"Dad!" Shen Tang's sharp voice rang out from the room. The village chief glanced at Shen Tang, and Shen Tang became more honest with frustration.

"Dad, my daughter fell in love with Xiao Yihao, but you refused to let me marry him. Now Xiao Yihao is living a prosperous life. How long has it been since we had a bite of meat?"

When Shen Tang thought about passing by Xiao's house yesterday and smelling the intoxicating aroma of meat, she almost drooled with greed.

She didn't like Jiang Chuyue in the first place, so naturally she wouldn't attribute the Xiao family's good life to Jiang Chuyue. She prided herself on her status and her family background being much better than Jiang Chuyue, who had nothing to rely on.

If she had married Xiao Yihao, she would definitely have lived a much better life than Jiang Chuyue.

"The mountain is blocked by heavy snow. How many families in the entire Wanshan Village can eat white flour buns now? You still don't know what's good for you!" The village chief glared at Shen Tang with hatred. This daughter was spoiled by her mother.

Looking at Shen Tang who left the table angrily, the village chief was too lazy to care. If he didn't want to eat, then he didn't have to eat. He wouldn't die from starvation if he skipped a meal.

The village chief felt complicated when he thought of the Xiao couple. He knew that the Xiao family lived a very busy life, but as the head of the village, how could he do such a shameful thing?

Fortunately, he still had a certain amount of savings from extorting money from the villagers on a daily basis. Although the grain price was high now, it did not affect the Shen family. However, when they thought about the grain and seeds for planting in the spring of next year, the family was more or less stretched.

Thinking of this, the village chief hesitated and finally appeared at the door of the Xiao family.

At a glance, one could see a long line of people in the Xiao family's yard. No one was in a hurry or making any noise. They just lined up honestly and exchanged the herbs they picked for food from Jiang Chuyue. Some of those with good income were even willing to exchange them for a little meat.

Someone came out and greeted the village chief nervously when he saw him.

"Village Chief, why are you here?"

Jiang Chuyue, who was busy weighing grain, heard the noise here. He looked over and saw a man with a goatee who was dressed quite nicely and did not fit in with the other villagers.

"Why is the village chief here?" Jiang Chuyue hurried to greet him.

"I just happened to pass by and took a look." The village chief pretended to be calm.

Jiang Chuyue knew that the person in Wanshan Village who could not be offended the most was the village chief, so she was very polite, "Why don't you come in and take a look?"

"No, I have other things to do."

Seeing the village chief leave in a hurry, Jiang Chuyue didn't think much about it. She returned to the table and continued to weigh food for the next person.

The appearance of the village chief alone provided an extra topic of conversation during dinner that day.

"Why do you think the village chief came here?" The village chief lived in the south of the village, which was a long way away from the Xiao family's old house. He would never dare to pass by their door.

"Maybe he heard that your business is booming and came to take a look." Xiao Yihao's hands kept moving and he picked up a big piece of meat with his chopsticks.

"Aunt Zhang, your cooking skills are getting better and better now." He also praised Aunt Zhang.

Jiang Chuyue rolled her eyes at Xiao Yihao and said, "What if he takes a fancy to our business?" The events of the Zhou family in the past were still vivid in her mind. The business had finally stabilized and the quality of the herbs she collected was guaranteed. Jiang Chuyue was unwilling to give up this business just like that.

"If you like her, then so be it." Xiao Yihao didn't have any ideas at all and spoke in a sarcastic tone, which made Jiang Chuyue so angry that she wanted to slap him. But after thinking about it, she decided that she shouldn't offend Xiao Yihao easily.

Otherwise, her life will be difficult in the future.

Jiang Chuyue warned herself secretly in her heart and forced herself to calm down. "Why do I feel like you have already guessed that this day would come?"

Xiao Yihao didn't answer directly, "Shen Tang hasn't been doing anything for a while."

Jiang Chuyue could hear his words beating around the bush, "It seems that Shen Tang still can't stand me taking your wife's place."

Jiang Chuyue understood what was going on and didn't think too much about it. As long as the village chief didn't have any intentions on their business, Shen Tang was nothing to be afraid of.

Listening to Jiang Chuyue and Xiao Yihao's extremely fast-paced speech, the children didn't understand what they meant after listening for a long time.

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" Xiao Shuangshuang held the bowl and looked over with her watery eyes. Jiang Chuyue fell in love with her at first sight.

Jiang Chuyue pinched Xiao Shuangshuang's chubby face and said contentedly, "We are just joking. It's normal for children not to understand. When you grow up, you will understand."

Although it is not good to fool children, it is indeed easy and convenient to do so.

After dinner, Jiang Chuyue stopped Xiao Yihao who was about to go back to his room, "Wait, I have something to talk to you about."

Although Xiao Yihao didn't know what Jiang Chuyue was going to do, he still stopped and waited for Jiang Chuyue to return to the room with a bunch of things, and then he rushed into the room before him.

"These are some pills I developed recently. They are good for your legs. You can try them." Jiang Chuyue casually piled the medicine bottles on the table, and it was immediately full.

"So many?" Xiao Yihao frowned and looked over.

"Your legs can only be healed slowly." Jiang Chuyue said this and coaxed Xiao Yihao into taking a pill.

Seeing that he didn't react, Jiang Chuyue squatted down, next to Xiao Yihao's legs, and her breath fell on Xiao Yihao's legs.

It was too close, Xiao Yihao subconsciously wanted to step back, but before the wheelchair could move, Jiang Chuyue pulled him back, "There is blood stasis in your leg, I have to make a small incision to drain the blood, it will be a little painful, if you can't bear it, you can take one pill."

After saying that, Jiang Chuyue pulled out a medicine bottle from the table and stuffed it into Xiao Yihao's hand.

"It's okay, just do it." Xiao Yihao was about to put the medicine bottle back when Jiang Chuyue called him, "It's okay, you can take one pill if you are not afraid of pain. Just think of it as testing the medicine for me. After all, I can't ask other patients to test the medicine for me temporarily when I treat them in the future, right?"

What she said made sense, and Xiao Yihao didn't know how to refuse. After hesitating for a while, he swallowed a pill in front of Jiang Chuyue.

Seeing that he had taken the pill, Jiang Chuyue was not curious about his reaction after taking the medicine. She stood up, fetched the oil lamp, took out a sharp knife, and roasted it over the fire.

Xiao Yihao watched Jiang Chuyue make all the preparations throughout the whole process and did not feel nervous at all.

When Jiang Chuyue squatted in front of his knees again with a knife in hand, ready to cut, a wave of drowsiness swept over Xiao Yihao. He shook his head, and before he could say anything, his head tilted and he fell into a deep sleep.

"Hey, Xiao Yihao, why did you fall asleep?" Jiang Chuyue patted Xiao Yihao's face.
