Hearing this, Jiang Qinyu felt relieved for the time being and shook her head, saying, "It's all thanks to everyone's efforts. I didn't help much."

"Awesome?" Chen was puzzled for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "You mean they all worked very hard, right? Well, this is what they should do. If they didn't fight hard, how could they have rescued the food and provided some money for their families?"

"That's right, Lu Yanzheng's wife, don't be so modest. We are all indebted to you this time. If you have anything to ask in the future, come to Aunt Zhang. I, an old woman, will never say a word!"

"Count me in. If my old man knew that we didn't have to worry about fleeing famine anymore, he would be so happy, right, Yu girl? If you have any difficulties, your Aunt Wu is happy to help you..."

The women expressed their gratitude to Jiang Qinyu one after another, and Chen straightened her back unconsciously.

She knew that the wife she was marrying for her eldest son was a good one, and didn't this come true?

Jiang Qinyu smiled, said nothing more, and joined them in looting supplies.

Qinggang Mountain has been causing trouble for the people in the surrounding area for so many years. If they just robbed the food and left, wouldn’t that be a big loss?

Especially with the arrival of the old women like Chen, it would be impossible for anything useful to remain in the village; they would have to be taken away completely.

Next, Jiang Qinyu witnessed the strength of the old ladies and women of this era. They were really unable to move anything except a few walls, and they wanted to move everything else.

"This table is great. I'll have my family take it away later."

"Oh, this straw hat and mat are better than the ones I have at home. Take them away, I must take them away!"

"Don't fight with me, everything in this room belongs to me!"

"Mrs. Jiang, please stop being so overbearing. My house is still short of a big broom. You have to give it to me..."

If it weren't for the village head's wife, Meng, who was busy taking charge of the situation, these people would probably have fought over a pair of straw sandals.

Jiang Qinyu looked up at the sky in silence. It seemed that the men in this village needed training, and the women couldn't sit idle either!

It was not until dawn that the people of Dingshui Village came down the mountain with their belongings.

Because there are many carts and wheelbarrows in the village, and there are also several horses, cows and mules kept in the stables. Of course, these cannot be wasted and are all used to transport things.

The women packed up all the useful things they found with torn sheets. Some asked their men to carry them, while others carried them on their shoulders or in their hands. They ran down the mountain at a brisk pace, as if they didn't feel tired at all.

"If it weren't for the trouble, I would definitely come and get those two millstones back."

"Don't mention it! If I could get rid of it, I would have dug their well back! I see there's a lot more water in their well than in our village!"

"You guys should be content, right? You can't shut up with all these things? Women are such a hassle..."

"Li Tiezhu, who are you calling trouble? Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get back!"

"No, I didn't. Don't be angry, mother..."

A group of people came down the mountain in a lively manner and hurried to the village at a fast pace. Halfway there, they saw the people who stayed behind last night coming to pick them up with a group of children.

"Dad, Mom, are you okay? That's great! You're finally back!"

When the children saw their parents return safely, many of them burst into tears and ran towards them.

"Hey, don't touch me! The thing on my shoulder is going to fall off!"

"You little brat, why are you crying? I'm fine. Hurry up and help your mother get her things..."

When the children saw that they had brought back so much food, they came forward to help, crying and laughing, and the group returned to the village briskly.

After returning to the village, Village Chief Li asked everyone to put all their belongings in the village ancestral hall.

"This is all earned with the blood and sweat of everyone. No one can just take it home. After a busy night, go back and rest for half a day. Those who need to treat their wounds should treat their wounds, and those who need to eat should eat. Come back here at 3 p.m. and we will discuss how to divide these things."

Everyone had no objection to what Village Chief Li said. Although some of the food that was snatched back belonged to each family, it did not mean that the original food had to be returned.

Anyone with a little common sense could understand the logic behind this, especially those families who originally had little food. They would rather get a share of the extra food found in Qinggang Mountain.

Jiang Qinyu was not worried at the moment because she had food in her hands. She ignored the other people who were making a fuss, found Old Man Lu and Chen, greeted them, and prepared to go back.

She was always worried about leaving Shufan and Pan'er at home with Lu Yangcai and his wife.

"There's nothing to worry about here. Your father and I will go back with you." Chen said readily.

Old Man Lu twisted his arm and took a look. "It's so hot, I have to go back and treat my wound."

Hearing that he was injured, Chen nervously pulled it over to take a look, then immediately threw it away, "I'm afraid it's healed before we even got home. How dare you say you're injured?"

Old Man Lu was also a good hunter when he was young, so he was naturally agile. In addition, he always followed Village Chief Li and a young man from another village, and narrowly avoided being hurt many times.

"What do you know, old woman? This at least proves that I was fighting seriously with those bandits last night!" Old Man Lu argued for himself.

Chen curled her lips and said, "Come on, stop being so stubborn. Let's wait and see how much food our family can get this afternoon."

Now Old Man Lu was silent, because he was not sure whether his performance could get him more food.

They soon arrived home. The first thing Jiang Qinyu did when she entered the yard was to look at her house. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the lock on the door was firmly fixed.

Without her saying anything, Chen went up and opened the lock. "Old Wife, go check on them. You've been tired all night. Rest for a while. I'll get you some dry food."

Before Jiang Qinyu could reply, the door opened from the inside.

"Aunt, you are finally back!"

"Auntie, Pan'er misses you so much, are you okay?"

Seeing the worried eyes of the two children, Jiang Qinyu felt a little warm in her heart. She bent down and touched their little faces. "I'm fine. Are you okay?"

"We're fine too!" the two children said in unison, glancing towards Lu Yancai and Ma's room.

Then Jiang Qinyu and others heard the snoring sounds coming from the room over there.

Chen and Old Man Lu: "..."

Jiang Qinyu: "..."

These two people are really carefree!

But as long as they didn't cause any trouble, Jiang Qinyu didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Chen quickly brought Jiang Qinyu today's dry food.

"I told you to give you more, and there is food in the village now. I will give you two more cakes. Shufan and Paner should eat more, okay?" Chen said, touching the two children's heads.

The two children nodded obediently, took the multi-grain pancakes and began to eat them with great effort.

Jiang Qinyu looked at the dry food in her hand and her eyelids couldn't help but twitch. How can she eat this?

Fortunately, there were some expiring bread and snacks next to the system cashier counter. Jiang Qinyu didn't want to suffer, so after Chen left, she immediately went into the house, closed the door, took out a bag of bread, and took away the dry food in Shufan and Pan'er's hands.

"Let's eat this, but don't tell anyone." Jiang Qinyu winked at the two of them.

The two nodded vigorously, "We know!"

It was the first time they smelled such a sweet taste. After getting Jiang Qinyu's permission, they took a bite. Suddenly, their eyes became brighter than the stars in the sky.

too delicious!

Jiang Qinyu took out two more bottles of mineral water, and the aunt and niece had a delicious meal.

Just as they finished eating, they heard the voice of Village Chief Li coming from the yard, "Old Lu, where is your eldest daughter-in-law? I want to ask her how we should divide the grain."
