The sound of slippers on the floor could be heard.

The wooden door was opened.

An honest-looking middle-aged farmer looked at Chu Yuan, who was covered in dirt. Although he was somewhat confused, he still said, “Quick, come in.”

“You’re the Chu family’s eldest, right? Your family has done a great deed today! Cao Xing has finally been brought down; we have hope for our future. Your family is the benefactor of our entire Laoshan village!” the honest farmer said excitedly, looking at Chu Yuan with emotion.

“Huh?” Chu Yuan looked at the farmer in bewilderment. He could not understand what he was saying.

But at this moment, his stomach let out a rumble.

He immediately lowered his head in embarrassment.

“This…” Just as the farmer was about to ask Chu Yuan if it was possible he didn’t know what had happened in the morning, he heard the other party’s stomach growling.

In an instant, he seemed to have understood something.

Knocking on the door at this time of the day with his stomach groaning, wasn’t it just to get some food?

“Just wait. Although I, Xu An, am poor, I will not let your Chu family go hungry!” After saying that, the kind and upright farmer got up and walked to another room. He said to his wife, “Someone from the Chu family has come to our house and hasn’t had dinner yet. Go quickly and kill the fattest hen in our house. Then, cook a few dishes and a pot of rice. Go quickly!”

Xu An loudly urged his wife.

In fact, they didn’t have a lot of rice at home. Rice was usually mixed with coarse grain, or they would only eat rice directly when they were sick and had a bad appetite.

As for hens, they were even more of a production tool.

Hens could produce eggs every day, and the eggs could be sold for money to support the household. When Xu An heard that the person who had come was from the Chu family, he did not hesitate to kill a hen.

It was as though their family only had a hundred yuan, but they were willing to spend more than half on Chu Yuan.

“Alright, I’ll go now!” His wife did not have any objections.

“Brother Xu, you don’t have to be so polite. I just want to eat my fill. You don’t have to trouble yourself!” Chu Yuan spoke with some embarrassment, looking at Xu An, who had returned.

His face was flushed.

Although he didn’t understand why the couple was so courteous to him, he was sure it wasn’t because of him.

He had already disturbed their rest at night, and now he had to trouble them to prepare a sumptuous meal for him. Chu Yuan was a little flustered.

These things were nothing in M City and could be obtained with just a hundred yuan.

However, in the deep mountains, it was a luxury to be able to have a full meal every day!

Chu Yuan had lived in the mountains when he was young, so he undoubtedly knew the living conditions of the people here.

Most of the time, they would only kill the young roosters during major festivals. As for production tools like hens, it was only for a seriously ill patient or for their savior.

He, Chu Yuan, was not qualified to be received by this family with such high standards of etiquette.

“Brother Chu, don’t say anymore. Although I’m poor, I’m reasonable. If it wasn’t for what your Chu family did today, our lives wouldn’t be any better in the future! Today, you can eat and drink well so that I can be more at ease.” Xu An waved his hand, indicating that Chu Yuan need not stand on ceremony.

With that, he stood up and made a cup of hot tea for Chu Yuan, respectfully bringing it to Chu Yuan with both hands.

Chu Yuan’s face turned even redder.

At the same time, he felt a burning pain.

He’d always looked down on Chu Ming, but now, when he was starving, someone was being nice to him because of Chu Ming and his family’s kindness.

“Actually, even if that didn’t happen, we would have prepared food for you if you came to our house. When I was young, I was also indebted to your father. Uncle Chu Jinng is a good person. When I was young, I got lost in the mountains because I wanted to play. I couldn’t find my way home even when it became dark.

“Just when I was in despair, it was your father who followed the trail and brought me back. If it hadn’t been for him, I might have been eaten by the wild beasts on the mountain… Before my parents passed away, they also mentioned Uncle Chu Jinng. They said that besides his second son who returns yearly, he was lonely without his other children by his side. They asked me to take care of him. After all, it was Uncle Chu Jinng who gave me a second chance at life in that situation.”
