Seeing that her son had already expressed his opinion, Aunt Zhang quickly followed up with her own words.
"Don't worry about that. My Zhang family will never take advantage of you. We will pay an extra share of our food rations..." he said, giving Huang Dachuan a cold glance before continuing.
"You saw it clearly, the porridge this girl just drank was made from rice I brought from my own home. You can't even manage your own family, yet you have time to meddle in other people's business..."
When Huang Dachuan heard Aunt Zhang say this, and then looked at the bowl that Er Yue was holding, and saw that it was indeed white rice porridge instead of the mushroom porridge that everyone was eating, he had no choice but to shut his mouth.
After finishing the second bowl of rice porridge, Eryue's spirits improved significantly. She naturally heard Huang Dachuan's words and looked at Aunt Zhang apologetically.
"Auntie, I, I can do chores, I won't let you support me for nothing..." she said, getting up to wash the dishes.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang quickly pressed the person back down.
"No need. If you want to work, you should wait until you've recovered. You can start working slowly later. For now, just rest well..." As she spoke, she took the bowl from her hand and handed it to Sanni.
"Sanni, go wash up..."
Sanni thought to herself, "Mom, this future sister-in-law hasn't even entered the family yet, and your heart is already biased."
Thinking this to myself, I quickly took the bowl and went to wash it.
The next morning, while everyone was still half asleep, they were awakened by a scream.
"Great, the rain has stopped..."
Upon hearing this sound, everyone was overjoyed and rushed out of the cave to check. Sure enough, not only had the rain stopped, but the eastern sky was also beginning to lighten, indicating that it would be a sunny day.
"Great! Great! We can finally go back to the village!"
Everyone cheered and jumped for joy, then went back to the cave to pack their belongings and prepare to return to the village.
Twenty days have passed since the rain started. As the sky begins to lighten, the village chief feels a strange unease.
At that moment, upon hearing the cheers and jubilation of the crowd, a trace of sadness indeed flashed in Er Yue's eyes.
Watching Aunt Zhang busy packing her luggage with everyone else, Er Yue's eyes were filled with reluctance. These past few days had been the happiest days of her life. She had felt a warmth from Aunt Zhang that she had never felt before.
"Auntie, Brother Da Niu, thank you for saving me, thank you for taking me in these past few days. You're going back to the village now, and I... I should go back to Xiahe Village too..."
"Aren't you going to let us go back...?"
Before Aunt Zhang could even say anything about keeping them, Da Niu spoke up nervously as soon as Er Yue finished speaking. Then, as if realizing he had been a bit rash, he coughed lightly and continued.
"No, what I mean is, there's no one left in your family. I imagine your thatched hut has been washed away. Why don't you come back with us first, and we can make plans for the future later..."
Aunt Zhang looked at her mentally challenged son and almost turned red in the face before she could finally manage to stammer out her words. She was so anxious that she almost jumped up and down.
When Er Yue heard Da Niu say that, she couldn't help but turn to look at Aunt Zhang.
She naturally wanted to go back to Zhushan Village with them. Putting aside whether she could get out of the mountains, even if she could get back to Xiahe Village smoothly, her dilapidated thatched house would have been washed away by the water long ago. But if she went with them, she was worried that she would be looked down upon.
Looking at Er Yue's cautious expression, Aunt Zhang felt a pang of heartache. After spending these few days together, Aunt Zhang had come to understand Er Yue a little better.
This little girl, though young, is very sensible and hardworking. Aunt Zhang likes her from the bottom of her heart, perhaps because of her past experiences, which make her very sensitive.
At this moment, Aunt Zhang noticed the way she was looking at her and couldn't help but tease her.
"What, you think you can just say thank you and call it a day for saving my life? I was planning to take you back to my house to do chores. Looks like you don't want to go. Sigh! You used to say you could do anything, but it turns out you were just lying..."
"No, no, I'm not lying..."
Upon hearing Aunt Zhang's words, Er Yue quickly explained. After she finished speaking, she understood what Aunt Zhang meant, and her eyes reddened slightly, and her voice choked with emotion.
"Thank you, Auntie..."
"Silly girl, stop crying, come here and let's clean up together..."
"good……".
Da Niu, standing to the side, watched the person opposite him turn from tears to laughter, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Meanwhile, Han Yiyi, watching the sun rise in the east, finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few days in this cave, although there was food and drink, she would often meet a pair of tender and affectionate eyes, which was really hard to resist.
When Yun Xiao saw the sun, he was filled with disappointment. The rain had stopped and the sun was out, which meant that they had to leave.
He's been incredibly happy these past few days. He has plenty to eat and drink, and the food and drinks are all novel. In addition, he has his beloved by his side. He's living the life of the rich and beautiful.
Han Yiyi hurriedly packed her things, putting everything she could take into her spatial storage. Now that Yun Xiao knew her secret, Han Yiyi no longer needed to be secretive, and Yun Xiao was no longer surprised.
The water below had also receded, allowing them to see the bottom of the mountain. The two estimated the distance from the bottom of the mountain to their cave to be about three meters.
Yun Xiao could jump down from this distance, but Han Yiyi couldn't. So, just as she was about to exchange for another climbing rope from the system, she felt someone stop her waist, and then she heard a deep, magnetic voice.
"I'll take you down..." Then Han Yiyi felt her body lighten, and in an instant she was at the bottom of the mountain.
Seeing the shocked look on Han Yi's face, Yun Xiao felt that he had been tricked again.
Actually, his lightness skill wasn't that great; at least for this distance, he couldn't fly up, but what could he do when it was from above?
Although there was no water in the mountains, the roads were muddy and difficult to navigate. It took the two of them four or five hours to get back to Zhushan Village, just as the sun was about to set.
As soon as the two arrived at their doorstep, they saw a group of people coming down from the mountain, with a big ox walking at the front with a big smile on his face.
Upon seeing everyone, Han Yi's eyes lit up with joy, and he quickly called out.
“Big Bull…”
Hearing someone call his name, Da Niu subconsciously looked up and saw that it was Han Yiyi. He quickly turned around and called out to the person behind him.
"Mother, Mother, Mother, it's Sister Yi, it's Sister Yi."
