With more helpers, cooking is faster. The children help pick vegetables and clean them, and Lin Jiangyue is in charge of cooking.

Xie Wenyu, who has always been a dignified person, couldn't help much, but he was chattering on the sidelines asking questions.

As soon as the braised fish came out of the pot, his eyes lit up with shock.

"Jiang Yue, with your skills, even if you can't get married in the future, you can still support yourself. I think you don't need the cooking skills of the Zuixianglou master in the capital!"

As soon as Xie Wenyu finished speaking, Li Yi rolled his eyes, and he immediately closed his mouth knowingly.

There were so many people that it was almost impossible to sit down. Lin Jiangyue mentally planned to buy a bigger table.

The family happily served the bowls and were about to eat, when an unknown voice came from outside the house.

"Ouch! What does this smell like! It smells so good!"

A person who looked like a little book boy jumped into the door of Lin Jiangyue's house.

Li Yi put down his chopsticks with a dark face. Lin Jiangyue also saw that this person had bad intentions.

"Miss Fang, why do you come to a remote place like mine?"

"You are all here, how boring it is for me to be alone in the capital! Sister, you won't blame me for being abrupt, right?"

Lin Jiangyue put down her chopsticks and said, "You are quite abrupt."

"Miss Fang, if you are here because of something between you and me, you can wait until I return to the capital."

Li Yi was also afraid that the deep-thinking Fang Pinlan would do something wrong, so he also tried to persuade him.

Fang Pinlan smiled slightly.

"Everyone says that all tourists are passing by. I've come all the way here, so there's no reason why I should be hungry in front of my house. If you don't like me, I'll leave tomorrow."

Lin Jiangyue cursed in her heart for being so shameless. Before she could say the words of rejection, Xie Wenyu spoke.

"Uncle, just let her in. The matter between you and her made a big fuss before, and the whole capital knows that her family is shameless."

Xie Wenyu didn't know that Fang Pinlan was stumbling behind her back. Seeing that she was pitiful, he begged for mercy.

Fang Pinlan thought she would succeed, but Li Yi suddenly stood up.

"Dayun, put some food on the table and bring it to Miss Fang. Please ask her not to step into this house, otherwise I will tie you up now. Report the news to Fang's house immediately and ask your parents to discipline you!"

Fang Pinlan was obviously taken aback by Li Yi.

She took a few steps back and left the yard. Dayun obediently brought a bowl of food over. Fang Pinlan took it, her tears falling down into her rice bowl.

Dayun kindly advised her, "You can leave by yourself after eating, don't make yourself uncomfortable."

Fang Pinlan felt extremely aggrieved at this time. The person who should have been standing next to Li Yi was clearly her! Now she has become the goddess Lin Jiangyue!

Why should she?
The family was eating happily inside the house, which was in sharp contrast to Fang Pinlan who was lonely in the corner outside the house.

As night falls, the stars are extraordinarily bright tonight. Lin Jiangyue sits together at home, blowing the evening breeze, and takes turns guessing riddles.

Suddenly a shooting star flashed across the horizon.

The children wowed and began to make wishes with their eyes closed one after another. Lin Jiangyue also closed her eyes silently.

When she opened her eyes again, she found Li Yi staring at her.

"What wish did you make?"

"You can't say it, it won't work if you say it."

Lin Jiangyue blinked playfully, and Li Yi paused, "I may have a very important wish."

"What is it?"

"It won't work if you say it."

Xie Wenyu suddenly came over and said, "I promise that I will pass the exam next year! This will save my parents from being nagging all day long."

Li Yi silently raised his head, looked at the sky, and thought in his heart, "Who asked you?" Fang Pinlan outside the house also saw the shining meteor. She closed her eyes and silently agreed to a wish, then opened her eyes. Full of resentment, she got up and left Lin Jiangyue's house.

When it was time to go to bed, the boys would go to their fourth brother's house to sleep after washing up.

Lin Jiangyue took her third sister, Li Yi and Xie Wenyu to sleep in Lin Jiangyue's house.

After Li Yi promised not to be cruel to Xie Wenyu, Xie Wenyu was reluctantly willing to be in the same room with him.

It was late at night, and the third sister kept tossing and turning. She asked Lin Jiangyue in a low voice if she could work more. She wanted to secretly give some of the pocket money her mother gave her so that she could buy some delicious food.

Lin Jiangyue disagreed with her, "Shan Yun, I understand your good intentions in wanting to help her, but the money you give her will only be used by her parents, and she won't be able to use any of it."

"Why not, why don't you go next time and bring her some delicious food and let her go home after eating. You can also give her old clothes that she doesn't wear, but you can't give her new ones, otherwise her parents will definitely rip her off. Take the clothes and sell them.”

Shan Yun nodded thoughtfully, and Lin Jiangyue also tried to teach her some truth.

"People must be kind, but kindness must be smart and kind, not stupid."

"There are too many miserable people in the world. Buddha only saves those who are destined to be saved, not to mention that we are ordinary people."

Shan Yun may have understood, so he snuggled into Lin Jiangyue's arms, slowly breathing evenly.

After a tiring day, Lin Jiangyue also gathered herself and prepared to sleep.

It's autumn, and the wind is blowing outside.

The entire Dashi Village fell into a deep sleep.

A petite figure appeared in front of Lin Jiangyue's house. She carefully spread the tung oil and hay over and over again.

The gleaming torch illuminated her sinister little face.

The usual playful cheerfulness was gone, and his face was full of resentment.

"You asked for this."

Fang Pinlan struggled to throw the torch out of her hand.

The fire immediately burst into flames.

She was standing in front of the house, and the brighter the fire, the more the corners of her mouth rose.

The room was filled with thick smoke. After Li Yi woke up, he quickly shook Xie Wenyu awake.

Xie Wenyu woke up confused.

"Uncle, why is it on fire again? Why does it always catch on fire in the middle of the night?"

Li Yi had no time to talk nonsense with him.

"Cover your mouth and nose and get out quickly. I'll go see Jiang Yue."

Xie Wenyu covered his nose with his elbow, lowered his head and jumped out of the room.

Li Yi quickly rushed to Lin Jiangyue's room, opening the door while calling Lin Jiangyue's name.

But what he didn't expect was that Lin Jiangyue was not in the room at all.

Shan Yun seemed to be in a coma, his head was covered with sweat, and he was twisting uneasily.

He couldn't care much. After checking the house to make sure that Lin Jiangyue was not there, Li Yi picked up the child and prepared to send the child to a safe place outside.

He rushed out of the house with his child in his arms. The fire was already so strong that it was about to engulf the entire house.

"Jiang Yue! Lin Jiangyue!"

Li Yi put down Shan Yun, shouted and looked around, and opened his legs to rush into the house again to look for someone.

Fang Pinlan came out of the darkness and said slowly, "Don't waste your efforts. I drugged them in their room."
