A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!

Seeing his somewhat irritable wife, all he could do was offer comfort.

"Besides, what do they want from us? Haven't you noticed? These two look great, not at all like they've been starving."

The woman thought about it and realized, "Oh, right. They don't look like they're starving at all. They look like they eat their fill every meal and are well-nourished, especially the one in the car, who has fair and tender skin."

"My gut feeling tells me I must keep them here, or I'll regret it."

The woman rolled her eyes. She was being all mysterious. Seeing the other person's cowardly look, she had a gut feeling. She spat at that!

"Anyway, they're just staying for a few days, so we don't need to worry about anything. If they need water, we'll charge them the highest price."

"I understand," the woman said listlessly.

She has no interest in making money now. She's cold and unresponsive, not something you can eat or drink. What can she do?

"Jiang Yi, we need to live a frugal life these next few days. We can't eat too well here." They couldn't provoke him too much and make themselves a target.

"I don't care. You can eat whatever you want in the room."

Jiang Yi couldn't bear to see Xia Ning suffer, especially when they had resources.

Xia Ning also felt that she was making trouble for herself and forcing herself to suffer when she had no reason to.

"Do you need help?"

After being scolded by his wife, the village chief dared not stay in the house any longer. He came out and saw that they were still busy, so he casually asked them what was going on.

"Need not."

Jiang Yi disliked him very much, and spoke in a cold and harsh tone.

Xia Ning said nothing.

The village chief, feeling awkward, rubbed his hands together and scratched the ground with his toes.

"Village chief, how much is the rent per day if I stay at your house?" Xia Ning didn't intend to stay for free or take advantage of others.

"No need, no need, it's empty anyway." The village chief waved his hands repeatedly. He couldn't accept the money; if the villagers found out, they would think he was trying to make extra money.

"If you want to drink the water in our village, you have to pay. One bowl of water costs 100 coins."

Watching the village chief gesture with his hand to indicate the size of the bowl, Xia Ning's temples throbbed. This man, though seemingly simple-minded, was actually no pushover.

It's just the size of a regular rice bowl, and it costs 100 coins a bowl. Why doesn't he just rob us? Compared to him, I'm a truly conscientious merchant.

No wonder they made so much money selling water!

That's fucking black!

"If we buy a lot, will we get a discount?"

"No, this is the lowest price," he said dejectedly. Right now, he didn't want to experience the joy of making money at all.

Take it or leave it, no haggling, that's how awesome they are from Xiaweiba Village!

The more money he had, the more depressed he became. What was the use of it if he couldn't even exchange it for a wild vegetable pancake?

"We still have some water now, we'll buy more from you when we need it."

The village chief shrugged and turned away indifferently.

As Xia Ning watched his retreating figure, she inexplicably felt that this person seemed rather aloof. It was as if he regarded money as dirt.

However, if they sell her water for such a high price, she certainly wouldn't be so polite if they were selling her grain.

By the time they finished cleaning up, it was past noon.

At noon, she saw the village chief's wife cook a pot of herb root soup. It was almost all water, with very few herbs. She didn't even ask them if they wanted some; she just cooked it and brought it inside.

That's really shabby!

They closed the door and began to eat. They ate flatbread with white porridge, and also took out a dozen boiled eggs and a bowl of vegetable and egg soup.

These things are considered to have a mild flavor.

"Mom, I smell eggs."

"I can smell it too! It smells so good!"

The two little kids who were helping with the work in the yard said.

What the hell!

Are these two kids born in the Year of the Dog? They can smell it even from this!

The village chief sniffed hard; he thought he could smell the aroma of white flour pancakes.

The whole family was sniffling in the yard. The couple looked at each other, their eyes simultaneously fixed on the closed door.

I knew they had food, but I didn't expect them to eat so well!

Good heavens, what kind of family can still afford to eat eggs and wheat flour these days!

Won't the eggs spoil along the way? Do they lay eggs on their own, or are there people selling this precious commodity along the way?

If someone sells them, wouldn't they be able to buy a few? Xiaweiba Village isn't short of money!

The couple understood each other's thoughts, their four eyes gleaming with eager anticipation. They weren't stealing or robbing; they just wanted to know if land was truly available for sale!

No wonder the head of the household said that his intuition told him to keep the person. Of course he had to keep him; he had to treat him like royalty.

"Dad, doesn't it smell delicious!"

"Dad, does it still taste like biscuits?"

"Mom, do we have any food left? Can I have a bite?"

"Mother, I really can smell it!"

"Really, Mom, I'm so hungry!"

"I'm so hungry!"

The children all thought their parents had hidden food and looked at them expectantly.

"Could we have just one bite? Just one bite!"

The two looked at their two children, whose heads were big and bodies were small, and felt very bad.

"Sweethearts, go back inside. You won't be hungry if you fall asleep. You know we're out of food."

The two children's eyes were dim. Yes, there was no grain at home, not even a leaf of vegetable. They ate grass roots every day.

So, the aroma we just smelled was from a new guest sneaking a bite.

"Brother, let's go inside."

The older brother held his younger brother's hand, and once inside, the smell would stop their cravings. Food was precious these days, and no one would be willing to give it to them; they couldn't ask anyone for it either.

"Wow……"

The little boy burst into tears. He was so hungry, so very hungry, that he felt like he was about to starve to death!

The village chief carried the child into the house, and the whole family stayed inside without going out.

Xia Ning was speechless. She had been taking it easy and was eating dry food. Did this family, with their keen sense of smell, expect her to eat cornbread?

"How about we eat out from now on?"

"Where to go? This village is full of people. Forget it, let's just leave it at that."

She was fairly satisfied with this family; they didn't make a scene or ask her to take pity on them. The couple had also raised their child well. No wonder this village, despite its current state, remained so united.

The sounds of crying and the village chief and his wife comforting the child could still be faintly heard from inside the house. Gradually, the crying stopped.

Jiang Yi looked at the egg in his hand and lost his appetite.

"You can put it away; we'll eat it tonight."

"Okay, from now on, we won't eat anything while they're in the yard."
