Chapter 65: Giving Ginseng



Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.

The old Fu family drove away Fubao and the second branch's family.

The ginseng was divided and sent to each household. Except for a few families, no one was embarrassed to accept such a valuable item.

Especially those families who had the same bad luck as Lao Fu’s family, the children of those families didn’t even participate in digging ginseng.

However, Fu Dabai, who was there to deliver the ginseng, left the ginseng to them on the grounds that these people had taken good care of them in the past.

These people also included the family of Village Chief Mo, because Lian Niang and Nian Niang also suddenly fell ill, and their little grandson Mo Goudan also participated in digging ginseng, so Fu Dabai also went to send them off.

According to Doctor Zhang, these ginsengs are not very old, so the price will not be too high, but the quantity is large, and the total value is estimated to be more than one thousand taels.

Village Chief Mo believed that even if he was not greedy for money, he could not give it away like this. Wouldn't that be the same as giving away all the money he had earned?

Village Chief Mo looked at the ginseng in front of him, frowned and said to Fu Dabai:

"What is this for! Take it back!

Don’t send any more gifts to other places. I will get the ones you sent back for you.

One or two of them are outrageous. They accept everything, no matter how expensive it is, and give away everything, no matter how expensive it is!

I'm really sorry to you. Just give each family some copper coins as wages. I have asked Goudan, and you know that it was Fubao from your second wife who found the ginseng with them. At best, those children just helped to dig it and carry it back.

And those few families who are sick and unlucky, what does it have to do with your family? Is it necessary for you to send these things?

What good will in the past? We lived in the same village, and had only a handful of rice and vegetables. You are acting as if we are after this!"

Village Chief Mo was so angry that his beard stood up, as if he had been greatly insulted.

If he didn't say that, Fu Dabai might not say anything.

After all, Fubao was picked up by their family and kept. If the rumor got out and someone really believed it, their family would be in trouble. But if Village Chief Mo said so...

Fu Dabai looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he could only make up a lie and whispered:

"Please keep it for the sick in your family, and also warn those unlucky families in the village not to sell it for money.

I... I can't explain it clearly, but I heard people say a few years ago that ginseng is spiritual.

If you are a kind-hearted person, you will want to save someone if you feel that someone is in trouble.

Ginseng with a bad heart will run away when it sees people trying to dig it.

I thought that this ginseng must have a good heart and must have shown up on purpose because he sensed that someone in the village was in trouble!

Otherwise, think about it, how could a child like Fubao have so much good fortune that he could find ginseng just by going up the mountain.

Don’t say that she is blessed. She must have accumulated countless virtues so that God can give her such luck that everything she wants can come true. Only then can she deserve these three words!

How could it be possible when she was only a few years old in this life? If it was true, it must have happened in the previous life.

But if she had such great virtue in her previous life, how could she come to a peasant family like ours and suffer hardship?

No matter how we look at it, there is no wealth and glory for our family to enjoy. Even if there is, it will take many years to come.

I think if God still sends a lucky person who has everything he wants, then she is definitely not the one who has done good deeds, but us. She is at best a ghost who has to pay off her debts. "

Screw her grandma's debt-paying ghost and lucky bag, she is just a disaster-making evildoer! Debt-collecting ghost!

Fu Dabai cursed inwardly, and wanted to ask himself and his family what sin they had committed in their past life to have encountered such a weird thing.

And they couldn't say it. If they really told this, they would probably be hated to death, after all, that thing was caused by their family.

As for dividing the family, what's the point? Even if you break bones, you can't stop the tendons. To put it bluntly, we have to catch them first to kill all nine generations of the clan!

Even though their family was harmed like this, how could that unfortunate family listen to anyone! They were really harmed for no reason!

They said back then that they would not leave Fubao behind at all, but now nothing has happened. How come they can't clear themselves of this matter?

No matter how hard it is, you have to endure it, and even find ways to prevent her from harming the villagers again!

Fu Dabai was so angry that his teeth were itching, but the expression on his face was restrained, just like usual.

Village Chief Mo thought about this and felt that something was a little strange, but he couldn't put his finger on why. After listening to Fu Dabai's words, he felt that they made sense, so he stroked his beard hesitantly:

"That seems to make sense."

