I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

The children were just greedy and no one took it seriously. However, Song Zeyuan and Song Anyue did not think so. They could eat things that other children could not eat. How happy they were.

All the fatigue in my body was swept away. From now on, whatever my sister says is what I will do! I’m not tired! Not tired at all!

During this break, more than a dozen women came over to chat with Wang Ying'er. At noon, Song An Ning taught them how to find young bamboo shoots. When they tried it in the afternoon, they actually dug up quite a few.

The last bit of prejudice in my heart towards Song Anning disappeared, and my heart was filled with only gratitude.

The way back was even more difficult. The men who had returned to the village earlier had not returned yet, and most of the remaining people were the elderly, children, women and children. They were carrying so many bamboo shoots, so they could only walk for a while and rest for a while.

On the mountain path, a team of hundreds of people was moving slowly in a line like ants moving.

The red sun sets in the west, and the orange-yellow sunlight hits everyone's faces, giving the sweat beads on their foreheads a layer of golden light.

The bamboo shoots in the backpack weigh at least 40 kilograms. This weight is a test for a woman who does farm work all year round. The two shoulder straps make her shoulders hurt.

Song An Ning was still a bit fat, but now she was as tired as a silly dog that had just run madly. She held a mountaineering stick in one hand and held Song Anyue in the other.

"I really want to put all the bamboo shoots in my backpack..."

He wailed at the system, knowing in his heart that this was impossible. With so many people watching, anyone would notice if a single bamboo shoot was missing.

Her deception did have some effect. Although the two little ones were wrinkled with exhaustion, they didn't cry or make a fuss, but followed with big strides.

Other children were not so obedient. Some shouted and yelled for a rest, while others did not dare to speak and just wiped their tears silently.

"Cry, cry, cry, just cry, waiting to go home..."

"You were not allowed to come but insisted on coming. You are so ignorant and you still have the nerve to cry."

"If you keep crying, I'll let Song An Ning come and take you away..."

"..."

When they heard that they were going to be captured by Song An Ning, the children tried hard to hold back their tears, and each of them felt even more aggrieved.

You can't cry. They all saw it this afternoon. That damn old woman Wen was defeated by her.

It’s so scary. I can’t cry. I can’t be caught. Woohoo…

Finally, after crossing a small hill, Song Erhe found a relatively flat place for everyone to rest.

I went to see Zhang and Song Dashan. They were old after all, and they looked a little unhappy after the day.

Song Anning quickly opened the mall and bought a large bag of milk candy from the snack bar. They needed to replenish sugar quickly and restore their strength.

"Master, Xiangxiang can help you remove the original packaging and wrap it with oil paper. Xiangxiang is such a thoughtful baby, hehe."

"Thank you, Xiangxiang baby, Muma."

She took out a White Rabbit milk candy from her bosom and fed it to her grandparents calmly. Zhang thought it was a corn cake, but after chewing it twice, she realized it was sweet.

"Grandma, come and eat it. I bought it from town two days ago. It tastes great."

This was a taste Zhang had never tasted before. She had bought candies in the town, but this was the first time she had encountered one so delicious.

He whispered, "This candy can't be made by a small vendor. It shouldn't be cheap, right?"

The system was sold at twenty copper coins per pound, and this large package contained about fifty or sixty pieces, so Song An Ning told the truth.

"I didn't have much silver, but I bought a whole bunch for five copper coins."

Hearing this, Zhang's heart ached. Five copper coins were enough to buy a pound of rice.

On second thought, this money was earned by Aning from hiking. He is just a kid, so what's wrong with buying some candy?

Moreover, when he had good things, he knew to respect his elders. He didn't eat much himself, which made me feel bad.

"It's not easy for you to earn money, so keep it for yourself. Grandma and Grandpa have tasted it and it's very sweet."

How could that be possible? She bought such a big bag just to let everyone in the family try it.

"Grandma, don't worry about eating, there's still plenty."

As he spoke, he took out a few more from his bosom and placed them in Zhang's hand, then to A Niang, Second Aunt, the two children from Second Uncle's family, and his own two little ones.

Everyone had a piece of candy in their mouth and another in their hand, except Liu, who had a handful in her hand.

When distributing the candy, Song An Ning handed over his second uncle and those who were not at home to Liu.

Everyone ate the candies, feeling the sweetness spread from their mouths to their hearts. Liu was flattered. Oh my god, Aning gave her so many candies. She was in a dilemma whether to take them or not.

It was Wang Ying'er who patted her hands and said with a smile: "It's something for children to eat, so let's just be sweet and accept it if it's given to you."

Her face was full of pride. When she was digging bamboo shoots in the morning, she heard the two little ones say that their elder sister had been in the mountains for the past two days and had earned a lot of money. She didn't believe it at first, but now she no longer had any doubts in her heart.

The child has grown up and knows how to earn money to support the family. She is even good at digging bamboo shoots. What else is there for her to be dissatisfied with?

At this time, not far from them, there were sounds of quarreling and crying.

No matter how tired they were, they couldn't stop gossiping, so many people didn't even rest and jogged towards the direction where the sound came from.

Song An Ning stood at the back of the crowd and could only vaguely see through the gap a young girl kneeling on the ground with a child in her arms.

A woman next to him was shouting and cursing loudly.

"You little whore, I paid for everything you two eat and use. What's wrong with doing some housework? Even if he dies today, it's his premature death. Don't even think about getting a single penny from me..."

In the original owner's memory, the girl was called Wang Qiuyue, two years older than Song Anning. The younger one in her arms was Qiuyue's younger brother Wang Sheng, who was about eight or nine years old.

Her mother suffered heavy bleeding during labor and died, leaving only this little one. Her scumbag father named the little one Wang Sheng.

Less than three months after his death, he married He Guangzong's aunt He Fangfang. He Fangfang was also very fertile and gave birth to two sons and a daughter in one go.

None of the He family members are good people, and He Fangfang is even more vicious. She either beats or scolds the siblings. Wang Qiuyue has endless work to do all day long, and she also has to take care of her younger siblings at home. The fifteen-year-old girl has been tortured like a shrew.

"If there's a stepmother, there's a stepfather. This vicious woman, He..."

Zhang said this with gritted teeth, completely forgetting that she was also the stepmother of Song Feng and Song Nian.

Song Dashan muttered awkwardly, "Old woman, you are also a stepmother..."

"..."

"Stop talking nonsense and don't compare me to that kind of bastard!"

Song Dashan smiled awkwardly and lowered his head. Wang Ying'er and Liu both pursed their lips, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

Their mother-in-law is really amazing, she is better than other people's own mothers.

"A Sheng has been delirious due to the fever. Mother, please have mercy on us. You said you want to get married, and I agreed. Isn't that enough?"

"Don't call me mother, the one buried in the ground is your mother!"

"..."

From the conversation between He Fangfang and Wang Qiuyue, everyone understood what was going on.
