Ji Qin felt a little jealous. Her son was still waiting for a wife, but her father had already found someone else.
He did feel sorry for his father, but he felt even more sorry for himself.
Although his stepmother treated him well, he still wanted his wife to treat him better.
"Alright," Ji Quan said, feeling a slight pain in his tooth. "I'm going to ask my aunt. I don't want to talk to you."
My liver hurts!
Neither of these two, father and son, are quite mentally sound.
If you make him call Shi Niu Niang, even if it's a later name, he'll have a psychological trauma.
When Ji Quan arrived, Jiang Nuan was packing her things.
"Auntie," Ji Quan said awkwardly, rubbing his hands together. "I need your help with something."
"What is it?" Jiang Nuan continued what she was doing, but her tone was very gentle. "Tell me."
"I'd like to ask if Jijia Village could send some people to help repair the official road."
“Well,” Jiang Nuan looked up, her eyes questioning Lai Zi, and immediately agreed when she saw him turn around, “It’s fine, just don’t make a fuss.”
"Thank you, Auntie," Ji Quan said, bowing deeply with emotion. "I will repay your great kindness with my whole life."
“It’s not that serious,” Jiang Nuan said, somewhat speechless. She didn’t think she had done anything wrong. “It was nothing, you don’t need to worry about it.”
"Auntie, thank you so much," Ji Quan said, his eyes a little red. "You are a benefactor to our Ji Family Village. If there is anything we can do to help you, just ask. No one will refuse."
After Ji Quan finished speaking, he immediately ran away.
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to control his tears.
"How did it go? What did your aunt say?" Ji Qin asked as soon as Ji Quan returned. "Is it okay?"
“Okay,” Ji Quan nodded, then instructed, “Don’t make a fuss about it. This is against the rules, and we can’t cause trouble for Auntie and the foreman.”
Jiang Nuan didn't hear these comforting words. After packing her things, the group headed straight home.
Xiao Liu, who often receives special treatment, has become increasingly robust lately, with glossy fur and a more and more steady gait.
“Mother, eggs are really a good thing,” Huang Lao Er sighed. “Our Xiao Liu is growing better and better.”
He always felt that Xiao Liu was getting stronger and stronger. Even though it was carrying more and more things, it felt easier and easier for it.
Moreover, it's incredibly clever, almost as clever as the goose at home that's practically become a spirit, so there's no need to worry about it being stolen.
“Of course,” Xie said with a pained expression. “Our sixth son eats better than everyone else. He has eggs, bean flour, and bone meal. I wish I could turn into a cow.”
Fortunately, she hasn't gained much weight, otherwise, she would have been tempted to kill a cow and eat it.
However, because of this, although her two cows worked every day, they didn't get sick from the exhaustion, so it seems they were somewhat useful.
"Little Liu works so hard, doesn't he deserve some good food?" Jiang Nuan's lips twitched. "Making the ox work but not giving it any good food, that's not how you oppress an ox."
If I hadn't secretly fed him a little something, that little bit wouldn't have been enough to cover his usual energy expenditure.
“No,” Huang Lao Er muttered softly, “Every cow eats grass, but our Xiao Liu is getting more and more picky and only eats these good things. The amount of energy it consumes is equivalent to that of all of us brothers.”
"You're really something," Jiang Nuan said, both amused and exasperated. "Such a grown man, arguing with a cow. Xiao Liu has been working since he came to our family and hasn't had a single good day. Don't you feel guilty saying that?"
