Zeng Wenjuan took out a small shovel and began to shovel the dirt on the ground. She tossed out a field of dirt after a field of dirt. But she still couldn't find the glittering treasure.
"Oh, I don't know what good stuff it is this time. I hope I won't miss it again because of my ignorance. That would be such a pity that I can't use the golden finger even though I have it." Zeng Wenjuan sighed with some regret.
Just when Zeng Wenjuan wanted to leave and go to another place, she was suddenly tripped by a stone under her feet. Fortunately, she held on to it, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.
Seeing the loose stone, Zeng Wenjuan thought about carrying the stone to another place to prevent it from rolling down the slope. It would be bad if it hit someone. Just as she reached out to pick up the stone, the flashing light stopped.
Zeng Wenjuan's eyes widened at the time, and she said in astonishment: "This... this can't be the treasure! A broken stone, that shouldn't be right. With such a large aperture, it can't be a broken stone. It must be something inside the stone."
Thinking of this, Zeng Wenjuan put the stone into the backpack. Looking at the golden finger again, there was only a small halo on it. It was probably some impractical little things or herbs.
Following the halo, Zeng Wenjuan found a forsythia plant. She shouted to Goudan and the other two who were not far away, "Stop picking up stones. Come here. I'll teach you how to identify herbs."
Goudan, Ergou and Shitou heard what Zeng Wenxuan said, picked up the precious stones they had picked up and put them in the backpack. Goudan saw the big stone Zeng Wenxuan picked up, and he smiled at Zeng Wenjuan and said, "Mom, why did you pick up a stone too? But the stone you picked up is not as beautiful as the one I picked up."
"Look at that stone, it's smooth and round, very suitable for pressing sauerkraut when we get home. I can make sauerkraut for you then." Zeng Wenjuan said perfunctorily, but she didn't expect Goudan to take it to heart.
The three children quickly came to Zeng Wenjuan. Zeng Wenjuan carefully said to the three children: "Goudan, can you recognize what kind of herb this is?"
"Mom, I know what this is. It's Forsythia suspensa, right? It's exactly the same as what I saw in the book." Goudan said to Zeng Wenjuan with a look of seeking praise.
Zeng Wenjuan nodded with satisfaction. Her child was really smart and had a photographic memory. She smiled and said to the other two children, "This is Forsythia suspensa. You can also use it to exchange for money."
"The medicinal part of Forsythia suspensa is its fruit, which is what you see. The fruit is wrapped in two pieces of something that looks like a human heart." Zeng Wenjuan used her limited vocabulary to express to her three children.
Ergou only remembered that Lianqiao could be exchanged for money. He immediately remembered Lianqiao's appearance. He asked again: "How much can you exchange this for?"
"One dollar and thirty cents per kilogram, which is two kilograms, and I can make one dollar and thirty cents." Zeng Wenjuan knew all the documents after reading the contract and remembered them in her mind.
"With so much, how much lard candy do I need to buy?" Ergou said happily. Shitou was also standing by, very happy. He said to Zeng Wenjuan, "Aunt, can you give me one fruit and I'll go find the others? I want to make more money so my mother doesn't have to work so hard."
Zeng Wenjuan touched Shitou's head distressedly and said, "Good children, take one each and don't go too far. Otherwise I won't be able to find you."
Each of the three children took a forsythia fruit and ran off to look for other forsythias. At noon, everyone gathered together. After eating some dry food, they started looking for herbs again. Zeng Wenjuan would also take the three children to teach them about herbs.
…
…
At around four o'clock, everyone returned to the mountain with a full load. Zeng Wenjuan brought Goudan back home and heard a commotion in the house.
After hearing Ms. Deng's voice, Zeng Wenjuan knew that she was here to vent her anger for her eldest grandson. He frowned at the corner of the wall. He walked into the yard with his bag in one hand and a sickle in the other.
"What are you guys doing? You're here to demolish the house. Have you asked the village chief? After all, this is the village chief's old house, we can't just not inform him." Zeng Wenjuan said sarcastically.
The other people in the village waved their hands quickly, and an old lady stepped forward and said, "Wenjuan, we are not here to demolish the house. We just saw your mother and Dabao coming here aggressively, so we came to see what was going on. She was trying to get into the house, but we all stopped her."
After hearing what the old lady said, Zeng Wenjuan also smiled and said to the old lady, "Thank you so much, old lady."
Then he walked to Ms. Deng and asked in a gentle voice, "Mom, why are you here? Is there something wrong? I was in the mountains all day, and I didn't know you were at home."
"Did you steal your eldest nephew's car today?" When Ms. Deng saw Zeng Wenjuan lying on the ground like this, her momentum immediately rose eight degrees.
Zeng Wenjuan looked confused. He looked at Deng Ying and said, "No, I'm such a grown-up, why would I still play with cars?"
"Grandma...it was my aunt who stole my car and pushed me. I was so dirty and it was my aunt who pushed me to the ground. She also said she was going to beat me to death." Dabao came and complained first.
Zeng Wenjuan looked at the child and was so angry that she laughed. It was true that like mother, like son. The crooked tree will produce the same crooked dates.
"Let's not talk about the fact that the car belongs to my dog. You stole my things, but I can't take them back. After all, it was you who was responsible? You are so shameless. You stole other people's things and you still had the nerve to cry and lie on the ground. Let's see if there are any children who want to play with you in the future?"
"What do you mean by yours and mine? It's your blessing that my eldest treasure likes your things, so why don't you take them out quickly. If my eldest grandson gets hurt from crying, do you think I will beat you to death?" Ms. Deng said arrogantly.
Chen Yitang had originally returned to the clinic. He had just put down his things and was about to come over to eat when he heard these words. He tried hard to squeeze into the crowd and stood in front of Zeng Wenjuan.
"What are you doing! What are you doing! Are you bullying my daughter? I bought this toy for my eldest grandson, how dare you come to my house and ask for it?"
Ms. Deng had also heard rumors in the village during this period, and knew that Zeng Wenjuan's biological father had come to her house. She had wanted to come and make trouble a long time ago. She had raised her daughter for so many years in vain, and she must ask the other party to pay back the money!
"You are Wenjuan's biological father, right? You have to pay back the living expenses for these years. We didn't raise our daughter for nothing. I don't ask for much. Judging from the way you are dressed, I only want three thousand yuan."
