121 Grandma Zhou Is Going to Do Something Bad
When Hu Zhengyi and the others went to the Wang Family, the Wang Family had already put down their discussion for the time being.
In any case, Dalang’s marriage could not be rushed. They still had to resolve the matter of the matchmaker. They could only wait for Old Madam Wang to go to the county city on the second day.
Little Ah Yu skipped forward and led the way. The few men looked at her back and felt a little emotional.
“The Wang family has raised this child really well!”
Looking at such a young lady, she was really likable.
However, it was impossible to make them feel that raising a daughter was more cost-effective than raising a son.
No matter how good a daughter was, she would belong to someone else in the end.
Still-
A few villagers whispered, “Ah Yu is so good-looking, polite, and obedient. She’ll definitely be a good wife.”
“Old Madam Wang is very efficient. The daughters-in-law she taught are all good. The Wang family’s style is also good.”
“There are two boys in my family who are only 5 years old. They’re about the same age as Ah Yu. Why don’t we let Ah Yu be our daughter-in-law in the future and marry within the village? The Wang family won’t refuse.”
“Why did you say what I said? I also think Ah Yu is a good kid. Although this child... ahem, I forgot, I can’t mention this matter anymore. In short, I think it’s a good idea.”
“Don’t mention it in front of Old Madam Wang. Be careful that she hits you with a broom!”
“Haha, Ah Yu is so young. We will definitely be beaten up if we bring it up now. Just keep the thoughts to yourself!”
The villagers chatted and laughed. They looked at Ah Yu even more lovingly.
It was an uncomfortable thought that girls were fated to marry into another person’s family, but it was extremely comfortable to know that someone else’s daughter was fated to become theirs!
Little Ah Yu was completely unaware. When she arrived at the door, she imitated her Fifth Brother and shouted at the top of her lungs, “Mother, Grandma, there’s a guest at home!”
Old Madam Wang looked out and saw Hu Zhengyi and the others.
“Why are you all here?”
“Old Madam Wang, it’s like this. The land we farmed has sprouted recently-”
As Old Madam Wang listened, she led the few of them to the courtyard and sat down at the stone table.
She called out to Ah Yu and the few boys behind. “The adults are talking about something. Go somewhere else to play first.”
The boys could not wait and immediately scattered.
Only then did Old Madam Wang look at them. “You want to ask about the grain seeds, right? When I was looking for the divine doctor, I accidentally met a businessman and spent a lot of money to buy them...”
As she spoke, Divine Doctor Xue waved his dog-beating stick and chuckled as he walked out of the chicken coop.
As he laughed, he shook his head. “No, no. The authentic dog-beating stick technique has to be used to beat dogs!”
Before the others could greet him, Divine Doctor Xue had already run off with his rod.
Everyone: “...” They really couldn’t tell that he was a divine doctor!
“Divine Doctor Xue is still at your house? Has Uncle Wang and Brother Chuangui’s legs not been treated yet?” Hu Zhengyi could not help but be concerned.
“They’re still recuperating. Their recovery is not bad.” Old Madam Wang did not want to say anything else and changed the topic.
This was an excuse she had already thought of. Even her sons and daughters-in-law were taught to tell others the same thing.
As for when she bought the seeds and when it was transported back, Old Madam Wang simply asked in return, “Why? Are you even going to investigate me now? Who gave you the guts?”
Her sons and daughters-in-law were so frightened that they did not dare to ask further.
Now that the people from the village were here, she naturally could not scare them casually. Naturally, she used the same excuse.
The villagers were stunned when they heard this, and they seemed to believe it.
Old man Wang’s family had been lucky during this period of time. If they could earn a large sum of money to buy land, it was not impossible for them to buy such good grain seeds.

The soundproofing of houses these days was indeed not good. Old man Wang lay at home and could hear Old Madam Wang’s words outside. He gave his wife a thumbs up in his heart.
If not for the fact that he knew the truth, even he would have believed it.
Old man Wang could not help but ponder. All these years, had his old wife really not held anything back from him? Could there be something that his old wife had hidden from him, but he did not know.
Little Ah Yu and her brothers discussed what to plant in the fields and immediately went to the mountains to look for wild fruit seeds.
When they passed by Qin Huai’s house, Chi Jia asked them what they were going to do.
“Mr. Chi, we’re going to the mountains to find wild fruit seeds. Do you want to come with us?” Little Ah Yu smiled.
