No, this is it!
Han Xiaoyu circled the spot where Xu Yan had just dug up wild ginseng several times, but still found nothing.
Could it be that he remembered it wrong?
Han Xiaoyu walked a few more steps deeper into the mountain.
The further I walked, the more panicked I became.
Could it be that he was poached?
No, that's impossible. Few people usually come here. He only ended up here by chance after taking the wrong turn.
He must have remembered the wrong place, or he just didn't look carefully enough.
With that in mind, Han Xiaoyu bent over and searched even more diligently.
Meanwhile, Xu Yan was almost at Xie Zhuo's doorstep.
Fearing that people would discover what was in her basket, she had just dug up some wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain and covered the wrapped ginseng with them.
Sure enough, as soon as she arrived at Xie Zhuo's door, an old woman with one eye stopped her, talking to her while craning her neck to look into her basket.
Xu Yan glanced at her and lifted the basket slightly.
She was tall with long legs, while Granny Tian was only about 1.5 meters tall. Even on tiptoe, she couldn't see the contents of the basket clearly before she looked away.
Seeing that Xu Yan was still deliberately lifting the basket higher, Granny Tian snorted inwardly.
She saw it a long time ago!
She thought it was something valuable, hidden so carefully, but it turned out to be just half a basket of weeds, which she treated like a treasure!
“Little Xu, the educated youth,” Granny Tian said, no longer paying attention to the grass, and winked at Xu Yan.
Xu Yan didn't understand her implication.
The main problem is that her transformation happened too quickly.
He was all gossipy just a moment ago, but now he looks like he wants to drag her into this thievery.
She's not quite used to it yet.
The feeling of stealing is too strong.
However, when Granny Tian pulled her to the side, she followed her.
Now most of the people in the brigade have gone to work in the fields, and there are hardly any people on the roads.
But Granny Tian looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping before turning to Xu Yan and asking, "Are you really going to marry Xie Laosan?"
Xu Yan: "..."
Why does this scene feel so familiar?
Another guy trying to set her up with someone?
To be honest, her marriage to Xie Zhuo was quite bumpy.
“Yes,” Xu Yan nodded.
Waiting for her to continue.
Granny Tian looked at her for a while, but didn't say anything bad about Xie Zhuo or that she should introduce her to another potential partner. However, her next sentence made Xu Yan's expression change immediately.
“I can tell you’re a young girl who’s never taken care of children before,” Granny Tian whispered. “Are you planning to send Xie Laosan’s two nephews away after you get married?”
Xu Yan frowned.
"How about you give me one?"
Seeing that Xu Yan didn't say anything for a while, she said again, "I'll give you 20 yuan."
Xu Yan finally spoke up, and even let out a cold laugh.
"Twenty yuan for a child? Auntie, what are you dreaming of?"
Upon hearing this, Granny Tian assumed Xu Yan was dissatisfied with the price, so she gritted her teeth and said, "50! That's the most I can offer. I'm just trying to help you out!"
"You don't know, kids this age are already starting to remember things. They're hard to tame. Who knows, one day their mothers will come and they'll just leave with them."
"Won't you say you raised it for nothing then?"
"Besides, as the saying goes, being a stepmother isn't easy. Even though you're my aunt, but..."
Granny Tian spoke very quickly, and her mouth showed no sign of stopping.
Since Xu Yan transmigrated here, he has truly witnessed the "diversity of species" in this Qingshan Brigade.
Although it's true that you can find all sorts of birds in a big forest, this Qingshan Brigade is quite peculiar, seemingly gathering all sorts of self-righteous oddballs!
"Thank you," Xu Yan said, interrupting Granny Tian as she took a breath, without paying much attention to what she was saying.
Granny Qian was speaking earnestly when she was interrupted like this, and she almost choked on her breath.
A few seconds later, a deafening cough erupted.
Xu Yan stood a little further away, looking somewhat disgusted.
Granny Tian finally stopped coughing and thought that she had agreed, so her face immediately lit up with joy.
Then Xu Yan said, "I don't know what crime human trafficking is in the countryside, but in the city, it's a crime that will get you arrested and imprisoned."
Granny Tian's expression froze instantly.
People in the countryside don't understand the law, but they are still instinctively afraid of going to jail.
Seeing her reaction, Xu Yan sneered again, "You say such things in broad daylight, which shows that you have done such things before. Judging from this, you should be arrested and imprisoned for at least ten or twenty years."
"You're talking nonsense," Granny Tian was taken aback.
“I’ve never done this before!” Granny Tian shouted.
“So you’re admitting you did it now,” Xu Yan looked at her and continued to make up stories, “you’ll still get a three- to five-year sentence.”
"However, I don't know if anyone will come to visit you in prison."
"I've heard it's tough inside, lots of people didn't make it out..."
As soon as Xu Yan finished speaking, Granny Tian's face turned even uglier.
"I haven't done it! Don't make false accusations against me, you educated youth!"
Seeing her like this, Xu Yan scoffed inwardly. With such audacity, she dared to make a move on Da Bao and Xiao Bao.
After scaring the people, Xu Yan didn't stay long and left without looking back.
She was only a few steps away from the Xie family's house, so she reached out and knocked on the door.
She thought it would be either Da Bao or Xiao Bao who opened the door, but when the wooden door was pulled open, she met Xie Zhuo's gaze.
