As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at Yao Qingshuang with admiration, their eyes full of praise and recognition for her foresight.
Yao Qingshuang felt very pleased to be looked at like this by everyone. For a moment, she felt as if she was walking on clouds. It took her a long time to come back to her senses.
She coughed lightly, waved her hand, and said, "Alright, let's not talk about ginseng anymore. We're all tired all day, let's go to bed."
Night enveloped the entire village, and there was silence all around, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the stillness of the night.
After everyone fell into a deep sleep, Yao Qingshuang got up carefully, fearing that any noise would wake others.
She used the moonlight to come to the place where the grain was stored.
She found the bag of yam that had just been dug today, and hurriedly took out some yam from her own supermarket space and carefully mixed it in with the yam she had dug today.
After preparing the yam, she looked at the other food placed nearby and found that there was not much food left. She gritted her teeth, took out some food from the supermarket space, and gently added it to the pile of food, which was already not much.
However, she didn't dare add too much. After all, if this was discovered, she really didn't know how to explain it.
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Li Zhaodi got up early as usual to prepare dinner.
She came to the place where the grain was stored with sleepy eyes, ready to take out some grain to cook porridge.
The moment she opened the bag, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned. She looked at the bag of grain with a puzzled look on her face, and always felt that there seemed to be a little more grain in the bag than yesterday.
She rubbed her eyes and looked carefully again, but still felt something was wrong and was puzzled.
When the family sat together for dinner, Li Zhaodi couldn't help but tell everyone about what she had discovered in the morning.
After hearing this, everyone was stunned at first, and then looked incredulous.
Su Wenjun shoveled his food into his mouth while nonchalantly saying, "Second sister-in-law, was it because it was too dark last night that you saw it wrong? The more you eat, the less food there is. How can it possibly increase? You must have been too tired from traveling these past few days and your eyes must be blurry, so you saw it wrongly."
Yao Qingshuang was sitting aside, and after hearing what Su Wenjun said, she suddenly felt a little guilty.
She coughed lightly, pretending to be calm, and then agreed, "Yes, the third brother is right, second brother's wife, you must be too tired from traveling, so it's normal to make a mistake. How can the food become more for no reason? You must not have seen it clearly at the moment."
After saying this, she secretly glanced at everyone's expressions, praying silently in her heart that no one would delve into it any further.
At the dinner table, everyone cast suspicious glances at Li Zhaodi, as if silently saying that she must have seen it wrong.
Li Zhaodi felt uneasy when she was looked at by these people, and her original firm thoughts began to waver.
She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that I really saw it wrong?
It was indeed quite dark last night, and I was indeed quite groggy. Perhaps my eyes were blurry and I misjudged the amount of food.
As she thought about this, a hint of hesitation gradually appeared on her face, and the unshakable conviction she had just had dissipated a lot.
Yao Qingshuang secretly observed the changes in Li Zhaodi's expression, and secretly felt fortunate that no one believed what Li Zhaodi said. But at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She didn't expect Li Zhaodi to be so perceptive that she could sense something was wrong just because there was a little more food.
It seems that I have to be more careful when taking things from the supermarket in the future.
At this moment, the sound of gongs suddenly rang out, indicating that they were getting ready to set off.
When Li Zhaodi heard the familiar sound of the gong, she instantly forgot about the food issue. She quickly stood up, swiftly put on her luggage, and followed everyone else.
Seeing that Li Zhaodi was no longer worried about the increase in food, Yao Qingshuang finally let go of her worries.
She also hurriedly picked up her luggage and walked forward with the crowd.
Along the way, Yao Qingshuang walked with slightly tired steps, frowning and lost in deep thought.
They had been walking in the vast mountains for almost half a month, but the mountains seemed to have no end and were still continuous. At a glance, there were lush trees and rolling hills everywhere, and they could not see where the other end of the mountain was.
When will we be able to get out of these vast mountains?
Since they had spent too much time in the mountains, the village chief, after careful consideration, decided that no one should rest at noon today. They should keep on traveling and only stop to rest in the evening.
Although this will make everyone more tired, it is the only way to get out of the mountains as quickly as possible.
Yao Qingshuang secretly felt relieved that Old Lady Yao was in good health and could withstand such a long walk.
If it were her body from her previous life, she would probably collapse from exhaustion before she could even walk for a day, and then she would become a burden to everyone.
As they walked, Yao Qingshuang inadvertently raised her eyes and saw that something was wrong with Li Zhaodi beside her.
Li Zhaodi was seen holding her stomach tightly with one hand. Her originally rosy face had turned pale and bloodless. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and she looked extremely uncomfortable.
Yao Qingshuang's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. She quickly walked over to Li Zhaodi and asked with concern, "Second brother's wife, what's wrong with you? You look as pale as paper. Are you feeling unwell?"
"Mom, I'm fine." When Li Zhaodi heard Yao Qingshuang's question, she tried hard to force a smile, trying to make Yao Qingshuang not worry about her.
But the smile on her pale face seemed so forced that anyone who saw it could tell that she was forcing it.
Yao Qingshuang was not fooled by her forced smile. She looked at Li Zhaodi carefully and saw that her body was shaking slightly, as if she was about to fall down at the next moment.
Yao Qingshuang's heart tightened, and she quickly reached out and supported her. She said seriously, "If you're sick, go see Doctor Bai. Don't try to hold on. If you have any health problems, you need to get treatment as soon as possible."