Chi Jia subconsciously turned around and saw his Young Master sitting at a conspicuous place by the stone table. He raised his voice and asked, “Young Master, you’ve been reading for the entire day. You should rest appropriately. Do you want to take a walk in the mountains?”
When Little Ah Yu heard this, she also said happily, “Big Brother Ah You, do you want to come with us?”
Qin Huai actually did not really want to go. The last time he went, not only did he see Chi Jia worshiped by Little Ah Yu, but he also vomited blood. That scene was as bad as it could be.
What if Ah Yu remembered that he had vomited blood on her? Would she think that he was very dirty?
Wang Wulang said, “It’s better not to ask him to go. He can’t even defeat us in the horse stance. His stamina shouldn’t be good either. Let him rest at home.”
“Alright, Big Brother Ah You. Then I’ll go alone. I’ll bring you fruits.” Little Ah Yu looked regretful.
Sigh, could it be that the Myriad Spirit Water did not cure Big Brother Ah You?
Qin Huai placed the book on the table and raised his chin arrogantly, looking like he really didn’t know what to do with you. “I’ll accompany you.”
Little Ah Yu clapped her hands. “That’s great! Big Brother Ah You, let’s go!”
Qin Huai said coldly, “Ok.”
Chi Jia: “...”
...
Young Master, did you realize that you look like a little rooster now?
And it was the kind that wanted to fight.
When the children went to the mountains to look for wild fruits, Grandma Zhou from the county city was also meeting with a few matchmakers.
“We followed your instructions and passed the message down to the villages.”
“According to the current situation, it’s impossible for their Wang Family to find a match in the entire Yongding County. Only those crooked people will barely take a fancy to them.”
“They’re so arrogant. They definitely won’t be blind and deaf to these things. They also don’t have the face to take an old girl in her thirties or forties.”
The matchmakers became more and more excited as they spoke, as if they had completed something important.
Grandma Zhou sneered and said, “Since they dare to offend me, I want their family to have no descendants!”
Without a matchmaker as a guarantor, they could forget about setting up a marriage. They could just raise a house full of old bachelors!

This was the outcome of offending a matchmaker. Moreover, she, Grandma Zhou, was definitely a powerful matchmaker in Yongding County.
“Even with the rumors, it can only affect them for a few years at most. As time passes, I’m afraid the rest can also be discussed,” a matchmaker said. “Speaking of which, even if it only affects them for a few years, we can vent our anger.”
...
Grandma Zhou had also thought of this, but when she thought of the humiliation she had suffered, she could not swallow her anger.
It was impossible to let them off with just a light punishment of being unable to find a match for a few years!
“Doesn’t their family have a little girl? I think she’s a lucky person. I originally wanted to introduce her to a good family. Heh, that old woman doesn’t appreciate it, so don’t blame me.”
The matchmakers looked at each other and roughly understood what Grandma Zhou wanted to do.
“You want to...”
“Hehe, just do as I say...” Grandma Zhou instructed. Then, she said, “If this matter is done, you won’t be short of benefits after this. I can even allocate a few more connections from the villages to you.”
The few immediately smiled even more brightly.
122 Extraordinary Wild Fruit Vines
After Hu Zhengyi and the others discovered the difference in the fields, their attitude towards the Wang Family became even warmer.
Since the Wang Family was so honest, they naturally could not let them down.
Everyone was even more enthusiastic about farming.
Old Madam Wang even selflessly shared her composting skills. When the people in the village saw that the Wang family’s own farms were so good, they were naturally convinced.
Little Ah Yu and the other children had picked a lot of wild fruits from the mountains.
Initially, they thought that they were going to sow the seeds. After Wang Chuanman found out, he said to them, “It’s probably a little late to sow the seeds now. It’s better to directly transplant those fruits and vines over. In another two years, some of the seeds will fall to the ground on their own. There’s no need to take care of them.”
Wild fruits were also propagated like this. Ordinary wild fruits usually took six to seven years to grow.
After the fruits that fell to the ground and rotted, they became seeds. New wild fruit vines would grow around them, forming an endless relationship.
Everyone felt that it made sense, so they ran around and found many vines. As for the fruits they picked, they gave them all to Little Ah Yu.
They filled Little Ah Yu’s small basket to the brim, so happy that her eyes narrowed.
Of course, Ah Yu could not finish so much, so she secretly placed a portion in her spatial pocket and asked the elf to help her keep it.
Although Meatball said that it would take care of it, at night, Little Ah Yu went straight to her spatial pocket and planted half of the fruits.
