Chapter 2445: Chapter 2445: Confused Person
Hmph, heâs doing this on purpose.
This An Que really doesnât seem like a good person. Every time I take his ox cart, it puts me in a bad mood.
Heâs just a scholar, acting as if heâs the only scholar within ten miles. Heâs as arrogant as the rooster in his house, looking down on others and thinking heâs something special.
Aunt Ju never pays him any attention, yet he still chases after her wanting to marry her. Isnât that like a toad wanting to eat swan meat? Heâs just dreaming.
I really donât know where he gets his confidence from, thinking that someone with such a good background would definitely marry him?
Thankfully, the farmland isnât registered under An Queâs name. Otherwise, I would have to act according to his whims. Many families in An Clan Village are like this.
Itâs really hard. Knowing that other peopleâs land is registered under another scholarâs name, they only have to give a little grain, but they still donât dare to say anything.
Because if the land is registered under a scholarâs name and that scholar doesnât acknowledge it, then the land can only belong to the scholar, and these regular folks get nothing.
Speaking of this, itâs really bad. Taxes, they should definitely be paid.
I just donât get it. Why do these people prefer to give grain to those scholars rather than pay it to the royal court?
Giving to the royal court can at least strengthen the nation, but giving to those scholars, sometimes you also have to act according to their whims. The royal court today wonât act like that.
Besides, this is Prince An Yangâs territory, and the authorities wouldnât dare to act rashly.
âAh, people just canât figure things out!â
He shook his head and continued to drive the ox cart home. Dinner must already be prepared at home, waiting for him.
If it werenât for An Que spending a copper coin, he wouldnât be returning to the village this late. Look, itâs already dark, and he can barely see the road. Luckily, he anticipated this before leaving and brought a torch.
Uncle Niu had brought a torch, but An Que wasnât so lucky.
Chasing the ox cart had already worn him out, and on the pitch-black road, he accidentally stepped into a ditch.
When he got back up, he was in a mess, covered in mud, but he had to endure it and slowly feel his way back home.

In the treehouse.
Ever since before it got dark, the whole house was filled with a fragrant aroma.
The three little ones were all in the kitchen. Although An Yixing and Yi Zhou were young, they could still manage the fire and wash vegetables. The two brothers, along with Little Nuonuo, were all squeezed under the stove making the fire.
âThis sweet potato smells so good and sweet, Nuonuo, itâs not hot anymore, eat it.â
An Yixingâs small hands broke a slightly cooled sweet potato and handed it to Little Nuonuo. This sweet potato was roasted under the stove by him, and it smelled wonderful.
In the past, Aunt often roasted sweet potatoes like this for them to eat, and they were very delicious.
âLetâs eat together, brothers.â
Little Nuonuo took the roasted sweet potato, took the half that was bigger, and then handed the other smaller half to Fourth Brother Yi Zhou. He also split half of the bigger piece from his hand for An Yixing.
âLetâs share it and eat, that way weâll all eat a little less, and later, weâll have room in our stomachs to eat the dishes mom made.â He thought happily.
He also wanted to drink the chicken soup that mom cooked. He couldnât remember the last time mom made chicken soup!
