It's a pity that the items in the space can't be used by others, otherwise there's no way to explain where they came from.

Perhaps due to the cold weather, they failed to hunt any more prey all day and had to head back home.

After saying goodbye to everyone at the foot of the mountain, Su Yuanyuan carried her light bamboo basket and walked home with her father.

"You're back? Why so soon this time?"

As soon as they entered the house, they ran into her mother, who was feeding the chickens in the yard with a basin. When she saw them come in, she was curious why they had returned so early this time.

"It's getting cold, and we were worried that if we stayed any longer it would snow and make it difficult to go down the mountain, so we came back early. We'll go back in a while when we're dressed warmly."

Su Jiye put down what he was holding and answered her while fetching water.

"That's right, the weather is really changing every day. Yuanyuan, go warm up by the stove, and Mom will boil some hot water for you to wash in a bit."

As she spoke, her mother took the bamboo basket from Su Yuanyuan and pushed her into the kitchen.

Su Jiye stood by the well, holding a cup of cold water, his face filled with disbelief and his eyes full of grievance.

What? Doesn't he deserve hot water? Doesn't he deserve to warm himself by the fire?

Without glancing at him, Yue Niang carried a bucket of water straight into the kitchen.

How dare he argue with a child? He's a grown man! It'll embarrass him to death!

Seeing that his wife really didn't care about him, Su Jiye washed his hands and face perfunctorily and squatted in the corner of the yard to deal with the pheasant he had brought back.

Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes speechlessly as she watched the same scene repeat itself every few days.

"Aren't we going to do anything about him? Look at that pitiful figure, tsk tsk tsk!"

Moon Lady slapped her in an annoyed tone, then glanced at the man squatting in the corner, "Go warm yourself by the fire, let him cool off for a while before we talk."

Su Yuanyuan glanced at her father with pity. He was getting old, and her coquettishness no longer worked!

Then they changed direction, heating one side up before switching to the other and continuing to heat it.

By the time Su Yuanyuan had hot water, her mother had finally gone out to coax her. Su Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief; if her mother hadn't gone out earlier, they wouldn't have been able to eat that chicken today.

After dinner, the family sat by the stove eating oranges, which they had brought down from the mountain but forgot to bring inside. Eating one could make your teeth ache from the cold.

Su Yuanyuan ate one and then put it down. The more she ate, the colder it got, so she decided to put it down and eat it later.

“Yuanyuan, don’t go out this year. Stay home and embroider more pieces. Sell the flawed ones and keep the good ones. Save up a lot. In a couple of years, it’ll be time to find you a husband. You need to have some presentable embroidery pieces.”

Halfway through the meal, her mother suddenly pulled this trick on her, leaving Su Yuanyuan stunned for a long time before she could react.

"Mother, you're still so young, why are you arranging marriages? Besides, I don't want to get married."

Su Jiye nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, our daughter is still young, no rush."

Yue Niang glared at him fiercely, and only turned to look at Su Yuanyuan when she saw that he dared not speak.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What girl doesn't get married? She'll be old in a couple of years. Start preparing now so you won't be caught off guard and have nothing to offer later."

"Mom, I'm serious. I don't want to get married. I can earn money and take care of you in your old age. Wait until spring, and I'm sure I'll earn a lot of money, more than enough to support our family."

Su Yuanyuan was determined to go back; why should she delay others?

Besides, how good could men be in ancient times? Her father was good enough, wasn't he?

She listens to her mother in everything at home and respects her mother enough, but she still doesn't want her mother to go out and earn money. She just thinks it's not good for women to go out and show their faces in public.

She had heard that her mother was able to go out and earn money when she was young, and that she earned a considerable dowry through her own abilities.

"You're talking nonsense. If you don't get married, what will you do after your father and I are gone? You'll have no one to rely on when you're old."

Su Yuanyuan pursed her lips indifferently, "After you leave, I'll leave too," but she couldn't say that.

"Anyway, I'm not getting married. Once I've earned enough money, plenty of people will come up to take care of me."

The Moon Goddess poked her with her finger, looking at her with a disappointed expression.

“Those people are easy to deal with; they’re after your money. How much care will they put into you? You still have a few years to think it over. I won’t pressure you.”

Su Yuanyuan leaned her head on her mother's shoulder with a grin, not intending to argue with her mother. Anyway, if she didn't want to, her mother couldn't force her to get married.

"Don't rush me, I'm not in a hurry. Let me make some money first."

"Yes, yes, no rush, take your time. My daughter wants to marry the best, not just any ugly duckling."

Su Jiye quickly chimed in, agreeing with his daughter's words. It was fine if she didn't get married; as long as there was enough money, everyone would be eager to serve her.

It seems he'll have to work hard to earn money after spring arrives, so he can prepare more for his daughter and have more financial security.

Moon Lady rolled her eyes at the father and daughter, pushed Su Yuanyuan's head away, and looked disgusted.

"Go back to sleep. You two are the best. I'm the bad guy."

Su Yuanyuan hugged her mother's arm and said coquettishly, "No, my mother is the best. I know you're doing this for my own good, and that's why I don't want to leave you."

Su Jiye nodded hurriedly, "Yes, my wife is the best, I love you the most."

Yue Niang quickly patted him, her face slightly flushed as she glanced at Su Yuanyuan.

"You're not a kid anymore, why do you say everything? Don't you see the child is still here?"

Su Yuanyuan quickly covered her ears, put on her shoes, and went outside.

"I didn't hear anything. Oh dear! I'm so sleepy. I'm going to sleep now. Mom and Dad, you should go to sleep early too."

Watching her close the door and leave, Su Jiye shamelessly approached Yue Niang. "Wife, the child has left. I really cherish you."

With a flushed face, Yue Niang pushed him away, saying, "Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep."

Su Jiye looked at her with shining eyes and quickly cleared the table.

"My wife, let's go to sleep."

Su Yuanyuan lay in bed thinking. She had originally wanted to be a bit of a slacker, but it seemed that was no longer an option.

She thought about making some snacks to sell, but then she thought about having to get up before dawn every day to prepare, so she shook her head and dismissed the idea.

She's a good person, how could she let her body suffer like this? Our bodies and hair are a gift from our parents, we shouldn't do things that would worry them.

After much thought, she finally decided to sell recipes at restaurants. Although she didn't know many recipes, she had books in her spatial storage.

She'll still copy, but as for the source, she'll just say it's something she came up with randomly.

She can sell to several stores, each selling different recipes. Little by little, she will become rich in the near future.

She could also buy some gold and silver jewelry to take back with her. Oh, right! Why didn't she think of that sooner?

She was so excited that she couldn't sleep, so she went into her space to look for books. She hadn't tidied up her space in a long time, and all sorts of things were piled up in a mess.

Su Yuanyuan looked uncomfortably at the pile of things. It wasn't that she wasn't diligent; it was just that she drew lots every day, and there were just too many items.
