We are in a turbulent time now, especially now that the crops in the fields are not growing at all, and there will be more chaos in the future. In order to be able to live a quiet life and close the door to live her own life, Wang Shiyu prefers Aunt Niu's home.

Every night, Wang Shiyu would return to the space and start planting the land in the space, just to save a little more food, in case she could use it someday.

The only advantage of the space is that you can use mental power to plant crops, which saves Wang Shiyu a lot of trouble. Farming is very labor-saving. Wang Shiyu even planted corn and millet, and a lot of coarse grains. I don’t know if they can be used, but it doesn’t matter. Even if they can’t be used, it doesn’t matter if they are thrown in the space.

Now, they have completely settled down in the east of the city, and Aunt Niu has moved in directly at home. Since she has signed the contract, she has to live in the house to help, so Aunt Niu has moved in directly at home and helped with the housework.

Aniu still went up the mountain to chop firewood and then delivered it to the Mo family as before. Wang Shiyu still paid him money, just like before. However, in order to prevent the reputation of the women in their family from being disturbed, Aniu never ate at home. He even left in a hurry every time he delivered firewood to avoid disturbing the reputation of the women.

Usually Wang Shiyu would ask Aunt Niu to pack some for him to take home to eat. Wang Shiyu did not allow Aniu to eat at home. After all, Wang Shiyu did not want to invite a wolf into the house, so it was better to keep a distance.

That's how it was. Aunt Niu didn't dare to give Aniu more food. She usually just gave him two steamed buns and some pickles, or sometimes the leftovers from Wang Shiyu and the others. They were all very clean.

Zhou Qingyun and Mo Ruru, mother and daughter, ate relatively little meat, so the meat in the dishes was usually left over. Even though Wang Shiyu knew that Aunt Niu was giving the leftovers to Aniu, she never paid much attention to it. After all, if the leftover dishes were not eaten by people, they would be wasted, which was very shameful, especially at this time, because Wang Shiyu had seen a few grains of rice cooked into a pot of porridge, so she was naturally very frugal.

Therefore, even the leftovers were eaten with great relish by Ah Niu. You know, they used to be able to eat meat three or four times a year, which was considered a lot. But now, the leftovers from the Wang family were so juicy and rich that Ah Niu was simply amazed. But every time he finished a meal, he would be more motivated to go up the mountain to chop firewood and send it to the Mo family the next day.

Even after each meal, Ah Niu would secretly wash the dishes and would not dare to let his neighbors see what he was eating. It was this caution that helped Ah Niu escape death many times.

Sometimes Aunt Niu and Aniu were unwilling to let Wang Shiyu continue to pay him for firewood. After all, Aniu knew that with that little firewood, he would probably have to give away enough money for meat if he continued for a month. But as he followed the Wang family, he could eat meat every time, and he was already very grateful.

"Miss Xiaoyu, it's very kind of you to let an old woman like me give the leftover food to Aniu. You know how many people out there are starving, and it's already great that Aniu still has meat and vegetables. Don't continue to pay for the firewood. Just think of it as Aniu doing something within his ability for you."

Aniu listened to his mother and nodded continuously because he thought his mother's words made sense. However, Wang Shiyu thought that one thing should be considered one thing. Those dishes were leftovers and they would not eat them the next day. It would not be a waste if they were given to Aniu. She did not have any other thoughts. However, she was worried that Aunt Niu would have other ideas if she did not pay Aniu for firewood for a long time. Besides, there was a child under one year old at home. It was better not to make enemies.

So in order to avoid trouble, she didn't mind these few coins.

"Aunt Niu, let's put things in perspective. It's okay if the leftover food is given to A Niu. This way, we can avoid wastage, isn't that great?

Besides, Aniu has put in a lot of effort in chopping wood for us. Besides, he hasn't married and had children yet, so it's okay to give him some now. If he continues to give him some after he gets married, I'm afraid his wife will have objections. It would be better to take some money home so that he can live a better life.

Plus, I usually ask Ah Niu to find out all kinds of news circulating among the various classes in Jizhou City, and Ah Niu always does a good job, so this money is earned by Ah Niu with his own ability, so just take it."

...................................................................................................................................

Ah Niu was indeed somewhat shocked by the meticulous mind of this little girl. He originally wanted to express his gratitude, and considering his mother's matter, he would have been willing to deliver firewood to the Mo family for free. However, he did not expect that this young lady could be so meticulous in her work.

Since Wang Shiyu was willing to do a favor, Aniu would naturally pay more attention to their affairs. He heard the news that King Rui had sent people to look for Zhou Qingyun. Mainly because those people were asking around near the courtyard where Wang Shiyu and her family used to live. Aniu's family was next door, so he naturally had more access to the news. So he came to ask for help.

After saying these words, Wang Shiyu paid Aniu his wages and went straight back to the house. She didn't want to argue with Aniu at the door, so she went back to the room and continued looking at her design drawings.

Just four days after they settled down, the people arranged by King Rui arrived. Wang Shiyu heard it from Aniu, so Wang Shiyu directly asked Aniu to find someone to vaguely reveal the location that was a little distance away from their home. As for whether those people could find it, that was none of Wang Shiyu's business.

But those people were not lazy people. Within a few days, they followed the clues and came to Wang Shiyu's new yard.

At this moment, their family was sitting in the yard eating. On the table was a boiled white-cut chicken, a portion of pork belly fried with dried eggplant, a steamed sea fish and some shelled snails and shrimps. The staple food was white flour buns and rice. Wang Shiyu was from the north and liked rice more, but Mo Ruru preferred rice, so the family would always prepare both staple foods, since it didn't make a big difference anyway.

To be honest, when the visitors saw the dishes on the table, almost everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Zhou Qingyun ate so well. They originally thought that this family would definitely treat Zhou Qingyun unfairly. After all, when someone came to them to complain, they didn't say anything good.

So they thought Zhou Qingyun would be abused to the point of being skin and bones, but they didn't expect that he was living better than them. Even at this time, the food didn't seem to be bad.
