CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 069: TRULY A WARM-HEARTED GOOD NEIGHBOR.

Li Yuzhu sighed in her heart, this diet is even better than what she eats.

She is still eating grass!

Where is she supposed to find carrot bits and bean cake crumbs to feed the rabbits?

"Just these? Got it, thanks a lot." Li Yuzhu laughed heartily, waved at him, and walked down the mountain.

Mu Yuanxiu watched her walk away before turning and heading to his home on the South Mountain Slope.

Once home, he spread the herbs from his basket onto bamboo slats to dry and then went to the rabbit cages in the backyard.

After feeding the rabbits, Mu Yuanxiu picked up a clay basin and headed towards the cave on the North Hillside.

...

Liu the bricklayer and his two sons came carrying dry food and ate lunch at the foot of the mountain.

The rest of Prince Luling’s family followed Li Yuzhu back up the mountain to eat.

The Second Princess saw Li Yuzhu return and immediately said, "Third Sister, that neighbor from the South Mountain Slope came by just now."

Li Yuzhu asked in surprise, "What did he come for?"

The Second Princess replied excitedly, "I heard that we picked up a nest of rabbits, so he came to take a look. Oh, and he said that the little rabbits would freeze to death if raised like that, so he made a nest for them and brought some food for them."

Li Yuzhu was even more surprised.

She had casually asked how to raise rabbits, and that young man actually came to feed them himself?

Truly a warm-hearted neighbor.

Looks like we’re indebted again.

"Could he be fond of our rabbits?" The Xue Family member said coolly from the side.

"Sister-in-law, his family has plenty of rabbits, why would he fancy ours?" Li Yuzhu replied calmly.

The Xue Family member pursed her lips and turned her head away.

Li Yuzhu went to look at the rabbits, and sure enough, there was a thick layer of soft dry grass in the basket.

The rabbits were half-buried in the grass, their heads poking out, munching on the food in a nearby old clay basin, which consisted of crumbs of corn cakes mixed with shredded cabbage leaves and grass.

The third brother, Li Xing’an, walked over and quietly asked Li Yuzhu, "Third Sister, should we give him a rabbit so we don’t owe him a favor anymore?"

The Second Young Master agreed.

Li Yuzhu, however, asked them, "If he asks why you’re returning a rabbit, what would you say?"

The two of them, "..."

Li Yuzhu was speechless; wouldn’t that just give them away?

"Then what should we do?" Li Xing’an was worried.

The Second Young Master suggested, "How about giving him one to raise, and if we don’t take it back, it would be like repaying?"

Li Yuzhu said, "What if he really returns it after a few days?"

The Second Young Master, "..."

Li Yuzhu waved her hand, "Forget it, we’ll repay with something else when the time comes. Let’s not bother the rabbits."

The two thought for a moment and realized this was the only option.

After lunch, the family went down the mountain to help again.

The whole family worked together, and the house construction progressed quickly. By sunset, two walls of one room had been erected.

Seeing the progress, everyone was very happy.

The next day, the family repeated the previous day’s work at the mountain’s base.

Early on the third day, before Li Yuzhu could call them, the Great Princess and the Second Princess had already gotten up.

At this time, it was still dark.

Soon after, Third Brother Li Xing’an and the Second Young Master came out of the cave yawning.

In the distance, the rooster clucked for the first time.

Everyone quickly washed up by the light of the bonfire.

Besides selling rabbits, Li Yuzhu also sold herbs.

Over the past half month, she had dug up quite a few herbs and stored them in her space.

The herbs dug up by ordinary people need to be dried before storing.

But with her space, the herbs dried naturally as soon as they were put inside.

Except for a small portion used as payment for borrowing medical equipment, most of the herbs belonged to her.
