As they descended the mountain, Ye Jin'er was somewhat sullen: "When I arrived, she had already dug out the ginseng and said it was fifty years old."

"Ginseng? Fifty years old?" Ye Daquan stood frozen in shock. "That must be worth one or two hundred taels of silver!"

"if……"

“There’s no ‘if only’,” Ye Caiping turned around. “Li Jiaojiao was right just now. Even if we had discovered it a long time ago, it wasn’t ours until we dug it up. She dug it up first, so it’s hers.”

Although Ye Daquan was reckless, he agreed with this statement: "First come, first served; that's the rule in the mountains."

Ye Jin'er looked dejected and guilty: "Mother, I'm sorry. I just... couldn't wait any longer. I felt that you... didn't seem to care much about this ginseng, so I ran away and came back. Sure enough... someone else snatched it away."

In the end, a deep sense of resentment welled up inside me.

She looked at Ye Caiping cautiously: "Mother, what if we hadn't gone to sell spicy soup this morning..."

Ye Caiping sighed softly: "It's not that Mother doesn't care, but that she's too worried. A few days ago I had a dream that we found ginseng on the mountain, and when we were fighting with people for it, we rolled down the hillside and died."

Ye Jin'er was taken aback.

"Look, aren't we fighting with someone for ginseng today? I think our lives are more important than ginseng."

Hearing this, Ye Jin'er felt relieved: "Mother, I understand."

Although ginseng is very valuable, it is nothing compared to a mother's love and care.

Ye Caiping laughed and said, "Alright. It's just ginseng, you can have as much as you want."

As long as you have the space, you can buy as much as you want.

Ye Jin'er and Ye Daquan were both dumbfounded. How could she say that ginseng was like weeds on the ground?

"By the way, just now Mother called that girl Li Jiaojiao, is she... the daughter of Li Zhiyuan's new wife?" Ye Jin'er said.

"Um."

Ye Jin'er's face darkened even more. Losing the ginseng was already frustrating enough, but the person who lost it was actually Li Zhiyuan's stepdaughter!

Ye Jin'er felt even more distressed.

"What? She's Li Zhiyuan's stepdaughter? Damn it, I should have beaten them up! No way, I'm going back to beat them up right now." Ye Daquan turned to leave.

Ye Caiping's face darkened, and she grabbed his ear.

"Ouch...it hurts! No, no, no, little sister, I won't hit you anymore, I won't hit you anymore!"

...

Meanwhile, Li Jiaojiao, carrying the ginseng, went down the mountain with Li Ziming.

"Jiaojiao, you're so lucky! You found ginseng as soon as you went up the mountain," Li Ziming said happily. "And that woman found it first, so it was so satisfying to snatch it from her."

Li Jiaojiao smiled, but her brows were tightly furrowed.

For some reason, she couldn't be happy and felt irritable, as if she needed to find something else besides ginseng.
