Yu Xiaolian drank a bowl of porridge and put down her bowl and chopsticks. Although it was called a bowl of porridge, it was actually a bowl of rice soup.

Madam Sun glanced at her and said indifferently, “Eat more. There’s no more dinner tonight.”

Yu Xiaolian nodded. “Mother, I’m full.”

Madam Sun poured the rice soup in the basin into her bowl and the rest into Yu Changhe’s bowl. “How’s the stove?”

“The clay is ready. It’ll be under the sun for a day today. We can build the base tomorrow morning. We guarantee that we’ll finish it in the afternoon. Tomorrow, you can go to town and buy the pot. Just install it.”

Yu Changhe wanted to give Madam Sun some porridge, but Madam Sun avoided him.

“Eat more, I’m not hungry!”

After Madam Sun finished speaking, she finished the rice soup in her bowl in one gulp. “Since Mother said that the crops in the fields don’t belong to us, I won’t help in the fields when they harvest in the autumn. I’ll go to town tomorrow to buy a pot and bring back some embroidery threads.”

Yu Changhe knew that Madam Sun was planning to do some embroidery work to earn money. Madam Sun’s embroidery skills were not bad, but embroidery work was very tiring for the eyes and the salary was low.

If it was in the past, Yu Changhe would definitely not agree to let Madam Sun suffer like this. But now, he didn’t seem to be able to say that she shouldn’t do it.

Yu Xiaolian looked at Madam Sun. “Mother, I’ll go with you tomorrow. I can help you carry your things.”

Madam Sun thought for a moment and nodded. “We just split up. Our family is indeed lacking a lot of things, but the money we have… Although it’s not enough to buy everything, I definitely won’t be able to carry the things back alone. You can follow me.”

When she lay in bed at night, Yu Xiaolian thought about the Yu family in her mind and began to think.

In the book, Yu Xiaolian was the descendant of the leader of the witch race, but she didn’t know her true identity until her death.

After Yu Changhe’s inexplicable death, Yu Xiaolian was sold by Old Madam Yu.

The buyer was the male lead, the Prince of Huainan, Jun Mobai.

In order to cure the cold illness of his sweetheart, Yu Yanran, Jun Mobai searched for the whereabouts of the mysterious witch.

Legend had it that the Witch race was not afraid of cold or poison because their blood was different from ordinary people.

It was rumored that the pure blood of the descendants of the Witch race could cure all poisons.

In order to successfully buy Yu Xiaolian, Jun Mobai sent someone to secretly kill Yu Changhe. He knew that as long as Yu Changhe died, no one would protect Yu Xiaolian anymore.

Later on, in order to make Yu Xiaolian willingly become the antidote for Yu Yanran for a long time, Jun Mobai took Yu Xiaolian as his concubine.

It also gave Yu Xiaolian, this poor little girl, the wealth she dreamed of.

After Yu Xiaolian gained power, how could she let go of the Yu family who had bullied her?

Apart from Madam Sun, who was already half crazy and half stupid and mercifully sent to a nunnery by Yu Xiaolian, everyone else in the Yu family had an incomparably miserable ending.

Although she was a concubine, Jun Mobai didn’t plan to dote on Yu Xiaolian. The purpose of Yu Xiaolian’s existence was to give Yu Yanran a bowl of warm blood when her cold illness acted up.

Yu Xiaolian’s blood was not as good as Jun Mobai had thought. It couldn’t cure Yu Yanran’s cold illness, but it did have a relief effect.

For Yu Yanran’s illness, Jun Mobai had no choice but to endure Yu Xiaolian’s pestering and threats for a long time. Later, when Yu Xiaolian threatened him with her life, Jun Mobai was forced to dote on Yu Xiaolian.

After being a concubine for a long time, Yu Xiaolian was used to Jun Mobai doting on Yu Yanran. She began to hate Jun Mobai because of love.

However, she couldn’t bear to hurt Jun Mobai, so she secretly added a violent poison to the antidote for Yu Yanran, causing Yu Yanran to vomit blood and her life to be on the line.

Then, it was very dramatic. Yu Yanran’s cold illness miraculously recovered because of Yu Xiaolian’s poison.

Since Yu Yanran was the female lead, the cannon fodder supporting actress naturally had to receive her retribution.

However, because her blood had the special characteristic of detoxification, Jun Mobai didn’t want to waste such a good antidote. Therefore, the Yu Xiaolian in the book died after Jun Mobai drained her blood.

After Yu Xiaolian’s death, her unbelievably awesome father of the shaman race finally appeared to avenge his daughter. However, it was impossible for Yu Xiaolian, who was already dead, to know.

Yu Xiaolian only read this part of the novel, but she didn’t see the ending.

However, it was obvious that Jun Mobai and Yu Yanran were blessed by the protagonist halo. They definitely wouldn’t die. The unlucky one should be Yu Xiaolian’s father, who was determined to avenge his daughter.

Yu Xiaolian was lying on the bed, and so were Yu Changhe and Madam Sun. There was a floral curtain between them.

At this moment, Yu Xiaolian did not feel sleepy at all. Jun Mobai was the heir of the Duke of Huainan. He was rich and powerful. It would be easy for him to kill Yu Changhe. Two years later, how could she protect Yu Changhe from death?

Suddenly, a person’s name flashed through Yu Xiaolian’s mind—Jun Yian.

Yu Xiaolian smiled.

It seemed that she had no choice but to start with him.

The next day, in order not to clash with Madam Cao’s breakfast time, Madam Sun prepared breakfast early. It was still watery porridge.

After the three of them drank the porridge, Madam Sun took out the string of copper coins from the bed cabinet and placed them in a cloth bag. She told Yu Xiaolian to carry a small bamboo basket, and the mother and daughter set off.

The village where the Yu family was located was called Hewanzi. It was not far from town. After crossing the bridge and walking for around ten minutes, they arrived at town.

Although Yu Xiaolian was ten years old, this was her first time in town.

At this moment, the sun had not completely risen. The sky was still gray, but people were already coming and going in town.

At this time, most of the people in the market were bartering. People were used to working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Madam Sun held Yu Xiaolian’s hand and passed through the noisy market to a satin shop.

Madam Sun had probably done embroidery work for this shop in the past. As soon as Madam Sun entered, the lady boss of the silk shop recognized Madam Sun and kept praising her for her beautiful embroidery style that was easy to sell.

Madam Sun successfully obtained some embroidery threads, handkerchiefs, and sachets. After carefully wrapping them, she placed them into the small bamboo basket on Yu Xiaolian’s back.

“Ah, this must be your daughter. This child is strangely handsome. It’s these eyes…”

The lady boss of the silk shop was about to take a closer look at Yu Xiaolian’s eyes when she was shocked and quickly lowered her head.

She had been too careless. Perhaps Yu Xiaolian in her previous life had been discovered by Jun Mobai’s people like this.

“Mother, my eyes seem to be filled with sand. I’ll wait for you outside!” Yu Xiaolian fled out of the silk shop.

The lady boss of the silk shop didn’t notice anything wrong. She just felt that Yu Xiaolian, this country girl, had never seen the world.

She then said to Madam Sun, “Your girl is already so old. Does she know how to make string bags? Coincidentally, the shop is going to make a batch of string bags recently. I wonder if you two will accept this job?”

Madam Sun had always wanted to earn more money. How could she not earn the money that came knocking on her door? “I’ll accept it. Both of us will make string bags. I wonder if there will be many jobs? How long can we do it for?”

In her heart, Madam Sun naturally felt that it was better to do this job for a longer time. This was because not only did they owe money to a few families in the village, but they also did not have any money for seeds next spring.
