Not hitting anyone, Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

How could Qin Shuo not sense the woman's different attitude before and after?

She was clearly wiping his sweat in front of him.

Now he looks like he's trying to avoid it.

Qin Shuo couldn't help but frown again at the huge contrast.

After the dizziness, Xu Jiaojiao picked up her ginseng and looked at it carefully.

The roots of ginseng are not very developed, but they are very long.

No wonder I felt dizzy when I got up.

Xu Jiaojiao estimated that she had been digging for more than an hour.

Fortunately, the soil here is loose, otherwise I don’t know how long it would take to dig.

Suddenly thinking of something, Xu Jiaojiao looked at Qin Shuo with some vigilance.

“I dug this ginseng.”

He looked as if he didn't want to confiscate it.

She was so poor that her clothes were torn like that.

She didn't want to hand this thing over as she had no other source of income.

Qin Shuo didn't say anything and looked at the ginseng in her hand again.

But the woman seemed to be afraid that he would snatch it away, so she hid the ginseng behind her.

The four looked at each other, one full of vigilance, the other full of suspicion.

There is absolutely no trust between husband and wife, and they are even worse than strangers.

Xu Jiaojiao was so busy hiding the ginseng that she forgot that the person in front of her was the person she wanted to conquer.

If the system was still there, it would probably be scared to death by her impulsive look.

"I, I can only give you five dollars at most." Xu Jiaojiao said with a painful look on her face.

I don’t know if I can exchange this ginseng for thirty yuan.

Qin Shuo: ...

"I don't want five dollars."

Huh? !

Could it be that he wants to split it in half?

shameless! So shameless!

Meeting those accusing eyes, Qin Shuo fell silent again.

"Sell me the ginseng."

…

Something feels weird.

But when she heard that he wanted to buy it, Xu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up again.

According to her psychological estimation, she added 10 yuan and stretched out four fingers.

“This price.”

"Four hundred?" The man raised his eyebrows, as if asking how dare she ask for such a high price.

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

Xu Jiaojiao was speechless. Would this guy be ripped off when buying things?

I originally wanted to offer 40 yuan and ask him to make a counter-offer, but he actually raised the price ten times!

For a moment, Xu Jiaojiao was tempted. If she couldn't sell it for 400 yuan, then 100 yuan would be fine.

But after looking at his lame leg, for some reason, she didn't want to add money anymore.

"This is about 50 years old. I'll give it to you for thirty yuan. Pay first and I'll give you the ginseng."

After hearing this, Qin Shuo realized that he had misunderstood.

He didn't show it on his face, just nodded and responded.

"OK."

The two agreed on the price, and Xu Jiaojiao's face broke into a happy smile.

After earning another 30 yuan, she now has 35 yuan.

How to spend it?

While thinking about when to go to the county town, he put the ginseng into the backpack.

There were all herbs inside, and Xu Jiaojiao tied the ginseng and the herbs together.

There was absolutely no way to see anything from the outside.

After finishing all these, Xu Jiaojiao didn't plan to stay any longer. She picked up the backpack and walked back.

Not long after they walked away, Xu Jiaojiao suddenly reacted.

Are they husband and wife?

Why does it feel like money is flowing from the left hand to the right hand when selling ginseng like this?

However, this thought only flashed through her mind, and Xu Jiaojiao smiled at herself again.

They were simply strangers living under the same roof.

She had no psychological burden in selling ginseng to him.

When we returned to the tea garden, it was time to go to work.

Ding Xiujing came back, and the three children came back with her.

But they all seemed a little absent-minded.

Even Ding Xiujing looked like she couldn't wait to get off work.

But she still held back and said to the children, "Hurry up and collect firewood. Let your dad carry it down after work."

Hearing this, the children seemed to perk up.

He walked up the mountain again, as if he wanted to pick up another bargain.

However, Xu Jiaojiao felt that this leak was probably not that easy to pick up.

It would be nice to be able to pick some mushrooms.

But she didn't care, she herself was a little absent-minded.

When I thought about the thirty dollars, I couldn't stay any longer.

I couldn't wait to run to the county and buy two vests.

After finally getting off work, I saw the three little guys walking back dejectedly.

It looks like there was nothing to gain.

"Aunt San... I picked some wild fruits for you to try."

Dani held a bunch of fruits in her hand and looked at her cautiously.

As if he was afraid that she wouldn't like it.

Seeing her like this, how could Xu Jiaojiao refuse?

He quickly reached out to take it, "Thank you, Dani."

When he lowered his eyes, he saw the fruit in his palm, which was small and purple-black in color.

From her memory, Xu Jiaojiao knew that this thing was called wild eggplant.

It is very juicy and tastes sweet. Children love to pick and eat it.

Xu Jiaojiao picked up a few and put them in her mouth. She took a light bite and the slightly sweet fruit pulp burst in her mouth.

This gave her an indescribable sense of satisfaction as she hadn't eaten fruit for two days.

“It’s delicious. I like it very much.”

After being affirmed, Dani blushed and smiled shyly.

Suddenly, thinking of something, Xu Jiaojiao asked Dani carefully again.

"Have you sent it to your mother?"

Although I don't like Liu Zhaodi's preference for boys over girls, she is her daughter after all.

Only if Liu Zhaodi changes her attitude towards her daughter can these two live a good life.

Hearing this, Dani's eyes, which had been bright, dimmed again.

"My mother...she doesn't like to eat." Erni said in a low voice.

As if he was afraid of being heard.

Looking at their expressions, how could Xu Jiaojiao not understand what was going on?

It can be imagined that the two of them must have been very happy and wanted to share their favorite wild fruits with Liu Zhaodi.

The result was most likely being scolded again.

Sighing, Xu Jiaojiao rubbed Erni's head.

"Auntie loves to eat them. Next time I'll go pick them with you guys."

"Hey!" The two sisters responded in unison, both of them full of excitement.

"Xu Jiaojiao, hurry up and go back."

Ding Xiujing had already packed her things and was carrying a bundle of firewood on her shoulder. She greeted her.

Looking very anxious.

"Oh, it will be ready soon." Xu Jiaojiao put the herbs she had placed under the tree into her backpack.

Nowadays, if there is someone at home who has a headache or a footache, they will go up the mountain to pick some herbs and boil them to make a tea.

As to whether it is effective or not, it is unknown.

Anyway, asking them to spend money to see a doctor would be like asking for their lives.

Unless you are really uncomfortable, you should carry it yourself if you can.

For old ailments such as rheumatism, headaches and cramps, they are happy to use the folk remedies they have learned.

Therefore, no one would take the herbs she placed under the tree.

After packing the herbs and putting on the backpack, Xu Jiaojiao followed the others down the mountain.

The rest of the firewood had already been carried down the mountain by the men.

The remaining bits were picked up later by the three children.

After walking for a while, Xu Jiaojiao and Ding Xiujing took turns carrying firewood.

I just came down the mountain and hadn't walked far when I met a few people.
