"The food is getting worse and worse. At first, there was corn and eggs, but now there's only corn porridge left. Isn't this just trying to drive my daughter and me away?"
Fang Min said indignantly.
Fang Jie felt a lump in her throat and couldn't catch her breath.
He looked at his younger sister with disappointment.
It was one thing to be willful and selfish when I was a child, but now that I'm not young anymore, I'm married and have children, and I'm a wife and mother, why am I still so immature?
Song Fanxing immediately ran to pour a bowl of water from the kettle and brought it over.
"Mom, have some water."
Fang Jie took a sip of water, and the gasp subsided, making her feel a little better.
Her little cotton-padded jacket is still the best.
Song Yaohui: "Auntie, didn't you already search the house yourself? All we have left is cornmeal. If you still don't believe me, you can go and search again."
Fang Jie was unaware that Fang Min had rummaged through things at home yesterday and eaten all the peaches in the water tank.
She glanced at the water tank this morning and saw there weren't any peaches, assuming the children had shared them. She didn't think much of it.
According to the eldest son, his younger sister found and ate the peach.
It's not that she's not given any food, but Fang Min's ransacking of her house made her very uncomfortable.
Fang Min didn't dare look at Fang Jie, and stopped causing trouble. She just held her bowl and drank her corn porridge.
After eating, Fang Jie went to work.
Fang Min lay dead on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Song Fanxing took some time to enter the Spirit Spring Space.
Wow, the peppers, eggplants, green beans, and cucumbers I planted yesterday are ready to eat! The scallions were too old to produce seeds, so she harvested them and replanted them. The dandelions were also old, so she replanted them too. The sweet potatoes and potatoes are growing rapidly; they should be ready to eat tomorrow.
The rotten wood was covered with black fungus and hazel mushrooms. She found a shallow bamboo basket, picked the black fungus and hazel mushrooms and threw them in to dry. She then poured a ladle of spiritual spring water on the rotten wood.
After accumulating these for a few days, you can sell them on the black market.
Black fungus and dried hazel mushrooms are valuable items and can fetch a good price.
Next, Song Fanxing picked some peppers, eggplants, green beans, cucumbers, and corn.
She can't simply bring these dishes home.
So he left the Spirit Spring Space first, and while Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua weren't paying attention, he grabbed a large basket and ran towards his private plot.
When she returned, Song Yaohui and the others were stunned.
Song Fanxing said, "The vegetables in our family's private plot are ready to eat. I picked some and brought them back."
Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua didn't believe it; the vegetables in their family's private plot weren't this fresh. No, there weren't any edible vegetables in their family's private plot at all.
They immediately guessed what was going on, but remained silent.
Fang Min didn't care where the things came from; she had a big smile on her face.
"Finally, something good to eat. It would be even better if there was some meat."
She thought to herself, "They said there was no food, but they brought back so much food."
The older sister's family definitely wanted to kick them out, so they pretended to be poor.
Ye Fangxuan stood next to her and licked her lips.
The countryside is wonderful; there are so many delicious things to eat there.
She really wanted to stay in the countryside, at her aunt's house.
Song Yaohui realized that his sister was carrying a basket of food, which must be very heavy.
I rushed to pick it up.
Song Fanxing let go.
Goodness, Song Yaohui almost fell to the ground because he couldn't catch it.
This basket is used for cutting pig feed; it's quite large, and right now it's filled to the brim with vegetables, making it very heavy.
How did he manage to lift his tiny, adorable little sister so easily?
Song Yaohui looked at Song Fanxing with a strange expression.
Song Fanxing realized she had been exposed, and gave Song Yaohui an awkward, somewhat ingratiating smile.
I hope my brother won't tell anyone.
Song Yaohui pursed his lips, inwardly shocked but outwardly showing no emotion, and carried the dishes to the kitchen.
Seeing that he was struggling to lift it, Song Fanxing said, "Big brother, let me do it."
"Stop right there!"
Song Yaohui stopped her.
Realizing he was getting a little agitated, he softened his voice and said, "Go wash your hands obediently, and I'll take care of you."
Everyone else, including Song Yaohua, was immersed in the joy of having vegetables to eat, and no one realized that there was something wrong with Song Fanxing carrying such a large basket of vegetables.
At noon, Song Haitao rushed over in a panic.
"Song Yaohui, Grandma wants you to go."
Song Yaohui frowned. "What are you doing?"
His grandmother has never liked their family and never gave him a friendly look, so why would she suddenly look for him?
Song Haitao's expression flickered as he said, "How would I know? I'm just responsible for relaying the message. You'll find out when you get there."
"I need to cook, I'm not going."
"No, Grandma will come looking for us. Just wait and see how angry she gets."
Song Yaohui knew how difficult his grandmother was; she wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted. He didn't want her to see all the extra food at home.
So he put down the half-picked green beans he was holding and stood up.
Let's go.
Song Fanxing came out after busying herself in the Spirit Spring Space.
She stretched and went to the yard to find her two older brothers.
All I could see was Song Yaohua squatting on the ground picking green beans.
She glanced towards the kitchen; Song Yaohui wasn't there.
So he asked, "Second brother, where is eldest brother?"
"I was called away by Song Haitao."
Song Fanxing frowned. "Why did he call for his older brother?"
"They said Grandma wanted to see Big Brother about something."
Song Fanxing realized something was wrong and grabbed Song Yaohua, running out of the courtyard.
Fang Min called out from behind, "Where are you all going? Who's going to cook? Don't expect me to cook for you. I'm not here to be your housekeeper."
Ye Fangxuan seemed to be thinking about something, then jogged after him.
Song Yaohua was dragged along by Song Fanxing and ran very fast.
He was completely bewildered. How could his tiny, adorable little sister be so strong?
