Chapter 45 If you want to survive, you have to find a way to make money
Fu Xuanheng's left index finger tapped rhythmically on the wheelchair handle. He wasn't very familiar with He Luxue, but he had heard that the person in the He family who most resembled his mother was He Luxue.
Occasionally, we meet once or twice and just say hello briefly.
Different from He Lushuang, who grew up together.
"Yun Yue. Be sensible in what you do and don't care what others say." Fu Xuanheng spoke in a very depressed mood.
"Um."
When we arrived at the forest ahead, it was already past noon.
The monkey waved his whip and told everyone to rest. They were in the middle of nowhere, and everyone had a bad feeling.
The man with a mustache looked down upon everyone with a sinister look on his face.
"There are no steamed buns to share at noon today. Those who want to eat steamed buns have to buy them with copper coins. We don't ask for much, three copper coins for one steamed bun." He lost all his earnings on this trip and had to pay a sum of money as compensation.
I will definitely vent all my anger on everyone.
The other escorts didn't say much either. Everyone got a share of the money from selling the steamed buns, and no one had a problem with the money.
Another escort with thick lips and a trough nose let out a strange laugh. His thick lips spit out bubbles like a fish. "If you want to survive, you have to find a way to earn money. You'll meet your relatives and friends along the way, right?"
"Give you time to find friends and family to come up with a solution. We'll also be happy to help run errands."
The beads on the abacus clattered loudly.
Everyone had a sad look on their face.
The Shen family had a good meal, but Mr. Shen and his family didn't dare to waste the steamed bread. They carefully kept the steamed bread they received and saved it for when they were hungry.
The worried look on Master Shen's brows could kill a passing mouse.
He sighed softly, "Old woman, let's go buy some steamed bread. We can't let Yunyue pay for it all."
Shen Ma pulled out a purse from her bosom, and inside it were copper coins jingling. "Boss, go find the police officer to buy some steamed bread."
Shen Citong responded and took over to find Peng Scarface.
Rest here for a long time.
Ah Si and Ying Feng, one of them went to the woods to collect firewood, while the other went to fetch water with a wooden bucket.
Those who didn't have money to buy steamed bread all went into the nearby forest to look for food. In the winter, there was little food in the forest, so they could only use sticks to dig up tubers from the ground to eat.
Shen Yunyue didn't want to eat the steamed bread, so seeing that everyone was busy, she walked towards the depths of the forest.
Avoid crowded places.
As I walked, I watched the scene in the woods.
I took a spicy chicken burger from the space and ate it. The supermarket on the third floor of the five-story building had no spatial flow rate. The food inside retained its original taste.
Shen Yunyue, who likes junk food, ate happily.
After walking for a while, I found that there were some withered vines in front of me.
It looks a little familiar.
I used a dagger to dig it open and found it was actually a sweet potato. It didn't look very good, but it tasted okay. It tasted a bit like Chinese yam. In my previous life, I often dug up sweet potatoes and steamed them in the mountains.
Shen Yunyue simply continued digging along the roots.
After a while.
She dug out a huge sweet potato.
It weighs about seven or eight kilograms.
Some small sweet potatoes around it were not left behind either.
In the silent forest, there was the sound of footsteps on fallen leaves.
"Girl Shen. What are you digging?" A familiar voice sounded.
Without looking back, Shen Yunyue knew who it was.
"Grandpa Lu, just peel along these vines. They're sweet potatoes, and you can steam or boil them. They're not only filling but also good for your health."
Mr. Lu was surprised, wondering how this little girl, who was only thirteen years old, knew all this.
"You know quite a lot."
"Reading thousands of books is like traveling thousands of miles. My father said that since I'm a girl and don't need to take the imperial examination, it's natural for me to like reading travelogues and reading about local customs and practices." Shen Yunyue explained softly.
Shen Cixuan was a genius in the Great Zhou Dynasty. As the daughter of a genius, she naturally knew more than others.
There are already a lot of sweet potatoes piled up nearby.
Mr. Lu was holding a wooden barrel in his hand and looked around but didn't recognize it.
