Ko Mei-yu believes that many things in the world follow the same principle.
She carefully studied the relevant content of the mortal contracts, compared them with those in the cultivation world, and combined them with the differences in runes between the two worlds. Suddenly, she figured out a way to steal the sky and change the sun!
Before dawn, Old Master Ji couldn't stay in bed any longer. He got dressed, grabbed his cane, and without calling anyone, strolled around the yard.
However, after a good night's sleep, his legs and feet were much more agile, and the cold numbness in his body had subsided by about 80%. However, he had been lying in bed for more than a year, and his muscles had atrophied, so he would have to exercise little by little.
On the contrary, the rest of the Ji family members waited until dawn and half of the villagers woke up before they comfortably and contentedly opened their eyes.
Although they were unaware of the existence of the Gu worm within their bodies, the fact that their blood was being drained by it was no less than carrying a heavy burden, leaving them feeling inexplicably exhausted.
Now that they've shed their heavy outer shells, their bodies are recovering rapidly, so they naturally tend to be a bit sleepy.
Moreover, the events of yesterday had them so excited that they stayed up late, especially the couple, who couldn't resist celebrating in the most primal way.
They still don't know if the Ji family line will continue, but they have seen hope and believe that God will not be so cruel to the Ji family.
Everyone's state was completely different. The low clouds above the Ji family's house disappeared, and everyone's face was beaming with smiles. The women got up and started busy cooking, while the men were also working hard and full of energy!
The enticing aroma of food drew Ke Meiyu out of her spatial dimension.
She overworked her brain last night, and the food in her stomach had long since been digested.
She vaguely remembered that when she was a guest at the Ji family's house, she first used a Cleansing Spell before being swept into the kitchen like a tornado, where she clung to the door with a giggle and asked, "Auntie, what delicious food are you making?"
Speaking of my aunt's relatively wealthy family background in the countryside and her junior high school education, which made it easier for her to find a partner, she was simply not good enough among the daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law of the Ji family.
However, the Ji family treats their daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law equally, without favoritism. The sisters-in-law and mothers-in-law get along very well and help each other.
Over the past twenty years, my aunt has learned quite a lot, influenced by everyone else.
"They have pan-fried dumplings, chive pancakes, meat pies, sesame cakes, chicken and egg porridge, salted duck eggs, and diced pork with chili oil and fermented black beans... all delicious, and you can eat your fill!"
With each word her aunt spoke, Ke Meiyu's saliva increased.
Needless to say, Uncle Ji went to the black market last night and exchanged a lot of good things.
"Auntie, is it alright if we eat like this every meal?" Ke Meiyu has felt the warmth of home every moment since she came to the Ji family, making it impossible for her to feel polite at all.
Aunt Ji laughed and said, "Why not? Our Ji family lives at the entrance of the village, downwind, and some distance from other villagers' homes."
"Our foundation is high up. Unless someone needs something from us, who would pay attention to what we eat for three meals a day?"
"Even if someone smells it, would they know we eat like this three times a day?"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
The people in the kitchen froze for a moment, then relaxed. They weren't stealing or robbing, so why did they have to hide their meals?
Ke Meiyu ate the chive boxes with a hissing sound. The chives had a strong flavor, but the aroma of the lard, the soft and chewy vermicelli, and the distinct pieces of pork belly made it so delicious that it sent shivers down one's spine.
She peeked curiously at the courtyard gate.
It turned out to be Qi Banxian. He had a slight smile on his face and was holding a large glass jar filled with black meatballs.
"Master Qi is here! Please come in quickly. You haven't eaten yet, have you? We've prepared a lot of food at home, please have some with us!"
The Ji family warmly welcomed them in and quickly served the prepared food, giving them no chance to refuse.
Qi Banxian looked helpless, unable to refuse, so he could only pick up his chopsticks and eat with the Ji family.
He didn't forget to ask, "Why are you eating so late today?"
Ke Meiyu glanced at him. Fake, so fake. This guy is probably just waiting for the Ji family to have dinner, right?
After the meal, Qi Banxian pushed the glass bottle in front of the old man and said with a smile, "Old Master Ji, these are the herbs I picked with a kerosene lamp after I went back, and I boiled and rolled them together with dried and ground Gu worms."
"Each person takes one pill a day, for a total of ten days, to help you speed up your recovery."
The Ji family naturally thanked him again.
Qi Banxian glanced at Ke Meiyu every now and then, but the latter buried her head in her food and didn't respond to his question at all.
After dinner, Ke Meiyu, curious about her little cousin's job, smiled and said she wanted to go with her.
Her cousin, Ji Yuchen, volunteered to give her a ride on his bicycle.
Qi Banxian's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "It just so happens that I'm missing a few kinds of medicine. I'll go to town with you and find some on the black market."
"Master Qi, what do you need? Just have Chenzi bring it to you," said Old Master Ji.
"I really can't ask anyone else to do this. This medicine, like other things, can be faked. I have to select it myself, and the price fluctuates a lot. Comrade Ji Yuchen might not be able to handle it."
Ji Yanfei's face flushed slightly, her lowered eyes darted around, her fingers twirled around the ends of her hair, and her peripheral vision was fixed on Qi Banxian.
Seeing this, Ke Meiyu grinned mischievously and said, "Perfect timing, Chenchen is with Feifei, and Qi Banxian is carrying me."
Ji Yanfei's face fell without any attempt to hide it.
However, the Ji family members hesitated. Although Ke Meiyu was married, she was still a new daughter-in-law. She was so young and beautiful. Even if the two of them were behaving properly, it would be easy for people to gossip about her riding a bicycle with a man from another family.
The old man said directly, "Chenzi, you take your cousin and Xiaofei. You and Qi Banxian will ride in the same car."
The times are much more open than in the old society. It's common for female students to ride in male students' cars, and with their own older brothers and cousins watching, no one can say anything.
It's a clear double standard, but the Ji family all thinks this arrangement is quite reasonable.
Ji Yanfei's droopy eyebrows and eyes immediately became lively.
She smiled and said, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Baby Sister."
After saying that, she eagerly took the lunchbox that Ke Qingqiu handed her.
It included Ke Meiyu's bag, a heavy one that almost made Ji Yanfei fall to the ground. Ke Meiyu picked it up easily and glanced at her, saying, "Feifei, you sit and write letters all day and don't get enough exercise. You're too weak. You can't even carry something this light?"
Ji Yanfei choked. She had been cycling for an hour every day, so was this level of exercise enough?
Qi Banxian couldn't help but smile. The Ji family members were all shrewd and capable, but the girls were well protected by their families and had retained their innocence and naivety.
