At this point, Su Miaomiao did not continue to ask questions. She even turned around and turned her back to the children to give them space.
When the fourth and fifth children saw their stepmother had turned her back, they hurriedly ran over to look for their older brothers and sisters.
"Sister, come quickly, we found the treasure."
"What treasure?"
"Hush, big sister, follow me."
Soon, the five siblings gathered together.
They were stunned at the sight of the huge pile of potatoes on the ground.
The eldest sister covered her mouth in shock and dared not make a sound. She spoke before her younger brothers could scream.

"If mother knew we found so many potatoes, she would definitely send them all to Ji Baiqing, so let's not tell her yet."
The eldest said this, tears welling up in her eyes, she sniffed and said.
