Chapter 85 86. He Family Affairs
Hong Daya touched a handful of the sticky liquid on the yam, then put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, "Is this thing really edible?"
Jin Qianqian couldn't demonstrate it on the spot right now. "Yes, it's delicious whether you roast it or cook it. Besides, it's a kind of Chinese medicinal material. It's good for your body, not harmful."
"How do you know?" Hong Daya asked casually, her tone full of curiosity.
"These are what my husband has read in books before. It seems that they are also recorded in medical books. They can be used as medicine and as food." Jin Qianqian saw that Hong Daya had not made a move yet, "Don't you think that Fifth Sister-in-law doesn't believe us?"
Hong Daya waved her hands repeatedly, "That's not what I meant, it's just that I've never seen this thing before, so I can't help but feel a little uneasy. But if Yuan Yu saw this in a book, then there would be no problem.
Sister-in-law, thank you so much. Thanks to you, my sister-in-law is getting an advantage again."
Jin Qianqian helped her pull the yam fruits off the vines. "We can steam these fruits and eat them when we get home. Look how many I have."
Hong Daya's hands moved faster. Although there was no end in sight for this area, don't underestimate everyone's desire for food. Maybe this would be the only trip.
Jin Qianqian was not idle either. While helping her pick the fruits, she also did not forget to help her find the main root along the vine. The two of them worked very well together. By the time Gu Wenheng called the others over, Hong Daya's backpack was almost full.
"Are you sure this thing is edible?" Sure enough, there were still people who had the same doubts.
Hong Daya stood up straight and said with a smile, "My uncle read this in a book. It can be used as medicine and is edible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until we got here to get a bargain."
After hearing and seeing what they had read in the book, everyone felt much more at ease. After Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian's simple explanation, these women who were used to doing farm work were not slow at all, and they kept putting things into their own backpacks.
Jin Qianqian and Gu Wenheng were of course not idle either. After all, they only had one backpack, and the one Gu Wenheng brought was still empty. "Didn't you say you were only looking for a few sisters-in-law? Why are all of them here?"
"The three of them are far away, and I don't know exactly where they are, so I can only yell at the top of my lungs." Gu Wenheng was also helpless.
Jin Qianqian thought of that scene and felt a little regretful. "I should have gone with you to take a look. I didn't know that the power of the senior's lion roar could attract so many people."
Gu Wenheng couldn't help laughing when he thought of the previous scene. "We used to think that the shepherd boy was just a fable, but we didn't expect to encounter it in real life."
Jin Qianqian became interested and said, "Tell me about it quickly."
Gu Wenheng, "Everyone was scattered, and I couldn't find my sister-in-law and her family, so I could only run and shout. Who knew that this caused misunderstandings? They thought I was in trouble, so they grabbed weapons (kitchen knives, machetes, hoes) and chased me out, and the result was that I was in this situation now."
Jin Qianqian, "..."
"You must have been frightened too. Fortunately, I reacted quickly. In order to avoid being beaten, I had to tell the truth." Gu Wenheng held his head while saying this, looking like a scared young man.
Jin Qianqian: "..." You'd be foolish to believe me. We're not fools. How can we not tell what's going on in the screams?
Also, if you want to deceive others, shouldn't you deceive yourself first? You can't even hide the smile in your eyes. Who are you kidding? It seems that the senior has also learned bad things.
Gu Wenheng, "Isn't it funny?"
"That's funny," Jin Qianqian said perfunctorily, "How about you go and yell a few more times to see if you can call Big Brother and the others back?"
Gu Wenheng, "..."

Gu Yuanfeng not only had the bags belonging to her two families tied on her shoulders, but she also carried a load of food on her shoulders. These things used to be pulled by old oxen, but now all the burden was on her.
"Mom, I can't walk anymore." He Chuncao hunched her shoulders, tugged at the corner of her clothes, her eyes full of tears.
"Be good, hold on a little longer, you can rest soon."
He Chuncao's tone was full of grievance, "But, I really can't carry it anymore, Mom, didn't you say that you would help me take it off when I can't carry it anymore?"
Gu Yuanfeng gritted his teeth and held on, "But mother doesn't have the strength to help you now, why don't you go ask your grandmother."
He Chuncao pursed her lips and lowered her head stubbornly.
Seeing his sister-in-law and mother-in-law walking in front of him, Gu Yuanfeng finally summoned up the courage to shout, "Mom, I can't carry Xiaocao anymore, can you help me?"
He Zhou didn't even turn her head and cursed, "Help? How can I help? I can hardly walk! That money-loser wants me to do something, don't you think she has the guts to do it?"
As for He Yang, not only did she not turn her head, she was too lazy to even say a word. She quickened her pace, dragging He Dapeng, who was empty-handed, on the road.
As for He Tuping, Gu Yuanfeng had no hope at all. At the moment, he was carrying his own elder brother on his back and didn't even glance at the mother and daughter.
"Then let's take a break," Gu Yuanfeng still felt sorry for his daughter. He put down the burden on his shoulders and was about to help He Chuncao take the package off her back when He Zhou's angry curse came.
"You lazy woman, you're slacking off again. If you fall behind and get dragged away by wolves, you'll get us into trouble.
I'm telling you, even if you're dying of exhaustion, you still have to take care of the food for me. Don't just sit there and be lazy. Hurry up and catch up."
Gu Yuanfeng immediately stopped what he was doing, "Mom, let's take a break. We'll walk faster later."
"I don't care about you so much. I don't mind how that money-loser rests, but these food can't leave my sight. If you don't catch up quickly, believe it or not, I will let my second brother divorce you."
A trace of fear flashed across Gu Yuanfeng's eyes, and he removed his hand from He Chuncao, "Xiaocao, let's hold on for a while. When it's time to rest, mother will rub your shoulders for you."
He Chuncao lowered her head, said nothing, and her tears splashed directly onto the ground.

Village Chief Shi once pressed his temple with a headache, "I said we are all strangers, you followed us all the way, we don't mind, but please don't embarrass us here, quickly get out of the way."
"No, you haven't told us specifically where we are going. Can you guarantee that we can continue to survive?"
Shi Dayong standing by was so angry that he laughed, "Village Chief, what else are you talking to them about? I'll get someone to get them away."
Village Chief Shi pulled him away, but turned to the troublemakers and asked, "Since you don't trust us, why did you follow us for so long?"
Wu Ping pointed at Lan Yun, who was carried along the way by them, and said, "It was that boy who told us that you often receive God's rewards and that you never lack water during the journey. As long as we follow you, we can find water and survive."
