She explained in a humble tone that since she was still living in Zhang Shufang's house, she had to be patient. She couldn't wait until Zhang Shufang's house was ready to give her a piece of her mind.

Feeling indignant, and remembering the chicken droppings on her head, Zhang Shufang kicked Zhao Xiaotong and left in a huff.

It was almost noon.

The rice in the pot is ready. The two elderly people have slightly high blood sugar, so they have to steam it before eating.

At noon, I also stir-fried pork with green peppers, made a cold potato salad, and stir-fried some wild vegetables.

Wild vegetables grow abundantly on the mountain; you can dig them up at will.

I heard that someone once dug up Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains and sold it for a high price.

After lunch, Lin Yuxi washed the dishes. The two elderly people had already gone to rest, while Lin's parents were outside reinforcing the wall.

There wasn't much in the room. Lin Yuxi sat on the bed and took out the safe she had pried open yesterday. There wasn't enough time then, so she didn't have a chance to look at it. Now that Gu Chen wasn't here, she could take it out and take a look.

A thick ledger appeared before her. The first part recorded the losses of the factory, showing that there were no profits at all and the factory had actually gone bankrupt. Turning to the back, she saw that the factory was heavily in debt.

"Xixi, Xiao Gu is here."

Lin's mother called out into the house, interrupting Lin Yuxi's thoughts.

She quickly put away the ledger, put on her shoes, and grabbed a hat to put on her head.

"Shall we go pick some now?" Lin Yuxi looked around the house, found a basket, and picked it up.

Gu Chen nodded, "You can only walk there from here, it will take about half an hour."

"Okay, let's go then."

Lin Yuxi's eyes and mouth were full of longing for loquats. If more loquats ripened later, she would just move a loquat tree and plant it behind the house.

Once I put on my straw hat, I don't care about anyone.

The mountain road was difficult to walk on, but the air in the mountains was exceptionally fresh. Although the sun was strong, it was shaded by trees, so it wasn't hot at all; on the contrary, it was quite cool.

From the mountainside, you can still see the entire Qinghe Village.

"The loquat trees are on the mountaintop; there's a large loquat grove over there," Gu Chen said, leading the way with practiced ease.

Lin Yuxi wasn't afraid that he was lying to her; after all, it wasn't certain who could beat whom.

She admired the beauty of the mountains and quickly followed. After walking for about twenty minutes, she was indeed tired from climbing and had sweated a bit. Her sleeves and knees were dirty.

Looking up, I saw many golden fruits on the mountaintop, shining brightly.

"Who owns this loquat grove? Would it be considered stealing if we came to pick them?" Lin Yuxi suddenly asked.

Gu Chen frowned. "The loquat grove was planted by my father. The land we were allocated was on the mountain, which wasn't suitable for growing anything, so we chose to plant loquats."

Lin Yuxi suddenly realized what was going on and didn't ask any further questions.

Because after she transmigrated into the book, she didn't receive any plot information and only retained the original owner's last memories; she was a cannon fodder female supporting character.

She didn't know who the female lead was either.

Sure enough, once we got up there, the view opened up considerably. There were about twenty or thirty loquat trees, and each tree was laden with loquats. The loquats at the top were mostly golden yellow and ready to eat.

"You can pick them all if you like, but my second uncle and his family don't like to eat them."

Gu Chen swept the thick grass on the ground with a stick, and sure enough, a patch of grass had fallen.

Suddenly, something completely black was startled and scurried around on the ground.

"Don't move, there's a snake!"
