"I will go out later and look around, but I can't look too close to home. I must go a bit further. If it's too close, people will definitely suspect us. I need to dig a bit further away."
Now, it's no secret in Ya Village that she and Liu Yushui's mother are not getting enough to eat. If a nearby family loses something, they would surely suspect them.
"Mmm, going further away is better." Liu Yushui nodded in agreement.
"Mom, how about this, if you're going to dig, dig a bit more. Just once, we could gather all the food we need. Even if they really find out, they don't have any evidence, so they can't do anything to us."
The difference between digging a few and several dozen was that they could eat for several more meals.
Moreover, the sweet potatoes should be quite small now, so several dozen probably wouldn't be enough for more than a few meals.
"But if we store the sweet potatoes at home, won't people see them?" Liu Yushui asked worriedly.
