The two men had no choice but to accept the gifts and quickly bowed again. "Miss Li, please rest assured, our names are Shang Xuan and Shang He. We were originally servants of the Shang family. We will do our best for our mistress. If you need anything in the future, Miss Li, please feel free to ask us."
Li Mai agreed and watched the two leave. Only when she turned around did she see the villagers all over the mountain looking at her curiously.
"Xiaomai, aren't they someone's servants? Why are you giving them so much money?" Zhou Sanniu's wife asked Li Mai curiously.
Li Mai smiled and said, "They are delivering goods on orders from their master, but I have to accept this favor, their master has to accept this favor, and the two of them have to accept this favor as well."
After saying that, she went inside to discuss with her family how to organize the supplies, without waiting for the other person to understand.
Over there, the clan chief was already calling everyone to come and distribute the grain, oil, and vegetables.
Although eighteen families were absent, they still had to be accounted for with the goods.
Zhou Quan's family didn't ask for rice or grain, as they weren't short of food. They only received some oil and a head of cabbage.
Since they didn't ask for any grain, the clan chief gave their family an extra cabbage, which Zhou Lin went to collect and thanked the clan chief for.
They spread the bamboo mats they had brought back on the ground, so they had more room to lie down. Luckily, there was some dried grass that they had found outside underneath, otherwise it would have gotten damp.

Zhao told Li Mai in a low voice what had happened here yesterday.
Two things happened yesterday. One was that when Zhou Shu's wife, Xiao Zhao, took Dou Dou to the woods, Dou Dou was running and jumping around and got bitten by a snake.
It is said that when Xiao Zhao saw the snake, she was so frightened that she ran away first. When she heard Dou Dou crying, she ran back, only to find that Dou Dou had already been bitten.
It is said that when DouDou was brought back, her ankles were swollen, and the child was so scared that she cried.
Fortunately, the doctor said it was a vegetable snake and not poisonous. He applied some blue and white herbs to it, and it seemed to be fine.
Another thing is that Zhou Daniu's family lost a silver bag, which is said to contain about five taels of silver.
However, the clan chief was not present at the time, and his family had nowhere to file a complaint. They searched each house one by one but could not find his silver bag.
