Xia Xiaochan naturally did not know about the conversation between the three. Even if she did, she did not care. After Lady Faang said that, Xia Xiaochan was starving. The sky was vast and the earth was vast. She had to get something to eat as soon as possible.

Actually, Xia Xiaochan had already guessed that she wouldn't be able to eat anything good when she returned home, but she didn't expect that Lady Faang would leave her nothing for her. Lady Faang's apathy allowed Xia Xiaochan to experience things once again.

Of course, this was not a bad thing. Let Xia Xiaohong see more of Lady Faang's apathy. As time passed, it would wear down Xia Xiaohong's kinship. In the future, Sister Xiaohong could treat herself better.

After walking for a while, Little Fool walked over and grabbed Xia Xiaochan's hand. "Hungry, hungry, so hungry!"

Xia Xiaohong's stomach rumbled as well. Xia Xiaohong had only drunk the bowl of porridge left behind by Lady Faang in the morning, she hadn't had enough to eat.

Seeing Xia Xiaohong looking over, Xia Xiaochan said, "Sis, let's go get something to eat."

As he spoke, he led his men towards the western mountains.

Seeing that they were walking towards the west mountain, Xia Xiaohong was stunned for a moment. "Sister, the west mountain is just a large piece of sandy soil. There's only some firewood on it, so there's nothing to eat."

Xia Xiaochan smiled mysteriously and said, "Sis, come with me."

As they were hungry, the group walked quickly.

When they got to the sand, Xia Xiaochan instructed Xia Xiaohong and Little Fool to gather firewood nearby while she searched for wild herbs and began to dig.

The mountain medicine here was all wild and there was no one digging around. Very quickly, she dug up a large amount of mountain medicine.

When Xia Xiaohong returned with the firewood, she was surprised to see the yam on the ground. "Little sister, you can't eat this kind of thing. The liquid on top can make people itch when it touches their hands."

Xia Xiaochan said, "Sis, don't worry. This is edible. These kinds of plants are called yam. They can be cooked thoroughly, and once the skin is peeled off, it will be old." "I saw this in a travel book. I've also asked the doctors in the town. It's definitely reliable."

Xia Xiaohong let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that she had consulted a doctor.

Xia Xiaochan then set the firewood on a fire. She took a paper roll and lit the firewood. Once she had the firewood ashes, she buried the yam under the firewood ashes and burned it.

Little Fool looked at the firewood with a wistful look on his face. He didn't even move his eyes, making Xia Xiaochan secretly laugh.

Fortunately, the potion was cooked quickly, and soon, a burst of fragrance wafted over.

Xia Xiaochan took out a dry firewood stick and fished through the ashes. Soon, a long stalk of mountain medicine appeared in front of her. On the surface of the mountain medicine, there was a small guoba.

"It smells so good!"

Xia Xiaochan passed a piece of yam to Xia Xiaohong and Little Fool, saying, "Skin it and eat it."

She took a bite out of the yam herself.

Xia Xiaochan's actions made Little Fool, who was standing to the side, stare blankly and almost drooled. Seeing the eager look on his face, Xia Xiaochan found it hilarious and couldn't help but giggle.

To one side, Xia Xiaohong was finally able to eat some yam. After eating some, her eyes suddenly flickered and she couldn't help but say, "Little sister, it's so delicious, it's too delicious."

Every day, Xia Xiaohong would eat rice that looked like rice soup. It was rare for her to have such a firm taste. Looking at the yam that was all over the ground, Xia Xiaohong felt like crying.

Xia Xiaohong said, "Little sister, let's dig up more yam in a while and head back. When we return, Mother will definitely not scold us anymore. We will also have food to eat."

Xia Xiaochan, who was happily eating, froze upon hearing these words.

Xia Xiaochan said, "Sis, you..." Are you sure you want to do this? "

Seeing that Xia Xiaochan's expression was slightly stiff, Xia Xiaohong's eyes flickered. After a moment, she steeled her heart and said, "Sister, we're a family. I can't tell them about my meal even though I already know about it."

Xia Xiaochan smiled and said, "Sis, can you wait until we dig out more yams to store before you tell Mom about this?"

Xia Xiaohong was stunned for a moment. "Why?"

"Little Fool didn't have anything to eat. I want to save some for him, what else can he do if he doesn't have anything to eat during the winter?"

Xia Xiaohong nodded and said, "Alright then, sister. I will dig with you in the afternoon. After we dig some more and bring it back to Little Fool's home, we can go and tell mother."

Seeing the excited look on Xia Xiaohong's face, Xia Xiaochan felt bitter in her heart.

Xia Xiaochan could never have imagined that her sister, who had just been at a disadvantage, would pay attention to her family whenever something good happened.

What was his sister thinking? You want to curry favor with your family so that you can raise your family's position?

As if she saw Xia Xiaochan's disappointment, Xia Xiaohong paused for a moment before saying, "Little sister, I'm begging you. Let me tell mother about this news." I'm just a broken shoe in her eyes right now, and I don't have anything. If I don't contribute to the family anymore, I'm afraid my mother will chase me away. "

Xia Xiaochan went silent for a moment before nodding. "Okay, but sister, you must know something. Once this matter is known by our family, I'm afraid that Xia Mingzhu, in order to show her kindness, will definitely tell this matter to others. When the time comes, everyone will come to dig up some yam. When we are hungry, there will be no more food to eat."

Xia Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, but still said, "Little sister, Little Sister Ming Zhu would not do that. She would not tell anyone in order to have a full meal at home. "Little sister, only when mother has us in her heart will we live a good life at home. In the future, we will have a good life."

Xia Xiaochan had never expected such a happy meal to actually lead to such a thing.

Actually, it wasn't wrong for Xia Xiaohong to improve her family's status through food. What she was wrong about was that she didn't clearly see her family's status.

To put it bluntly, this sister of hers had a tough life in her previous life, but she wasn't without reason. Who said that her brain wasn't very smart?

Thinking up to here, Xia Xiaochan secretly rejoiced that she did not tell Xia Xiaohong about the silver. If she did not leave him with a way out, he was afraid that she would be hurt by her family at the most crucial moment and would not know it.

Because of what Xia Xiaohong had said, Xia Xiaochan didn't say anything else. In the afternoon, the three of them started to dig up some yams.

Xia Xiaohong was in a good mood when the yams were taken out of the sand one by one and put into the basket.

Xia Xiaohong said, "Sister, sister, I only need to eat one mountain medicine per meal. There is such a big mountain here, and it is densely packed, and they are all mountain medicine. As long as our family sneaks back, we can eat them for a long time, and we won't have to worry about starving anymore."

Xia Xiaochan had a faint smile on her face as she sighed in her heart. Sister Xiaohong still wanted to eat one yam per meal? If the secret of the mountain medicine was discovered, he would not be able to eat even a single piece of the mountain medicine.
