"Xiaoman, are you talking nonsense?"

Li Xiuyun subconsciously reached out and touched her daughter's forehead.

Only after confirming that he no longer had a fever did he breathe a sigh of relief and say:

"There's at least a pound of polished rice left in the rice bin, enough to cook more than a dozen bowls of white rice. With our appetites, how could we possibly finish it all?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman shook her head helplessly, "Mother, I'm not talking nonsense."

"It's probably because I've been doing too much physical work these past few days and my body has been overexerted, which is why I suddenly lost my strength in the ancestral hall just now."

"If I can eat more rice and gain more strength, I should be able to recover."

She even had the feeling that if there were an elephant in front of her, she could swallow it whole!

"So that's how it is..." Recalling how her daughter had suddenly lost strength and almost fallen, Li Xiuyun felt a lingering fear and quickly nodded, saying:

"Then Mother will do as you say. We can just treat it as a celebration of severing ties."

"The leftover rice can be fried into fried rice anyway, so it won't go to waste."

After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves, ready to get to work.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he carried the rice container directly to the stove and poured it all into the iron pot.

At the same time, Li Xiuyun subconsciously looked up at the two pieces of cured meat hanging on the roof beam, and then found a wooden stool to take them all down.

You can't just eat plain white rice without any side dishes, can you?

My daughter made a lot of money at the Han family's house yesterday, so she naturally did her best to satisfy her desire for some good food.

Soon, white smoke began to rise from the chimney of the kitchen.

Yang Xiaoman lay sprawled on the stone table in the courtyard, her whole body filled with a feeling of utter exhaustion and weakness.

At this point, she was almost certain that the reason her body had changed was because of the "reward" unlocked by the system: innate superhuman strength!

In her mind, people who are naturally strong almost all have one thing in common...

That means they can eat a lot!

Therefore, the root cause of her physical weakness was that she ate too little, which led to a lack of physical strength.

"Also, the next reward unlock requirements for the system..."

Yang Xiaoman frowned. A happy family?

She initially guessed that perhaps redeeming her younger sister Yang Xiaoning from the Qi family would unlock new system rewards.

As for what the reward is, it has not been revealed in advance.

At the same time, as the sound of stir-frying continued to come from the kitchen, the aroma of garlic sprouts stir-fried with cured pork wafted over and instantly filled the entire courtyard.

Yang Xiaoman subconsciously licked her lips, picked up the steaming teacup in front of her, and drank it all in one gulp without hesitation.

While cooking, her mother worried that she was getting too hungry, so she took the opportunity to boil some hot water to temporarily satisfy her hunger.

Fortunately, the kitchen door suddenly opened before the pot of hot tea was finished.

Ignoring the sweat pouring down her face, Li Xiuyun quickly stepped forward and placed the stir-fried garlic sprouts with cured pork and steaming white rice on the stone table.

"Xiaoman, you eat first, Mom will get you some food."

After hastily saying those words, she rushed into the kitchen and immediately brought out four large bowls of white rice.

Once she returned to the stone table, Yang Xiaoman couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks.

Just as I picked up one of the bowls of white rice and was about to start eating, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that my mother was staring at me without moving.

"Mother, there's so much food, you should eat too."

A thought flashed through her mind, and she immediately understood what her mother was thinking.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun smiled gently and said:

"Xiaoman, Mom isn't hungry yet, you eat first."

"It's probably because you're still growing that you get hungry so quickly. If you can finish it all, even if you eat it all up, it'll be fine."

"There's still some in the pot, don't worry, Mom won't go hungry."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoman didn't know what else to say. She swallowed hard and then looked at the dish of stir-fried garlic sprouts and cured pork on the table.

With a twitch of her nose, she began to sweep across everything in front of her like a whirlwind.

The chopsticks even danced in mid-air, leaving afterimages.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyun's eyes widened in astonishment.

If outsiders saw this, they would probably think she was abusing her daughter, not feeding her for days on end.

"What happened? Why is my daughter so hungry?"

Watching Yang Xiaoman quickly shovel bowl after bowl of white rice away, Li Xiuyun swallowed hard in shock.

He then silently got up, picked up the empty bowl, and walked towards the kitchen.

He scooped up several more bowls of white rice and placed them on the stone table.

Now she is no longer worried about whether her daughter can finish the mountain of white rice in the pot.

Instead, I was a little worried. What if there wasn't enough for my daughter to eat?

"If all else fails, go next door and borrow some fine rice from Aunt Yang. We'll buy some in town tomorrow and return it."

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyun finally felt a little relieved.

He picked up a handkerchief and wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.

At this point, she couldn't tell whether the sweat on her forehead was from rushing to cook or from being frightened by her daughter's eating habits.

After eating five or six bowls of white rice, Yang Xiaoman felt that her physical condition had finally returned to normal.

She, who had been feeling a little dizzy, suddenly regained her senses completely, and her previous weakness vanished!

Sure enough, the weakness I felt earlier was just a temporary adjustment in my body.

Now that she's eating until she's half full, she can finally feel the benefits of her innate superhuman strength.

Looking at the stone table in front of him, Yang Xiaoman even felt that he could lift it with one hand!

"Mom, I'm still not full. Could you scoop me another bowl?"

Seeing her mother staring at her with her mouth wide open, Yang Xiaoman silently handed over the empty bowl and blinked innocently.

"Uh..." Li Xiuyun's lips twitched slightly, then she nodded and said:

"I'll go right now."

She had gone from being initially shocked by her daughter's terrifying appetite to becoming somewhat numb to it.

After saying that, she took the empty bowl and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

Yang Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief after her mother entered the kitchen, her gaze falling on the stone table in front of her.

The reason she asked her mother to help scoop the rice was simply to get her out of the way.

A rough estimate suggests that the stone table in front of us weighs at least several hundred kilograms!

Yang Xiaoman took a deep breath and placed her hands under the stone table.

"I'd like to see..."

"Just how powerful is this so-called innate superhuman strength?!"

Thinking it over, she immediately mustered all her strength and lifted herself up sharply!

Suddenly, the square stone table in front of them, which was large enough to hold eight people, was lifted up at least three inches off the ground.

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaoman couldn't help but open her mouth wide, her face full of astonishment.

She lifted it up so easily with less than half her strength?

Immediately, she released her hands.

boom!

The stone table slammed onto the ground with a deafening crash.

The kitchen door suddenly opened, and Li Xiuyun rushed out in a panic.

"W-what happened...?"

"Could it be an earthquake?!"
