Xiaoyue, carrying her basket, hurried back to the storeroom and told the young shop assistant, "I left something inside."

The shop assistant accompanied Xiaoyue into the northwest corner of the warehouse. Xiaoyue calculated that Yun Xingfei should have passed through the third courtyard by then, so she carried her basket out of the warehouse and ran out in a flash.

Xiaoyue originally wanted to buy a few chicks and ducklings to observe the area along the way, but since it wasn't market day, there were none for sale. Xiaoyue wanted to go home immediately, but then she suddenly remembered Monkey Three's matter.

Xiaoyue looked at the sun, which was still quite far from zenith, and just then she saw the little beggar walking towards her.

The older brother grabbed his younger sister and rushed towards Xiaoyue. When they arrived, the boy, panting heavily, said, "Sister, be careful. A tall man might try to take advantage of you."

Seeing that the two of them were covered in sweat and their hair was wet, Xiaoyue squatted down and used her sleeve to wipe the girl's hair and face. She looked up at the boy and comforted him, "It's okay, I know martial arts."

Seeing how sensible the boy was, Xiaoyue felt it was better to leave the task to him to avoid awkwardness when she met Hou San in the future.

The boy was half a head shorter than Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue stood up, took the girl's hand with one hand, looked at the boy, and asked, "What are your and your sister's names?"

The boy smiled brightly, revealing a set of white teeth: "My name is Chunyue, and my sister's name is Shuiyue. You can find us at the village's earth god temple at the entrance."

Xiaoyue's mind raced, and she looked at Chunyue, saying, "The name sounds quite nice. Want to make some money?"

The boy's eyes widened, his hands clenched tightly, and his breathing became rapid. After holding his breath for a long time, as if he didn't believe Xiaoyue's words, yet didn't want to miss this opportunity to make money, he finally let out a long breath and, as if making a startling decision, cautiously answered, "Yes."

Xiaoyue nodded in satisfaction, pulled the brother and sister to a secluded spot, took out a coin from her purse, placed it in the boy's palm, winked at Chunyue, and said mysteriously, "Here's a deposit of one coin. The task isn't difficult; just deliver a message for me. This message can't be delivered for nothing. After you find the person, ask him for two coins as a delivery fee. If he doesn't pay, I'll make up the difference."

Chunyue thought that she wouldn't lose out no matter what, so she listened to Xiaoyue and went to find someone excitedly. Xiaoyue carried a basket on her back and led Shuiyue behind Chunyue.

Chunyue went from restaurant to restaurant asking, "Are the waiters here from Niukou Village? Your wife asked me to pass on a message to you." In the small town of Hejia, there were five or six small restaurants. She asked at each one until she finally met Hou San at the Sanshan Restaurant, which was just outside the town gate.

Monkey Three didn't recognize Spring Moon, but Xiao Moon definitely recognized him and nodded to Spring Moon from behind.

Chunyue, acting like a little adult, asked, "Are you Monkey Three from Niukou Village?"

Monkey Three was of medium height, with a good-looking face and clean clothes. Instead of chasing away the beggar, he stood at the door and said kindly, "Do you need anything?" He treated the beggar the same as any other person.

This made Xiaoyue glance at Hou Sangao.

Chunyue scratched her head: "Someone asked me to pay you two coins to sell you the information."

Monkey Three frowned, staring suspiciously at the beggar. Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he hesitated for a moment, then thought to himself: Consider this a reward for the little beggar.

He took two coins out of his pocket and handed them to Chunyue.

After receiving the money, Chun Yue's face lit up with a smile. It was noticed that when Chun Yue took the copper coins, she flipped her hand over, revealing scars all over the back of her hand. At this moment, Chun Yue whispered to Hou San, "Your wife wants you to go home tonight. Remember, go home tonight and don't disturb anyone."

After saying that, he ran towards Xiaoyue's direction.

Xiaoyue saw that Hou San looked happy after receiving the message, but she felt uneasy.

Seeing that Monkey Three had already gone inside, he then led his sister to join his brother.

Xiaoyue was in a hurry to leave the city, so she left on her own after saying goodbye.

As Xiaoyue left the city gate, she kept an eye on what was behind her. About a hundred meters from the gate, she saw the two men who had robbed her that day, one tall and one short, except that the taller man had a limp.

Xiaoyue quickened her pace, thinking that the two men seemed to be looking for revenge. She then jogged over.

Soon, Xiaoyue saw Uncle Liang's car and breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from her face. She had escaped a disaster today.

Uncle Liang sat in the car, smoking. There were already four or five people from neighboring villages in the car. When Xiaoyue saw this, she quickly ran a few steps.

Xiaoyue ran to the oxcart, put her basket on it, and then got on. She found a suitable spot to secure the basket, sat down next to it, and looked back at the two men. They glared at Xiaoyue fiercely. After Xiaoyue got on the cart, the two men followed her for a few steps and then went somewhere else.

Xiaoyue sighed. It seemed she would have to be more careful when going out in the future.

Today I also need to move my third sister-in-law and Xiaodouding to my place. My third sister-in-law's illness has worsened again. When Xiaoyue left the Ge family, my third sister-in-law was able to get out of bed and walk in the kitchen, but after only a few days, she's bedridden again and can't do anything.

I only found out yesterday when I arrived at Lao Ge's house that they don't send any food to Lu Xiaomei and her daughter. Xiao Douding only eats two out of three meals at Xiaoyue's house. Whenever Xiaoyue is home, no matter how good or bad her cooking is, she eats in Xiaoyue's shack.

Xiaoyue thought that given Lu Xiaomei's current health, it wasn't realistic for her to go to Xiaoyue's house. So she decided to let her third sister-in-law take her with her, so that she could not only brew medicine for her but also cook her a delicious meal.

As for why she treats Lu Xiaomei so well, Xiaoyue has her own reasons.

In her previous life, Xiaoyue was pretending to be Ge Sanlin's concubine, and Lu Xiaomei did not let Xiaoyue suffer any grievances.

After everyone on the bus got off in different villages, only Xiaoyue and Uncle Liang remained.
