Shen Yue hurriedly ran out of the house to greet her. She didn't notice when Luo Mu went out and brought back such a large basket of wild vegetables.
"Mom, where did you get this food from?"
Shen Yue took the basket and looked through it. In addition to the common wild vegetables, there were also a lot of purslane. You must know that the nutritional value of purslane is not low, and it also has high soil quality requirements.
"Aunt Li asked her mother to go digging in the back mountain with her companion. They went there late and only found a small basket."
This year's harvest is not good, and life is difficult for everyone. We can only dig more wild vegetables to reduce the pressure of life. If Aunt Li hadn't taken her with her, she might not have been able to dig these.
Luo's mother looked worriedly at the well-behaved Shen Yue in front of her. In the past, Xiaojiu had some money to give to Yue'er when she worked, but now that Xiaojiu is in bed, there is no extra money at home.
She was a little afraid that Yue'er and Lu would run away and no longer want this family.
Seeing Luo Mu's worried eyes and thinking about what she had done before, Shen Yue instantly understood and could only hold Luo Mu's hand and explain.
"Mom, it was because of my ignorance in the past that I did too many things that made you and Xiaojiu sad. I swear I will never go to the Lu family again and live a down-to-earth life with Xiaojiu."
Shen Yue raised her fingers as if to swear, with sincere eyes.
Luo's mother already trusted her. After hearing what she said, she felt that Yue'er was really sensible and became stable and caring about her family.
Mother Luo pulled down her little hand that continued to swear and held it in her hand: "I believe you, mother. Our Yue'er has grown up. Mother is just guilty of not being able to give you a better life."
The hands that were grasped felt warm, and so did her heart. The corners of Shen Yue's eyes were a little moist. It turned out that this was how it felt to be trusted.
Shen Yue grew up with her father. She has never seen her mother since she can remember. Her father only knew how to let her study and never cared about her. She envied her friends who could act coquettishly in their parents' arms, but she could only use her excellent skills to His achievements earned him a light compliment from his father.
Shen Yue couldn't hold back, hugged Luo Mu tightly, and shouted in a slightly crying voice: "Mother."
This frightened Luo's mother. Hearing the crying voice, she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only put her arms around her and pat her back gently to comfort her.
After her mood calmed down, Luo's mother opened her mouth and asked: "Yue'er, did Xiaojiu bully you? Mom will make the decision for you."
"No, no, I just want to hug my mother." Shen Yue withdrew from Luo's mother's warm embrace and said sheepishly.
Luo Mu's embrace was so warm that she was reluctant to let go.
Luo's mother patted the back of Shen Yue's hand and comforted her softly: "If you have anything to do, just tell mom, don't keep it in your heart."
"Uh-huh."
"What's going on? Is Xiaojiu's wife wronged?"
As soon as Qin Lizheng entered the yard, he saw mother and daughter hugging each other. Xiaojiu's nose was still red, and she looked like she had cried.
Hearing Qin Lizheng's voice, Shen Yue quickly wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes. It was so embarrassing to be caught crying.
Fortunately, Luo's mother rescued her, and Qin Lizheng laughed and stopped asking any more questions.
Luo Mu exchanged a few pleasantries, got up and went into the kitchen to boil water, but she couldn't neglect Li Zheng.
"Come, wife Xiaojiu, let's see what Uncle Qin brought back for you?"
Qin Li was putting the package he had brought back on the small table in the yard and calling Shen Yue over.
"Here are the medicinal materials you want, as well as window paper paste, and these rice noodles."
Qin Lizheng took out the packages one by one, explaining the contents while taking them. In the end, he actually took out six taels of silver and wanted to give it to Shen Yue.
Shen Yue quickly refused. She bought so many things and she hadn't given Uncle Qin any money yet. Why did Uncle Qin give her money instead?
"Hey, look at my temper. This is a reward from the government for punishing evil and promoting good. You can just take it and keep it healthy for Xiaojiu."
