The old clan chief quickly nodded and said, "I sent someone to check early this morning. There were a few sections of the road that had been washed away, but they have all been cleared. There's no problem on the main road."
Old Feng quickly went to hitch up the car.
As evening approached, Lao Feng drove back.
Da Shan helped the old clan chief down from the car, and with a smile, he took out several contracts and handed them to Zhou Shi. "Tian Kuang's mother, take a look. These are red contracts, and they have been changed to your Tian Kuang's name. Please keep them safe."
Zhou received the red papers with trembling hands, feeling both grateful and melancholy.
Seeing Zhou's expression, Da Shan knew she was worried about managing the mountain in the future, so he patted his chest and said, "Tian Kuang's mother, your cousin saved our lives. Although this mountain is difficult to manage, if you need to clear land or plant trees, just call out, and I, Da Shan, will not hesitate!"
Zhou smiled awkwardly, "Well... we're all novices, and we'll have to rely on your help in the future."
Ask the elderly, weak, women and children who have never worked in the fields for three generations to reclaim wasteland and cultivate the mountains.
All she could do was chuckle.
However… since it was Xiaoyou Ran's idea, she always felt… perhaps something could actually be grown on that mountain…
The villagers brought a lot of food today, and with that half-cart of grain, we won't have to worry about food for the next few days.
Little Youran ran over at this moment, pointed cutely at her nose and said, "Uncle Dashan, were you talking about me just now?"
Da Shan patted her head and said, "You little girl, you're a lucky person!"
Xiao Youran shook her head, "I'm not expensive, I'm a big spender."
Da Shan laughed heartily and exchanged a glance with the old clan chief.
The old clan chief also laughed so hard he bent over, "Little girl, you're so funny!"
"Grandpa Chief, does that mountain belong to our family?"
The old clan chief teased her deliberately, "Didn't you say it wasn't your family, but Tian Kuang's family?"
Xiao Youran looked up at Zhou Shi and said, "That's our family, and Tian Kuang's family is Tian Kuang's family. But to outsiders, Tian Kuang's family is our family. Aunt, is what Baby said right?"
Mrs. Zhou laughed heartily, picked up little Youran and kissed her, "Baby is so right! To outsiders, we are one family!"
The old clan chief laughed heartily, "Your little girl is truly amusing!"
Da Shan chuckled, then suddenly remembered something and said to Zhou Shi, "Of these three mountains, only the one on the east side is climbable. The other two are too steep; we've never climbed them. If you want to hunt some wild rabbits or something, just go to the closest one on the east side."
Zhou sighed again and nodded to indicate that she understood.
Xiao Youran quickly asked, "Is a wild rabbit the same as a little white rabbit?"
Da Shan: ...
During dinner that evening, Xiao Youran clearly noticed that the way the Yun family kids looked at her was very different.
She probably only knew that during the month and a half she stayed at a family's house in the capital, she hadn't left a good impression on them, to the point that the Yun family's children looked at her with great disgust.
Yesterday, while feeding them at the dinner table, she briefly recalled the good deeds she had done for these little brats.
For example... she bullied all three children from the fourth wife's family.
The third sister, Yun Manying, was very good at taking care of her two younger brothers and often took the fifth and sixth brothers out for a stroll.
She has always been lawless and likes to wander around aimlessly.
Moreover, at that time, her brother clearly did not have the awareness to dote on his sister, so she wandered around the Yun residence by herself.
Once, while strolling through the back garden, I saw Yun Mengying with her two younger brothers picking wildflowers among the flowers, preparing to make a flower wreath.
She went up to them and mocked their poor taste, saying that the flowers they picked were all crooked and broken. She snatched the few bunches of wildflowers they had painstakingly collected, threw them on the ground, and trampled them to pieces.
In the blink of an eye, she arrived at the shed in the garden where peonies were grown separately, and picked all the peonies that were being cared for so well.
Yun Manying was so frightened that she burst into tears.
But she was still smugly stuffing those precious peonies into her hands.
Just then, a maid representing Aunt Zhou came over and saw it. She assumed that Yun Manying had done it and reported the matter to Aunt Zhou.
Zhou then severely punished Yun Manying.
Yun Manying was on the verge of tears, unable to defend herself no matter what she said. The fifth and sixth sons were too young, and no one believed her.
She had no choice but to copy the Rules for Women twenty times, tears streaming down her face.
Of course, Xiao Youran also remembered her eldest sister's embroidered shoes that she had innocently thrown into the pond, her second sister's hairpin that she had forcibly snatched and crushed, and her fourth sister's handkerchief that was fragrant but which she had refused to give to her but which she had snatched and cut up.
There were also the pastries and sweets she had snatched from her third, fifth, and sixth cousins, along with the porcelain plates and bowls that suffered the same fate...
Thinking of such outrageous things, Xiao Youran could only comfort herself at this moment that she was young and ignorant at the time, and that the past is like smoke, so let it go, let it go.
So last night, even though a group of children were sitting around the table, she felt awkward and guilty facing these cousins she had bullied, and naturally had no desire to talk to them much.
So the young ladies and gentlemen of the Yun family assumed that their little cousin was still as arrogant and unapproachable as ever.
At this moment, the large round table in the outer hall of the Yun family was finally fully occupied.
This was also the first meal that the Su family, mother and her two children, had together with the Yun family after arriving in Sanyang Village.
The children gathered around, chattering quietly, mostly discussing the families on the east side of the village who had been swept away by the flood. Every now and then, they would cast curious glances at the Jiang siblings.
Jiang Youran occasionally received this casual glance, and suddenly felt a sense of pride.
Although my younger sister's actions last night were an outrageous and wasteful act, she inadvertently saved the lives of more than twenty people, which is truly a great deed.
This act of merit earned the Yun family three mountain peaks, as well as an unlimited supply of grain and vegetables for the next few days.
He felt that his great-aunt should no longer resist.
Just like my sister said yesterday, their surname is Jiang, not Su.
The great-aunt rejected the Su family's money and grain, but the three mountains and the villagers' gratitude to them were earned by her sister's good fortune.
However, Yun Tianyi lay on the table, his eyes filled with anger as he looked at Xiao Youran. When Xiao Youran cast a questioning glance at him for the third time, he couldn't help but complain, "You must have put some kind of drug in the meat and vegetables last night, right? I've had diarrhea all day since last night."
