On the following day, Pei Qin got up and cooked a pot of porridge, looking at the yellowing hills she sighed twice, "It seems I have no choice but to fight with them."
Lady Fang woke with a start, seeing that Pei Qin had already finished the cooking, she called San Ya, Si Ya, and Pei Wendong to get up.
After washing their faces with cold water, they took turns using the bowl to have breakfast.
As Si Ya watched San Ya go to scrub the pot, she asked Pei Qin, who was finished eating and had set aside her bowl, "Are we still going to dig up bamboo shoots?"
"No digging! Don't even bring it up! Just say we bought these things with the money from selling wild persimmons and eggs, and we only have a few pieces of wen money left!" Pei Qin said, glancing at San Ya and Pei Wendong.
"Why leave just a few pieces of wen money!?" Si Ya asked discontentedly.
"Do you want to hand over everything?" Pei Qin gave her a look.
Si Ya pursed her lips and said no more.
