People these days are a bit superstitious, and Chen Fenghua is a straightforward person. After hearing Yun Duo's words, she thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's possible."
Not only Chen Fenghua, but Zhang Chunxiang also thought so. However, she didn't just think Yun Duo was lucky because she found beehives and pheasants; she thought it was because Yun Duo had a 'benefactor' looking after her!
Thinking of this, Zhang Chunxiang felt a surge of excitement and said, "Isn't it just good luck? If you ask me, our Duo girl has survived a great calamity and is sure to have good fortune in the future!"
"Yes, that's right!" Chen Fenghua nodded, looking like she agreed wholeheartedly.
Zhang Chunxiang was determined to build a good relationship with the Yun family (of course, only the Yun family with Yun Duo). Right now, her family was helping to take care of the old and young, but who knew what the situation would be like in a few years?
Therefore, Zhang Chunxiang looked at Chen Fenghua and instructed, "Alright, quickly scrape out the taro and cut it into chunks, then give it to Duoya to decorate, so she can cook it when she gets back."
She then explained to Yunduo, "It's getting dark, and your grandma is too old to cut taro. You're a young girl with delicate hands, and the taro might bite you. Let your sister Fenghua help you prepare it, and you can just take it back and put it in the pot."
Yun Duo could tell that Zhang Chunxiang was sincere, and since she wanted to "get on the village chief's good side" and maintain a good relationship through reciprocity, she didn't refuse anymore, but simply thanked her: "Yes, thank you, Auntie, and thank you, Sister Fenghua. I won't refuse anymore. I'll thank you again when I find something good in the future."
Seeing that Yun Duo was sensible and knew how to be grateful, Zhang Chunxiang thought it was good. If Yun Duo really became successful in the future, she wouldn't be afraid that Yun Duo would forget her family's kindness. So she patted Yun Duo's head and praised her, "Good child, you are sensible. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to your aunt. Even if Yun Lao Er and the others want to cause you trouble, don't be afraid. With your aunt and your uncle here, we won't let you suffer again."
That's exactly what I'm after!
Hearing Zhang Chunxiang say such things, Yunduo felt much more at ease. She quickly put on a well-behaved look and said to Zhang Chunxiang, "Thank you, Auntie. You are so kind, just like Uncle Village Chief. Thank you both."
Zhang Chunxiang laughed and said, "That's why they say people who aren't family don't enter the same door."
Chen Fenghua jokingly chimed in, "What? Is it only your uncle and aunt who are nice, but I, as their older sister, am not?"
Despite having the appearance of a child, Yun Duo felt no pressure to act cute and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, whether it's Sister Fenghua or Brother Navy."
Lu Jiajia, standing to the side, objected and quickly said, "Jiajia is fine, Dad and Mom are fine too." Then, pointing at Lu Xiaobing, she added, "Xiaobing is fine too."
This made everyone laugh, and even Wang Huilan, the village chief's eldest daughter-in-law who had been cooking in the kitchen, came out to make a few jokes.
Chen Fenghua was quick and efficient. She quickly scraped the taro clean with a small knife, then chopped it, rinsed it in water, and put it in the bowl Yunduo had previously used for chicken giblets and blood tofu. She handed it to Yunduo, saying, "Alright, Yunduo, I won't keep you any longer. Hurry home so your grandma can cook it. Our taro can withstand long cooking times; it tastes better the longer it's cooked. Go home now."
"Mmm." Yun Duo nodded quickly, took the basket with both hands, and thanked them, "Thank you, Sister Fenghua, thank you, Aunt Zhang."
Seeing that Yun Duo was struggling to carry the basket, Chen Fenghua couldn't help but say, "Never mind, I'll take you back. It's not far anyway." Without waiting for Yun Duo's reply, she took the basket from her and carried it. After saying a few words to Zhang Chunxiang, she hurriedly led Yun Duo out the door.
