Chapter 97: Housekeeper, can you give me some more?



"Aunt."

While they were talking, Ling Cheng stumbled out of the house holding a basket.

Meng Qidi quickly caught her and put her beside her legs, then she untied the sack beside the basket and poured the contents into the basket. Several mixed-hair rabbits timidly huddled together...

The little girl beside him stared with wide eyes, "Aunt, what is this?"

"Rabbit, your aunt asked you to raise it and sell it for money." Ling Jinyue snorted.

Ling Jinming came over curiously, "Did you find the rabbit nest?"

"Of course, he's very powerful. He can take my life with just a wave of his hand." Ling Jinyue said sourly.

If she had the ability to wander around in the mountains every day, who would go to work...

Grandma Wang smiled and said, "Then our little Chengzi will be busy. He has to mow the grass every day."

"Grandma, is it okay for the little rabbit to eat grass?" Ling Cheng asked curiously while guarding the basket.

"Will you give meat to people who eat it?"

"Jin Yue, speak properly!"

The four of them were talking around the basket, and Meng Qidi carried the basket to the well.

Ling Xiao rolled his wheelchair over and followed, "Let me help you, you take a rest."

"I was afraid you might damage it. There are quite a few seedlings in it."

Meng Qidi picked out the Polygonum multiflorum and Pueraria lobata, and poured out the rest carefully.

She knew Polygonum multiflorum and could tell which ones were of how old they were. Ling Jinyue knew Pueraria lobata.

She really didn't find any ginseng, but she did find some Ganoderma lucidum, which was found under many large pine trees. Unfortunately, they were not very old and some were infested with insects. She didn't know what to do with them, so she didn't pick them.

Polygonum multiflorum can be used to make medicine and can be saved and sold later. Pueraria lobata can be washed into kudzu powder when there is time, and it can also be used as a staple food and for cooking.

Seeing that Ling Xiao insisted on staying by her side, Meng Qidi had no choice but to point to the pile of roots at hand and said, "Then help me clean these."

Ling Xiao twitched his lips, "How did you carry so many back?"

"I'm strong, you know that, you wash first, I'll plant these, and then I'll go cook."

Meng Qidi picked up the backpack and walked towards the bamboo stakes.

I took out various seedlings from the basket, classified them one by one, and took a quick look. It turned out that there was about one seedling planted in five bamboo tubes.

As for what these were, she didn't recognize them all, so she threw them all away, except that they were not ugly.

She went to the backyard and dug up a lot of soil, then carefully planted the seedlings there. There was some Yuquan water in the kettle, so she lit a plant after planting it...

By the time all the seedlings were planted, Ling Xiao had already finished washing and went in to cook dinner.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Xiao asked you what to do about these?" Ling Jinming pointed to a pile of things by the well.

"Let it dry there first."

Meng Qidi washed her hands, picked up a bunch of bamboo roots and walked towards the backyard. She planned to plant them before dark because she had to wash the kudzu powder tomorrow.

Ling Jinming and his sister did not stay for dinner and went back with the rabbit.

After learning about several kudzu root fields from Ling Jinyue, Meng Qidi decided that one day when the weather was sunny, she would go to the mountains and dig up some seeds to plant on the wasteland to the west of the house.

For dinner, they had the leftovers from last night. Ling Xiao didn’t kill the rabbit, but saved it for tomorrow.

After dinner, Meng Qidi took a shower and lay down after walking all day.

When Ling Xiao finally finished and went into the room, she was already asleep.

Ling Xiao lay down beside her, glanced at her and then looked away.

Meng Qidi is weird in every way, and I guess she herself doesn't even notice it...

The jujube tree behind the house, the well water, and the strangeness of the pond at the door are not something that can be cured by medicine...

I used to think that my leg would never heal, so I would keep my promise and divorce her after a year and let her go. But now it seems that this won’t work, as it’s easy for something to happen to her.

Although she was careful not to reveal her true colors, and ordinary people really couldn't see it, there were many smart people in the world who could find something wrong, so it was impossible for others not to find it...

He is fine, he can help keep it a secret, but what about others?

However, if Meng Qidi wanted to stay in the Ling family, he had to make her stay willingly. He asked her to decorate the house and the room because he wanted her to feel a sense of belonging...

If she was in charge of everything in the Ling family, would she still be willing to leave?

If she likes herself...

Ling Xiao glanced sideways, his eyes fell on Meng Qidi's fair face. She was really pretty. If his legs were fine, would she be willing to stay in the Ling family?

He didn't know the answer, but he wanted to give it a try. Who wouldn't want such a diligent and beautiful wife? What's more, she was protecting him...

With the corners of his mouth raised, Ling Xiao did not sleep with his back to her like he did the past two days, looking at her face while sleeping in the night...

The next day, when Meng Qidi opened her eyes, she saw Ling Xiao's sleeping face. She was startled and quickly looked down at the quilt wrapped around her body. She didn't find anything wrong with herself and breathed a sigh of relief.

If she falls asleep and does something stupid, we'll be doomed.

Seeing Ling Xiao sleeping soundly, she got up quietly, put on her coat, and went out without even bothering to comb her hair.

After closing the door, Ling Xiao opened his eyes with a hint of smile in his eyes.

After tying her hair, Meng Qidi cooked the porridge and went to the yard to busy herself. Ling Xiao had soaked the Polygonum multiflorum all night last night, and she didn't know what to do with it, so she didn't take it out.

Although she knew how to wash kudzu powder, she needed tools to make it. Picking up a hatchet, Meng Qidi went straight to the bamboo forest in the backyard, cut down two large bamboos, and dragged them back.

When Ling Xiao came out, Meng Qidi was squatting by the well and digging. The wooden basin in front of her was already half full of white juice.

He came over after washing up and asked, "I'll come?"

Meng Qidi didn't even raise her head. "You should deal with the Polygonum multiflorum first. What should we do with that?"

Ling Xiao rolled his wheelchair over, bent down and pinched the Polygonum multiflorum soaked in water, "It's almost done, you can take it out. Cover it with a piece of cloth later, turn it over a few times a day, and wait until it is completely moistened, then cut it into two centimeter slices."

"that's all?"

Ling Xiao frowned slightly, "I've seen an old hunter make this before. Black beans are needed for the preparation. Jin Ming and I will go to the town to process the pheasants and get some black beans back."

Meng Qidi looked up and said, "We still have some pig intestines and bone soup at home. How about selling the rabbit as well?"

Ling Xiao fished out the Polygonum multiflorum and threw it into a dustpan to dry. He asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to keep it for eating?"

"No, we are too weak to be nourished by the food we eat."

The head of the family had spoken, and Ling Xiao did not insist, "Do you need me to bring you anything?"

"Large gauze, white cloth or mosquito net will also work. I'll use it to drain this." Meng Qidi pointed to the things in front of her.

She actually intended to dismantle the mosquito net...

"There's an old one in mom's room. I'll get it for you."

"Is this... okay?" Meng Qidi hesitated.

"It's nothing bad. I just happened to buy two today."

Ling Xiao took out the mosquito net and carefully helped to dismantle it. He asked Meng Qidi how to do it and helped her make a filter.

Meng Qidi gave him a thumbs up. His dexterity was different. Everything in his hands seemed to come alive.

"Do you have enough money to buy a mosquito net?" Meng Qidi suddenly asked. All his money was with her.

Ling Xiao paused and looked up, "How about...housekeeper, can you give me some more?"

Meng Qidi rolled her eyes at him and went into the house to get the money.
