They wouldn't even look at a man who's ugly and oblivious to his own flaws, and who's also fickle. He has a decent fiancée, yet he still cheats on her with Chu Wan'er. Knowing his reputation is ruined and he can't find a partner, he tries to get close to them. Does he really think they're garbage collectors?
After returning home and resting for a while, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue went out again. No matter what happened, they couldn't stop making money.
Just as Wen Xi was about to leave, there was a knock on the door. Knowing it wasn't Shen Jiaojiao or the others, Wen Xi asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Lin Yiwan," Lin Yiwan said from outside.
Wenxi opened the courtyard gate and saw Lin Yiwan and Lin Yihui standing outside. She invited them in and told them to sit down in the main room. She then brewed lotus seed tea for them.
Lin Yihui sipped her tea and looked around. Their home was clean and tidy, and looked very cozy.
"Yiwan, what brings you here so late?" Wen Xi asked curiously as she sat down opposite Lin Yiwan.
"It's July now, and the mountains are full of mushrooms. Some of them are especially delicious. Let's go mushroom picking tomorrow morning!" Lin Yiwan invited.
Since she had nothing planned for tomorrow, Wenxi nodded in agreement. "Okay, let's go mushroom picking together tomorrow. I really like mushrooms! Some mushrooms make a delicious soup."
Lin Yiwan and Lin Yihui chatted at Wenxi for a few minutes before heading back.
The summer night breeze brings a touch of coolness and comfort, it's so pleasant. The moonlight and starlight tonight are also beautiful, making people feel happy.
Lin Yiwan reached out and took Lin Yihui's arm, asking curiously, "Big brother, do you really not like Xiaoxi?"
"I don't like her." Lin Yihui reached out and rubbed Lin Yiwan's arm. "I only see her as a younger sister, so don't worry about me, okay?"
"Fine!" Lin Yiwan pouted unwillingly.
She likes Wenxi, and they have things to talk about, so she hopes that Wenxi can become her sister-in-law. Even if Wenxi becomes a military wife and can't live like an ordinary couple with Lin Yihui, she can still take care of Wenxi for her brother. But her brother just doesn't want to.
Fine, since her older brother isn't willing, she won't worry about it anymore.
I hope that if Wenxi marries someone else in the future, I won't regret it.
About ten minutes after Lin Yiwan left, Wen Xi locked the door and left.
The next day, Wenxi got up early. She first harvested the vegetables in both yards, and then started pickling vegetables. She pickled long beans, green peppers, and cucumbers, making a jar of each. She then moved them to the kitchen and placed them in a corner. They would be ready to eat in a few days, and she wouldn't have to go to other people's houses to exchange pickled vegetables anymore.
A lot of the dried vegetables had already been dried, so there was no need to continue drying them. Wenxi kept the remaining vegetables for lunch and dinner, and stored the rest in the system warehouse.
After hearing noises coming from Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue's rooms, Wen Xi hurried to the kitchen and took out the breakfast she had prepared earlier from the system's storage.
A large bowl of mung bean porridge, boiled eggs, pancakes, and a small bowl of pickled vegetables.
Wenxi now occasionally boils a pot of water to let smoke rise from the chimney, so that others won't think the three of them are trying to become immortals and don't eat every day.
She has a well-maintained kitchen, so why would she choose to suffer the hardship of cooking outside?
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue got up, washed up, and then went to the kitchen for breakfast.
"Xiaoxi, thank you for your hard work." Shen Jiaojiao picked up her own egg, gently tapped it on the table, then peeled it, took a bite, and found it tender and flavorful. Shen Jiaojiao ate with great satisfaction.
"I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, what's so hard about it?" Wen Xi smiled.
The three of them divided all the housework, each taking on one-third of the tasks. Unlike other daughters-in-law who take on 100% of the housework by themselves, that's truly hard work!
Then Shen Jiaojiao scooped up another spoonful of mung bean porridge and ate it. It was cool and refreshing, and the mung beans were very soft and tender. She didn't even need to chew them; she just swallowed them directly.
Living with Wenxi, the standard of living is just too high.
Everyone enjoyed a hearty and delicious breakfast. After breakfast, it was already light, but the light was not yet glaring. The three of them carried baskets on their backs and went out.
There are plenty of mushrooms on the mountain in July, so of course we should take this opportunity to pick as many as possible.
The three of them waited at the courtyard gate for a while before they saw Lin Yiwan. Lin Jing, Lin Lan, and Lin Qing were also there. After the six of them met up, they headed down the mountain.
Once on the mountain, everyone split up to search for mushrooms, avoiding the deeper parts of the mountain and focusing on the outer and middle layers. Since there were no large prey on this mountain, there was no danger.
In July, there were many mushrooms on the mountain, and everyone quickly started picking them. There were other varieties of mushrooms as well, but porcini mushrooms were the most abundant. Although the taste of porcini mushrooms was just average, the sheer quantity made them incredibly satisfying to pick. After picking them, you could wash off the dirt and sand, dry them, and keep them for later consumption.
The temperature is slightly lower in some parts of the mountain, so there are also some bamboo fungus in some places. Clusters of bamboo fungus eggs are closely packed together. Not long after they are picked, the bamboo fungus will bloom and then turn into white and tender mushrooms, which look very tempting.
Wenxi isn't an encyclopedia, so naturally she can't recognize every kind of mushroom. Although she's read a mushroom encyclopedia, she doesn't remember all the edible varieties. Therefore, when picking other types, she always checks with the system to confirm that they are edible and non-toxic before picking them.
Wenxi and her friends set off early, so there weren't many people on the mountain at first. After a while, many people came up the mountain, and it gradually became lively.
At first, Wenxi stored all the mushrooms she picked in the system warehouse. But after more people came to the mountain, Wenxi stopped cheating and obediently put the mushrooms in her basket.
After filling the basket and the carrying basket, Wen Xi turned back to find everyone. She had only walked for a few minutes when she ran into Gu Huai'an. Luckily, she had already stopped cheating, otherwise Gu Huai'an would definitely have seen through her.
"Wenxi, I've heard that some mushrooms are highly poisonous, and eating just one bite can kill you. Could you please teach me how to identify mushrooms? We started working as soon as we arrived and haven't had time to grow vegetables. Right now, we can't even get any vegetables to eat," Gu Huai'an said to Wenxi apologetically.
Gu Huai'an is new, and Wen Xi doesn't know him well. She hasn't noticed anything wrong with him yet, so she naturally won't treat him the same way she treats other people.
