Su Muyao kept having a strange dream where she died in modern times and then, with her memories intact, was reborn in ancient times. After a smooth birth, she was abandoned by her parents who favor...
"Dad's bad, his beard is prickly."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Su immediately punched her third son twice in the back.
"Get lost!"
Su Laosan felt extremely wronged; well, everyone was looking down on him.
Ignoring her father's antics, Su Muyao continued:
“Grandpa and Grandma, my master taught me to identify this medicinal herb. I plan to share this skill with the villagers so that everyone can earn some money.”
Upon hearing this, Su Sanlang was the first to disagree: "My dear, if there's a way to make money, it's definitely the family members who should be earning it!"
"We told others, and they all went to dig, so there's nothing left for us to do, right?"
Su Muyao shook her head in disagreement, "But I have other skills. The uncles, elders, grandfathers and grandmothers in the village are very kind to me. Everyone is poor."
Old Man Su realized that if his family could earn a lot of money little by little with Fu Bao's skills, they would definitely be able to send their children to school, build houses, and live a better life.
But the villagers are still eating coarse food and wild vegetables, which will cause resentment and may even lead them to do things that harm Fu Bao.
But if Fu Bao leads everyone to make money, then they will only protect Fu Bao together.
After thinking it through, we decided to do as Guai Bao said. The villagers are all very honest and we can't let just our family get rich while others are still eating coarse food.
Grandma Su had no objections, and Su Sanlang, seeing that his parents had already discussed it, didn't say anything more, since it was his own daughter who had made it.
"My sweet baby, will learning these things have any negative impact on you?"
"Grandma, don't worry, it's not true."
"Grandma, my sweet baby wants to earn more money for you so I can buy you a big gold bracelet."
Grandma Su laughed heartily. She had suffered all her life, raising three sons and now so many more. She had worked hard for this family her whole life.
In the end, only his little granddaughter knows how to be filial to him.
The others are all ingrates. I raised them all these years, and they never give me a single piece of candy.
The more I look at the person in front of me, the more I like them.
"Grandpa, if you exchange this gold for money, you can send your older brothers to school."
Old Su didn't quite agree, even though he also really wanted his grandsons to be successful.
But this was a gift from my granddaughter's teacher, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to take it and give it to another grandson.
“My dear, you should call your eldest uncle, second uncle, and your father. We’ll learn about medicinal herbs, and when we make money, we’ll send your older brothers to school.”
"Grandpa will keep this money for you. It will be used as part of our precious baby's dowry when she gets married."
"Grandpa, you can't do that. This money is specially for my brothers' education."
Old Su never imagined that his granddaughter's teacher would actually be thinking about his own brats.
"Grandma, if you sell this ginseng and all these herbs, can we move to a bigger house?"
Grandma Su looked at her house and saw that it was indeed too dilapidated, which made her granddaughter feel somewhat wronged.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, once we sell the ginseng, we'll move to a bigger house, and our little one can stay in whichever room he wants."
Su Muyao excitedly wiggled her little feet, "Yay! Big house! Let's build a big house!"
Sweetie, I want to live in a big house.
After they all left the room, Su Muyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sigh, pretending to be a child is quite tiring."
Grandma Su and Grandpa Su took the ginseng and the herbs back to their room and quickly locked them in the cabinet.
"Old man, you and Sanlang should take these to the county town tomorrow!"
Let the herbal medicine shop check if it really is ginseng and notoginseng. Be careful not to get scammed.
After hesitating for a moment, Old Man Su asked, "Should we buy more of the grain that the village chief mentioned?"
Grandma Su thought for a moment and said, "Buy them, and buy a lot. You can decide what to buy later."
The two elderly people barely slept all night; they simply couldn't sleep because they had such a precious child in their home.
The next morning, Grandma Su took out several pieces of rags and carefully wrapped the ginseng and notoginseng separately.
Let Old Man Su and Su Sanlang go together.
"Sanlang, go with your father and bring back more grain. And don't spend the money you get from selling it recklessly, understand? Use it to buy things the family needs."
Also, buy some candy and snacks for my darling and the other boys.
Su Sanlang shouldered his bundle and went out the door with Old Man Su.
Looking at the clear blue sky outside, Grandma Su felt, for some reason, that everything had been going smoothly ever since Fu Bao came to live with them.
Even the rain falls when it's supposed to rain, and the sun shines when it's supposed to shine.
The crops in their village are growing quite well.
If the imperial court hadn't suddenly increased grain collection, they might have been able to have enough to eat this year.
Grandma Su handed a piece of candy to Guai Guai.
"Sweetie, do you want to come up the mountain with Grandma? We won't go too deep into the mountains, we'll just wander around the outer areas."
Her longing gaze completely betrayed the fact that Old Mrs. Su was a miser at heart.
The greedy old lady was probably hoping to stumble upon some medicinal herbs on the outskirts.
Su Muyao has thoroughly figured out the personalities of the entire Su family over the past year.
Everyone is of good character, but they are afraid of being poor and suffering, so almost everyone is very frugal.
They are only exceptionally generous when it comes to themselves.
Su Muyao nodded, "Grandma and I will go dig up lots of medicinal herbs to sell for money."
When Grandma Su heard what Guabao said, her little eyes lit up.
The old lady immediately grinned, her wrinkles deepening slightly, as if the silver had already fallen into her pocket.
The old lady specially brought a small basket so that her beloved granddaughter wouldn't get tired.
He put Fu Bao in the basket and then carried her into the mountains.
Su Muyao sat in the basket, feeling herself bouncing around, and was extremely happy (●°u°●) 」
Soon the grandfather and grandson arrived at the foot of the mountain, but they did not venture deeper into the mountain.
Although the old woman knew that the wolves wouldn't harm her precious baby, there were other ferocious wild beasts deep in the mountains.
After finding a flat, open space, Grandma Su put the basket down.
Then she pulled the little dumpling out of the box. "Sweetie, stand still so you don't fall. Tell Grandma the shapes of the herbs you brought back yesterday, and Grandma will go find them."
Grandma Su was greedy for money, but she wasn't a greedy person.
Of course she knew that precious medicinal herbs like Panax notoginseng and ginseng were not readily available everywhere.
Her purpose in coming today was to learn about the herbs her granddaughter knew, which her granddaughter had mentioned were used to treat colds, headaches, and fevers.
Su Muyao pulled Grandma Su along as they walked, carefully observing the plants on the ground.
"Milk, here, this is it."
Grandma Su saw Su Muyao's chubby little finger pointing to a plant that looked like a weed.
Well, even Grandma Su had to admit that every single one of them looked like a weed.
Without further hesitation, he picked up a small shovel and began digging.
While digging, he casually asked, "Sweetie, what kind of herb is this?"
