She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 92 Raising troops to investigate crimes
There's a small path about ten meters in front of her house.

Normally, the team members pass by here when they go to Dongshan.

If it were daytime, then it wouldn't matter.

Who went up the mountain so late at night?

It's really strange.

Ji Shuyin quietly closed the door, then took a large pole and leaned it against the inside.

Let's deliver this tomorrow.

It's nothing really, it's just that I feel unsafe.

He entered the house in the dark, then took a chair and placed it by the door.

What if there really is a bad guy? If he pushes the door open, the chair will fall over.

She will wake up when she hears the sound.

Although the crackdown on petty theft is very strong now, she, as a girl, still has to be careful.

He lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), tossed and turned for a long time, and finally managed to fall asleep.

The next morning, I went next door and knocked on the door.

However, no one came out for a long time.

She felt strange, and then she thought of what Jiang Shi'an had said about the black market. Since there were good things before dawn, she guessed he had gone there again.

Never mind then, let's talk about it later.

Just then, Huang Chunjing and several female comrades arrived.

"You mean you're going to pick mushrooms in the mountains?"

"Yes, the autumn harvest is coming soon, and I guess there won't be any time then."

At this moment, many team members have gone up the mountain.

Let's pick some too. The brigade leader said we don't need to confiscate the wild vegetables."

So this is still good news; the dining table can be more varied again.

Ji Shuyin was quite happy. She carried a basket on her back, took a machete, and set off with them.

Once we got to the mountain, we went straight to the pine forest.

Under this tree, there grows a yellow mushroom that tastes incredibly delicious.

Moreover, there are many of them, making them easy to identify.

As long as they're not too big, they're edible. If they're too big, they'll get infested with worms or rot.

Two of those traveling with me were educated youth from last year.

They also recognized many other mushrooms, and after Ji Shuyin identified them one by one, she began her own exploration.

This thing shouldn't be picked randomly; eating the wrong thing can easily lead to poisoning.

She deliberately walked a distance ahead to keep her distance from everyone.

Besides picking mushrooms, we also need to cut some glass pine trees to use as a trellis for the vegetables.

The growth rate of the space is also much faster.

These seeds, which have just been sown, will probably grow quite large in less than ten days to half a month.

She doesn't often have the chance to come out alone, so today is a good day to get some.

Whatever was cut off was simply thrown into the space.

If I come across mushrooms, I'll pick some too.

Around noon, she had picked quite a few mushrooms, enough to fill half a basket.

There are about a hundred glass cherry trees.

Although I'm very tired, I'm very satisfied with the result.

Once we reached this side of the main road, we prepared to meet up with everyone.

The meeting place had been agreed upon in advance, so she could just go there directly.

"Shuyin, you're finally here. How was your trip?"

The other girls have already arrived.

There's a ditch in the middle of the road, and spring water from the mountain flows down to the river below.

Watching the group of people take off their shoes and socks and play around, she suddenly felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

"Not many, how about you?"

Caught up in the atmosphere, she was in a good mood. She chatted with everyone, washed her hands, tidied up, and headed home.

Today is a day of harvest, a group of hardworking girls, full of youthful energy.

"Look, isn't that Gu Zhiqing?"

Yang Leyu gave a timely reminder, and everyone looked over.

That figure, who else could it be but him?

"What are you doing? Are you here to cause trouble again?"

Shuyin, don't worry, we're here, we won't let him bully you.

In fact, everyone is getting a little annoyed with this person.

I kept bothering her, even though we were both women, we all had a youthful passion.

I can't stand injustices.

Given the uproar between the two, they despised this educated youth, Gu, even more.

"It's alright, let's see what he's up to!"

Ji Shuyin remained calm; such a person didn't deserve to make him angry.

Seeing that several people were coming over, Gu Yuncheng didn't say anything unpleasant.

"Shuyin, come here for a moment, I need to talk to you."

Even a slightly commanding tone can be very off-putting.

Huang Chunjing also stepped up and blocked the person with her arm.

"What do you want with Shuyin? She has nothing to say to you."

This overprotective behavior successfully angered the other party.

"Hmph, you did something wrong, and now you're pushing others forward to shield you. Is this how you treat your friends?"

Oh dear, how did this escalate into a personal attack?
Are you crazy? What did I do wrong?

Besides, even if I did something, what does it have to do with you?
Who do you think you are, pointing fingers at me like that?

People need to be made to recognize their own place.

"Hmph, you make it sound nice, but how come it has nothing to do with me?"
"I'm asking you, did you tell Yuexiang about me buying fabric to make clothes for Weiyu?"

Moon Fragrance?

Such an intimate way of addressing each other, could this person be starting to make a move on the captain's daughter?
"So what? Who told you to show off to me!"
I wasn't making things up; can't I just tell the truth?

To his surprise, she admitted it so easily, leaving Gu Yuncheng somewhat dumbfounded.

"You, it really is you. You just can't stand to see me doing well."

You know what? If it weren't for your meddling, I wouldn't be being pressured to pay you back. It's infuriating!

The people around him all looked speechless.

"Paying back debts is a matter of course. If someone helps you when you are in your most difficult time, why don't you express your gratitude?"

"Pay it back as soon as you have the money, and you still want to delay? What kind of person are you!"

This kind of moral condemnation is the most powerful.

Sure enough, the girls looked at him with disdain.

Gu Yuncheng forced himself to remain calm and began to defend himself.

"That's not what I meant. I just got the money and I was thinking of buying some things right away."

I'll pay them back when I get back.

"Who told you to be so nosy? It's not like I don't want to pay you back."

Haha, that's just how these people are. Even if they've done something wrong, they'll frantically find excuses.

"Hmph, since you're going to pay it back anyway, why are you barking like a dog?"
"You're acting like you're the creditor, coming here to interrogate me. You're really going to be humbled."

Ji Shuyin didn't want to give him any face at all; this guy was just courting death.

After so many times, you still haven't seen reality clearly.

"That's none of your business. Everyone misunderstands me now."

"This has caused indelible damage to my reputation. How do you expect me to compensate you?"

Um, is this an attempt to emulate her approach of solving everything with money?
Haha, you learn really fast!

"Fine, I'll compensate you. You said it yourself..."
