“If the adults aren’t here, then who cooked the meal?” the woman asked in surprise.

Shen Mo had already guessed that it was very likely Jiang Xia had taken the initiative to start cooking. He hurried over to check if she had burnt herself.

Seeing Shen Mo hurry over, Jiang Xia thought he was too cold and eager to come in to warm up, so she obediently stepped back to let him through the door.

Shen Mo paused for a moment at her step back.

Then Jiang Xia said, “It’s warmer away from the door; you all come in and wait.” The latter part of the sentence was directed at the woman who had followed Shen Mo here and was still standing at the door.

Shen Mo’s hand, which he intended to check on her with, froze mid-air and he awkwardly withdrew it, walking helplessly into the house.

The woman, with a knowing “I understand” auntie smile, also followed inside.

Jiang Chuan’s affairs were not a secret in the village, and Tian Zao had heard about them long ago. Now, seeing the decorations in the family’s house and the rich dishes, she knew this family was living better and better.

But she had always had reservations about Jiang Chuan and had been instilled with a seed of suspicion by Wang Xing, believing that Jiang Chuan’s good life was due to clandestine dealings with the former chief captain, conspiring to embezzle the village’s money. Otherwise, how could it be possible to leave the old Jiang family with nothing and be so well-off in just half a year?

The house was spacious, with each of the two daughters having their own room, better even than where the village chief lived.

Tian Zao had walked around the village that day and found that most of the villagers’ houses had just two rooms and a big yard. If several generations lived together, the house might be a bit larger, with four or five rooms, but still, families would be crammed into one room.

Even the village chief’s slightly more spacious big house was nothing compared to the Jiang’s ability to provide one room per person.

Tian Zao thought for a moment. Children are the least deceptive, and since Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan were not around, she might as well try to find out the truth from Jiang Xia.

“Your name is Jiang Xia, right?”

Jiang Xia answered obediently,” Yes, Captain.”

Tian Zao was taken aback that she recognized her as the chief captain and thought this young girl was indeed smart. At such a young age, she was already so observant, surely knowing what to say and what not to say, so Tian Zao gave up the idea of questioning Jiang Xia.

At that moment, she was suddenly distracted by the sound of a growling stomach, and immediately turned her attention to the owner of the belly, Jiang Gu.