Looking at the various wild fruits planted on the incomparably precious 10,000-year-old soil, Meatball was already powerless to complain.
The vitality of fruit trees was very exuberant. With a little nutrition, they could grow very tall, let alone growing on the Myriad Spirit Earth.
In the second half of the night, the wild fruit vines in the spatial pocket grew out.
Another day passed. The wild fruit vines were already filled with heavy wild fruits. They were red, yellow, purple, and green, like lanterns.
“Wow! There’s so much!” Little Ah Yu was overjoyed to see so many wild fruits.
This time, without waiting for Little Ah Yu to remind her, Little Ah Yu went straight to look for Liu Shi and told her, “Mother, Ah Yu planted many more wild fruits!”
She opened her palm and a wild fruit appeared.
Liu Shi was frightened and subconsciously wanted to close the door. When she returned, she quickly carried Little Ah Yu and took a few steps into the house.
“Ah Yu, where did it come from?”
Liu Shi was shocked. She roughly knew that this was probably magicked out by Ah Yu again.
“Mother, this is so delicious.” Little Ah Yu did not care and insisted on stuffing the wild fruit into Liu Shi’s mouth.
“Mother doesn’t want it. Ah Y can eat it.” Madam Liu’s heart was in a mess. Her first reaction was to look for her mother-in-law.
Her mother-in-law would definitely be able to handle such matters with ease.
In her panic, she still bit the wild fruit that Ah Yu handed over. After the wild fruit broke apart, a sweet juice flowed between her lips and teeth.
Liu Shi was stunned.
This taste-
The reason why wild fruits were wild fruits and could not become everyone’s daily food was because most of the wild fruits were sour. Even if some of them emitted a pleasant taste, they did not taste good in their mouths.
They could only be treated as food for the children.
There were all kinds of wild fruits everywhere. Some were poisonous, and most of them were very sour. How could they be considered precious?
Only this one was very different.

Liu Shi immediately wanted to spit it out for Little Ah Yu.
Little Ah Yu reached into her pocket and took out two more fruits.
“Look, Ah Yu still has a lot!” Little Ah Yu happily waved the two wild fruits in her hand.
She had already tasted all of them. The wild fruits she picked from the spatial pocket were basically very sweet, and some were sour. However, the sourness was different from the usual ones.
In short, they were all very delicious. Of course, she had to share them with Mother!
Liu Shi’s eyes flickered as she asked Little Ah Yu, “Did you give it to your brothers? Did you give it to Grandma?”
Little Ah Yu shook her head. “I haven’t given it to them yet. I’ll give it to Mother first!”
“Good child, you’re too considerate. Give one to Grandma,” Madam Liu emphasized. “You must give it to Grandma first.”
Little Ah Yu nodded. “Because Grandma is an elder in the family, we have to give it to the elders first, right?”
Little Ah Yu had learned this principle from Old Master Hu. Little Ah Yu followed her brothers to Old Master Hu’s place to learn literature, but Old Master Hu did not teach Little Ah Yu much.
It was mainly because she was too young and was a girl, so his requirements for her were naturally not that high. Still, even if he explained some small principles to her, Little Ah Yu would listen with interest.
“Yes, give it to Grandma first.” Liu Shi thought for a moment and personally brought Little Ah Yu over. It was mainly because she wanted to know her mother-in-law’s attitude.
Old Madam Wang was cleaning the soles of her shoes at home. When she saw the wild fruits Little Ah Yu took out, she could already remain calm.
She was not as flustered as Liu Shi. Instead, she asked Little Ah Yu where the fruits came from, if she had planted it herself, or if she had any special methods to improve it.
“It was the elf who helped plant it together with me. It grew for two days!” Little Ah Yu’s concept of time was very confusing. She only roughly knew that the things planted in the spatial pocket could usually grow out in a day. The things planted in her family’s fields had to wait for many days.
But why was there such a difference? Little Ah Yu did not understand at all.
She didn’t think that everything should be planted in the spatial pocket either. Perhaps her family was like her, only wanting to plant things where they liked.
“That’s right, Grandma. Ah Yu has planted too many vines. It’s almost impossible to store them all. Can we plant them in the fields?”
As Little Ah Yu had been thinking about these wild fruits for the past two days, the illusions in the spatial pocket were filled with wild fruits. Coupled with the fact that the wild fruit vines were reproducing too quickly, and some of them had even grown 60 to 70 feet long, it was especially terrifying.
They were all gathered together in a cramped manner. Not to mention Little Ah Yu, even Meatball felt like it was going a little crazy.
