Chapter 122: Let the Third Brother Teach Me to Identify Medicinal Herbs

"I really won't agree. If you have the guts, let them come." Li Wanqing was not afraid of her threat.

Even if her parents-in-law came, they could not force her to teach others how to cook.

Zhang Cuihua returned empty-handed with her child. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Instead of going home, she went straight to her mother-in-law Zhang Dahahua.

"Mom, are you mending clothes? Where is my dad? He is not at home?" Zhang Cuihua saw Zhang Dahahua sitting at the entrance of the cave mending clothes.

"They are in the room? Why are you two here? Where are Erniu and Xiaozhuzi?" Zhang Dahahua is Zhang Cuihua's aunt. She is closer to Zhang Cuihua than other daughters-in-law.

She is also close to the children she gave birth to. Of course, apart from Zhang Cuihua's three children, she has no other grandchildren for the time being, so there is no basis for comparison.

"They are both at home. I came to talk to you about something. Mom, come in too. I want to talk to both of you." Zhang Cuihua often lived with her aunt when she was a child.

She is also close to Gu Chongshan, so she can feel free here.

"What's the matter? Why do you have to tell us two?" Zhang Dahua muttered as he followed in.

Inside the house, Gu Chongshan was sitting on the kang smoking. Seeing Zhang Cuihua and the girl come in, he tapped his pipe and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Obviously he also heard what Zhang Cuihua said just now.

Zhang Cuihua waited until Zhang Dahua came in before she said, "Dad and Mom, I just went to the third brother's house."

"What are you doing at the third brother's house?" Zhang Dahua asked curiously.

"Do you want the third brother to teach you how to dig medicinal herbs?" Gu Chongshan immediately thought of the key.

"Well, I want the third brother to teach Gu Nian how to identify medicinal herbs. Dad, there are so many medicinal herbs in the mountains, and the third brother and his friends can never dig them all.

In that case, why can't we dig together as a family?

If we learn this, we won't have to go hunting without regard for the danger. Especially for you, at your age, hunting is so dangerous! If you encounter a wild animal, it would be fatal.

And I heard that if you come across precious medicinal herbs, one plant can be sold for dozens of taels of silver.

Didn’t you see that the third brother and his family bought the farm in just one year?

If we can also dig medicinal herbs and sell them, maybe next year we can buy a farm and move out of the mountains.

"I was thinking that if you made money digging herbs, I would send Xiao Zhuzi to school so he could learn a few words. He could then work as an accountant in town, and he wouldn't have to make a living in the mountains anymore," Zhang Cuihua said to Gu Chongshan.

Gu Chongshan's heart also became hot after hearing the scene described by Zhang Cuihua.

He has lived in the mountains all his life and dreams of moving out of the mountains.

But I used to think that if I moved out, I would have no house or land, no job, and no way to support my family.

He has only lived in the mountains for so many years, and now he has the opportunity to move out with his family. How could Gu Chongshan not be tempted?

"What does the third brother say?" Gu Chongshan knew whether this matter could be accomplished depended on the third brother.

“It’s because the third brother is unwilling to teach me that I came to you, Dad.

I have no choice. The third brother doesn't give me any face at all.

I think this matter still requires your intervention, Dad. This matter concerns whether our family can move out of the mountains. Dad, you can't just ignore it.

Actually, I think the third brother is too eccentric. There are so many medicinal herbs in the mountains that they can't dig them all by themselves. What's the point of teaching them to us?

Besides, we're all family, even if we break bones, we're still connected." Zhang Cuihua, remembering how Gu and Li Wanqing had given her, her eldest sister-in-law, no respect at all, felt resentful and started to stir up trouble.

Gu Chongshan knew that the third brother and the others would not agree easily.

Not to mention that the third brother already had a gap with them, even if there was no gap, the ability to eat is not something that can be learned just by wanting to.

If it's something else, the third brother doesn't want to teach, then he doesn't have to, and he won't force him.

But this matter concerns whether their family can move out of the mountains. This is a big deal and the third brother cannot be willful.

But how to persuade the third brother to agree is a problem.

The third child didn’t grow up with them and has no feelings for them. Didn’t you see that Zhang Cuihua said she encountered setbacks when she tried to help them?

Seeing that Gu Chongshan didn't say anything, Zhang Cuihua touched Zhang Dahua's hand and motioned her to speak.

Zhang Dahua glanced at her niece and knew what she wanted her to say. She thought about it and although she felt that it might be a little difficult to convince the third child, they were the third child's parents.

Since they had spoken, the third child had to be taught no matter how unwilling he was.

"Old man, we can't let the third brother do whatever he wants. If we had the skills to collect herbs and make medicine, we wouldn't have to go hunting anymore.

Every time you guys go out hunting, I'm always worried, afraid that something might happen to you.

If you know about medicinal herbs, you can go out and dig them every day, and I won’t have to worry.

And there's our little Zhuzi, he's almost four years old, can you bear to let him live in these mountains for the rest of his life?" Zhang Dahua said, wiping away tears.

"Oh, how could I not know this? The key is that the third brother and the others don't agree.

You know that the third brother has a grudge against us, and I guess the skill of identifying medicinal herbs was taught to him by his wife.

I'm afraid that even if the third brother agrees, his wife won't agree. After all, this is a skill that can only be used to make a living. How can I teach it to others so easily? "Gu Chongshan said with a frown.

"Who are they? We are her parents-in-law, and the eldest and second sons are her uncles. How can they be others?

If she marries the third brother, she will be taking care of the family. If she dares to disagree, I will let the third brother divorce her.

"She's just a little girl, an orphan, how could she possibly rebel against the heavens?" Zhang Dahua said stubbornly.

"That's right, mother, you are her mother-in-law. If she doesn't obey, let the third brother divorce her.

"The third brother has such a big farm, is he still worried about finding a wife?" Zhang Cuihua fanned the flames.

"Cuihua is right. The third son owns dozens of acres of land, so it's not easy for him to marry another one. Li Wanqing is just a maid, so she is not worthy of my third son." Zhang Dahua said.

"That's right. If it were you, I would divorce Li Wanqing and marry another one to the third son. With the third son's current conditions, he can even marry a daughter of a landlord." Zhang Cuihua felt that as long as Li Wanqing was kicked out, Gu Yan would definitely let them do whatever they wanted.

Seeing that they were getting more and more outrageous, Gu Chongshan quickly interrupted them: "Alright, what are you talking about? The third sister is still pregnant?

Don't talk nonsense in front of the Third Brother. I think he values ​​his family very much. Be careful or he'll get angry."

After being scolded by Gu Chongshan, both Zhang Dahua and him fell silent.

They were just happy to talk, but they didn't dare to tell Gu Yan about it.

After all, Gu Yan is only gentle and has no temper in front of Li Wanqing.

Before he met Li Wanqing, he was like the King of Hell, and both the children and adults in the family were afraid of him.
