70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 360: Farewell to Shen Qi

"I’m not picky. I’ll eat anything." Yin Yang said with a smile. Even if he didn’t like something, he wouldn’t say anything, much less show it.

"You’re easy to take care of." Xu Mumu patted Yin Yang on the shoulder.

On the way back, a few kids saw what Xu Mumu and the others had gathered, and their eyes widened in surprise. It was Madam Chen who instructed her two daughters-in-law to handle the wild chicken.

At noon, they enjoyed a delightful chicken soup and a pot of chicken with potatoes. Although not much was distributed into each person’s bowl, Xu Mumu was still very happy.

In the afternoon, Xu Mumu noticed that Xu Xue was back to her old trade, hiding in the kitchen of the second house making pastries. The aroma wafted into the noses of the children who were attending class.

Fortunately, Xu Xue brought over a plate, which finally allowed the children to focus on their studies.

Xu Mumu didn’t bother to care about what Xu Xue was thinking. If she wanted to earn money, she should just go ahead and do it.

With Yin Yang teaching the kids, Xu Mumu suddenly found herself at leisure.

On the third morning, Xu Mumu and Yin Yang got up, had breakfast, and headed to the Greenhorns’ place because Shen Qi was leaving today. Although they weren’t all that close, the two still planned to see him off.

Shen Qi didn’t expect Yin Yang and the others to come to send him off and was quite moved.

"Why did you come to see us off?" Shen Qi looked at the two, touched.

"We didn’t have anything else to do anyway. Once we go back, we might not see each other again." Yin Yang said calmly. Although he had had some conflicts with Shen Qi and the others during his years at the Greenhorns’ spot, he had let go of all that now; he was just here to say goodbye.

Shen Qi twitched a corner of his mouth but didn’t mind Yin Yang’s straightforward words. He was still happy to chat with Xu Mumu and the others for a while before leaving with his partner from the Red River Team.

As they left, they kept looking back, realizing they wouldn’t return here anymore. After all, they had lived here for years, and it was hard to let go.

"Let’s go. Today I’ll take you to look at the cliff over there." Xu Mumu said with a smile, then put a straw hat on top of Yin Yang’s head.

"Alright." Yin Yang smiled and nodded. The two chatted and laughed all the way toward the mountain.

Those who had gone early to gather wild vegetables on the mountain were already coming down with their baskets.

"Mumu, are you going up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables too?" Mrs. Yu laughed, seeing Xu Mumu with a vegetable basket.

"Yes, Mrs. Yu. You had quite a harvest!" Xu Mumu laughed. Mrs. Yu’s basket was full, enough to feed a whole family for a day.

After the rain a few days ago, the wild vegetables on the mountain had grown well and sprouted up after the rain. They were quite tender.

"We got lucky. There are more wild vegetables on the West Mountain and some mushrooms too. You should head over there." Mrs. Yu warmly recommended to Xu Mumu where to find wild vegetables and mushrooms.

"Got it, thank you, Mrs. Yu." Xu Mumu said with a smile.

"It’s getting late, so you’d better hurry up before the heat sets in." Mrs. Yu waved at Xu Mumu.

After watching Mrs. Yu leave, Xu Mumu and Yin Yang set off again. Gathering wild vegetables was just an additional task. Their home’s private plot had enough to eat. This trip to the mountain was mainly to take Yin Yang to the cliff side.

As they headed toward the mountain, they encountered more people from the team. The closer to the team’s area, the more thoroughly the wild vegetables had been picked over. The older ones were all that’s left, the tender ones were long gone. To find tender wild vegetables, they would need to go further.

However, the further they ventured into the mountain, the more dangerous it became. To go further, it was best to have more people and to bring sickles and such.

The cliff side was already considered quite a distance away.

After walking for more than an hour, they finally reached the area, which was empty today.

"This path is really hidden." Yin Yang marveled at the concealed path, realizing there was such a good hiding place on the mountain.

Following the stairs, they arrived at the cave, which was a little disordered, indicating many people had been here searching.

The cave was located halfway up the mountain but was quite spacious inside.

"Someone even brought things to hide here. Those people are quite bold." Yin Yang looked at a bag of corn tucked into a corner behind some rocks, twitching a corner of his mouth. They weren’t worried about animals coming here to eat it or others discovering it and taking it away.

"It must be from those people a few days ago. It’s surprising they hid their food here. It is quite safe, but this cave is probably known to more than just a few people, so it’s not entirely secure to leave it here." Xu Mumu said calmly.

"Indeed, while it hasn’t spread in the countryside, many people in the county know about it. Just a bit of inquiry and they’d find out about this cave." Yin Yang nodded.

"Tsk, they’ve even moved a few stones in here. Do you think someone is planning to move in here?" Xu Mumu looked at Yin Yang, a thought surfacing in her mind.

"That’s unlikely. It’s too dangerous here. Who would think of living here? Even living in a cowshed down the mountain would be safer." Yin Yang shook his head. The mountain was rich with snakes, and larger animals wouldn’t avoid this place. Xu Mumu must have read too many absurd novels.

"True." Xu Mumu nodded and didn’t say more.

There wasn’t much to see in the cave, so after a tour, they headed up the mountain. With the return journey still far, they decided to head back instead of traveling in the harsh sun.

Upon reaching the mountain top, looking down at the cliff was quite terrifying.

"Let’s go. It’s dangerous here. Let’s head back." Yin Yang pulled Xu Mumu, who was leaning over the cliff, away. The cliffs were too risky, and a slip could be disastrous.

Xu Mumu nodded, and they headed down the mountain, stopping to pick edible wild vegetables along the way and finding a wild chicken and a few wild eggs by good fortune.

Upon returning home, the sun was scorching. Even with the straw hat, Xu Mumu was overheated, feeling as if she had just taken a sauna.

"Sis, why did it take you so long to get back?" Xu Minglei brought over a basin of warm water for the two. They had been under the sun for so long, and he didn’t dare let them wash with cold water immediately. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"We went over to check out the cliff. There are quite a few mushrooms over there." Xu Mumu said calmly while wiping her face. If she hadn’t worn the straw hat, her face would likely have been sunburnt by now.

"Then let’s check it out tomorrow too." Hearing about mushrooms, the kids immediately lit up with interest, always eager about things that could earn money.

"No going there alone. There are large animals that come and go." Xu Mumu warned the excited kids with a glance.
