“Cough cough-”

Yan Zhigao entered the main room. The previously jovial mother and her three children suddenly fell silent, all turning to look at him.

“Dad, why did you come here? Didn’t you go to Shuangxin Courtyard?”

Yan Wenkai had always spoken his mind. Seeing Yan Zhigao, he blurted out the question.

At these words, Yan Zhigao, who was about to sit down, showed an uncomfortable look on his face. Had he not known his son’s nature, he might have thought the boy was teasing him.

Glancing at his surprised wife and eldest son, he realized that he might have neglected the main courtyard somewhat usually.

Yan Wenxiu shot Yan Wenkai a glare, signaling him to stop speaking out of

turn.

Yan Wenkai pursed his lips, feeling curious. His father rarely came to the main courtyard for meals. This evening, his grandmother had asked everyone to eat in their respective rooms, so he naturally assumed his father would go to Shuangxin Courtyard.

Now that he saw him in the main courtyard, couldn’t he even ask a question?

Daohua, standing to the side, caught sight of her brothers’ interaction and lowered her head to suppress a laugh.

Her little brother was indeed adorably straightforward!

Madam Li smiled and added a set of chopsticks and a bowl for Yan Zhigao, asking, “Master, you didn’t eat at the old lady’s place?”

Yan Zhigao shook his head, his heart feeling a bit stifled as he recalled the old lady waving him away.

In the past, the old lady would never have treated him like this. She would have given him all the best things she could offer.

But now, after his return, he clearly felt that he was no longer the most important in the old lady’s heart. Now, it was his eldest daughter who was the old lady’s darling.

If he, as a father, said a few words about his daughter, the old lady would chide him for a long while.

Yan Zhigao glanced at Daohua and intended to reprimand her, but recalling the old lady’s words, he didn’t utter a sound. Because of this, his expression somewhat darkened.

Seeing that the master of the house held back from criticizing his daughter, Madam Li breathed a heavy sigh of relief and kept signaling her daughter with her eyes, “Daohua, quickly serve your father some of the soybean and pig’s trotter soup you made.”

Daohua, receiving the instruction, didn’t dawdle and confidently stood up to fill a bowl to the brim with pig’s trotter soup for Yan Zhigao, “Father, please enjoy.”

Yan Zhigao took a glance at his eldest daughter, who was beaming with a smile. Unable to say the words of censure he had intended, he merely grunted in acknowledgment and began sipping the soup.

Once he started, he couldn’t stop.

“This soup was made by Daohua?”

Madam Li nodded with a smile, “Isn’t it just? Aside from the pig’s trotters which were prepared with help from a cook in the kitchen, everything else was personally crafted by Daohua.”

Yan Zhigao looked at his daughter in surprise, “Daohua, your cooking skills are quite good.”

Daohua humbly said, “Grandmother and my third aunt taught me well.” Mainly it was because the soybeans from the space were of excellent quality.

Yan Zhigao then asked, “Did you send some of this soup to your grandmother’s too?”

Madam Li replied, “We couldn’t leave out the old lady. As soon as the soup was ready, Daohua sent some over there, and to the second and third branches as well.”

Yan Zhigao was about to ask if Shuangxin Courtyard had received any, but then he remembered that it hadn’t been long since Daohua arrived and had already had several conflicts with that side. He swallowed back the question.

Yan Wenkai had consumed three bowls of pig’s trotter soup in quick succession and was just about to help himself to another when Madam Li rapped his knuckles.

“If you drink any more, you’ll have indigestion tonight.”

Yan Wenkai reluctantly peered into his soup bowl but then turned to Daohua, “Big sister, can you make this soup again tomorrow?”

Daohua shook her head without even thinking, “I have to attend class tomorrow, and I have homework after that, I won’t have time.” The ingredients from the space were limited, she couldn’t afford to let such a large family eat them every day.

Besides, she was somewhat reluctant. The energy the space operated on was hard-won, collected by herself. It was one thing to share with those who were kind to her, but there were some in the family who were not so friendly towards her, and she certainly didn’t want to give them such benefits at her expense.

Hearing this, everyone at the table felt a bit disappointed.
