The eldest aunt stammered, "How would I know..."

Shen Qingyu waved her hand: "Then you can leave."

"Where are the mixed grains? Didn't you promise to give me mixed grains?"

The eldest aunt refused to leave and was prepared to use a tantrum to get what she wanted.

So the eldest aunt rolled onto the ground again.

However, before she even reached the ground, someone rushed in through the door and grabbed her by the back of the neck.

Fate was strangled by her clothes, and her aunt could only roll her eyes and look on helplessly.

Cheng Ping decisively dragged her out, and when they reached the door, he skillfully poked her in a certain spot on her waist and ribs.

Auntie felt her whole body go numb!

Not only could he not move, he couldn't even speak.

The eldest aunt stared wide-eyed in panic, making a "hoarse" sound, her face full of terror!

With a lazy smile, Cheng Ping leaned close to his aunt's ear and said, "If you throw a tantrum again, I'll make you live like this for the rest of your life!"

Aunt: "Heh...heh..."

Cheng Ping went back inside, and Shen Qingyu came out again. She squatted down, her expression calm: "If you remember anything, you can come to me. My promise is valid."

The eldest aunt nodded with great effort, as if she had seen a ghost.

I agreed.

I was wrong.

Just let me go!

Cheng Ping called out from inside, "It should be done in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If you can roll away, then roll away."

It wasn't until after an incense stick had burned that my aunt was able to move again, and she ran away, tumbling and crawling.

After this incident, the eldest aunt was terrified and dared not approach any further.

The uncle looked worried and could only ask his wife to go up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables.

Wild vegetables are hard to find now, and everyone is worried about food shortages, so they are digging for wild vegetables together.

All the wild vegetables on the hillside have been dug up!

For the sake of their babies, the uncle and aunt had no choice but to go inside.

While everyone's attention was focused on the wild vegetables, a ghostly voice rang out: "Auntie, where is Shen Yusong?"

"Oh my god!" The eldest aunt was so startled by the sudden shout that she fell to the ground with a thud.

When she turned around in fright, she discovered that it was Shen Qingyao, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Shen Qingyao had become darker and thinner, her complexion was sallow, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were somewhat torn.

How embarrassing.

"You dare to come back? You've made us work like slaves for seven years, and you just kicked us to the curb, not only that, but you also embezzled all the hard-earned money we've saved up over those seven years! I'll beat you to death!"

After realizing what had happened, the eldest aunt got up and tried to hit him.

Shen Qingyao grabbed her aunt's arm: "What? Wasn't it you who pestered me to get into the Qi family in the first place? Now you're blaming me?"

The aunt struggled a couple of times but couldn't break free, and became even angrier: "I don't care! Give me back my hard-earned money!"

"I didn't take your money, so why are you looking for me?"

"I'm asking you, where is Shen Yusong?"

"What do you want with Shen Yusong?" Her aunt looked at her warily.

"Besides me, can you find anyone else to feed you now?"

The aunt grasped the key phrase and immediately stopped struggling: "Give me food?"

Shen Qingyao scoffed: "As long as you're willing to obey, I'll give you food."

"What about food? Do you have any?"

The eldest aunt didn't believe her empty promises and looked her up and down.

Shen Qingyu took out a small silver ingot from her bosom and tossed it over: "Take it!"

The eldest aunt readily accepted the silver tael!

That's enough to buy dozens of kilograms of mixed grains.

The eldest aunt didn't even take her eyes off the silver ingot before asking directly, "What do you want from us?"

"You're doing this..."

Shen Qingyao muttered instructions to herself.

The eldest aunt's eyes darted around as she listened. After she finished speaking, she hesitated and asked, "If I do as you say, how much silver will you give me?"

This is about bargaining.

Shen Qingyao didn't mince words: "I'll give you one tael of silver a month."

"Three ounces!"

"Just one tael, take it or leave it!" Shen Qingyao said, making a move to snatch the silver from her hand.

Auntie quickly covered it up: "Okay, okay! I'll listen to you!"

Once you've earned a tael or two of silver, who would bother digging for wild vegetables?

go home!

Auntie sneaked down the mountain and headed straight for Shen Qingyu's house.

Shen Qingyu was surprised that she dared to return so quickly: "What are you doing here?"

The eldest aunt said mysteriously, "If you give me thirty catties of mixed grains, I will tell you where Shen Qingyao is."

Hey!

Shen Qingyao actually came looking for her aunt and uncle?

Shen Qingyu crossed her arms, looked at her aunt with an air of composure, and didn't say a word.

The aunt felt uneasy under his gaze: "What are you looking at?"

"Do you think the Qi family could find her if you hadn't told me?"

The eldest aunt felt a pang of guilt: "Well... it can't be that easy, can it?"

"Then you just wait and see." Shen Qingyu seemed indifferent.

The aunt, however, became uneasy: "Wouldn't it be better to catch them first? After all, you have three children. The sooner you catch them, the safer they'll be, right?"

That's true.

Shen Qingyu stopped teasing her: "Three catties of mixed grains in exchange for you telling me all the details of your meeting with her. If you're not willing, then you can leave."

The eldest aunt didn't say anything for a moment. She felt it wasn't worth it, but she was also afraid that Shen Qingyu would really not give her anything and would drive her away.

Shen Qingyu didn't give her a chance and got up to kick her out.

Cheng Ping also appeared beside him perfectly.

Upon seeing Cheng Ping, the eldest aunt was reminded of the pain of fate strangling her, and quickly declared, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"

After Shen Qingyao had told her everything, the eldest aunt cautiously said, "That's all."
