In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

Jiang Ranran was already sore all over from the beating and had no strength left.

The slap knocked her to the ground, and it took her a long time to manage to lift her head.

She had felt a little guilty, but that guilt vanished instantly after that slap.

If it weren't for her, would the Jiang family have been able to move into the Ye family's house? They might have starved to death long ago!

Her eyes flashed with coldness; she was no longer bothered to pretend with them. "I acted on my own initiative? You dare say you didn't know what I was going to do?"

"They're just blaming me for everything now that I've been discovered and kicked out!"

Normally, she speaks softly to the Jiang family.

Now, however, his eyes were filled with obvious hatred, and his voice was shrill.

The Jiang family members were all stunned.

Madam Li frowned. "Ranran, how could you say that? How would we know what you're going to do? Besides, didn't you initially favor Young Master Ye?"

"Alright, what's the point of saying all this? We should be thinking about what to do next."

Jiang Chuan glanced at her sideways. Given the current situation, he couldn't afford to upset Ranran any further.

She's a beautiful young girl, who might be of great use in the future!

Jiang Jiman was furious and angry at being kicked out like that. He had finally managed to get in touch with the Third Young Master, and this idiot went and seduced the Second Young Master!

The second young master is the legitimate son, so Madam Ye will definitely not turn a blind eye to his behavior again!

But Dad is right. We've already been kicked out, and there's no way we can go back now.

They can no longer enter the Ye family's residence!

"puff!"

In his panic, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Son!"

"The third one!"

Before losing consciousness, he only managed to utter two words: "cave".

Jiang Ranran's eyes lit up. The retreating team definitely couldn't go back. Tupo Village didn't want them anyway, and Wu Yong was in Ruyi Tower's team, eyeing her covetously.

When she was at the Ye family's house, she had heard that Jiang Mianmian lived in a cave with those vile women from Ruyi Tower.

The mountains here are rolling hills and there is no danger of mudslides, so why doesn't she just find a cave to take shelter in?

There's no reason why that bitch could find it but I couldn't!

However, she really can't do it alone; she has to bring these idiots along. Otherwise, if they encounter danger, who will step forward to protect her?

The Jiang family members understood, "Then let's go find the cave!"

With the same goal in mind, the group began to traverse mountains and valleys along the path in search of a cave.

Jiang Mianmian first sensed that the tracking Gu were getting further and further away from the Ye family, and only then did she hear from Ye Hansheng that the Jiang family members had been driven out.

However, the reason given by Madam Ye was too far-fetched. She guessed that Jiang Ranran must have done something that crossed Madam Ye's bottom line.

It doesn't matter, no matter where those people go, they can't threaten her.

Two days later, Ye Xiujue's pathological test results finally came out.

benign.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Ye Xiujue's complexion improved considerably.

He touched his flat stomach, a little nervously asking, "Will it grow back?"

"It's really hard to say, so you must have your check-ups done on time."

Despite failing the preliminary examination for the imperial examination, Ye Hansheng actually possesses exceptional learning abilities.

He quickly learned how to use the camera, and Jiang Mianmian then taught him how to install the medical equipment as well.

As for how to use it specifically, Cheng Nian knows very well.

After settling everything in, Jiang Mianmian took her leave, which delayed her for several more days.

She missed Jiu Niang and the others, and she also needed to go see the little beggars and go down the mountain to check on the retreating troops.

The old lady took her hand and handed her a land deed. "Mianmian, I originally wanted to give you silver notes, but you said that there will be natural disasters in the future, and those things may not be as useful as this land deed."

"This is?"

Jiang Mianmian unfolded it and saw that it was the land deed for this manor. She immediately wanted to put it back.

She brought out quite a few things, but this thank-you gift was far too expensive.

Madam Ye was prepared; she grabbed her wrist and forcefully shoved the land deed into her hand.

"Please don't refuse. What you're giving me isn't just these things, but my grandson's life! Moreover, these things can benefit many people in the future. Mianmian, with such great merit, I would rather have just one village than give you this much. Once I'm settled, I'll send more people over."

"It's really not that bad. The reason I'm willing to give these to the Ye family is because someone can learn them and actually make good use of them."

With that said, Jiang Mianmian finally stopped refusing.

It is said that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Although her cave is very good, one more estate is never too much!

After the rain stopped, the sweltering summer arrived, with temperatures far exceeding those of usual. Many plants withered and the rivers slowly dried up. Her cave complex was habitable, but the central cave's half-open roof needed to be covered to prevent the heat from entering.

There is a way, and we have the materials, but it will be very troublesome.

It would be better to move them all to this village. Even if we can't install air conditioning on them all, filling the village with ice will help us get through the drought!

Having arranged a follow-up appointment with Madam Ye for Ye Xiujue, Jiang Mianmian quickly returned to the cave.

After staying overnight, I visited the little beggar and his friends at the first cave the next day.

The things they collected, both in quality and quantity, far exceeded her expectations, filling two caves completely.

“Sister Mianmian, some of them grow in patches, so we dug up a little bit first, and we’ll dig up the rest slowly. We’ll try to find every variety as much as the fairy wants.”

"And this is a map we drew. We marked all the valuable plants we found on it."

The children all gathered around, chattering excitedly.

Jiang Mianmian sincerely praised, "You guys are amazing! Not only did you dig carefully, but you also remembered everything very well. The fairy will definitely love it."

After clearing out the points for them, she replenished Lin Xianghe's inventory.

Rice, flour, cooking oil, meat, eggs, vegetables, milk, clothes, shoes, socks, and snacks that the children love to eat—bring them all.

Jiang Zhongtian, having eaten something, huddled at the entrance of the cave, barely alive. "Mianmian, please, take me away."

"Where are you going? To the Ye family?" Jiang Mianmian kindly told him, "Your parents, your three older brothers, and Jiang Ranran have all been kicked out of the Ye family. Where are you going to find them?"

Jiang Zhongtian looked on in disbelief. "Impossible! Don't try to fool me!"

They were all perfectly fine before they left!

"Why would I lie to you? I heard he was beaten up before he was kicked out. I wonder if he's still alive."

Jiang Mianmian was worried that he would miss the Jiang family so much that he couldn't sleep, so she explained in more detail, "Your eldest brother, Jiang Bocai, I don't know which idiot he listened to, went and deliberately made the eldest young master's condition worse, and almost got beaten to death by the old lady. And then guess what happened?"

"What's wrong? Well, you weren't kicked out, were you?"

Jiang Zhongtian's heart jumped.
