"Dad, Mom, I'm back..."

Wu Yue quietly left home at dawn recently.

She met a servant from a wealthy family in the town. It was heard that the master of the family was anxious to find his seventh concubine.

Wu Yue secretly wondered in her heart what would happen if she continued to stay in this secluded little village.

I'm afraid my future will only be spent with butchers or carpenters.

In a wealthy family, even if you become a concubine, at least you will have no worries about food and clothing.

When you return home in glory in the future, covered in jewels and precious stones, who will still talk and point fingers at you behind your back?

She chose to set out early in the morning specifically to find a painter to paint a portrait for her.

He secretly gave the servant some benefits and asked him to present the portrait to the official.

If the gentleman really takes a liking to me, then this matter will be half successful.

As soon as she stepped into the door, Wu Yue noticed that the atmosphere in the house was unusual.

She asked cautiously, afraid of touching a sensitive nerve.

Xie Di accidentally leaked the news that Wu's mother secretly helped the He family. Wu Yue's heart was inevitably stirred, mainly because she felt disappointed and disdainful towards the so-called relative.

On weekdays, they treated the Wu family without much warmth, as if they were superior.

Only when they need help do they remember that the Wu family is their relatives.

It was not until Wu Yue and her mother were the only ones left in the room that Wu Yue lowered her voice and comforted her mother:

"Mother, you don't have to worry too much. If I can really marry into the Zhang family, there will be no shortage of money. I can give some to you at will, and these difficulties will be solved."

After hearing this, Wu's mother's eyes sparkled, as if she saw hope: "He is really my dear little cotton-padded jacket. He is nothing like your useless brother. I love him so much!"

The mother and daughter whispered to each other, exchanging secrets.

After enjoying breakfast, Ran He took his children and prepared to go out.

Although the Wu family's land does not belong to Wu Yue and Wu Xu, naturally Ran He will not have a share of it.

But her purpose was not to work in the fields, but to explore the world.

First, she took a detour to the back mountain, hoping to pick some fresh mushrooms there.

Add a delicious and satisfying mushroom soup to tonight's dinner.

At this moment, the sun was scorching and the children's eyes were slightly squinted due to the strong light.

I originally thought that my mother was planning to elope with Ma Er, but I didn't expect that she actually brought them to the back mountain.

The misunderstanding in their hearts disappeared in an instant. Their misunderstanding of their mother was really wrong.

Ran He's attention was attracted by the inconspicuous wild flowers and weeds on the roadside, and he picked a few bunches.

Use your dexterous hands to weave a wreath.

After a while, several delicate wreaths were born on her fingertips.

When worn on the head, it can both decorate and block the scorching sun, achieving the best of both worlds.

Ran He put wreaths on each child and herself.

Feel the original scorching sun being replaced by this sudden coolness.

"Let's keep moving forward and explore more unknown beauty."

She suggested softly, her tone full of anticipation and amusement.

While walking slowly toward the mountainside, Ran He unexpectedly met several fellow villagers. Most of them had indifferent expressions, like the lingering mist in the mountains in the early morning.

They were familiar with each other but also had an indescribable sense of distance. There was no extra greeting between them. They just exchanged an almost imperceptible nod when they passed each other, and then went their separate ways.

The rumors in the village were like an invisible wind, blowing through the windows of every household. It was said that Ran He had an unclear relationship with Ma Er from another village.

Such rumors made her position in the village delicate and awkward, so that the warm greetings and smiles of the past have now turned into a quick glance of indifference.

However, today's scene seems slightly different, just like the rare sunrise in the west.

Ran He, who usually treats children very strictly and often beats and scolds them, made an exception today and took the children up the mountain with him. This change can't help but make people wonder.

Ran He didn't care much about those villagers who watched coldly. Instead, such alienation made her feel an indescribable sense of ease.

Their steps became lighter, leading the children step by step deeper into the lush and mysterious forest.

In fact, the purpose of Ran He's trip was to try his luck and see if he could hunt a pheasant or other mountain delicacies.

This will provide a rare source of nourishment for malnourished children at home.

Her eyes traveled through the woods, but unfortunately, there was almost no sign of any living creature in the forest except the singing of birds and the sound of wind.

Not to mention how she would be able to catch those extremely agile pheasants with her hunting tools, which was an almost impossible task.

Just when Ran He was feeling discouraged, San Bao's big clear eyes flickered.

As if he had numerous questions in mind, he asked, "Mom, are you here to pick wild vegetables this time?"

There was a hint of hope in Sanbao's words, because in those days when people were hungry.

Whenever there was no place for them at grandpa and grandma’s table, mother would bring them to the back mountain.

Although the wild vegetables are still bitter and difficult to swallow after simple processing, they can at least temporarily relieve hunger.

Ran He nodded gently, with mixed feelings in his heart, "Well, just dig some, you guys wait for me under the shade of the tree here, I'll go look over there."

The children sat down obediently, their eyes full of trust and dependence on their mother, and waited quietly for her return.

Relying on his mastery of his original body's memory, Ran He quickly found the wild vegetables in an inconspicuous patch of grass.

Just as she was about to bend down to pick them, an unexpected discovery caught her eyes.

A few herbs with medicinal value are mixed among the wild vegetables. Although their quantity is small, they are enough to cure minor ailments and pains in daily life.

Ran He had an idea and thought about using these herbs to prepare medicine.

Whether for personal use or possible future transactions, it is an extremely valuable resource.

At this moment, a childish but wise voice sounded in Ran He's mind. It was the little elf Meng Meng in her space: "Master, why don't you move these herbs to the fields in our space? The land there is fertile and vacant. It is convenient and practical to grow herbs there. If there are more, we can use them at home."

Ran He was touched by this sudden suggestion, and immediately began to carefully transplant the herbs one by one into the fertile soil in the space. Without the help of any tools, he gently used his fingers to push away the soil.

Cover the roots, while Mengmeng carefully irrigates it with spiritual spring water.

The herbs seemed to sense the nourishment of the new environment. Their leaves trembled slightly, full of vitality and joy, and then returned to their tranquility, as if quietly accumulating strength in preparation for future growth.

Looking at the newly-born herb garden that only occupied a corner of the space, Ran He knew that this was just the beginning.
