Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

[If we don't take good care of such a golden nugget, they'll regret it someday...]

Gan Yuwan was wrapping pastries when she paused.

What did her daughter say? That Yun Ziyan is a gold nugget?

Yun Ziyan held the sponge cake, her fingers twitching as she hesitated to eat it.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, he lowered his head and hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

"Grandpa and Grandma know that my second uncle's family makes pastries now... so they wanted to ask how much they cost per pound..."

The rest was self-explanatory; Gan Yuwan understood immediately.

This is because the old couple were unhappy that they hadn't gone to offer them the pastries they made, so they sent Yun Ziyan to give them a warning.

Gan Yuwan's face darkened for a moment, then she forced a smile, but her voice lacked any real mirth: "Shuangshuang, quickly pack some pastries, and we'll take them over with your cousin Ziyan later. Don't let your grandparents think we don't know how to behave."

This is a blatant slap in the face.

You sent someone to ask the price? I'll just give it to you for free. Let's see what you can do about it then.

Yun Shuangshuang was not happy and glared at Yun Ziyan.

Yun Ziyan kept his head down, holding the two sponge cakes in his hands neatly, not daring to move.

He lost his parents at a young age and has lived a life of constant observation and fear of offending anyone.

But when I looked down at the two golden, warm sponge cakes in my hand, my nose suddenly stung with tears.

Gan Yuwan thought of her little girl's thoughts again and casually asked, "Ziyan, you're ten years old now, right? Have you thought about what you want to be when you grow up?"

Yun Ziyan didn't expect his second aunt to ask that question.

His voice was soft, but clear: "Second Aunt, I...I also want to study."

Yun Shengsheng casually picked up a mung bean cake, took a bite, and nodded.

My little cousin is a real academic prodigy. He's definitely a likely candidate for the top scholar in this year's imperial examination.

It's a pity my grandparents didn't know its value, and actually, neither did my parents. Otherwise, whoever raised my little cousin and provided him with a proper education, wouldn't he repay the favor in the future?

[Only Yun Linlin knew some inside information through the system. With nothing else to do, she would try to appease my little cousin with steamed buns and eggs.]

Later, my cousin met a renowned scholar who was traveling in the area. The scholar took him in as a disciple and guided him under the scholar's careful tutelage. He passed the imperial examinations step by step, achieving first place in each stage, and finally topped the list of successful candidates, becoming the top scholar!

After his younger cousin was granted an official position, he was grateful for Yun Linlin's help years ago and gave her countless benefits. He took Yun Linlin with him wherever he went, enabling her to make connections with many high-ranking officials and nobles, and enter the social circles of the capital.

[Thus, she met many talented young men, who all became fish in her pond. Sigh! No wonder she's the female lead with such good fortune.]

Gan Yuwan almost crushed the pastry in her hand.

Yun Pianpian, Yun Shuangshuang, and Yun Qiaoqiao all changed their expressions at the same time.

Their biggest hobby right now is to trample Yun Linlin underfoot, how could they possibly give her a chance to turn things around?

They've already cleaned up all the boys in the village; they absolutely can't let Yun Linlin go out and cause trouble for outsiders!

The three exchanged a glance and instantly reached a consensus: keep a close eye on their younger cousin and absolutely do not let Yun Linlin get involved!

Yun Pianpian grabbed Yun Ziyan and pressed him onto the stool.

Yun Shuangshuang picked up the teapot and poured water.

Yun Qiaoqiao took one of each kind of pastry from the table and piled it in front of him, and even took out a fan to fan him.

Yun Ziyan was completely stunned.

"Little cousin, you want to study? That's great! Your brother-in-law is a scholar, so feel free to ask him anything you don't understand!"

"Yes, yes, yes, brother-in-law is more than capable of teaching you!"

"Ziyan, you must come to our house often from now on, we really love you!"

"Your clothes are too small, your cousin will make you new ones today!"

As she spoke, Yun Shuangshuang took out a ruler and began gesturing around Yun Ziyan.

