Ruoruo, who was held in her mother's arms, raised her chubby little hands, wiped away the tears from her mother's eyes and said, "Mom, don't cry, Dad, it's okay."

Hearing her daughter's comfort, Lin Wan sniffed and nodded seriously.

Thinking that Li Mu hadn't eaten anything today, he gave her all the money.

So she took Ruoruo into the kitchen and prepared something delicious for Li Mu. Seeing the pork and ribs hanging from the beams, Lin Wan felt a little uncomfortable.

Li Mu followed the path he had taken when he came here, slowly finding the direction to go down the mountain. Perhaps it was because the sky got dark very quickly in the mountains, and Li Mu was a little lost for a moment. He walked for an unknown amount of time, but he was still circling the mountain. Along the way, Li Mu saw many medicinal herbs with medicinal value, but he had Ganoderma lucidum in his hand, so he had no way to pick them.

I secretly decided in my heart that I must come back tomorrow and get more.

Li Mu, who had only eaten a few steamed buns this morning, was now too hungry to exercise. He could only sit down and rest. Looking at the dark forest, the annoyance that Li Mu had originally felt from the argument with Lin Wan had completely disappeared. Instead, his guilt towards Lin Wan became even deeper.

"If he hadn't gone too far before, Lin Wan wouldn't have denied him in every way. He decided to make enough money to live in a big house with Lin Wan and her daughter, so that they would have no worries about food and clothing and no longer have to worry about money."

Thinking of this, Li Mu held Lingzhi tighter in his arms.

...

...

After resting for a while, Li Mu calmed down and kept observing the surrounding environment. Li Mu noticed that there was a small platform not far ahead. Walking towards that place, Li Mu could clearly see lights flashing at the foot of the mountain not far away.

After a careful identification, he could still vaguely see the road below. Li Mu kept scanning the way to go down from this platform. Not far from the platform, Li Mu saw a path trampled out by humans, and slowly walked down along it.

After walking for about an hour, Li Mu looked at the road he had seen on the mountain, which was slowly getting closer and closer. Li Mu's originally panicked mood gradually calmed down.

Holding the Ganoderma lucidum in his arms with joy, he walked towards home.

After Zhou Qiang came out of Li Mu's house, he searched several places that the two of them often went in and out, but he didn't see Li Mu. Zhou Qiang had no choice but to walk along the alleys and streets, shouting.

Just when Zhou Qiang was exhausted from shouting and sat down to rest by the road leading to the county town, he saw Li Mu, with a worthless smile on his face, walking towards him with his upper body covered in dust and dirt.

Zhou Qiang suddenly stood up and ran towards Li Mu, saying, "Brother, where have you been all day? I've been looking for you for so long! Your sister-in-law is so worried. And where is your clothes? Why aren't you wearing them?"

Li Mu, who was still daydreaming, looked at Zhou Qiang who suddenly appeared in front of him. Without thinking, he raised his hand and patted Zhou Qiang on the head, fearing that Zhou Qiang would rush over too quickly and damage the Ganoderma lucidum in his arms.

"Ouch, brother, why did you hit me? It hurts." Zhou Qiang was about to rush forward to hug Li Mu, but before he could hug him, Li Mu slapped him on the forehead and he cried out in pain.

Li Mu raised his head, glanced at Zhou Qiang and said, "How can you accomplish anything if you are so impatient every day? You said your sister-in-law was very worried. What's the matter?"

"Oh, oh, it's nothing. It's just that my sister-in-law is worried about you. Let's go back quickly." Zhou Qiang explained, touching his head.

Hearing Zhou Qiang say that Lin Wan was worried about him, Li Mu's tired feet immediately perked up. He walked past Zhou Qiang and walked quickly towards home.

Zhou Qiang originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Mu walking very fast, he could only quicken his pace.

Looking at the pork bought by Li Mu in the kitchen, Lin Wan put Ruoruo back into the room, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to cook a delicious meal, waiting for Li Mu and the others to come back.

Because Lin Wan had been cooking for a long time before, she cooked very quickly. In just a short while, she had prepared three dishes and a soup: twice-cooked pork, garlic spareribs, a pumpkin, and a soup made from the leftover eels that Li Mu had bought this morning.

There was a rich meal on the table, and Lin Wan was holding Ruoruo and staring out the window in a daze.

Ruoruo could sense her mother's emotions, so she quietly laid her face in her mother's arms, playing with her mother's hair, and mumbling, "Daddy is a stinky daddy, why hasn't Dad come back yet, Ruoruo is hungry."

Hearing her daughter say she was hungry, Lin Wan stood up and picked up her daughter. Just as she was about to make some milk powder for her daughter, she heard the sound of someone walking quickly outside the yard.

Lin Wan carried Ruoruo to the window, and when she saw Li Mu and Zhou Qiang, she turned around and continued to make milk for her daughter.

Li Mu looked at the lights on in the house and finally felt relieved. He carefully handed the Lingzhi in his arms to Zhou Qiang and said, "Hold it and don't move. I'm going to wash my face first."

"Oh, I see." When Zhou Qiang heard what Li Mu said, he stopped himself and agreed reluctantly.

Li Mu turned on the faucet to wash the stains on his hands, looked at the dirt on his body, and wanted to take a shower first, feeling a little uncomfortable. However, thinking of his wife and daughter in the house, he gave up after thinking about it.

After Li Mu finished washing, the two of them slowly walked into the house. Looking at the meal prepared by Lin Wan, Li Mu kept grumbling to himself. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Lin Wan feeding Ruoruo. Ruoruo had a sleepy look in her eyes. Li Mu pulled Zhou Qiang and were about to wait for Lin Wan to coax Ruoruo to sleep before going in to eat, but was stopped by Lin Wan behind him.

"Where are your clothes? Why are you so dirty? Go take a shower first, and then we'll have dinner together." Lin Wan said softly to Li Mu without even raising her head.

Li Mu could only tiptoe to take out a set of clean clothes from the closet and prepare to take a shower.

When Zhou Qiang saw this, he said tactfully, "Then I'll wait for you outside, brother." Then he walked silently to the yard outside the door and stood there.

Hearing Zhou Qiang say this, Lin Wan said, "Just sit here and wait for him, and then we'll have dinner together."

Zhou Qiang nodded awkwardly, silently holding the things given by Li Mu, and sat in the corner.

When Li Mu came out of the shower, he saw Zhou Qiang still foolishly holding the thing he gave him, and chuckled: "Are you stupid? Just find a place to put that thing down."

After Lin Wan coaxed Ruoruo to sleep, she sat in the house and didn't go out.

When I saw Li Mu coming back covered in mud today, I felt a little worried, but I couldn't open my mouth to ask him the reason. I just sighed a little annoyed.
