Yingbao didn’t want to bring Wei Zhan home, so she suggested, “You can go to Chen Changrong’s house in West Village, or Chen Changhai’s house. You have ties with the Chen family, they won’t abandon you, they will certainly send you back to the Prefecture City.”

Wei Zhan didn’t want to go. “No, I’m not familiar with them.”

“I’m not familiar with you either, so you are not allowed to stay in the haystack behind my house.” Yingbao said sternly.

What if this boy causes any trouble while here, wouldn’t her family be inviting disaster?

Wei Zhan hung his head in dejection, stubbornly went back behind the haystack and curled up underneath it silently.

Yingbao brought her still curious little brother back home, she told Jiang

Sanlang about Wei Zhan’s situation outside, “Dad, you should take him to West Village. If that’s not feasible, give him over to Grandfather Lizheng.”

Anyway, her family can’t afford to get involved in this issue.

Who would have thought that when Jiang Sanlang went out and came back, “he stubbornly refuses to leave. He insists on sleeping in the haystack tonight.”

Wei Zhan was incredibly stubborn, neither Jiang Sanlang nor his son Jiang Cheng could manage him.

Of course, it’s also because Jiang Sanlang didn’t want to hurt him and thus didn’t use too much force.

Chungniang sighed, “Then let him stay in Chuchu’s little house for now, give him some food and water, and call the village mayor tomorrow to see what to do.”

“We have no other choice for the moment.” Jiang Sanlang shook his head helplessly.

Now that night is falling, it was not easy to travel to the town, and the boy was too stubborn to cooperate, using force would only make matters worse.

So, Jiang Sanlang served him a bowl of rice and dishes and a jar of clear water, and let Wei Zhan stay in the little house where Chuchu lived for the time being.

Wei Zhan was very pleased. He happily ran to the small house, went around in the vegetable garden a few times, pulled out a couple of vegetables, and made a pot of vegetable soup in Chuchu’s pottery.

At night, Yingbao entered the cave.

She had planted a number of seeds in the cave previously given by Lady Wen, and now they had sprouted and grown.

One of the cantaloupe seedlings had started to grow vines, and it was estimated that it would start to flower and bear fruit in a few days.

There was also a cucumber of a foreign variety that had started to shoot vines. Yingbao had made bamboo stakes for the cucumber vines to climb onto.

Various flower seeds such as roses, peonies, peonies, magnolias, etc., had all sprouted. Although they had not yet flowered, they were growing well and could be transplanted outside come spring.

She had also grown many fruit seedlings in the dark soil, including twenty vine trees and about ten loquats from the seeds given by Lady Wen.

Several seedlings of the peppercorns she had previously bought from a pharmacy had sprouted, while there were even more onions and garlic which Yingbao had long since transplanted to the vegetable garden.

The Golden Ear and Snow Ear mushrooms were also growing well and could be harvested in a few days.

There were a few large baskets of dry Golden Ear and Snow Ear mushrooms in the corner of the cave, which she had harvested and dried previously but hadn’t sold yet, just stored in the cave.

Now that Lady Wen was back, Yingbao planned to wait until the Golden Ears were harvested this time, and then sell them to her.

Standing by the pool and observing the golden light body for a while, Yingbao boarded the Gourd Boat and paddled over.

After circling the giant ball of light, she saw that small door again.

After some thought, Yingbao reached out to touch it.

In the blink of an eye, she found herself again in a thick fog.

A book gradually appeared before her, and Yingbao immediately turned to a chapter without hesitation.

“…Droves of bandits attacked and stormed the post station, killing the station soldiers, robbing the townsfolk along the way. The villagers fled in all directions, Chen Tiantian and her mother escaped by hiding in the bushes of a tomb mound.”

