"Don't rush."
Mingyue lifted her foot and erased the words she had just written. Holding her feather fan, she wrote and read the sixteen words aloud as she went. "Read them a few more times as I write them. Come find me when you can read them smoothly."
"Okay, sister."
He Caisheng squatted on the ground, his lips moving up and down, repeatedly reciting what Mingyue had said.
Mingyue got up and went to the kitchen. He Nian happened to bring out a plate of chicken. "Miss Mingyue, please wash your hands and get ready to eat. Please sit in the main hall and I will bring it to you."
"This is troublesome."
Mingyue obediently scooped up a ladle of water to wash her hands, then went to the main hall and calmly found a chair to sit down.
He Nian placed the chicken on the side of the bright moon, and then went to the kitchen to bring out the cooked mushrooms and fried tofu. She was generous with the amount of oil she used when cooking, and every dish looked delicious and appetizing.
He Ruyi also brought the baked flatbread to He Nian, and He Nian then served four bowls of rice and set them out. "Caisheng, wash your hands and eat. What are you still squatting outside for?"
"They're here!"
He Caisheng responded, quickly washed his hands, ran to the front hall, and found a seat near Mingyue Jin.
Once everyone was seated, He Caisheng immediately placed a chicken leg on Mingyue's plate, a fawning smile on his face. "Sister, you eat first, then I'll eat!"
He Nian was shocked when her chopsticks clicked and fell to the ground.
What's going on?
Her cunning little brother actually offered a chicken leg to an outsider.
He Caisheng then noticed that something was wrong with He Nian, and his little face became serious. "Big sister, I've decided that I will serve you from now on, and I will study and learn to read to go to the capital to earn money!"
"...A good ambition."
So that's how it is. She said that her younger brother had been staying outside the whole time, and hadn't even come into the kitchen to try a piece of the roast chicken.
He Nian smiled apologetically at Mingyue, "I'm so sorry to trouble you, Miss Mingyue. If you want to eat anything in the future, just ask me and I'll make it and send it to you."
"No problem, I'll have Guard Lin deliver the vegetables every day from now on, and you can cook them as you see fit."
"Alright!"
The meal was enjoyed by everyone in a harmonious atmosphere when suddenly a shout came from outside the door, "Hey little girl, are you eating? What are you eating that smells so good?"
He Nian's joy faded, but she couldn't keep a cold face and forced a smile at Mingyue. "Miss Mingyue, please continue eating. I'll go out and take a look."
It must be her awful grandmother again, bringing her eldest uncle's youngest son to find her. When she transmigrated and received her memories, the thing she was most grateful for was that her parents had passed away.
From the original owner's memories, she felt that the original owner had lived a very stifled life. Her father was the eldest son in the family, but he was not favored in the He family and was also particularly blindly filial, giving all the food and supplies to her grandfather's family.
As a result, Mr. and Mrs. He never had enough to eat. One day, while working in the fields, they fainted from hunger and their heads hit a rock, killing them instantly.
Afterwards, the original owner of this body was so frightened that she developed a high fever. The first thing she did while forcing herself to stay healthy was to separate from the family.
The He family members were shrewd enough to see that the three of them were just children who couldn't do any work and ate a lot, so dividing the family property would be easy.
So, she and her younger siblings lived in a small house at the foot of the mountain with the village chief as their witness. The beginning was the hardest, but things gradually got better.
Unexpectedly, what did the He family, who had never visited before, want this time?
He Nian's mind raced, and she quickly figured out the reason. It seemed that the news of Mingyue staying at her house had spread throughout the village, and she probably wanted to see if there was any opportunity to take advantage of her.
Grandma He couldn't help but swallow as she smelled the delicious aroma of chicken in the air. "That brat!" she thought. "She cooked chicken and didn't even think to send some to them. She's not as filial as her eldest son!"
