As the saying goes, the water from one's hometown is the sweetest, and the people from one's hometown are the dearest.

This gave her a deep understanding.

Shen Danru knew that although the money wasn't much, it was money they had saved from the tiniest of their teeth.

"Aunt Zhang and fellow villagers, thank you all. I appreciate your kindness, but please take the money back. I have money here."

She took out a forty-tael silver note and handed it to Wang the matchmaker: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Aunt Wang."

"Okay, no trouble at all."

After receiving the silver note, Wang, the matchmaker, had to make a trip to the Chen family, so she didn't sit down any longer.

Shen Danru let the villagers take their money, thanked them again, and then the crowd dispersed.

Shen Cheng's expression was complicated: "Ru'er, it's all my fault. I've dragged you into this again."

Shen Danru: "Father, this is not your fault. From now on, you have your mother and us, and that's when we're a family."

Shen Cheng nodded, thinking that he needed to visit the village head's family; it was time to separate his household registration from the Shen family's.

When Zhou returned from heating up food for the two children, she saw Shen Danru and Shen Yuyan carrying a sack of things, panting heavily. She went over and took the sack from them.

Having relieved herself of the weight, Shen Yuyan sat down on the ground, panting heavily, and said, "Mother, I'm exhausted."

They carried the bag of things back from the mountain, stopping and starting along the way, which took quite a bit of time.

Zhou often went to the fields to help Shen Cheng with farm work; she was quite strong. She put the sack on the ground.

She opened the bag, and the devil's tongue inside made her expression change drastically: "Why did you dig this up and bring it home? This thing is poisonous."

Shen Danru: "..."
