Yang Chuxia laughed out loud, pointing at Ye Zi’an and laughing heartily, "Brother An, have you had enough to eat?"
"I’m not full yet, would you like me to eat some more?" Ye Zi’an asked with a sly smile.
"Eat, eat, eat," Yang Xiayun, pulling Linyu along, ran over, also clapping her little hands in encouragement.
Yang Chuxia smacked her little hand, "You naughty girl, what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping? Why are you sneaking around?"
"Sister, you’re being unreasonable!" the little girl spread her hands out, "You are talking outside my window, and I’m not allowed to listen?"
"Uh" Yang Chuxia took a look and indeed they were, now this was embarrassing.
"Brother Zi’an, why won’t you eat when you’re hungry? Can kisses fill your stomach?" The two sisters were chatting on one side.
Meanwhile, the young Linyu was already pulling at Ye Zi’an with tons of questions.
Yang Chuxia lifted her head and saw Ye Zi’an, not knowing where to put his embarrassed gaze.
"Brother Zi’an, why won’t you answer me?" Linyu pulled at him again.
"Linyu, come over here!" Yang Chuxia beckoned to her upon seeing this.
"Sister Xiaxia" Linyu turned around and stood in front of Yang Chuxia, calling out in her childlike voice.
Yang Chuxia sighed internally, there was no way to explain this to these kids, so she had to change the subject, "Linyu, do you want to hear a story?"
"A story? What kind of story? A story about kissing?"
"Uh" Yang Chuxia was at a loss for words, these little brats were surprisingly interested in the topic. "No, do you want me to tell the story of Snow White, there was once a very beautiful princess..."
After one story, it seemed that the two children’s attention had indeed shifted.
"Sis, tell us another one, please?" Yang Xiayun was pestering her.
"No, it’s late now, I’ll tell you another one tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiayun tugged on Linyu’s arm, "Linyu, let’s go back. We have to give my sister time to think up another story. My sister is very slow! I bet she can’t come up with a story right now."
"Oh", having said that, the two children hand in hand went back into the house.
Yang Chuxia, annoyed, glared at them in the rear, she put up with these incorrigible kids and they had the audacity to call her stupid after getting a story?
Ye Zi’an, standing behind her, just lowered his head, smiling gently.
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia glared fiercely, "What’s so funny? All this is your fault! Hurry up and go to sleep. If you don’t properly send Qingrui and the others to school tomorrow, I’ll sort you out."
"Yes, madam! I promise I’ll get it done!" With that, Ye Zi’an left too, leaving a disheveled Yang Chuxia standing alone in the wind.
Ye Zi’an took Yang Qingtong and Yang Qingrui to school. Linyu originally wanted to make a fuss about going too, but now that she had resumed her female identity, she couldn’t go to school anymore.
As for Yang Chuxia, she had gone to the town early in the morning with others.
Some of the ingredients had already been purchased by Fugui and his party, but she still had to go buy something else- liquor. She basically used two kinds of alcohol for marinating drunken crabs, one kind for sealing and the other for adding internally. However, she had to go buy some other kinds, such as top scholar wine and girl wine, since Yang Aoshuang was interested in developing drunken crab too. She intended to confuse Yang Aoshuang.
She reckons that Yang Aoshuang would just buy some ready-to-eat crabs from the town and have them studied, and there’s no way to get hold of the authentic recipe.
Their crabs are made in a divided labor process, each person’s steps are different. Even if one person betrayed her, it wouldn’t matter. She just told Qingyou to keep extra watch recently, just in case of desperate measures.
