Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?

Chen family, a large bowl of fragrant rabbit meat placed in front of Chen Jie, was sizzling and drool-inducing.

Sitting across the table were Su Yunjin and Little Douding, Su Yunrui.

At that moment, Little Douding's eyes were glued to the rabbit meat in front of Chen Jie, and she couldn't look away for a second. She was desperately swallowing her saliva but didn't dare to reach out with her chopsticks.

She still remembered the time when she had eaten her brother-in-law's fried eggs and was slapped twice by him, going a whole day hungry.

Now, no matter how much she craved, she didn't dare to eat.

It was then that Su Yunjin divided her wild vegetable bun in half for Little Douding and held the other half herself, placing the rest beside Chen Jie. Su Yunjin actually ate very little herself, as Chen Jiusi had once told her she was wasteful.

She was only allowed half a wild vegetable bun daily, made mostly from wild vegetables with no millet flour.

Little Douding, holding her half of the wild vegetable bun, still couldn't take her eyes off the bowl, and at this moment, she took a big bite, muttering to herself, "Rabbit meat isn't tasty, it's sour, it's sour..."

Little Douding mumbled under her breath, and Su Yunjin ate her wild vegetable bun head-down, not touching the stewed rabbit meat in front of Chen Jie.

These were the rules established by the former Chen Jiusi: all the good food in the house could only be eaten by the head of the household, and only after he was done, Little Douding and Su Yunjin could eat the leftovers.

Chen Jie sighed, reached out his hand towards Little Douding, who was startled. Was she going to be hit just for looking?

Frightened, her little face turned pale, but the anticipated slap did not come.

When she opened her eyes, she found that her bowl of rice was gone. Little Douding almost cried out, thinking the mean brother-in-law was preventing her from eating again.

But the next moment, something she hadn't expected happened. Under the puzzled and shocked gaze of the Su sisters, Chen Jie scooped up a third of the big bowl of rabbit meat in front of him and placed it into Little Douding's bowl.

Then, he took Su Yunjin's bowl and spooned a third of the rabbit meat into her bowl as well.

After that, with the sisters' stunned eyes on him, he set the bowls down in front of them. The sisters looked at Chen Jie, not understanding his actions.

Chen Jie knew explanations were futile, so he spoke with a commanding tone, "Eat it all."

The sisters looked at Chen Jie in surprise. Chen Jie, without further explanation, opened his mouth wide and started to eat. After taking a bite of the rabbit meat, which was slightly gamey due to the lack of spices at home—blanching it in water should have made it taste even more delicious.

However, this body must have gone too long without oily food, so even a slight gamey taste was incredibly delicious!

At this moment, the two sisters were still looking at themselves in disbelief.

"What are you looking at me for, eat!"

Chen Jie spoke.

This time Little Douding couldn't help but swallow and asked, "Brother-in-law, can I, can I really eat this?"

Chen Jie laughed and said, "Nonsense, if I tell you to eat, you eat. It's offered by your brother-in-law."

"Then, then I will eat."

Little Douding couldn't hold back anymore and bit into a piece of rabbit meat, immediately becoming entranced by the flavor.

It was so delicious!

Little Douding's tears welled up, but her body was shrinking in anticipation, suspecting the mean brother-in-law was playing a cruel trick on her, giving him a reason to hit her once she ate.

But such delicious meat was worth a beating.

However, the expected slap never came. When she opened her eyes, she saw Chen Jie smiling at her, asking, "Is it good?"

"Mm."

Little Douding nodded, and Chen Jie said, "Then eat more, we still have a bowl of meat if it's not enough."

Little Douding's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and then she continued to eat voraciously without caring about anything else, her eyes turning towards Chen Jie. Suddenly, she felt that this brother-in-law didn't seem as bad as before.

Su Yunjin didn't move her chopsticks and looked at Chen Jie with a somewhat strange expression.

Chen Jie said, "What are you looking at? Do you think your husband has become even more handsome? Hurry up and eat."

"Yes, sister, hurry up and eat, it's so delicious..."

Su Yunjin hesitated for a long time but still picked up her chopsticks and started eating the rabbit meat, although she ate very restrainedly, as if she wasn't quite used to Chen Jie's sudden change.

However, Little Douding didn't care about these things and quickly finished off the meat in her bowl. Su Yunjin saw this and pushed the meat from her own bowl into Little Douding's.

Instead, her own bowl was left with hardly any meat, so Chen Jie added a few pieces of meat from his own bowl to Su Yunjin's. Su Yunjin still wanted to give more to Little Douding but was stopped by Chen Jie: "Eating too much meat all at once isn't good."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunjin stopped and obediently ate the meat from her own bowl.

A bowl of meat and three wild vegetable dumplings had filled Chen Jie up. Although it was not very delicious, it wasn't bad either. He patted his stomach and asked the contented Little Douding, "Is it good?"

"Good."

"Well then, in the future, your brother-in-law will get you more meat to eat, okay?"

"Okay."

Little Douding seemed to have already forgotten about Chen Jie's 'terrifying' side.

And on the other side, Su Yunjin finished the meat in her bowl, looked up, and said with a hint of worry, "What about Lu San?"

Chen Jie said, "I've told you, it's nothing. He's just a bully."

Having said that, Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and asked, "By the way, Yunjin, do you remember an old yellowed book I have with the words 'Yang Chun Skill' written on it?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunjin nodded and said, "Yes."

"Really, bring it to me to see."

Chen Jie said excitedly. Su Yunjin hesitated for a moment, then stood up, found a bundle from the cabinet, and unwrapped it to reveal a stack of old books.

When their family had been driven out of the big house, Su Yunjin hadn't brought anything else but specifically carried these old books with her.

Su Yunjin came from a scholarly family and valued the inheritance of such books more than wealth.

Chen Jie walked over and saw that among them were mostly medical books and various case studies, all of which were his grandmother's life's work.

Unfortunately, 'the prodigal son doesn't care to sell off his ancestors' fields'; this wastrel had not taken these intangible treasures to heart, especially when he saw the Yang Chun Skill with a cover that was already broken and even had traces of soup on it.

Originally, when they moved into this house, the dining table was uneven, so Chen Jie had used the Yang Chun Skill to prop up the table. In the end, it was Su Yunjin who saw it and, feeling distressed, snatched it back.

Chen Jie truly despaired at his predecessor's foolishness; treating antiques as junk to sell was like explaining why wealth doesn't last more than three generations.

Chen Jie took the Yang Chun Skill and also kept the rest of the medical books by his side. Under Su Yunjin's perplexed gaze, he began to study them seriously.

As for his own unusual behavior, he explained to Su Yunjin, "A scholar learns skills to have a way to make a living in the future. Otherwise, how am I going to support the two of you?"

However, Su Yunjin didn't quite believe in Chen Jie's seemingly reformed behavior and was still observing him.

After they finished eating, Chen Jie started to read the Yang Chun Skill intently, while Su Yunjin went to wash the dishes and tidy up the stove. Little Douding, rubbing her belly, took a small stool and sat at the doorway of their home, where there was an anthill.

Little Douding loved watching the ants move house the most. These little ants were her best playmates and also little snacks.

Yes, sometimes when Little Douding was very hungry, she would secretly eat a few straggling ants. They tasted sour and delicious.

But when Little Douding did this, she controlled herself very strictly, eating at most three a day and never more...
