"But I don't think it's so unreasonable to change one's life with one's own hands. Is it so difficult to understand that people want to improve their living conditions? As long as it's not stolen or forcibly obtained, isn't everyone working hard just to survive?" Faced with the skepticism of everyone, Su Guan was actually quite annoyed.

"I've said it before; I'm not a rich lady now. My previous life has nothing to do with me anymore. My current life is what I have to go through. I don't need to have exactly what Gu Yue has. She is herself, and I am myself. What she used to be is her business, and what I am now is my business. Please don't compare me to her. I don't want my life to always be overshadowed by Gu Yue's name!"

Su Guan finished angrily and then got up and left the dining table. It was necessary to clarify things with them, so they wouldn't keep comparing her to Gu Yue and make her live in Gu Yue's shadow forever.

She knew that completely winning over these brothers was still a distant goal, something she couldn't see the end of. Well, she didn't expect their world to change into hers all at once. She could take it slow.

Half an hour later, Su Jing knocked on Su Guan's door. She hadn't eaten lunch today, and he specially brought Su Guan some food and an apology along with Su Yun.

"Sister Su Guan, are you asleep?"

How could Su Guan fall asleep? But after a while, she wasn't angry anymore, so she quickly opened the door and saw Su Jing and Su Yun.

"Big Brother, is there something you need?"

"You haven't eaten lunch yet, so we've come to bring you food. Su Guan is a good cook!"

"Thank you, Big Brother, for the compliment!" Su Guan took the food from him.

Su Jing used his hand to pull Su Yun, signaling him to apologize.

Su Yun wasn't as reluctant as before, maybe because he realized he had spoken too harshly, or perhaps Su Guan's words had made him uneasy.

"I'm sorry, Su Guan. I shouldn't have spoken so harshly. From now on, no matter what you do, as long as it doesn't harm this family, I won't criticize you lightly."

"I accept Fourth Brother's apology, but regarding the matter of picking pine mushrooms, I will continue!" Su Guan wasn't really angry; she had just felt wronged at the time because whatever she did, it seemed to them that she was doing it for her own good.

"Su Guan, if you want to go, we won't stop you, but you must be careful of your safety. There are many wild animals in the mountains, and we were worried that you would be in danger going alone, so we spoke a bit harshly. Since you insist, we won't stop you too much, but please be careful. Do you understand?" Su Jing repeatedly reminded her.

"Our rice will last for one more day at most. Let your Fourth Brother accompany you to the market the day after tomorrow to sell it. Is that okay?"

Su Yun, who was suddenly assigned a task, widened his eyes and pointed at his own nose, looking very confused.

"Why me? Anyone else is more suitable than me!"

Is the big brother not afraid that he will say the wrong thing again and upset this little ancestor?

"Since you sincerely apologize, then you must be sincere. I'm giving you a chance to change for the better. Take good care of Guan Guan. If she loses a single hair, I will hold you responsible!"

Su Jing was deliberate about this, and Su Yun was the most carefree, so he wanted the two of them to spend more time together to naturally improve their relationship!

Su Guan also realized this and suppressed a smile.

"I..."

"Alright, it's settled. Guan Guan, rest well after you finish eating. We'll take a break too!"

Without waiting for Su Yun to protest, Su Jing pulled him away decisively, putting an end to the discussion.

Su Yun knew he couldn't control his mouth, and he was genuinely afraid of saying the wrong thing.

...

In the afternoon, almost as soon as the brothers left, Su Guan headed to the mountains with a basket. This time, she went further, and she wasn't sure if it was her luck, but both of her small baskets were filled. She planned to come back tomorrow for another day of picking and then sell the mushrooms the day after.

She didn't delay cooking this time, and the atmosphere at dinner improved. Su Yun remained silent, and when he didn't speak, he looked quite pleasant. Su Guan thought to herself that he was a handsome guy, but his mouth was his downfall!

On the last day, the rice in the Su family was finally harvested. They removed the grains from the ears and filled them all in baskets. The next step was to dry the grains. Several brothers no longer had to work in the fields, and they had tanned visibly from the sun. Their faces were fine, but their necks had tanned a bit, but it didn't affect their good looks.

In the afternoon, Su Guan continued to pick pine mushrooms. She had accumulated a lot over the past two days, filling two baskets. She sprinkled water on them every morning, noon, and night to keep them fresh. Today, she made an extra effort in the afternoon, hoping to get a good price when selling them tomorrow. She had already made arrangements with He Jiaolan to take the village's ox cart to the market early in the morning to sell the mushrooms.

The place she came to today didn't seem to be very productive. She had been picking for a long time and had only filled a small basket. Su Guan thought, maybe she should go further inside. She couldn't be that unlucky to encounter a wild beast, right?

With a sense of luck, Su Guan bravely ventured further inside. Sure enough, there were many pine mushrooms there, and He Jiaolan had mentioned that these mushrooms were the freshest in the first half of the month!

She was enjoying picking by herself when suddenly there was a noise nearby. A wild boar emerged from the bushes and charged straight towards Su Guan. Su Guan, seeing this, had her pupils dilate in fear and instinctively reacted, sprinting away.

"Oh my goodness!"

She was really unlucky. She had thought she wouldn't encounter any wild animals with her lucky mindset, but it turned out she had encountered one. She didn't know what kind of incredible luck that was.

The wild boar chased relentlessly from behind, and ahead was a pitfall covered with many branches. Su Guan immediately recognized it as a large pit. She quickly veered to the side, just stopping at the edge of the pit.

The wild boar clearly couldn't stop in time and plunged into the pit, pressing down all the branches on top of it. Below was a two-meter-deep hole, dust flew up, and Su Guan was left covered in dust, coughing uncontrollably. The pine mushrooms in her basket had fallen out, and her basket had been flattened. The only surviving pine mushrooms were now mushy in her hand.

Jiang, the hunter, had caught up from behind and witnessed the scene. He rushed over to help Su Guan.

"Girl, are you okay? You didn't fall or hurt yourself anywhere, did you?"

Su Guan felt a slight pain in her knee, but other than that, she was fine. However, in this forest, not only did a wild boar suddenly appear, but now a person had also suddenly emerged.

"I'm fine. Who are you, sir?"

Upon closer inspection, it was a middle-aged man with a beard. Although he was over forty, you could still see that he had handsome features.
