Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

The next morning, Yang Xiuying did not let her daughters drink wild vegetable porridge as she did in the past. In fact, since the day she arrived, her daughters had no wild vegetable porridge to eat.

I made white flour steamed buns and egg pancakes early in the morning. There are not many eggs at home now. I can't explain why I took out too many eggs blindly. But if I beat the eggs and mix them with flour, I can't tell how many are left.

The family had their fill, the sky was starting to brighten, and the seven daughters started to get busy.

The eldest and the second oldest prepared to make a door for the cave with thatch. This would not only protect them from wind and rain, but would also provide more privacy for the sisters. Otherwise, if someone came, they would be able to see everything in the cave.

The second brother was very strong and chopped branches as big as his arms, then cut them into rows of wooden strips of equal length. He used them to fix the straw trimmed by the eldest brother, and then reinforced it with hemp rope and tied it tightly.

Yang Xiuying looked at the eldest and second oldest with satisfaction. The eldest was twelve years old and the second oldest was only eleven. These half-grown children seemed very experienced in doing things here.

After breakfast, my daughters went about their business without me having to tell them.

The fourth brother came over carrying a bamboo basket

"Mother, I'm going to dig up some cow dung from the mountain to feed the chickens. I'm sure they'll be fat."

Yang Xiuying was puzzled. Didn't Tian Guilan say yesterday that there wasn't even a single cow in Futian Village? Where did this cow dung come from?

Could it be that the fourth girl was talking about black truffles?

"Is there a lot of that 'bull shit' you're talking about?"

"There are plenty of them under the eucalyptus trees on the mountain, and the birds in the forest love to eat them too."

Yang Xiuying then called the fifth, sixth, and seventh daughters and asked them to go to the mountain to dig what they called "cow dung".

He looked at his eldest daughter who was tying straw in front of the cave. She was a little slower than the second daughter, but she was very meticulous. It was she who came up with the idea of using straw to make a door. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for women to take a bath without any shelter in the cave.

It was the eldest brother who picked up the eggs in the chicken coop this morning. Xiuying put seven eggs in before dawn. Together with the original four hens, there were a total of 11 eggs. The eldest brother just picked out the eggs and put them in the cooking area. He then killed some wild grass to feed the chickens and didn't ask any questions about the eggs.

Knowing that the second son had been strong all his life, he helped him hide it at home and only told himself the truth after the family split up. It can be seen that the eldest son is good at keeping secrets.

When she learned that she was going to marry an old bachelor, she did not abandon her sister and run away alone, which shows that she is a man of loyalty and friendship.

If you want to find someone to cover up for you, the best candidate is the boss who is loyal and righteous and can hide things.

Xiuying asked the second brother to collect some firewood. After sending the second brother away, only the eldest brother was left.

The eldest brother saw Yang Xiuying staring at him, put down the untied straw in his hand, walked over, and asked respectfully: "Mother, do you have something to tell me?"

Since she came back from collecting firewood yesterday, she found that her mother was different.

Not only would he protect them, he would also take them out of the house. Even the chickens at home were different. Four chickens laid eleven eggs this morning.

And the vegetable soup we had last night had different oil droplets on it, but I couldn't tell what was different. Even the food at home didn't seem to be less with this way of eating. The wheat bran was still there, and even the rice I ate at every meal had increased.

Mother also said that she would feed them pork, mutton, chicken and white rice every day in the future, but they only had ten taels of silver left when they separated from the family!

She followed Yang Xiuying obediently and walked into the place where food was stored in the cave. Yang Xiuying saw the confusion in the boss's heart, but she did not ask herself, but remained quiet. It can be seen that the boss is a thoughtful person.

She gently placed her hand on the eldest sister's shoulder and asked, "Taohua, do you want to have white rice and meat every meal, and for your sisters to live a good life?"

The eldest daughter was delighted when she heard Xiuying calling her name. She liked this new name very much, which was the name given to them by her mother.

She also thought about the conflict between her mother and grandmother, which was because she did not get the two taels of silver from selling herself. Her mother did not let her be sold to the old bachelor, so she should do more to repay her mother.

After thinking for a moment, she replied, "Mother, I plan to chop some firewood and sell it in the city. The entrance fee is one penny, so I will chop more. During the busy farming season, I will help the villagers with some chores. Although I won't make much money, I can at least exchange it for some wheat bran. In my free time, I can also go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables.

Don't worry, mother. I know a lot. I can sew, cook, sow seeds, and transplant rice. I can do a lot of work. I will definitely do more work to repay you."

Yang Xiuying was a little confused. Did she do something to cause the boss to misunderstand her?

I didn't expect that this half-grown girl had so many thoughts in her mind. She just wanted Taohua to cover for her so that the things in the system could be taken out.

This girl's words just now were obviously out of place.

She asked, "You mean, as long as I don't sell you to an old bachelor, it's okay?"

The eldest brother lowered his head and nodded twice, "Well, as long as mother doesn't sell me out and lets me be with my sisters, that's all that's fine."

The eldest son then became worried again, thinking that his mother would not sell the second son.

But if my mother wanted to sell these girls, why should she let everyone eat so well and only have wild vegetable porridge for every meal?

The boss's originally clear eyes gradually became blurry.

Yang Xiuying held her forehead,

This girl has too many things on her mind! I can't let her guess any further.

She interrupted the somewhat disconnected Lao Er: "Taohua, things are not what you think.

After being knocked unconscious by your aunt that day, I met your dead father. He was worried about us mother and daughter, and he also knew that your grandma wanted to sell us mother and daughter, so he asked the gods for something.

We can exchange it for food. The eggs and rice we eat are all obtained by exchanging that treasure."

When Taohua mentioned her deceased father, her eyes reddened. "Daddy, is he doing well? How did he get such a powerful treasure? Mother, I want to see Daddy too."

Yang Xiuying reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of Taohua's eyes, and comforted her: "Your father was originally a god in heaven. He came down to overcome the calamity. When his merits were complete, he returned to heaven. If he saw you, he would have violated the heavenly rules."

"Then I won't see Daddy anymore. As long as Daddy is doing well, the fortune teller said Daddy was destined to be rich and powerful, but I never thought he would actually be a god in heaven."

Taohua became full of energy and said to Yang Xiuying, "Mom, you can't let others know about the treasure Daddy gave you, otherwise it might harm Daddy."

Yang Xiuying smiled and patted Taohua on the shoulder: "Taohua is really thoughtful. We must not let anyone else know about this, including our sisters. We can't hurt them."

"Well, God knows, the earth knows, you know, and I know."

Taohua nodded heavily.