Yun Ziyan was so flattered that she waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Cousins, I have to go back quickly, Grandpa and Grandma will get angry if they wait too long..."

Yun Pianpian immediately turned to complain, "Mom! My grandparents are selfish! Why did they make my little brother Ziyan go back?"

Yun Shuangshuang chimed in, "Exactly! Now that our family's better off, let Ziyan come live with us!"

Yun Qiaoqiao concluded, "Yes, yes, our family is really lacking a son, and this is just what we need! We both have the surname Yun anyway!"

Gan Yuwan was left speechless and exasperated after being rebuked by her three daughters.

She glanced at her little girl and noticed that her eyes were sparkling.

[Exactly! Treating my little cousin like my own child—that's a true literary genius descended to earth, a guaranteed win!]

Now I have an older brother, and my parents have a son too! How wonderful!

Gan Yuwan touched her nose, felt a pang of sadness for a second, and coughed lightly, saying, "This isn't up to me. We'll discuss it when your father comes back. We also need to talk to your grandparents, so they don't think we're getting a huge advantage."

The four daughters nodded in unison.

When Yun Huaikang returned home that night and heard about this, he left without saying a word.

As darkness fell, he returned with Yun Ziyan.

Yun Ziyan, a small and thin man, huddled by the doorway, with a small bundle under his arm, probably containing not even a single piece of clothing.

He hunched his shoulders and cautiously stepped through the door, still feeling it was unreal, as if he were dreaming.

But no matter who he lives with, he's always living under someone else's roof, so he's used to it.

Then the door opened.

Yun Pianpian held up a new dress and held it up against him, her face beaming with joy.

"From now on, I won't call you 'cousin' anymore! You're older than Shengsheng, so you're the fifth one in our family! Little Fifth, this is a dress your eldest sister made for you, try it on!"

Yun Shuangshuang squatted on the ground and held up a pair of new shoes to his feet.

"Yes, yes, from now on, call me Eldest Sister, Second Sister, Third Sister, and Fourth Sister—no need for the 'Tang' part! These shoes I made will definitely fit; you should try them on!"

Yun Qiaoqiao rushed over and solemnly placed a book into his hands.

"This is my brother-in-law's book, it's for you!"

Yun Shuangshuang immediately widened her eyes, "That was a gift from my brother-in-law!"

Yun Qiaoqiao shrank her neck. "Third sister, I think you only know two words. It's a waste for you to keep it. You might as well give it to Xiao Wu!"

Yun Shuangshuang choked.

Yun Ziyan quickly returned the book, but Yun Shuangshuang waved her hand, "It's yours, just take it! It's okay, I can ask my brother-in-law for it!"

Yun Ziyan opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Then big tears started falling.

"Thank you, cousin..."

"Don't talk nonsense! Call me 'sister'!"

Looking at the child, so thin and small, Yun Huaikang felt a pang of sadness. He patted the child's head and said, "Yes, from now on you'll be the fifth child in the family. Just call me 'sister.' As for your second aunt and me, you can call us whatever you like."

Yun Shengsheng, who had grown from the fifth to the sixth child, also ran over and stuffed a sponge cake into Yun Ziyan's arms, tilting her little face up, her little face crisp and crunchy:

"Eat...eat...brother...eat..."

Meanwhile, at Yun Huai'an's house, Yun Linlin angrily smashed eggs.

She had just gone to her grandparents' house, thinking she would sneak a peek at her cousin Yun Ziyan and make her presence known, but instead she saw her second uncle pick him up.

This is her biggest support in the future.

My second uncle's family previously abducted the Prince of Ming, and now they're abducting my cousin—it's outrageous!

Liang Dahua scolded, "Linlin, what's wrong with you? Why are you throwing eggs on the ground like that!"

Yun Linlin was extremely aggrieved and threw herself into her mother's arms. "My second uncle's family took my little cousin away too! He's the future top scholar..."
