CHAPTER 49: CHAPTER 49: SHENG XUEYI

Even though seeing her two cousins acting like sycophants made Yuan Bao furious, she did not stop them.

Go ahead, lick away, licking isn’t a crime for men!

When the time is right, she’ll give them a good smack on the head!

With such thoughts in mind, Yuan Bao let everything in front of her unfold as it would.

Not only that, she started chatting with the young lady.

Before long, with the help of Yuan Bao’s deceptively innocent look, she learned the young lady’s name.

Sheng Xueyi!

Just listen to that name, it’s so poetic.

Then think about her own two cousins’ names, Yuan Shougui and Yuan Shoucheng, they clearly don’t match up to that young lady!

As for her own name?

Yuan Bao doesn’t care how others see it.

But to her, this name is worthy of being paired with anyone else’s name under heaven.

Yuan Bao, Yuan Bao!

Who in this world doesn’t want more Yuan Bao at home?

Gold Yuan Bao, Silver Yuan Bao, who doesn’t want them, who doesn’t love them?

The snowman was quickly built.

Yuan Bao only made a small snowman over a foot tall, while the rest were built by her cousins and the village kids with Miss Sheng Xueyi.

"Ha, men!"

Since Sheng Xueyi joined in on the snowman-building activity, all the kids from Shiqu Village gathered around.

In fact, not only the boys but also the girls acted like little followers, trying to please Sheng Xueyi in every way.

She’s the daughter of an official family from the city!

The boys were enchanted by her looks, the girls by her possessions.

Some adults in the village even coveted her money.

As the initiator of the snowman event, Yuan Bao was quickly forgotten.

Apart from her youngest cousin and her little brother, no one was paying attention to her.

"Little cousin, brother, come on, let’s go home and eat meat!"

Even though she didn’t intend to immediately put her cousins’ sycophantic behavior in check, forgetting about your siblings for someone else’s young lady is just too much.

If it weren’t for the fact that Yuan Bao had the soul of an adult inside her, she would probably be very upset!

...

Back home, the fat rabbit You Cang had brought over earlier was already stewing in the pot, and the air was filled with the aroma of carrot and rabbit stew.

Apart from the rabbit stew, there was also fish stew.

The fish were caught by Old Yuan and his two sons breaking the ice on the river.

In fact, they managed to catch quite a lot of fish this time.

Besides keeping some for themselves, they also took half to the city to sell.

That’s also why the three of them weren’t home at the moment.

"Jiaojiao, are you hungry?"

Grandmother Mrs. Zeng greeted them with a big smile as soon as she saw Yuan Bao and the others return.

"Hungry!"

With that delicious smell in the air, who wouldn’t be?

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zeng immediately served them a fish and a bowl of the carrot and rabbit stew.

The meal was white rice.

Of course, not everyone in the family ate white rice.

Only the little kids in the family had this privilege.

Someone like little cousin Yuan Shouli usually ate whatever the adults ate.

Today, thanks to Yuan Bao and her brother, Yuan Shouli also got a bowl of white rice.

"Grandma, when can we eat white rice whenever we want?"

Eating white rice, which is usually only available during festivals, Yuan Shouli looked hopefully at Mrs. Zeng.

Mrs. Zeng smiled and said, "Soon, soon!"

These weren’t just comforting words.

The situation for the Yuan Family is getting better and better. When the newly cultivated mountainous land starts producing, having white rice every now and then won’t be a big deal for the Yuan Family.
