Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands Chapter 97 - 097 Save Me (3)

"What’s wrong, second brother?" Li Yuzhu asked nonchalantly.

"You dropped your shovel in his yard; he just brought it over." The Second Young Master looked at Li Yuzhu with a scrutinizing expression, "How did your shovel end up in his yard? What did you go to his house for?"

"Yeah, what did you do?" Li Xing’an, the third brother, also looked at Li Yuzhu and asked.

"I didn’t do anything, I just asked him... whose family is selling ewes. I want to buy one to milk for Guoguo and Jingjing to drink. Maybe I put the shovel down by my feet when I was talking and forgot to take it back."

Li Yuzhu took the shovel from the Second Young Master’s hand and placed it beside the small cart.

Hehe! Mu Yuanxiu must have done it on purpose. Couldn’t he have brought everything at once?

"Is it just that?" The brothers followed her together, asking, their eyes full of doubt.

"What else? I don’t know him well. Of course, whether he wanted to talk or not, I didn’t get anything out of him and ca back." Li Yuzhu spread her hands.

From her observation, Mu Yuanxiu was a man of few words, likely not one to give her away.

If he were to say anything...

Her silver needles were not for show!

"Third sister, next ti you have questions, ask the villagers, not him. I always feel he has deep intentions and isn’t well-aning towards you," the Second Young Master squinted and said.

The third brother nodded, "I sensed the sa. From the mont he saw our third sister, his eyes have been glued to her. Who knows what he’s plotting, huh!"

"I’m smart, he wouldn’t dare plot against ." Li Yuzhu scoffed.

"If he dares to make any moves on you, the two of us will beat him so badly he’ll be picking teeth off the ground!" The Second Young Master and Li Xing’an said, clenching their fists together.

"Li Yuzhu, is the al ready? I’m starving!" The Great Princess, sitting at the table, complained while clutching a bowl.

The Second Princess was already eager to ladle so wild chicken soup, watching as the bowl filled more and more, scaring Li Yuzhu to rush over quickly.

This bowl wasn’t small, that jar of wild chicken soup couldn’t withstand being served like that.

Wouldn’t the others get to eat?

"Second sister, let do it!" Li Yuzhu grabbed the bowl from the Second Princess.

She poured the soup back into the jar and found a large soup bowl to pour it all out.

Even so, it was only just over half a bowl.

The red date chicken soup was richly aromatic, but there was too little!

The family all eyed the chicken soup greedily.

"Two pieces and a ladle of soup per person, no snatching extra!" Li Yuzhu guarded the bowl.

She personally distributed the portions so everyone had chicken and soup to eat.

They ate rare dry rice, and the family ate to their fill.

The Second Princess licked the chicken bones, "Third sister, is there more tomorrow?"

Li Yuzhu’s face darkened, did they think it fell from the sky?

"Depends on our luck!" she replied, speechless.

After the al, Li Yuzhu counted the herbs for the three of them, just like in the morning. After storing them in space, there were about ten pounds of dry herbs.

Li Yuzhu decided she would also go to dig so herbs tomorrow.

.

Early the next morning, after a bit of porridge and pancakes, everyone went about their business.

The Xue Family and the Great Princess and Second Princess were in one group, while Prince Luling took the three sons.

Li Yuzhu greeted Princess Consort Luling and then carried a basket to the foot of the mountain.

She didn’t go towards the place where they were building houses, instead she circled to the northern foot of Niu Tou Mountain.

That place, going further led to the expansive mountains, where it’s said no one from the nearby villages had ventured, and there should be rare herbs near the mountains.

Just as she reached the northern foot, Li Yuzhu heard soone behind shout for her, "Help !"

She turned around to see, wasn’t that Miss Chai?
