After you finish eating, just ask your uncle to return the basket to me.
Also, when you take this back, try to avoid people, okay?
And don't eat it in public.
Having traveled all the way from Wuning Prefecture, even the naive Lin Shan knew the value of food.
Upon seeing the basket and hearing Chi Yu describe what was inside, her eyes lit up, and she felt a surge of energy coursing through her body.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Auntie Xiaoyu, thank you so much."
After saying this, Lin Shan was about to leave, but before she had taken a few steps, she suddenly turned back and asked:
"Auntie Little Fish, are you going to collect those snails again this afternoon or tomorrow?"
If you're busy, my uncle and aunt can pick them up and bring them to you.
Chi Yu hadn't expected to hear this, but looking into her hopeful eyes, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to refuse.
"Okay, then you can pick them up. No matter how much you pick up, you can give it to me after dark."
Well, I'll have my nephew come and get it after dark. You don't need to come. Let's just meet at the foot of the mountain.
However, I can't ask you to work for free. An'an, do you want food or money?
As for silver, I'll only calculate it by the bucket.
The bucket I'm using today costs eight coins.
Of course, I only accept yours; I don't need to accept anyone else's.
The snails should be the same size as the ones we just picked up; those that are too small should remain in the river.
If you want food, I will give you an appropriate amount based on what you find.
For example, a few cornbreads, a few steamed buns, a few flatbreads, or a few steamed dumplings.
Knowing how hard it is to produce food, Lin Shan listened patiently and then quickly said, "Aunt Xiaoyu, I can make the decision."
We need food, yes, we need to eat. But it's getting hot, so I need food that can withstand being stored for a while.
Chi Yu nodded and then waved to her.
Lin Shan left in a joyful mood.
Being an optimist by nature, she raised her voice in response as she heard the approaching sound:
"Aunt, I'm here!"
Su Yu felt uneasy when she saw that her niece, who had gone out to wash up, had not returned for a long time.
When she came out to look for him, she searched many places but couldn't find him.
Just as she was about to go back and ask someone for help, she finally heard the girl's voice.
As she breathed a sigh of relief, her anger surged up again.
Of course, there was more fear than anything else.
God knows how many worst-case scenarios she imagined while she couldn't see anyone for a long time.
Therefore, after she saw Lin Shan, looked her up and down, and confirmed that she was indeed alright, she roared:
"You little rascal, how old are you? Why are you still so fond of playing in the water?"
"Hurry up and get up here, or you'll catch a cold, and then I'll see what you do."
Lin Shan wore a bright smile, unaware that her aunt was waiting for her to come ashore, ready to teach her a lesson.
"Aunt, look what this is!"
When the little girl said this, her eyes were full of a desire for praise.
Looking at her innocent smile, Su Yu's anger suddenly vanished.
Well, this girl's mind isn't very sharp because her mother was too weak to give birth to her and was held back by stress. She doesn't take things to heart.
Why should she bother with someone so heartless?
Despite her thoughts, she followed Lin Shan's lead and asked:
"Oh? Where did you get that basket? What's inside? Let your aunt take a look."
