At this time, Rong Qing no longer paid attention to what Chu Ling'er said outside the door. After thinking for a while, she felt that with Chu Ling'er's selfish nature, she would definitely come again, which would greatly affect what she was going to do next.

After returning to the house, she said to her grandmother, "Grandma, when you see Chu Ling'er's grandmother and her mother, tell them that she has a lot of good things. From what she just said, her family is almost struggling to make ends meet, so it's a good opportunity for her to make some contribution to their family."

"Alright, we have to let them know. That black-hearted girl has taken advantage of you a lot over the years. Given her personality, she's definitely hiding a lot."

"She won't be able to take advantage of even a needle in the future. For the sake of peace, let her grandmother and mother take good care of her. A girl should be able to marry when she grows up, and they might even find her a husband."

"Eighty percent likely. Her brother is a year younger than her and should be getting married. Besides, no one in their family can work. Now that the household contract responsibility system has been implemented, you can reclaim your own land. But she hasn't reclaimed a single acre and is only planting the five or six acres she has. How can there be enough food for a family of more than ten people?"

"After all, they are just insignificant people."

"My dear, you are right to think so. You will be going to Kyoto soon, and it is not certain whether she will see you again in this small village.

I'll prepare everything for you first. We need to make use of the hundred or so acres of black soil. This afternoon I'll make a phone call to get some seeds and fruit tree seedlings, a few pigs, and some chickens, ducks, and geese. My sweet baby won't go hungry when she gets married."

Rong Qing responded obediently: "Yeah, I'll listen to you. It's great to have you around. I don't have to worry about anything. Are you really not going to Kyoto with me? If you're not around, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of myself."

"I can't bear to leave my sweet baby, but I have to wait for your grandfather. As soon as the old man comes back, I'll take her to Kyoto, okay?

There's still half a month left. The two large earthen cellars and the space at home will have enough food for you to eat for a year or two. I'll cook for you after you finish your milk and you won't go hungry. If you don't want to learn how to cook, this is a good opportunity for us to learn together."
