Chapter 10 The Space of Abundance

Liu Ye excitedly took a small bite of the chicken leg, slowly chewing it in her mouth. Oh my god, it's so delicious! Meat is the best! In her past life, she tortured her body a lot to lose weight, hardly eating any meat and eating boiled vegetables all day long. In this life, she's so thin, as thin as a stick. It's difficult for her to gain weight, and eating meat is a luxury. Wait, she still has a big black pig in her space. She'll process the big black pig and give Brother Bai a piece of meat as a return gift.

"Mmm, the chicken leg is delicious, Brother Bai. This chicken leg must have been stewed by your mother. Your mother's cooking skills are really good."

A bitter look flashed in Bai Zilin's eyes. He thought to himself, "It's not that my mother's cooking is good, it's that my cooking is very good. Ever since my mother gave birth to my younger sister Zimei, she has made him do all the housework, even cooking and washing clothes. He remembers that he was only five years old at the time and couldn't reach the stove. He had to stand on a small stool to cook."

Before he knew it, his younger sister had grown up. He still did all the housework. His mother would only come into the kitchen to help out during holidays. His sister was just as lazy as his father, or you could say just as lazy as his mother. His father was the laziest person in the family. He couldn't lift a finger, couldn't do anything right, and was good at nothing. He ate everything, but just because he had attended a private school for three years and knew a few characters, he considered himself a scholar all the time. It was laughable!

When he was ten years old, he learned to hunt from an old hunter. Otherwise, alas, for so many years, his family had relied entirely on him; he was very tired...

"It's getting late, I'm going back to sleep. You should go to sleep early too."

Liu Ye smiled and waved at him, "Sweet dreams, Brother Bai."

Bai Zilin gave a bitter smile, thinking to himself that he was lucky he wasn't having nightmares. He easily jumped off the wall and went back to his room to sleep.

After finishing the chicken leg in her hand, Liu Ye lay down on the haystack with a satisfied look on her face, counting the stars in the sky, and soon fell asleep.

The next day, Liu Ye was awakened by a commotion. What was going on? Why was it so noisy? She sat up from the haystack and saw that Old Liu's family had all arrived at the door of the dilapidated house, along with some villagers. What was going on?

Zhao, the village chief of Shizigou, shouted at the willow leaves on the woodpile, "Silly girl, come down here, Uncle needs to talk to you!"

Liu Ye shook her head. She wouldn't go down without understanding the situation. There were so many of them; what if they hit her?

Seeing that the silly girl showed no intention of getting down, Village Chief Zhao suddenly realized that she might be afraid of being beaten by the Liu family: "Silly girl, with your uncle here, your father and the others won't dare to hit you. Come down, I have something to tell you."

When Liu Ye heard that they weren't going to hit her, she decided to go down and see what they were up to. She slid down from the woodpile, took a few steps, and then stopped.

Village Chief Zhao looked at Old Man Liu and said, "Go ahead and speak."

Old Zhao pulled out two severance papers from his pocket, turned to the villagers behind him, and said loudly, "These are severance papers. Every single one of us in the Liu family must sever all kinship with this silly girl. From now on, she is no longer a member of the Liu family, and we will not have her as a person. I will not give her a single copper coin, nor will she be required to support her parents. From now on, we are completely cut off."

Turning around, Old Man Liu looked at Liu Ye and said, "You big fool, come here and put your handprint here. From now on, you are no longer a member of the Liu family. Now get over here right now!"

When Liu Ye heard that the Liu family wanted to sever ties with her, she was thrilled. Great! Now that she was free from the Liu family, she wouldn't have to pretend to be stupid anymore.

She slowly walked up to Old Man Liu. Village Chief Zhao took out a box of inkpad from his pocket, grabbed Liu Ye's finger, pressed it into the inkpad, and then quickly pressed it onto the letter of severance. Village Chief Zhao handed a copy of the letter of severance to Liu Ye: "This is the letter of severance. I don't know if you can understand it. Keep it safe. But it's okay if you lose it. The government will keep a record. Silly girl, don't go to Old Man Liu's house anymore. That's no longer your home."

Liu Ye took the letter severing ties with her family, crumpled it up, stuffed it into her bosom, and then put it into her spatial storage. This scene amused the villagers. "Oh my, look at this big fool, he's hilarious!"

Village Chief Zhao chuckled and shook his head: "Since you like this dilapidated courtyard, I'll give it to you."

"Brother Liu, I also have to remind you, that silly girl is no longer part of your family. Your family members should stop beating and scolding her!"

Old Liu nodded happily: "Village Chief Zhao, don't worry. I feel disgusted just looking at this big idiot. I don't even want to waste my breath cursing him. Hehehe, thank you for your hard work, Village Chief Zhao. We'll be going now. Please come visit us at your home sometime."

Village Chief Zhao nodded perfunctorily, thinking to himself, "I'm not going to your house. You're a bunch of inhuman bastards!"

The Liu family left without even glancing at Liu Ye, and once the village chief was gone, the onlookers also left, leaving only Liu Ye standing at the door of the dilapidated house.

Liu Ye turned to look at the dilapidated house. She never expected that this dilapidated house would become her home. Well, although the house was a bit broken, at least she had a home now. She would tidy up the dilapidated house. What if it rained in a couple of days? Then she wouldn't be able to sleep on the woodpile.

Liu Ye walked around the dilapidated house and realized there was no point in repairing it; it had to be torn down and rebuilt. But she didn't have the money to rebuild, and she didn't want to build another mud house. No, no, why should she build a house? If she had the money, why wouldn't she buy a nice house in town? This broken-down Shizigou, with that bunch of bastards from the Liu family, she wasn't going to settle down there. Once she had the money, she would buy a house in town. She would just make do with this dilapidated house for now.

The door to Bai Zilin's house was gently closed, and a figure flashed past inside. Liu Ye clapped her hands, turned around, and went up the mountain. The stream where she used to bathe had even less water flowing from the mountain, and some places had already dried up.

Liu Ye washed her face, took out an apple from her spatial storage, and sat on a rock to eat it: "The water is almost gone, which is not a good sign."

It seems that the people in this area are not far from fleeing famine. She will go with them then, and once they reach the south, she will not come back. Since ancient times, the south has been a prosperous land, a land of fish and rice, so they will never go hungry.

After finishing the apple in her hand, Liu Ye flashed into her spatial dimension, only to find that the four apple trees she had stored in the dimension yesterday had already grown in the black soil and were even in bloom.

Wow! How amazing! She didn't even have to plant them herself. The little apples on the apple tree grew overnight, and there were a few more apple seedlings not far away. These must be the apple cores she threw into her space.

Wow, the soybeans have formed pods, and the corn cobs have grown big. At this rate, they'll be ripe by tomorrow.

Not far away, the cucumber vines were also full of cucumbers, dripping and gurgling. The chili peppers on the chili pepper vines were red and green, and they were ready to eat. Eggplants and tomatoes were also hanging heavily on the vines. The leafy greens were growing bigger, and the Chinese cabbages were thriving, with each one weighing more than ten kilograms. The scallions and chives were growing even better, forming a large, lush green patch.

Liu Ye picked a cucumber, and without washing or wiping it, she took a bite. The cucumber was refreshingly sweet and had a rich, crisp flavor: "Wow, it's so delicious! This cucumber is so good! As expected of products from the space, they are all top-notch."