Old Madam Wang asked, “Bring one out for us to see.”
...
Little Ah Yu took the vine out of her spatial pocket. Even though she was mentally prepared, Old Madam Wang was still shocked.

This vine was really too long. It was not the length that this wild fruit could grow!
There were also fruits hanging on it. All of them were frighteningly red.
Liu Shi was extremely nervous and hurriedly said to Old Madam Wang, “Mother, what should we do?”
She was too worried about Ah Yu.
The more strange things appeared on Ah Yu, the more panicked Liu Shi became. She was afraid that the daughter she had painstakingly obtained would have to leave her because she was too extraordinary.
Then she would definitely go crazy!
Old Madam Wang even asked Little Ah Yu, “Are you going to give this to Grandma? But it belongs to you. If you like it, you can pluck and eat it yourself. Just don’t let others see it.”
“Grandma, our family is too poor, so Big Brothers said that they wanted to grow wild fruits to sell. In the future, our family will be rich,” Little Ah Yu said seriously. “Grandma, Ah Yu also wants to help, but other than planting this thing, I don’t have any other abilities.”
In order to express her meaning, Little Ah Yu even moved more than ten vines out of her space. She meant that she would hand them to Old Madam Wang to sell. After selling them for money, their family would have money.
...
123 Divine Rain
Actually, Little Ah Yu could not think so deeply. Meatball had silently taught her from behind.
The Wang Family was too poor. Being poor would cause a family to be very weak, and being weak would make the family even poorer.
It could be said that in this oppressive world, the weak would grow increasingly weaker, and the poor would be poorer. If they did not find an opportunity to rise up, they might remain poor for generations.
Meatball did not pity anyone. It had no emotions to begin with, but now that it wanted to accompany Little Ah Yu, it would do its best to let her live well.
Since Little Ah Yu could only use spatial pocket now, it would let the spatial pocket become the starting point for the Wang Family to become rich.
Meatball had never thought about really letting Little Ah Yu help the Wang Family become rich. Since ancient times, wealth has moved people’s hearts. Who knew if this family looked simple on the surface, but they were evil on the inside?
Therefore, Meatball had been waiting for so long and had been observing Old man Wang’s family.
Not only that, but from time to time, it would listen to the evaluations of the Wang Family and the character of the others in the village through its perception.
Overall, this was a very simple village. Even if the Wang Family suddenly became rich and some people were a little jealous, the envy would pass in the blink of an eye. Most of them were busy managing their own lives.
For everyone to have such a realization, it meant that their hearts were not bad.
Therefore, Meatball felt that after the inspection, it could really let Little Ah Yu display her abilities.
Now, Old Madam Wang and Madam Liu’s favorability towards Little Ah Yu had already exceeded 90. In other words, these two people were people that Little Ah Yu could definitely trust so far.
“Grandma, I hope that all the brothers in the family can learn literature and martial arts whenever they want. I also hope that Grandpa and the others can rest more. You can rest more and not work so hard every day.” Little Ah Yu’s two little index fingers poked each other, looking uneasy. “Did Ah Yu do something wrong?”
She was too young and did not understand the ways of the world at all. She relied on her family to teach her slowly and she relied on herself to understand things.
Therefore, she could not determine if what she had done was right or wrong.
“No, Ah Yu, you did very well.” Old Madam Wang was someone who did not easily reveal her feelings. Usually, when everyone saw her anxious appearance, they were not very angry.
And now, she was really touched by this little child.
She was just a four-year-old child. She was still young, but she always thought for the family.
Liu Shi had already turned her head away and was sobbing.
This was her Ah Yu. How could she bear to lose such a daughter?
She would have to protect her with her life!
“Ah Yu, this thing you gave us is very good. It’s very helpful to our family. Don’t worry, Grandma will handle it well and definitely won’t let you down.” The children had already worked hard to this extent. As elders, were they really going to wait for Ah Yu to raise them?
Old Madam Wang and the others hugged and kissed Ah Yu before coaxing the child to go out and play.
The house was filled with wild fruit vines, making it impossible for them to leave.
It was as if he had returned to the time when Little Ah Yu took out the soybean vine.
Old Madam Wang said, “Swap out the wild fruit vines that those brats grew. Don’t do it during the day lest others see you.”
Liu Shi: “Mother, I’ll listen to you.”
In the evening, after the family finished eating, Old Madam Wang entered the house to rest.
