When Mao Cuilan tried to struggle free with all her might, Xia Yi quietly let go of her.

"Xia Yi!"

Xia Yi shrugged helplessly, "Aunt, I already promised to let go of her, what are you trying to do with so much effort?"

Mao Cuilan glared fiercely at Xia Yi and crawled up from the ground in a slightly sorry state. She said to Xia Yi, "Xia Yi, don't get cocky too early.

That idiot Niu Dazhuang from the Taurus Village had a brother called Niu Dazhi. He was a famous bully in the Taurus Village, and the most famous thing that happened was that he beaten up women for Niu Dazhuang, so no one dared to laugh at his silly brother.

"I won't marry!" Xia Yi said bluntly.

If she really married Niu Dazhuang of Taurus Village, then there would be no one who could protect Xia Yang and Xia Yue anymore.

Mao Cuilan scoffed, "Heh, since we've already accepted the betrothal gifts, it's not up to you to say whether we should marry each other or not! I have come today to remind you that the wedding date is set for three days from now. "

"The one receiving the betrothal gift is my aunt, not me. If my aunt is willing to marry, then marry." Xia Yi retaliated.

"You … What nonsense are you talking? "He's not too embarrassed to be in a hurry!" Mao Cuilan's face reddened from Xia Yi's words, "How did your parents teach you such an uncultured person? I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents today! "

With that, Mao Cuilan pounced towards Xia Yi again. Xia Yi was not the original owner, so how could he let her take advantage of him?

After this entanglement, Mao Cuilan had long been gasping for breath, but was unable to move at all.

"Aunt, if there's nothing else, please go back." The two little fellows who were standing behind were hungry, but Xia Yi had no intention to bicker with Mao Cuilan again. She pushed Mao Cuilan out of the courtyard, and even bolted the courtyard door on the way.

After doing all this, Xia Yi turned and entered the kitchen, ignoring what Mao Cuilan was shouting about outside the courtyard.

Xia Yue worriedly looked at the door to the courtyard, and quickly followed, "Elder sister, aunt is angry …"

Xia Yi knew what Xia Yue was worried about, and reached out to stroke her head: "When someone bullies you, the weaker they are, the stronger they will become, so you have to resist when you need to, do you understand?"

Xia Yue seemed to understand and nodded. She still remembered when her elder sister told her and her brother that if they could endure, they had to endure; if not, they had to grit their teeth and endure.

But... The three siblings had endured for two years, and did not do as the original owner had wished. Mao Cuilan's treatment of the three siblings became even more severe.

Until now, when Mao Cuilan sold off the original owner for a few silver coins. Only then did the original owner think of resisting in such a useless manner.

Xia Yi paced back and forth in the kitchen, she could not help but feel a little disappointed. If not for the stove in this empty house, she would not have been able to tell that this was a kitchen.

There was a thin layer of dust on the stove, indicating that it had not been used for some time.

Xia Yi tried to search for it, but in the end, she only found two handfuls of flour.

These two handfuls of flour were secretly given to the Granny Liu s next door. They were afraid that the siblings wouldn't be able to eat their fill.

Xia Yi couldn't help but hold her forehead. Thinking left and right, she could only try her best to save time and effort.

After adding firewood to the stove, Xia Yi tried to start a fire. After getting used to using modern technology, she suddenly reverted to such a primitive way of making fire. Xia Yi was still not used to it.

Seeing that Xia Yi was struggling a bit, Xia Yue came over, "Big sister, let me help you."

Not long after, a fire was lit. Xia Yue was only six years old, but the movements of the fire was extremely proficient, causing him to feel pain in her heart.

He was supposed to be innocent, but he had to bear the hardships of life. He had to live carefully.

Xia Yi secretly made up her mind that in the future, she would definitely let Xia Yue and him live a good life.

The flour paste was placed in the pot, and the fragrance that was unique to the noodles spread out in all directions.

Xia Yang extended his head and sniffed forcefully, and his saliva was almost flowing out. Such a simple ingredient had been processed by Xia Yi, but it could actually smell that good.

"It smells so good!" Xia Yang could not help but ask.

Xia Yue was also captivated by the fragrance, as she stared unblinkingly at the pot, she kept adding firewood, instantly increasing the intensity of the fire.

Xia Yi used one hand to grab Xia Yang who was beside the stove and slipped a few steps back. Then she said to Xia Yue: "Yue Yue, there's no need to get more firewood.

As the bowl of steaming hot knobbly soup entered his stomach, the chill on Xia Yi's body was dispelled by quite a bit.

Xia Yang and Xia Yue had to eat until their stomachs were bulging before they stopped.

Xia Yi finally had time to think carefully about her next step of making money.

According to Xia Yue, there were more than two acres of land in the house, but ever since they started eating together with the Second Aunt, all the crops in the fields were directly pulled over to the Second Uncle's house.

Right now, the wheat plants were only around 10 cm tall, and the water from far away could not quench his thirst. Seeing that the wheat plants were about to run out of food, Xia Yi had to make other plans.

In the end, she focused her attention on the mountain behind the village. Even if she couldn't catch any wild chickens or rabbits, it was still good to be able to find some wild vegetables.

"Yue Yue, is there any large animals on the mountain behind the village?" Since she was going up the mountain, Xia Yi decided to clearly understand the situation there.

Xia Yue's eyes flashed, and asked: "Elder sister, do you want to go up the mountain? "Can you not go?"

Xia Yi could see the fear in Xia Yue's eyes. Her heart sank, thinking that there shouldn't be any fierce beasts like lions or tigers right?

Just as he was thinking, he heard Xia Yue say, "Haunted living on the mountain."

It turned out that the mountain behind the village was called Spirit Mountain. Since two years ago, the mountain had been haunted, and many people had seen ghosts on the mountain. Since then, the villagers no longer dared to go up.

At that time, Xia Yue and Xia Yang were still young, and had never been up the mountain before.

Xia Yi could only find the Granny Liu next door and inquire about the situation on the mountain.

The Granny Liu's attitude was exactly the same as Xia Yue, and she was trying her best to dissuade Xia Yi from going up the mountain. But under Xia Yi's questioning, Xia Yi managed to get a rough idea of the situation on the mountain.

Granny Liu had lived for more than sixty years, but she had never heard of any wild beasts harming anyone.

Xia Yi's heart became a lot more at ease. She decided to wait until after Xia Yue and Xia Yang fell asleep that night, and then sneak up the mountain. She also didn't want the two little fellows to worry.

Just as Xia Yi was about to leave, she was called over by the Granny Liu, "Take these first."

The cloth bag in Granny Liu's hands contained some millet and flour.

"Grandmother, what are you doing?" Xia Yi refused to accept it.

However, he heard Granny Liu say: "Take it. I heard that you and your Second Aunt were arguing, these rice noodles will endure for the next two days. When your Second Aunt's anger is gone, go and apologize to her."

Xia Yi had to decline in any way since she had not tried to force the Granny Liu, so she could only take the Rice Noodle Roll back. She really needed this right now, so she might as well take it and return it to the Granny Liu when she had it.

When she returned home, Xia Yi saw the person she should not have seen the most. Mao Cuilan stood outside the courtyard of her house and did her best to look in.
