Chapter 76: Burning Paper Offerings Liang Tian'er lent Jiang Dai two maids. One was twenty-one years old, named Chunlai. The other was twenty-four, named Dongqu. Liang Tian'er had given clear instructions. Both girls were dressed in coarse linen and carried their own change of clothes. “Just tell others they're distant relatives from my maternal side.

As the white mist in front of him finally cleared, Wang Maquan didn’t even bother with the pain wracking his body, nor did he argue with the guards about whether or not they should still go to the Bai Family. He just ran. No kidding—if he didn’t run now, was he planning to stick around and get beaten up by some weird ghost? The guards, who had been dead set on completing their mission just moments ago, hesitated for a second, then…

- Chapter 75: Instead of Just Planting Sweet Potatoes, Why Not Spread the Word? Dachui, who had never lifted a finger at home, stood frozen in place. He stared at the young neighbor girl in front of him, never imagining that this would be the reason she was upset. Though things weren’t exactly luxurious at Dachui’s Home, and his mother often gave him a beating, Dachui had never once worried that she’d stop liking him just because he didn’t do any chores. He only knew one thing: no matter…

- Chapter 73: Third Brother Finishes Beating, Then Big Brother Takes Over Time ticked by, and the country path remained quiet, with barely a soul passing through. It was almost mealtime. “Guess they’re not coming.” Bai Yun’an was just about to climb down and head back to the village for lunch when he gave the area one last scan from his perch. That’s when he spotted a cluster of tiny black dots far off in the distance, trudging along the rural dirt road. The thought of heading down…

- Chapter 72: Third Brother Takes Action Maybe it wasn’t that Third Brother had changed, but that she was getting to know him all over again. Juanjuan lowered her eyes slightly, her little head turning as she tried to make sense of this feeling. It was like... Grown-ups said lying was something bad kids did. But even though Brother Dachui sometimes lied to his mother, he wasn’t a bad kid. Third Brother used to say some really scary things in his heart, but in the past couple of weeks, he…

- Chapter 71: So Many Secrets My Brothers Are Hiding He also figured it was most likely Zhenxiu Restaurant, which made asking Shiwei Restaurant for help the most convenient option. Maybe, just maybe, he could even ask that young lady from Jingcheng to deliver a secret letter back to the capital for him. Bai Tian nodded. “Yes, we can ask Shiwei Restaurant for assistance with this, but we can’t rely on them entirely.” “I’ll go check if our knives are ready. Even if they’re not, I’ll…

- Chapter 70: Our Parents Are Kind of Weird... "Why study if you're not taking the Imperial Examination?" Bai Yunqi asked curiously. Bai Tian replied, "Mainly because your mom and I were never cut out for studying. Education isn't the only path in life, but you still need to be literate." Jiang Dai chimed in, "Exactly. If you want to take the Imperial Examination, go for it. If you want to become a general, then be one. If you want to do nothing and just lie flat at home, that’s fine too—but…

- Chapter 69: Children Must Taste the Hardship of Learning On an early morning at the end of April, the sun had yet to rise, and though the day already carried a hint of warmth, the air still held a lingering chill. Juanjuan panted as she jogged behind her second brother. "Juanjuan, don't breathe through your mouth. You can exhale slowly through it." "Juanjuan, no need to match my pace. Just go at your own speed, nice and easy. As long as you keep moving, that's enough." "Juanjuan, you can…
