Great, this is a new discovery.
This discovery made Yu Qiuying feel a little happier.
The next morning, after breakfast, Yu Qiuying and Zhou Cailian went out and happened to see Zhou Qiliang carrying a black cloth bag and walking away in a hurry.
The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, and Zhou Cailian whispered, "Is he going to the county?"
"Probably." Yu Qiuying thought it was good that he left, otherwise she was worried that Zhou Qiliang would find a chance to ambush his youngest son and beat him up.

After a rainstorm after the start of winter, the weather has been getting colder day by day.
After the weather cleared up completely, every household started drying cured meats, such as cured chicken, cured duck, cured fish, cured meat, sausages, and those who could afford it would also cure a couple of pig trotters.
Yu Qiuying and Zhou Cailian were busy for several days, drying two salted ducks, twenty sausages, two pieces of cured pork, and two pieces of cured fish.
After finishing all that, I pulled up all the radishes from the field and bought ten large jars to put in my space, preparing to make dried radishes.
My family didn't grow many radishes, only made two jars of dried radishes. Fortunately, I had already arranged with Wang Xiuying to buy her radishes.
Originally, it was agreed that she would be paid at the market price, but Wang Xiuying refused to accept her money no matter what. In the end, Yu Qiuying simply gave her two jars of dried radish.
After breakfast that day, Yu Qiuying went to the village entrance, hoping to ask Li Xingcai, who ran a small shop there, if he could sell her some radishes.
As soon as I entered the store, I overheard Huang Guifang and several women knitting sweaters talking about "asking the immortals".
"Are you going tomorrow? I want to see if the sorceress in Tutang Village is really that amazing. I heard that a lot of people from Shuiba Village have gone to see her these past few days."
“I’m not going. Everything’s going smoothly at home. Why would I bother going to that place? It’s just a waste of money.”
"Yeah, it's not like it's free, I'm not going."
Upon hearing the words "Shuiba Village," Yu Qiuying's heart skipped a beat. "What are you talking about? What kind of sorceress is this? Is something happening that I don't know about?"
When it comes to gossip, Huang Guifang gets more excited than anyone else.
She slapped her thigh and started chattering to Yu Qiuying, “Of course! Let me tell you, something amazing happened in that Shuiba Village. You know the coffin makers there, right? Their son suddenly developed a persistent fever last month, and even after being taken to the provincial hospital, he couldn't be cured. Guess what? A few days ago, they went to Tutang Village to find a fortune teller. The fortune teller examined him and found two men with supposedly very strong birth charts to stay at the coffin maker's old home. And that's when the amazing thing happened—the coffin maker's son's fever really did go down these past two days!”
"Isn't it amazing? You wouldn't believe it, but these past few days, a lot of people from Shuiba Village have gone to Tutang Village to see that sorceress. I also want to go and see if that sorceress is really that powerful. Widow Yu, do you want to come with me tomorrow?"
Yu Qiuying smiled and said, "I won't go. You go by yourself."
She didn't chat with them any longer. She went inside and told Li Xingcai's wife, Ma Dongxue, that she wanted to buy some radishes from her family.
These days, every household grows radishes, and nobody would spend money to buy from someone else. So when Ma Dongxue heard that Yu Qiuying wanted to buy her radishes, she grinned and agreed without even thinking.
After agreeing to go to the field to pull radishes early the next morning, Yu Qiuying went back.
After lunch, she changed into more presentable clothes and went to Shuiba Village.
The two villages are actually not far apart, separated only by a river. However, the bridge to Shuiba Village is on the lower village side, so you have to go around from the upper village.
In her previous life, Yu Qiuying had visited Shuiba Village a few times. This village was not as big as her Xiaoxi Village, and the households were scattered.
However, the family that made the coffin did not live in the village, but at the foot of the low mountain, far away from the village.
As Yu Qiuying entered Shuiba Village, she had just asked the people under the big locust tree at the village entrance about the coffin-making family's hometown when a woman with particularly protruding teeth stood up and said very enthusiastically, "You've come to find Old Yan's family to make coffins, right? Come on, come on, I'll take you there."
