While everyone was busy picking wild vegetables and had no time to pay attention to her, Lu Qiqi found a big tree, hid behind it, and entered her spatial dimension.

Lu Qiqi arrived at the bok choy patch she had planted; the lush green bok choy looked very appetizing.

Thank goodness I'm not old yet! Lu Qiqi was extremely relieved!

Lu Qiqi pulled up all the cabbages, intending to keep some for herself and give the rest to the villagers. Afterward, she would turn over the soil and plant another batch!

She took a basket from the wooden house and then huffed and puffed as she pulled out her bountiful harvest of cabbages from the field.

After picking the cabbages, Lu Qiqi went to check on the cornfield. The corn stalks were already sprouting kernels of corn, which would be ripe soon!

Once the corn is ripe, the people of Lijia Village will no longer have to worry about food! The corn she grows is enough to feed the entire village for three months!

So productive! Lu Qiqi rubbed her hands, which had brought her wealth and fortune, thinking that if she could survive the famine, she could also make a fortune by farming in her space!

Taking advantage of this joy, Lu Qiqi went to check on the rice paddies again. The rice seedlings there had already grown up to her calves.

Lu Qiqi never expected her space to be so amazing, that it could even grow such good rice paddies in dry land!

After inspecting the rice paddies, she then checked the growth of sweet potatoes, radishes, and peppers. None of them disappointed her. The sweet potato vines were spreading everywhere, the radishes were about to sprout, and the peppers were quickly turning from green to red.

Overjoyed, Lu Qiqi threw two wild rabbits into Xiaohua's territory, then left the space with Baicai.

Once outside the space, the villagers were still picking purslane and bitter greens. Lu Qiqi left behind a basket of cabbages and then shouted, "I found cabbages!"

As soon as the village women heard there was cabbage, they immediately ran towards Lu Qiqi's location.

Even Feng Yu'er couldn't stay calm when she heard there was cabbage and ran towards Lu Qiqi.

Feng Yu'er pushed through the crowd and saw cabbages all over the ground. Her eyes widened as if she had found a huge treasure. She would never have to eat wild vegetables again!

Feng Yu'er hugged Lu Qiqi's neck tightly, "Qiqi, I like you so much, you're so amazing, if you were a man, I would want to marry you!"

Lu Qiqi was so tightly bound by Feng Yu'er that she could hardly breathe. She coughed twice before Feng Yu'er realized that she had been too excited and quickly let go of Lu Qiqi.

Feng Yu'er released Lu Qiqi, checking her over to see if she was alright, and apologized, "I'm so sorry, are you alright?"

Lu Qiqi coughed twice before saying in a slightly annoyed tone, "It's nothing."

When Li saw the fresh and delicious bok choy on the ground, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Qiqi, where did you get this?"

Lu Qiqi said, "It was picked from the forest."

Lu Yao looked down at the purslane in the basket, then at the cabbage on the ground, wondering if these wild vegetables were going to be fed to the livestock again.

The aunt who had just asked about purslane asked enviously, "Where is the girl? Are there any more? We'd like to go pick some too."

Lu Qiqi shook her head, "No, they're all here."

The light in everyone's eyes gradually dimmed.

Some people were unwilling to give up, saying, "Why don't you just tell us? Maybe we can keep looking?"

"Yeah yeah".

Lu Qiqi thought to herself, these are all things she planted in her space, they're not in the forest at all! Even if she searched the whole forest, she wouldn't be able to find them!

Before Lu Qiqi could even speak, someone asked, "How about selling some to me? There's so much that your family can't possibly finish it all at once. Just consider it helping out as a neighbor, okay? In the future, if I find anything good, I'll definitely think of you first, Qiqi!"

The speaker was a wealthy villager who still had some money, and naturally wanted a share of the good stuff.

Lu Qiqi smiled and said, "No need for money, consider it my treat for everyone."

When everyone heard that it was free and offered to them as a meal, they looked at each other in bewilderment and hesitated to agree.

It was Aunt Fang, who had just said she needed money to buy groceries, who spoke up, "Then thank you, girl. I appreciate your kindness today. If you ever need anything from us in the future, just let us know!"

He then took a bunch of cabbages and left.

Seeing Aunt Fang do this, everyone followed suit, and in no time, the cabbages were all gone.

After everyone left, Lu Qiqi was about to carry a basket of cabbages back when Feng Yu'er snatched it away, saying, "I'll do it! You're the hero, I'll carry these cabbages!"

As Feng Yu'er spoke, she tried to carry it on her back, but as expected, she couldn't.

Feng Yu'er scratched her head somewhat awkwardly. Li smiled, picked up the basket and carried it on her back, saying, "Let's go back, hurry back, we're having cabbage today!"

As soon as Lu Qiqi and her companions returned to their lodgings, Madam Lu saw Lu Qiqi, grabbed her and pulled her aside, gritting her teeth and saying, "You spendthrift! You just give away so many cabbages like that. You really don't know the value of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household!"

After speaking to Lu Qiqi, he turned to Li Shi and said, "Little sister, you shouldn't have stopped them! How long can we eat all this food!"

Lu Qiqi pulled Madam Lu to the side of the basket, "Auntie, don't worry, I just left a big basket for my own family! Don't worry, I'll definitely put my own family first."

Perhaps it was the phrase "family" that soothed Lu Shi, causing her to remain silent.

The Lu family had no children of their own, and having been on the run with Lu Qiqi and Lu Yao for so long, they had long regarded them as their own children.

But when she thought about all those cabbages, and how people had thanked her as they passed by, even her long-time rival, Sister Fang, thanked her, she felt a pang of envy!

Knowing Lu Shi's little scheme, Lu Qiqi said, "Auntie, A Yao and I are not from this village after all. In the future, we will need everyone's help to live in the village. Now that everyone has accepted my kindness, they will not make things difficult for A Yao and me in the future."

Madam Lu glared at Lu Qiqi and said irritably, "How old are you? You're already thinking about scheming. Besides, these things don't need you to do them. Don't your third aunt and I still have them?!"

Lu Qiqi smiled but didn't say anything. She knew that Madam Lu still treated her like a child like A Yao, and had no idea that she was already fifteen years old and had reached the age of marriage. However, she wouldn't remind her to avoid being pressured to get married. In ancient times, being pressured to get married wasn't just a personal matter; it meant the whole family would be ridiculed and talked about behind their backs.

Li Xibao didn't understand why the adults were talking so much. Looking at the crisp cabbage in the basket, she thought it must be delicious. She picked it up and took a bite. After tasting it carefully, she exclaimed with delight, "Mom, it's a sweet cabbage! Mom, you should have some too!"

Everyone was amused by Xibao's sweet, innocent voice and laughed.

No longer feeling bad about giving away the cabbage and meat for free, Madam Lu rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll make cabbage dumplings for you tonight!"

The villagers got cabbages and made cabbage dumplings and cabbage cakes to eat as dry rations.

They also dried the purslane and bitter greens to save for later consumption.

The villagers never imagined that the purslane they picked that day would save their lives in the near future!
