Happiness System

For the remaining half of the way down the mountain, Meng Yuxi produced some things from time to time, but she didn't dare to do anything big, mainly because she was afraid that everyone couldn't bear something too heavy. She only produced some seasoning plants such as ginger, garlic, chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns.

Because they were delayed in digging potatoes and sweet potatoes in the morning, and encountered unnatural phenomena and had to take a detour, by the time the group got down the mountain, it was already completely dark.

The city gate must be closed by now, and I can't get into the city if I go back. I might as well stay here and try my luck finding some natural food tomorrow morning.

Just because others can’t enter the city doesn’t mean Wen Yujin can’t enter, and he has to enter the city overnight!

"It's not safe to leave the supplies here. I'll take them back first and I'll also inform my uncle."

After Wen Yujin finished speaking, he called ten of his brothers to drive the carriage back to the city.

The elders at home will naturally arrange for the supplies to be brought back to the city. After discussing it, the Meng family members decided to stay here for another two days.

Wen Yujin entered the city at night. The news that there were good things in Kunshen Mountain was well kept secret, so it would probably take two or three days to be discovered. The time in between was all the time they had to grab supplies!

The Meng family had good intentions, but as soon as Wen Yujin reported it, the imperial court sent people over overnight!

The court has people who understand formations, and they have newly made marks, so Meng Yuxi is not needed for the time being.

Kunshen Mountain was heavily guarded, but no one was so ruthless as to immediately drive the Meng family away. It was just that they could not go up the mountain after daybreak!

Meng Yuxi secretly felt regretful. She had secretly planted seeds in many places to give birth to some edible plants, which benefited the people in the court!

"Sister Xi, shall we go to other mountains to look for the chosen food tomorrow?" Although the actions of the imperial court were within expectations, Meng Shibai still felt very disappointed and regretful.

"Go ahead, let's go to the next hill!"

Her cabbage, mustard greens, and radishes, the vegetables used to make sauerkraut and pickles, have not yet been sown to grow!

There is also rapeseed oil, and animal oil is also very unpalatable, it is better to get some vegetable oil...

The original owner had been fleeing for nearly three years, and the first three months were the hardest, especially for the women in the inner house...

Meng Shibai wanted to ask some more questions, but found that his sister had fallen asleep. He shook his head helplessly, retreated outside, and fell asleep guarding the shaft of the carriage.

As soon as the sky was getting light, the Meng family consciously drove the carriage to the nearby hilltop.

The carriage shook and Meng Yuxi woke up.

She rinsed her mouth with the water in the sleeping bag, wet a handkerchief and wiped her face. She felt a little more energetic and quietly ate two rice balls to fill her stomach.

It’s really hard to eat out when you’re out!

In fact, there is not much difference between being the chosen one and being a scavenger. After not taking a shower for a few days, Meng Yuxi already feels that she is not clean!

She didn't care about anything else. After getting off the carriage, she took her brothers and sisters into the forest.

Two hours later, the chosen teams from other families finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. They were already loading goods and preparing to return to the city.

Because this place is too close to Kunshen Mountain, few people come here, and no one notices the Meng family's great harvest.

"Cut more mutant grass that horses can eat. Covering the things can also solve the problem of horse fodder. Don't be lazy when you can kill two birds with one stone!"

Meng Yuxi sat on the shaft of the cart, swinging her legs and eating watermelon, not forgetting to give orders to her brothers.

That look is so despicable!

"Hurry up! Shi Feng, Shi Qi, you guys hurry back here and cut the grass. Finish it quickly and go back to the city before it's too hot!"

Meng Shibai just saw his cousin cut open another big watermelon, and he felt difficulty breathing.

There is no way. The Meng family has been poor for more than ten years. Especially in recent years, they have been in debt and have to pawn things to make ends meet. They really can't stand seeing things being wasted.

It's no wonder that he knows how to be thrifty at such a young age. He is really tired of being poor. The supplies he can exchange for a watermelon can make the women and children in his family live much better.

Before fleeing the famine, everyone should take good care of themselves to strengthen their bodies so as to avoid getting sick and suffering less on the road.

Meng Yuxi naturally had no idea what he was thinking. After eating the melon, she hid in her compartment to catch up on her sleep.

The Meng family has four horses, and this one is the only carriage, while the others are pulling large carts.

This is all for transporting things. If there wasn't a female relative like her, this carriage would have been saved and more things could have been put in!

Her cousin is so confident that he can get good stuff!

"Daddy, I'm back!"

"Huh? My brother and my younger brother are here too?"

Seeing that Meng Yiyun was not there, Meng Yuxi ignored the two sickly people and called for someone to bring hot water for her to take a bath.

When he came out again, Meng Yiyun was sitting under the fence reading a book.

"Xi'er, there is no one you hate in the inner courtyard anymore. It's not good for a woman like you to live in the outer courtyard!"

Meng Yuxi didn't expect him to say this, so she walked over and half-knelt at his knees, "Daddy, what does it mean that there is no one I hate in the inner courtyard?"

Meng Yiyun reached out and rubbed her head, "It's just what you think. I've divorced your biological mother!

My fake daughter is now called Chen Panpan, and maybe she will be called Cui Panpan soon."

Meng Yuxi: “??? I thought daddy would be reluctant to let me go!” No wonder everyone in the family acted weird when I came back.

