Shanghe Village was the original owner's maternal home. If Yue Jiuyue really went home with the old lady, and Qin Shi made a fuss, Yue Jiuyue didn't think she could leave the village that night.
That's grain!
Food is the most important thing for people, and no farmer would turn down grain. Otherwise, Qin would not have sent the old lady to Yue Jiuyue's house to ask for rice seedlings after learning that there was new grain in Linjiagou Village.
As Yue Jiuyue hurried out of Shanghe Village, she was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard a group of people shouting and yelling behind her.
Could it be that the Qin family and their men came out looking for her?
Yue Jiuyue felt panicked and dared not take the small path anymore, so she hurriedly walked up the mountain.
With bushes and weeds providing cover, there's no fear of being caught.
Late at night, even grown men wouldn't dare go up the mountain alone, so no one would have thought that Yue Jiuyue would be so audacious as to go up the mountain.
The outermost mountain is relatively safe; large wild animals rarely come here. Yue Jiuyue didn't stay still in one place. She continued walking along the path halfway up the mountain, not afraid of making noise and attracting the attention of the people below. On the contrary, because of the group of people below, she became bolder and no longer worried about animals suddenly running out.
The group walked for about ten minutes, but failed to catch up with her, so they went back cursing.
Yue Jiuyue didn't know whether she should breathe a sigh of relief or brace herself, because the road ahead was going to be difficult!
She carefully descended the mountain and walked along the mountain path again, glancing left and right every now and then, her mouth opening and closing as she muttered to herself:
"Prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony..."
Yes, Yue Jiuyue was not only afraid that an animal would suddenly jump out and swallow her whole, but she was also afraid that a ghost would suddenly appear and steal her ghost away.
"Mother! Is that you, Mother?"
The sound seemed quite far away, and Yue Jiuyue was even startled when she first heard it. But there's no denying that at that moment, this sound was a lifesaver for Yue Jiuyue.
Hey! I'm right here!
Yue Jiuyue waved in response, not worried that the other party wouldn't see her.
Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei ran towards Yue Jiuyue with a thumping sound; it was the most beautiful sound Yue Jiuyue had ever heard.
"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock".
Even the moonlight seemed gentler, and even the jagged shadows resembled an ink wash painting.
"Mother, we've come to take you home!"
Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei each supported Yue Jiuyue on one side, the two brothers wearing the same smile. It was the first time Yue Jiuyue thought that the two brothers' dark faces were actually quite handsome.
"Sigh! I must say, walking alone at night is really scary for Mother."
Yue Jiuyue expressed her true feelings. Unlike the original owner, she couldn't bear everything on her own like the original owner did, otherwise she would suffer in the future.
"Mom, I heard it all from my sister-in-law. Grandma came to our house asking for grain and sweet potato seedlings, but you gave her the leftover wild vegetables. They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
Lin Chaonan asked with concern.
Yue Jiuyue smiled awkwardly; she had completely forgotten about the wild vegetables.
"Well, just now, your grandma was worried that I would go to her house and have to eat a meal there, so she didn't invite me in, and she forgot to give me these wild vegetables."
What she said wasn't entirely untrue; the old lady was indeed worried that she would want to eat at their house, which was why she urged her to leave quickly.
