“…No, I can carry it.” It was just that he couldn’t carry it all at once as she did.

Suddenly, there was a sound from the room, and soon, Li Hehua came out of the room.

“Are you back?”

Li Hehua’s voice wasn’t loud, probably because she was afraid of waking up the people sleeping at home.

“Yes.” Xue Yan and Jiang Yue also responded in a low voice.

“Look at me, I was planning to wait for you, but I fell asleep.” Li Hehua quickly walked over. “It’s late. You’re boiling water, right? Come, come, I’ll do it. I’ll do it.”

“It’s done,” said Xue Yan.

“He also helped me bring the water to my room.” Jiang Yue added.

Xue Yan’s expression was a bit complicated.

Li Hehua didn’t notice it either. “I see. That’s good, that’s good. You guys should go to bed. Don’t worry about this place. I’ll clean it up.”

“Alright,” he said. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both agreed.

…

The next day, when Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went to her eldest uncle’s house again, there were many people surrounding the door, all looking at the good oil that her eldest uncle’s family had squeezed out.

“You really extracted it out?”

“Why didn’t you do it out earlier? We’ve already sold all the seeds!”

“Ah, ah, we’ve suffered a huge loss!”

“Qingshu, Qingshu, you were right yesterday. This is great, this is great. If it wasn’t for you, I would have sold these seeds yesterday and made a loss.”

Some people were overjoyed, some were regretful, and some were frustrated. Anyway, the scene was extremely lively.

Only Chief Lu was filled with regret and joy. “We shouldn’t have sold it yesterday, but that’s great. We don’t have to be afraid of the town’s oil mill anymore. Xua Yan, you’re a kind man. I won’t stop you from making money. You can’t be as black-hearted as the town’s oil mill.”

Xua Yan laughed. “Don’t worry. We’re from the same village. I won’t do that.”

Xue Darong chuckled. “Don’t worry, chief. If he dares to be so evil, I’ll break his legs.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Jiang Yue and Xue Yan standing outside the crowd. Xue Darong quickly walked over and said, “Jiang Yue, you’re just in time. Go in and take a look. It’s been quiet for a night, and there’s really a thin layer of sediment. We only took the oil and didn’t take the sediment. Now the oil is clear, and I can’t see any impurities.”

“Alright,” she said. Jiang Yue followed Xue Darong in.

Xue Yan followed him.

Chief Lu watched them enter and smiled. “Great, great. I didn’t expect Jiang Yue to have such a good brain. It’s all thanks to her this time.”

“Isn’t that so?” A woman echoed. “It’s not like we didn’t see how badly Xua Yan squeezed the oil last year. It’s all thanks to Jiang Yue that the oil mill can open again.”

The others also said the same.

“Alright, alright, let’s go, let’s go. You’re all in luck from now on. If you need any oil, just send it here. It’s more profitable than selling it to the oil mill in town.”

“Yes, yes.”

Everyone dispersed just like that.

The place was quiet again.

Xue Darong brought Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to the room next to his. “This room is under the shade of trees. Even if it’s summer, it’s still cooler than other rooms. There are windows and ventilation. The sun won’t be able to shine in. I plan to use this room to store oil. I put a dozen jars of oil I extracted yesterday here. I just showed it to the village chief and the others, but I quickly put it back here.”
