Back in her dormitory, Liang Zhaodi carefully got into bed and took off her outer clothes while lying in bed. Because she was so excited, she couldn't fall asleep at all, but she was afraid that Nie Xiulan would find out something when she came back, so Liang Zhaodi closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep.

The next morning, Wenxi tidied herself up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. After eating breakfast herself, she wrote a note and placed it on the table, telling Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue that she was going to the mountain to look for Chinese herbal medicines to treat colds and fevers.
So that if someone comes to visit her and finds her not home, they won't assume she's 'out playing' and think she's faking illness to take leave.
Fortunately, Wenxi didn't catch a cold or fever, so she could go up the mountain to collect fish.
She doesn't have the protagonist's halo, nor does she have the overpowered cheat ability of the female lead Lin Yiwan. She also can't make money as easily as Lin Yiwan. Lin Yiwan trades with the black market once a week, each time for 15,000 yuan in cash and 5,000 yuan worth of gold jewelry.
Lin Yiwan has been in this world for seven years. She has earned a lot of money in these seven years, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to send her brothers and cousins to work in the factory.
As for why Lin Yiwan didn't go to the city to work as a factory worker, it was because she longed for freedom. She didn't like doing the same thing every day in the factory. She didn't have to work in the team, so she could just play every day and lived a very comfortable life.
She can't make as much money as Lin Yiwan, but she can sell the fish on the black market. There are fish everywhere in the fields and ditches in the countryside, so she can have a steady income.
She had read the original text, knew where the black market was, and even knew who the black market boss who cooperated with Lin Yiwan was and where he lived. This made it much easier for her to trade with the black market.
Wenxi set off before dawn, and by the time she arrived at the waterfall, it was already light. She thought that since she hadn't used the fishing net for several days, the fish inside should all be dead. However, when she pulled the net up, she found that the fish inside were not dead. She quickly collected the fish and then put the net back into the water.
She will have to make money from these fish from now on.
It was already noon when they arrived at the outer layer of the mountain. Wenxi didn't recognize any Chinese medicinal herbs, but in order to pretend, she still picked up some firewood and put it in her basket. That way, if someone came to check the situation, she could say that she hadn't dug up any Chinese medicinal herbs and had just picked up some firewood.
Coming down from the mountain, one could immediately spot the tall figure standing in the alley. Jin Changfeng, over 1.8 meters tall, was so imposing that it was impossible not to notice him.
Wenxi, carrying a basket on her back, walked over with a puzzled look. "Brother Jin, what are you doing here?"
Jin Changfeng took a box of medicine out of the pocket of his military overcoat and handed it to Wen Xi, saying, "I happen to have some medicine for treating colds here, take this."
"Thank you." Wen Xi hadn't expected Jin Changfeng to be so considerate, but she had no plans to date or get married right now, and she wouldn't marry into the Fengshou Brigade.
She spent several days and nights on the train when she went to the countryside, and the hardship of the journey is still vivid in her mind. She would never give up everything for anyone and marry someone from another place.
After Jin Changfeng left, Wen Xi also returned home. She poured firewood onto the floor next to the stove and then began preparing lunch.
Wenxi caught a cold and "fell ill" after rescuing someone from the river, and she didn't know if anyone would come to visit her, so she didn't cook a very good lunch.
I made sweet potato rice, radish, and cabbage; I didn't dare include any meaty smell at all.
Sure enough, when they finished work, Aunt Meihua returned with Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue. Aunt Meihua took Wenxi's hand and asked with concern, "Xiaoxi, are you alright?"
Wen Xi shook her head. "I'm fine, I just caught a cold. Thank you for your concern, Aunt Meihua."
Aunt Mei patted Wenxi's hand and said, "I heard about what happened yesterday. You're a good child."
Wenxi didn't know what to say, so she just smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Meihua."
She didn't say anything about saving people being the right thing to do. If she had known that Mo Qiaolin was scheming to get intimate with Jin Changfeng and then force him to marry her, Wen Xi would never have gone into the water to save Mo Qiaolin. It was because of people like Mo Qiaolin that Wen Xi never wanted to go into the water to save people again.
After all, not only do you not receive gratitude for saving someone, but you might also be falsely accused, ruining your life.
"Xiaoxi, you should rest well at home. Auntie will talk to the villagers on your behalf, so you don't need to worry. Just rest well at home! Auntie will go back now."
"Thank you, Auntie. Goodbye, Auntie." After seeing Aunt Meihua off, Wenxi closed the courtyard gate, then went back to the kitchen and fried an egg. How could they just eat radishes and cabbage?
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. When it was almost time to start work, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue went out to work, leaving Wen Xi alone at home.
She locked the courtyard gate, the house door, and the door to her own room, and then began to organize the items in the system's warehouse. Although she had signed out quite a few items, many of them were not very valuable and were only enough for the three sisters to live on for a while. So, the only things she could sell at the moment were the fish and the big wild boar.
However, Wenxi hasn't decided whether to sell the wild boar yet. Fish are easy to catch and plentiful, but pork is hard to come by. In other words, wild boar meat is more valuable than fish, and selling it for a few cents a pound wouldn't be worthwhile.
In the evening, Wenxi prepared dinner and waited for Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to return. Qian Liang slowly approached Wenxi's house from the foot of the mountain, then pressed himself against the wall, smelling the fragrance emanating from inside. He greedily wrinkled his nose, realizing that Wenxi's family was indeed quite well-off, which further strengthened his resolve to marry her.
From now on, he will not only eat this meat, he will also eat that meat!
Hearing everyone leaving work, Qian Liang walked out of the alley. He wanted to create the illusion that he was having a secret rendezvous with Wen Xi, which would make it easier for him to marry her.
Sure enough, when Qian Liang came out of the alley between Wen Xi and Chang Qingqing's houses, everyone who saw him couldn't help but take a second look, but no one would think much of it. After all, since he could enter the mountains from here, everyone would just assume that he came down from the mountains. No one would associate him with Wen Xi, because everyone knew that Wen Xi's family had high standards and requirements, and no one in their village could meet those requirements.
Just after finishing dinner, there was a knock on the door. Wen Xi quickly went to open it and saw Zhao Yuanyuan standing outside carrying a wooden bucket. Wen Xi was a little surprised. "Yuanyuan, is there something you need?"
"Sister Xiaoxi, these are eels that my dad caught while he was digging the ditch. My parents think you're good at cooking, so they asked me to bring them to you."
Zhao Yuanyuan's cheeks were flushed; she was very embarrassed.
