Chapter 7 Picking up A Rabbit

Seeing that he was about to drink a bowl of hot egg soup, Feng Xixi hit Feng Yili on the hand with her chopsticks.

Before Feng Yili could get angry, Feng Xixi said, "You eat alone. What are we going to eat? And Mom, she worked so hard to cook. She hasn't eaten yet. Can't you slow down?"

Feng Yili angrily retracted his hand and muttered unhappily, "If I reduce my eating speed, you guys will finish it all. What's the point of Mother eating when she can just drink water?"

"Tongzi, why don't we stop transforming this guy and just kill him?"

The system immediately responded when it heard that.

[Host, although your eldest brother is a little weird, it's all because his family is poor and he hasn't been guided well since he was a child. That's why he is so selfish. He's not fundamentally bad.]

Feng Xixi shrugged. "Alright."

Mrs. Xia glanced at them and lowered her head in silence.

Feng Xixi said to Feng Yili, "In my opinion, you should stop eating. Go outside and eat shit in the pigsty."

Feng Yili clenched his fists so hard that cracking sounds could be heard. He really wanted to kill Feng Xixi.

Unfortunately, the wounds caused by Feng Xixi were still hurting.

Feng Ertian rolled his eyes and immediately suggested, "Why don't we divide the delicious food? Everyone can eat their food in the future. It's fair."

After all, he couldn't compete with Feng Yili, nor could he defeat Feng Xixi.

Mrs. Xia hurriedly said, "I think we should divide it."

After that, Mrs. Xia quickly divided the food into several parts. Feng Xixi had the most, while she had the least.

After the meal, everyone was full.

Feng Yili patted his stomach and walked out with satisfaction, burping.

Feng Ertian followed him out when he saw this.

Feng Xixi said lightly, "If you leave today, don't come back for dinner."

The two of them turned around and Feng Yili said disdainfully, "We've already cooked all the rice for you. Do you think you'll have anything to eat in the future?"

Feng Xixi raised her eyebrows. "As long as you listen to me, I promise you'll have a full meal at every meal."

With that, she wrapped two steamed buns with crumpled paper and put them into her purse. Feng Xixi said to Mrs. Xia, "Mother, I'm going to the mountain and will be back soon."

As soon as the Feng brothers, who were about to hang out, saw the white steamed bun in Feng Xixi's hand, they couldn't move their legs anymore.

Feng Xixi couldn't be bothered with them. She carried the basket on her back and was about to walk out.

Feng Yili and Feng Ertian looked at each other and were suddenly tempted.

They didn't want to go out with Feng Xixi, but they wanted to eat the steamed buns in Feng Xixi hands.

Mrs. Xia came out and said to them, "Why are you standing there? Go to the mountains with Xixi."

Since the third son of the Feng family had let his youngest daughter take charge, everyone in the family had to listen to her.

Feng Yili and Feng Ertian carried baskets and choppers on their backs before reluctantly following Feng Xixi up the mountain.

They came to the foot of the mountain. Feng Xixi glanced at them and said, "Each of you should get a bundle of firewood today. After chopping the firewood, we'll go pick wild vegetables, such as gray-feet vegetables, old cabbages, and cow-head vegetables, which can be picked up on seeing them"

According to the system's requirements, the three kinds of vegetables that could be picked at present could be exchanged for money through the system.

When Feng Yili heard what Feng Xixi said, he subconsciously retorted, "Why should I listen to you?"

Before he could finish his words, Feng Xixi took out two white steamed buns from her pocket, and one of them was handed to him.

Feng Yili quickly took it over and said, "It's up to you."

Feng Ertian who was also holding steamed buns like a treasure also said, "Xixi, Yili and I will listen to you."

Feng Xixi nodded lightly. "If you work hard, you'll be full. If you cheat, you'll starve."

After that, she took the lead in holding the chopper and walked to the brambles to cut firewood.

Feng Yili and Feng Ertian sniffed and licked the buns in their hands. In the end, they couldn't bear to eat them. After all, they had just finished eating and put the buns into their pockets before starting to cut firewood.

It was said that one had to rely on mountains and rivers to make a living. There were a lot of good things in the undulating mountains behind Pingshan Village.

Although Feng Xixi was still young, she was very efficient in her work. She waved the firewood chopper in her hand, and sawdust flew everywhere in the sound of chopping firewood.

It didn't take long for Feng Xixi to chop a bundle of solid firewood. She took the vines that had been tied up aside and quickly tied up the firewood.

When the two brothers of the Feng family saw that Feng Xixi had finished chopping a bundle of firewood in a short while, they were both stunned.

There were only a few pieces of firewood in front of them...

Feng Xixi glanced at them coldly, then took out a piece of clothing from the basket and tied it into a knot. After that, she prepared to look for wild vegetables.

Feng Ertian shrank his neck when Feng Xixi looked at him. He was afraid of being beaten by his younger sister.

Feng Ertian waited until Feng Xixi had gone far before he said in a low voice, "She can cut firewood so fast. It seems that my father has really taught her martial arts."

Feng Yili took out the steamed buns from his pocket and sniffed them. "Look, from time to time, a few steamed buns would come out. Do you think these steamed buns were also brought to her by Dad?"

Feng Ertian pondered for a moment and felt that it was possible.

