She intuitively felt that the ginseng was stolen by Chen Wu.
"Mom, I'm going to the mountain to see if there's anything to eat, so I can do my bit for the family."
When Mrs. Lu heard that she was going to the mountains, she said, "There's heavy dew in the mountains, and there are wild animals. The eldest son next door was gored by a wild boar two days ago. Don't go. Just study hard."
"I don't ask for much money, I just want stability and to be free from injustice."
Long Yujiao smiled and said, "It's okay, I know you care about me, mother. There are so many people on the mountain these days that the wild boars don't dare to come out. I've learned enough, so I just want to go out and relax."
"I can't help at home when I'm busy, so I want to help you more during my free time."
After these words, Old Mrs. Lu felt relieved. The third and fourth sons' families were no match for Yujiao, especially compared with the third son's family. The third son's words were so infuriating.
When Shen Wu entered the mountain and saw several kinds of mushrooms, she realized that she had no idea which mushrooms were poisonous and which were not.
I searched the crowd and saw the woman I had admired so much when we took the bus last time. I remember her name was Yang Maimiao.
Chen Wu went up to her and said, "Sister Mai Miao, I don't know which mushrooms are poisonous and which are not. Can you teach me?"
"This candy is what I bought last time. Try it." Chen Wu said as she handed over a few White Rabbit milk candies. There was no other way as there was still a lot of this candy at home. Lu Xuan bought too much.
The round-faced woman looked to be in her twenties. When she saw Shen Wu's face, she smiled first, "No need for sugar. It's not a laborious task. Just follow me and I'll teach you."
"Eat it quickly and try it, or I won't bother you next time if I have something to do."
She was polite and pretty. Sugar was a rare commodity here, and not many people would buy it unless it was a festival. Yang Maimiao still collected some and put them in her pocket. "You are polite, better than Aunt Lu. She is stingy. You can take advantage of others, but you can't take anything from her pocket."
"If you don't work in the fields, everyone in the village will know. My mother said it for a while, but if it goes on for a long time, you will definitely be scolded by your mother-in-law. Pick more. Besides eating it yourself, you can dry it and eat it in the winter. If you are short of money, you can sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative or state-owned restaurants and make some money."
After receiving the candy from Chen Wu, Yang Maimiao became much more enthusiastic when teaching her——
"This chicken drumstick mushroom is delicious."
"This is a little gray mushroom!"
"Don't take this, it's poisonous."
…
"Wait a while, when the hazel mushrooms grow, they'll be delicious! Stew a little chicken with them."
Shen Wu's mouth was watering at what the aunt said, and she was already imagining when she could have a meal of stewed chicken with hazel mushrooms.
Chen Wu mingled with the others, but Xu Yin was not used to this kind of environment, so she went to pick the wood ear mushrooms from the dead tree by herself.
The mountains were rich in supplies after the rain. Chen Wu picked half a basket of mushrooms and almost recognized all the edible ones. She found an excuse to go and talk to Xu Yin.
I didn’t see Xu Yin, but I saw Long Yujiao and Lu Laowu first——