He had indeed heard that ginseng could run, but he had never heard that it had a heart. But regardless of whether the legend about ginseng was true or not, Village Chief Mo did not believe that Fubao was some kind of lucky charm.

He always felt that the child was really cute and likable at first glance, making people unable to help but look at her, but her behavior and eyes were not right.

Village Chief Mo didn’t know why his little grandson liked to play with her.

Fu Dabai nodded: "That definitely makes sense. I think this is very likely."

Seeing that they really cared about the villagers and were willing to give such a valuable gift just for a rumor about ginseng that they heard from nowhere and was not sure whether it was true or not, Village Chief Mo was quite touched and patted him on the shoulder:

"Okay! You've grown up and stopped playing tricks! Then I'll accept it! I'll remember this favor!"

"Oh! What's the point of being affectionate? If you don't forget to tell those families, I'll thank you. I should have told them just now, but I was afraid that they wouldn't believe me, so I thought of troubling you!"

Village Chief Mo nodded and said, "Your daughter is so nagging, but she can't forget me. I'll go now."

"By the way, don't leave yet," Village Chief Mo grabbed Fu Dabai's wrist and shouted towards the courtyard:

"Well, the second son's wife, there's a fat chicken at home, catch it and bring it back to Fu Da!"

"It's not you..." Fu Dabai hurriedly tried to refuse.

But he was interrupted by Village Chief Mo:

“Don’t tear it, it’s for the patient at home, not for you.

The chicken is very fat and doesn't lay any eggs. You can take it home and stew it for your family to nourish their bodies. Your family has committed a serious sin this time and needs to be nourished.

There is nothing else at home, except these chickens and ducks, which are well raised. Come and eat if you want.

This is an invitation from an old man like me. There is no need for you to climb over the wall and steal it like you did when you were a kid. If you refuse it, you will be ungrateful.

I will immediately use a big stick to throw you and the ginseng out together, and you will never be able to enter my house again!"

Fu Dabai couldn't help but look at the backpack containing ginseng. There was no ginseng in it at the moment, but it was filled with various chickens, ducks, fish, meats, eggs, radishes, vegetables, and fine rice and noodles.

There was a big basket full of things, all of which were just delivered by various families. He was like a peddler purchasing goods.

When Fu Dabai walked out of the Mo family, he was holding a hen that was so fat that it could hardly flutter.

People along the way said they envied his family for having so many ginsengs.

Or joke that he looks like a peddler.

Or praise their family for being honest and generous, and not forgetting their neighbors when they have good things.

Or maybe they thought that his family split up because the second son stole the money for Ganoderma lucidum and had a quarrel over ginseng, so they comforted him by letting the tree grow bigger and branches out.

Even though the second brother is rich, he can't forget his mother, father and brothers. This is good advice for him to not take it to heart and not really hurt the harmony among brothers.

Occasionally there are a few sour words, saying that they are not lucky enough and don’t have such good luck, but no matter what is said, most of them are well-intentioned.

Fu Dabai smiled and chatted with them as they walked home.

But my heart became heavier and heavier, with an inexplicable guilt, because I was afraid of the consequences of telling the truth and not being able to remind the villagers in time.

He was also afraid that he and his family would not be able to stop Fubao from harming others in time.

Once you carry this debt of conscience, it becomes heavier and harder to get rid of, and the more you think about it, the more uncomfortable you feel.

Fu Dabai couldn't help but curse:

"Fuck! What luck! To run into such a disaster!"

I pushed the door open and came in, only to hear screaming and shouting coming from the third room.

His daughter was tremblingly supporting his wife, who was supposed to be lying down to recuperate, and the two of them were moving towards the third room with difficulty.

The girl was still advising:

"Hit twice!

"Third aunt! You must listen to grandma! Don't beat the child to death!"

Fu Dabai, who was carrying a basket full of chickens, ducks, fish and meat and holding a fat chicken in his hand, was even more confused than the stupid fat chicken in his hand:

"What's going on here?"

As he said this, he quickly locked up the fat chicken, put down the backpack and went forward to help the mother and daughter!
