Seeing Granny Fan limping away from the Huang family, the village chief's wife and Aunt Zhang both looked at the fried beans in their hands with regret.
At this moment, seeing her husband also coming out of the Huang family, the village chief's wife couldn't help but go up to him and say something.
"How could it end so quickly...?"
Seeing his wife's regretful expression and noticing that she was occasionally popping a bean into her mouth, the village chief rolled his eyes at her helplessly, but still said something.
"The two families have completely fallen out, and I bet you'll be in for a lot of trouble in the future..."
With no excitement to be had, the two had no choice but to head back. However, Aunt Zhang's gossip-loving nature had been piqued, so she pulled the village chief's wife to her house, and the two chatted about the Fan and Huang families' affairs over the past two days. In this way, the handful of beans they had in their hands hadn't been wasted after all...
Han Yiyi had no idea about the big gossip in the village. Yesterday, there was a heavy rain, so there must be mushrooms growing on the back mountain. Not to mention the deliciousness of the mushrooms, the thought of being able to exchange chicken oil mushrooms for points made Han Yiyi very excited.
Now that autumn has arrived and another rain has fallen, there's a noticeable chill in the air in the mornings and evenings.
Han Yi got up early and boiled a few eggs and some rice porridge, along with the grilled sausages she made yesterday, and that was her breakfast.
Because it had just rained, the mountain road was still a bit slippery. In addition, I was thinking about exchanging points with the system, so I didn't let the two little ones come along. With the house builder at home and Dazhu keeping an eye on things, there was no need to worry.
When Han Yiyi arrived at the mountain, she already saw people picking mushrooms.
When they got closer to Han Yiyi, they realized that they seemed to only pick up mushrooms that looked normal, such as black fungus, yellow boletus, and matsutake, while ignoring mushrooms like morel, bamboo fungus, chanterelle, and white onion mushroom. It was probably because someone had been poisoned by not cooking them properly before, so they were afraid to try these strange-looking mushrooms. However, this was a good thing for Han Yiyi.
Worried that her secret would be discovered, she distanced herself from the others and went to the spot where she had picked chanterelle mushrooms before. Sure enough, before she even got close, she saw a vast expanse of golden yellow. Han Yiyi's eyes lit up at the sight. These weren't chanterelle mushrooms; they were clearly gleaming gold...
Han Yi didn't care about anything else and bent down to pick them up. After filling a basket, she exchanged it for points with the system. After half a day, seeing that her points balance had become 13,000, Han Yi smiled and her eyes narrowed.
I checked the time; it was almost noon. I still needed to prepare lunch for the two little ones, so I thought I'd come over earlier after dinner, since no one else wanted the chanterelle mushrooms I ordered anyway.
However, after glancing at her empty basket, Han Yiyi worried that others might become suspicious, and since she herself was also craving bamboo fungus, she decided to pick some to take back for lunch.
Before the basket was even full of bamboo fungus I had collected, I heard that familiar mechanical sound again.
"One pound of wild bamboo fungus can be exchanged for 200 points. Would you like to exchange it, host?"
(To make it easier to remember, the author has standardized the points for each type of fungus, which are unrelated to their usual prices. Please understand.)
Hearing Xiao Hua's voice, Han Yiyi's eyes lit up again. She thought to herself, "It seems that any edible mushrooms on this mountain can be exchanged for points, but the prerequisite is to find a basket." Thinking of this, Han Yiyi's eyes shone even brighter.
However, it was indeed getting late, and since the villagers didn't want the bamboo fungus and chicken oil mushrooms, they were all hers. Moreover, she now had a plan to quickly earn points, so she wasn't in a hurry anymore. Without lingering, she got up and carried the bamboo fungus down the mountain.
The Little Flower System, seeing that it hadn't exchanged with it again, displayed a "Hmph!" on the screen and then disappeared.
On his way down the mountain, Han Yi saw a somewhat familiar figure picking mushrooms with his head down.
Han Yiyi saw the figure, glanced at the basket placed not far away, raised an eyebrow, and walked over.
The person bending over and picking mushrooms was none other than Granny Fan. She was so hungry that she had no choice but to pick some mushrooms to fill her stomach when she got home.
Because all the edible food in the house was snatched up on the wedding day, when they later took the village chief to Mrs. Huang's house, they could only bring back oil and salt. After all, people took the wedding gift money to your house for the banquet, and if they didn't get to eat the banquet, it was only natural for them to pack some food to take home. There was no way to get it back unless the wedding gift money was returned.
But the money given as gifts was gone when she woke up this morning. It must have been taken away by Ye Cuihua and the others when they left. Thinking of this, Granny Fan was furious.
Han Yi quietly walked to Granny Fan's basket, peeked inside, and found that there were not only mushrooms, but also some weeds.
It must have been brought in along with the mushrooms. Han Yiyi was a little disgusted, but since it was being exchanged for the system anyway and not for her own consumption, she didn't care. So she reached for the basket on the ground. Sure enough, as soon as she lifted the basket, a familiar mechanical voice sounded in her ear.
"Three and a half catties of wild black fungus, wild yellow boletus, and wild matsutake mushrooms can be exchanged for 700 points. Would you like to exchange them?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Han Yiyi quickly tapped the spot, and sure enough, in the next instant, only a few weeds remained in Granny Fan's basket. Han Yiyi quickly put the basket back in its original place.
Just as my hand left the basket, I heard Xiaohua's mechanical voice again, and it seemed to carry a hint of disdain.
"Please make sure the mushrooms you exchange are clean and properly sorted next time. If you do not do this again, I will refuse to exchange them..."
Hearing the mechanical voice in her ear, Han Yiyi was speechless for a moment, thinking to herself, "This thing is getting more and more pretentious. It's just that I didn't exchange the ginseng for it last time." But speechless as she was, seeing the extra 700 points in her balance and the few weeds in Granny Fan's basket on the ground, she felt extremely happy.
Old Mrs. Fan was bending down to pick mushrooms, but when she thought of Ye Cuihua having abducted her son, she sat down on the ground in anger. When she looked up and saw Han Yiyi not far away, her anger intensified, and she started cursing.
"You useless little whore, stop right there! If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't have remarried..."
In Fan's wife's opinion, if Han Yiyi hadn't been useless and unable to earn more money, her son wouldn't have remarried, and if he hadn't remarried, the events of the past two days wouldn't have happened.
To put it bluntly, Old Lady Fan had been upset these past few days and wanted to vent her anger on Han Yiyi, whom she considered an easy target.
