Xiao Huaer raised her innocent face and asked, "How do you know it's not true? What if he really wants to marry you?"
"That's impossible. Okay, let's leave this topic aside, Xiaohua..."
Pulling Xiaohua in front of her, Shu Jiaying examined her carefully. She asked, "After eating the food containing cartilage powder, do you feel uncomfortable or weak anywhere?"
"No, didn't that young master give me the antidote? But sister, thankfully you confirmed today that I am my father's biological daughter, otherwise I would have been so sad I wanted to die."
"Why are you so sad that you want to die? Xiaohua, your life experience is not up to you to decide, so don't say such things easily in the future. Sister doesn't like to hear it."
Seeing Shu Jiaying's suddenly gloomy face, Xiaohua immediately felt something was wrong. She asked nervously, "Sister Jiaying, what did you say about my background just now? What did you mean? Are you trying to tell me that I'm really not my father's daughter?"
Shu Jiaying didn't know how to start, and Luo Dahu didn't really leave at this time.
Afraid that Luo Dahu would start targeting Xiaohua again after learning the truth, she replied vaguely, "Sister just wants you to live well. You're still young, so don't keep saying things like 'I don't want to live anymore', okay?"
"Oh, I see."
Xiaohua stopped talking.
But Shu Jiaying was still worried about Xiaohua's health. After all, she had only taken half of the antidote.
In order to allow Xiaohua to fully recover her strength, Shu Jiaying said in a commanding tone: "Go to bed quickly and have a good sleep. I'll go out and get some food. You can get up after I finish cooking."
"Sister Jiaying, can you let me go out with you?"
Shu Jiaying shook her head.
"Of course not. You are very weak, so you must stay at home."
"I……"
She originally wanted to fight for it, but seeing the seriousness in Shu Jiaying's eyes, Xiaohua agreed obediently: "Okay, Sister Jiaying, I'm going to bed. Can you come back early?"
"Um!"
Before leaving, Shu Jiaying instructed Xiaohua that except for Village Chief Xu and herself, if there was anyone knocking on the door, she must not open the door casually. After Xiaohua's personal assurance, she felt at ease to go out.
Originally, Shu Jiaying planned to buy a chicken at the village entrance to nourish Xiaohua, but the meat at the village entrance was too expensive. A chicken cost twenty cents in Fengyun Town, but it would cost almost thirty cents in Guangming Village.
Feeling her pocket, Shu Jiaying didn't even have one or two taels of silver on her. If she spent all the money, she wouldn't know how to survive in Guangming Village.
And now she not only has to support herself, but also has to support Xiaohua until her biological parents are found.
Thinking of this, Shu Jiaying gave up the idea of buying a chicken, and her footsteps inadvertently walked towards the back mountain.
Shu Jiaying thought that there were many pheasants in the mountains. If she was lucky, maybe she could catch one or two. In this way, Xiaohua would have something to eat without spending money. Besides, she could also look for any herbs that could be picked up. If she came across precious herbs, she could go to Fengyun Town to sell them tomorrow. If she only found ordinary herbs, she would have to store them.
Having made up her mind, Shu Jiaying went to her house behind the mountain to find some tools before going up the mountain.
