Apart from thank you, she didn't know what else to say or do.

Captain Liu took his men away, and Li's two brothers also returned to Guizi Village. They remembered what Captain Liu said and had to find their captain to tell him that they had to get their sister back to Guizi Village, otherwise her sister would definitely have no way to survive.

After everyone left, Song Yun and Yang Lifen closed the gate and went back to the backyard to cook.

Yang Lifen couldn't help but sigh, "When I met those ragtag people in Beijing, I thought my life was miserable. I would lie in bed all day without food or water, torturing myself and my family. Now I think I was really stupid."

Song Yun smiled and glanced at Yang Lifen, thinking that this girl had finally gotten the idea.

Yang Lifen continued, "There are so many people in this world who are more pitiful and miserable than me. What's my problem? I was just being taken advantage of by someone because of my good intentions. So what if my reputation is ruined? They can say whatever they want. I won't lose a single piece of meat anyway. I should just beat up that shameless family and live my life the way I want."

"Tsk tsk—what a revelation! What a pity! It's no use regretting going to the countryside now. You can't go back even if you want to."

Yang Lifen hugged Song Yun and said, "Who said I want to go back to Tang? I feel so happy sleeping on the same kang with a beautiful woman like you every day. No one can ask me to go back to Tang. I just want to stay with you."

The two of them laughed and played for a while, and soon the smell of food wafted through the courtyard.

Yang Lifen also began to learn how to cook from Song Yun. Song Yun was always busy, and Ziyi had to go to school and do homework. She couldn't always wait for Song Yun to cook for her, so she also wanted to learn how to cook and make more delicious food for Song Yun and Ziyi.

Over in the cowshed, Li Fengqin was very satisfied with the environment there. In fact, the place where she and her children lived in Xiaoxi Village was not as good as the cowshed. Only when it was too cold in winter would the Sun family let them and their two daughters live in the house with a kang, simply because they didn't want her, a laborer, to freeze to death.

Li Fengqin and the two children were busy cleaning the house. Li Fengqin asked Sun Nizi to get a rag and find water to wash it. Sun Nizi walked out of the shed, but didn't know where to find water, so she went to the shed next door with the door open and asked, "Auntie, can you tell me where I can wash this?" Sun Nizi was a little shy and timid. After all, she was only a seven-year-old child. She knew that the current situation did not allow her to retreat, so she had to bite the bullet and ask bravely.

Bai Qingxia, who was cooking noodles, looked up when she heard the words and saw a girl in tattered clothes and with dirty cheeks looking at her eagerly, holding a dirty rag in her little hand with a timid look in her eyes.

"Do you want to wash the rag?" Bai Qingxia asked.

Just now, Captain Liu brought people over to her room and heard it. They knew that the villagers were staying there temporarily. The child probably didn't know what the cowshed meant, so she dared to talk to them.

Sun Nizi nodded and said, "Well, auntie, can you tell me where to get water?"

"Do you have a basin?" Bai Qingxia asked.

There is no well in the cowshed. The water they use is carried from a mountain spring pool more than a mile away and stored in a water tank at the back. If the little girl had a basin, she could scoop some for her.

Sun Nizi shook her head and said, "No." Although there was a bed, a worn quilt and a few daily necessities in the shed, there was no basin.