As for Old man Wang, he was still lying side by side with Wang Chuangui. It was not convenient for Madam Ma to be in the same room as her father-in-law. During this period of time, she had been sleeping on the floor in the children’s small room.Please visit 𝗳re𝐞𝓌e𝚋n૦ѵ𝗲l. co𝐦
No one dared to stay in Old Madam Wang’s room. Even if Old Madam Wang agreed to let them, only Little Ah Yu would go happily sometimes.
After all, Old Madam Wang had accumulated too much authority. Everyone was afraid of her.
That night, it suddenly rained and everyone fell asleep. Liu Shi suddenly sat up from the bed.
Wang Chuanman was frightened and rolled off the bed.
When he got up, he saw Madam Liu lying on the bed without moving at all.
“Wifey? Wifey?” Wang Chuan called out to Liu Shi in a panic.
Liu Shi pretended not to hear.
Lightning suddenly passed outside, and from time to time, white light came from the crack in the door.
Originally, Wang Chuanman was quite bold, but after being frightened just now, his heart was still thumping.
This time, Wang Chuanman was even more afraid.
“Husband, why are you on the ground?” Liu Shi looked like she had yet to wake up. Her voice was buzzing. “Come up quickly. It’s so cold.”
Wang Chuanman hurriedly climbed into bed and crawled under the covers, not daring to move.
After a while, something suddenly seemed to be knocking on the door outside. Madam Liu did not move. Wang Chuanman quietly stuck his head out, feeling that he had seen an afterimage.
“I didn’t see anything, I didn’t see anything...” Wang Chuanman muttered softly and couldn’t help but lean closer to Liu Shi.
Perhaps it was because his wife’s warmth had comforted him, but after being highly nervous, Wang Chuanman still slowly fell asleep.
When Wang Chuanman’s snores gradually became even, Liu Shi slowly stood up and put on her clothes. She covered the father and daughter pair with a blanket and quietly opened the door a crack to squeeze out.
Outside the door, Old Madam Wang had already put on her straw raincoat.
“The rain tonight arrived just in time,” Old Madam Wang said as she handed the basket in her hand to Madam Liu.
Beside her was a basket filled with wild fruit vines.
They were going to replace those wild fruit vines tonight.
“Mother, let me carry the basket. The roads are slippery on a rainy day. Don’t fall and hurt yourself.” Liu Shi lowered her voice.
“Do your own thing and don’t care about me.” With that, Old Madam Wang bent down, picked up the basket, and walked out.
Although it was a spring rain, in the night, it was quite violent and noisy, so the others from the Wang Family did not hear them at all.
Then, with the occasional lightning, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair slowly approached the mountainous area. Then, they casually dug out some wild fruit vines and replaced them with the ones Little Ah Yu had given them.
...
In order not to be too conspicuous, they even went to the village entrance and swapped out two or three other ordinary wild fruit vines. From the looks of it, it would seem that although the wild fruit vines in Old Wang’s land were strange, they were not the only ones.
Old Madam Wang made up her mind to hide Ah Yu’s identity.

Therefore, the next day, she got Ah Yu to give her a ladle of Myriad Spirit Water. At this moment, she could not care less about her heartache. She poured it all into the dung bucket and mixed it into two buckets of water. In the middle of the night, she brought Liu Shi along and the two of them randomly watered the village’s fields.
The heavy rain lasted for two to three days, and no one could go out. Fortunately, the previous grain seeds had already been planted. Instead, they were very happy that the spring rain came in time.
On the day the rain stopped, everyone could not wait to go to the fields to take a look, afraid that the crops would be ruined by the rain. Some of them would fall and have to be propped up.
At this moment, Widow Zhou, who was walking at the front, saw a sapling half the height of a person appear in her field.
“Which damned person planted a tree in my family’s land?! Is he lacking in morals!”
Soon, another villager made a new discovery.
“Aiya, isn’t this a red fruit? Why has it become so big? Oh my god!”
“The lettuce in my family’s field has grown so big that it can be eaten!”
“I’m afraid this was divine rain!”
...
124 We’re Going to Be Rich
The Wang family still did not know that the villagers were checking the fields. It was mainly because Old Madam Wang had suddenly fallen sick. It was not really an illness, but that one morning, she suddenly could not get up and said that her back was sore.
Old man Wang was anxious. He could not care less about hiding the matter of his leg and walked out of Wang Chuangui’s room.
“Old woman, how are you? Are you feeling unwell? Tell me, I’ll get Doctor Hu for you later!”
Old Wang walked to Old Madam Wang’s bed. If not for the fact that his son and wife were all present, he would have lifted the blanket and take a good look at what was wrong.
