When it came to her granddaughter's fate, Ms. Wen reluctantly took out two eggs from home, gritted her teeth, and tucked them into her bosom.

We don't raise chickens or ducks at home, so these 20 eggs were obtained yesterday in a rush by exchanging them for a wild pheasant that Xu Jian had hunted.

Brown sugar boiled eggs are good for your health, so I specially prepared them for my daughter.

When Wen arrived, the village head Xu Dehua and his family were having dinner.

The village head was also the village chief of Xujia Village, and he was highly respected.

"Village head, I'm so sorry to bother you, but the matter is really urgent."

Xu Dehua put down his chopsticks and asked, "Have you eaten, Jianwa's mother? What happened so urgently?"

The village head's wife, Zhao, poured a bowl of water and handed it to him: "Have some water and calm down, Jianwa's mother, tell me what's wrong."

Wen gratefully accepted the water but didn't drink it. Instead, she took out the eggs she had carefully carried all the way and handed them to Zhao.

"I came so late because I need the village head's help. Take this to help Sanwa recover."

Sanwa was the third son of the village head's eldest son. He had a difficult childbirth.

This resulted in him being born with some intellectual disabilities; even at eight years old, he still acts like a two- or three-year-old child.

Zhao hurriedly pushed it back, repeatedly saying:

"No, no, your daughter is back to recuperate after childbirth, leave it for her to eat."

"Only women know the pain of childbirth. It's good that you're back."

Nothing in the village can be kept secret. After finishing their chores, the aunties love to gather in twos and threes to gossip.

The whole village knew about Xu Qing's return the day she was brought back. Some were gloating, while others felt sorry for her. Zhao was one of the latter.

The village head chimed in, "Take it back. Qing'er needs to replenish her strength right now."

Ms. Wen no longer refused, put away the eggs, and silently remembered the kindness of the village head's family.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late, but I really have something to ask of you."

Ms. Wen recounted to the village head the story her daughter had told her about Xu Baobao's household registration.

After hearing this, the village head waved his hand and said, "I thought it was something serious. This is simple. It just so happens that a new round of household registration applications has begun."

I'll transfer your two granddaughters and Qingya to your account together."

Hearing the village head's words, Wen felt relieved, thanked him a few times, and prepared to take her leave and go home.

She had been preoccupied with something, but now that it was resolved, the aroma of the food at the village head's house made her hungry, and she knew she had to hurry back for dinner.

"Jianwa's mother, take this. I heard Qing'er lost a lot of blood, so she needs to be well nourished, since she still has to take care of the baby."

Zhao stuffed a small cloth bag into Wen's hand; it weighed about one or two pounds.

When Wen opened it, it turned out to be rice.

She instinctively wanted to return it, but then she thought about her family's situation; her daughter and younger child really needed the rice.

She clutched the cloth bag tightly, her voice choked with emotion, and said, "I'll return it to you after Jianwa hunts something, Sister Zhao."

Zhao glared at Wen with a reproachful look: "Why are you saying all this? This is all as it should be. Have you forgotten when I was pregnant with the second child?"

I fell on the mountain. If it weren't for your Jianwa carrying me back, I probably would have died along with my unborn child.

"If you keep saying these unpleasant things, you shouldn't call me 'sister' anymore."

Ms. Wen nodded and walked back with light steps.

When they got home, Xu Jian had already prepared dinner, which was a porridge made from wild vegetables that Xu Baobao had dug up on the mountain and mixed with fern root powder.

The fern root powder was made by the Wen family from fern roots collected in the mountains. Since they didn't have any farmland, they could only find ways to collect some staple foods that didn't cost money.

I cooked a bowl of millet porridge for Xu Qing separately, with some wild vegetables and two red dates added.

Xu Jian had already taken it to Xu Qing to eat.

The millet and red dates were bought on short notice. Hunting in the mountains is difficult, and the money earned must be saved to pay off debts. They usually can't afford to buy food.

Xu Gong also chopped a large bundle of firewood and came back. Apart from Xu Qing, the whole family sat at the door waiting for Wen Shi.

"mother."

"Grandma."

The Xu brothers, Xu Jian and Xu Baobao, shouted in unison.

Wen smiled and agreed, handing the rice Zhao had given her to Xu Jian.

Xu Jian opened the package and saw that it contained rice. He said with delight, "Perfect timing! We're almost out of rice. My niece has eaten quite a lot."

"Was it borrowed from the village head's family, Mother?"

Xu Jian knew that his mother had gone to the village head's house, but he didn't know that Xu Qing had asked his mother to go on an errand. He just assumed that his mother had gone there specifically to borrow grain.

Only the village head's family would still lend them things.

Ms. Wen replied with emotion, "No, it was given to us by your Aunt Zhao. We must remember her kindness."

Xu Jian and the others nodded vigorously and then began to eat.

After dinner, Xu Jian cleared the dishes and went to wash them, while Xu Gong held Xu Beibei and comforted her.

Xu Baobao is young, and after spending the day digging for wild vegetables and helping to take care of her younger sister, she was so tired that she went to sleep first.

Wen walked towards Xu Qing's room.

Xu Qing was researching the functions of the online store when she unexpectedly discovered that the shopping cart could store items from this world.

With just a thought, she can automatically store items in the shop and retrieve them automatically.

When Ms. Wen entered, she saw her daughter staring blankly at the air and assumed that her daughter was still worried about Xu Baobao.

She quickly went over and said, "Daughter, the matter has been taken care of."

Upon hearing Wen's voice, Xu Qing left the mall.

She had been thinking a lot since she discovered the online store. She originally wanted to go up the mountain to see if she could find some wild vegetables to sell and make some money.

In her previous life, when she was developing a system to help farmers, she also went to rural towns to investigate and had a great love for hunting in the mountains.

However, modern resources are extremely scarce, and even after going up the mountain to one's death, one can find nothing.

But the moment she made a move, Xu Baobao and her older brother would get extremely nervous, telling her to just tell them what to do.

Hearing that she wanted to go up the mountain, he shook his head vigorously in disapproval.

She knew they meant well and didn't want to cause them trouble or worry.

Even if we let her stay in bed for a month, she won't be able to stand it. Wouldn't that be a waste of time and the shopping mall that God gave her?

After thinking it over, she decided to talk to her mother, and she even came up with an excuse.

"Mother, thank you." Xu Qing patted the side and said to Wen Shi, "Mother, sit down, I have something to tell you."

Wen carefully observed Xu Qing's expression.

Seeing that her eyes were clear and there was no sadness or worry on her face, I sat down on the edge of the bed with peace of mind.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Qing: "You know I gave birth to Beibei, a little girl, and I named her Xu Beibei."

"Major bleeding, he stepped into the gates of death..."

Wen quickly covered Xu Qing's mouth.

"Pah, pah, pah, all of that is in the past, why bring it up again? Things will get better and better for us, let's not think about these upsetting things anymore."

Fearing her daughter would dwell on her sorrow, Ms. Wen continued, rattling off a string of words:

"You're still young. Once you've recovered, Mom will find you a good one. Then, Mom will take care of your baby and everything else. You just need to live your life well..."

Xu Qing felt a warmth in her heart, once again experiencing her mother's love, which strengthened her resolve to speak out.

Seeing that her mother was going off on a tangent, Xu Qing, having obtained Wen Shi's belongings, interrupted her, saying:

"Mother, I will spend my whole life taking care of my two children and I will never remarry."

"Let me finish. I stepped into the gates of hell, and when I was unconscious, guess who I saw?"

Xu Qing's face was inscrutable, which piqued Wen's curiosity, and she subconsciously asked, "Who? Could it be the King of Hell?"
