Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

All the people saw was a chubby marmot being held in Zhou Yanshen's hand.

Shen Ruolan immediately recognized it: "This is a native American marmot. Its meat is firm and its fat is thick. It's good for stewing or braising."

The others didn't think that much about it; they only knew two words: "It's edible."

"Quick, it looks like they've dug a hole! There are so many inside! Get ready to catch them!"

"It's likely that an earthquake caused a collapse, burying their burrows along with the land here."

"There's a lot inside, here you go!"

Su Wanqing took in quite a few, and they took out many more; some were almost dead, while others were still lively.

These marmots are so plump and chubby, they make your mouth water.

Anyway, we don't have this thing in China, but this stuff is definitely edible, so we won't go hungry today!

Little Arendt looked on with delight: "Oh, thank God! To find so much here is wonderful! The meat may not look very appetizing, but it'll fill our stomachs!"

Su Wanqing smiled slightly: "Not tasty? How could it not taste good? It's not tasty because the cooking method is wrong. Let Chef Liang braise it, and this marmot meat will be even more fragrant than pork. The fur can also be tanned into various fur products, truly nothing is wasted."

What a huge harvest! Zhou Yanshen wiped out the entire nest of over a hundred plump marmots. Even the special forces went in and searched several times to make sure there was nothing left.

Ding Xiaomei confirmed several times that there were no wild yams left to dig up before everyone happily headed back with their bounty.

When they reached the mushroom-picking area halfway there, they found Victor leading dozens of people who were also picking mushrooms.

However, they didn't know which mushrooms were poisonous and which weren't; they just picked all the mushrooms that Su Wanqing didn't want.

The special forces captain who was gathering mushrooms saw Su Wanqing and her group arrive and immediately came over to report:

"We were halfway through our mushroom picking when they arrived. They talked for a long time, but we didn't understand what they were saying. Anyway, they started picking mushrooms with us."

Zhou Yanshen nodded: "Don't worry about them, let's go back. We found a lot of marmots and wild yams over there."

Zhou Yanshen didn't need to say anything more; even Victor looked over.

Seeing that each person had several sacks that were completely full, and that the animals moving around inside the sacks were clearly alive, I was immediately filled with envy.

Little Arendt, sitting on the stretcher, said smugly, "Oh, who is this? Dear Victor, you know how to come out looking for food, huh? But do you know that some poisonous mushrooms can kill you?"

Victor gritted his teeth, so angry at the sight of little Arendt's smug expression that he felt like vomiting blood.

But they haven't eaten all day, haven't caught many rabbits, and what's worse, there are no more insects. They don't even know which wild vegetables are edible and which aren't. They're starving.

But he couldn't bring himself to beg Arendt!

He just sneered, "Little Arendt, don't make things up just because you saw us stealing your mushrooms! Anyway, the Chinese have also collected a lot of mushrooms. If they have any special methods for processing them, I'll just follow your lead." He figured that all the mushrooms looked pretty much the same, and since the Chinese dared to pick and eat them, so could they!

Little Arendt shrugged, and together with Su Wanqing and the Mushroom Squad, everyone returned laden with their spoils and rode away triumphantly.

Victor waved his hand: "Let's go, follow them."

"Boss, they killed so many animals, are we still going?"

"Go to hell, you idiot! They can't possibly leave anything behind where they've fought. Going there again would be a waste of our time. Those Chinese are like locusts; they loot everything they pass through, even the weeds and wild vegetables. What do you think would be left? Next time, come out with them earlier!"

The men exchanged glances, wondering why they hadn't followed them earlier—hadn't they gone to find food for this guy?

"Yes……"

Victor then led his men back with the Chinese, wanting to see how the Chinese would handle the mushrooms.

Once they were some distance from Victor, little Arend said earnestly, "Oh Su, I have a request. May I buy this food?"

"Buy?" Su Wanqing asked, somewhat surprised.

It seems like little Arend wouldn't even look down on these things, since Americans don't usually eat them.

Arendt Jr. explained, "That's right, the Crawford family's mines across the street are gone, and the miners across the street have lost their jobs."

"This entire mining area will be mine from now on, so I want to recruit the other miners as well. This way, I can not only give the other miners a way out, but also recruit them, give them some money, and make them dig faster so they can go back home. I feel that the old man really needs me..."

If he didn't go back soon, he didn't know if the old man would even survive.

If he dies, his dozen or so stepmothers, brothers, and sisters will divide up his property, and he'll be finished.

Su Wanqing felt that little Arend had finally come to his senses: "Why are you talking so formally about buying things? We're best friends. Your idea is great; everyone wants to get out of here as soon as possible. This little bit of food is nothing; just take it."

Even if they sold this food, it wouldn't fetch a few hundred dollars. Besides, Arendt Jr. would still have to pay a hefty fine for it. Arendt Jr. has already spent tens of millions of dollars hiring bodyguards; this little bit of food isn't worth worrying about.

"Oh, Sue, that's wonderful!"

The others didn't seem to have any problem with Su Wanqing sharing the food.

To be honest, if Su Wanqing hadn't brought them out to find food today, they definitely wouldn't have found anything.

There were so many things in that mud pit, who knew where the marmot's burrow was? You could dig for days and still not find it, but Su Wanqing could spot it with just a flick of her finger. So everyone tacitly agreed on how to distribute it.

And so, everyone returned to the camp.

The campsite has also changed drastically.

Professional matters should be handled by professionals, so the inspection team directly built more than a dozen rainproof sheds.

Since they couldn't sleep on the ground, they raised the floor and made wooden plank beds, then gave all the old sheds to the other miners.

However, many of the other miners are now so hungry that they are lying on the ground unable to move.

Deputy Commander Zhao was about to say something, but when he saw the team members carrying a lot of supplies, he knew that Su had found something good on her trip.

Last night she had already looted everything in the area, but she went out with some people and found so much more. No need to worry anymore!

Zhou Yanshen opened the package and reported on their haul. With so many supplies, they could eat as much as they wanted without any problem. The other miners watched with longing, swallowing their saliva.
