Jay, who returned with a hunted animal, was immediately warmly welcomed by his family.
Now they had new hope, and with Jay's demonstrated abilities, a wedding was possible.
And their family's good name would be preserved. Both Jay's father and mother now felt that Jay had truly matured and could become a pillar of their family.
"Dad, we'll eat one chicken and keep the other one. You can trade the rest for food with the villagers, or directly with the village chief," Jay told his father while they were in the kitchen.
His mother, Ameno, and Nining, who had overheard Jay and his father's conversation, spoke up one by one.
"Shouldn't we just trade them all for food?" his mother asked.
"No, Mom, just save one for us to eat together. Nining definitely loves chicken, so don't disappoint her," Ameno offered another suggestion.
"Ahhh, your brother-in-law is so kind... Nining loves brother-in-law!!" Nining hugged Ameno affectionately.
"Look, don't look at me like that. This is all Jay's catch, so he has the right to decide," Paul replied to his family.
"Then just follow Jay's instructions," his mother relented.
"Then just arrange it as Jay suggests, Dad. There are some jungle fowl eggs left over too." Jay then took about eight eggs from his basket.
"Oh... there are eggs..." Nining happily said.
"These eggs will be an additional meal for our family. Cook two every day, and I'll handle them," Jay made another additional arrangement.
"You're such a spendthrift..." his mother complained, but she didn't argue with Jay's suggestion.
Finally, Jay's family made chicken soup for dinner.
After dinner and a short rest, since there was no entertainment, Jay and his family immediately retired, as did most of the other villagers, who would quickly spend their time resting to restore their energy.
This not only helps their bodies recover quickly, but also allows them to conserve more of their energy.
This allows their family to consume less food.
This ultimately leads to overall food savings.

In Jay's room, Jay, having showered and changed, is lying on the bed.
Jay hasn't chosen to go to bed immediately, knowing that his wife, Ameno, will surely ask him questions about what happened today.
And of course, their main focus will be on discussing the space he has.
This is certainly something Jay is thinking about. If everything goes according to his expectations, tonight will be a new breakthrough for their relationship.
As a newlywed couple, there are certainly many things they need to adjust to.
This includes lifestyle habits and varying perspectives on events.
Discussions between the two of them will certainly be necessary to determine what is right for each other.
Because they don't want anything bad to happen between them, and a good relationship between husband and wife is fundamentally based on good communication and sincere mutual understanding.
So, in discussing an important moment like this, Jay and Ameno are certainly required to be more accommodating to each other.
Regarding their partner's strengths and weaknesses.
Ultimately, whether they are willing to share their secrets honestly with their respective partners or not.
This will undoubtedly impact their future as a couple.
Shortly afterward, Ameno entered the room. Freshly showered, she looked beautiful in her simple attire.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Ameno asked softly, not expecting Jay to be waiting for her at this moment.
As if she knew they had something important to discuss.
"No, I just wanted to chat with you about a few things before bed, honey," Jay replied softly.
"Oh, what was that about?" Ameno asked again, sitting down beside Jay.
"You know that I can hunt, but more than that, I have a secret ability that I've never told anyone about." Jay then began to talk about his secret.
"Since you consider it a secret, why do you want to tell me about it?" Ameno asked again, but she seemed to be speaking more softly.
"I just feel like, as lovers, It's not a good idea to hide this.
Although I was worried that talking about this would worry our family or even put them in danger.
But in the end, I realized that maybe sharing is better than keeping it to myself," Jay then made up his mind.
"So, since you're willing to be honest and tell me, I'll just say that it means a lot to me, honey.
I don't have much experience in relationships, and even less in love. I can say that you are my first love and my only husband.
And as a good wife, I will of course always support your decisions as head of the household.
But honey, I hope that regarding some important decisions that affect our future, you can talk to me and ask for my opinion.
"I'll leave the rest to you, because I will faithfully take care of the household for you," Ameno replied in a gentle but determined tone.
It was as if Ameno wanted to let Jay know that she had completely made him the backbone of their married life.
Seeing Ameno's sincerity and frankness, Jay was touched and embraced her and gave her a loving kiss.
Finally, after they had kissed for a while, Jay noticed Ameno was blushing and embarrassed. Seeing this, Jay wanted to take action.
But he realized there was still something he needed to finish, so he spoke again.
"Look, honey," Jay asked Ameno to see what he had.
And soon after, Ameno saw the chair in their room suddenly disappear.
Seeing this, Ameno was amazed and then said in a surprised tone, "Amazing!!! What did you do, honey?" Ameno asked curiously.
Even though she had seen through her shadow clone's memories, seeing it in person still surprised her.
"This is my ability. I can store various items in my secret chamber," Jay replied, telling Ameno.
"Secret chamber? Is that the name of your ability?" Ameno asked again.
"Yes, I call it secret chamber," Jay replied happily.
"Amazing! You can store various items in your secret chamber. But are there any conditions or limitations?" Ameno asked immediately.
"Of course there are. Among them are...
