"You better watch your words and don't offend the Third Brother and his wife!" he warned her before walking away.
Wu Huning had already learned about her father-in-law's plan to move out tonight and stay with her third brother-in-law from her husband. She knew her husband wanted the house, so she didn't dare to ruin his plan.
Meanwhile, in the neighboring village, a group of men were sneaking into one of the houses.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around due to autumn planting, they ransacked the house and took away everything. When they left, only some old furniture and a bit of food in the kitchen was left.
After entering the mountains, they took a detour and headed to the county town through Xie Village's road. The stolen items and money would be packed and sent to Yunnan City tonight.
A few hours later, they reached the black market in the town and entered the grain shop through the back door. Putting down the things, one of them asked, "Brother Xiao He, why did our boss suddenly ask us to rob a villager's house?"
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Xiao He replied, "I heard from my father that these items belong to a friend of our boss' second brother. Those people robbed him first, so we just took back his things and are sending them to him."
Hearing this, another said, "If I had known those villagers were robbers, I would have taken everything. Let them taste their own medicine!"
Xiao He laughed and said, "If you did that, then you would be the same as them. We are only taking back what they stole. As for the rest, our boss said not to touch it."
"Alright, we should pack these things and get them to the train station. The train leaves in five hours," he reminded them.
"Okay."
While Xiao He and his group were busy, Lu Jueyu had already returned home while Dong Huang and her friends went to the river to catch shrimp.
After returning, she went into her space to take a nap before washing the dishes and checking the east wing's greenhouse.
The small greenhouse was planted with ginseng and spiritual herbs. Unlike other crops, these required a much higher standard of care, so she made it a point to check on them every two or three days.
When she entered the greenhouse, she immediately noticed that the air felt different from outside. Taking a deep breath, she felt that the air here was somewhat similar to the one in her space.
Squatting beside the soil, she saw that the ginseng was growing faster than expected, and the spiritual herbs were thriving.
