Lin Ci said, “You might not believe me, but Ling Sheng made potato noodles made of potato clay.”

Mo Ning’s eyes widened instantly. “Did she make so many dishes herself?”

Lin Ci said, “If she were given the ingredients, she would be able to cook a potato feast with 108 dishes for you.”

Mo Ning thought, “D*mn, I miscalculated!”

She had initially wanted to see them make a fool of themselves, but she had already reached the standard of a state chef. What kind of joke was that?

However, Lin Ci was rather optimistic about it. Smiling wickedly, he said, “Don’t you think that’s more interesting? Those over there can’t finish eating everything, right?”

Mo Ning’s eyes lit up as she nodded sneakily. Then, she clapped her hands and cheered. “That’s true, this is what it means to show the contrast in life!”

When the meal came to an end, Ling Sheng shot Ji Fanchen and Shi Lingyu a look before she put down her bowl and said, “I’m full. I’ll wash the dishes since I’m finished!”

Ji Fanchen understood. He put down his bowl immediately and wiped his mouth slowly. “I’m full.”

Shi Lingyu put down her bowl and swallowed the last mouthful of potato. “I’m full too!”

Cheng Ye was a half-grown child, and this was the right time for him to eat. When he saw his brothers and sisters putting down their bowls, he looked at his bowl of potato noodles with a dumbfounded expression. The food had been scooped by Sister Sheng earlier. One can’t bully a child like that!

Upon seeing his expression, Ji Fanchen tried his best to suppress his laughter, maintaining his cold and aloof demeanor in the meantime. “Xiao Er, this has been hard on you.”

Ling Sheng and Shi Lingyu also got up and looked at him. “Xiao Er, remember to get into position when you’re done.”

Cheng Ye thought, Should I cry for you to see?

Mo Ning nodded satisfactorily. Not bad, not bad. She had the potential to bully the masses.

Cheng Ye was a delicate and fair child. One look and one could tell he was asking to be bullied.

Ling Sheng might look like a fairy, but none of them were as scheming as her. She even started bullying her younger brother.

The key factor was that she had leadership skills and she was the backbone of the team. Even though Shi Lingyu and Ji Fanchen were older than her, they would definitely obey her no matter what happened.

Cheng Ye finished the meal and packed up bitterly, taking everything to the well to wash the dishes.

The well was a water well, but it was quite strenuous to carry buckets of water up.

Ji Fanchen walked over, grabbed the well rope, and helped him fetch water. He then smiled. “Move over there. I’ll help you.”

Cheng Ye’s big black grape-like eyes looked at him gratefully, seemingly on the verge of tears. “Brother Chen, you’re the best.”

Ji Fanchen’s heart stirred, his brows furrowing unnoticeably. Somehow, this form of address sounded a little... weird!

Ling Sheng squatted on the side and watched the duo wash the dishes. By her side stood Shi Lingyu, who was planning her next move. “Let’s eat four pounds of potatoes tonight. I’ll finish half of it myself. I’ll dig for potatoes tomorrow too. If we have to dig up 400 pounds of potatoes, we should do it in a day.”

Cheng Ye looked crestfallen, but he did not dare object. It was the truth, and he was hungry. “Okay.”

Ji Fanchen said, “Let me dig up some potatoes!”

“He’s not the only one going. I’ll go with him while we dig for potatoes. Sister Yu and you will be waiting at home for the drop-off mission.”

“Our top priority now is to earn money. The environment is not good, and we still have to live here for half a month. There’s no mosquito fragrance in the hot summer, and we can’t survive without a fan. Meat and vegetables are crucial too. We can’t survive without food, rice, oil, and salt. Everything costs money.” Ling Sheng analyzed the situation.

“I agree with Sheng Sheng.” Shi Lingyu raised her hand in agreement.

“Okay.” Ji Fanchen nodded.

Cheng Ye wanted to say that he agreed too.

Ling Sheng added, “Besides, he’s still growing and eating a lot. We can’t starve him!”

Cheng Ye did not know if she was concerned about him or if she despised him for eating too much. He washed the dishes silently, feeling bitter.
