During the day, Leng Jingxian and her two maids tried to hide and avoid being seen. Hongzhu and Luchou took care of the food. Leng Jingxian was not short of silver; when she escaped, she brought enough silver with her. With money, everything could be easily handled. Besides spending money to buy grains in the village, Hongzhu and Luchou sometimes also stole some vegetables and fruits from farmers' fields.
The amount they stole was small and not easy to notice, but they almost got discovered twice. Hongzhu and Luchou, fearing their identities would be exposed, dared not steal again. The three mainly spent money to buy food.
