“Godmother, this is Ye Ling, a knowledgeable young woman who just moved to our village from the neighboring village.” Min Nan briefly introduced the two of them.

“Hello, Auntie,” Ye Ling said politely.

“Hello, hello.” Sun Li couldn’t stop smiling. “Please have a seat. Lingling, I assume you haven’t had dinner yet. Stay and have a meal at Auntie’s place. I made steamed meat buns today, they’re delicious!”

In this era, wheat flour was not cheap, and meat was considered a luxury. It wasn’t a special occasion today, yet Sun Li’s family could afford to eat meat-filled buns. This indicated that their family had good financial conditions.

Ye Ling felt a little embarrassed. It was her first time visiting Min Nan’s house, and she thought it wouldn’t be appropriate to stay and eat. “No need, Auntie. I’ll go back and have my meal.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Li became anxious instantly. She turned her head and gave Min Nan a meaningful look, urging him to persuade Ye Ling.

“It’s fine, stay at our place for dinner. Today, you saved someone in our village, and this meal is our village’s way of expressing gratitude to you.” Under Sun Li’s urging gaze, Min Nan quickly found an excuse.

“Saved someone? What happened?” Sun Li looked at Min Nan in confusion, then at Ye Ling.

“Godmother, please bring out the first aid kit. Ye Ling injured her hand, and I’ll explain to you later.”

Sun Li immediately nodded. “Alright, I’ll go get it.”

Since Sun Li had three sons, each mischievous in their way, it was common for them to get injured. That’s why they always kept some medicine at home.

After retrieving the first aid kit, Ye Ling noticed that Min Nan had opened a medicine bottle and was seemingly about to apply the medicine to her personally. She quickly said, “I can do it myself!”

Min Nan hesitated for a moment, feeling a bit embarrassed. He rarely had conversations with people of the opposite sex, let alone physical contact with girls.

“No need, let Min Nan apply the medicine for you. Both of your hands have injuries, so it’s not convenient,” Sun Li suddenly chimed in, pushing Min Nan lightly. “Hurry up, can’t you see how deep Lingling’s wound is?”

Min Nan realized that his godmother must have done it intentionally. She knew very well that Ye Ling could handle the simple task of treating the wound, yet she deliberately didn’t mention it.

Min Nan looked at Ye Ling awkwardly. “I’ll do it.”

Ye Ling was too embarrassed to say anything else at this moment. If she continued to insist, it would only make her seem pretentious. She could only stretch out her hands.

Ye Ling’s hand was very beautiful. It was fair and supple, and her knuckles were long and slender, but her joints were not obvious. At first glance, it was very soft, making one think of some kind of fragrant and soft pastry.

Min Nan glanced at her hands. His heart, which had just calmed down, started to waver again.

“Why is the wound so deep?” Sun Li exclaimed from the side.

As Min Nan tended to Ye Ling’s injury, he explained to Sun Li how Ye Ling had saved someone.

After listening, Sun Li looked at Ye Ling in astonishment. “Lingling, thanks to you, otherwise Xiao Hu might not have been saved! Are you a doctor?”

Ye Ling shyly smiled, “I’m not a doctor. I’ve just always watched my grandfather and mother treat illnesses and save people.”

“What do you call that… It’s called cultivation!” Sun Li pondered for a moment, then proudly came up with a cultured word. After feeling pleased for a while, she suddenly slapped her forehead. “I almost forgot, I haven’t cooked the millet porridge yet. You two continue talking, the meal will be ready soon!”

As Sun Li left, Min Nan instantly felt a sense of nervousness and unease.

When there were three people, he didn’t have to face Ye Ling alone. Now that Sun Li had left, it was just the two of them. What should he say?

Sun Li went to the kitchen, washed the millet, and put it in a pot, then covered it with a lid.

Afterward, she fetched a small stool and sat in a rather tricky position that allowed her to have a clear view of Min Nan.

Sun Li’s eyes sparkled as she observed Min Nan, and various thoughts sprang up in her mind.

How far had their relationship progressed? It seemed they weren’t very familiar with each other.

Sun Li also recalled how Min Nan hurriedly left after hearing Wan Feng’s words yesterday. Now that she thought about it, she immediately understood what was going on.

Just as Min Nan was treating the wound on Ye Ling’s hand, two tall men and a shorter boy walked in. They were Sun Li’s three sons.

As the three of them were about to enter, Sun Li pulled them aside into the corridor. She made a gesture for them to remain silent, then pointed mysteriously at the room and whispered, “You can go in later.”

The three of them were extremely puzzled. Wan Feng immediately leaned against the window, trying to catch a glimpse of the scene inside through the gap.

Wan Xue, who was curious but not tall enough, couldn’t see what was happening inside even if he jumped up. He anxiously tugged at his older brother’s arm and asked, “Brother, what did you see?”
