For poor farmers, filling their bellies is the number one priority, delicious taste comes second.

“The villagers themselves may not gain much from eating this, but it can be sold in the city. Isn’t it better to use the money to buy rice and flour? As long as it doesn’t interfere with farming, taking some time to collect these and sell them can help supplement the family income,” Wei Ruo offered.

At Wei Ruo’s words, expressions of excitement and anticipation crossed everyone’s faces.

Yes! They could sell to the noble officials!

Shi Dayou was startled awake, and then asked Wei Ruo in surprise: “Master Xu, why are you being so good to us? If you hadn’t told us, you could have quietly picked them for yourself and sold them in the city.”

“These things grow on your mountain. If I quietly took them to sell, that would be theft. But if they were on an unclaimed deserted mountain, I wouldn’t be so polite,” replied Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo loved money, but she had her principles and would not stoop to stealing.

After hearing Wei Ruo’s words, everyone felt an enhanced admiration for her.

Shi Dayou said excitedly, “Master Xu, you really are a blessing to our village!

We are so lucky to have met you!”

The other villagers also chimed in:

“Yes, yes!”

“Master Xu, you really are a wonderful person!”

“Master Xu, our village will never forget this great kindness!

Wei Ruo smiled and said: “Please, don’t say that. Let’s work together to make sure we won’t go hungry this year. We should focus on making sure everyone is well-fed and warm, and live our lives well.”

The villagers nodded in agreement.

The first day of April, a rest day.

Wei Ruo did not need to go to Tianqin Garden for lessons, so she planned to

As she was about to leave, she was stopped.

Noticing Lin Fang as the person who stopped her, Wei Ruo knew that Wei Jinyi was looking for her. So she changed her direction and followed Lin Fang to the edge of the city.

As expected, she found Wei Jinyi in the bamboo grove.

He was dressed in a white robe, quietly standing there. The green surroundings contrasted with his white attire, creating a gentle and elegant scene.

“Second brother.” Upon seeing Wei Jinyi, Wei Ruo was in high spirits.

Wei Jinyi looked at the approaching Wei Ruo with a tender gaze.

“What brings you here today, second brother?” Wei Ruo asked.

“I have to leave Taizhou prefecture for a while,” Wei Jinyi replied.

“So, you’re saying goodbye to me in advance?” asked Wei Ruo.

“Yes.”

“Have you taken care of the matter you mentioned?” Wei Ruo asked again.

“It’s not fully settled, but there’s been some progress.”

“In that case, please take care of yourself, second brother,” said Wei Ruo.

She didn’t try to stop him, nor was she upset about his departure.

She might feel a little reluctant, but she knew that she and her second brother both had their own lives to live, and their own things to deal with.

Just knowing that there was such a bond in this world was enough.

“You too, take good care of yourself and don’t overwork yourself,” warned Wei
