Li heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her daughter say that everything was fine.

As long as her daughter was fine, she didn't want to care at all about how the two old people in the old house were doing.

Although as a daughter-in-law, she should not have such thoughts. When her children show disrespect for the elderly, she should take on the attitude of a mother and correct them.

But she was fed up with not being treated as a human being in the old house.

"That's good. That's good. Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"

"Mother has cleaned up a room for you to live in. Do you like it? If not, I will clean up another room for you."

Li Mengyue was not very tired, and the house was not cleaned up yet, so she couldn't rest peacefully.

"Mom, I saw people in the yard and on the roof."

"Oh! You mean Liang, Dazhu, Erzhu, Daniu, Erniu and others."

"Dazhu and Erzhu are the two sons of your uncle Lao Gen, Daniu and Erniu are the sons of your Aunt Wang, Youliang is the son of the village chief, and Li De is your father's good brother."

"And your uncle, your uncle brought the two sisters Rou'er and Qiao'er to help us clean up the house."

After listening to Li's explanation, Li Mengyue knew clearly who the people were who helped with the work.

"Mom, they are working for us, we can't let them work for nothing. I'm going to go to the mountain and see if I can get some food back."

When Mrs. Li heard that her daughter wanted to go up the mountain to find food, she immediately said, "Yueyue, there's no need to go up the mountain. We have food."

After that, he took his daughter's hand, went to the room, pointed at the food on the bed, and said happily: "These are all sent by the villagers. They said that we just separated and many things need money to buy."

"The most important thing is food. Each family takes a little. They say it will help us get through the first few days."

"Here are a dozen eggs sent by the village chief's family."

Li Mengyue looked at the food on the bed. It took up more than half of the bed and looked like a lot.

Even if she didn't go to the mountains, this food would be enough for their family to eat for a month.

But judging from the appearance of the food, some people should have sent a handful of onions, some people should have sent half a pound of coarse grains, a head of cabbage, some pickled vegetables, etc.

Thinking about the fact that the villagers’ lives are not very good, but we are able to lend a helping hand to them when they are in trouble.

Although each family did not take much, she knew that this little food was enough for the whole family to have a meal, or even a whole day.

What's more, most of the families in the village sent food, and together it was a lot.

Looking at the scattered food, at this moment, Li Mengyue felt as if she understood what it meant to be touched, and her heart felt sour and swollen.

I still remember that I decided to come to Xinghua Village just to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live.

She didn't really care whether her parents denied her.

Unexpectedly, the things she didn't care about not only made her have parents who cared for her, two younger brothers who adored her, and a group of lovely and kind villagers.

But she also had a question: "Mom, if the villagers are so friendly, why do they just stand by and watch when there is a conflict between us and the old house?"

Seeing her daughter asking this question, Li knew she had to clear up her daughter's misunderstanding of the villagers, otherwise

"Yueyue, you can't blame the villagers for this. There are simply too few people in the village who read books. No, Li Jian is the only one who reads books."

"Although your village chief's grandfather's family lives well, they can't afford to support a scholar."

"Now the villagers dare to watch the fun, but they would not do so in the past. After all, Li Jian's success in the examination is not only the pride of the Li family, but also the hope of the whole village."

"Because as long as Li Jian passes the exam, all the fields in the village can be registered under his name, so there is no need to pay taxes, and a lot of food can be saved every year. Some families did not have enough to eat before, but the reduced taxes can allow the whole family to have enough food."

"It can be said that the whole village has been looking forward to Li Jian passing the exam since he passed the examination for a Tongsheng degree. They are very respectful to your grandparents, even the village chief can't compare to them. But this wait lasted for more than ten years, from full of hope to disappointment."

"Although the villagers are very disappointed with Li Jian, they still hope that he can pass the imperial examination and help them pay less taxes."

"Now that our second branch has been separated, everyone should help out if they can. Besides, your father has helped the villagers a lot in the past."

After hearing her mother's explanation, Li Mengyue understood and no longer had any prejudice against the villagers.

