After looking at the goods, Ye Jiu quickly sent a message, “We’ve got enough fruit trees now.”

Ye Jiu wondered if the entire forest had been relocated here, considering the variety and the staggering number of over two thousand trees–it was a bit frightening.

Then there were the fruits, all stored in boxes piled up in the storage compartments, probably enough to fill several rooms.

Thinking about it, since their trade began, it seemed that La Sike didn’t really understand the value of these items. As long as Ye Jiu wanted them and he had them, he would give them as much as he could; thus, Ye Jiu felt quite guilty for taking so much advantage.

Moreover, considering Suishang who was seized, she sincerely felt that trade was easy, but true friends were hard to come by.

Looking at her possessions, most were acquired from La Sike, while all the medicinal supplies were provided by La Sike.

Knowing they were prone to injuries during hunting, Ye Jiu kept some medicinal supplies and sent the rest to La Sike, including half of the weapons she got from Suishang.

She also decided that when time permitted, she would visit the town and procure some items for La Sike and also needed to clear out some of the fruit from her space.

Only after sending the weapons did Ye Jiu remember that since Suishang was punished, he had not stopped sending her messages, easily amounting to over a thousand.

Ye Jiu opened the last few messages, and the tone of weary exasperation came through, “You brat, give me back my weapons…”

One after another, many messages were just that sentence. Ye Jiu simply shut it down and decided, if Suishang wanted his weapons back that badly, it would only be right to make him wait a few more days, otherwise she would not do justice to the indignation she suffered on his account.

Ye Jiu took out some cherries, washed them, and had Ye Qingzhi deliver some to both the main and secondary households.

All the adults from both families had gone to work in the fields, but Ye Qinghua came over and blurted out, “Auntie, aren’t these cherries supposed to ripen in another month? How come you have them now, and, gosh, they’re so big and red like gems, I almost don’t want to eat them.”

“Apparently, these were picked in the deep mountains and ripen earlier. I just got lucky to buy them,” Ye Jiu made up an excuse and added, “Go ahead and eat, there’s a whole basket full of them here.”

In the early days of March, the only fruit that could be offered were cherries, but since they weren’t ripe yet, she had to tell a little lie.

“Oh, then I won’t be polite, Auntie.” At this time, fruits were scarce, and snacks were even scarcer, girls always loved that sweet and sour taste, so Ye Qinghua couldn’t hold back her cravings.

Besides, these cherries looked so ripe and large, unlike anything she had ever seen before, and their taste was undoubtedly delightful.

“Help yourself,” Ye Jiu gestured to the basket full on the table.

At noon, Old Man Ye and Mrs. He came back, the lunch was the leftover chicken from last night, two chickens were indeed too much, so both the main and secondary families ended up having leftovers.

After lunch, they were supposed to return to the fields, but Ye Jiu pulled Mrs. He aside to persuade, “Dad, Mom, why don’t you two rest at home? I’ve hired someone to take care of the fieldwork, and it’s not costing much. Why bother going through that hardship?”

Old Man Ye pondered for a moment, then said to Mrs. He, “Xiaojiu is right, you just stay home and rest. However, someone needs to watch over the fields, I can’t stay idle at home.”

“Go on, then.” Mrs. He waved her hand, finally relieved from the hard fieldwork, thinking about it made her heart feel delighted.