He walked over and took a piece of dry vine that Shen Yunyue had dug out to compare it with the other one. With surprise in his eyes, he squatted down, took the dagger from his leggings and started digging.
Sweet potatoes are originally wild animals.
There is no village or shop in this place, and no one is looking for food in the woods.
Mr. Lu’s wooden barrel was soon full.
The two men stopped only after seeing that all the sweet potatoes nearby were gone.
Shen Yunyue pulled out a few strands of straw, and Old Man Lu sat down to help her organize them into a net bag. "Shen girl, you are a capable girl. But you have to compromise when you have to. I think it's difficult to deal with the moustache and the He family."
Shen Yunyue was grateful in her heart for Mr. Lu's caring words.
"Thank you, Grandpa Lu. But compromising too much will only embolden others." Shen Yunyue's rebellious nature emerged.
Old Man Lu laughed heartily and put the sweet potatoes in a net bag.
Shen Yunyue held the net bag in her hand, and she also put a lot of sweet potatoes in the space.
This thing tastes good.
The two of them walked together towards where everyone was resting.
As we were almost there, we met many people who had returned empty-handed from the woods.
Seeing that one of Mr. Lu and Shen Yunyue's wooden barrels couldn't hold all the things, and one of them had a straw bag full, she felt jealous and said, "Where did you two pick up these things? You took all the good stuff and didn't even leave any for us."
"It's in the woods. What does it have to do with us if you can't see it?" Shen Yunyue rolled her eyes.
The woman from the He family: ...It knows me, but I don't know it.
The woman from the Peng family: ...This thing is just like a clod of dirt, where did it get dug out from?
The crowd watching: .... Prime Minister Shen knew in advance that he would be beheaded and exiled, but he still trained the noble lady into an omnipotent peasant girl?
Monkey ran over from the escort's side and blinked at the net bag in Shen Yunyue's hand. "Miss Shen, what is this?"
Shen Yunyue loosened her hand, revealing a piece of sweet potato vine.
"That's it. It comes in white and purple. It's not only filling but also good for our health."
The monkey took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Isn't it just weeds?"
Everyone nodded in agreement; in their eyes, it was just a weed.
"Look carefully, the leaves are different. It won't hurt to dig them up if you find one." Shen Yunyue took the initiative to show the sweet potato vines to everyone, so as not to be isolated in the future.
Especially when we come into conflict with the He family in the future.
Those people didn't expect that Shen Yunyue would take the initiative to teach them with Fujiko.
"Can we go look for them now?" someone from the Pei family spoke.
"Okay, there's a spring flowing through the mountains to the west. You can go look there."
“Miss Shen, thank you very much.”
"Then we'll go too."
"Wait for me."
The monkey squinted his eyes and shouted loudly:
"Just send a few people from each house, but don't start a fight."
When Shen Yunyue returned, she saw Ah Si had already started a fire and was boiling water. He stood up and took the thatched net bag from Shen Yunyue's hand. "Miss Yue, I'll go wash it and bring it back to boil."
"good."
Shen Yunyue sat down next to Fu Xuanheng.
He took a few sweet potatoes from his sleeve and roasted them next to the fire.
He quietly stuffed a few candies into Shen Yunzheng's mouth and whispered:
"Take it and share it with Lingbao and the others."
Shen Yunzheng held Shen Yunyue's neck with both hands and kissed her on the face. A few silver threads were left on Shen Yunyue's face, and she let out a disgusted sound.
Shen Yun was so happy that he ran away laughing.
Fu Xuanheng frowned and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe Shen Yunyue clean.
"Look at your hands, they are so dirty. Let me wipe them clean for you." Fu Xuanheng pulled Shen Yunyue's hand over and wiped it carefully.
Shen Yunyue had a smile on her lips, and Fu Xuanheng didn't seem as cold as he was in the book.
Not far away, there was a commotion.
I heard someone making a noise.
Some people who were resting by the woods also ran over to watch the fun.
The Shen family members are afraid of getting into trouble and don't like to watch the fun.
The noise was coming from the Peng family. Xiangling knelt on the ground, holding An'er and crying bitterly:
"Sister Ru, why do you do this to me?"
