Xue Yan said, “Yes, Jiang Yue and I have eaten.”

“I had mutton noodles,” Jiang Yue added.

“Mutton noodles are good,” Xue Sifu was relieved. He was happy to hear that the two children at home were eating well.

“This amount of money might be a lot in the eyes of the farmers, but it’s just a small amount for big families in town. Anyway, go back and tell your family to keep it a secret, especially your Wufu. He really doesn’t know how to keep his mouth shut. It’s right not to reveal your wealth. You don’t have to show everything off.

“Tian knows that our family’s blind bear was sold for a hundred silver because Wufu showed it off, right?”

“You’re wrong. It was Wang Sufen who happened to see it, not Wufu,” Xue Yan said with a smile.

“Her mouth is really… forget it, she’s just an old woman.” Xue Sifu didn’t even bother to say more.

Xue Yan put the clay pot in the basket, then took out a bag of cakes, “You can have this.”

“I’m not a child. Take it back to eat.” Xue Sifu quickly put it back. “Now that we have Jiang Yue at home, don’t give everything to Dabao and Xiaobao. You too, don’t forget that you are still a child. If we don’t have enough at home, don’t give more to others.”

In Xue Sifu’s eyes, no matter how close Dabao and the others were, they were still relatives. Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were family, which was completely different.

Feeling Sifu’s love, Xue Yan smiled, “Okay.”

“Sifu! Sifu!” The manager of the restaurant shouted.

“They’re here!” Xue Sifu immediately responded loudly, and then hurriedly said to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, “Sounds like something important. I might get busy soon. Don’t stay in town for too long. When I get my pay, I’ll go home and buy you delicious food!”

Without waiting for Xue Yan and Jiang Yue’s reply, he quickly patted their heads and hurried back to the restaurant.

Jiang Yue followed Xue Yan for a while and asked, “Does Sifu plan to stay in this restaurant as a waiter?”

“Not really, but this job is better than Sanfu’s manual labor.”

Being a coolie didn’t mean that he would have work to do every day. It was because Sanfu had a bad temper. He was not as smart and smooth as Sifu, so the manager of the restaurant only wanted Sifu to be the waiter.

“But neither of these are good jobs.” Jiang Yue said.

“Yeah.” Xue Yan nodded. Knowing what she meant, he continued, “Sanfu and Sifu are both extremely opinionated people. It’s best if we don’t interfere with what they do. If they want to do something, they will do it themselves.”

Jiang Yue didn’t want her two brothers to work so hard, but she nodded in agreement after hearing Xue Yan’s words, “It’s good to have your own backbone.”

She appreciated people who could stand up for themselves.

“Let’s go back.” Xue Yan carried the basket on his back again. There was an extra pot on top now, which was a little heavy, but not to the extent that he couldn’t carry it.

Jiang Yue saw that he was carrying something on his back and it didn’t look heavy, so she didn’t use her hands to support him.

When they arrived at the place where Tian parked the ox cart, there was still some time before the appointed time. Tian was chatting with some acquaintances at the side. When he saw them, he asked them to sit on the ox cart.
