Hearing they were going to work, they did bring down the better farming tools from their home. Saying "better" was relative, as they were still quite worn. But compared to the others at home, a chipped sickle and a shovel with holes were the best. The Zhao brothers were all tall and sturdy men, each carrying farming tools, giving off a sense of imposing presence. U Xue, held…

      by Volare When Xu Youfang and Shen Gui brought Shen Yan and her son home, it was already afternoon. Ling Xing and Shen Hui had already gone into the mountains to find herbs. Because Ling Xing was with him, Shen Hui didn't go to the dangerous places to check the traps this time. He directly took Ling Xing to a place with banana leaves. Ling Xing felt that the temperature here was higher than down the mountain, very warm, and the faint smell of sulfur floated in the air. "Is there a hot spring here?" Ling…

      by Volare Chapter 58: The Zhao Family On the way to set up the stall, Ling Xing told Shen Hui about teaching Shen Lai to identify medicinal herbs. Shen Hui readily agreed, "Alright, I need to go up the mountain to collect banana leaves today anyway, I'll gather some of the medicinal herbs we've used before while I'm at it." "I'll go with you."

      by Volare Chapter 56: A Three-in-One Chu Tiand didn't care at all about Sun Shuiye's disdain. His somewhat chubby face wore a look of sadness as he clung tightly to the green bricks on the Zhu family's wall. "Auntie, I'm not a beggar. My father married a new wife and has a new son, so he doesn't want me anymore. I came to Xiao Liucun to seek refuge with my mother." Sun Shuiye, being a mother herself, couldn't bear to hear such things, and her attitude softened considerably. "Who is your mother? I'll take you to find…
