Chapter 150 Treating Her as a Thief
Fu Jiani reluctantly took out the only box of braised pork and rice from her bag.
Originally, she wanted to buy more, but she went there late and there was not much food left in the state-owned hotel, so she could only buy a serving of braised pork.
She wanted to save it for dinner.
Zhang Bingyi sighed in his heart, but because of Zhong Jue, he didn't say anything.
After a simple meal, Zhang Bingyi went to look for medicinal herbs nearby without waiting for Gu Xiaoxi and the others to return.
Fu Jiani's legs hurt so much that she said something to Zhong Jue and then stayed in the tent to rest.
When she saw Gu Xiaoxi's big bag, she suddenly became curious about what was inside.
After a few seconds of hesitation, she walked over and unzipped it.
Just as she was about to open it, Li Kun's voice suddenly exploded at the door.
"Why are you touching my sister-in-law's things?"
Fu Jiani was startled and slapped her chest hard.
She blushed and said, "I just saw a bug crawling on it and wanted to swat it away."
"Really?" Li Kun came over, zipped up the bag again, and placed the bag at the door of the tent.
This way, he can help his sister-in-law keep an eye on things.
My sister-in-law’s sleeping bag and blanket were not there, and neither were their deputy tour group’s bags. I guess they went out last night and did not come back.
Fu Jiani felt that Li Kun treated her as a thief and was very angry.
However, she didn't dare to lose her temper at anyone, so she had to sulk in the tent.
She didn't get a good rest last night, so she was in a daze for a while, then opened the old quilt she brought from home and went to sleep.
"Do you think we should go look for my sister-in-law and Deputy Commander Lu?" Qiaozi asked Li Kun.
Li Kun shook his head. "Let's wait here! In case we get lost. There are typhoon lights on outside. They must have gone out last night. I guess they will be back soon."
Zhuanzi thought it made sense, so he stopped asking questions and leaned against a tree to rest for a while.
Li Kun pretended to sleep as he usually did when on a mission, but he was still focused.
When he heard footsteps in the distance, he immediately opened his eyes.
When he saw the person walking in front, he immediately stood up and pushed the pile.
"Sister-in-law and the others are back!"
Zhuozi immediately stood up and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth meticulously.
Gu Xiaoxi was also very happy to see them and waved to them from a distance.
Li Kun and Zhuan Zi were also smart people. When they saw the people behind them were carrying more things, they immediately ran over to help.
After putting the things back in the camp, Lu Jiansen called Li Kun and Zhuan Zi to his side and talked to them for a few words.
When the two found out that they had dug up ginseng this morning, their eyes widened.
This is simply amazing!
"Do you understand?" Lu Jiansen asked seriously.
Li Kun nodded quickly, "Understood, I promise to complete the task!"
Zhui Zi also quickly expressed his position, "I guarantee to complete the task!"
"Then wait for your sister-in-law to deal with the things simply, and then you can go back first!"
"yes!"
Here, Gu Xiaoxi found that Li Kun and Zhuangzi had brought two large buckets of water up the mountain, so they washed the ginseng they had just dug out and performed a simple wind-drying method to control the water.
Qi Shuangshuang took out all the boxes of medicinal herbs she had brought with her and tried her best to preserve the ginseng.
Because she moved the things a little too vigorously, Fu Jiani, who was asleep, woke up at this time.
When they found out that Gu Xiaoxi and her friends had dug up ginseng, and not just one, their eyes lit up.
She stood behind Gu Xiaoxi and said happily, "Sister Gu, you are so lucky! Did you dig up the ginseng marked by Grandpa Zhang? If Brother Bingyi knew about it, he would definitely be very happy."
Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, "No, I haven't been there yet."
Fu Jiani was a little bit unconvinced, but the envy and jealousy in her eyes became real.
Gu Xiaoxi saw that Fu Jiani was standing behind her and talking. Because she was so close to her, her breath was almost spraying on her face.
She said somewhat uncomfortably, "Can you help me light a fire? I want to make spicy rabbit meat later."
"Okay." Fu Jiani went to light the fire reluctantly.
Gu Xiaoxi took this opportunity to quickly process and pack the ginseng at hand, then took the military green bag that Lu Jiansen and his team had brought, and neatly put the boxes from smallest to largest into the bag.
There are only ginseng and deer antlers in here.
For safety reasons, she took out a small lock from the new product showroom, locked the bag, and handed the key to Li Kun.
Li Kun was deeply moved to see that her sister-in-law trusted her so much.
Seeing Fu Jiani stealing glances at them again, he tried to hold it in but still couldn't help but speak out.
"Sister-in-law, come here for a moment."
Gu Xiaoxi was a little confused, but still followed Li Kun a little further away.
After making sure that the sound could not reach Fu Jiani, Li Kun told her about Fu Jiani stealing her bag.
"Sister-in-law, you have to be careful when we go back. You are innocent and kind, but that woman is actually very scheming..."
As he spoke, he also told about the unpleasant things that happened when he went down the mountain to send the wild boar.
It was a wild boar weighing more than 400 pounds. It was agreed that he and Zhuanzi would get one-third of the share, but in the end they each only got 15 yuan.
The 20 kilograms of pork that I wanted to save for my sister-in-law was secretly sold by that woman.
Sold it, but didn’t give them the money.
Gu Xiaoxi was stunned after hearing this. She didn't expect such a thing to happen just because she sold pork.
Zhang Bingyi seemed to be a very honest person. Zhong Jue was not familiar with Fu Jiani. She thought that with Zhang Bingyi around, the petty-minded Fu Jiani would not go too far.
But things were really different from what she thought.
Knowing that Li Kun had been wronged, she said softly, "I'll make you something delicious later. Eat before going back. Be careful on the road!"
"I know, sister-in-law. Don't worry, Qiaozi and I will definitely send the things back safely." Li Kun grinned.
In fact, he was not angry because the money was too little, but mainly because he felt that Fu Jiani had some character issues.
That woman likes to stare at his sister-in-law, and he is afraid that his sister-in-law is being plotted against!
Gu Xiaoxi nodded and went back to process the Chinese herbs he had just collected.
Here, Fu Jiani had already made the fire burn brightly, and the rabbit meat was sizzling in the pot, but she did not react at all.
Gu Xiaoxi felt a little uncomfortable watching this, so he temporarily put down what he was doing, divided half of the rabbit meat, and used the rest to make spicy rabbit meat.
After it was done, she took a large earthenware jar and put all the rabbit meat in it.
Fu Jiani, who was about to taste the rabbit meat, was stunned. "Sister Gu, why are you pretending? Isn't the rabbit meat already cooked?"
"Yes. These are what Li Kun and Qiao Zi ate on the way back."
Gu Xiaoxi replied and then steamed another pot of rice.
Li Kun was laughing like crazy when he was watching from the side. Even the one who thought he was more stable and wanted to be like the icy-faced Deputy Commander Lu was grinning.
Sure enough, my sister-in-law is still nice to them!
