"Mother, don't go in there, or you might run into some wild animals."
"Mother, what are you going up the mountain for? I'm going with you!"
"Mom, wild boars have been running out on the east mountain, so there must be some on the back mountain too. Let's not go in there."
When the three Lin brothers saw that their mother had actually climbed up the second mountain and was about to cross it, they immediately shouted loudly and ran up the second mountain with buckets and hoes on their shoulders.
Yue Jiuyue was helpless. She just wanted to find a secluded place to cheat again, so why was it so difficult?
Fortunately, there were still quite a few trees on the mountain, and no one was so hungry that they had to eat tree bark. The trees were mostly still alive and well, and they could provide some shade.
She immediately quickened her pace down the mountain, wanting to dig a large pit before the three men found her.
"Mother! Where are you?"
The three brothers were now anxiously calling out from the mountaintop. Yue Jiuyue, afraid of attracting the villagers, could only respond:
"Hey! I'm here!"
The three brothers immediately slid down the mountain as if they were sliding down a mountain, so fast that Yue Jiuyue only had time to pull the object out of the pit.
“Mother, why did you come here? Few people from our village come here; it’s easy to run into wild animals.”
"Yes, Mom, don't go so far in the future, it's not safe."
"Mother, what are you holding? It's not ginseng, is it?"
As soon as Lin Chaobei finished speaking, Lin Chaodong and Lin Chaonan subconsciously looked at Yue Jiuyue's hand and actually saw a ginseng.
To be honest, they had never actually seen what ginseng looked like; it was just something Lin Chaobei blurted out in a whim.
After all, such things have happened in the village before, but they always happened in other people's homes, and the villagers had only heard about them and hoped for the best.
Who hasn't dreamed of getting rich overnight?
"Have you met the fourth brother before?"
Yue Jiuyue hadn't expected that there would be someone in this family who knew how to appreciate things, so she didn't need to waste her breath explaining.
"Huh? I've never seen it before, Mom. I... I was just saying it offhand."
Lin Chaobei awkwardly touched the back of his neck.
Lin Chaodong and Lin Chaonan withdrew their gazes from Lin Chaobei, thinking that he had actually met him sometime before, but it turned out he was just talking casually.
"Oh, I don't know if this is ginseng or not. I just thought it looked a bit like ginseng, so I dug it up to ask at the town clinic. If it is, we can have a little more money to be on the safe side. If it isn't, it's just a waste of time."
Yue Jiuyue carefully placed the ginseng in the basket. Although it was artificially cultivated and not worth much, it was indeed genuine ginseng. The thirteen ginseng roots weighed a total of 250 grams and cost her less than 30 yuan.
Of course, there are also more expensive ones. A 100-gram ginseng root costs about 300 yuan. Without knowing whether it's genuine or not, she was really reluctant to spend the money.
There was nothing she could do; she was too poor!
"Mother, if this really is ginseng, does that mean our family will be rich!"
Lin Chaobei reached out and touched the ginseng, his face beaming with a wide smile.
"What unrealistic dreams are you having! This isn't a hundred-year-old ginseng."
Although Lin Chaodong also hoped that this plant could be ginseng, it was so small and didn't look very old. Even if it really was ginseng, he probably wouldn't be able to sell it for much money.
Stories of century-old ginseng and spirits are not uncommon in the village.
