Returning to Aunt Wang's house, Yu Songyu's heart raced incessantly, but this also provided her with a plan for revenge against Chen Dexing's family. Since she couldn't confront them head-on and didn't want to get embroiled in bloodshed, she decided to take a more indirect approach.
Yu Songyu thought to herself that if she had felt scared and nervous during that earlier scene, then Chen Dexing should feel the same way, right?
As she slept soundly, the crowing of a rooster woke her up. Aunt Wang's chicken coop housed a whole bunch of chickens, but there was only one rooster. Surrounded all day by a flock of little chickens, the big rooster strutted around as if it ruled the world. Every morning, it crowed at least half an hour earlier than the other roosters in the village.
Yu Songyu had long found it displeasing and vowed that one day, she would catch it and cook it up.
After breakfast, Yu Songyu set off with Xu Zhuzhen, carrying several bags of dried goods as they rode an ox cart to the town. Along the way, they encountered many villagers who greeted her.
"Yu Zhiqing, what are you doing out so early?"
"Hey Yu Zhiqing, what's in those bags?"
With heavy snow blocking the mountains for the past couple of days, everyone had been idle after breakfast, wandering around the village and gossiping about each other's lives.
"Uncle! Aunt Wang! I'm heading to town! These bags are filled with dried goods; do you have any at home?"
Yu Songyu was friendly; as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as helpful as close neighbors. Since she was going to live here, it was necessary to maintain good relationships with those around her. Moreover, since they were curious enough to ask, there was no need for her to hide anything.
Since there was a possibility of collecting mountain goods, it was better for them to know today rather than having to ask each household later on.
On this trip to town, Yu Songyu felt that bringing Xu Zhuzhen along was a wise decision. Without Xu Zhuzhen's help, moving those bags would have been quite a struggle for her small frame.
As soon as they arrived in town, Yu Songyu ordered a large bowl of steaming Dan Dan Noodles for Xu Zhuzhen.
"Li Xiu Zhen, you eat first; I need to take care of something!"
"What? Just eat your noodles and go later!"
"You go ahead; I'm not hungry. I have a friend over there; I’ll just grab something from him and be right back!"
Yu Songyu intended to retrieve the cotton shoes and knee pads she had bought earlier from her space to sell.
She seemed to find no better reason to leave, so she had to create a friendship out of thin air.
When Yu Songyu returned, she saw Xu Zhuzhen sitting by the table, staring longingly at the empty bowl that had been cleaned out completely. She knew that this girl had a big appetite; if it came down to it, she could probably eat as much as an adult man.
Yu Songyu sat down and placed her bundle on the chair beside her.
"Boss, another bowl of noodles, please!"
Xu Zhuzhen initially thought that Yu Songyu ordered the bowl for herself, but when the noodles arrived at the table, they were pushed in front of her instead.
"Li Xiu Zhen, can you help me finish this bowl of noodles? I suddenly have no appetite!"
"Huh? How can you not have an appetite for such delicious noodles?"
Xu Zhuzhen's voice was quite rough; if one were to close their eyes and listen, they would surely think it was a man's voice.
"Ah, I don’t know. It happens often; I just can't eat a bite right now. Li Xiu Zhen, please help me out and don’t waste food!"
Yu Songyu looked at Xu Zhuzhen with sincere eyes, her tone filled with both grievance and pleading.
"So, should I eat it for you?"
Xu Zhuzhen stared at the steaming bowl of noodles on the table and couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Yes, please help me out!"
Yu Songyu's eyes were watery; who could resist such innocence?
Xu Zhuzhen moved the bowl closer and began to eat heartily.
Seeing her enjoy the meal so much made Yu Songyu happy as well. In this era, it wasn't easy for ordinary folks to have a decent meal.
In just two or three minutes, Xu Zhuzhen finished the large bowl of noodles and smiled contentedly at Yu Songyu.
