Chapter 17: Care and Attention

Hearing his father say he shouldn't drink anymore, Yuan Zhaodi was initially a bit stunned, not understanding why he couldn't drink. But after thinking it over for a bit, he understood.

If he were to get drunk and blab about the secret, then there would be no way his family could survive.

The imperial navy disguising themselves as water thieves and massacring Dragon Head Town, there was definitely something hidden behind this.

Most importantly, such matters must not see the light of day.

"Dad, I understand, I won't drink anymore in the future!"

Yuan Zhaodi looked at Old Yuan and whispered, "Dad, in the future, I won't go out to find work, I'll stay at home, farm, and hunt!"

"Good!"

Old Yuan promptly agreed.

Although Yuan Zhaodi could earn Silver by working outside, the problem was, this incident was too big. If he went out to find work, there would inevitably be socializing, and could it be done without drinking?

After Old Yuan and Yuan Zhaodi discussed the matter, he didn't say much else and let Yuan Zhaodi talk to Mrs. Xiao Li.

However, Yuan Zhaodi didn't talk to his wife for long before he quickly fell asleep.

The events of yesterday had frightened him enough, coupled with a night of rushing around in distress, Yuan Zhaodi was truly exhausted.

"Jiaojiao, heaven bless us!"

Watching her man fall asleep, Mrs. Xiao Li held Yuan Bao, not forgetting to thank the heavens.

Yuan Bao was also in a good mood, after all, her cheap dad had returned alive.

Although her cheap dad didn't say much, she vaguely felt there was more underlying the incident. However, she couldn't speak of it; even if there were hidden aspects, she couldn't do anything about it.

Listening to her mother's murmuring, Yuan Bao quickly fell asleep.

As a little child, her body couldn't hold up; sleeping was the right way.

...

When Yuan Bao woke up again, she felt it was really noisy around.

In their yard, quite a few people were talking.

Yuan Zhaodi's safe return had brought all members of the Yuan Family together for a meal.

Besides that, people from Linhe Village also came over, chatting lively.

Upon waking, Yuan Bao felt the hunger in her little belly and directly started crying loudly.

Her mother heard the commotion and quickly appeared.

"Jiaojiao, huh?"

"There, there, don't cry, come now, mommy will feed you milk!"

"Old fourth's, is your milk supply enough?"

While Yuan Bao was enjoying her meal, Mrs. Zeng pushed the door and entered, looking at Mrs. Xiao Li who was feeding Yuan Bao.

Dragon and phoenix twins are certainly a good thing, but one person feeding two babies can easily lead to a shortage of milk.

"Mom, it's enough!"

Mrs. Xiao Li looked at her mother-in-law and replied softly.

"I've made you carp soup, make sure to drink a couple of bowls later."

"Thank you, Mom!"

"We're family, no need for thank-yous!"

Mrs. Zeng waved her hand with a smile, "You're truly a great contributor to the Yuan Family!"

The Yuan Family finally had a baby girl after five generations, Mrs. Xiao Li's contribution to the Yuan Family was no joke.

Moreover, everyone in the Yuan Family now considered Yuan Bao their lucky charm. After all, given what Yuan Zhaodi went through, the fact he returned unharmed was thanks to Yuan Bao's fortune.

"Mom, please don't say that!"

Mrs. Xiao Li hurriedly waved her hand upon hearing Mrs. Zeng's words; she felt unworthy of such a title.

After all, bearing children, they were all Yuan Family kids.

"It's fine, your sisters-in-law think so too."

"In the future, if there's anything, just tell Mom. If the milk is insufficient, we'll stew chicken if needed, eat fish as necessary; after all, you're nursing two babies at once!"