This was not because Old man Wang was making a mountain out of a molehill, but because Old Madam Wang had always been in good health and basically would not fall sick. This time, she suddenly said that her back was sore. How could everyone not be anxious?
Actually, it had been a long time since Old Madam Wang had done such arduous work. She had to work in the dark at night and walk around in the muddy ground.
In order to hide the evidence at night, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair even washed their clothes in the rain.
“What can happen to me? You’re just waiting for something to happen to me, right?” Old Madam Wang said angrily, “Why did you get up? You don’t want your leg anymore and want it to be broken again?! And all of you, why are you standing here instead of working? Are you trying to take the opportunity to be lazy? Don’t think that I can’t get up from the bed. I still have the strength to hit you!”
The boys were originally very worried, mainly because their mother rarely fell sick. In their memory, their mother had never fallen sick.
Now that she was lying down, how could they not be anxious?
In the end, when they saw that their mother could still curse loudly, the worry in their hearts fell.
It was good that she could still scold them. If she could scold them, it meant that it was nothing serious.
Wang Chuanfu called out to his younger brothers. “Alright, Mother. We’ll get back to work first. Call us if there’s anything.”
Madam Feng said, “Go out and do your work. We’ll stay and guard Mother.”
“What’s there to guard? I’m not a three-year-old baby. Go and play on your own. Don’t disturb me in front of me. My illness will recover faster than anything!”
After everyone left, Old Madam Wang stopped Liu Shi.
“Why are you leaving? Stay here. I still need someone to serve me!”
She was just tired and wanted to rest. Not to mention that she was already 50 years old, even if she was a 20-year-old girl, she would be exhausted if she did not sleep and worked for two nights in a row.
Liu Shi was actually also tired, but she still insisted on working. This was not good. If both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were lying on the bed, wouldn’t it arouse suspicion?
After these people left, Little Ah Yu came in with two glasses of water.
“Grandma, Mother, drink some water. You won’t be tired after drinking it!” Actually, the Myriad Spirit Water could only make people less tired, but it could not eliminate fatigue. After all, it only healed a person’s vitality. Just because the body was tired did not mean that replenishing vitality was not good. It was still beneficial.
This time, the two of them did not refuse and drank the water. Little Ah Yu was also very happy to see this.
“Grandma, Big Brother Ah You’s birthday is tomorrow. I asked Fifth Brother. He said that he’s one year older and we have to give gifts on his birthday, but Ah Yu doesn’t have any gifts.” Little Ah Yu actually didn’t want to disturb Grandma and Mother anymore because she saw that they were so tired, but she didn’t know who to ask.
Old Madam Wang: “Qin Huai is celebrating his birthday? How did you know?”
“Mr. Chi said it. I heard him ask Big Brother Ah You.” Little Ah Yu pointed at her ear and was especially proud. “Ah Yu can hear very far!”
Old Madam Wang pondered. “Since he’s already here, he can be considered half a Hu Family Villager. We have to express our gratitude.”
Liu Shi said, “His elders aren’t here either. Then I’ll make him a bowl of longevity noodles tomorrow. Take it as our blessing.”

“That’s good too. There’s no need to send him other things.” The longevity noodles had to be made with white flour. Their family didn’t have much white flour left, so they could probably make a bowl.
Little Ah Yu saw that her Grandma and Mother had discussed what gift to bring, but she had not decided on her gift.
“What is Ah Yu giving? Ah Yu also wants to give Big Brother Ah You a gift!” Little Ah Yu was so anxious that she jumped.
Old Madam Wang said, “You can play with him tomorrow. You’re still young, so there’s no need to give him any gifts.”
What could a child give anyway?
“No, Ah Yu accompanies Big Brother Ah You every day. This can’t be treated as a gift. Ah Yu wants to give him a new gift.” Little Ah Yu stroked her chin and imitated Old Master Hu’s usual thinking as she racked her brains for a solution.
What should she give?
At this moment, the people from Hu Family Village were not calm at all, especially the brothers who had just left the Wang Family. When they heard the commotion in the village, they thought that something had happened again.
In the end, they realized that some plants in the village seemed to have mutated.
“Wang, you came at the right time. Come and take a look. Your things on your land has also mutated. What’s going on!” Hu Zhengyi saw Wang Chuanfu and the others and hurriedly pulled them to the field where the children were farming.
“Look, these wild fruit vines have gone crazy. There are only a few stalks, but they’ve filled the entire land! Also, look at the fruits on them. All of them seem to be larger than regular wild fruits.”
