Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

The two talked back and forth, which made Ji Yunshu feel a little sad.

Aunt Wang and Wang Rong are just like their family in the Wang Mansion. One of their men is fighting on the front lines to protect the country and his family, but in the end, he suffers all kinds of hardships and even has trouble getting food.

Ji Yunshu secretly vowed that she would work together with Aunt Wang and Wang Rong to make their lives better and better. Not only that, she would also find Wang Zheng.

After a while, the other people around also started to pull the fish out of the ice one after another, because the commotion they had made earlier had scared the fish away.

Although they managed to break the ice, they didn't manage to catch many fish.

Sometimes a family catches two fish, sometimes only one. Even the miners who were the first to break the ice only managed to catch forty or fifty fish.

Fortunately, the fish they caught were large and fat. Even though there were not many, as long as everyone shared them, they could still fill their stomachs to some extent. There were also some fish scattered in the river, which they could keep watch at the entrance of the ice cave.

Occasionally, a few can still be caught.

Once the ice cave was broken open, the others also noticed the problem. They looked at the few scattered fish swimming around beneath their own ice, then glanced at the area below the ice cave where Ji Yunshu and Aunt Wang were. It was a dark, dense mass.

Everyone's heads were buzzing.

"Oh dear, what happened? I thought that once the ice broke, we could catch fish! What's wrong with you all? You're making so much noise and scaring all the fish away!"

"Oh dear, is this my fault? It's not like I'm the only one with such a loud voice; your voices are loud too!"

"Didn't you see how quietly everyone was breaking the ice? They were all so quiet, afraid of scaring the fish away. Look at you, shouting so loudly, the whole Anjia Village could hear you, like you were afraid the fish wouldn't hear you!"

"Alright, alright, the ice has broken, stop talking nonsense, just keep guarding it!"

"They're not all gone. There are still some scattered around. We can catch a few to improve our meals. Don't be too greedy!"

"So what if I want to? Is this something I can just think of and get more of?"

"Shut up with that loud voice of yours! If you keep talking, you'll scare away the last few fish!"

Everyone was talking at once.

Before long, the river became quiet.

The others also noticed this phenomenon, and the previously cheerful crowd all fell silent, each finding a quiet place to sit in front of their own ice cave.

Watching the fish swimming around at the bottom of the ice cave, each person prepared a bamboo pole.

Just wait for the fish to surface at the entrance of the ice cave, then plunge it in.

But they've lived here for decades and aren't professional fishermen. In the summer, they might occasionally go down into the river and catch one or two fish.

These days, the probability of hitting the target accurately with bamboo sticks is even lower. However, some lucky ones manage to poke a fish up after a dozen or so attempts. In the end, every household had a few fish stuck in their bamboo sticks.

Looking at the fish placed to the side, everyone's face was filled with smiles.

Great! Today they can finally have some meat.

Everyone was incredibly excited.

After Ji Yunshu and Aunt Wang reinforced their fishing nets, they didn't linger there.

They had everything prepared, and the fishing nets were tied up. Fish would automatically swim into the nets, essentially making it an automated fishing operation.

There was little point in them staying there; after catching two fish, each family carried them home.

As Ji Yunshu and her group left, Ji Yunshu made a point of checking the location of the fishpond.

She had previously divided the area into three fish ponds. Her original plan was to raise fish in one pond and to find a way to take out crayfish and crabs from her space to raise in the other two ponds.

But right now, because of all the trouble the miners and villagers have caused,

Most of the fish swam into her fishing nets, completely filling up the two nets she had originally intended to leave empty.

Ji Yunshu shook her head. She would just have to wait until Er Mao came tomorrow morning to figure out how to empty those two fishing nets.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to raise any of her crayfish and crabs. Fish are a minor issue; her crayfish and crabs are the real problem.

Considering that there were still people watching them, Ji Yunshu did not keep Aunt Wang and Wang Rong, and the group naturally separated.

Back home, Xiaolan couldn't wait to take a fish into the kitchen.

After a whole afternoon of fussing, everyone was hungry, so Chen went to the kitchen, followed by Xie Lin.

The old princess and Madam Li led the little dumpling into the main room, while Ji Yunshu and Xie Moyao squatted in the courtyard feeding the rabbits.

Ji Yunshu took out two little rabbits in total. A couple of days ago, she gave the two little rabbits a lot of carrots and green vegetables and stuffed them into the very back of their burrow.

Ji Yunshu craned her neck to look into the rabbit hutch. The carrots and bok choy she had put in were still there. The two little rabbits were very well-behaved and didn't make a mess of the hutch while eating the carrots.

Looking at the two fluffy little rabbits, Ji Yunshu became more and more satisfied.

Seeing the little rabbit in front of her, Ji Yunshu was reminded of the rabbit in her space.

She hadn't gone into her space to feed the rabbits for a while, and she wondered how the rabbits, crabs, and lobsters in the space were multiplying.

Looking around, there weren't many people around their house. Everyone else was busy fishing on the river, and Ji Yunshu also considered entering the space.

She pulled Xie Moyao into the main room, where Madam Li and the old princess were playing with the little dumpling. The little dumpling was chubby and fair-skinned. When it saw her and Xie Moyao come in, it reached out and clapped its hands, giggling and laughing at them.

Ji Yunshu stepped forward, took the little dumpling from him, and held him in her arms. Looking at him, she couldn't help but pinch his cheek. She then turned to look at Li Shi:

"Sister-in-law, I want to go into the space for a bit. Leave the little dumpling to me. I'll take him in and let him crawl around on the floor."

Her living room is very clean, and it is automatically cleaned every day. There is not a speck of dust on the floor, so she feels at ease letting her little one crawl around on the floor.

Li was delighted, nodded, and quickly said:

"Alright, alright, take him inside. Little Tuanzi loves playing in your space."

Before, whenever I took my little one into the space, he would crawl around like a curious baby.

It makes little noises and wants to touch and feel everything.

Li was very happy that Ji Yunshu could bring the little dumpling into the space to play.

After all, compared to the surrounding environment, she felt that the environment inside Ji Yunshu's space was better for Xiao Tuanzi to play in.
