Is it uncomfortable in your hand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zijin finished up efficiently, and the water in the iron kettle on Gu Youyou’s stove had also come to a boil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out a clay bowl to pour the water and placed it beside Gu Youyou, then continued to busy himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Jin Zijin’s busy back, Gu Youyou felt that his rough image grew bigger, exuding an unusual sense of security!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou watched the whole process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that she couldn’t cook, but she didn’t know how to use such primitive tools, so she watched very carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her illness were to get better, no matter where she went in the future, she would have to cook for herself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lotus Village was surrounded by mountains on three sides, it primarily relied on rice as a staple food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the lotus trees, the terrain consisted of hills, and the villagers in this region all ate rice, so they still consumed rice meals!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wild chickens, even at their largest, were not bigger than domesticated ones and much leaner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With feathers and innards included, they barely weighed two to three pounds, and after plucking and cleaning, there wasn’t much meat left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a meal, without any other side dishes, they finished the rice, and the wild chicken was eaten completely clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Gu Youyou was so ill that she hardly had the strength to walk, she ate with gusto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly how fervently could be understood only by someone as hungry as she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ate no less than Jin Zijin did, both of them like starving ghosts, they engulfed everything, even the soup didn’t stand a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jin Zijin was tidying up the bowls and chopsticks he said, “You’re sick, you can’t overeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow, I’ll get some vegetables for us to eat!”Uh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou’s eyes were still fixed on those two rabbits, it looked like they wouldn’t be on tomorrow’s menu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the modern heir to a family of traditional Chinese medicine, Gu Youyou understood these principles, but no matter how much she understood, it couldn’t curb her hunger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mouth overcame her reasoning, so when there was food, she couldn’t care about anything else and indulged herself completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!” Gu Youyou felt a bit embarrassed thinking about the way she had just eaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say a full belly gives you strength, and this was true for Gu Youyou as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt like her whole body was filled with energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that was in comparison to her weak condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The firewood in the stove had died out, and it had grown completely dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zijin’s home didn’t have an oil lamp, so they lit the half-burnt red candle from last night, and only then was there a bit of light in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zijin helped Gu Youyou back into bed, then got up and extinguished the red candle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gu Youyou’s eyes had remained on that red candle the whole time, understanding that even though her body housed a modern soul, she knew that on a wedding night, you shouldn’t blow out the red candles—it was unlucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the half-burnt red candle, Gu Youyou guessed that Jin Zijin probably extinguished it when they went to sleep last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that all it is to him, a mere lighting device?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weren’t ancient people supposed to be superstitious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering Jin Zijin was just a simple guy and had not been taught these things by his parents, she didn’t dwell on it, assuming he just didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zijin’s bed was very narrow, probably only around 1.2 to 1.3 meters wide—fine for a single bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Gu Youyou took up little space, Jin Zijin’s stature was undeniable, so when he lay down, the bed still seemed very crowded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou couldn’t help but admire Jin Zijin’s mental resilience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t seen herself before the day and that was saying something, but since she saw her appearance, she was incredibly impressed with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She found her own appearance frightening, and yet, he could actually bring himself to touch her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, here he was, coming closer—good grief, wasn’t it uncomfortable to hug her?\u003C\u002Fp>",705,"2026-06-06T06:54:47.407Z",1,"novelbin.me","ae0ed6600f5cbb56a84e67a300730057845623a4915435e17fb4c795ef2189b2","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-24","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-22",1812,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