Wang Chuanyuan subconsciously asked, “What does that taste like? Have you tried it?”
That person looked embarrassed. “Isn’t this your family’s land? How can we have the cheek to try it?”
Most importantly, they had never seen this kind of fruit before. Who knew if it was poisonous? It would not be worth it if they were poisoned to death.
Even if they were not poisonous, if they did not taste good, they would be too embarrassed to spit it out in front of so many people. After all, it was planted painstakingly by the children.
If it was delicious, it would be even more difficult. There were many people present. If it was delicious, each person would pluck one and taste it. What would be left?
Everyone simply decided not to try the fruits and waited for the Wang Family to come. In the end, after waiting for a long time, the men finally arrived. Everyone could not wait to see them try the fruits.
Wang Chuanyuan was the same as his wife. They both liked to eat. He didn’t care about anything else. He walked to the front, pulled out a red fruit, and threw it into his mouth.

“Oh, this taste is even more delicious than I imagined. It’s so sweet. What species is it? I’ve never seen it before!”
Wang Chuan smacked his lips and went to pluck the second one. In the end, Wang Chuanfu stopped him, slapping the back of his hand.
“Alright, stop acting like a child. Why are you eating so much? Just give it a try.” Wang Chuanfu took the opportunity to educate his younger brother.
However, the Wang family still did not know what had happened. They had not come to supervise the children planting wild fruits before, so they naturally did not know what these wild fruit vines were like originally.
It was only when the grandchildren of the Wang Family arrived that they realized that these wild fruits and vines were not very big when they were planted. They did not expect them to become like this after two days of rain.
“Looks like it’s really divine rain. Many people’s crops in the village have changed, especially the land in your mountainous area. It has changed the most. One look and I can tell that this fruit is very different!”
“The Wang Family is still the luckiest!”
Wang Wulang and the others thought of another aspect.
...
“Wow, we’re going to be rich!”
125 Come to Eat
Actually, it was not only the wild fruit vines that had grown. Many other crops had also grown drastically.
There were three or four stalks of millet in the village chief’s house, but they actually grew to the height of half a person. Logically speaking, they should only be small seedlings at this time.
“A miracle!”
“This is definitely divine rain!”
Some people did not believe it and ran out of the village to take a look, but they realized that there were also a few wild fruit vines that looked different from those in the forest.
“How strange. How did this happen?”
Someone immediately said, “I’ll go to the other villages to see if there’s such a change.”
Old Master Hu stomped his walking stick lightly on the ground.
“Stop right there.”
The villager was a little puzzled. “Old Master, what’s wrong?”
“What will you say if you go to other villages and discover that their crops have also changed? If there’s no such change, what will you say?” Old Master Hu’s tone was deep as his gaze gradually moved from the villager to the others. “And you, think about it. If this only happens in our village, what will you say to the people from the other villages?”
Only then did the villagers realize that they had to face this problem before they could recover from their excitement.
It would be best if other villages experienced the same thing too. But what if the other villages didn’t have it?
Moreover, they vaguely felt that the other villages definitely wouldn’t have the same phenomenon. Looking at their own village. Not every family experienced the changes too.
For example, the crops in Third Aunt Hu’s land had not changed at all. Third Aunt Hu was still angry.
“Then what should we do?”
“Perhaps Bodhisattva saw that our village was too poor and specially blessed us.”
Someone snorted and dampened everyone’s spirits. “Come on, our village has been poor for so many years, but I’ve never seen any Bodhisattva pity us.”
“Perhaps he was passing by...”
The villagers could not think of a reason and could only think of all kinds of strange forces.
Moreover, with Old Master Hu’s reminder, they had no intention of going to other villages.
Unless there was such a thing in other villages and they mentioned it first.
After what happened in Shanyang Village, the people of Hu Family Village no longer trusted the other villages that much.
As divine rain was too sensational a matter, the Wang family did not seem so outstanding.
This was especially true for the Wang Family’s mountainous land. It could be said that the divine rain had provided the most nourishments to that land. However, those were wild fruits that looked good but were useless. They did not seem to be as good as grain crops.
When Little Ah Yu came out and saw that the ground was already filled with wild fruit vines, her eyes lit up.
Wow, Grandma really had a way!
Now, no one knew that these wild fruit vines were actually planted by Little Ah Yu!
Meatball was also extremely impressed. It knew that Old Madam Wang and Liu Shi had gone out.
