The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

After the chestnuts were cooked, Su Qianqian's whole family sat around the table and ate them with great relish.

The villagers at the foot of the mountain, who were digging up tree and grass roots, were nearby and could smell the sweet aroma.

With the entire village eating tree roots, the villagers have become extremely sensitive to aromas.

It was obvious that the smell was coming from the courtyard of the Su family's third house.

Xiao Bao ate until his belly was round and full: "It's so delicious! Sister, are there any chestnuts left in the mountains?"

"Don't worry, there's enough for you to eat."

Su Bing thought about how his daughter had found several chestnut trees in the deep mountains today, and the baskets she carried down the mountain contained only a small portion of the fallen fruit; there were many more in the mountains.

"Daughter, I need to discuss something with you. Many people in the village have helped us, and I can't just watch them starve to death. How about we take the villagers to the mountains to pick chestnuts?"

Xiao Bao thought to himself: Aren't adults the ones in charge in the village? Why does Dad ask my sister when something happens? It seems my sister is even more capable than the adults.

Su Qianqian nodded: "Sure."

A large portion of the chestnuts have fallen to the ground, and they will rot if not picked up in time. They are a seasonal fruit, so it's better to harvest them as soon as possible.

Su Qianqian gave her father a heads-up beforehand, "But let me make it clear beforehand that the mountains are dangerous. Those who go there are responsible for their own lives. If anything happens, don't blame us."

Aunt Li was deeply grateful for Qianqian's kindness, so she came to Qianqian's house every day to help with whatever she could. Just as she entered the yard, she was given a boiled chestnut.

Aunt Li's eyes lit up after tasting it. "This is really good stuff!"

She heard that Qianqian found it deep in the mountains and thought that Qianqian was really amazing, always finding good things every time she went into the mountains.

Unfortunately, she was too embarrassed to ask to go with them. The mountains were dangerous, and if she went along, Qian would have to take special care of her family's safety.

Su Qianqian carried back two large baskets of chestnuts, and there was still one and a half baskets left to be peeled.

Aunt Li, a quick-witted person, immediately sat down to help peel the chestnuts, exclaiming, "These things have green shells and thorns on the outside, they're very prickly. No one would have thought that the inside is edible. Qian is so knowledgeable."

We peeled them until it was completely dark, and finally we finished.

Aunt Li rubbed her aching back, stood up to say goodbye, and said, "Oh, I'm going back now."

Su Qianqian picked up a small bowl of chestnuts and forcefully stuffed it into Aunt Li's hands.

Aunt Li declined, saying, "Qian girl, I've felt ashamed to have received your rice and wild boar meat. I came here today specifically to lend you a hand. Don't mind that I'm clumsy; I'm all better now, but you can't give me anything more."

"Auntie, take this quickly. There's no such thing as someone working for free. I'd like to ask you for a favor. When you go back to the village, everyone will definitely surround you and ask about the chestnuts. If they want to pick chestnuts, could you please pass on my conditions?"

Aunt Li blushed. She really wanted to pick chestnuts, but she was too embarrassed to ask, since she had already taken advantage of Qianqian's family a lot.

"Aunt Li, my conditions are: First, the mountains are dangerous, and you are responsible for your own life and death. Second, the villagers who come with you to the mountains must be able to climb trees. Although life and death are not our concern, we don't want to see anyone being eaten by wild animals. Only those whose tree climbing skills pass my test can come with me to the deep mountains."

When Aunt Li returned home, she was indeed stopped by the villagers at the village entrance.

"Aunt Li, what did you bring back from Qian's house? It smells really nice."

In a village where everyone eats tree roots, anyone who manages to get some food will attract a lot of attention.

Su Qianqian and her father carried back a lot of green, thorny fruits today, which was seen by many people digging for tree roots at the foot of the mountain.

They were just too embarrassed to go to Qianqian's house to see her, but everyone knew that Aunt Li went to Qianqian's house to help out every day, so they thought that Aunt Li must know the situation. Therefore, they waited at the village entrance for Aunt Li to come over.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a kind of fruit called chestnut." Aunt Li gave everyone a chestnut kernel with the thorns removed, and a small bowl was almost half gone in no time. It was such a waste.

Everyone tried the raw chestnuts; they were sweet and refreshing, and tasted quite good.

This stuff is very filling; if you could bring a basket of it home, you wouldn't starve for at least a month.

The villagers secretly marveled, thinking that Su Bing's daughter was simply a genius, managing to find such a treasure in the mountains.

Many people are tempted.

Someone asked, "Aunt Li, do you think Qian will lead us to find the chestnut tree?"

Aunt Li thought to herself, "Qian Ya was right. Sure enough, the villagers want to go chestnut picking."

"Listen to me, everyone. Qian is not a selfish person. She said that if you want to go to the mountains to pick chestnuts, she can take you to the chestnut trees, but there are two conditions."

The villagers' eyes lit up, all waiting for Aunt Li to reveal the conditions.

