Chapter 30: The Yang Family's Daughter-in-law is Thirty
After dinner, the three brothers took the wild duck to the town to sell, while the women and children at home invited each other to pick mushrooms in the mountains.
Lin Wanwan had already swept the place they visited last time, so this time Cai Guifen led the way and they were going to a new forest.
After all, Yang Daya is young and can only walk a short distance.
This time Cai Guifen led the way and it took them half an hour just to get there.
By the time they arrived at the woods, everyone was a little tired.
"You must be tired. Sit down and rest for a while and drink some water. We'll pick mushrooms in this forest later."
"Few villagers come to this forest on weekdays, so there must be a lot of mushrooms in it."
"We have a lot of people this time, so we'll go back after we finish picking up the wild yams in this forest. We'll try to get to the place where Wanwan mentioned there are wild yams before dark and dig them all up to take home."
If Lin Wanwan hadn't told them that the place where the wild yam was found was very hidden, it would not have been discovered.
Cai Guifen would not agree either, so she brought them here to pick mushrooms first and then go dig yams later.
Even Old Man Yang, who didn't go to the town, came along this time.
The women were holding either shovels or sickles, but Old Man Yang was the only one carrying a short-handled hoe.
It is said that he came here to dig some wild medicinal herbs for future use.
Although Old Man Yang is usually quiet, he once learned from the barefoot doctor in the village for two years.
Unfortunately, just two years after completing his studies, the barefoot doctor died in an accident.
If I could study for a few more years, maybe I could get a job at a health center.
Although the town's clinic is not big, the doctors there are paid.
The common people wanted to find a job, but had no way to do so and could only work in the fields.
There is a big difference between people who have a salary and those who don't.
"Mom, I've rested enough. I'm going to go look for mushrooms now."
Lin Wanwan sat down with everyone, drank a few sips of water, and calmed down. Then she picked up her backpack and prepared to look for mushrooms.
She had already seen a mushroom popping up under a tree not far away.
She always felt uneasy when she saw that the food was not put into her pocket immediately.
"Third sister-in-law, you are too diligent."
"Compared to you, my second brother and his wife and I have become lazy wives."
Liu Huazhen hadn't fully recovered her breath yet, but seeing that Lin Wanwan had taken action, she didn't continue sitting and resting.
Instead, he stretched, twisted his waist, and picked up his backpack.
"Sister-in-law, I'm with you."
Before Lin Wanwan came, Wang Baomei and Liu Huazhen were inseparable all day long.
Now they had to split up and act separately, so Wang Baomei subconsciously followed Liu Huazhen.
"Grandma, we're going mushroom picking too."
Yang Daya is young, but her ability to recover is faster than that of adults.
He closed the lid of his kettle and walked towards Lin Wanwan.
Her mother was accompanied by her second aunt, but there was only one person on her third aunt's side, so she had to go and accompany her third aunt.
If Third Aunt is bored, you can chat with her.
The boy Yang Guodong followed old man Yang, and the two of them went to look for medicinal herbs.
Cai Guifen watched as her daughters-in-law were busy with their own things. She also wanted to get up and work, but her body did not allow it.
In the end, I sat for another 5 minutes before starting to look for mushrooms.
There were no accidents while picking mushrooms this time. No wild boars rushed out, and no pheasants or rabbits were seen.
It may be that there were too many people coming, so all the small animals around were scared away.
Although I didn't encounter any small animals, I did pick up a lot of mushrooms.
Everyone worked very quickly. The three daughters-in-law of the Yang family filled their own backpacks first, and then helped the children and Cai Guifen to fill their backpacks as well.
After everyone's backpacks were filled with things, Lin Wanwan picked up her own backpack and weighed it.
The weight is not light, but with her current physical strength she can definitely bear it.
If I had just arrived, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to carry it.
Ever since her soul was completely integrated with this body, she has perfectly inherited the strength of this body.
In addition, there are also bonuses from the system.
Now, Lin Wanwan can carry such a basket of things with ease.
On the way back, Old Man Yang led the way.
The women followed behind, and the children were pushed into the middle.
After walking for more than half an hour, they finally returned home.
Pour the mushrooms under the eaves and cover them with a rag.
Cai Guifen instructed the wives to refill the kettle with water, and took out the sugar from her own room and made a bowl of sugar water for everyone.
Then he brought his family and followed Lin Wanwan to dig wild yam.
Before she got close to the gentle slope where the wild yams were, Lin Wanwan heard some strange noises.
"Hmph~"
"Hey..."
[Host, something bad has happened. A group of wild boars are now at the place where you dug yams last time.]
[They have already opened the hole you dug last time and are eating the yams inside.]
3628 was the first to see the scene ahead. After Lin Wanwan heard its description, her eyes immediately became fierce.
Those were the yams she found, how could they be eaten by a group of wild boars?
However, after weighing the small shovel in his hand, he felt that if this thing were used against a wild boar, it would probably not even cause any wounds to the opponent, let alone hurt the opponent.
He turned his gaze and it fell on the long-handled hoe carried by Old Man Yang.
Because this time they were going to dig yam, Old Man Yang replaced the short-handled hoe with a long-handled hoe.
"Dad, there's the sound of a wild boar ahead. I'll go check it out first."
After saying that, he threw away the backpack on his back, picked up the hoe and ran away.
"My third daughter-in-law, there's a wild boar ahead, why are you still charging forward?"
When Cai Guifen heard what Lin Wanwan said, she wanted to pull her back, but she was a little slow after all, and her fingertips brushed against Lin Wanwan's sleeve.
“Roar, roar, roar…”
Soon, a terrible cry came from the front, probably a wild boar was injured.
Old man Yang took a look at the small shovel stuffed in his hand, threw the shovel to the ground, turned around and snatched the sickle from his eldest daughter-in-law.
"Stay away, I'll go take a look first."
Old man Yang, holding a sickle, chased in the direction Lin Wanwan left.
When he arrived, he found a seriously injured wild boar lying on a gentle slope.
The ground was soaked with blood spurting from the wild boar's wounds.
There was an area that seemed to have been dug up by pigs, and the soil on the ground was turned over.
"Third wife, are you okay?"
Old man Yang rushed over and made sure that the wild boar was dead. Without even looking at the ground, he started checking on Lin Wanwan's condition.
As an old man, he certainly couldn't check it himself, so he could only stand there and observe carefully.
"Dad, I'm fine. I chased away all the wild boars. I only managed to save one."
Lin Wanwan kicked the wild boar's body with her foot. The wild boar shook its fat softly and its body did not move. It must have died.
