The news of Mr. Shen's injury spread quickly to the old house like a gust of wind.

Look, early the next morning, when it was still dark, Shen Li's grandmother Liu hurried over carrying a small cloth bag.

Shen Li looked up at the little old lady in front of him, thinking secretly in his heart.

In ancient times, people in their forties looked like people in their fifties today, and the traces of time were so obvious on their faces.

Look at the little old lady Liu, she is wearing a coarse linen dress with two or three patches on it.

However, the clothes were washed very clean, without a trace of dirt.

Her hair was neatly tied into a bun, looking very neat.

She walked up to Zhang and handed the cloth bag to her expressionlessly, saying, "This fine grain was originally saved for when Sanlang comes back from his vacation."

"Now that Dalang is injured, let's give it to him to heal his body first."

After saying this, she paused for a moment, as if she was thinking about something, and then continued, "I heard that the noble man gave me some compensation, but you must not spend it carelessly. You have to save it for Xuan'er's tuition for school."

Zhang took the cloth bag, opened it and was immediately shocked: "Mom! It's rice, this..." Her voice was full of surprise.

Liu quickly scolded softly, "Don't make a fuss here, and quickly free up the bag."

Zhang responded and slowly poured the rice into a jar, saying, "Mom, please come and eat something here. We cooked some mixed grain and wild vegetable porridge this morning."

Liu's eyes fell on Shen Li. She looked at Shen Li and said, "I won't eat anymore. Let Daya eat more. Look at this child, he's already eight years old, dark, thin and short."

After hearing this, Shen Li was speechless: ...You two can just chat, why are you attacking me personally?

Speaking of which, this family was extremely poor and didn't even have things like mirrors.

As for Shen Li, no one knows what Shen Daya looks like.

Sometimes when she washed her face, looking at the blurry reflection in the water, she could only see the appearance of an ugly, dark, thin girl, and she couldn't help but feel disgusted.

After Zhang put the rice away, she handed the cloth bag to Liu, who stood up and was about to leave.

Zhang suddenly slapped her thigh, which startled Liu. "Mother Daya, what are you doing?!"

Zhang hurried towards the backyard, saying as she walked, "Mom, please wait a moment, don't leave yet!"

Liu was a little suspicious: What is this going to do?

Shen Li thought: Can I still eat this rabbit? They are almost all gone, right?

When Liu saw her eldest daughter-in-law coming out with a rabbit that was kicking its legs and shaking its head, the same expression that Zhang had had yesterday instantly appeared on her face. She glared and asked, "Where did you get this rabbit?"

Zhang said with a smile on her face, "Mother, Daya caught this yesterday when she went up the mountain to collect grass for pigs."

"There's also a pregnant rabbit and two smaller rabbits."

"I originally wanted to raise them and then sell them, but Daya's father got injured again, so I decided to kill one to give her father some healing."

As she spoke, Zhang quietly raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, her movements being very inconspicuous.

"We don't have anything good at home, Mom. You can take this back and make it. It will also satisfy everyone's cravings."

Zhang continued.

Liu quickly waved her hand and declined: "I can't accept it."

"Daya was just lucky to catch these rabbits. I heard you gave one to that kid Chunsheng yesterday."

"You can cook the remaining ones for Dalang and Daya!"

Besides, the academy will be closed for the holidays in a few days, and Xuan'er will have to come back then."

"Studying is a very tiring thing, and he needs to nourish his body more!"

Shen Li watched from the side, speechless. She watched her cheap grandmother and cheap mother push each other for a long time, and in the end, the young cheap mother got the upper hand.

Why? Because the cheap grandmother was thinking that not only her eldest grandson had to come back, but her third son also had to come back.

Come to think of it, it has been more than ten days since I traveled here, and I have never seen her cheap twin brother once.

While Liu and Zhang were pushing each other, Shen Li had already run to the kitchen to drink a bowl of vegetable porridge, picked up two multi-grain steamed buns, and then carried a bamboo basket to go out to the mountain.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered that her bamboo tube filled with water had fallen into the cave where the young man was staying yesterday.

There was still no expression on her face. She turned and walked towards the kitchen cabinet, took Shen Xuan's bamboo tube, and filled it with hot water at the stove.

When she passed by Zhang, she hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mom, let's kill a rabbit today. I'll go up the mountain and take a look. Maybe I can come across another rabbit nest."

Zhang looked at her daughter in surprise and nodded in response, "Okay, you have to come back early today. Don't wait until dark again!"

Shen Li walked outside and responded, "Yeah."
