At this moment, Xue Yan appeared at the gate of the courtyard again, but the two sticks of candy were gone. Seeing her sitting on the threshold, Xue Yan walked over and sat with her.

“I gave it to my uncle’s grandsons, Dabao and Xiaobao.” He said to her, knowing that she was curious about that.

Jiang Yue nodded without saying anything.

“Today…” He opened his mouth again and wanted to say something, but he stopped.

Jiang Yue tilted her head and looked at him.

He even coughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed.

“I didn’t cry.” She said.

“I see.” He coughed even harder. After a long time, he laughed as if he was trying to find a topic to talk about, “That’s good, that’s good.”

Jiang Yue only looked at him. It was only when Xue Yan felt uncomfortable that Jiang Yue asked, “How many other weird relatives do we have?”

Her voice wasn’t loud enough for Xue Dafu and the others to hear, but it was loud enough for Xue Yan to hear.

Why did she suddenly ask this question? Xue Yan knew without a doubt that she was talking about Zhang Meili who shamelessly asked for a share of the money.

Xue Yan also said in a low voice, “I can handle them all. I won’t let my family suffer.”

All?

Jiang Yue immediately caught the main point. She felt that this weirdo must have a lot of relatives, and Zhang Meili was definitely not the only one. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used the word all. Although they had not known each other for long, she could tell that he had always been careful with his words.

Jiang Yue didn’t say much and only said indifferently, “Don’t forget, you still have me.”

She could handle them all too.

Xue Yan nodded with a smile, “Yes, I still have you.” She was also a part of this family. He would not forget.

By the time the meat was done, the sky had already turned dark.

The meat was scooped out from the pot, filling two large bowls.

Xue Dafu immediately had Xue Wufu personally bring a large bowl of meat and five silver of silver to Xue Da with two fat white buns.

Xue Wufu limped away, accompanied by Xue Yan, but Xue Da refused to take the silver, only taking the meat and steamed buns.

Xue Da was overjoyed that his grandson was so filial.

Xue Wufu had no choice but to take back the five silver and give them to Liu Guixia for safekeeping.

“It’s time to eat, everyone.”

It was already dark, and it was rare for the family to light up an oil lamp in the central room and prepare for dinner.

The light from the oil lamp illuminated the entire central room, making it look like dusk.

On the table, the large bowl of meat looked delicious. Of course, that was because it was rare to see such meals on the table.

The meat’s fragrance wasn’t too obvious, probably due to the lack of seasoning. However, only Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were the ones thinking that.

“Ah, it smells so good!” Xue Wufu sniffed it first, looking as if it was extremely fragrant.

Jiang Yue looked at him and suspected that he didn’t smell the fragrance at all. It was just that he hadn’t eaten meat for a long time, so he felt that it was fragrant just by looking at it.

Xue Wufu exaggeratedly sniffed it again before putting it down.

“Come, come, come, Jiang Yue.” Liu Guixia put two pieces of meat into her bowl.

The meat was thick and her bowl was small. When the two pieces of fatty meat were placed in her bowl, it almost covered the rice at the bottom.

“T-that’s too much,” Jiang Yue said after a moment of silence.

“It’s only two pieces, what’s so much about it? Jiang Yue, don’t be shy. There’s so much meat at home today. Everyone can eat a few pieces. There’s no need to be shy. Eat quickly. When you’re done, come back and get more.”

Seeing that Liu Guixia didn’t believe her and thought that she was being too sensible, Jiang Yue kept silent for a while. Then, she decided it was not worth the fight and sat down.