Under the system prompt, it didn't take long for Feng Xixi to find about two kilograms of gray-footed vegetables, two and a half kilograms of old cauliflowers, and two more kilograms of beef-head vegetables. After selling them, she made a total profit of 25 copper coins.

She had 60 copper coins left, plus the current, which was 85 copper coins in total.

In this era, one copper coin was equivalent to one yuan in her era. 60 copper coins was enough to buy a quilt.

Winter was coming, so buying quilts and filling the stomachs became the most urgent thing at the moment.

Feng Xixi climbed up the tree and nimbly tossed and turned on the trunk. In a short while, she picked up a lot of chestnuts.

When she came down from the tree, she picked up the chestnuts on the ground and wrapped them in her old clothes.

Feng Yili and his brother had just chopped a bundle of firewood when they saw Feng Xixi walking over.

Feng Xixi was very dissatisfied with their efficiency. She frowned and said, "I let a snail chop faster than you."

Feng Yili and his brother felt insulted.

But looking at Feng Xixi and the large bundle of firewood at her feet, they could only shut their mouths resentfully.

"Alright, let's go look for wild vegetables together."

Hearing that Feng Xixi was making arrangements again, Feng Yili was unhappy. "We are tired, we need to rest."

Feng Ertian nodded frantically in agreement.

Feng Xixi said, "Fine, you can have a rest during dinner. You can eat after I finish eating."

The two of them rubbed their stomachs and were once again convinced.

Feng Xixi led the two of them to pick wild vegetables. Seeing that their movements were slow, and they were no sense of urgency, that made her like a landowner.

"You two pick some wild vegetables. I'll give you one copper coin per 2.5 kg. If you pick less, don't think about money, and I don't think it's necessary to eat the meal."

As soon as Feng Xixi finished speaking, the two brothers were stunned.

"What money? Can we exchange wild vegetables for money?"

"Yes."

As Feng Xixi spoke, she took out five copper coins from her pocket and spread them out in her palm.

This time, the two brothers were stunned. They didn't doubt where Feng Xixi got the money at all.

After all, they had only seen what money looked like in the hands of Mrs. Zhang.

"If I have money, I can buy meatballs."

Feng Yili immediately said, "I'll go pick it right away."

Under such a mechanism, the three of them actually picked more than 25 kilograms.

Feng Yili and Feng Ertian were panting from exhaustion, but the two did not complain at all. Instead, they looked at Feng Xixi expectantly.

Feng Xixi took out four copper coins from her pocket and gave them to Feng Yili, and then three copper coins for Feng Ertian. The two of them held the few copper coins in their hands, unable to believe that this was true.

Four or five copper coins was a huge sum of money for them.

Feng Xixi knew that they couldn't accept the fact that they were rich in such a short time, so she didn't bother to tell them.

"Is this really money?"

"It seems to be true."

The two of them conversed like fools.

Feng Xixi put all the wild vegetables in the basket and was ready to sell them on the street tomorrow.

She couldn't say that she had the system. If there was no other way, she could only push these things to her dead dad.

"How much money do you have, Feng Xixi. We'll pick them tomorrow," the two brothers said excitedly.

Feng Xixi said, "It doesn't matter how much I have. As long as you pick vegetables carefully, 2.5kg of vegetables can be exchanged for one copper coin."

Feng Ertian looked at Feng Xixi with burning eyes and said, "Xixi, did Dad give you the money?"

Feng Xixi said, "Why don't you go down and ask Dad?"

Feng Ertian was speechless.

The three siblings ate the steamed buns they brought along with the spring water on the mountain. Feng Xixi brought them to climb trees to look for bird eggs and pheasant eggs...

In the afternoon, they had found a lot of eggs.

The bird egg was smaller, and the pheasant egg was bigger.

"We have egg soup to eat when we get back tonight." Feng Yili couldn't help swallowing when he thought of the delicious egg soup.

"And these four copper coins. Tomorrow, I'm going to the market to buy... delicious food." Feng Yili hadn't been to the town for many years, so he didn't know what delicious food he could buy. He only knew that there was delicious food in the town.

At this moment, the system sent another prompt, saying that there was a dead rabbit around them.

Feng Xixi raised her hand and pointed in a direction, saying, "Let's go there and have a look."

Feng Yili and his brother actively followed behind Feng Xixi. It seemed that it was not bad to work for this girl.

As soon as the three of them made their way out of the thistles and thorns, they saw a big and fat rabbit not far away slamming into a big tree. In the next moment, the rabbit lay motionless on the ground.

Feng Yili and his brother were dumbfounded. How could this be?

Feng Xixi walked over calmly and picked up the rabbit that had just died.

Feng Yili asked, "Did the rabbit bump into a ghost?"

Feng Ertian said, "Do you think it's because our father knew that we had run out of rice that he showed up? But how did Feng Xixi know there was a rabbit here?"

"Dad must have told her. He's so biased," Feng Yili said unhappily.

Feng Xixi came over with the rabbit and said, "Let's go home and eat rabbit today."

Feng Yili and his brother drooled in an instant.

The three of them returned home with a bundle of firewood. When Mrs. Xia saw them, she quickly came up to help.

Feng Xixi's figure is petite, but her steps were steady. She was carrying firewood that was a few laps bigger than her, but she walked with great momentum.

The neighbors were surprised to see that Feng Yili and his brother were also working.

After putting down the firewood on the basket, Mrs. Xia saw Feng Xixi take out a fat rabbit from the basket.
