"I'll do it, I'll do it!"
Seeing what his aunt and mother were carrying, he stuffed his poorly written copybook into his pocket.
Then he picked up a basket in each hand.
Whether it was Chi Qiao or Chen Xiaomai, they were already used to ordering the servants around.
In Chijia'ao, the girls are the most pampered; no matter how old they are, they are not allowed to do any work.
As for the boys, they all started doing chores from the age of three to five.
Even though everyone's vision for Chi Sen is that he will study hard and take the imperial examinations in the future.
But at home, he still has to do the chores.
It's like when someone's family is building a house, he has to take time out to help out; it's the same principle.
With their belongings taken away, Chi Qiao and Chen Xiaomai, who had essentially washed their hands of the business, said the first thing after entering the wooden enclosure:
“Your father, aunt, and second uncle are still busy on the mountain and won’t be back until later. Don’t close the gate in the wall yet.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she called out to Chen Yejun in the dim light, "Yejun, your aunt has brought fish to your house. Go and get something to put them in."
Shen Yejun stayed in Chijia'ao for a relatively long time.
The fish in the pond had already experienced good fortune.
Therefore, she was overjoyed when she heard that her aunt had sent her fish.
She liked to be near the fish in the pond, partly because of her husband, but also because of her inexplicable good fortune.
She felt that Chi Yu, this aunt, was probably a very kind person in her past life, or even the life before that.
Only in this way can one obtain extraordinary good fortune in this life.
Being close to this kind of person can only bring benefits and no harm.
She's not even married yet, but her aunt is already talking about her, which means she'll benefit from her aunt's favor in the future.
Sure enough, as soon as Chi Qiao called, she completely changed her aloof demeanor from when she was in front of Zhong Yufeng and the others, and happily went back to the kitchen to get a wooden basin to fill it.
It is said that even a minor official is above the prime minister's gate. Although Qiao was originally just the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Jinling, she is now the wife of the county magistrate in this area.
As her head maid, Chunxi also felt that her status in this mountain wilderness should be different from others.
Therefore, ever since she came to Chijia'ao, she has always maintained a haughty demeanor, except in front of Chi Yu and the second branch of the Zhong family.
She was willing to associate with Shen Yejun only because she felt that his status was slightly higher in this place.
She originally thought that Shen Yejun's posture was in line with her status.
But who would have thought that a single sentence from Chi Qiao—no, Zhou Sanya—would completely transform Shen Yejun into a different person.
Chunxi couldn't hide the surprise on her face.
When she saw Shen Yejun come out with a wooden basin to fill it, she thought for a moment and then walked over.

Because they had traveled together from Anping County, even though they hadn't shared a ride, Chi Qiao had some understanding of Chunxi.
She was even more relieved after learning today that she had chosen Liu Qingshan.
In Chi Qiao's view, Chunxi was not suitable for the sons of their Chi clan.
This girl has been by Qiao's side for so many years, perhaps she is loyal, but she hasn't learned her master's social skills.
As a servant, even though she was of good status, it was somewhat unreasonable for her to act arrogantly after choosing to marry someone from Chijia'ao.
We are all ordinary people, and there is no such thing as one being more noble than the other.
So, who is she putting on airs for?
Well, marrying Liu Qingshan is an option. After all, he has no parents or siblings, so she can act all high and mighty if she wants; it won't bother anyone!
When Chi Qiao saw Chunxi coming over, she didn't even greet her, but instead asked about Chen Yejun.
"Mr. Ye, the fish is a bit big, and there aren't many of them. I can only give you half a fish. Do you want the head or the tail?"
