"There’s more in the kitchen; I’ll go get it now." Feng Caie quickly extended her neck, swallowed the egg, then crammed the remaining half into her mouth before turning to re-enter the kitchen.

However, Gu Yao stepped forward and blocked her way.

"What do you think you’re doing, you little brat? Get out of my way!" Feng Caie glared at him, "Move aside!" She reached out, attempting to push Gu Yao aside.

At that moment, the Feng Family also reacted, hurrying over to pull Gu Yao behind her, since after all, he was a young boy and it wouldn’t look good for him to get into a physical altercation with her, lest they be accused of wrongdoing.

Although Gu Yao was angry, he managed not to lose his reason and obediently stepped back two paces.

The Feng Family faced Feng Caie with a stern look: "Look here, Ruyu’s mother, why exactly did you come here to visit us? If you have something to say, just say it. We’re not familiar enough to help ourselves to each other’s belongings, are we?" How infuriating it was for her to eat the boiled egg prepared for the young master.

"Listen to yourself," Feng Caie rolled her eyes at the Feng Family, "It’s just an egg, you’re being so petty..."

"When you walked in, you should have brought an egg for us to eat too," Gu Yao rolled his eyes.

"We came here to take care of affairs for you; why would we need to bring you eggs?" Feng Caie’s voice suddenly rose.

"Alright, Erni," Yang Baihe waved her hand impatiently, "It’s just an egg. Let’s not eat it for now and get to the point. Did you settle the matter or not? How much is the dowry?" What she truly cared about was Silver; as long as her mother obtained the dowry, most of it would be hers. Then how many eggs couldn’t she have? It’s just Erni who’s so petty.

Upon hearing this, Feng Caie turned and walked over to Yang Anshi’s side. She had eaten the egg, and if the little aunt didn’t eat, then so be it. Oh, how delicious that egg was.

The Feng Family immediately frowned. Coming from a major household, what hadn’t she seen? To be honest, it was in the major households where the real cutthroat schemes took place. These villagers seemed naive to her. Now, watching everyone’s behavior, she had some idea of what was going on.

Gu Qingheng’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile. Based on the dowry Yang Baihe mentioned just now, he had a pretty good guess of the other party’s intention.

Meanwhile, Yang Ruxin was at home cooking, but she faintly heard Feng Caie’s voice. She frowned and called Sanni over: "Why do I hear Erni and company have gone next door? Go and sneakily listen in, find out what’s going on." Knowing Sanni was particularly nosy, she then arranged for her to unabashedly eavesdrop.

"I’ll figure it out for sure." Sanni immediately smiled, took off running, and her previously shivering legs didn’t hurt anymore.

"That girl loves to do this kind of thing," Erni couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t know who she takes after. Look at her, her legs aren’t hurting now, running like the wind..."

"Who cares, as long as Sanni isn’t doing anything sly or mischievous. A bit of a nosy hobby isn’t anything bad." Yang Ruxin said as she put the cut sweet potatoes into the pot, then stirred them a bit and covered the pot with a lid. She instructed Erni, "Turn up the heat until it’s boiling, then let it simmer for a while until soft..." After they ate, she still had to go to town to see Dabao and his sister, and incidentally, she needed to pick up some things as well.

Next door, Yang Anshi, once reminded by her daughter, naturally remembered the important matters at hand. She cleared her throat and put on an air of authority: "Gu Family ah, even though you are newcomers, you’ve lived in the village for two years now, and we have accepted you into our community..." She made it sound as though she herself had done the accepting.