But what the villagers didn’t know was that even if she didn’t send food home, she would not let her parents and younger brother go hungry.

Not to mention that there is so much money in the space, there are also a lot of prey hunted in the mountains.

The reason why I didn't eat it was, firstly, to store food for emergency use, and secondly, I wanted to experience the fun of hunting.

Whenever she cooked delicious food with the prey she hunted herself, she felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart, which could not be bought by any amount of gold or silver.

Seeing that everyone was busy helping to repair their houses and weed, she didn't want to let everyone finish the work and go home hungry.

She asked her mother to help her pick out some vegetables from the villagers. She went to the mountain again, but time was tight and there was no time to hunt. She planned to take a pheasant out of the space and make a simple pheasant stew.

Then they made some cakes with miscellaneous grains and stuck them on the edge of the pot. This way, when the dishes were put into the pot and boiled, they could stick the cakes on. There was Aunt Wang, six men, and my uncle's family.

Mrs. Li couldn't stop her daughter from going up the mountain, so she could only give her more instructions and pray in her heart that her daughter would be safe.

Originally, the place where they lived was at the foot of the mountain. After walking for a while, they reached the outskirts of the mountain.

Li Mengyue did not go in. She used her mind to take out a pheasant from the space and prepared to go back.

But before I had taken a few steps, the little foodie system came out again.

[Host, I feel that one pheasant is not enough. We need at least two, no, three, and a rabbit.]

[Not enough to eat. I guess it’s not enough for you! ]

Li Mengyue asked jokingly while listening to the system's random instructions.

[Host, you... why do you always speak the truth? But to be honest, I haven't had a full meal in a long time. ]

Seeing Tuanzi's pitiful appearance, she thought that she had been very busy these days due to Mr. Huang's affairs and had not eaten well. She should cook more delicious food to reward herself and her family.

In this way, there will be no shortage of food to cook.

Then he took out a chicken and a hare from the space.

When she returned, Li Mengyue had two chickens and a hare in her hands.

When they got home, not only Li and the twins were surprised, but even the other people who helped with the work were all mouths wide open.

"Girl Yue, we've been on the mountain for less than a quarter of an hour and you've already hunted pheasants and rabbits." Aunt Wang said with emotion.

"Yes, mother, that's amazing. Uncle Li An's family will never lack meat to eat again." Wang Daniu echoed.

The other people who were working were also talking about the chickens and rabbits that Li Mengyue brought back while they were working.

However, they never thought that Li Mengyue would cook chickens and rabbits into food and give them to them.

After all, they had just separated and needed money for many things, so they would definitely send the prey to the town to sell for money to supplement the family income.

Li Mengyue ignored what these people were thinking. Instead, she put her things down, rolled up her sleeves and started preparing.

"Sister, let me help light the fire!"

Li Minghao was cleaning the house when he noticed his sister was about to cook. He put down what he was doing, ran to his sister and said he wanted to light a fire.

"Okay! There's not enough firewood. Minghao, go to the nearby woods and pick up some firewood. The stove in the kitchen has just been built and it will take a few days before it can be used. Sister will build a temporary stove with stones first."

"Okay, sister."

When Li Minghao heard what his sister said, he ran away, trying to collect more firewood.

Li Mengyue was building a stove with stones when she suddenly felt a gaze behind her, looking at her from time to time.

She turned around and saw Mingyu, staring at her eagerly.

Li Mengyue thought about it and asked tentatively, "Mingyu, do you also want to help your sister?"

Sure enough, Mingyu nodded vigorously.

"Then Mingyu can also help collect firewood."

Li Mengyue heard Mingyu whisper, "Okay, sister."

Then he ran away, and the direction he was heading was the grove where Minghao went to collect firewood.

"Mingyu and Minghao are twins, and their personalities are so different."

Li heard her daughter's mumbling and said with red eyes: "Mingyu used to be very lively, but..."

Li Mengyue saw her mother hesitated to speak, and knew that there might be something wrong, so she asked softly, "Just what happened?"
