Li Man was blankly standing in the same spot . Seeing these brothers happily talking and laughing with each other, she didn't know how to feel . Li Hua's earlier answer had been too vague .
Following after his older brothers, Li Hua headed towards the kitchen's entrance . When he turned his head and saw that Li Man was still conspicuously standing underneath the peach tree with her eyes lowered in a confused expression, he turned around and walked back to her . He wanted to say something, but then he remembered that she wouldn't be able to understand .
And so, he just reached his hand out to hold hers .

Surprised, Li Man raised her head . Li Hua broadly smiled at her . Holding her hand, he led her towards the kitchen .
Looking at his thin, but straight figure, Li Man suddenly felt that he was a dependable and warm person .
A family member? Right, she seemed to have heard from Xiaowu that this family's last name was Li . And, from the transmigration novels that she had read, it seemed that most people transmigrated into people with the same names as themselves . Then, the original owner of this body must have also been called Li Man .
So then, was this teenager her older brother or her younger brother?

Chapter 17 – Adding food to her bowl
Li Man suddenly smiled . Thinking of how caring this teenager had been towards her, she guessed that he was probably her older brother .
Seeing her smile, the two men at the doorway swayed as if they were looking at dazzling goddess .
Leading Li Man to the doorway, Li Hua lightly said to the two stunned men, "Older brothers, it's time to eat . "
Li Mo said, "Oh," and hastily entered the hut .
In contrast, leaning against the doorway, Li Yan whispered into his fourth brother's ear, "Still not letting go?"
Li Hua faintly smiled . His hand subconsciously tightened around Li Man's . He led her straight past Li Yan and had her sit down at a stool while he went to get the food himself .
Dinner was simple . Li Man had braised the mountain chicken and steamed a large pot of rice .
When Li Hua saw the large pot of rice, he froze for a moment in surprise . Rice was expensive . In their family, they were reluctant to eat rice even once a month . Moreover, the rice would be used to make congee to spread it out more .
Li Mo had already finished scooping out rice for everyone . Looking at this fourth brother, he chucked and said, "Let's eat . "
Although women couldn't really support themselves, as long as their family of brothers worked hard, they wouldn't let her suffer . Since she loved to eat rice, then they would eat rice every day in the future .
By the time the bowls of rice and plate of chicken were brought over to the table, Li Shu had already finished washing and came inside . Seeing that there was meat and rice, he cheerful said, "Oh! Life isn't the same after you have a woman . " They were eating rice two meals in a row .
