Lin Jingyue left with two old quilts and some household items. As for pots and pans, forget about them; the kitchen only had two large iron pots, which were impossible to give her. So, she could only settle for compensating the Chen family for the damaged items one-to-one.
After this battle, her reputation was well-established. A feisty, divorced woman, not to be trifled with, and quite audacious.
She doesn't care what others think of her, but the Chen family probably won't dare to mess with her anymore. They were thinking about getting the second son back together before, but now they don't want to at all. It's better to let this plague go and cause trouble for others.
When Lin Jingyue returned home, the messy things in the yard had been tidied up. Although it wasn't perfectly neat and clean, it was much better than before.
"Mom, you're back!" Chen Mingyue looked at the person who came in with surprise, holding a pile of trash in her hand, and smiled shyly.
"Wow, you're so amazing! You cleaned so well all by yourself. How about Mommy comes over and helps you?"
Chen Mingyue had never been bombarded with sweet words before, but this feeling made her feel very comfortable. "Okay."
With the mother and daughter working together, it didn't take long to clean the yard.
The yard may look large, but it's actually quite dilapidated and looks like it could collapse at any moment. No wonder people don't want this house; the location is bad, the house itself is bad, and the only valuable asset is the land itself.
Although the Chen family did not take the grain with them, the little grain in the jar would not last more than a few days, which is probably why they did not take a liking to it.
At this time, Lin Jingyue also felt the characteristics of this era, tightening her belt to make a living, wishing she could split every penny in two.
After hesitating for a moment, I decided not to cook any rice, but instead made porridge, boiled some wild vegetables, and steamed two bowls of egg custard.
Even with such simple food, Chen Mingyue ate with great relish. Although she was small, she was still growing, so she ate a lot.
The saying "A half-grown boy can bankrupt his father" is not without merit.
It seems that making money is now a pressing matter.
The grain would only be distributed after the autumn harvest, and she wasn't 100% sure about the exams. The only thing that could change her life was probably going to that place.
But you need to have something in your hands to go to that place.
After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the basket.
"Sweetie, would you like to come up the mountain with Mommy, or stay at home?"
Chen Mingyue was counting the fruit candies in her hand when she heard her mother ask her this question. She immediately replied, "Go up the mountain!"
Based on past experience, I've almost always made a profit on these trips up the mountain, bringing back at least five or six wild eggs every day. How could I possibly refuse something that could improve my life?
In addition, children are naturally lively, and if they can go out for a walk, they would never want to stay at home.
Lin Jingyue took her tools and went up the mountain. After instructing her to gather firewood at the foot of the mountain, she went up the mountain alone.
I used to be very interested in survival videos, and the people in them often shared their experiences. Based on her memory, she should, probably, maybe, perhaps, be able to make a few traps?
Fortunately, this brigade didn't have any hunters, so there were no other traps left in the mountains. Plus, with the system as her cheat code, she could simply analyze the prey's tracks and leave traps along their likely routes.
After racking my brains for a while, I finally managed to create a trap. It was a simple rope trap; anyone who stepped on it would be entangled in a rope made of vines, and if they couldn't escape, they would only be left to die.
However, we'll have to test its practicality tomorrow.
There are plenty of wild fruits in the mountains, so she doesn't need any bait. She just picks some wild fruits, puts them in the trap, and waits for those who are willing to take the bait.
Lin Jingyue stood up, wiping the sweat from her forehead. She felt a little dizzy for a moment after standing up. Squatting for so long had caused her brain to be a little oxygen-deprived.
The traps became easier to set, and with the help of the system, several nests of wild eggs were found, and the surrounding herbs that could be sold were also dug up.
In addition, she found several wild Chinese purslane plants, cassava, and kudzu roots. She went to a place not frequented by villagers, so these things hadn't been dug up, which benefited her.
These plants grow in the ground and are very difficult to dig up. In addition, she had no experience, so she easily broke them.
Looking at the pieces of Huaisheng lying in front of him, he almost laughed in exasperation.
Lin Jingyue sighed. It was impossible to dig it all out completely, so they had to give up on the parts underground. Otherwise, it would get dark before they could dig any further.
They gathered some firewood and placed it on top as cover, then checked the sky and went down the mountain.
She initially thought the child was safe at the foot of the mountain, but she forgot that the village children often came to play there.
Before we even reached the foot of the mountain, we could hear the sounds of laughter and merriment.
"Your dad doesn't want you anymore, you're a money-loser, you're a money-loser."
"Your mother is a divorced woman, and you're a money-loser, hahaha."
“My mother said that you will be abandoned in the future too, because you are not a boy.”
The firewood Chen Mingyue had gathered was scattered to the side. She kept her head down, and no one could see her expression clearly. But a sense of loneliness and inferiority surrounded her, as if she might be pulled into an abyss at any moment.
Lin Jingyue's heart tightened, and she quickly went down the mountain. "What are you doing? Bullying my daughter, are you looking for death?"
Upon hearing the commotion, the children scattered without hesitation.
Ignoring the children, Lin Jingyue went straight to Chen Mingyue, squatted down, and asked, "Baby, are you alright? Did they hit you? Mommy shouldn't have left you here alone. It was Mommy's fault. Are you hurt?"
She was terrified that those bastards would hit her child when she wasn't looking.
Chen Mingyue slowly shook her head. "I'm fine, Mom."
"It's alright, it's alright." Lin Jingyue breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered what the children had said, pulled the person into her arms, and hugged her tightly. "Don't worry, Mom will always be your mom, I will never abandon you. You are my flesh and blood, born after ten months of pregnancy, how could Mom abandon you?"
The little one in her arms didn't speak, but slowly, her two tiny hands returned the embrace.
"Mom, I believe you." Mom is the best person in the world. How could she possibly have other ideas because of a stranger's provocation?
"Yes, you're such a good baby. Let's go home."
She wouldn't let those who bullied her child get away with it. But she'd already made a scene today; any more would only annoy people.
There are many ways to get revenge; we'll have plenty of time for that!
