My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

“I’ve told you before, it’s already hard enough for women, so naturally you should do whatever you want. I don’t necessarily want you to stay in our family, but I’m just thinking about your reputation. These are extraordinary times, so I’ll have to make do with you for a while.”

Yang Fenglan repeated what she had said yesterday in a roundabout way.

Finally, I'd like to add: "Jingyi is a good kid, and he's very devoted to you. You could try to get to know him better."

Shen Yu completely ignored her grand principles and asked again, "Are you really willing to let me go?"

“If you don’t believe me, we can make an agreement,” Yang Fenglan said. “Take good care of Jingyi first, and don’t talk to him about divorce for now. If he’s in a better mood, his injuries will heal faster.”

"Once his leg heals, if you think he's a good person and want to continue living a good life with him, then stay. I will still treat you well."

"If you still want a divorce, that's more than enough. No one can find fault with you anymore. I will let Jingyi give you your freedom."

Yang Fenglan made it clear first to reassure Shen Yu that Zhou Jingyi would need at least three months to recover.

In these three months, Shen Yu will definitely be able to find the treasure-hunting system in the book. If he doesn't, he'll find another excuse to fool her.

In short, to safely get through a famine, you need either a lucky heroine or a treasure-hunting system.

Shen Yu lowered his head and said nothing more.

Yang Fenglan knew that she had taken it to heart.

After finishing her meal, Shen Yu soaked a bowl of rice in the fish soup, then picked out the remaining fish meat and went to feed Zhou Jingyi.

Yang Fenglan waved her hand with an air of righteous indignation, "You go ahead, I'll clean up the kitchen."

"You must remember what you said."

"Naturally remember."

As Shen Yu left, Yang Fenglan's smile deepened: "As long as you stay here with peace of mind, I will find a way to bring you two together."

If we really can't match them up, it's okay. I have a young and beautiful best friend who can help bring the male lead together.

If my best friend isn't a good match, there are other girls.

Anyway, as long as she gets the male lead married before the divorce, she'll consider the breakup a success and everything will be fine.

……

I'm so tired from working during the day that I just collapse into bed and sleep as soon as it gets dark.

I go to bed early and wake up early too.

Yang Fenglan prepared the fish that hadn't been cooked yesterday, reheated the leftover rice, and went to call Shen Yu for dinner.

The people of Qingshui Village eat only two meals a day.

Most people get up and go to work in the fields. They work until it gets hot, then come back for breakfast, rest for a while, and go out again to continue working until dinner time before going home.

Yang Fenglan wasn't used to eating too early, but she had to fill her stomach first since she planned to go into the mountains today.

"Why are you eating so early today?" Shen Yu asked as soon as she got up.

“I plan to go into the mountains,” Yang Fenglan said while serving rice. “It hasn’t rained for months, and all the wild vegetables around the village have been dug up. We’re almost out of food at home, and we’ll need to buy medicine for Jingyi later. I don’t know how much it will cost.”

"Let's go into the mountains and see if we can find something to eat. If we're lucky enough to find something valuable, we can sell it and have enough to eat and drink for the rest of the year."

"Go if you want."

Shen Yu pretended not to understand, so Yang Fenglan bluntly said, "Anyway, you're free, so come with me."

"No, I need to take care of the patient," Shen Yu refused.

Yang Fenglan: "??"

She had it all planned out. For the next few days, she would follow the lucky heroine around, picking up wild chickens, rabbits, lingzhi mushrooms, and ginseng. She even planned how to spend the money from selling a century-old ginseng.

Now, they're telling her she's not going?
