Chapter 217: Continue Picking Mushrooms



Without answering her, the two sisters looked at each other and saw rejection in each other's eyes.

"Sister, what should we do? Should we stay?" Chen Ping frowned and looked at the person squatting on the ground.

Shaking her head, He Wanqing waved to the person who greeted them, and turned around with Chen Ping:

"Let's go somewhere else. There will be nothing here."

I was careless. I should have told those people when we separated at noon, so that we wouldn't have ended up with the current situation of Mushrooms being deserted.

"This is the only way. Where are we going, sisters?" Chen Ping looked back every few steps as she stared at the people on the ground, her brows tightly furrowed.

I felt regretful because I should have come here at noon if I had known I would go home.

"Let's go to the place where we dug wild vegetables before. There must be mushrooms there." He glanced at her and mentioned one of the places she often went in her previous life.

In her previous life, in order to make money, she dug wild vegetables to sell in the spring and caught wild fish, pheasants and wild ducks in the summer.

After August, she went to the mountains to pick mushrooms. 365 days a year, when others had time to rest, she was the only one who was spinning around like a snail, just to give those two ungrateful people better living conditions.

In the winter, when the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, she had to wear the only military coat left to her by her father and go up the mountain to hunt to improve the family's food, and exchange the coat for money on the black market.

Thinking of everything in her previous life, He Wanqing closed her eyes, suppressed the resentment and hatred that filled her chest, and walked quickly towards the place where she had picked wild vegetables before.

I was thinking in my heart, when He Cao and the others come back, how can I continue to cut their flesh with the blunt knife and make them suffer excruciating pain.

But before that, the Xu family and He Daniu's families cannot be allowed to live in peace.

Thinking that He's father would be home in a week, she came up with an idea.

Let’s start with Xu Qiuhua’s affair. It just so happens that we can send another one for reformation, and maybe she can even fulfill her romantic ambitions as she did in her previous life.

"Sister, there are so many mushrooms here, how did you find them?"

When they arrived at the place, Chen Ping looked at the mushrooms all over the ground, her mouth wide open, and she looked at her in surprise.

Thinking that this place was not far from the foot of the mountain, whether it was digging wild vegetables or picking mushrooms this time, if she hadn't led the way, she would never believe that there were so many treasures in this broken forest even if she was beaten to death.

"I discovered it by accident one time." She arrived at the place in a daze, and looking at the mushrooms all over the ground, she seemed to recall the scene of herself kneeling on the ground picking mushrooms in her previous life.

Thinking of that scene, she raised her wrist and looked at her slender fingers. In this life, her hands would definitely not be covered with frostbite and cracked wounds like in her previous life.

"Okay, stop looking and start picking them up. Remember, don't tell anyone here. This place is enough for us to fill up our mushroom bags at home."

Looking at the dazed Chen Ping, He Wanqing warned her worriedly.

"Yeah, don't worry. I won't tell anyone except the two of us, my aunt, and my sister-in-law." Chen Ping nodded vigorously to show her agreement.

She thought about picking wild vegetables in the spring and the money she earned privately, and the way she looked at He Wanqing changed.

If they were not cousins, He Wanqing would have suspected that she had a problem with her sexual orientation under her intense gaze, otherwise how could she look at her with such a stinging gaze.

After shaking her body and getting rid of the look just now from her mind, He Wanqing squatted down and started picking mushrooms.

He still used both hands at the same time, and his movements were so fast that Shen Ping was surprised. He then squatted down and started picking up.

Her eyes caught sight of Chen Ping and her back to back, and she once again did the same thing as in the morning, throwing the basket with one hand and throwing space with the other.

Because there were so many mushrooms and they were so big, the two sisters filled their baskets in half an hour.

In order to pick more and not waste time, the two sisters brought the vegetable baskets down the mountain and exchanged them for backpacks back up the mountain.

They sent him home once more in the middle, and only after everyone had finished work did the two of them take He Wanyi and a few others who also wanted to pick mushrooms up the mountain.

Ever since they saw the mushrooms all over the ground, the sisters He Wanyi and He Wanlin couldn't stop smiling.

The two sisters looked at their cousin whose hands were flying, and then looked at the mushrooms under their feet.

The two of them picked up all mushrooms regardless of size, but Chen Ping and He Wanqing had become more extravagant and only picked up the big mushrooms. They would pick up a few of the small ones that they liked, and would just let the ones they didn't like continue to grow.

Gu Ya, Wu Shuling and Zhou Lianyi, who were picking mushrooms for the first time, hurriedly followed the other four's example and picked mushrooms on the ground.

Because there were some inedible mushrooms on the ground, the three of them would pick them up for a while before taking the basket to the four others to ask.

When the seven people went down the mountain, the backpacks of He Wanqing and the other three were full, but the baskets of three people were only half full. Fortunately, it was enough for dinner.

He Wanqing's mother, who had been waiting for her at her house, was shocked to see so many mushrooms in the yard, but she was also busy helping her pick the mushrooms.

When He Wanqing came back with her spoils again, the mushrooms she had brought back earlier had already been packed up by He's mother and placed on the curtain to dry.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Pouring the mushrooms in the basket into the wooden barrel, she looked at her mother with a puzzled look, curious as to why she came to work here instead of resting at home after work.

"You're making a lot of noise here, so I'm thinking of taking you home to stay for two days. I'll ask Erniu and the others to dig a door out of the wall during these two days."

After taking the backpack from her and putting it aside, He's mother looked at her and told her the purpose of her visit.

After taking a look at the ready foundation, He Wanqing walked to the washstand, scooped a gourd of water into the basin, and then shook her head:

"Mom, I'll go back when the door is opened. I won't go back in the next two days. I want to go up the mountain to pick up more mountain products."

People living down the mountain love this, and it just so happens that she can send some to her parents-in-law and some to Uncle Gu.

There is no need to think about it, everyone knows that Uncle Gu and his family must have helped her father.

She is far away now, and I can't send other things, so I'll just send some wild products, which are what they are in short supply of.

"Okay, you stay here first, and come home when the door is opened." After taking a look at her and knowing what she meant, He's mother did not refuse.

She turned and walked out: "I will go up the mountain with you tomorrow, don't forget to wait for me."

Because the favor her husband owed her couldn't be put on her daughter alone, she would pay it back double no matter what.

No, she has to go back to her uncle and ask him to help her exchange some things from the mountains. When she has time in the next two days, she will send some of it to express her gratitude to her in-laws.

"Okay, Mom." She didn't refuse. After watching her mother leave in a hurry, she went into the kitchen to continue making noodles.

Twenty minutes later, looking at the big bowl of eggplant and minced pork noodles on the stool, maybe because she had eaten three or four meals in a row, she looked at the noodles in the bowl with a hint of rejection.

When she thought about the remaining noodles in her space, she suddenly got a headache.

Alas~

If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have made so much noodles and the minced eggplant and meat. Who knows how long it will take to finish this meal.
