Chapter 87 My Godmother is Rich
Xiao Jingxuan's eyes widened in disbelief: "Godmother, is this... a silver note?"

"That's right! Now you can focus on your studies, right? Each of these cards is worth a thousand taels. Your godmother could afford to send you all the way to the top of the imperial examinations. So, no matter what hurtful things others say to you in the future, don't take it to heart. They're just jealous of you!"

"Godmother, I understand." Little Jingxuan's face flushed with excitement, but she was also a little ashamed that she had listened to someone else's side of the story instead of believing her godmother.

From now on, he will only believe what his godmother says, and he will not believe any other people's attempts to sow discord.

"I'm glad you know. Go out and your godmother will cook you something delicious for lunch today."

"Thank you, godmother!" Xiao Jingxuan said happily, everything her godmother makes tastes delicious.

Qi Yunran pinched his chubby little face, getting closer and closer to her goal of raising him to be chubby.

After they came out, Qi Yunran made hot pot for lunch.

She went to town a couple of days ago and learned that Jingxuan would be back soon, so she bought some pork bones.

She started simmering the bone broth, preparing to make hot pot today.

Xiao Jingxuan also ran over to help Qi Yunran tend the fire: "Xiao Xuan'er, hurry up and come over. Your godmother will cook for you so you don't get your clothes dirty. Your godmother will tend the fire." Her real intention was to let him go and play for a while.

Unexpectedly, after listening to her words, Xiao Jingxuan thought about it, went back to the room Pei Yuanjun had prepared for him, changed into a set of his old clothes, and then came out.

He then sat by the stove to tend the fire for her.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him otherwise, Qi Yunran gave in to him.

The children in the village all wished they could be lazy and play all day long.

When her little one comes home from school, she is very sensible and wants to help her with everything.

While feeling somewhat helpless, Qi Yunran also felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

Her gaze towards Xiao Jingxuan was very gentle.

Little Jingxuan smiled foolishly. After the bone broth was ready, Qi Yunran ladled a bowl for Little Jingxuan and told him to let it cool down before drinking it, saying it would help him grow taller quickly.

Xiao Jingxuan thanked Qi Yunran and then drank the warm bone broth.

Qi Yunran prepared hot pot ingredients, including small mushrooms and wood ear fungus she had picked in the mountains, as well as mutton and beef she had bought in town the day before. She had bought them with the thought that her little Xuan'er was coming back and she wanted to buy him more so he could try everything.

The beef and mutton were cut into thin slices, and some leafy wild vegetables were prepared, along with bamboo shoots dug from the back mountain.

The villagers didn't know how to prepare these bamboo shoots, and after eating them once, no one wanted to pick them anymore.

Qi Yunran, however, picked quite a lot and planned to dry them into dried bamboo shoots so that they could be eaten all year round.

Qi Yunran originally liked spicy food, but Xiao Jingxuan is a child and can't handle spicy food very well.

Qi Yunran then made a clear broth hot pot.

I made my own chili dipping sauce.

Then we prepared to eat, thinking that the two of us wouldn't eat much, so we didn't prepare much.

But just as they were starting to eat, Pei Yuanjun returned.

Seeing the hot pot on the table, he grabbed a bowl and started eating.

Qi Yunran was somewhat surprised: "I thought you weren't coming back?"

Pei Yuanjun suddenly gave her a meaningful look.

She picked up her chopsticks and ate gracefully. He knew what she wanted to say; she simply hadn't expected him to come back, so she hadn't cooked for him.

Qi Yunran hadn't prepared much to begin with, and she watched as the contents of the pot dwindled.

Xiao Jingxuan protested: "Godfather, don't eat so fast! Leave some for Godmother and Jingxuan!"

Pei Yuanjun then politely put down his chopsticks: "Little Xuan'er, are you still hungry?"

Xiao Xuan'er's eyes welled up with tears of grievance. Her godfather was bullying her and taking food from a child.

His godmother said this was specially prepared for him.
