Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Knowing that the child was fine, everyone felt relieved.

Old Lady Chen and a few others opened the curtain and entered the east room. The room was dim, so Mrs. Tan quickly lit an oil lamp to illuminate it.

Seeing the person on the bed becoming increasingly thin and pale, the old lady and Mrs. Li burst into tears with heartache: "My poor girl, she has suffered so much."

Turning to Tan, he said, "Your sister-in-law just brought some eggs. You can steam some egg custard for the child later."

These days, every family has a hard time. Not to mention seeing a doctor and taking medicine, they can only eat half full, so the child looks even thinner due to his illness.

"Mom, eggs are precious, so keep them and exchange them for money. We still have a few eggs at home, which is enough." said Tan.

When Mrs. Li heard this, she said displeasedly, "How can someone be so precious? It's not like the chickens at home don't lay eggs."

"Your sister-in-law is right. The child is the most important thing now. If you don't nourish the child, what will happen to him?" After saying this, she wiped her tears again.

Seeing this, Tan no longer refused: "Okay, I'll listen to you, mother."

The person on the bed opened her eyes and looked at everything in front of her. The old lady felt sad again when she saw her granddaughter's dazed look.

Mrs. Li was upset, but she was afraid of upsetting Mrs. Tan, so she said to Mrs. Chen, "Mother, please stop crying! The child is finally well. Why are you crying all the time when you're not happy? If the child sees you, he'll think something's wrong with you."

Old Mrs. Chen quickly agreed, saying it shouldn't be like that. The two stayed for a while longer, but seeing that Qing Ning was not in good spirits, they left without staying any longer.

"Yueli, call us immediately if anything happens." Old Mrs. Chen reminded her worriedly, and Mrs. Tan agreed to all her requests.

When the sky turned blue, the family members came back one after another, and the yard gradually became lively.

"Sister, are you awake?" Qingzhu came in and asked, holding a bowl of egg custard in her hand.

"I'm awake, second sister." Bai Meng replied. It was much easier to call her second sister now, and she should be able to adapt to this new identity after some time.

"When you wake up, eat this bowl of egg custard. You will get better quickly." Qingzhu put the bowl on the table, held her up, sat up, and fed her mouthful by mouthful.

[It smells so good!] Qingzhu swallowed silently, but she knew that this was to nourish her sister.

Bai Meng saw this and felt a little distressed: "Sister, you eat too."

"I don't want to eat, you eat it." Qingzhu refused, but continued to feed him.

Children from poor families grow up early, but this is really unpleasant for Bai Meng. Although she grew up in the countryside and her family was not very wealthy, she never worried about food.

When there was still a lot of food left in the bowl, she said she didn't want to eat anything else. Qingzhu tried to persuade her to eat more, but she just said her stomach was full.

Qingzhu had no choice but to give up and put her down to bed: "Go to sleep first. There's some porridge simmering on the stove. Tell me when you're hungry."

Bai Meng said softly: "I understand, thank you, second sister."

"Silly girl, why are you thanking me? I am your sister and it is my duty to take care of you." Qingzhu rolled her eyes, full of anger.

Bai Meng didn't want to sleep at this time, so he thought about asking about the current situation.

"Second sister, I have basically forgotten a lot of things. Can you tell me about the situation at home?" Bai Meng asked softly.

Qingzhu smiled when she heard it and said, "Oh, it's okay. It's the same if I forget to tell you."

From Qingzhu's introduction, Bai Meng learned that this was Chenzhuang Village, with about fifty households, making it a large village. The villagers were mostly members of the Chen clan, but there were also quite a few from outside the village.

Their grandfather had passed away, and before he died, he had divided his two sons' homes. The old lady was still alive and lived with the old man. The two brothers lived in the houses on the left and right, very close to each other.

The old lady is also from this village, her surname is Chen and her name is Guihua. Her eldest son, Chen Changhe, married Li Muxiang and they have two sons and one daughter. The eldest daughter is Chen Qingke, who is thirteen years old this year, the eldest son is Chen Qingsong, who is twelve years old this year, and the youngest is Chen Qingbai, who is nine years old this year.

The youngest son, Chen Changjiang, married Tan Yueli and had four children. The eldest son, Chen Qingwu, was ten years old. The second son and the eldest daughter were twins, a boy and a girl. The son was named Chen Qingyu and the daughter was named Chen Qingzhu, who is eight years old this year. The youngest daughter, Chen Qingning, was the original owner at the age of five.

It is now the fifth year of Ruijing in the Great Xia Dynasty. Because the current emperor had just ascended the throne when he encountered an invasion by foreign enemies, the war lasted for three years. Later, the war was settled when the foreign enemies were defeated and surrendered three cities as a condition for their surrender.

Furthermore, because the late emperor devoted his later years to pleasure rather than government, he imposed ever more taxes, causing great hardship to the common people. Since the current emperor ascended the throne, he has abolished many old systems and implemented a series of policies to benefit the people, leaving nothing to be desired.

Through Chen Qingzhu's narration, Bai Meng also knew the general idea and made up his mind. He decided to just stay quietly for now, which was also a way of living.
