CHAPTER 84: CHAPTER 84 IT’S ALWAYS BETTER TO BE GRATEFUL THAN TO TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED

Ye Wenjuan had thought countless times how wonderful it would be if she were the old master’s granddaughter. Then she could live a carefree life like Ye Wenhui and Ye Wen Yue.

Therefore, she tried every means to please the old master and the people in the main house and the Second House. Her goal was to bask in the reflected glory of Ye Wenhui and Ye Wen Yue. Naturally, she had also frequently schemed against her two cousins, Wen Yue and Wenhui.

She just hadn’t expected Ye Wenhui to change so much after returning from being transferred out of town with her parents for a few years. To humiliate me in front of so many people! Ye Wenhui, you just wait! Ye Wen Yue has three biological brothers to protect her, but you’re not so lucky. Your own brother favors me far more than you. After all, during the years Second Uncle Ye Binglin was transferred away, your cousin Ye Wenze has always lived in Beijing.

Ye Wenhui had no idea Ye Wenjuan was thinking so much. When we were children, every time Ye Wenjuan bullied me, she would turn around and act pitifully to the adults, and I was always the one who got scolded. Now that we’re grown up, she still thinks she can bully me? Hmph, dream on!

The grass harvesting had continued for three days, and today the entire team had a day off.

Yun Yiyi rose early and went into the mountains, having insisted on exercising there for the past few days.

The original body had good bone structure. Although she was a bit older, with the enhancement of the Spatial Well Water and her own determination, she had made some small achievements.

These past few days, she had found many medicinal herbs on the mountain, prepared numerous defensive medicinal powders, and transplanted a good number of medicinal plants into the space.

In just a few short days, the changes in her space were not insignificant.

What puzzled her the most were the bees. At some point, those in the hive on the Basswood Tree could now move freely. However, the prey she had previously captured still acted as before—lively outside the space, yet seemingly dead once inside.

She tried many times, with the same result every time.

She guessed it was probably because she had planted vegetation in the space, bringing life into it, that smaller creatures could move freely within. As for the larger animals, the space had not yet met the conditions for them to move freely. Yunyi, it had to be said, had hit upon the truth.

Aside from the vegetables she had previously planted, she also obtained seeds of melon, corn, sorghum, and soybeans from the aunts and grannies in the village. She even sneakily snapped some sweet potato vines to plant in the space.

Now, the space was no longer a stone beach devoid of any hint of life. Although planting was a bit troublesome, it was also a kind of pleasure.

Additionally, she found that the farther away from the Stone House, the wider the gaps between the stones were.

Besides the Basswood Tree she had previously moved into the space, she had also transplanted walnut, black jujube, and Korean pine trees. In pursuit of eating Huaihua freely, she even took a Huaihua tree into her space.

As she approached the small courtyard, she saw a person standing outside the gate.

When the person turned, she recognized Du Yuhua, the woman who had come with her child the other day. "Are you here for something?"

Du Yuhua gave Yunyi a slight smile. "Thank you so much for the other day, Chu Zhiqing. If you hadn’t treated him, my little Maodan would have suffered a lot. We don’t have much of value in the countryside. This is a mat my husband wove from rush straw. I thought perhaps you could use it."

Yunyi had intended to refuse, as she could weave these herself. But before she could say anything, Du Yuhua said, "You must take it; I couldn’t think of anything else."

Well, she looks so sincere. It would be wrong to refuse again, and appreciating gratitude is always better than someone taking things for granted. Yunyi then said, "Alright, I’ll accept this mat. That’s very thoughtful of you."

She put down the firewood she was carrying, took out her keys, and opened the gate. "Come on in."

Du Yuhua entered, carrying the mat, and placed it on the wooden drying rack Yunyi had built in the courtyard. "Chu Zhiqing, I’ve put it here. I have chores at home, so I’ll be going now."

Yunyi called out to her, "Hold on a second."

Du Yuhua stopped. Yunyi pulled a handful of gooseberries from her pocket. "I picked these on the mountain. Take them back for your Maodan."

Du Yuhua waved her hand dismissively. "No need, Chu Zhiqing. You keep them for yourself."

Yunyi directly stuffed the berries into Du Yuhua’s hand. "It’s nothing rare, and besides, I have more here."

Seeing Yunyi pull out another handful, Du Yuhua finally thanked her and left.
