Yu was a little surprised: "Child, this thing is not easy to find. I'm afraid it took a lot of effort, right?"
Tang Youyou shook her head: "Aunt, I was lucky. I went to the mountains to look for big wood, stepped on empty ones, and picked some!"
"Take this thing back, it can be sold for a lot of silver!"
"If it doesn't rain, these mushrooms won't grow big, and they won't look good if sold. However, even though they're small, I think they'll still taste good in soup. Auntie, you don't mind their size, do you?"
Yu Shi glanced at her with a reproachful look: "Child, is your aunt that kind of person?"
Seeing this, the Bai clan leader said, "Alright, since it's a sincere gift from the child, just keep it! Go and bring some sweet soup!"
Youshi went out with a smile.
"I heard your family started building a house?"
"Uncle Patriarch is truly perceptive! I came here today just for this matter!"
"Oh? If there's anything I can help you with, old man, just tell me!"
She grinned and said, "It's true that nothing can be hidden from the clan leader. There really is something that requires your intervention!"
He glanced at Tang Wu, meaning to ask him to learn something.
Chief Bai asked doubtfully, "Oh? Tell me about it!"
"The clan leader also knows my family's situation. We made some money by selling two wild boars, but there are still too many things we need at home!"
"Besides, we don't have any land, so we need a way to make a living. My brother fainted a while ago and was saved by a herbalist. He's looking to buy herbal medicine..."
Tang Wu widened his eyes, then quickly lowered his head. When has his sister ever lied without blushing?
The patriarch grasped the key words: "Herbs? You said that rush, houttuynia cordata, plantain... are all herbs?"
He stood up a little excitedly.
She shook her head and said, "I don't know the details, but my brother is a young man. He went to other villages to collect grass, but people didn't believe him. So I want to ask the tribe leader to help."
As for why they didn’t invite the village head, it was because his health was not very good and they were afraid of unnecessary complications.
"you mean?"
"The tribe sent a few men to promote the sale. Each man was paid 20 coins a day. The herbs were only collected for seven days. The herbalist left after seven days."
The patriarch was originally skeptical of her words, but You brought in two bowls of sugar water.
"Old man, this is a good thing. Who would want that grass? Even pigs won't eat it. This will benefit the people. Why are you still hesitating?"
Tang Youyou picked up the bowl and took a sip: "Auntie, this sugar water is really delicious!" After that, he took out two taels of silver from his sleeve.
"It's no use wasting your time. I really have no other choice. I'm just a woman, and my brother is just a little boy..."
The Bai clan leader glared at her and said, "What are you doing? It's such a small matter, I can just say a word. I know the village chiefs of several nearby villages. You don't need the silver, take it back!"
Yu Shi also stuffed the silver into her hands and said, "Child, your family is just getting by. You will need money a lot in the future. Remember, don't show off your wealth!"
Tang Youyou was somewhat moved as she held the silver tightly and stood up: "Then thank you, Uncle Clan Leader!"
When he left, he carried another basket of radishes and cabbages, and Tang Wu felt a little embarrassed.
"Sister, you don't even blush when you lie!"
"What do you know? It's a white lie for a special purpose in a special period."
Tang Wu began to imagine: it turned out that his sister fainted and was saved by a drug dealer, and in order to repay the dealer, he collected herbs for him.
"Did you eat the pig's tail? You're walking so slowly!"
Tang Youyou stuffed two taels of silver into his hand, shocking him so much that he was speechless for a long time.
"Look at you, you look so ugly. This isn't for you. I'll collect it from every village tomorrow. After I'm done, I'll help you find a wife!"
Tang Wu blushed and stamped his feet: "Sister, you are making fun of me again..."
"Tsk tsk! A grown man is still shy!"
"I tell you, you need to be thick-skinned to marry a wife..."
The sound gradually faded away.
Two people emerged from a haystack not far away.
"How is it? I'm not wrong, this widow Tang has quite a bit of money."
"I heard she's quite strong, I don't want to suffer in silence!"
"Are you stupid? What are you afraid of if there's drugs?"
The man touched his chin and said, "Okay, we agreed to split the profits 50-50 afterwards..."
"I'll listen to you, but this body must belong to me..."
"Tsk, what's so interesting about that shriveled body? Just take it if you want!"
The two of them imagined a life of luxury and extravagance here.
In the evening, Tang Youyou took out her underwear and handed it to her mother.
"Mother, this is a gift from the gods, please take a look!"
Tang's mother looked at it in the moonlight and asked, "What is this?"
Tang Youyou chuckled: "Mom, underwear, underwear!"
Tang's mother slapped her and said, "You silly girl, you took out something so private like that?"
She complained in her heart, why can't I take it out? The workmanship is very ancient.
I didn't want to be tapped on the forehead: "From now on, you are not allowed to take out the things given by the gods, otherwise there will be endless troubles..."
"I know, I know... Mom, please try it on and see if it fits you. I'll get two for Huahua..."
Tang's mother grabbed her and said, "Did you forget that you didn't go to the county town today? How are you going to explain where you came from then?"
Tang Youyou felt a little dizzy. She had actually forgotten about this. She had been extremely nervous these past few days and hadn't had a good night's rest. Her brain was a little insufficient, and she couldn't help but rub her head.
"What's wrong? Youyou, do you have a headache again?"
She shook her head: "Mom, I'm a little sleepy. Please keep this thing for now. I'll go to the toilet and come back to sleep!"
"How about I go with you, kid?"
"It's just a few steps away, and it's not dark yet. No need, Mom, go to sleep."
She had already sent the boys to the main room, but the two rooms were close to each other, and the snoring was still very loud.
She walked to the wall, placed her hands on the herbs, collected three taels of silver in total, and nodded with satisfaction.
The moment I turned around, I heard footsteps.
"Which room?"
"The one on the right!"
Tang Youyou raised an eyebrow. Is this a thief?
With a grin, this guy who was sent here to establish his authority must be treated well.
He just jumped out like a zombie.
“Ah… ghost…”
The two of them collided head-on, and one of them collapsed to the ground, trembling with his eyes closed: "You can't see me, you can't see me..."
Another person knelt on the ground and kowtowed, muttering to himself, "Heaven and earth, please help me, ghosts, and spirits, please don't scare me, and don't try to see my figure!"
Tang Youyou crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. She was really trying to cover up her crime by trying to cover up her crime. Was this the only courage a thief had?
The oil lamp in the room was lit, and she kicked the man to the ground. The two of them wailed, and at the same time realized that it was not a ghost, but Tang.
"What are you doing? Tang, let me go immediately, or you'll be in trouble!"
"Widow Tang, you bitch, how dare you run into ghosts and scare people, I..."
Before he could finish his words, he was slapped several times: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll break your front teeth!"
