The next morning, Chloe was awakened by a burst of fragrance.
Amelia opened the pickle jar and fished out the pickled wild vegetables.
After putting them in a pot of boiling water for a moment, she immediately fished them out. Then, she put in minced garlic, scallions, celery, and cauliflower.
She added a few drops of oil and stir-fried the bean paste over and over. When she took it out out of the pot, she added a little rice vinegar and poured it into the plate of wild vegetables.
With a sizzling sound, the oil stimulated the fragrance of the wild vegetables.
An indescribable sour and spicy smell filled the entire room.
Chloe cultivated for a while after the adults fell asleep last night. Her five senses were much better than that of an ordinary baby.
When she was carried to the table by Hazel, she saw a few male members of the Jones family were sipping the porridge with the wild vegetables at the side.
The freshly made corn pancakes were yellowish, and the edges were a little crispy.
Chloe could not stop her saliva from dripping down.
Hazel could only put her in Emma’s room with an embarrassed expression.
“Sister-In-Law, I’ll have to trouble you today.”
Emma grinned. “What are you saying, Eldest Sister-In-Law? Isn’t your child like my own daughter?”
Chloe could only drink her milk in grief and indignation, praying that she could grow up quickly.
When all the laborers in the family went out to work, Amelia also came to Emma’s room.
“How was your day? Did you feel unwell?”
Emma hugged a child in each hand and said softly, “Mother, I’m fine. I’ll be able to go to work after lying down for another two days.”
Amelia glared at her. “You had just given birth a few days ago and you already want to work? Why? Do think the Jones family has mistreated you?”
Emma hurriedly explained, “It’s nothing. I’m just used to it. It’s not comfortable lying in bed.”
The Jones family was too poor, but they were all honest people. They were afraid that resting for two more days would add more burden to the family.
Amelia sighed in her heart and took Chloe from Emma’s arms.
“Rest for a few more days. I went to the back of the house just now to take a look. The old hen laid a few more eggs today. I’ll make you some soup for lunch.”
Before Emma could refuse, Amelia carried Chloe out.
Innate Qi was indeed useful. After cultivating last night, Yue Qingqing found that her progress was progressing at a rapid pace.
At the moment, she could see the luck of ordinary people clearly with her eyes.
Amelia’s body was covered in an orange-yellow layer, like the morning sun, looking very comfortable.
Seeing the little kid’s big round eyes staring at her without blinking, Amelia could not help but reveal a smile.
However, the smile disappeared after seeing Ethan.
“Stop, where are you going?!”
Ethan, who was about to sneak out of the house, stopped in his tracks and quickly put on an obedient and sensible look.
“Mom, I’ll go to our land and see if I can help.”
“Really?” Amelia narrowed her eyes.
Ethan was a posthumous child and a premature baby. His two brothers and one sister had taken care of him since he was young.
Due to his weak body, he could not do the hard work of farming normally. Instead, he liked to fish by the river and set up traps at the back of the mountain to catch birds and rabbits.
However, the reason why the villagers did not go to the back of the mountain was that the area was too desolate and had never been developed before. There were often large ferocious beasts coming down to look for food.
Only someone like Yue Jiannan who did not know the immensity of Heaven and Earth liked to go there.
Ethan was terrified when he saw his mother’s expression. He quickly promised, “It’s true. I’m already grown up. I have to do something for my family.”
Amelia’s expression became better. “Go. Come back soon.”
Ethan was just about to leave after receiving the pardon when the girl in Amelia’s arms suddenly started crying.
The heart-wrenching sound almost made Ethan fall.
“Mom… What’s going on?”
Chloe howled as she stared at Ethan.
No one could see it but Chloe could see it clearly.
Ethan’s body was shrouded in a black fog. The ink color was so thick that it made people panic.
This was a bad omen. As long as Yue Jiannan stepped out of this door, he would definitely not return!
