Chapter 209 Picked from my own mountain
Fu Qingye shuddered with fear and looked at Fu Weixin subconsciously.
The one who spoke to stop her was Fu Weixin.
Fu Weixin didn't think much about it at first. He thought that Fu Qingye knew that Xia Juanjuan studied Chinese medicine with Teacher Fu in the countryside, and deliberately brought it up to help Xia Juanjuan and let everyone not look down on her just because she was from the countryside.
Who would have thought that as they listened, something seemed more and more wrong, and in the end, it became completely sarcastic and looked down on country people!
In fact, Fu Weixin knew to some extent that Wenhui died early due to illness, and the family was made up of men, none of whom knew how to take care of a child, especially a daughter, so Sun Chunhua raised her.
Even if Sun Chunhua stayed in the Fu family for more than ten or twenty years, she could not change the fact that she was an illiterate rural woman. As a result, Fu Qingye was taught in a wrong way and would show some arrogance and contempt for the rich from time to time.
However, after Fu Weixin and Old Master Fu found out, they became stricter with Fu Qingye, hoping to change her temper.
Fu Qingye may not be good at other things, but she is very good at pretending to be a good girl. Fu Weixin thought that she had been corrected, so he didn't take it too seriously.
Moreover, when Fu Qingye took the initiative to propose to go to the countryside to work as a production team member, Fu Weixin was actually very happy, thinking that this child was very conscious.
It's a pity that Fu Qingye came back in disgrace within a year...
Fu Weixin saw that Fu Qingye's face turned pale with fear, so he didn't know what to say. He said to Xia Juanjuan, "Juanjuan, don't take Qingye's words to heart. Rural people have sacrificed much more for the country and the people than we city dwellers who don't do anything productive. You should be proud of being a rural person!"
Xia Juanjuan nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Fu, don't worry, I won't take it to heart. Besides, maybe I was wrong, the chicken soup contains ginseng slices."
She didn't care what happened to Fu Qingye, but she still had to consider the Fu family's reputation.
She didn't expect that Fu Qingye had set a trap here. She shouldn't have told her truthfully that it was licorice tablets.
Now think about it, the Fu family used licorice slices to stew chicken soup and lied that it was ginseng slices. If this were to get out, the Fu family would definitely be laughed at by outsiders.
Therefore, even though she had misidentified the secret of the medicinal herbs, she had to memorize them in order to be more effective in the battle.
Of course, if she had just said it was ginseng, Fu Qingye would have certainly laughed at her for pretending to know something and not being able to tell the difference between licorice and ginseng.
However, she didn't mind being blamed. She didn't think it was shameful to have a rural household registration, nor did she want to create a persona that she knew Chinese medicine and herbs. So her attitude was particularly sincere and frank, neither humble nor arrogant.
Li Zhan was stunned. He didn't expect that his wife would be so calm and endure Fu Qingye's provocation and trap.
You know, he had seen his wife beat people up directly on several occasions, and she was fierce, cool and beautiful.
However, he soon realized that the reason Xia Juanjuan could tolerate Fu Qingye at this moment was just for him, and to avoid making things more awkward for the Fu family.
Li Zhan reached out and held Xia Juanjuan's hand under the table with emotion.
Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment and wanted to break away, but after thinking it over, she couldn't bear to do so and let him hold it.
Master Fu knocked his cane and said, "Don't mention it. Ginseng or licorice are both good Chinese medicines for the body. It's not a big deal! Let's eat!"
After the old man spoke, no one mentioned it anymore and they all focused on eating. Fu Qingye felt very upset. She had obviously made Xia Juanjuan look ridiculous.
Only Fu Nanzheng looked at Xia Juanjuan deeply.
After dinner, Yanyan, Yeye and Yaoyao woke up. Fu Weixin happily picked up the children and played with them in a clumsy way. At the same time, he scolded Fu Nanzheng with a stern face, forbidding him to come over and snatch these fat grandchildren from him.
If you want to hold a son, you can give birth to one and hold him there if you have the ability!
Fu Nanzheng rubbed his nose and had to give in to his father.
It’s not like he doesn’t want to get married, it’s just that he hasn’t met the right person?
Yuanchao and Heping also took Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei to play with their building blocks. Heping even gave Beibei one of his little rabbit dolls. Yuanchao also gave Xiaowen and Xiaowu several of his glass balls, asking them to take them back to the village to play with.
Fu Qingye failed to slap Xia Juanjuan in the face, so he went back to his room to sulk.
Aunt Sun seemed to be afraid of Xia Juanjuan. She didn't even have the courage to look her in the eye again. After dinner, she quickly cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen.
After playing for a while, Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan stood up and said goodbye.
Only then did Xia Juanjuan take out the wooden box.
Li Zhan said with a smile: "Master, Uncle Fu, these are what my wife picked from the mountain. They are not worth much. You can keep them to replenish your body."
Although Fu Qingye was in her room upstairs, she was still paying close attention to what was happening downstairs. When she heard that Xia Juanjuan had another gift, or one she had picked from the mountain, she secretly opened the door and listened.
Fu Nanzheng took it first and said with a smile, "Juanjuan picked it herself in the mountains? It's much more precious than buying it with money. Let me see what it is."
As soon as he saw it, Fu Nanzheng was shocked.
Isn't this worth the money?
Although Fu Nanzheng studied Western medicine, he is also well versed in traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicinal materials.
There is a saying that there are nine magical herbs in Chinese medicine. Among these nine herbs, one of them weighs three taels of wild ginseng!
The growing environment of wild ginseng is harsh, and it takes at least ten years for it to grow to thirty-two grams in weight.
And what was placed in the wooden box was a wild ginseng!
