Day by day passes, and for Wen Ran, these days are just like growing up, nothing different.

She doesn’t collect pigweed anymore, just wakes up and eats every day, eats until she’s full, then sleeps.

If she feels bored, she’ll take the wolf and go for a walk in the mountains.

If she catches some game, great, if not, she’ll come back empty-handed.

For a while, the big girls and young wives in the village felt some resentment towards Wen Ran.

Damn, they knew Wen Ran was living comfortably, but they didn’t imagine she was living this comfortably.

Boohoo, they’re really jealous.

Even the team leader couldn’t stand it, finished handling his trivial matters, and headed straight to the Xiao Family.

"Yo," the team leader greeted Mrs. Xiao, "shelling peanuts at home?"

Mrs. Xiao: "?"

Seeing the team leader’s fawning smile, Mrs. Xiao hesitated, "Is your family out of peanuts? If not, you can pack some from our house and take them with you?"

"Nah," the team leader waved his hand, "I still have some at home, just not much.

If you have extra, it would be great to pack me a bag."

Hey, might as well ask.

Mrs. Xiao: "....."

Look at his shamelessness.

She replied unkindly, "Wait, I’ll go inside and find a bowl to pack some for you, and then you can return the bowl later."

"Okay, okay."

Mrs. Xiao went inside, while the team leader quickly dashed to Wen Ran’s side, dissatisfied, "Dead girl, what’s going on with you?

Did you encounter something unhappy? I feel like you’ve been pretty dead lately.

I remember you used to be full of energy, hands on your hips, ready to jump up and curse people, and thinking about it, I do miss it a bit."

Wen Ran: "....."

Nope.

She opened her eyes, looking at the rambling team leader with a bit of helplessness, "Uncle, are you implying that I haven’t been misbehaving lately?"

Team leader: "."

Indeed not.

He just wanted peace and quiet, to lead everyone in farming.

"Please, no, I don’t mean that. It’s actually quite good if you can be peaceful.

Sometimes our team is too chaotic, and that’s not good either.

As I’m aging, you have to take care to not overwhelm me, I can handle the occasional fuss, but if it happens daily, who can bear it?"

Wen Ran said quietly, "Whether you can bear it or not, you have to bear it."

Team leader: "....."

Choked.

His main goal was not to trouble himself, so he quickly changed the topic, "Actually, I feel like you don’t take me seriously anymore.

Before, when you saw me, you always called uncle fondly.

Now, you barely glance at me. If I hadn’t come over, would you plan to ignore me? Are you rebelling?"

Wen Ran yawned, "Uncle, I’m human.

When someone is asleep, they can’t perceive what’s happening outside. If you didn’t come to call me, I really couldn’t interact with you, I’m asleep."

Just after Wen Ran finished explaining, Mrs. Xiao came out of the kitchen with a medium-sized bowl.

Having heard Wen Ran’s explanation, she casually added, "Yeah, Ranran hasn’t been resting well lately, often dozing in the yard during the day."

While filling the bowl with peanuts, Mrs. Xiao also showed concern for Wen Ran, "Ranran, are you still tired? If you are, go into the house and sleep."

Wen Ran, eyes drooping, yawns continuously, murmuring, "I’m tired, but I don’t want to go inside. It’s sunny out here.

Warm and cozy, quite comfortable."

Most importantly, the spot she was lying in was perfect.

There was shade from a tree above, perfectly covering her eyes, no direct sunlight.

While the rest of her body bathed in sunlight, making it as warm as can be.

Sleeping in such a place, with the sound of insects, birds chirping, and the rustling of leaves in the wind by her ears.

Occasionally hearing family members quietly walking, speaking, and the sound of Mrs. Xiao shelling peanuts.

"Crunch~"

"Crunch~"

Creating the most comforting sleep melody.

Feels like time is peaceful.

"Alright," Mrs. Xiao kindly said, "then we’ll sleep outside.

Though the weather is hot, sleeping like this might make you catch a cold.

Wait, I’ll go inside and get you a little blanket, at least cover your stomach."

Mrs. Xiao spoke as if coaxing a child.

After she finished, she stuffed the bowl full of peanuts into the team’s leader’s arms, joyfully ran inside the house to fetch a small blanket for Wen Ran.

"Well," the team leader looked at Wen Ran bewildered, asking humbly, "Your family is so harmonious it makes me envious.

Exactly how do you handle your mother-in-law?"

Song Shilan!

This is Song Shilan!

When she first moved to the countryside, Wen Rou was shy.

In just a year, under Mrs. Xiao Sr.’s bullying, she turned into a spicy lady, kicking her husband’s elder brother, slapping his younger one.

No matter who it is, if they come, she fights.

Since then, Song Shilan became unbeatable in the Xiao Family.

Who dares to provoke her?

That’s truly suicidal.

Song Shilan, she would rather harm herself a thousand times to defeat the enemy eight hundred.

Such a fierce person generally, really no one dares to provoke.

Even Mrs. Xiao Sr., who excelled at crying loudly, causing trouble, feigning death, and proficient in all rogue ways, mostly avoided Song Shilan.

She’s fearsome!

Now, as she’s aged, she has become rather gentle.

The team leader truly wanted to listen eagerly to how Wen Ran managed to do this.

Darn, it’s unbelievable.

Wen Ran drooped her eyes again and yawned, "How would I know, anyway my mom is good to me.

What’s your intention by saying this? Isn’t it stirring trouble?"

"..... Heartless!"

The team leader severely criticized Wen Ran, "Really a heartless person, seeing everything as dirty."

Wen Ran mumbled a bit, as if about to fall asleep again.

Seeing Wen Ran like this, the team leader suddenly felt uneasy.

It’s not right!

This state is clearly not normal.

This dead girl Wen Ran, who used to be as strong as a calf, now seems listless.

Over there, Mrs. Xiao returned with a small blanket, looking a bit lost.

"What’s with you?"

The team leader looked at the odd-faced Mrs. Xiao, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

Boohoo, what’s up with this family.

If he knew, he wouldn’t have come.

"No, I’m fine," Mrs. Xiao swallowed deeper, hiding her immense joy, carrying the small blanket to Wen Ran, and then covered her.

Wen Ran opened her eyes, "Mom."

"Yes, mom’s here."

Mrs. Xiao’s voice, tender like it’s dripping with honey, "If you’re tired then sleep first, but you have to tell mom what you want for lunch?

Mom will prepare it in advance."

What to eat?

Wen Ran’s muddled head spun around, packed with thoughts of spicy rabbit cubes.

"Mom, I want spicy rabbit cubes."

"Alright! I’ll cook it!"
