Harvest!


    After sending Fang Rui’er off, Lin Suisui turned around and began to make soup.


    It had been raining for the past few days, and the humidity was too high. When she was looking for herbs just now, she had also found some herbs to prevent dampness. Today, when she was making chicken soup, she could stew them together.


    Lu Ze woke up early and went up the mountain with a few men from Mrs. Luo’s family. ording to the Fang family’s eldest son, they had found traces of wild boars in the valley yesterday. However, in terms of hunting, they could only be considered half-baked. Therefore, they wanted Lu Ze to go up the mountain. If Lu Ze was lucky enough to catch a wild boar, their meals for the next two days would be greatly improved.


    Lin Suisui ced the y pot on the bonfire. While she guarded the soup, she took out her sewing basket and started sewing.


    Anyway, they had done what they had to do and exined everything. As for how things would develop in the future, they could only take it one step at a time.


    Just as Lin Suisui had told Fang Rui’er, the Du family quickly went to Mrs. Luo’s house.


    However, with Lin Suisui’s instructions this time, Mrs. Luo, who had already suffered previously, was also prepared this time. She had long informed the women from the surrounding families. Now that the Du family had arrived, Mrs. Luo stood at the entrance of the tent and shouted at the sisters’ stepmother.


    “Invite a doctor? Back then, you threw your stepdaughter into the mud at my door and left without looking back. Where did you go back then?!


    Heh, after I took out the money and hired a doctor to prescribe medicine, your stepdaughter’s fever has subsided. Who would believe that you were worried about her and hired a doctor to treat her?!


    “In short, let me say this first. I won’t stop you, but if she leaves now, what she eats or drinks and if her condition worsens in the future, it won’t be my problem!”


    As soon as Mrs. Luo said this, the Du family’s stepmother, Du Wangshi, immediately lost her temper. She ced one hand on her waist and lit Mrs. Luo up with the other. She spat. “Pfft! Why are you so unreasonable?!”


    Just because you said you hired a doctor, it’s true?! Who knoww if you didn’t just casually grab someone from the roadside?!


    Originally, I could be more at ease with Juan keeping an eye. But now, you even chased Juan home. What are you thinking?!


    “If anything happens to my daughter, can you afford to pay?!”


    “You don’t have to worry about that! Everyone is watching! Anyway, your girl is in my tent now. My family is watching over her. If anything happens, my family will naturally be responsible for it!


    It’s better for your people to leave!


    Anyway, when your girl recovers, I’ll naturally hand her over to you in front of everyone!


    As for now, it’s better to stay away from the sisters. I’m afraid of being scammed. Now, I can’t even escape them. Do you want to falsely use my family?!”


    Mrs. Luo spat. In the face of the Du family’s stepmother’s coercion, she didn’t give in at all.


    She had now realized that the Du family was full of schemers. Now that they were already entangled, if they weren’t careful, their entire family would probably be screwed!


    This time, Mrs. Luo had help. Although the Du family’s stepmother had been pestering her for most of the day, Mrs. Luo was still reasonable and imposing. In the end, the Du family’s stepmother didn’t gain any advantage and could only leave dejectedly.


    After temporarily resolving such a big problem, both Mrs. Luo and Lin Suisui felt much more rxed. Perhaps it was because they were in a good mood that they were quite lucky today.


    When Lu Ze and the others returned from the mountain, they actually carried back a fat wild boar!


    There were about 20 men who went up the mountain together this time. Including the families who usually had a good rtionship with them, almost more than 10 families could share it.


    For a moment, the families in this area of the camp were all overjoyed, especially the children. They chased after the adults happily and shouted that they wanted to eat meat.


    Lu Ze and Lin Suisui were the only ones in their family, so Lu Ze didn’t ask for too much. After discussing with Lin Suisui, he only asked for half a fan of pork ribs and arge piece ofrd. The pork ribs were what Lu Ze nned to bring back to roast for Lin Suisui. As for therd, Lin Suisui suggested it.


    Compared to meat, the oil could be stored in a y pot for a long time. If they encountered ack of food like before, this thing could save lives!


    The gains and joy on this side naturally attracted the envy and jealousy of the other refugees beside them. However, these people were already experienced. The moment the wild boar was transported back and ughtered, they cut off the best portion and sent it to Pei Qian’s tent.


    With this rtionship, no matter how considerate the refugees were, no one really had the guts to snatch it from them.


    As for the generals and soldiers patrolling nearby, they didn’tck food and drink in the first ce. Now that they had killed the wild boar, at most, they would be invited to enjoy it together. Both sides benefited!


    Mrs. Luo and the others were happy, but the Du family was in apletely different state!


    The Du family’s stepmother, Du Wangshi, was holding a rattan in her hand and chasing after Du Juan’er with great force. Although Du Juan’er ran quickly, she still inevitably suffered a few heavy blows. Tears flowed down her face from the pain.


    “Little bitch, you’re such a loser! You and your sister are useless! What can you do? No matter how petty that old woman is, she can still squeeze out some money, right?!


    You guys are useless!


    “Let me tell you, when your sisteres back this time, get married quickly. It’s a waste of money for you two useless people to stay at home!”


    She was panting from the chase. In the end, she sat down on a stool at the side but still didn’t stop cursing. Originally, Du Juan’er didn’t intend to respond, but when she heard that her stepmother wanted to sell her sister in advance, she couldn’t help but beg, “Mother, don’t be angry. My sister and I are useless, but there’s really a reason this time.”


    “Reason? What reason?! Are you afraid that I won’t be able to tell what her scheme is?! She doesn’t like the person I chose, but why doesn’t she take a closer look at her unpresentable appearance? She’s already lucky that a widower is willing to spend five taels of silver to marry her!


    What else does she want? Does she want to marry the emperor?!”