Meng Yiyun chuckled, "I thought she had you in her heart to some extent, but I was disappointed.

Whatever, I will soon become a rootless duckweed anyway, what is the point of all that reputation..."

Originally, I thought that my daughter was going to get married soon, and it would be bad for her parents to divorce, but it would be even worse to have a mother who was fickle and was thinking about other men, right?

"Just go, we can save some food!"

Meng Yuxi didn't want to mention those two people either, and instead talked about the matter of Kunshen Mountain.

The look of seeking credit made Meng Yiyun laugh, "My daughter is really capable!"

As she spoke, her wet hair was blown dry by the wind. She casually tied her hair up with a hairpin, took her father to see her spoils, and personally went into the kitchen to make him a bowl of noodles. She sent him back to his room to rest before going to see the vegetables she had grown.

"What's going on? Is this patch dead?"

The servant who was helping to tend the vegetable garden had his eyes twinkling, and decided to tell the truth under Meng Yuxi's sharp gaze, "It was the Third Madam, no, it was the former Third Madam who asked someone to shovel up the soil and send it to that...

When the Third Master found out, he was very angry and had a big fight with the former Third Wife. The Third Master was almost sick from anger again.

The next day, the former third wife and Miss Pan'er left, saying they were divorced..."

"Sent to Cui's house?"

"Yes!"

"Isn't that person from the Cui family very powerful? It was Miss Cui who provided the formula for our purified fertilizer!"

"I don't know! But I heard that the natural plants of the Cui family are not as fresh as ours, and their survival rate and growth rate are not as good as ours."

Eat inside and outside!

Meng Yuxi suddenly understood why her father, who had never given in, suddenly decided so decisively to divorce.

The Meng family could tolerate her inaction and lack of love for the children, but they could not tolerate her infringing on the family's interests.

The output of these several square meters of plants is enough to feed her family for half a month, not to mention the effort and money she needs to spend on making fertilizer.

When she came over, the masters of the Meng family had already started mixing mutant plants together for consumption.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the servant continued, "Miss San, the master asked the servants to turn over all the vacant yards and exchanged them for some seeds at a high price. Do you want to mix some more purifying fertilizers?"

Meng Yuxi frowned and then relaxed, "Get the materials ready, and ask uncle to select a few people to come and learn tomorrow. Don't we have a farm at home? We can also grow some crops there.

And let uncle see if we can let the in-laws learn from us..."

In fact, the most important thing about planting is her wood ability, but the purification fertilizer she mixes is definitely better than that of Cui Jiaojiao!

It would be better to let relatives learn from it, so that they don’t have to come to borrow food halfway through the journey.

"Yes!"

The servant agreed, and when he saw Meng Yuxi leaving, he immediately ran to find Meng Yihui from another road.

Meng Yuxi returned to the front yard and took people to organize the things she had brought back specially for Meng Yiyun and his son.

Then she asked someone to go out and buy some wild animal meat, and brought back some spices. She wanted to test whether the meat could still be saved.

Meng Yiyun woke up from his nap and saw the yard was full of wheat and grains drying in the sun, leaving only a narrow walkway. He came out for a long time but didn't hear his daughter's voice. He asked the servant: "Where is Xier? Has she moved back to the inner courtyard?"

He seemed to have slept much better today and didn't even hear such a loud noise.

The servant shook his head. "Third Master, Third Miss said she wanted to try to see if the herbs she found could remove the fishy smell of the meat. She was afraid that it would stink you, so she took everyone to the kitchen."

Seeing that Meng Yiyun had no other instructions, he hurried to check the dryness of the wheat.

When he realized that it was almost done, he turned to Meng Yiyun and said, "Third Master, I am going to grind the wheat grains. The dust is not good for your health. How about I take you to your study first?"

Meng Yiyun frowned and said, "Just take it outside the yard and grind it!"

The servant immediately shook his head, "Third Master, Miss Third said that these are for you, the Fifth Master, and the Ninth Master to eat, and they cannot be taken out!"

"Forget it!" Meng Yiyun was speechless. How could he eat alone?

Meng Yuxi was sweating in the kitchen. The braised meat she made smelled really good, but the taste was disappointing.

Although the meal was far from what she expected, the Meng family ate with gusto. Even Meng Yiyun and his sons ate half an extra bowl of rice.

For three consecutive days, Meng Yuxi was in charge of preparing purified fertilizer in the morning and researching the braised meat recipe in the afternoon.

Everyone in the Meng family looked rosy after eating, but she was the only one who was still being picky and complaining.

After Meng Shibai invited her to find the Chosen Food but was rejected, she simply took her younger brothers and several brothers from Li Xinrui's family to hunt wild beasts.

Meng Yuxi accepted all the animal meat that was sent back to her, and asked someone to dry it into jerky if she couldn't finish it in one meal.

When the relatives learned that the Meng family's house was filled with fragrance every day, they came to visit again.

Meng Yuxi did not hide anything and gave them her latest secret recipes. Unfortunately, most people could not gather so many herbs and seasonings.

A few days later, Wen Yujin came back from his errand and heard that the Meng family had shared their latest formula for purifying fertilizer with their in-laws, so he went to visit them.

The Meng family has been as busy as a busy city these days. Those who used to avoid their house for fear of coming to borrow money or establish relationships with them, have now come to make friends with them, and have even asked to see her.
