Huo Xiao immediately stated, "I don't want this ginseng."
It was Weiwei who originally discovered the ginseng, and there was no need for so many people to dig for ginseng on the mountain today. He was already very happy that she trusted him and let him participate.
Moreover, Weiwei definitely wants to give these to her uncle. With her uncle in his hands, the ginseng can surely save more people and play a greater role.
Second cousin Zhang Haoran was a step behind, glaring at Huo Xiao, "No need to divide it. This ginseng was discovered by you, little sister, so it's naturally yours."
The older cousin, Zhang Juncheng, agreed with his younger brother's statement, saying, "We went up the mountain to dig for ginseng just for fun."
Before Ye Weiwei could speak, Zhang Changnian immediately made a decision: "Then it's settled. These all belong to Weiwei."
Ye Weiwei: ……
She realized that her uncle's claim of distributing ginseng to everyone was just empty talk.
Her uncles and cousins doted on her genuinely, and she reciprocated in kind.
In the end, Ye Weiwei and her uncle discussed it, and her uncle only took three trees that were over a hundred years old: one that was 120 years old, one that was 150 years old, and one that was 180 years old.
The three trees are less than a hundred years old, namely fifty, eighty, and ninety years old. The rest are all left with Ye Weiwei.
First, he has already taken out one of the two-hundred-year-old ginseng roots, and he cannot take out any more in the short term, lest it be too conspicuous and attract trouble.
Secondly, Ye Weiwei can better preserve the medicinal properties of ginseng and can also use ginseng to make medicine. Making these ginseng into pills is more convenient and can better bring out the medicinal properties of ginseng.
Ye Weiwei naturally followed her uncle's arrangements. "I'll use the two oldest trees to make life-saving pills, and save the two 200-year-old trees for emergencies. As for the rest, I'll make pills. I'll keep a portion for you guys to divide among yourselves."
Seeing that her two cousins were still trying to refuse, Ye Weiwei said sternly, "The pills I made are all good for your health. If you don't even want this, then you don't consider me family. Don't call me little sister anymore!"
"Little sister, don't be angry, okay? We'll do whatever you say." Zhang Haoran panicked when he heard that Ye Weiwei didn't recognize him anymore, and smiled ingratiatingly at Ye Weiwei.
Zhang Juncheng chuckled and patted Ye Weiwei's head. "Your temper hasn't changed at all. These are all good things, but you just don't value them. I won't take them for nothing. Tell me what you want, and I'll get it for you."
Ye Weiwei was speechless. "Then how about we count all the good things you've given me since I was a child, and prepare a gift for you next time?"
Zhang Juncheng: ...
Seeing his eldest son, who had been like a fox since childhood, get his comeuppance, Zhang Changnian felt a sense of satisfaction and laughed, "Alright! Don't use that scheming face of yours on Weiwei! Remember Weiwei's kindness, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to prove yourself in the future!"
Zhang Juncheng felt ashamed. There were outsiders present, yet his father spoke to him like that, without even giving him any face.
Huo Xiao's lips curled up involuntarily, pretending not to see Zhang Juncheng's warning look.
With the ginseng problem solved, everyone went to the yard to slaughter a pig and prepare the game they had hunted.
After bleeding, skinning, gutting, and removing the bones, the wild boar still had an estimated 200 jin (100 kg) of meat left. Zhang Changnian gave most of it to Huo Xiao, telling him to take it home for his wedding banquet.
Huo Xiao accepted it without hesitation.
As for pheasants and rabbits, Huo Xiao refused to take them and left them to his uncle's family.
The trip up the mountain was very fruitful; the family spent most of the day preparing the meat.
The pork and ribs for the next few days were left behind, and the rest were cured into bacon by the two cousins and hung under the eaves of the side room.
Seeing the long strips of meat hanging there, both cousins felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"Little sister, there are so many treasures on this Daqing Mountain, I want to stay here and never go back."
Zhang Haoran looked at the meat and swallowed hard.
Ye Weiwei chuckled, "Then you can stay here and not go back. I promise you'll be able to eat meat every day from now on."
Zhang Haoran: ...
He hesitated for a long time before finally making a difficult decision: "Let's just forget about it."
He has a regular job, so he'll have to go back to work.
After processing the wild boar meat, the two cousins killed the pheasant and rabbit and had their aunt marinate and hang them to air dry.
For dinner, we had my aunt's specialty, sweet and sour pork ribs. Ye Weiwei devoured a whole bowl by herself, and her two cousins and uncle were just as good.
Luckily, my aunt knew how much these family members ate, so she made a huge bowl of food, and in the end, not even a drop of soup was left.
Seeing that everyone was eating to their heart's content, Ye Weiwei was still rubbing her round little belly, looking like she didn't want to move, which made her aunt beam with joy.
"My aunt will braise the pig's trotters and pig's head in a bit, and we can eat them tomorrow." My aunt dangled her slightly sore arms. "It's a pity that it's not cold enough now, otherwise we could make aspic out of the pig skin and eat it for a long time."
Ye Weiwei stood behind her aunt and massaged her, taking the opportunity to use her wood-type supernatural power to help her regulate her body and quietly repair some minor ailments.
Auntie felt incredibly comfortable wherever Ye Weiwei's little hands massaged, and couldn't help but close her eyes and sigh, "Daughters are so much better. Look how thoughtful my Weiwei is. No wonder everyone says daughters are like warm little cotton-padded jackets. These two sons are such a waste of their time; all they know how to do is eat."
Big Brother: ...
Second cousin: ...
When praising a younger woman, can you please stop bringing them up and making personal attacks?
Seeing his wife looking so comfortable, Zhang Changnian couldn't help but feel envious. He rubbed his shoulder and pretended to be uncomfortable. "Weiwei, can you check my shoulder injury later to see if it's flared up again? I can't seem to get any strength out of it."
"Okay!" Ye Weiwei agreed readily, which made Zhang Changnian extremely proud. He glanced at his two sons with a smug look: What's the use of raising you? All you know how to do is eat!
The eldest and second cousins pretended not to see their father's clumsy acting. They didn't know who it was that kept saying the pills their little sister gave them were so powerful, that after taking them all their old injuries were healed and that their old shoulder problems hadn't recurred.
hehe!
Big Brother: "Little Sister, I strained my back while carrying a wild boar down the mountain today. Could you take a look at it for me later?"
Second cousin: "Little sister, I dislocated my arm while catching wild rabbits today. Can you help me massage it?"
Zhang Changnian: "Get out of here, all of you! You can't even come up with a decent excuse when you're making up lies. Are you trying to work your little sister to death?!"
The eldest and second cousins looked at their father with resentment. Everyone was making up lies, so why were they looking down on him?
Zhang Changnian snorted coldly, his eyes looking down at you: Just because I'm your father!
