mood had calmed down considerably. After all, she still needed his help tomorrow, so she didn't engage in a verbal battle with him.
Otherwise, shut him down!
Ruan Meng and Xiao Kai got off the carriage and boarded Liu Jie's carriage, finally returning safely to Fengjia Village.
Xiao Kai had originally made two preparations: if Ruan Meng was still missing by later, he would have Liu Jie go to Fengjia Village to report the news. However, it wasn't too late now, so he didn't notify her in advance.
I had assumed that the family's banquet for the villagers had already begun...
Unexpectedly, when the carriage arrived, the villagers were chatting and laughing, gathered at the door of Ruan Meng's new house.
Upon seeing Ruan Meng alight from the carriage, everyone rushed to greet her.
"Everyone's waiting for the girl, worried something might happen..."
"Yes! The eldest young master originally said that we should eat first, but how could that be? These past few days, our little sister has spoiled us, and we just want her cooking!"
......
After spending a few days together, those in the village who were not familiar with Ruan Meng called her "Miss," while those who were slightly more familiar with her called her "Little Sister," just like Sister-in-law Feng and Sister-in-law Feng Er, which made them much closer.
Hearing the sound of the carriage, Ruan Qian and the others also came up.
The elder sister-in-law was very worried and carefully examined Ruan Meng.
"Why did you take so long? Your older brother and I were so worried!"
The elder brother originally wanted to ask as well, but when he saw Sun Cheng get off the carriage, he let go of his sister and greeted her on her behalf, welcoming Sun Chengen and the others inside.
The second and third brothers surrounded Ruan Meng, but before they could say anything, they saw Xiao Kai and A Yuan carrying things and quickly went to help.
I learned that my sister-in-law had cooked wild vegetable porridge with the leftover millet from home, and that all the wild mushrooms she had picked that morning had been thoroughly cleaned but hadn't been cooked yet...
Ruan Meng rolled up her sleeves and asked her second brother to bring in the groceries and the house she had bought.
With her sister-in-law helping to tidy up, Ruan Meng prepared to kill the chicken.
"Little sister, put it down! Brother will do it!"
The second son held a cleaver, staring blankly at the live chicken on the ground.
"Second Young Master, how about I do it?"
Xiao Kai was already familiar with the second son's character; his heart was good, but his courage was not up to par.
"Brother Xiaokai, take a break, let me do it!"
The third brother took the kitchen knife from his second brother, saying, "I have to learn how to do it!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest sister-in-law took a chicken with a smaller kitchen knife, suppressed her discomfort, and bled the old hen.
Xiao Kai looked at his sister-in-law and couldn't help but feel respect. No wonder Miss Meng was so magnanimous; it turned out that his sister-in-law was the same. Such was the family's tradition!
The second son, quick to notice, immediately boiled water to scald the chicken feathers.
Sister-in-law Feng and Sister-in-law Feng returned home midway. Hearing that Ruan Meng had returned and was starting to cook, they quickly came down to help.
The Song and Fan families just moved into their new homes today and need to tidy up and clean. Before Ruan Meng returned, the eldest sister-in-law declined their help.
Ruan Qian was worried that Sun Chengen was not used to the liveliness of the villagers, so he invited Sun Chengen and A Yuan to an empty room so that they could rest for a while.
Ruan Qian learned from A Yuan that the group had arranged for his sister to travel with them by boat early that morning to examine Sun Chengen's sister...
Immediately showing a worried expression, Sun Chengen recalled what Xiao Kai had mentioned earlier about Ruan Meng falling into the water.
“Brother Ruan, the He family merchant ships I’ve called are newer and more reliable than the official ships you used to land on the island last time.”
"The crew on board are all experienced veterans, and I will also bring some guards. It's very safe, Young Master, please rest assured."
Ruan Qian's expression didn't improve at all. Even though he wasn't worried about her falling into the sea, his sister wasn't used to seawater, and seasickness alone was making her uncomfortable...
But since it was his sister's consent, Ruan Qian couldn't refuse rashly, especially after learning that Sun Chengen had made many arrangements, including those concerning the safety of his sister.
Ruan Qian went to the kitchen in the backyard, where Ruan Meng was waiting for the water to boil and cleaning the chicken feathers...
Ruan Qian's voice was grave, "Little sister, come out for a moment..."
