Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 74: Why Are You Here So Early?

Of course, Jiang Ran knew that Pei Yang didn’t mean that, but it didn’t stop her from continuing, "If someone were really to come here to make trouble, do you think it would be me protecting you, or you protecting us?"

"I..."

Pei Yang opened his mouth to retort, but no words came out.

Because Jiang Ran was right. If someone really came to cause trouble, it would probably end up with Jiang Ran protecting him and Pei Shanshan.

After all, Jiang Ran was capable of taking on ten people by herself.

Since things had already come to this point, Pei Yang didn’t know what else he could say. He could only nod, "Okay, then I’ll head back home and let the family know that you won’t be coming back tonight."

"That’s more like it, alright, hurry up and go!"

When Pei Baoshan and Wang Cuilan left, they had already taken the cart with them.

After all, everything from the cart had been unloaded into the shop, leaving the cart there would be of no use, so it was better to take it back.

Now that Pei Yang was returning, he could travel light and walk back home by himself.

With his height and long legs, if he ran, he could be home in about forty minutes.

After watching Pei Yang leave, Jiang Ran fitted all the iron doors and bolted them from the inside.

Fortunately, it was already May, so it wouldn’t be too cold even at night.

With the door shut, the room was airtight, making it feel even less cold.

The shop wasn’t that big, so of course, they couldn’t section off a place for a bed. Jiang Ran and Pei Shanshan could only rest by lying on the table.

"You could have gone back with him, it would have been so much better. Staying here means you can only sleep on the table for a bit," Jiang Ran said somewhat helplessly.

Pei Shanshan gave Jiang Ran a bright smile, "Sister-in-law, if you can sleep on the table, so can I. It’s not that hard."

"Alright then, let’s sleep!"

Making food is hard work, and the breakfast business is even harder.

Because when the sky is still dark and everyone else is in their dreams, you have to get up and prepare breakfast.

But fortunately, Jiang Ran and Pei Shanshan had been doing this for such a long time that they had long gotten used to it.

Early the next morning, Jiang Ran woke up just as it turned four o’clock.

She was mindful about waking up early, so even without an alarm, she stirred awake right on time.

Sleeping bent over meant her entire body was uncomfortable.

It was either sore or numb.

She stood up and stretched her arms and legs for quite a while before feeling a bit better.

Just as Jiang Ran was about to wash up with some cold water, she heard a knocking on the door.

"Sister-in-law, it’s me."

It was Pei Yang’s voice.

Jiang Ran quickly walked to the door and opened it, seeing Pei Yang standing at the doorway, travel-worn.

"Why are you here so early?" Jiang Ran frowned, "Didn’t I tell you not to get up until four-thirty?"

It was only four o’clock now, which meant Pei Yang must have gotten up at three.

Pei Yang avoided answering Jiang Ran’s question and handed her the items he had, "Sister-in-law, these are the things for you and Shanshan to wash up with."

Since he was already there, there was no point in sending him back to sleep more.

Jiang Ran sighed, accepting the items from him.

The noise of the door opening and their conversation woke up Pei Shanshan.

Rubbing her eyes, Pei Shanshan sat upright, taking a moment to fully wake up.

With everyone awake, they naturally couldn’t waste time.

Jiang Ran and Pei Shanshan quickly washed up and started cooking the eight-treasure porridge.

It takes at least two hours to cook eight-treasure porridge properly so it tastes good. Starting now, it would be ready by around six, just in time for sale.
