Chapter 254 Full of Harvests
These words were overheard by Aunt Cuihong, who was passing by: "Second Uncle Yin, even if you have a grudge against the Shanliang family, you can't just lie through your teeth. What's the difference between them and being forced to leave with nothing? Once it's over, it's over."

Besides, Uncle Wu's family hasn't even complained yet, Uncle Er Yin, you're so eager to speak out for them, what benefits have they given you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I receive any benefits?"

After listening for a while, the Party Secretary said irritably, "Instead of thinking about how to make a good life for your own family, you're always worrying about other people's problems."

At this moment, Mr. Liu also came out: "Thank you all for your concern about my family's affairs, but anyone with eyes can see what I have been through before, so please be kind in the future."

Once these words were spoken, everyone naturally understood who they were referring to.

After saying goodbye to the Party Secretary, Liu's father headed home, as he still had a lot to do that day.

When he arrived home, Liu's mother was sweeping the yard: "You're back. Are your in-laws all well?"

"Yes, everything is fine. What about the first snow?"

"He went fishing and probably won't be back until noon."

After packing up, Liu's mother said, "We've moved the house. I'll start working tomorrow. Even if my daughter is capable, she can't not work. This is related to the distribution of food rations after the autumn harvest."

Mr. Liu nodded: "I'll go to the fields tomorrow too. If I can't do heavy work, I'll do some light work. I'll do less if I can't do much. It's not good to stay idle at home."

Liu's mother was a little worried: "Let's listen to Chuxue. Let her rest for a while longer. It would be bad if she overexerted herself and developed a chronic illness."

"It's okay. I know my own body. I won't push myself."

Although she felt bad about losing those work points, she was still worried about her husband's leg: "Why don't you go to the Party Secretary and ask him to arrange an easy job for you? We can't let a small thing cause us to lose a big one."

Father Liu thought about it and agreed: "Okay, when Chuxue comes back later, we can tell him when we go to give her the thank-you gift." Chuxue had already arrived at the pool. She scanned the area with her spiritual power and, finding no one there, released some water from the pool into her spatial storage. Soon, fish began to come towards her. She then collected some more into her spatial storage and went into the deep mountains.

Previously, because my family was building a new house, I wouldn't go too deep into the mountains, even if I went in, for fear that something might happen at home and I wouldn't be there.

There's nothing to worry about today. It's still early, so let's explore further.

After crossing the pond, she chose a direction she had never been before.

In a mountain valley, a small patch of wild peach trees was discovered. Chu Xue loves peaches the most, and seeing that there were several varieties of peach trees, she waved her hand and collected two trees of each variety into her space.

This mountain valley is truly a wonderful place. Further in, we found quite a few medicinal herbs, clearly indicating that few people come here. We picked out a lot of the older ones and dug them up, planning to plant them later when we got back to the house that night.

As I was about to leave, I discovered a pomegranate tree, which I happily stored in my spatial storage.

The shepherd's purse at the mouth of the mountain valley was very tender. She collected some into her space, thinking of planting some so that she wouldn't have to come out to dig it up when she wanted to eat it someday.

When she reached the foot of the mountain, she put a dozen or so fish weighing about two pounds each into her basket, along with some smaller fish. She intended to use the larger fish as a thank-you gift, and she planned to make some dried fish from the smaller fish to send to her sister later as a snack.

As Liu's father saw her enter the courtyard, he said, "You're back."

As he spoke, he wanted to step forward and lend a hand.

Then Chu Xue said, "Don't move, I can do it myself."

Hearing the noise, Liu's mother came out and saw the shepherd's purse on her back: "Oh, this shepherd's purse is so tender. Since we have time today, I'll steam some vegetarian buns with shepherd's purse filling for you."
