After burying the snake, Shu Jiaying found a small cave not far away. When she dug the cave, she was surprised to find that the creature inside was not an ordinary mouse, but a fat and delicious bamboo rat.
Bamboo rats are much tastier than ordinary mice.
After catching a few bamboo rats and bringing them down the mountain, Shu Jiaying first returned to the house in the back mountain to simply process the herbs. Then she left the kitchen. When she passed by her room, she looked out the window and saw an aloe vera plant on the table?
The whole aloe vera plant is a treasure. It has the functions of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, beauty and skin care, cardiotonic and blood circulation, and anti-aging. But how could this aloe vera plant appear in his room?
A handsome face appeared in Shu Jiaying's mind.
It’s him—Yu Chenfeng!
Thinking of Yu Chenfeng, Shu Jiaying remembered the time when he saw her face, which was so ugly that it could not be described with adjectives.
Shu Jiaying thought, could Yu Chenfeng think that a small aloe vera plant can make her face beautiful?
He really despised himself.
Thinking of this, Shu Jiaying couldn't help but smile at herself. In fact, why should she care what Yu Chenfeng thought of her? They were from two different worlds anyway. As long as she cured his illness, they would owe each other nothing and could go their separate ways.
Picking up the aloe vera on the table and throwing it into the backpack, Shu Jiaying carried the aloe vera and the bamboo rat back to Xiaohua's home.
Xiaohua was still asleep at this time. Shu Jiaying took the bamboo rat to the kitchen, slaughtered it, and marinated it. After she washed the rice and cooked it, and was about to go to the back of the house to pick some wild vegetables to make soup, she heard the voice of Village Chief Xu outside the door.
Hearing the call from Village Chief Xu, Shu Jiaying happily went out to greet him.
"Uncle Xu, why are you here? Do you know what I caught in the mountains today? It's a bamboo rat. I was planning to roast it and send it to you and Grandma Xu, but now that you're here, there's no need. Can you take the roasted bamboo rat to Grandma Xu for me?"
"Jiaying girl..."
Village Chief Xu interrupted Shu Jiaying's chatter.
"Actually, I came to you this time because I have something happy to share with you."
"What's the good news? Uncle Xu, tell me!"
Knowing that Captain Xu had something good to say, Shu Jiaying wiped her wet hands with her apron, sat on the chair, and asked Captain Xu to sit down as well.
Village Chief Xu nodded. He looked at Shu Jiaying and said excitedly, "Jiaying, did you know that Uncle Xu is getting married in two days? Uncle Xu has always treated you as his own daughter, so when I made the decision, I wanted to tell you the good news as soon as possible."
"real?"
Upon hearing the news, Shu Jiaying was also happy for Village Chief Xu. She blurted out, "That's great. But which girl is so lucky to marry Uncle Xu? I think this girl must have been chosen by Grandma Xu for you, right?"
Uncle Xu, I believe in Grandma Xu's judgment. She is always very accurate in judging people. If she finds a wife for you, then it will definitely be the right one."
Village Chief Xu shook his head, and a look of frustration appeared on his face when he talked about his mother.
"Girl, your grandma didn't choose my daughter-in-law, and she doesn't think much of her."
"Why? If someone likes Uncle Xu, I think he shouldn't be too bad."
Village Chief Xu smiled bitterly and replied, "She's a good person, but she just doesn't have a good reputation outside..."
