"I can't finish this; it's what Aunt Wang brought for you. Look, I have my own!" Yu Songyu pulled out her lunchbox to show Yang Qinghe, proving she wasn't lying. However, the box of rabbit meat meant for Yang Qinghe was indeed packed by Aunt Wang at Yu Songyu's request. It would be awkward for him to watch her eat while he couldn't even have a sip of soup from it.
Yu Songyu shoved the lunchbox into Yang Qinghe's hands, offered a polite smile, and turned to leave. Yang Qinghe wanted to say something more, but the young girl didn't give him a chance to speak. He felt a bit uncomfortable; he could sense that she didn't want to say another word. He couldn't tell if she was trying to avoid suspicion or if she simply disliked him.
In truth, Yu Songyu didn't dislike Yang Qinghe. After all, he was her savior who had helped her during her most difficult time; how could she possibly hate him? Setting that aside, Yang Qinghe was indeed a remarkable figure—handsome and tall, with an air of confidence that radiated from his brow. What girl wouldn't like a man like him?
Actually, Yu Songyu just wanted to avoid gossip. She knew how fearsome rumors could be, especially in this era. She remembered watching dramas where couples were reprimanded by the Red Guards for improper relationships. Being new here, she was unsure about the societal norms regarding male-female interactions.
In any case, it was better to be cautious. She wanted to live well in this era and couldn't afford to be labeled before she even started. Moreover, she owed Yang Qinghe quite a bit of money and needed to find a way to repay him soon for her peace of mind.
But it was winter now, and being new here meant she had no clear way to earn money; she could only take things one step at a time. If this continued, heavy snow would soon block the mountains, leaving her with nothing to do for several days.
Li Xiuzhen plopped down beside Yu Songyu and began munching on a corn cake. "Several days? Does that mean we won't have anything to do during that time?" In modern times, there would be television and games to pass the time, but in this era, what could she do? It seemed she would have to make a trip to town at least to get a sense of the local situation and see if there were any opportunities for making money.
"Li Xiu Zhen, try this!"
Yu Songyu opened the lunchbox, and a delicious aroma of meat wafted out. Inside was a generous portion of rabbit meat prepared by Aunt Wang. The rabbit had been stewed with wild mushrooms, and the broth shimmered with a slight golden hue, making it incredibly appetizing.
Li Xiu Zhen's eyes lit up at the sight of the full lunchbox of rabbit meat, and she couldn't help but swallow hard. "Meat? Where did this come from?"
Yu Songyu knew that Li Xiu Zhen had a loud voice and had mentally prepared herself for it. To her surprise, when Li Xiu Zhen expressed her astonishment, her voice was even louder. Fortunately, there was no one around.
"Aunt Wang made this wild rabbit stew. There’s not much, so it’s just for the two of us; otherwise, there won't be enough to share with everyone." Yu Songyu said this in a lowered voice, and only then did Li Xiu Zhen realize that she had indeed been too loud earlier. She quickly covered her mouth.
Yu Songyu found her action endearing. She hadn't expected that such a robust woman like Li Xiu Zhen could also have such a cute side.