The County Magistrate of Zhouhe County was informed and ordered the County Magistrate to lead the soldiers to annihilate the bandits. However, the bandits were too fierce, they swarmed and beheaded the County Magistrate on his horse, the more than a hundred guards suffered heavy casualties, the rest fled back to the city…]

“…The news reached the County Government, the County Magistrate of Zhouhe County panicked and hastily ordered the city gates to be closed, and sent people to the Prefecture City for reinforcement…”

“…Chen Tiantian and her mother, Han Yueniang, fled on the road, eating and sleeping in the wind and dew, finally met with the Wei Family’s attendant and Chen Changping’s family. But Chen Tiantian’s eldest sister and third sister are missing, Chen Wan and Wei Zhan, seventh young master of the Wei Family, also disappeared…”

[ …The grief-stricken eldest son of the Wei Family ordered people to search everywhere, but all was in vain.

Seeing that it was unwise to stay any longer, he commanded his attendant to lead a few survivors away and return to the Prefecture City…]

At this point, the book turned into a paper butterfly and disintegrated.

As the book vanished, Yingbao returned to the Gourd Boat, with no trace of the small door in sight.

Yingbao rowed back to the shore.

In her past life, whether Zhouhe County had encountered bandits was unknown, but sisters Chen Wan and Chen Tiantian had certainly never disappeared.

Their disappearance during the bandit riot pointed to a grim outcome.

But then again, perhaps they could escape unscathed, like Wei Zhan.

However, many things were changing, causing Yingbao to become alert.

Events that didn’t happen in the past life were occurring now, and whether this was good or bad, she couldn’t tell.

The next day, Yingbao rose early to wash and comb. She gathered more than a dozen eggs from the chicken coop into a basket before leading Youyou out for a walk.

The chilly autumn morning made the wilting plants heavy with dew, which Youyou was not so willing to eat.

Yingbao went back to the grotto to retrieve some green bean sprouts for it, letting the little deer nibble at them leisurely.

“Yingbao!” The transformed beggar-like Wei Zhan sprinted toward her, his tousled hair bouncing as he showed his teeth in a grin, “You’re taking the deer out.”

Yingbao glanced at him irritably and grunted, “If you don’t want to go to the Chen Family, I’ll take you to Grandpa Lizheng today. He can take you to the county city. Your family has a shop there, right? Someone can take you home then.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhan’s face darkened, “I’m not going anywhere! Hmph! Don’t think you can get rid of me!”

He had finally made it here after enduring plenty of hardship on the way and could finally do as he pleased. there was no way he would return now.

Yingbao didn’t bother arguing with him. After Youyou had finished eating, she took it to the pond for a drink.

Wei Zhan stood for a while before also heading to the pond to scoop water for washing his face and mouth.

After Yingbao brought the deer back, Wei Zhan quietly followed behind, returning to the hut to prepare his own meal.

In Chuchu’s house, there was stocked rice and salt, along with a bit of pickled vegetables. Fire starters were also readily available.

Wei Zhan was busy for a good while before finally cooking up a pot of vegetable porridge. His freshly washed face was now smudged again with soot.

However, he was delighted. He dug eagerly into the porridge he had cooked, savouring every mouthful.

Just as he was eating, he looked up to see a pair of twin boys watching him.

“Is it good?” Jiang Jie swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Wei Zhan smiled complacently, “It’s delicious.”

Jiang Wu frowned at him, “Those are Sister Chuchu’s rice! You also stole vegetables from our house!”

Wei Zhan almost choked, and retorted, “Your dad allowed me to stay here, how can you call it stealing?

Jiang Wu: “But sister said that only those who work can eat our food. You didn’t work but ate our food, so it’s stealing.”

Wei Zhan’s face turned red, but that didn’t stop him from eating his porridge. He muttered, “Can’t I just work for you guys then?”

Jiang Jie’s eyes lit up at his words, “Good! Hurry up and start digging. Sister said she wants to plant lots of grapes, and the current orchard isn’t big enough.

We need to dig up more land.”

The grapes were really delicious. However, they just finished the last of them. Sister said she wanted to plant more grapes in the future. Whatever they couldn’t eat could be made into wine.

“Digging is digging!” Wei Zhan quickly finished his porridge, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and asked, “Where should I start digging? As long as they didn’t kick him out, he was okay with digging..