When it rained at night, it was still worried that something would happen to the two of them. It deliberately used its energy to follow the two of them, afraid that no one would know if they fell.
[Your grandmother and mother are both good people. You have to treat them well.]
Meatball took the opportunity to educate Little Ah Yu about the concept of gratitude so that she would understand the efforts of her family.
“Yes, yes, yes. Ah Yu will treat Mother and Grandma well.”
Little Ah Yu liked her mother and grandmother very much.
Now, Little Ah Yu went to her brothers and asked happily, “Are we going to sell these fruits?”
Wang Liulang and Wang Qilang took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and secretly pulled out two fruits. They ate them. They were really sweet!
And it was even better than directly eating candy.
“Can’t we eat it ourselves?” Wang Liulang patted his stomach. “If I can eat this fruit everyday, I’ll eat one meal a day.”
During the farming season, farmers usually only ate two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.
Now, the farming work is over. Everyone wanted to continue eating two meals a day, but Old Madam Wang still asked the women to cook three meals. It was mainly because the children at home had begun to learn martial arts and their bodies could not be undernourished.
Wang Qilang also said, “I... I can eat one meal every two days!”
He could directly eat such sweet fruits until he was full!
In the past, the fruits were only the size of a thumb. Now that the fruit was much larger, it was beautiful and delicious. He felt that it was much better than coarse rice.
Moreover, there was usually very little coarse rice. It was basically vegetables and porridge. The rice grains in the bowl could even be counted clearly. Instead, the amount of vegetables was enough to fill their bowls.
The vegetables planted at home had yet to fully grow, so the vegetable porridge now was filled with wild vegetables.
Most of the wild vegetables were bitter and did not taste good.
Old Madam Wang waved her hand. “This land is yours. You can decide how to deal with it. We don’t care.”
This was also what Old Madam Wang had agreed on back then. It was impossible for her to say that she would take over the field now that the situation was different.
Even if Old Madam Wang knew why these lands had changed.
The other children in the village were extremely envious. The Wang family was really good to their children!
They also wanted to be the grandson of the Wang Family’s grandmother.
With so many fruits, they looked very delicious. There was no need to work so hard to scavenge and roast bugs to eat.
Old Master Hu saw that the masses were still discussing the matters in the fields. Everyone’s knowledge was limited, and they could not think of much. In the end, they had to let him come up with ideas.
...
Old Master Hu simply called Wang Erlang over and said to him, “Erlang, tell me, what should we do in this situation?”
In the past few days, Old Master Hu had begun to arrange for the children in the village to learn reading and writing. Sometimes, he would teach them about history and some principles.
Most of the children could not stand it anymore. Only Wang Erlang liked to listen the most. Every time, he would listen very excitedly, so Old Master Hu also liked Wang Erlang very much.
Wang Erlang thought for a moment and said, “With these changes, it means that the fortune of our village has improved. Everyone can do things the same way as before. There’s no need to specially adjust it.”
The main thing was that although these changes looked shocking, the quantity was not much.
After all, the water that Old Madam Wang had mixed had already been diluted. Coupled with the rain, the surrounding soil was also stained.
Gradually, the watered land would become better.
However, this change would not be obvious for the time being.
Someone asked, “Then are we going to leave it alone?”
“We can observe and see if those lands will change in the future.” Wang Erlang could not think of anything else.
However, the others could not think of a good solution.
...
Other than the grandchildren of the Wang Family, who were discussing how to use that land, they wanted to do business!
In the end, everyone could only follow Wang Erlang’s instructions and continue observing for the time being.
When everyone dispersed, Old Madam Wang saw Qin Huai outside the crowd and waved at him.
“Child, come here.”

Qin Huai was quite respectful to Old Madam Wang.
He felt that although Old Madam Wang’s actions sometimes seemed a little rude, she was an intelligent person. At least from his gaze, Old Madam Wang was the backbone of the Wang family.
“Grandma, you called me?” Qin Huai walked over and asked.
“Good child, come to our house for lunch today.” Old Madam Wang smiled.
Little Ah Yu suddenly remembered that Big Brother Ah You’s birthday had arrived. It seemed to be yesterday!
However, it had been raining heavily for the past two days and no one had gone out. Grandma and the others had forgotten about it, and so had she!
Oh no, it’s bad!
Her little gift had yet to be given out!
“Big Brother Ah You, come to our house for dinner. Second Auntie is cooking today. The food she cooks is delicious!”
Liu Shi said faintly from behind, “Does Mother’s cooking not taste good?”
