Of course, Zhang knew that her daughter had enough food, but this was just a token of appreciation from her family.
Song Lan'er knew that the Song family was poor, and she also thought about teaching her family a skill, or helping them open a shop in town to sell braised food.
But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. If an ordinary person with no power and influence had such a skill, he would most likely be excluded, suppressed, and eventually his life would be ruined because of the secret recipe being robbed.
It’s better to be the local landlord. At least in this small mountain village, no one dares to bully them.
It's time to let my parents go up the mountain to dig up the ginseng.
"Mom, can you ask Dad to help me dig up a Clivia? I found it when I was chopping firewood in the mountains. It had just sprouted then, and it should be grown up now. Please ask Dad to dig it up for me quickly. I'm afraid someone will dig it up if I'm too late."
When she saw the ginseng, she specially found an orchid from somewhere else and planted it next to it.
"What's the big deal, kid? I'll go home and ask your dad to dig it up for you."
After asking for the exact location, Zhang went home.
The couple went to the mountains together and soon found the orchid grass.
"Hey! Dad, look, what is this?"
Song Laosan looked at him as if to say, "Why are you so stupid?"
"Isn't this a wild radish? I'll take it back and add it to my dinner."
The two first gave the Clivia to their daughter.
"Lan'er, look quickly, this Clivia is growing really well."
Song Lan'er took it happily and was about to ask something when she saw her mother take out the ginseng from her skirt.
"I didn't expect there were wild radishes next to this Clivia. They're a little small, but they're big enough to make a bowl of soup."
Song Lan'er quickly took it from her.
My parents, you still want to make soup!
Fortunately, nothing was damaged and it is still quite complete.
I could only tell them what it was and asked them to take it to the provincial capital to sell it.
Ever since they knew that this ginseng was worth a thousand taels, Song's parents carefully collected it.
"Lan'er, how about not selling it and leaving it to you to replenish your body?"
"Dad, Mom, I'm in good health. This is what you dug up, so it belongs to you."
I specifically asked you to dig this ginseng. With this ginseng, at least my family can live a good life and they won't have to suffer from hunger or cold anymore.
The son-in-law, Li Mingchen, drove a horse-drawn carriage and took them to the provincial capital.
In the largest pharmacy in the city, it was sold for a total of three thousand taels of silver.
Even on the way back in the carriage, Song Laosan was still in shock and had not recovered.
Zhang's situation wasn't much better.
Soon the Song family bought 400 acres of fertile farmland and 800 acres of wasteland, becoming the second richest family in Qingshui Village.
Old Master Song knew that all this wealth was brought back by the third son and his wife, so the whole family respected them very much.
"Host, why don't you think of a way to let them separate before telling your parents about the ginseng?"
"Look at this village. Has anyone split up their family? Aren't they all living together? If my parents were the first to step out, they would be isolated by everyone!"
"Besides, there's no need to worry about it. The Song family is very united and has been very good to the original owner. We're all family, so why bother with so much?"
Just when everyone was running towards a better life, Chen Tianbao came back with Song Daya, his face bruised.
An old lady passing by saw this and hurried forward to ask.
"Tianbao Daya, what happened to you two?"
When Song Lan'er heard the news, she hurried to Chen's house with her big belly.
Li Mingchen supported her and said softly:
"Slow down, watch your step."
The Chen family and the Song family have arrived, and Chen Tianbao is saying:
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't taken Daya to the restaurant for dinner, Daya wouldn't have been noticed by that disciple..."
It turned out that the illegitimate son of the county magistrate had taken a fancy to Song Daya and insisted on taking her home as a concubine. In order to protect his wife, Chen Tianbao confronted him head-on, but was defeated and beaten severely by the other party.
Finally, the matter was brought to the government office. Fortunately, the county magistrate was a reasonable person and severely punished the son, giving him thirty lashes with the cane.
He also asked his son to apologize and pay six taels of silver as compensation.
Song Daya supported Chen Tianbao with concern.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone out."
Everyone came to comfort her. How could she be blamed? It was clearly someone else with bad intentions. Neither she nor she was wrong.
In the end, Chen Tianbao stopped going to work in town and stayed at home to work in the fields with a hoe.
Song Daya has been three months pregnant, but after this incident, she has been depressed every day and no longer laughs as cheerfully as before.
"Sister, come to my house and play. I'm bored and have no one to talk to."
"Well, as long as you don't dislike me, I'll go talk to you every day to relieve your boredom."
Li Mingchen, no, Lan'er, isn't your husband always talking to you and keeping you entertained? Don't you want to be your husband anymore?
