These chicks can’t handle being squeezed; they feel pain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do they feel pain too?\" Li Jing was incredulous, eyes wide, turning to look at Li Yuzhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course they do. Didn’t it keep chirping when you were holding it just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it didn’t cry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu, \"...\" Deep breath! This is my nephew, by blood, don’t get angry, \"Chicks don’t cry, they chirp. If they’re unhappy, they chirp non-stop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xing’an wasn’t as patient as Li Yuzhu in explaining.

It’s the same with chicks. You squeeze them, they feel pain but can’t talk, so they chirp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing blinked, \"Then I won’t squeeze them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good boy, Jingjing.\" Li Yuzhu smiled and patted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a big fuss over nothing just to tell off a child? Look how scared Jingjing is!\" The Xue Family came over, pulling her son along, \"Are chicks more important than Jingjing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, sister-in-law...\" Li Xing’an was unhappy, \"These cost money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much are they worth?\" The Xue Family snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu said, \"True, they’re not worth much, but if you’re hungry, sister-in-law, don’t complain there’s not enough food at home.

You go cook.\" The Princess Consort Luling waved at the Xue Family, taking Li Jing away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xue Family grumbled in complaint, heading to the stove outside the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though cooking could be annoying, the sight of ample food put the Xue Family in a pretty good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she didn’t like killing chickens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plucking feathers and removing innards—it was a tedious task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third brother, I can’t kill a chicken. You do it.\" The Xue Family picked up a big rooster, calling out to Li Xing’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xing’an picked up a hatchet and headed down the mountain, \"It’s still early, I’m going down to help a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xue Family looked toward Li Yuzhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu was seated on a rock, applying medicine to her foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed she could not rely on this sister-in-law either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xue Family cursed silently under her breath, relenting to prepare the dinner alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Princess Consort Luling, fearing she might slack off, would occasionally stroll over to check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xue Family simmered with hatred but dared not speak against the Princess Consort Luling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sun set in the forest, Prince Luling returned with his children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanying them was Mu Yuanxiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Mu Yuanxiu’s hand was a chunk of skinned meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Luling laughed from afar, \"Look at our neighbor, so polite! Inviting him to dinner, he even brought rabbit meat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder it looked familiar; it was skinned and gutted rabbit meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indeed generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu nodded, \"Father, we have dishes at home. Sister-in-law killed a chicken, and there are other dishes too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, with so much food, why so courteous bringing meat?\" Prince Luling smiled, patting Mu Yuanxiu’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xue Family had been craving rabbit meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rabbit Li Yuzhu caught last time only allowed her to drink soup without giving her any meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d been longing for it; who knew she’d see rabbit meat today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how to cook the rabbit meat to make it tastier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xing’an and the Second Young Master both glanced at Mu Yuanxiu suspiciously, thinking his unsolicited help wasn’t without ulterior motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cook everything else as usual, I’ll roast the rabbit meat myself,\" Mu Yuanxiu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Luling laughed heartily, \"Our young neighbor, you truly are capable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Princess nibbled her lip, \"Neighbor, did you bring cumin powder? Roasting rabbit meat with cumin powder is best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu almost laughed out of exasperation, did the Second Princess think they were still in the Capital?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second sister, cumin powder, such a rare seasoning, can only be found in the city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brought a little,\" Mu Yuanxiu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Princess clapped her hands in delight, \"Wow, Mu Neighbor, you’re amazing, bringing cumin powder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Princess rolled her eyes, \"Look at you, you’re beaming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adding cumin doesn’t taste good,\" Li Xing’an snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve always disliked the taste of cumin,\" added the Second Young Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? But I like it.\" The Second Princess sighed, \"Then how should we roast it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Half with cumin, half without,\" Mu Yuanxiu suggested, \"I’ll split the rabbit meat in halves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Princess was joyful, \"Alright, alright, that’s a great idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many dishes for dinner, everyone pitched in to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Princely Heir helped the Xue Family wash and cut vegetables, while Li Xing’an assisted in carrying firewood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Princess excitedly watched Mu Yuanxiu roast the rabbit meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing brought a small tree stump, sitting nearby watching intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From time to time, he’d sniffle, \"Is it done yet? Is it done yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuanxiu glanced at him, smiling wryly, \"Still a while to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh...\" Li Jing sighed, acting almost grown-up, \"My little aunt says she’s hungry and wants to eat rabbit meat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu, \"...\" When did I say that? This little rascal! \"Jingjing, children who lie will grow long noses, you know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was so scared he immediately reached out, pressing down firmly on his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuanxiu watched him, lips curving into a smile, though his gaze held concealed worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an adorable child, just please... please have a happy ending!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After over half an hour, the rabbit meat was finally roasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two halves of rabbit meat were taken down by Mu Yuanxiu and placed in a large clay basin on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One half had cumin, the other did not; the aroma filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the Xue Family and the Princely Heir had also finished preparing the meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The table was laden with a feast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a big pot of chicken stew with red dates, roasted rabbit meat, stir-fried cabbage, and stir-fried beans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already dark by then, everyone sat around the table by the light of the campfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had a small bowl of rice before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one started eating, waiting instead for Mu Yuanxiu to portion out the rabbit meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xue Family suddenly found the chicken soup less appealing, eyeing the rabbit meat eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Luling eyed the rabbit’s hind leg but felt too embarrassed to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Mu Yuanxiu seemingly read his mind, using a little knife to cut a fat hind leg, placing it in Prince Luling’s bowl, \"Uncle Li, have it first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other hind leg was given to the Princess Consort Luling, \"Auntie’s turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A front leg for the Princely Heir, \"Brother Li.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other one was given to Li Yuzhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu raised an eyebrow at him, so generous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else looked envious, but nothing could be done, for the rabbit only had four legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Luling laughed, \"This child, hahahaha, well, Yuanxiu, living alone in the mountains must be lonely, you must come to visit often!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1258,"2026-06-03T14:18:47.883Z",1,"novelbin.me","25b4a2f53b3c99a8abbdd9bf78a0bbe2cdd8c2be0636af643b60885932b2acdc","exile-with-storage-space-family-fortunes-in-the--chapter-106","exile-with-storage-space-family-fortunes-in-the--chapter-104",912,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fexile-with-storage-space-family-fortunes-in-the--cover.jpg"]
