A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.

Ye Qingxue ruffled Ye Hao'er's hair and smiled at him, "Is it delicious?"

Ye Hao'er smiled and said, "Delicious!"

The two quickly finished the porridge. Halfway through, Li You came to deliver some medicine and then took away the dirty bowl that Lu Chuci had used.

Ye Qingxue carried Ye Hao'er into the kitchen, washed the dishes herself, and then quietly took out a quilted padded jacket from her spatial storage and dressed Ye Hao'er in it.

Ye Hao'er sniffed as Ye Qingxue fiddled with him, unaware of what was happening.

But suddenly he didn't feel cold anymore!

Are these new clothes? They're so soft and comfortable!

Ye Hao'er flapped her arms excitedly.

The sudden warmth made Ye Hao'er feel extremely comfortable. As she played around, she became sleepy and her eyelids started to droop.

Ye Qingxue smiled helplessly, picked her up and left the kitchen, walked to the bedside and put her down.

Lu Chuci, who was thinking on the bed, suddenly found a baby next to her in the blink of an eye.

"Lu Xiaosha, keep an eye on Hao'er, I'm going out for a bit."

Then I grabbed a clean set of clothes and left through the back door.

Lu Chuci looked at the little one sleeping soundly next to him and hesitated to move for a moment.

He was afraid of breaking it because it was so small.

Then he noticed Ye Hao'er's jacket and gently touched it.

The quality is quite good; I used to spend all my earnings on clothes.

Lu Chuci stared at Ye Hao'er's sleeping face for a long time before finally unable to resist curving her lips and reaching out to pinch Ye Hao'er's cheek.

Then I touched the soft hair again.

Then I poked his little belly.

The kids are quite fun.

Ye Qingxue stepped outside, mounted her donkey, and planned to find a secluded spot to take a bath.

My body was so dirty, covered in blood and sweat.

There is a river in the deserted village, but the water quality is a bit poor, and Ye Qingxue, who always enjoys the most luxurious bathing services, doesn't really want to go there.

She remembered that on the way to Qingshui County, there was a lake about five miles away, which looked fairly clean.

Few people go there because there are no fish in the lake and it's too far away.

But for Ye Qingxue, who owns a donkey, it is an excellent place to go.

Soon, in less than half an hour, Ye Qingxue arrived.

It was already getting dark, and Ye Qingxue had to hurry.

She checked that no one was around, took off her clothes, and walked into the lake. The water was so cold that Ye Qingxue was startled and it took her a while to get used to it.

However, the cool water did make her slightly aching wound feel much better.

Ye Qingxue carefully scrubbed her body several times with coarse linen before she felt clean.

After changing into clean clothes, I rode my Debao bike home.

The sky had completely darkened, a damp, cool breeze was blowing, and a light rain began to fall.

The first thing I did when I got home was to go find the village chief, Lu Meng.

She knew that tomorrow was the day everyone would go deep into the mountains to find food, and she couldn't miss such an opportunity.

Lu Meng and his ilk have lived in the village for most of their lives, so they must know where to find good stuff.

It's too much trouble to search for them one by one by myself.

As soon as he stepped out of the house, he found Lu Meng standing at the door, about to knock.

Upon seeing Ye Qingxue come out, he chuckled awkwardly, "Little Xue, it's time to take Ye Hao'er out to sleep."

Lu Meng wouldn't be so kind; he just didn't want anyone to disturb their intimate moments.

Ye Qingxue was annoyed, but still nodded: "Yes, I'll bring it out in a bit. Father-in-law, I want to discuss something with you."

Lu Meng frowned slightly: "What is it?"

"Could my daughter-in-law participate in tomorrow's group trip up the mountain to forage for food?"

Without even thinking, Lu Meng blurted out, "How can that be? What help can you women be?"

Feeling weak and cumbersome.

Ye Qingxue could tell that Lu Meng practically had the words "Women are a burden" written all over his face!

She suppressed the nausea in her heart and still spoke softly, "Father-in-law, don't worry, listen to me. I know that these kinds of activities distribute food according to the amount of effort each family puts in. I may not have much else, but I'm just very lucky."

Ye Qingxue coaxed gently, "Think about it, yesterday was the first time your daughter-in-law went up the mountain, and she found a whole litter of rabbits, a total of six!"

"I ate one, traded the two for a donkey, gave the two to the town as toll money, sold one, made thirty-five coins, bought some grain, and still had some left!"

Ye Qingxue lied without batting an eye, speaking fluently and seriously, leaving Lu Meng stunned.

"Think about today, I was so lucky to escape from the mouth of the White Tiger. That was a White Tiger with piercing eyes! How dangerous and ferocious it was! Even now, I still feel lingering fear when I think about it."

Ye Qingxue gently patted her chest, feigning panic.

"Besides, our family is about to welcome a big, healthy baby boy, right? More people means more help."

Ye Qingxue's reasons were like a barrage of bullets, leaving Lu Meng completely bewildered.

That actually makes sense.

Seeing that Lu Meng was wavering, Ye Qingxue quickly asked, "Father-in-law, please let me go this time. If I can't contribute and instead need everyone to protect me, I will not mention this matter again."

Lu Meng remained silent for a moment, then was finally persuaded and agreed: "Alright, I'll let you give it a try."

"If anyone objects..."

"I am the village chief! Who dares to oppose me?"

Ye Qingxue smiled: "Thank you, Father-in-law!"

Inside the room, Lu Chuci gently chuckled as she played with Ye Hao'er's small hand and listened to the commotion outside.

As soon as Ye Qingxue entered the room, she saw Lu Chuci smiling as he held Ye Hao'er's hand.

She quickly stepped forward, gently picked up Ye Hao'er, and whispered, "Little fool Lu, he's not your toy, you can't break his arm!"

Lu Chuci: ...

?

He just has a low IQ, he's not a violent maniac!

Ye Qingxue took off Ye Hao'er's jacket and carried him to the bed in the outer room.

I tucked him in to make sure he wouldn't get cold, and then went back to my room.

He quickly tidied himself up, lay down fully clothed, and his mind sank into the space.

Upon entering the space, the system's voice was heard: "The rice is ripe. Please harvest it in time."

Ye Qingxue excitedly stepped forward and saw a glove-like bubble pattern floating above the rice paddy.

She poked the pattern with her hand, and the field immediately began to glow. The golden rice seedlings disappeared, and a cotton sack gradually appeared on the ground, filled to the brim with hulled rice grains.

The plump, translucent rice looks so appetizing that it makes your mouth water.

On a plot of land about one meter square, Ye Qingxue planted nine rice stalks and harvested about two kilograms of rice.

Perhaps it's because the soil in this spiritual field is of better quality, the harvest is more than twice as good as usual.

Ye Qingxue immediately planted rice seeds to make the most of her time.

Then I went to look inside the storage room. It was a very simple little wooden house with wooden walls and a tiled roof, and there was nothing inside.

The two pheasants and the wild boar inside were very quiet, showing none of the wildness of wild animals.

She now has six packets of seeds, two pheasants, one wild boar, and two wolf pelts, which is considered extremely abundant in resources in the deserted village.

Ye Qingxue walked out of the storage room with satisfaction, only to be surprised to see that the huge brown characters in the black mist had changed!

Mission Two is here!
