Pi Yanan was holding an empty basket in her hand. "Sister Hongping, I raised some chickens, ducks, and geese on this mountain. I wanted to go see if they had laid eggs..."

"You still raise these on this mountain?" Xu Hongping was a little surprised, but also puzzled. Since they raised chickens and ducks, why did the mother and daughter look so pale and skinny? It was obvious that they were starving and malnourished.

"Yeah, didn't Wanying tell you? She has a share here too. I was thinking of picking up some eggs and giving some to her."

Pi Yanan was such an honest person that Xu Hongping didn't even consider the truthfulness of what she said.

"What? Yingying, you raise chickens too?"

Jiang Wanying suppressed a laugh and explained, "You're talking about that. I almost forgot. It can't be considered as raising them. Wasn't it the case with the old village chief? To thank Yueyue and the others, Brother Lu caught some chickens, ducks and geese and raised them on this mountain."

Xu Hongping frowned, "How come I don't know about this?"

Jiang Wanying held her hand affectionately and said, "It's because they were afraid that some people in the village would get jealous, so they secretly captured them and released them to the mountains, where they are now kept in captivity."

Xu Hongping asked again: "Then how can you say you still have a place?"

Pi Yanan said, "Actually, I didn't do much. It was Miss Wanying who helped my husband clear his name, so I said I would share the chickens, ducks, and geese on the mountain with her in half."

Xu Hongping nodded thoughtfully, and seemed to no longer doubt the authenticity of this story. After all, Lu Yanchuan knew her well, so it was not difficult for her to secretly catch some poultry and raise them in the mountains.

She walked over to Pi Yanan and told her, "Since you've raised so many, you should eat more eggs and other nourishing foods. And Yueyue, look at her, she's shorter than other children of the same age. If you don't feel sorry for yourself, you should at least feel sorry for the child."

Mentioning her daughter, Pi Yanan felt uncomfortable, but it was difficult to say anything else. She lowered her head and said, "You're right. I will definitely not be stingy and will make sure Yueyue has enough to eat."

Jiang Wanying took the opportunity to mention: "Aunt, actually you can't blame Aunt Yanan for this. She wants to send Yueyue to school, so she wants to save money..."

"You want to send Yueyue to school?" Xu Hongping was stunned. "Then you should have told me earlier. The village primary school has already started classes. The money is also easy to negotiate. I can advance the money for you."

Pi Yanan's voice trembled slightly, "Really...really, is it okay?"

Jiang Wanying smiled and said, "The teacher in the village is my aunt's nephew. She said so, so it must be okay!"

Jiang Wanying herself didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and judging from Pi Yanan's expression, she didn't resist this kind of thing. It was obvious that for the sake of her daughter's future, she had to put her self-esteem aside.

It is true that mother's love is selfless.

Xu Hongping comforted her: "How about this, when you have your first grade tomorrow, you bring Yueyue to me, and I will take her to school directly."

Pi Yanan's eyes were red with gratitude, "Thank you... Sister Hongping, thank you so much..."

Everyone in the village knows Xu Hongping, a well-known good person, but only if you cross her bottom line.

Her bottom line is Jiang Wanying and the Jiang family.

"We're all from the same village, don't be so formal. It's getting late, why don't you go collect eggs earlier? There aren't many people on this mountain, and I don't know if there are any wild animals..."

Pi Yanan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I've lived here for so many years and haven't seen any of those scary things."
