Zhao Cuifen's ingratiating expression froze instantly, and after a long while, she awkwardly said, "The county magistrate has so many important matters to attend to every day, so let's not bother him with these trivial things..."
Yun Duo shook her head seriously, saying with a hint of disdain, "How can this be a small matter? It's clearly a challenge to the county magistrate's authority. If one or two people challenge his authority and he ignores it, others will follow suit. Then, no one will listen to the county magistrate, and how can he manage our county well? So, the county magistrate himself said that such people must be dealt with as soon as they are discovered, so that those who have such thoughts will know the consequences and dare not disobey his orders again."
Zhao Cuifen was a little flustered, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "You child, who would dare to disobey the county magistrate's orders? Really... really... children just like to talk nonsense..." As she spoke, she picked up the bamboo tube containing water next to her, took a few sips, and said, "I'm just thirsty, I'm just here to drink some water, it's not to disobey the county magistrate's orders, the county magistrate can't just not let people drink water, can he..." With that, she walked back towards the field.
However, after turning around and making sure that Yun Duo couldn't see her face, Zhao Cuifen's face fell, and she looked like she wanted to bite Yun Duo a few times.
Seeing Zhao Cuifen return empty-handed, Yun Yusheng began to have doubts and considered giving up. However, after licking his lips, he couldn't resist the temptation of the honey water he had drunk earlier. He ran up to Yun Qishi, pretending not to see Yun Duo, and said to her, "Grandma, I want to drink water."
“Isn’t the water right over there? Your mother just drank from it,” Yun Qishi said, glancing at the bamboo tube beside her.
Yun Yusheng immediately shook his head and said, "No, I want to drink yours."
"Isn't it all the same..." After all, he was her own grandson, and Yun Qishi still felt a little sorry for him. She glanced at Yun Duo with a slightly guilty look, then handed her water bottle to Yun Yusheng and said deliberately, "Drink up, drink up. It's all the same boiled water. Can you really taste a different flavor?"
Yun Duo pretended not to understand and simply said to Yun Qi Shi, "Grandma, I'll go look up the hill and see if there are any mushrooms."
In fact, she had just picked all the termite mushrooms that she and Xiao Jiu had specially cultivated yesterday, along with Li Bingchen, not even letting go of the ones that had just sprouted. So where would she find any mushrooms today?
Yun Qishi was also aware of this.
However... the bees and honey in the house were actually brought by the queen bee that Yun Duo initially 'picked up'. Moreover, the bee colony has always been managed by the granddaughter and the old man. It can be said that the honey in the house today is all thanks to the granddaughter and the old man.
Although it was a small matter that she gave her grandson honey water, it was still a little unsettling that her granddaughter caught her doing it.
Therefore, when Yun Duo said she wanted to find mushrooms, Yun Qi nodded in agreement: "Go ahead, go ahead. You must be tired after going to the county town. It's good for you to take a walk on the hillside. Consider it a trip."
"Okay, Grandma, I'll go now." Yun Duo said with a smile, and then walked up the slope into the shady woods.
Xiao Jiu quickly caught up with Yun Duo, flew to her side, and asked, "Master, what's wrong? Why do you suddenly seem upset?"
