"What money? If you give me money, I won't give you the dish even if I throw it back. Isn't this slapping me in the face? " Madam Wang said angrily.

Before Luo Qiuyun could reply, she said, "I brought you the dishes out with good intentions, but you just gave me the money without any hesitation. That's why people found out, thinking I'm in a hurry to get the money from you guys. Is my face only worth this much?"

The more Madam Wang spoke, the angrier she became. Seeing this, Luo Qiuyun hurriedly begged for mercy, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong. I deserve to die. Please spare me a lot of money this time. Let's not talk about money. Money hurts relationships. I'll have this dish for free. I won't give anything to you, alright?"

Seeing Luo Qiuyun begging for forgiveness, Madam Wang smiled and said, "That's more like it, sis. Sister-in-law is a few years older than you, so I'll call you that. Although you guys aren't worried about money right now, it's not like the wind blew. We still need to save the money."

"I heard that Brother Li still needs to go to school. This will cost a lot of money, and in the future, the examinations for the magistrate court and the magistrate court will also be very expensive." I heard that Brother Li still needs to go to school, and in the future, Brother Li will be spending a lot of money.

"Alright, thank you sister-in-law. I'll have to trouble you in the future!" Sensing the other party's goodwill, Luo Qiuyun smiled and nodded.

After that, he helped put the vegetables in the kitchen and chatted with Luo Qiuyun for a while before preparing to leave. But when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that Luo Qiuyun's new house was inviting him for a meal, so he asked, "Sister, when are you planning to hold this feast? "Then remember to tell sister-in-law that I'll prepare the vegetables for you."

"I don't know how to handle the banquet for the time being. Sister-in-law knows that we haven't moved in for long and we don't even know what the situation in the village is. When the time comes, who should be invited, how should I treat you, how many tables should be set …" "I don't know anything about this, but I really don't know what to do." Luo Qiuyun answered honestly.

Madam Wang thought for a moment after hearing this and tried to sound him out, "That's not the case. I'm the one who is not considerate enough. How about this? If you trust sister-in-law, then you can go back and discuss it with dad. I'll tell you later."

"That's great. Thank you, sister-in-law. You are my sister-in-law." Luo Qiuyun pretended to be overjoyed.

Although it was not clear whether Madam Wang had any other intentions in her heart, Luo Qiuyun was still willing to get close to people who held good will towards her. Furthermore, she was the eldest wife of the village chief, and since her family was living in the village, their lives would be better off with her taking care of them.

After Luo Qiuyun washed the newly bought dishes, she cleaned up the kitchen and prepared dinner before placing it in the next dining room. When she was ready to eat, she realized that the two little ones had gone off somewhere.

"Tianli, Tianxiang." Luo Qiuyun came out from the inside, walked through the firewood piled corridor, followed a small door and walked out of the main hall along a few meters long corridor. Then she walked through the main hall along the big patio outside the main hall and out of the front yard by the east wing, searching while calling out to someone. Unfortunately, no one was found in the front yard, only the faint sound of voices coming from the back yard could be heard.

Luo Qiuyun guessed that they were probably going to the backyard, so she went in through the gate again and followed the main hall. She went through the corridor of the west wing to the connecting corridor and opened the door. She entered the backyard and found that the two small ones were indeed inside.

"Sis, mother." The two youngsters also noticed Luo Qiuyun. They raised their heads and called out to her, before returning to their own work.

"What are you two doing?" Luo Qiuyun asked curiously as she watched Luo Tianli and his brother constantly pulling at the surrounding weeds.

"Mother, I'm pulling up the grass with little uncle." Luo Tianxiang answered first.

Luo Qiuyun was speechless when she heard this. She thought to herself: Who doesn't know that the two of you are plucking the grass? I'm asking the two of you to pluck a portion of the grass.

However, Luo Tianli started to explain before she could ask, "Sis, this is leek, I found a lot in the backyard. Let's tidy up the grass and go to the well over there to get some water. Maybe we'll be able to eat it in two days."

"Leek?" Luo Qiuyun squatted down to take a closer look and found that it really was the leek. As for the grass that they pulled up earlier, it was the newly grown weeds in the leeks, and the tender plants that looked like wheat seedlings were the real leeks.

"Why did you two come here to weed the vegetable patch?" Luo Qiuyun couldn't help but ask.

After listening to Luo Tianxiang's explanation, he found out that Luo Qiuyun was busy and that he had nothing to do, so he wanted to go to the backyard to see if there were any vegetables that the previous owner had not finished picking. If there was, it would be perfect to sort them out so that he wouldn't have to spend money to buy it or ask others for it in the future!

However, when they arrived at the backyard, they discovered that they had already finished harvesting the vegetables, leaving behind a few lowly leeks, and many weeds growing together. Who knew that when they arrived at the backyard, they would find that they had already harvested the vegetables, and only some lowly leeks, and many weeds growing together.