"Qian has two conditions: first, she can't be blamed if there's any danger in the deep mountains; second, she must be able to climb trees skillfully and pass Qian's test before she can go to the mountains to pick chestnuts."

The villagers were overjoyed; neither of the two conditions was unreasonable.

This is great for people who can already climb trees.

It doesn't matter if you can't climb trees; this skill is easy to learn.

So late at night, the villagers were all busy learning how to climb trees.

If someone from another village came, they would definitely think that the people of Lotus Village had gone mad.

The next day, Lotus Village was still bustling with activity.

The villagers are all diligently learning to climb trees, but most of the tree bark in the village has been peeled off, making the trees very smooth and difficult to climb.

Fang Cheng was on leave today. When he returned to the village, he felt that something was very wrong.

The entire village was bewitched, climbing trees, creating a unique and beautiful scene.

Have the villagers gone mad?

Fang Cheng found it increasingly strange; he had only been gone for a few days, yet the entire village had become odd.

Fang Cheng said to Uncle Zhang, who was climbing the tree, "Uncle Zhang, the bark has all been peeled off, it's very slippery, be careful not to fall."

Uncle Zhang was thirty-five years old, in his prime. He felt that Fang Cheng's words were looking down on him, so he retorted, "Get lost! You can't control what I do, climbing trees and farting."

Fang Cheng, the only student in the village to pass the imperial examination, was very angry after being scolded by Uncle Zhang.

Back home, she quickly asked her younger sister, "Yingxue, what's going on? Why is everyone in the village climbing trees?"

"Brother, you don't know, it's all Su Qianqian's doing. She made the villagers practice climbing trees, and then took them to the mountains to find some delicious fruit."

Fang Cheng was quite surprised: When did Su Qianqian become so influential in the village?

It seems we really underestimated that girl. He's already a young master, yet his influence in the village is still less than that of Su Qianqian. It's simply outrageous!

Fang Yingxue adjusted the pale yellow camellia in her hair and continued, "A selfish person like Old Madam Su should never have separated the Third Branch of the family; she should have continued to drink the blood of the Third Branch."

Back when the two families were engaged, Fang Yingxue loved to visit the Su family, simply because Old Madam Su was the one who loved to beat and scold Su Qianqian.

Watching Su Qianqian get beaten is Fang Yingxue's greatest pleasure.

It's not interesting to see it now.

Moreover, Su Qianqian put on new clothes as soon as she separated from the family. Previously, Fang Yingxue was the only one in the entire village who wore new clothes.

Fang Cheng was very surprised. After hearing his sister's words, he realized that the girl had actually separated from the Su family.

Damn it, he really hoped that Su Qianqian would stay in the old house and be tormented by the old lady, but he didn't expect that the third branch of the Su family would be separated in such a short time.

Fang Cheng's mother, Madam Sun, sighed and said, "My son, you have no idea how infuriating it is. After the third branch of the Su family separated from the family, it was as if they had a cheat code. They eat well, dress well, and have meat to eat every day."

"Moreover, the Green Bamboo Gang, who were supposed to cause them trouble, aren't coming anymore. We should have found a way to stop them from splitting off from the Su family."

Fang Cheng knew that the Green Bamboo Gang had been destroyed.

Who would have thought that a gang of thugs who had been entrenched in Qinghe County for more than ten years would be wiped out by the government overnight?

One can't help but sigh that the brat was really lucky. She finally found a gang of thugs in Qinghe County who could deal with her, but they were all arrested by the government troops from the prefecture.

He asked Tang Yuerao what happened, but Tang Yuerao didn't know either.

Is it just a coincidence? Or is someone helping that brat behind the scenes?

Sun complained to her son, "Son, you used to be a scholar who passed the imperial examination. The villagers used to look up to me, but now that the third branch of the Su family has separated, the villagers are all trying to curry favor with them and no one pays any attention to us anymore."

Fang Cheng was already upset that the villagers completely ignored him when he returned to the village, and Sun's words made him feel even more bitter.

"Mother, don't worry, I will soon be engaged to Tang Yuerao. The county magistrate treats Yuerao, his niece, like his own daughter. When I become the county magistrate's prospective son-in-law, the villagers will definitely turn around and fawn over us. That brat Su Qianqian won't be in the limelight for long."

Su Qianqian, who was picking chestnuts in the mountains, sneezed. Someone must be cursing her.

Su Qianqian brought Aunt Li with her when she went into the mountains this time, but not any other villagers, because Aunt Li had climbed a tree for her to see early in the morning.

Although the requirement to be able to climb trees is indeed a bit funny, her original intention was good, and she wanted to give the villagers more protection when they encountered wild animals.

We can't just put people into our space whenever we encounter danger. What if there's a national advisor or something in the Great Qi Dynasty who thinks she's a monster and takes her in?

The secrets of this space must be kept.

She checked the space today and found that the things planted there did not grow faster, but they were growing very well.

The orchids I found in the mountains had wilted leaves, but after being planted in the space, their leaves turned emerald green and looked especially beautiful.

Therefore, this space should have a healing effect on plants.

In the future, the healing effect will surely bring her huge benefits.
