Chapter 13 Selling Vegetables (1)_1

```

That very night, a heavy rain began to pour down incessantly, which lasted three days and four nights.

Under the careful attention of everyone, Grandfather Li's condition greatly improved. After a few days, he was already able to stand up and walk around slowly. He was a grateful man who knew his life had been saved by the Mo Family. Although he didn't say too much to express his gratitude, he firmly remembered their kindness in his heart.

Originally, Mo Yan and the others had planned to continue their journey after the rain, but meeting Liyan and her grandfather, who were also on their way to Jing City, they had to change their plan. They decided to wait until Grandfather Li fully recovered before setting off, so both families could look out for each other on the road.

Today, the sun shone brightly, heralding another fine day!

Aside from Liyan, who had to take care of her grandfather, the rest of them were not idle either. Early in the morning, Mo Qingze went out to inquire about a shortcut to Jing City, Xin Er and Zhenzhen got up early to collect firewood, and Mo Yan, under the pretext of looking for food, arrived at a deserted place and slipped into the Space.

The dense Spiritual Energy hit her face, and the aroma of vegetables filled her nostrils, her eyes met with the golden hues of rice and corn. Every time she saw the thriving scene inside the Space, it would fill Mo Yan with joy.

For the past half a month, she had planted three batches of cabbages, with the newly grown ones already being consumed. The tomatoes had been rotated twice. This time period did have tomatoes, and when she first brought them out, they didn't attract much attention. The radishes were not bad either. They tasted better than cabbages when boiled.

Thanks to the vegetables from the Space, their family never went hungry again. Compared to their condition when they had first arrived, not only did they not become thinner from traveling, they had even gained a little weight, and their complexions had also improved.

However, eating boiled vegetables without salt or oil nearly made Mo Yan vomit. Finally, coming across a small town, she planned to sell the vegetables and grains from the Space in exchange for oil and salt, as consuming neither for an extended period was not good for one's health.

As for her always being able to find food, it might fool the younger ones, but certainly not the adults. When she first produced a cabbage, Mo Qingze became suspicious. Later, when she brought out tomatoes, radishes, and even corn, he wasn't too surprised. Yet since he never asked about it, Mo Yan also didn't take the initiative to talk about it. Thus, father and daughter tacitly kept this secret to themselves.

Mo Yan gathered a good amount of cabbages, tomatoes, and corn. Since there were no radishes this season, she didn't bother picking them. As for the rice that was ripe for harvest, without tools for threshing and husking, she couldn't take it out to exchange for money, nor could she allow her family to enjoy rice meals.

After placing the cabbages, tomatoes, and corn into an old basket she had found, Mo Yan carried it out of the Space and hurried toward Longshi Town.

Meeting some peasant women from nearby villages heading to the market on the road, Mo Yan subtly blended in with them and struck up a conversation with a kind-looking old lady in her fifties who was carrying pears. Blessed with good looks and a sweet mouth, although the women found her unfamiliar, they didn't make much fuss. The group quickly hit it off and chattered away as they approached the gates of Longshi Town.

The Government Officials manning the gate today were the same ones who had troubled Liyan and her grandfather a few days earlier. They charged a Crossing Fee of Ten Wen Money from each out-of-town person who didn't have Longshi Town's Road Sign while letting the locals through without charge.

On seeing this, Mo Yan's palms began to sweat. She reached into the basket, pretending to search for the road sign, but of course found nothing. She feigned panic, her voice quivering with a cry, "What should I do, what should I do? I've lost my road sign, my father will beat me to death when I get back!"

The old lady in front of her heard the commotion, turned around with concern, and said, "Child, don't panic. Look for it carefully again."

Mo Yan nodded earnestly and resumed her search in the old basket, naturally finding nothing. To add realism to her act, she even managed to squeeze out two tears, looking utterly pitiable.
