‘He Yufeng explained dryly, “I didn’t!”

Su Li snorted. “It’s best if you don’t.”

Even if he did, he had to keep it in his stomach and not make a sound. She would was not someone he could provoke as he pleased.

He Yufeng lay on the bed, feeling helpless. Now, he only hoped that he could stand up quickly and not be tortured by this woman again.

The next day, Su Li made scallion oil noodles for breakfast.

A fragrance wafted out from the dilapidated house.

Chen Xiang was cooking, but when she smelled the fragrance coming from next door, she could not help but swallow her saliva.

Being Su Li’s neighbor was too painful. She would be tortured by the fragrance every day.

He Mingshan sniffed and said, “Mother, what did Auntie Su cook again? I’m so hungry!”

Chen Xiang said, “Mother is cooking now. I’ll be done in a while.”

He Mingshan pursed his lips. His mother’s cooking was not as good as Auntie Su’s. He wanted to eat Auntie Su’s cooking.

Madam Luo also smelled the fragrance and cursed Su Li.

“Why is she making these things so early in the morning? Are you preparing to hold a banquet after someone died in the family?”

“Eat, eat. Eat well and go reincarnate.”

Madam Luo’s scolding was not loud, so no one other than her family heard it. What others thought did not affect Su Li at all. She continued to do the work in her hands.

Riceball also stayed by Su Li’s side and kept wagging its tail.

Su Li looked down at it. “Are you hungry?”

Riceball wagged its tail vigorously. Su Li was a little worried that its tail would break.

The noodles were ready very quickly. Su Li scooped a bowl for He Yufeng and the rest first. She left the portion for Riceball at one side.

He Yufeng looked at the plain noodles in front of him and was a little dissatisfied. Why did he have to eat so painly when they were having such a delicious one?

Could it be that this woman was deliberately taking revenge on him?

Su Li saw through his thoughts and said, “This is all you can eat now. If you don’t think about recovering, I’ll give you chili.”

He Yufeng defended himself. “I didn’t say anything.”

Su Li glanced at him and said, “You didn’t say it, but it’s already written on your face.

He Yufeng could not help but reach out to touch his face. Was his expression so obvious?

“Open your mouth.” Su Li brought the noodles to He Yufeng’s mouth.

He Yufeng’s waist was also injured. He could not get up for the next few days. He had to be in bed to eat, drink, and poop.

When Su Li was not at home, the two children fed him. The children were hungry today, so she let them eat first while she fed He Yufeng.

He Yufeng opened his mouth and ate the noodles. He had to admit that Su Li’s culinary skills were really good. This bowl of noodles that looked really plain was filled with fragrance.

He Yufeng ate very quickly and finished the noodles in a short while. Su Li fed him some more broth.

“Do you want more?” Su Li asked.

He Yufeng shook his head. “I’m full.”

Only then did Su Li pick up her portion and eat it. Riceball was anxiously pacing around her feet.

“Wait a minute. Yours isn’t cold yet.”

Riceball sat on the ground and looked at Su Li eagerly, looking like he was waiting to be fed.

Su Li was helpless. She poured the Riceball’s portion into its bowl. “Eat!”

Cheng Yu took a look. Dogs were doing better than humans now. He had to admit that this dog really knew how to choose its master. There were so many families in the village, but it chose Su Li’s family.

Chen Xiang happened to see this scene when she came to work. She felt terrible.

“Sister, why did you give such a good thing to a dog?”

Feeding noodles to the dogs? This was simply a wasting precious resource!

Su Li looked up and saw Chen Xiang’s shocked face. She explained, “There’s nothing Riceball can eat at home, so I cooked an extra portion for it when I was cooking noodles.”

The corners of Chen Xiang’s mouth twitched. Why would they have to care for the beast when the humans are not even fed yet?

There were not many people in the village who raised dogs. No matter how badly they were fed, they still needed food, so no one would raise a dog for no reason.

It was fine if one raised dogs, but they could just find something to feed it. How would someone be like Su Li and cook noodles to feed it directly?

This was not raising a dog. This was simply raising an ancestor.

Seeing Su Li’s indifferent expression, Chen Xiang couldn’t say anything else. After all, this was Su Li’s family’s matter. If she said too much, she would be despised.

When she returned home yesterday, there was not even a strand of dog fur in Su Li’s courtyard. It had only been a night, but not only had there been an extra dog, but the dog had also eaten something she wanted to eat but could not!

Su Li patted Riceball’s head. “It followed me back from town. It’s such a long journey. I don’t know how it found its way to my home.”

Chen Xiang looked at Riceball who was eating and drinking and said, “Then are you planning to keep it?”

Su Li nodded. “Riceball is very smart. It’s not bad to raise him to guard the house.”

After raising it for a night, she had developed feelings for it. She could earn money, so she could still afford to raise a dog.

Chen Xiang opened her mouth. She originally thought that Su Li was feeding it on a whim. She did not expect her to really plan to raise it for a long time.

According to Su Li’s way of raising the dog, there would not be enough food at home.

After a while, Zhou Yu arrived.

She also saw Riceball eating noodles. Her expression was even more interesting than Chen Xiang’s just now.

“Is that noodles in the bowl?” Zhou Yu was not sure what she saw, so she asked Chen Xiang for confirmation.

Chen Xiang nodded and gave Zhou Yu an affirmative answer. “Yes, that’s noodles.”

Zhou Yu felt dizzy. She grabbed Chen Xiang’s arm and said, “Help me up. I feel like I can’t take it anymore!”

Seeing that Zhou Yu’s expression was not good, Su Li asked with concern,

“Auntie, are you alright?”

Zhou Yu waved his hand. “It’s fine. I just can’t recover from this instantly!”

“Su Li, it’s not that I’m nosy, but how can you feed the dog noodles? You can just find something else for it to eat! These days, many people can’t afford to even eat noodles!”

Su Li said, “It’s fine. I’ll earn money to raise it. Besides, it doesn’t eat much!”

Zhou Yu was speechless.

Were that talking about the same matter?

Forget it, forget it. One could do anything when she is rich!

Seeing that they could not persuade Su Li, Zhou Yu and Chen Xiang decided not to. After all, the dog was not eating their family’s food.

However, the noodles smelled so good. It was a pity to let a dog eat something that they could not even eat at home.

Zhou Yu sighed in Chen Xiang’s ear. “The world has really changed. Even dogs can eat the top tier food.”

The corners of Chen Xiang’s mouth twitched as she said, “Maybe there’s something special about that dog!”

If it was not outstanding, how could it be so doted on?

Zhou Yu glanced at Riceball, who was engrossed in eating, and said, “I don’t see anything outstanding about it, but it looks like it can eat quite a lot.”

Riceball tilted his head and glanced at them. He didn’t feel the malice from them and lowered his head to continue eating..
