"Dad, what's wrong?" Li Wen asked hesitantly.

"Keep a close eye on things tomorrow. If anyone from the Huang family goes to my house, send a few more people to help them out." He had dealt with the Huang family when he was young, and they were extremely difficult to deal with.

Li Wen was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Huh? Oh, okay!"

Suddenly, a large area of ​​forest appeared in our home, and the amount of work we used to do increased several times over.

It's just because the newly purchased hill, although it's only one, is the largest in the village, two or three times larger than the hill behind their own!

Especially after Ding Heli said that kudzu could also be propagated by cuttings, Shuiqing's family no longer needed to rely on kudzu to fill their stomachs. Unfortunately, Hu's parents didn't know this.

The two were only thinking about how not to waste food, so after planting the Polygonum multiflorum cuttings, they also tried to plant as many kudzu cuttings as possible.

I'm worried that my daughter and son-in-law's family won't have enough food to eat in the future.

Inspired by them, the rest of the family followed suit.

Shuiqing: .....I thought she was working very hard, but I didn't expect that her parents were even more hardworking than her when it came to farming and food.

It feels like there's never enough work to do.

We wouldn't mind having a dozen or twenty more people to work!

However, this applies to all but a few households in Shanshui Village.

While they were propagating kudzu vines, they also looked for mushrooms.

It's been quite a while since the rain, and there are far fewer mushrooms, but they're not completely gone. They'll bring them over around evening after they find them, and most of them will be exchanged for eggs on the spot.

Shui Qing and Fan Jin thought it was a good deal to get a pound of mushrooms and a pound of eggs, but the villagers thought it was even better.

Every morning, Shuiqing works extra hard to collect eggs.

One egg after another, not only are they delicious, but you can also exchange them for mushrooms—they're practically golden eggs!

Shui Qing pushed open the hanging flower gate as usual today, and heard a terrible crowing of chickens coming from the chicken coop.

She blinked, realizing something was wrong—she'd been robbed!

"Come out quickly! Thieves! Someone stole our chickens!" She yelled into the yard, rushed to the storeroom, grabbed a shovel, and ran outside.

Ling Ran, Bai Ziqian, and Jiang He, who were in the nearest back room, rushed out, heading straight for the warehouse, grabbing shovels and running outside.

Next was Hu Wenhua. When he arrived, the shovel was gone, so he picked up a hoe and rushed out of the yard.

Hu the butcher cursed from behind, "This is outrageous! How dare he steal chickens in broad daylight! I'll beat him so badly his own mother wouldn't recognize him, or I'm not a Hu!"

When everyone rushed to the chicken coop, they saw Fan's mother, Uncle Huang, and Uncle Huang's second uncle happily catching chickens inside.

One on the left, one on the right, I was carrying seven or eight in my hands.

Uncle Huang even took off his clothes to wrap eggs, and the eggs piled up on his clothes were as high as a small hill.

Butcher Hu was dumbfounded. "My dear in-law, what are you doing?"

Mother Fan was initially a little guilty, but she straightened her back and retorted, "My son's chicken is a gift to me, so what?"

“If you want to eat, you should tell your son first. Besides, it’s fine to give it to you as a gift, but you can’t just give it to someone else.” Butcher Hu’s gaze fell on Uncle Huang and Uncle Huang’s second uncle.

Uncle Huang and Uncle Huang Er shuddered when they thought of the butcher holding the pig-slaughtering knife yesterday, and stood behind their third sister.

The chicken he was carrying showed no sign of being put down.

This is the scene that Li Wen and Li Wu arrived at with a group of people.
