"No, why do you ask that, Aunt?" Meng Wenyuan asked, looking puzzled.

Seeing his silly look, Wan Shu couldn't help but twitch her lips: "You don't actually think that moving you to a better place to live won't cost you any money, do you?"

Meng Wenyuan's face flushed red: "I, I... I will pay you as soon as I return to Dongcheng Academy tomorrow."

Although the villagers of Qingshui Village are all simple and honest, they are not the kind of people who would eat such empty flatbread.

Sure enough, rich kids are always a bit silly.

In the past, Wan Shu had met many wealthy young men in the business world.

She genuinely despised this group from the bottom of her heart. Not only were they foolish, but they were also arrogant, always thinking they could accomplish anything. But the truth was, they couldn't do anything and she had to clean up their messes.

However, Meng Wenyuan is a pure-hearted child. Apart from being a bit too naive and overconfident, he doesn't have any major flaws and is quite adorable, still within Wan Shu's tolerance range.

She patiently explained to Meng Wenyuan.

“In our village, unlike your university where there are many houses, most families have two or three siblings crammed into one house, and there are no extra rooms for you to live in.”

“It would be very troublesome to make room for you. Everyone is tired from working in the fields every day and just wants to rest. You don’t have any money for them right now, so why would they bother?”

Meng Wenyuan found it very strange: "Two or three people crammed into one house? There really is such a thing in the world. I thought it was just something written in a book."

After his initial surprise, he felt a little apologetic: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I didn't know before. Thank you for your help. I'll stay here. Anyway, I'll go back tomorrow."

Fortunately, this kid is quick to understand and not annoying.

Wan Shu nodded, said nothing more, and went home.

She found Dazhu, who had just returned from fetching water, and asked, "Dazhu, do you know about the relationship between Su Fan and Yujin Pavilion?"

Dazhu asked, somewhat puzzled, "What happened between Su Fan and Yujinge?"

Hearing this, Dazhu knew nothing at all. It seems he'll have to go ask Manager Su for information tomorrow.

Wan Shu didn't say anything more and went to help wash the ingredients.

Making two or three hundred pounds of braised food is a huge undertaking. Even with six people working together, it's already afternoon by the time it's almost done.

Er Ya went to the animal shed to deliver medicine to Meng Wenyuan again, and Si Ya thought it was fun, so she went with her.

Occasionally, without the two little girls chattering in her ear, Wan Shu was happy to have some peace and quiet. She rubbed her shoulders, opened the online store, and began searching for information about rice-shrimp co-culture.

Anything produced by our system is guaranteed to be of high quality!

After watching for a short while, Wan Shu understood why crayfish eat the roots of rice.

It turns out that because crayfish don't have enough food of their own, they can only eat rice roots to fill their stomachs.

Rice roots are not considered good food for crayfish. If they are fed a variety of foods, they will stop eating rice.

This problem is easy to solve, or even doesn't need to be solved at all.

Wan Shu continued reading and searched for more information on precautions for crayfish farming before finally going out.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Sam-soon casually asked, "Mother, where are you going?"

Wan Shu: "I'll go find your Aunt Sun and Sister Daniu and tell them about the techniques for raising crayfish."

Dazhu, who was originally just a hard-working ox, suddenly lit up with excitement when he heard this.

He put down the pig feed in his hand and pretended to be calm: "Mother, I'll go with you too, and see how to raise crayfish. If they're easy to raise, we can raise some ourselves."

Wan Shu smiled as she looked at Da Zhu's flushed face, but didn't expose him: "Well, you can raise some yourself. You can come along."

Before long, the two found Da Niu and her family.

They were not at home, but working in the fields.

Without men, only these widows and orphans remained. To survive, they had no choice but to work even harder.

Da Niu considers herself the eldest sister and feels she should shoulder the burden of the family. She works the hardest, and even though it's not hot today, she's sweating profusely.

Sweating so much really doesn't look good, and you inevitably end up smelling of sweat.

When Da Niu saw Da Zhu coming, she instinctively turned around, trying to block him.

But this isn't a forest, and there aren't trees everywhere, so it can't block the view.

Dazhu couldn't help but see Da Niu's disheveled appearance, and his eyes widened in shock.

Da Niu's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head in self-consciousness.

Wan Shu walked ahead, and since she wasn't particularly perceptive about matters between men and women, she didn't notice the subtle changes between Da Zhu and Da Niu.

After greeting each of the six people with a smile, she talked to them about the precautions for crayfish farming.

"It turns out that as long as you feed the crayfish well, they won't eat the rice. It's amazing! I'm so glad someone discovered it!"

They did not question Wan Shu's solution at all.

The exchange went smoothly. As it was almost dinnertime, Wan Shu said goodbye to them and led Da Zhu home.

After walking a few steps, Wan Shu noticed that Da Zhu had secretly slipped back and was standing next to Da Niu.

She smiled, pretending not to know.

"Hey girl, look how sweaty you are."

Hearing Dazhu's words, Da Niu's heart pounded like a drum, a bittersweet feeling welling up inside her. Did Dazhu really despise her...?

"Don't tire yourself out. I just brought a piece of candy with me. You can sneak a bite first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Da Niu felt something hard being stuffed into her palm.

She looked down and found it was a piece of yellow rock candy.

These sparkly candies are rare treats that only wealthy families can afford!

Da Niu quickly tried to return it, but Da Zhu had already run away in a flash.

As Da Niu watched Da Zhu's departing figure, her heart, which had been filled with a bittersweet feeling, was now overflowing with sweetness, and she couldn't help but reveal a happy smile.

Seeing this, Wu Niu asked curiously, "Big sister, what are you laughing about?"

Da Niu didn't say anything, but smiled and stuffed the candy into Wu Niu's mouth.

Wu Niu smacked her lips, her eyes lighting up instantly. She opened her mouth to speak, but then saw Da Niu make a shushing gesture and whisper something to her.

"There's only one, you can eat it quietly by yourself."

Wu Niu immediately started sucking on the candy with delight, forgetting her initial doubts.

Da Niu hummed a song happily as she continued working with a brisk pace.

Li Cuihua, hiding in a corner not far away, watched this happy scene with gritted teeth in hatred.

"Big Girl, you shameless woman, you don't deserve Brother Dazhu at all!"

"You actually dared to accept Brother Dazhu's things! These things all belong to me! You little slut, I'll make you pay!"
