This Golden Chicken was truly nourishing. Even when Chen Jie left, Wu Zhong was still practicing martial arts and moving the grindstone.

Bai had given Chen Jie two buns along with a bowl of leftover celery stir-fried with meat from that day.

With things in hand, Chen Jie returned to his home.

Su Yunjin and Ruirui were already waiting in the courtyard, with a worried look on Su Yunjin's face.

In the morning, when Chen Jie came down from the mountain, he had just said a word to her and then took a sack to the Bai Family. He had been gone for the whole day, which worried her to death.

The former gambling addict, Chen Jie.

*Su Yunjin used to wish he would die outside, but after the changes in the past few days, especially with the firewood and the full water tank this morning, she sensed something different about having a man around.*

"I'm back."

"Brother-in-law!"

Ruirui ran towards Chen Jie, eyes fixed on what he held.

"What good food do you have, brother-in-law?"

"Do you like celery stir-fried with meat?"

Chen Jie teased Ruirui with a smile, and he couldn't help but salivate upon hearing it.

"Wife, heat the dish and these two buns."

Chen Jie handed the dish to Su Yunjin.

"Husband, why are you bringing back food again? Don't do it next time. It's okay once or twice, but over time people will get resentful. You've just started as an apprentice, don't leave a bad impression on Doctor Bai."

"And don't always worry about Ruirui and me. Our family still has lard and sorghum rice. Life is much better than before. If I go pick some wild vegetables, we can eat well enough. There's no need to bring back food every day."

"After a while, it'll annoy people."

Su Yunjin nagged.

Chen Jie nodded and said, "Wife, I know, I didn't want it, but Aunt Bai insisted on giving it to me."

Su Yunjin said, "But you still can't always take it."

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you."

...

The food was soon heated. After Chen Jie finished eating, he watched Ruirui and Su Yunjin sit at the dining table, eating the celery stir-fried with meat. Su Yunjin mostly ate the celery, and most of the meat ended up in Ruirui's mouth.

"Sister, why aren't you eating the meat?"

"Hehe, I don't like it," Su Yunjin said dotingly. Ruirui looked puzzled and said, "Meat is so delicious, sister doesn't like it? Ruirui loves it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie picked a piece of meat from the plate and put it in Su Yunjin's bowl.

Su Yunjin looked up, meeting Chen Jie's gaze, somewhat puzzled.

"Ruirui is right. Meat is so delicious, how could my wife not like it? You should learn to like it, so you can become more beautiful, right, Ruirui?"

"Uh-huh, eat meat, become beautiful, sister eat," Ruirui said sensibly, putting his favorite piece of meat into Su Yunjin's bowl.

Seeing this, Chen Jie added another piece and said, "Have one more piece."

Ruirui said, "Uh-huh, eat one more piece."

"Enough, enough, I really can't eat anymore," Su Yunjin said with a happy smile, covering her bowl to prevent more meat from ending up in her bowl of celery and meat.

Seeing that it was enough, Chen Jie said to Ruirui, "Alright, let's give your sister a break, and the rest, little Ruirui, you take care of it."

"Okay!" Ruirui nodded ferociously, full of happiness. After all, there were still five or six pieces of meat in the bowl.

Su Yunjin ate a piece of meat and then felt troubled, glancing at Chen Jie, wanting to speak but going silent. Seeing her like this, Chen Jie understood.

"Are you wondering about Ma Liu?"

Su Yunjin paused, then looked at Chen Jie with concern and said, "Husband, I calculated at home today, and even if we sold our house, we could only gather at most five silver taels, far too short of twenty-five taels."

After saying that, she was filled with worry.

"Well, there's no need to worry about this. I've already resolved it."

"Really? Resolved?"

Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie in shock, her big eyes full of disbelief.

Her slightly oily lips, from eating the meat, were slightly open, looking quite tempting.

"Really?" She asked in disbelief.

"Really, I was busy with this today."

Su Yunjin steadied herself, looking at Chen Jie and said, "Husband, how exactly did you resolve it?"

Chen Jie laughed and said, "A wise man has his methods."

Su Yunjin, anxious, said, "Husband, don't keep me in suspense, quickly tell me."

"Do you want to know?"

Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin's pretty face. Although long-term malnutrition made her a bit sallow, the scholarly air from her family background was still present, and as long as she ate well, it would return.

"Yes." Su Yunjin nodded. This heavy burden had almost crushed her yesterday, and Chen Jie had resolved it so easily. She was very curious how he had done it.

"Kiss me, and I'll tell you," Chen Jie said, staring into Su Yunjin's eyes.

Those eyes were as bright as gemstones.

Hearing this, she instantly blushed, casting a coquettish look at Chen Jie.

"Ruirui is still here, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Finishing her words, she lowered her head, fiddling with her clothes.

Looking at her reaction, Chen Jie said, "We're husband and wife, it's legal. How is it nonsense? It's just a kiss, not a big deal. Ruirui!"

"Hmm?" Ruirui looked up.

Chen Jie pointed to his own cheek and said, "Give your brother-in-law a kiss."

"Oh." Ruirui took a few steps forward and pressed his oily lips firmly on Chen Balajie's cheek.

Smack!

"Good boy, go eat," Chen Jie said with a laugh, looking at Su Yunjin and said, "Look at Ruirui, and then look at you."

Su Yunjin gave Chen Jie an irritated glance, "Are you trying to die? Ruirui is a child, I… how can you compare?"

"Haha, but do you want to know how I dealt with Ma Liu?"

Su Yunjin thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't. Anyway..."

Smack!

Su Yunjin was about to say more but suddenly felt her body freeze as Chen Jie kissed her cheek, leaving her in a daze.

High-temperature warning!

Her face turned as red as a bubble teapot.

Her heart was pounding hard.

In a society bound by traditional etiquette, women were not as open as those in later generations. Chen Jie's behavior could be considered bold.

*Looking at Su Yunjin, Chen Jie felt a sensation akin to a school romance. Girls would blush back then too...*

"Ahem, wife, since you want to know and won't kiss me, I can only suffer a little and kiss you. With this deal complete, I can now tell you. Do you still want to know?"

"Hmm~" Su Yunjin nodded slightly, though embarrassed, her curiosity hadn't dissipated, and the heavy stone in her heart hadn't been lifted yet.

Seeing this, Chen Jie reached into his bosom and retrieved the slip of debt.

"Take a look," Chen Jie handed the paper to her.

Su Yunjin took the slip and after skimming it, her heart finally settled. It was indeed the IOU that Ma Liu had used to press for debt. Since it had been retrieved, the debt was naturally gone.

"Husband, how did you manage it?" Su Yunjin's eyes were full of curiosity and intrigue.
