After Wenxiu returned home, she busied herself with cleaning up the jujube picking and did not take Song Xiaoyue's words seriously. Right now, the most important thing was to dry the dates and put them away. When there was no food to eat, he would then take them out and fill his stomach.

In previous years, the original body had never picked red dates like Wenxiu. Firstly, people spoke softly and were weak, unable to compete with the villagers. Secondly, red dates were difficult to digest because the two children were too young, so picking them wouldn't be of much use. Therefore, this year, Wenxiu went to borrow a round plate to dry red dates. The neighbor, Sister Fang, even pestered her for a long time.

Sister-in-law Fang was Chen Liang's daughter-in-law. She was twenty-eight years old this year and had been married to Chen Liang for thirteen years. She had been living together with him for two sons and two daughters. Ever since Chen Liang's parents passed away seven years ago, the Chen family's brothers separated. Chen Liang was a simple and honest man, so he left the Chen family's new house to his two younger brothers. Meanwhile, he moved into the Chen family's old house with his wife and children.

Chen Liang was a simple and honest man, diligent and dependable. Every time he went to the village to work, he would leave Sister Fang to take care of the children at home. As soon as he had finished collecting the grains and was unable to stay at home, he went back to work in the town.

Sister Fang's youngest son was only four years old. She was very busy taking care of her child, so she didn't have time to go to the jujube forest to pick red dates. Looking at the red dates in Wen Xiu's round plaque, he smiled like a flower. He casually took one and put it in his mouth, saying as he ate, "Hey, Xiuniang, where did you pick these dates?" How sweet! "It's so much sweeter than what Aunt Liu picked, and it's even bigger …"

In his previous life, Wenxiu would never have interacted with people like sister-in-law Fang. Although Chu Feng was not a bad person, he had a very small heart and always thought of taking advantage of others. It was truly impossible to guard against him.

Wenxiu threw a glance at the red dates and pretended not to see them. She lowered her head to pick the dregs that were mixed in the red dates and replied in a neutral tone, "I didn't pick them in the jujube forest. It was just that I climbed up the tree to pick them, so they were a bit bigger."

"What?" You climbed trees to pick them? " Mrs Fang was somewhat surprised, but her hands were not idle. She said while stuffing the jujube into her mouth, "Oh, you're really something. My man wouldn't dare climb such a tall jujube tree. Tsk tsk tsk tsk … "Look, these dates can definitely be sold for a good price!"

With these words, Fang's eyeballs, which were staring at the jujube, could fall out at any moment.

"Someone is buying red dates?"

"Why isn't there one?" Lady Fang continued to eat, "Although the jujube in the jujube forest is not as big as the one in my garden, and not as sweet, the meat quality is still pretty good. Not everyone in the town has the money to buy red dates from the medicine shop …"

Fang Shi then said something about Wenxiu not listening anymore, she was wholeheartedly considering that these red dates were at least one hundred catties. If he sold these red dates, would he be able to sell them for some money?

No, she had to go into the town one day and ask for the price before she decided whether or not the dates were for sale. Most importantly, she still had more important things to do than these red dates!

Mrs Fang said a lot of things but Wenxiu was in a trance, not listening to her speak. Her expression instantly turned unhappy as she shouted, "Hey, Mrs Xiu, why are you in a daze? Don't tell me you want to sell red dates? Have you ever been to town? "

Her original body had indeed never been to the village. To be more precise, ever since she was sold to the village by her mother's family, she had never left the village, let alone the peaceful town five or six miles away. Although Mrs Fang's words were harsh, it was a fact. Wenxiu was also a bit depressed. She didn't even know the way!

Wen Xiu came back to her senses and patiently watched Lady Fang unrestrainedly eat the red dates on the round signboard. She said, "It's not like sister-in-law doesn't know my family's situation, she only has four walls and no money in her pockets. If it weren't for everyone leaving a path of survival for us to take care of, the three of us would have been thrown to some unmarked cemetery. For a poor person like me, where have I ever been to a city? " Having said so, she kindly pointed out, "Sister-in-law, you must be careful of food, red jujube skin is not easy to digest, be careful of stomach pain."

The Fang family initially heard Wen Xiu's words very smoothly. After all, their poor family background was slightly better than Wen Xiu's. But in the end, he was displeased and threw away the red dates in his hand and coldly snorted: "I won't be happy eating the two of you red dates, it's not like it's anything valuable. After you've dried up, quickly return the round plaque to me. I still have some use for it! "

"Alright!" Thank you, sister-in-law! "

When she was under the eaves, she had no choice but to lower her head and respond with a smile.

Lady Fang pursed her lips and wanted to turn away, but she couldn't resist burping. Embarrassed, she glanced at Wen Xiu again. Seeing that her smile was still shallow, she heaved a sigh of relief.

"Alright, you can busy yourself first. I'll go back first."

"Sister-in-law, wait a moment!" Wenxiu quickly called upon the Fang family and passed a handful of red dates to her, "Bring them back for the children to taste, but don't eat too many at once."

As a person, she was actually very kind!

Lady Fang looked at the large red dates in her arms, looking even more embarrassed. Perhaps it was because she was a little embarrassed by her actions just now, but after thanking her, she said, "Lady Xiu, it's better for a woman like you not to run into the woods. It's not safe."

Unsafe?

When Wen Xiu wanted to ask again, Fang Shi had already left with the red dates in her hands.

Song Xiaoyue was very nervous when she mentioned the woods near the jujube grove. Mrs Fang immediately told her to run less into the forest. Could it be that there was something edible in the forest?

Wenxiu thought about it and could not understand. She decided not to think about what she should do. The most important thing was that she was going to the town, but how was she going to get there?

From her original body's memories, Wenxiu did not manage to obtain much information about Peace Town. She had only heard about the name Peace Town from the villagers. However, other than Chen Shan and his family, no one else in the village was in a hurry to get to the market. Even though it was a market, it sold more things than it did things.

"Xiu Niang, what are you so engrossed in?" I called you many times! " Song Xiaoyue waved her hand in front of Wenxiu's eyes. Seeing that she did not react, her voice rose a few notches.

Wenxiu had a lot of things on her mind and it was a little complicated. She did not know where to start, so she just shook her head and greeted, "Have you dried all the dates in your house? and have the time to come to me. "

Song Xiaoyue didn't think so and waved it off. "Don't mention it anymore. I got in the way of this matter."

"What now?"

Song Xiaoyue looked around and made sure there were no outsiders. She then pouted and said unhappily, "I took a huge advantage of you and carried so many red dates back. In the end, I didn't get any. They were all taken away by my four sister-in-law."

Eyebrows...

Wenxiu could not interrupt the Wang family's household chores. She could only tell Song Xiaoyue to bring some back from her when she returned. After comforting Song Xiaoyue for a while, she asked in a low voice, "Mistress Yue, have you ever been to town?"
