However, Shopkeeper Yan looked utterly clueless, they hadn’t done anything.
As time passed, the aroma grew stronger and stronger until the food in the restaurant didn’t seem appealing anymore.
Shopkeeper Yan paced upstairs, inspecting her surroundings anxiously.
She was determined to find out which bastard dared to set up their own game on her turf! How dare they not share a piece with her! How audacious!
Soon, she pinpointed a courtyard, from which she could perfectly observe the activity within.
She saw a few young teens rummaging through the grass, probably looking for caterpillars to feed the chickens.
Before long, a little sister came out laughing and asked something, just as Li Wenli entered the kitchen from the main house.
A little later, Li Wenli came out carrying a steaming pot of beef, followed by Bai Sasa holding a large bucket of rice.
That bucket could probably hold 30 bowls of rice.
Afterward, an eighteen-year-old teen took two little boys to wash their hands, then went cheerfully to eat.
From beginning to end, there was no sign of Bai Junjun, who probably stayed inside the main house all along.
Other than that teenager, she had seen all the other children that morning.
Little did Shopkeeper Yan know that there were quite a few people with Wenli, considering that large bucket of rice.
However, Shopkeeper Yan would never have guessed that only six people would eat from that bucket of rice.
And because the braised beef was so exceptional, they actually finished the entire bucket of rice.
Their ability to devour the meal was impressive, and who could blame them?
Anyone who has ever been hungry would act the same; not just them, but all refugees.
It was only after they finished eating that the scent of the braised beef gradually dissipated.
Now that Shopkeeper Yan knew where the aroma came from, she was no longer angry but only helplessly apologized to the customers, admitting it was another family cooking and promising to improve their dishes.
As for the people in the courtyard, now with round bellies, they collapsed again in the living room and took a long time before slowly getting up to wash and sleep.
Tonight, it was their first time sleeping in separate rooms, which unusually led them to feel anxious.
Especially Xiao Shan, Xiao Yu, and Fool, who had only just formed a solid bond of friendship, were dismayed by the thought of having to separate one day.
The three of them were unhappy about it.
Bai Junjun had no choice but to squeeze in with them again.
They happily looked at Li Wenli, expecting him to join as well.
Li Wenli repeatedly waved his hands, "Please, I beg you, let me go, I want to sleep alone."
The three continued with teary eyes to plead silently, but Li Wenli abruptly slammed the door shut, mercilessly rejecting them.
Seeing the three saddened by the rejection, Bai Junjun patted their heads, "Fox has been quite gentle already."
Towards enemies, he is someone who kills without batting an eye.
Bai Sasa glanced at her elder sister, surprised that she would speak up for Brother Wenli.
However, the sorrow of Xiao Yu and the others ended the moment they climbed onto their beds. As they lay on the soft bedding, surrounded by a strange yet familiar sensation, they joyfully started rolling around on the beds.
Watching them play with gusto, Bai Sasa cautioned worriedly, "Be careful there, don’t fall off the beds."
"Yes, yes, Sister Shi Yi, don’t worry!" Xiao Yu replied obediently.
"Sister Shi Yi, don’t worry!" Xiao Shan also chimed in with a smile.
"Sister Shi Yi, don’t worry!" even Fool absentmindedly repeated.
Xiao Shan was one thing, but for Fool to also call her Sister Shi Yi, Bai Sasa was speechless.
But what could she do?
Bai Sasa helplessly watched the few brothers, who all had the mental age of a four-year-old, shaking her head as she closed the door for them.
