Chapter 17 - 17 17 Not Good at Managing Daily Life

?Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Not Good at Managing Daily Life Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Not Good at Managing Daily Life Shen Yunfang was rendered speechless, wondering how everything could be escalated to such a degree.

State-owned cow dung and ownerless cow dung only differed based on where the cows couldn’t help relieving themselves, after all. Here, it was just more concentrated. Did it mean that in the future she would have to follow behind an old cow’s backside to get her cow dung?

“No, sir, it’s not that I want to use it as fertilizer. I was thinking that we’re running out of firewood at home. I went up the mountain today to gather some, but there was hardly anything left. I…” Ah, she was becoming incoherent in her speech.

Although Shen Yunfang knew that dried cow dung could be used as fuel, she had never actually burnt cow dung in either of her two lives, so after she spoke, she wasn’t sure if what she said was right and looked at Shen Yeqing with trepidation.

Even though her words were not clear, they made Shen Yeqing understand. His stern face went from black to red and then turned sad before he finally let out a heavy sigh.

“Oh, you child, why didn’t you tell your uncle about your difficulties?”

He felt he had failed in his duty as an uncle for not taking better care of his younger brother’s orphan. In a place like theirs, letting children run out of firewood and have to pick up cow dung was shameful for him.

“It’s not really a hardship…”

“Enough, let’s not talk about that. Wait until tomorrow. I’ll ask your second brother to go up the mountain and fetch some branches for you. I’ll also have him take you to the Pine Forest on the south side to gather some pine branches. That ought to be enough to last the winter.” Firewood really wasn’t an issue in the mountains, if not for the policies forbidding it, felling a few trees would suffice.
