Looking at the three people in front of her, Wang Yitong knew she wouldn't get any information out of them today, so she relaxed her tense face and said, "Yingbao, Mingchen, Zilin, come with your mother (Third Aunt) to have dinner."
“Yes,” Zilin nodded upon hearing his third aunt’s words.
Yingbao smiled and replied immediately, "Okay, Mother."
Ye Mingchen replied without hesitation, "Mom, let's hurry up and go, I'm starving."
"You...you..." Wang Yitong really wanted to say, "Are you a reincarnated starving ghost?" But considering that she had made her son cry once while cooking, she thought better of it and decided not to say it for now.
The words that were about to be spoken were swallowed back down, leaving Wang Yitong with a bittersweet feeling.
Thankfully, Xiao Mingchen doesn't have mind-reading abilities and doesn't know what his mother is thinking, otherwise he would be crying again.
...
At the dinner table, Ye Mingchen kept eating without saying a word. Wang Yitong had gotten used to his hungry, predatory manner and stopped saying anything.
"Ah... Third Aunt, it's so delicious!" Ye Zilin let out a squeal like a groundhog.
After eating it, Yingbao thought it was quite delicious, but instead of letting out the same scream as Zilin, she said from the bottom of her heart, "Mommy, it's so good to have you."
Wang Yitong nodded with satisfaction. The food she made herself received unanimous praise from her family, which made her feel very content.
For a moment, the four of them stopped talking and began to attack the pork crackling pancakes, sweet potato and millet porridge, and steamed egg custard.
...
To find out what Yingbao, Zilin, and Xiaomingchen were whispering about, we have to go back to after Ye Mingchen and Ye Zilin had their playful fight.
After playing around for a while, Ye Mingchen suddenly said, "Zilin, stop fooling around and hurry up and wash up. Let's go find Yingbao and eat pork cracklings together."
Ye Zilin nodded obediently and picked up the basin, which was the "wake-up water" that Xiao Mingchen had given him when he couldn't wake up.
Xiao Zilin left the house but didn't go to the usual washroom. Instead, he went to the backyard to pour water and water the vegetables before filling a basin with hot and cold water, adjusting it to the perfect temperature, and then began washing.
After washing up, the two of them carried a bowl of pork cracklings and went to the outer room together. By then, Yingbao had already opened her eyes and was dressed. However, she didn't get out of bed but lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), resting her chin on her hand, deep in thought and sighing.
She had a dream in which her master said to her: "Ye Ying is her, yet not her. He also said that the destined person is about to appear. It's a blessing or a curse, neither a blessing nor a curse."
What does that mean?
They didn't explain it clearly.
This made her a little confused.
As soon as Xiao Mingchen and Xiao Zilin entered the room, they saw Yingbao looking lost in thought. The two of them immediately ran to Ye Ying's side like little knights and asked, "Yingbao, what's wrong?"
Yingbao couldn't very well tell Xiao Ge and Zilin Ge that she had a rather unpleasant dream.
So she immediately remembered that she had come up into the mountains empty-handed last time and that it was too difficult to catch a rabbit. So she tricked Xiao Ge and Zi Lin into coming up the mountain together to see what was going on.
Alternatively, the young man could be used as bait to see if the wild animals would take the bait. Otherwise, she wants to raise rabbits; rabbits are so cute, but when will she be able to make spicy rabbit heads?
Yingbao pondered the possibility of this matter, and the more she thought about it, the more reliable it seemed. Then she began her performance.
