Chapter 261: Entering the Space to See the Harvest

When Liu's father entered the room, he happened to hear Chuxue's words: "What happened?"

Liu's mother didn't cover for her youngest daughter either; after all, Chuxue was right. During this time, the villagers hadn't stopped flattering her, but how many of them were sincere?

After hearing this, Liu's father's expression also darkened: "Chunxiao, the life we have today is entirely thanks to Second Sister. I know your words were unintentional, but your Second Sister is right. Misfortune comes from the mouth. Look at the suffering those people in the village cattle shed endured; some of them were sent here simply because they said things they shouldn't have. Remember, under no circumstances should you ever become arrogant and forget your place."

Although Chunxiao felt they were exaggerating too much—after all, their family was just a rural household, how could they possibly reach that level—she had indeed been too excited today and said things she shouldn't have: "I know I was wrong. I will be careful in my actions from now on."

Previously, Chuxue had been constantly mentioning her craving for spicy chicken, but where would they get so much oil for her to waste? Just in time, using the leftover oil from the warm-house banquet, Liu's mother thought that the life they had now was all because of her second daughter.

Today, she had brought a wild pheasant back from the mountain, treating it as a reward for her.

It was only because Chuxue had kept mentioning this cooking method that she remembered it.

She added a garlic eggplant dish and a cold cucumber salad; the meal was now complete.

The flavor of the spicy chicken was truly overpowering; not to mention others, even Chuxue found herself drooling with desire.

Liu's father picked up his chopsticks and smiled: "Start eating."

After speaking, he took the first bite: "Mm, this taste is absolutely superb. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, numbingly spicy and fragrant. It's delicious."

Liu's mother shot Liu's father a look: "The chicken meat was fried in oil; of course it would taste good. If Chuxue hadn't kept mentioning it to me so many times, and if we hadn't had leftover oil yesterday, I wouldn't have made this dish."

Hearing these words, Chuxue's face was full of smiles. For Liu's mother, who had always been accustomed to frugality, she knew these words were absolutely true.

Seeing the pained expression on Liu's mother's face, her heart softened involuntarily. She decided not to trouble her mother anymore. If she wanted to eat this in the future, she could make it in the space kitchen.

This meal, the whole family enjoyed thoroughly.

After cleaning up, each went to wash up and returned to their own rooms.

A few days ago, people from the power supply station came to the village, saying that in a few days they would install electricity meters door-to-door. At that time, each household would pay according to how much electricity they used. Fearing everyone would misuse electricity during this final period, the village now cuts the power at the scheduled time.

After returning to her room and closing the doors and windows, Chuxue entered the space.

Only then did she carefully examine the items brought into the space today. Opening the first oil-paper package revealed a pair of exquisite white jade bracelets; a glance showed they were no ordinary items. Opening the second oil-paper package revealed a set of gold-inlaid jade hair ornaments. Opening the third oil-paper package revealed six jade pendants, clearly carved from the same piece of jade. The fourth oil-paper package contained ten small yellow croakers. The fifth oil-paper package held three bundles of silver dollars, and inside there was even a letter.

She hesitated slightly before opening it. The page was filled with writing, entirely a mother's reluctance to part with her son. She stood there, completely stunned.

This letter was a final testament left by a mother for her son, yet when she saw the name written on it, for some reason, she couldn't help but think of the jade plaque in the space.

But no matter how she thought about it, there could be no connection; after all, that crooked-necked tree and the cave she originally traveled through were not in the same direction.

Since she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it.

Looking at these items before her, she thought that Ding Surong had used these very things to launch her commercial empire. Now that she had obtained them, would Ding Surong still have such smooth sailing in the future?
