Zhang Xing paused, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Was he that obvious?
He didn't want to say it at first, but since Su Miaomiao asked, he decided to tell the truth.
Su Miaomiao is right, family members should communicate frequently.
So he lowered his eyes and mustered up the courage to speak.
"I think I should let you take the herbs to town and sell them to supplement our family income, but I can't bear to do that. There are several herbs here that I haven't seen before, and I only learned about them after you told me. I really want to keep them for my own research, so I'm torn. I feel sorry for you and my brother, and I'm a bit selfish."
Zhang Xing deeply analyzed his inner thoughts. After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Su Miaomiao.
At this time, he heard Su Miaomiao ask in surprise.
"Why would you think that? We picked these herbs ourselves, and we have uses for them. If we want to keep them, we can. There's nothing selfish about that."
"But we picked these herbs together, not just me. I don't think I have the right to decide whether to keep them or sell them. I should at least discuss it with you, but I don't dare. I'm afraid you'll insist on selling them."
If Zhang Xing had money, he might give Su Miaomiao some money to buy the medicinal herbs.
But the problem was that he had given all his money to Xiao Yunfei before he set off, and now he had no money at all.
Su Miaomiao was surprised to find that Zhang Xing was the kind of person who was prone to internal friction, which was completely different from his carefree appearance.
She felt that she should take this opportunity to speak out, otherwise Zhang Xing would definitely think the same way if he encountered a similar situation in the future.
So she looked at Zhang Xing and said seriously.
"Zhang Xing, you're being too formal. We're a family, and I thought you and I thought the same thing. If that's the case, and you picked most of the bracken, shouldn't I discuss this with you before deciding what to do with it? Shouldn't I also discuss those wild fruits with you before deciding whether to give them to the children?"
"No, there's nothing to discuss. Isn't it normal to give the wild fruits to the children and sell the bracken in town?"
Su Miaomiao knew Zhang Xing would say this, so she immediately seized the opportunity to speak.
"Look, you feel the same way, right? I feel the same way as you do. I also think that you're the doctor, and you're the one in our family who knows the most about medicinal herbs. You can decide how to dispose of them yourself without discussing it with us. I think that's fine, so I didn't discuss it with you and just made the decision. But on the other hand, you think you have no right to decide how to dispose of these herbs. Why are you so hypocritical?"
"What does double standards mean?"
"Double standards mean treating different people with different standards. You allow me to decide how to dispose of the things we collected together without consulting you, but you don't allow me to decide how to dispose of the herbs myself. Now you are being double-standard."
"Oh, that's double standards."
Su Miaomiao realized that the topic had gone off track and quickly spoke up to bring it back.
"Zhang Xing, I'm telling you seriously, the reason you had those thoughts just now is because you don't trust us enough. You don't really regard us as family."
After hearing Su Miaomiao's words, Zhang Xing fell silent.
He reflected on it and felt that he seemed a little awkward and did not accept from the bottom of his heart that he had become a member of this family. He still felt that he was an outsider, so he thought too much and was cautious at certain times.
At this time, Su Miaomiao said again.
"Zhang Xing, it's not your fault that you think this way. It might be that we've been together for too short a time and haven't experienced much together, so you don't have confidence in us. But it doesn't matter. We'll see about it later."
Su Miaomiao pointed at the medicinal herbs and continued.
"I'm telling you right now. From now on, all the herbs we collect will be yours to dispose of. Even if you throw them away or feed them to the dogs, we won't have any objections. I trust you enough, and I believe the choice you make is definitely the best one you can make at the moment."
After Su Miaomiao finished speaking, she realized that there was something wrong with this analogy, and she was so angry that she laughed at herself.
She said quickly.
"It's better not to feed the dog. The dog is so cute. Don't let it get poisoned. You know what I mean."
Zhang Xing was so moved that he almost cried, but when he heard Su Miaomiao say that, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Sister-in-law, why are you so funny?"
Su Miaomiao couldn't help laughing out loud.
The atmosphere was quite serious just now, but now both of them have lost their composure.
Su Miaomiao coughed twice, calmed herself down, and continued speaking seriously.
"Zhang Xing, you call me sister-in-law, so I really think of myself as your real sister-in-law. I feel I have a responsibility to you. I treat you as my own brother. Since we are family, if you do something wrong, I may have to scold you. Don't worry about it. I will not criticize you personally."
Su Miaomiao said this to give Zhang Xing a heads-up, just this once, and she would never say these things again.
She is not a person who likes to preach, and she said all this so that they can get along better and more happily in the future.
Although Zhang Xing insisted on coming with them, Su Miaomiao always felt that Zhang Xing was a victim.
Because she knew in her heart that although living with them seemed to be Zhang Xing's own choice, in fact, Zhang Xing had no other choice. Zhang Xing could only follow them to have a chance to survive.
So she will try her best to make up for Zhang Xing in life.
Su Miaomiao thought of this and said again.
"And let me tell you again, our family isn't short of money right now. Don't always think about making money. Your eldest brother and I will make the money. Do whatever makes you happy. As long as you don't break the law or cause trouble, your eldest brother and I will support you."
Su Miaomiao and Zhang Xing are not much different in age. Before, Zhang Xing never thought of Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei as elders. Until now, he deeply realized that Su Miaomiao really gave him a feeling of family.
Maybe it is true that the elder sister-in-law is like a mother.
Su Miaomiao was willing to tell him so much because she treated him as a family member.
Otherwise, who would waste their breath on an unimportant person.
He suddenly felt that he had someone to back him up and someone to support him.
It's a wonderful feeling.
Su Miaomiao went back to the house after drying the herbs. She had been busy since morning and felt so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back.
After entering the room, she lay down on the kang without saying a word.
"Huh~ It's still more comfortable lying down."
She turned over on the kang and opened the trading system.
After entering, just like before, sell the chicken mushrooms to the system first.
There are still a lot of chicken mushrooms stored in the space. Even if the three opportunities to sell to the system every day are used to sell chicken mushrooms, there will still be enough to sell for a long time.
Today's opportunity to sell to the system has run out, so she went to Taobao system to select agricultural tools.
