As Shu Yu watched him walk away, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
At this moment, the frail woman who had been working with her walked over. She looked at Shu Yu with a complex expression in her eyes, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but seemed afraid of Master Lan's presence.
After a while, she couldn't hold back any longer and reminded Shu Yu, "Miss, that entertainment institution is not a good place. You... you should think it through."
Shu Yu turned her head and looked at the woman with a smile, saying, "I know, I won't go there."
The woman let out a sigh of relief and then lowered her head to continue working.
It wasn't until noon that everyone had a break. Shu Yu had some steamed pumpkin leftovers from last night, along with dried sweet potatoes, so she wouldn't go hungry.
Seeing her take out food, the family of three next to her looked surprised. After all, newcomers didn't have much food.
Even Hou Shi and Sixth Miss had some, but each of Shu's family members looked at others eating lunch, feeling both hungry and uncomfortable.
There wasn't much food to go around, so naturally, they didn't have any extra to give to them. If they gave it to others, they would go hungry themselves.
Soon, the matriarch of the Shu family fainted in the afternoon from not eating for a whole day, along with the heavy workload. The people in her group were almost vomiting blood from watching. When she fainted, they had to work twice as hard, otherwise they wouldn't be able to complete the tasks, and they would have even less food in the evening.
Shu Yu acted as if she hadn't seen anything. By now, she had already switched tasks with the woman. She squatted on the ground, breaking up clumps of soil, while the ten-year-old boy put them into a basket, and the man with one hand carried the basket.
In the southwestern region, the daylight hours were longer, so they would work until the late afternoon.
After finishing work, someone would come to tally up the tasks and distribute rations based on the amount of work done. Carrying the rations home, it was almost dark outside.
By this calculation, excluding the time spent traveling, they practically worked for twelve hours non-stop in a day.
It was truly exhausting.
Although Shu Yu had good physical fitness, she still wanted to change jobs and do something else.
She handed the rations to Hou Shi. "I'll go pick up some firewood at the foot of the mountain and see if there are any wild vegetables or mushrooms. I'll bring some back to eat."
Hou Shi nodded. "Be careful."
Shu Yu went out and coincidentally bumped into the other members of the Shu family who had just entered the courtyard.
The Shu family members only glanced at her and entered the yard listlessly, not wanting to say anything.
There were quite a few people who had the same idea as Shu Yu. At this time, there were many people wandering around the foot of the mountain, but most of them were men.
Shu Yu avoided them and walked deeper into the area. Not long after, she saw someone standing ahead.
She smiled and walked toward him.
Once she stood still, she saw that it was Meng Yunzheng. He furrowed his brows and pulled her over to sit down, handing her a still warm bun and chicken leg. "Are you tired?"
Shu Yu replied, "Not too much." She took a few bites, let out a contented sigh, and said, "But I still want to change jobs."
"What do you want to change to?" Meng Yunzheng opened a water pouch and fed her directly.