"Uncle Qin, I just learned that the price of medicine here is extremely expensive. It must have cost a lot of money to buy these. You can take the money."
Qin Li was putting the silver into her hand, and Shen Yue pushed it back. The two were trying to push each other away, and there was a stalemate.
At this time, Luo's mother came over with water, understood the situation and helped Shen Yue speak.
"Li Zheng has come all the way to help carry things, how can I still let you give me money?"
"I have brothers who work in the medicine hall. They only cost a few dollars. These things were bought with the money given by the government. You can keep the rest of the money for your own use," Qin Lizheng explained. Besides, he also has a lot of benefits. , but it’s just not convenient to say it now.
Shen Yue knew that the money given by the government was definitely not that much. Sixty taels of silver was already a generous favor, and Qin Lizheng must have been keeping it to himself.
In the end, Shen Yue took out three taels of silver and threatened not to let Qin Lizheng help bring anything in the future, so Qin Lizheng had to accept it.
Qin Lizheng had a lot of things to do at home, so he drank some water, went into the room to look at Luo Qingjiu, and then left. Before leaving, he told him to contact him if there was anything he needed.
After sending Qin Lizheng away, he put everything on the table into the kitchen, and the mother and daughter started cooking.
Shen Yue helped choose the vegetables and volunteered to cook. Luo Mu smiled and washed the rice.
After a while, Shen Yue brought out two plates of vegetables, one stir-fried and one cold.
Shen Yue asked Luo Mu to taste it. Luo Mu took a chopstick and found it was moderately sweet and had the unique fragrance of wild vegetables. She gave it a thumbs up and praised it repeatedly.
Shen Yue was very happy after receiving the praise. She served Luo's mother a good meal, and another bowl with vegetables, then went into the house to feed Luo Qingjiu.
“Where did the rice come from?”
Luo Qingjiu's face suddenly darkened. She could hardly open the pot at home. She was still cooking rice. What would she eat next?
"Uncle Qin brought it."
Shen Yue told him the whole story, took out all the money from her waist and gave it all to Luo Qingjiu.
As for the share given by the system, Shen Yue has already kept it close to her body. This is of great use to her.
Luo Qingjiu was very surprised. Shen Yue, who regarded wealth as his life, would one day give him money?
"Since it's yours, take it yourself."
"No, I will keep this money for you to take the exam in a few days."
Luo Qingjiu's heart was beating loudly. How did she know that she was going to take the Tongsheng test this time, and she even gave him a dowry to support him.
The whole meal was unpalatable because of Shen Yue's words.
By the time he reacted, Shen Yue had already left the room, and the money in her hand was particularly hot.
How did Shen Yue know that he was going to take the Tongsheng test? Shen Yue said that the moment she entered the room, she received a side mission issued by the system.
[Side mission: Help the villain boss regain his confidence and obtain the qualification to be a child in fifteen days.]
Shen Yue had no choice but to hand over the money she had obtained, and at the same time gain a favorable impression to support him.
After leaving the house, Luo's mother was still waiting for her to eat, with her aunt's smile on her face, and Shen Yue didn't dare to look at her.
She really just feeds her to get a good impression, she really doesn’t do much!
Shen Yue quickly changed the subject, "Mom, try this cold wild vegetable. I poured it into the water and it doesn't taste bitter at all."
"Mom has tasted it, but I didn't expect our Yue'er's cooking to be so delicious."
The two chatted and laughed, finishing the two plates of food in a short time, leaving a little food left.
Shen Yue put it away and kept it for cooking porridge at night.
Luo Mu also helped wash the dishes and pots, and soon they were all sorted.
Everyone in the village has the habit of taking a nap, and Luo Mu is no exception.
While Luo's mother was sleeping, Shen Yue carried a small bamboo basket and quietly headed towards the back mountain.
The rice and noodles Qin Lizheng brought back were enough to feed the family for four or five days, but it was not enough to just eat without food. She wanted to go to the mountains to see the situation and come back soon.
