"Xu Miaomiao, what's that tone!"
Xu Miaomiao's words made Wang Buren even more dissatisfied. He wanted to stand up and fight with him, but unfortunately there was no one around to support him. They were all busy picking up the Cordyceps on the ground. Wang Buren could only rely on his own strength. However, he had a lame leg after all, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stand up completely. He was still a head shorter than Xu Miaomiao. Seeing that Xu Miaomiao was about to leave, Wang Buren could only shout behind her angrily and said, "Xu Miaomiao, I tell you, no matter what others do, I and our Wang family will never yield to you, and we will never beg you."
After saying this, Wang Bu Ren fell silent.
Xu Miaomiao didn't care what he was saying, but she couldn't help but think of her father, Village Chief Wang. He is old now, but still has to take care of so many things. Perhaps because of his previous affairs, the people in the village had already lost confidence in Village Chief Wang. She didn't know if he could spend this winter well. But after thinking about it, she had given Village Chief Wang extra subsidies before, so it must be enough. Miaomiao felt comforted and went down the mountain carrying her backpack.
As soon as I got home, I saw Gu Yuanniang and Xu Qingshan swinging on the swing. What a happy scene.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao walked forward, looked at the two of them and said, "The sun is about to come out, why are you still here? Go back to the house and rest."
"It's okay, it's okay." Gu Yuanniang waved her hand, looked at Xu Miaomiao's anxious face, smiled at him, and said, "Although the sun is scorching, it hasn't come out yet. It's good to get some sun. Qingshan has been asking me to stay in the house and drink those medicines. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll get sick, so I asked Qingshan to accompany me outside. Qingshan couldn't persuade me, so he had to come with me."
Hearing what Gu Yuanniang said, Xu Miaomiao didn't know what to say. She glanced at him, shook her head, and didn't explain. Liu Niang became even more petty. Looking at Xu Miaomiao's appearance, Gu Yuanniang asked, "Why, did you get anything unexpected when you went to the back mountain today?"
Before Xu Miaomiao could say anything, the servant beside her immediately announced that someone was looking for her. When the person was brought in front of her, Gu Yuanniang recognized that he was a villager from Wangjia Village. Seeing that it was him, Xu Qingshan immediately stood in front of Gu Yuanniang subconsciously, fearing that the person in front of her would hurt her.
The man simply handed the Cordyceps in his hand to Xu Miaomiao, exchanged it for silver from Xu Miaomiao, and left.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yuanniang was still a little puzzled. Xu Miaomiao looked at the Cordyceps in her hand, and then she said to Gu Yuanniang: "I reached a deal with them. They insisted on going up the mountain to hunt tigers. I really couldn't bear it, so I asked them to pick Cordyceps and come to me to exchange for money."
Madam Gu Yuan frowned slightly when she heard this. Xu Qingshan, who was standing by, took a step forward, picked up the Cordyceps, put it in his hand, examined it carefully, looked at Xu Miaomiao with some confusion, and said, "What use can this insect-like thing have?"
Xu Miaomiao didn't take it seriously. She picked up a cigarette and looked at the two people in front of her mysteriously: "Don't be fooled by its strange appearance. It is actually very useful."
Seeing Xu Miaomiao's mysterious reason, Madam Gu Yuan was still a little puzzled: "I have seen this Cordyceps before when I went up the mountain. Especially here in Bai County, there are a lot of them growing. But Miaomiao, this thing is useless. What are you going to do with it? Don't play tricks on us, just tell us directly."
Seeing that Gu Yuan's mother was a little anxious, Xu Miaomiao looked at him and said, "This cordyceps is a good thing for strengthening the body! In winter, it is a kind of insect, and in summer, it becomes this kind of herb. It can not only nourish the kidney and lungs, but also stop bleeding and resolve phlegm. It has a very good effect when used to boil water, soak wine, and make soup. Besides, Liu Niang, you just happened to be in poor health because of the child's matter. I will use these cordyceps to make soup for you, which will make your body very healthy."
"Besides, adding this Cordyceps to those medicines can also make people healthier."
Hearing Xu Miaomiao praising this herb in a mysterious way, Gu Yuanniang was a little shocked: "If this Cordyceps is so precious and has such powerful medicinal effects, why did they give all of it to you?"
"I know Cordyceps, but they may not know it." Xu Miaomiao said.
Gu Yuan's mother smiled when she heard this, and the two looked at each other without saying anything. Just as the three of them were chatting, Liu Juan slowly walked towards them with a cup of tea in her hand. Seeing this, Gu Yuan's mother silently got down from the swing and sat on a stool beside her. Xu Qingshan had been guarding Gu Yuan's mother and behind her, fearing that Gu Yuan's mother would be hurt. However, Liu Juan didn't take it seriously. She slowly walked towards the few people, and when she came in front of them, she put down the teacup in her hand and toasted Xu Miaomiao.
He also toasted Gu Yuanniang, then looked at the two of them and said, "Madam Xu, Madam Gu, it's hot, I made a cup of herbal tea, you can enjoy it together!"
Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything, Liu Juan took another bottle of teacup from her hand and handed it to Xu Qingshan, with a shy look on her face. I don't know what Xu Qingshan would call her. After a long silence, she slowly said, "Husband, have a drink."
When Xu Qingshan heard this, he was startled and subconsciously frowned. He dodged in the direction of Gu Yuanniang, keeping a considerable distance from Liu Juan, and said to him, "You and I are getting married, and I have not taken a concubine. You don't have to call me your husband, and I will not recognize you as your husband."
"Husband." Liu Juan looked even more aggrieved when she heard this. She looked at Xu Qingshan in front of her pitifully, holding the teacup in her hand and touching her slightly bulging belly, and said, "I know you don't want to acknowledge me, but the child in my belly is also yours. For his sake, don't care about my previous mistakes and give me a chance to live."
If it were someone else, they would naturally feel distressed after hearing what Liu Juan said. However, after so many things happened before, Xu Qingshan naturally knew what kind of person Liu Juan was. He was unwilling to say a few more words to her. He waved his hand, looked at the herbal tea in front of Gu Yuanniang, picked it up, and did not take the one from Liu Juan. He said calmly, "I don't mean to exclude you. It's rare that you have such a thoughtful attitude. Liu Niang just can't drink herbal tea. I'll drink this cup for him. As for the cup in Liu Niang's hand, you should enjoy it yourself."
