The long night passed, and after one night, Wang Jiefang completed his transformation from a boy to a man!
When Wang Jiefang finished making breakfast and called for Sun Yuwei, she blushed and got out of bed. Looking at the squid strips in the rice porridge, she was momentarily stunned, but then she said nothing and continued to eat.
Originally, Wang Jiefang intended to make meat porridge, but after thinking it over, he realized that they had just finished eating meat. If he made meat porridge again, it would surely provoke jealousy among the people in the courtyard. So he decided to cook plain rice porridge instead. After it was ready, he added the squid strips he had found in his storage space.
What Wang Jiefang didn’t know was that even if he only cooked plain porridge, the fragrant aroma of the rice would still incite jealousy and resentment among the neighbors in the courtyard! The first to notice and smell it clearly were the Yan family.
"This little Wang is something else," Yan Bugui muttered. "Even with his family in such a state, he still eats rice porridge. He doesn’t seem to know how to budget for life. Once that little compensation money runs out, I wonder what he'll do!"
After Yan Bugui finished grumbling, his expression suddenly changed: "This little Wang wouldn’t really plan to come over here for a meal, would he? That’s not acceptable!"
"Jiefang and Jicheng, you all stay away from that blind man in the future, understand? We don’t want him coming over to borrow food or money!"
The few children who were engrossed in their porridge nodded in agreement at their father’s inexplicable orders. They didn’t care what their father said; as long as they nodded in response, they knew they were safe!
"I need to have a chat with little Wang another day and tell him that life isn’t meant to be lived like this."
Unbeknownst to him, while Yan Bugui was planning how to teach him about life, Wang Jiefang had finished breakfast and was preparing to take his new wife out.
On the way, noticing her confusion, Wang Jiefang began to explain: "Wife, I’m taking you to my master’s house! My master is a first-class chef in the country and is often invited to national banquets!"
"I started learning cooking with my master when I was fourteen. He treats me like a son; I didn’t just run errands like other apprentices for three years—I learned real skills right from the start!"
"If it weren’t for my master’s careful guidance, I wouldn’t be who I am today. Yuwei, my master has no children of his own, so if possible in the future, I will take care of him in his old age."
Sun Yuwei was a sensible person; she nodded and said, "You’re the head of the household; I trust your judgment! I have no objections!"
Wang Jiefang felt even more satisfied with his sensible wife.
Before long, they arrived at his master’s home. His master lived alone in a courtyard house. When his master's wife opened the door and saw Wang Jiefang, her eyes instantly turned red with joy: "It’s Jiefang! Come in quickly!"
"Old man! Come see who’s here!" After welcoming Wang Jiefang inside, his master's wife turned back to call out.
Once Wang Jiefang and Sun Yuwei entered the courtyard, his master's wife noticed Sun Yuwei following behind him. Her eyes lit up as she tentatively asked Wang Jiefang: "Jiefang, who is this young lady?"
"Master's wife, this is my wife Sun Yuwei. Yuwei, this is my master’s wife!"
Wang Jiefang introduced them to each other.
"Hello! I’m Sun Yuwei," she said.
"Oh! Nice to meet you!"
The Master’s wife happily grabbed Sun Yuwei's hand and smiled. Then she quickly took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Sun Yuwei. "Yuwei, this is a gift from me to you. Please accept it."
