Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 636 - Chapter 636 Chapter 636 Slaughter Pig

Chapter 636: Chapter 636 Slaughter Pig Chapter 636: Chapter 636 Slaughter Pig Chuner walked into the yard listlessly with Little Tiger trailing behind her.

“Chuner, come here, sister has scooped up your favorite millet porridge for you.” Xuexue placed a bowl of millet porridge on the table and turned her head to call out to Chuner.

Madam Xie noticed her unhappy face and laughed, “You little girl, who has upset you again? Were you arguing with Xiao Gougou?”

Chuner sat down at the table without any energy, “Xiao Gougou always lets me have my way. He would never argue with me.”

“Then why the long face?”

“Sister is leaving in a couple of days, and Chuner feels sad.”

Situ Yongjie, who sat at the table next to them, lifted his head upon hearing this and said, “What’s there to be sad about? If you miss Xuexue, you can follow her to the Capital. The General’s Mansion is so big, it’s not like we can’t support you.”

Upon hearing this, joy lit up Chuner’s face. She skipped breakfast entirely and ran excitedly to Situ Yongjie, “General Uncle, can my mother and I really go with you to the Capital? Chuner has grown up so big, yet I still don’t know what the Capital looks like!”

The county magistrate at the side was extremely envious, thinking to himself that the little girl was quite shrewd to manage to get the General to take them to the Capital. He’d been accompanying the General for many days, and he still didn’t know if he could get a promotion. His heart was in turmoil, but such a sensitive topic was not something he dared to voice, so he could only keep it bottled up inside.

“You all are Xuexue’s dearest ones, of course you can,” Situ Yongjie nodded, as if to say that as long as his daughter was happy, anything was possible.

“Wow! General Uncle, you’re the best.” Chuner jumped excitedly and rushed to Xuexue’s side, “Sister, Sister, did you hear that? General Uncle said that Chuner and mother can go with you to the Capital. Our family doesn’t have to separate, which is great.”

The General’s Mansion might seem like an unscalable fortress with its high walls and vast estate, but behind it lay deadly perils, especially after returning to the mansion, one would need to tread carefully. One careless step could lead to falling into the traps set by Lady Tang and her daughter, repeating the tragedy of her previous life.

Xuexue actually didn’t want her foster mother and Chuner to risk following her, but since Situ Yongjie had personally promised, it seemed improper for her to go back on her word. She decided to play it by ear.

“Does Chuner really want to go to the Capital that much?”

“I just want to be by sister’s side. I hope our family can always be together and never be apart.” Chuner tilted her head and thought for a moment before giving her earnest reply.

“Well then, if you want to go, let’s go,” decided Xuexue, reasoning that since Chuner wanted to go so badly, she might as well let her. Once settled in the Capital, she could move them out of the General’s Mansion. As long as they stayed away from Lady Tang and her daughter, it would be much safer.

Chuner happily hopped around, “Mother, Mother, did you hear? We can go to the Capital with sister.”

Madam Xie also smiled; today was her happiest day in many days, “Mother’s ears aren’t deaf, how could I not hear! Come over and have breakfast. Once you’re done, go back to your room to see what things need to be packed.”

“Yes!” Chuner was overjoyed. She cradled a bowl of millet porridge and slurped it noisily.

At the ancestral hall,

In front of the door, lined up in a row, were more than a dozen large pots, with several men busy constructing temporary stoves.

Not far away, a group of villagers was bustling about, chopping and mincing vegetables in preparation for the banquet. The people of Mo Family Village were not to be underestimated; dozens of them would be busy all day. However, they were quite content, as they were paid for their work and provided with meals.

Today was the first day of the communal feast, and they would miss lunch, but they could still catch the dinner in the evening.

They had a clear division of labor: some were chopping meat, others were picking vegetables, with individuals assigned to slaughtering chickens and pigs. Everyone was busy, but their faces were filled with smiles and an air of celebration.
