Chapter 14: Not a Selfish Person

Su Guan was comforted, and her mind finally stopped overthinking.

The water tank at home was empty, so Su Jing and the others each carried a load of buckets to the well to fetch water. They were accustomed to these farm chores since childhood, and with three of them, they made two trips each, filling up the two water tanks at home.

Su Guan was the last to take a bath. Everyone else bathed casually, using two buckets of water for a quick wash. Gu Yue, on the other hand, was different. Her parents had a separate bathtub for her to bathe in, which now belonged to Su Guan.

After she finished her bath, the oil lamps in her brothers' rooms had already gone out. She hadn't slept well the previous night and had done some work today, so she almost fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

The next morning, when Su Guan woke up, it was already broad daylight. Several of her brothers had already gone to work, and the fire in the stove was still burning, indicating that they had left not long ago. There was still warmth in the pot for her breakfast, which consisted of a bowl of sweet potato porridge and two steamed buns.

Halfway through her meal, He Jiaolan arrived carrying a basket.

"Sister Su Guan, are you feeling better? Let's go up the mountain early and come back early, or else we'll suffer in the sun!"

"I'm coming!"

After quickly tidying up her bowl and chopsticks, Su Guan also grabbed a basket and closed the bamboo gate.

"I'm sorry for making you wait. Let's go quickly; I need to come back to cook for my brothers at noon!"

As Su Guan turned around, she saw He Jiaolan and her sisters still there. Chen Yinghong still wore a sour expression, as if she looked down on Su Guan.

"Hmph, are you even capable of cooking? Can you eat?"

Seeing Chen Yinghong's eyes that didn't look like eyes and nose that didn't look like a nose, Su Guan had no intention of indulging her.

"I didn't ask you to eat. You're interfering too much!"

"You!" Chen Yinghong's cheeks puffed up in anger, and He Jiaolan quickly acted as a mediator.

"Alright, alright, it's getting late. Let's go!"

She stood between the two, diffusing the tense atmosphere. The four of them then walked towards the mountain together, but Chen Yinghong's disdainful gaze towards Su Guan remained unchanged.

The mountains in the vicinity were filled with towering pine trees. Today, He Jiaolan took Su Guan to a different foothill to pick mushrooms. The mountains close to the village had already been thoroughly picked, but fortunately, it was the busy farming season, and there were few people coming out to pick pine mushrooms. So, they hoped to pick some and earn a little pocket money, although it wasn't worth much.

"Sister Su Guan, let's split up and pick. I'll call you from time to time. Just remember not to go too deep into the mountains. There are wild animals in the mountains, and it's not safe!"

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the four of them had to split up, but they couldn't go too far from each other, staying within each other's reach. The deep forests in this area were inhabited by wild animals, including wolf packs and black bears.

"I understand, Jiaolan sister!"

Su Guan picked up a long tree branch and began to carefully search for mushrooms. She had good luck, as every time she brushed away the fallen leaves, she would find many large pine mushrooms underneath. However, she always remembered He Jiaolan's advice.