"Mother, am I being very obedient?" Luo Tianxiang suddenly raised his head and asked Luo Qiuyun.

"Good boy, Tianxiang and Tianli are very sensible!" Luo Qiuyun replied, "However, the backyard is so big, and it's almost dark. We can talk tomorrow. When the time comes, mother will work with you. Why don't we go back and eat dinner first?"

"Can we eat now? "Alright, Sis, let's go back now." When Luo Tianli heard there was food, he reacted faster than anyone else. He stood up, ran to the well beside the door and started washing his hands and feet.

Luo Qiuyun had forced him to get used to washing his hands before dinner. Even Luo Tianxiang, the youngest among them, knew that he had to wash his hands before eating. Otherwise, the dirt on his hands would cause his stomach to be upset …

When Luo Tianxiang noticed Luo Tianli quickly running over to wash his hands, he also ran over to wash his hands. For once, Luo Tianli didn't make things difficult for the little guy who was working with him.

Come out from the backyard, close the door, and follow the east-west corridor directly past the main hall. Then go through the firewood corridor to your own small dining room to eat.

On the simple and unadorned table, there were a few dishes that they were unfamiliar with. However, the place where the potatoes or chestnuts were originally placed had been replaced with radishes and taro. However, the fragrance was still the same, and the smell was probably not too bad.

Luo Qiuyun scooped up two bowls of rice and placed them in front of Luo Tianli and herself, leaving behind only the little guy Luo Tianxiang. Luo Qiuyun placed a bowl of specially steamed eggs in front of him, worried that he wouldn't be able to eat the rice.

"Yes, Sis. It's delicious. Your cooking skills are getting better and better!" Luo Tianli praised as he ate.

Luo Qiuyun looked up at her brother, who was eating with his mouth full of oil. The corner of her mouth twitched, but she didn't respond. Instead, it was Luo Tianxiang who replied, "Of course. Whatever mother makes is the most delicious!"

Alright, these words sounded like pure adoration. However, in reality, Luo Qiuyun's culinary skills were still pretty good. Of course, they would find the food delicious because of the contrasting results.

Although the two kids didn't stay with Luo Qiuyun at Old Village Head's house for long, after eating the boiled vegetables from his house and comparing them with his own fried vegetables, they naturally felt that the dishes from home were better.

A day passed unknowingly like this. When they woke up the next day, Luo Qiuyun had already prepared breakfast. After the two kids had finished eating, she led them to the backyard.

Today, the three of them planned to tidy up the garden first and plant all the vegetables that needed to be planted. After all, they would be living in the village often in the future and waiting for others to give them or go to the market to buy vegetables was not a problem.

Luo Qiuyun's previous master had just finished harvesting. Although there was a lot of grass, they were all newly sprouted seedlings that were less than an inch long and were easy to clean up. Luo Qiuyun had been busy with the two little ones for a day, then she had to dig up the soil and sow the seeds.

After finishing all these, he would water the vegetable field the next day. This wasn't a difficult job, Luo Tianli would do it when he got up early to practice.

Luo Qiuyun was thinking about the cured meat in the mountains, and the potatoes and chestnuts and the homemade salt she didn't have time to bring back. Especially those white salts, they might have gotten used to eating in the mountains. Even Luo Tianli and Luo Tianxiang, who were small, complained to Luo Qiuyun about the fine salts they bought outside.

"Looks like I have to return to the mountains when I'm free and secretly bring back the items!" Luo Qiuyun thought to herself. She had already moved to live at the foot of the mountain. If she didn't bring back the things in the mountain, then she could only give those bugs and birds some money. It was not worth it.

Luo Qiuyun had always been a straightforward person, so she decided to do as she was told and quietly went up the mountain the next day.

Initially, Luo Tianli and Luo Tianxiang also wanted to follow them. However, because Luo Qiuyun said that Luo Tianxiang was too young, taking him along would only be a burden instead of a help. Therefore, Luo Tianli agreed to take the kids at home, and Luo Qiuyun went up the mountain alone.

Fortunately, the house they were in was closest to the entrance of the village. This made it so that Luo Qiuyun kept the news of her arrival a secret. Even after Luo Qiuyun moved all the stocks back, no one in the village found any trace of her.

In the past, when they lived in the cave and didn't have time to sort things out, they didn't know that their savings would actually be this much during the autumn and winter. In the past, when they lived in the cave and didn't have time to sort things out, they didn't know that their savings would actually be this much during the autumn.

If this was in the past, Luo Tianli wouldn't even dare to think about it. However, ever since Luo Qiuyun had shown him her innate supernatural strength, he felt that it was possible for anything to happen to his sister, and the homemade white salt was the most powerful evidence.

Apart from dried meat, there were still a lot of dried chestnuts left, but not many potatoes. Luo Qiuyun divided the dozen pieces and planted them in the dry land next to the fruit trees in the front yard.
