âNow that we can make our own decisions, you should follow your elder sister and earn money together, okay?â
Several people nodded vigorously.
âLetâs not talk about making money for now,â Erni took a deep breath.
âElder sister, although we now have some grain, we havenât milled it into flour, and we donât have any vegetables, not to mention cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, or even firewood.
What about dinner tonight?â It was indeed a pressing issue.
âWait here.â Yang Ruxin wanted to fetch something from her space but couldnât do it in front of her siblings in case she scared them.
âIâll go out for a bitâŠâ
âWhere are you going?â Sanni grabbed her arm.
âTo get something to eat,â Yang Ruxin spread her hands.
âJust wait.â
However, before she had managed to reach the gate, someone had already come over.
âDani, I heard your family split up.
Though you took some grain, you canât eat it without milling,â Feng Family walked in.
âI made some food, just make do with this for now.â Saying that, she handed over a basket covered with a blue cloth.
âThis isâŠâ Yang Ruxin looked up in surprise.
âThis is some cornmeal mixed with a bit of wheat flour to make steamed buns, and thereâs also a jar of bean paste I made myself.
Even though the weatherâs hot, you can still eat this for two or three days,â Feng Family explained as she uncovered the blue cloth on the basket.
âThereâs also a little bit of vegetables from my house.
I brought you a slab of pork fat and some salt.
Oh, and about those rabbits and pheasants you earned but didnât pick up, I had to stew them that afternoon because they wouldnât keep.
To make it up to you, Iâve brought ten eggs.
Make do for now⊠And about that herbal pack, it indeed reduces swelling and pain well, but at night you should still boil an egg and roll it over the area so that you wonât wake up with a bruised face tomorrowâŠâ
âThank you, Aunt Feng,â gratefully looked at the goods, Yang Ruxin thought it was easy to add frosting to the cake, but much harder to send coal in snowy weather.
This was exactly what she needed.
âYouâve really solved a big problem.
I wonât stand on ceremonyâŠâ This meant she didnât need to take anything from her space.
Honestly, she wasnât afraid of others, but she did fear Sanni might be too inquisitive, and she wouldnât know how to respond.
âWhat are you being polite for?
Weâre neighbors now,â Feng Family smiled.
âIf you need anything, just come over.
Gu Yao is strong and can help.â
âOkay.â Yang Ruxin nodded, taking all the things.
No sooner had Feng Family left than another person arrived.
âYang Dani, I really admire you.
You actually dared to split from the family on your own,â Li Jiaya started as soon as she walked in.
âYou even dare to fight with your elders.
But Iâve always been worried you might starve.â
Yang Ruxin couldnât help but roll her eyes.
This girl was blunt but sincere, which was much better than those with sweet words and sour hearts.
âIâm not afraid.
I have hands and feet; how could I starve?
Staying in that household, I might have starved or even been beaten to death.â
âThatâs true,â Li Jiaya smacked her lips and thrust the basket she was carrying at Yang Ruxin.
âThis is from my mom.
She didnât come over because she said for sure someone would bring you food, so she didnât make any.
But these things youâll definitely need.
Hurry and take them out; I need to bring the basket back.â
