The six people ate the porridge in their bowls in big mouthfuls. In less than a quarter of an hour, the whole pot of porridge was gone.

Several people were about to leave with the broken sickles.

She stopped him: "Put on your shoes!"

The children had no choice but to put on their straw sandals obediently.

A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at a small creek. Tang Youyou frowned, looking at the half-dried riverbed, an ominous premonition came to her heart.

Bai Ruoyi sighed: "It rained for a while yesterday, but the river didn't rise?"

There were several women washing clothes by the river. When they saw the person coming, they whispered to each other.

"God, she still has the nerve to come out. If I were her, I would have been killed by her!"

"That's right. Bai Jia Dalang was such a good man, but he actually married her?"

"What do you know? She's the one who's begging me for mercy and won't let me go!"

"What a disgrace! She's still walking around like she's afraid others won't know she's cheating on her husband. Come on, don't blame me for not warning you. Keep an eye on your husband."

The person who said this was another widow in the village, known as the "Black Widow!"

The other few people looked at each other, their eyes full of contempt.

Tang Youyou didn't hear the discussion of several people. She was leading the children to cut Houttuynia cordata.

"Mom, look, the ones near the water seem fatter."

Lin Huahua was a little happy. This large piece of food could last for two or three days. It was dry now, and they had to go far away to the mountains to find wild vegetables. Now, this was simply a timely rain for their family.

The grass nearby can also be cut and woven into straw sandals to be sold, at two cents a pair.
