Chapter 3 Another hen was obtained

The Sun family had already lost five dollars because of the incident between Sun Taohua and Shen Ruoqing. Although Sun Taohua denied that Shen Ruoqing's head injury had nothing to do with her, Old Lady Ji was like a dog-skin plaster that could not be shaken off, so she had no choice but to give five dollars.

Because of these five dollars, Sun Taohua was scolded and beaten, and even went hungry for two meals.

Unexpectedly, Old Lady Ji came to visit again!

"Ji Hongying, don't go too far. Hasn't our family already paid five dollars in compensation? That's five dollars!" Old Mrs. Sun said with a gloomy face.

"Do you think that just paying that five dollars will do? Your Taohua is trying to kill my sweet baby! That's a life for a life! Your family are all relatives of a murderer!"

"Who said it was my Taohua who pushed it? No one saw it at the time. I felt sorry for your family and thought that Shen Ruoqing was going to die, so I gave you five dollars. Now that girl is alive and well, you should return the five dollars to my family!"

"Ah! Returning it to you, old man, is impossible! My dear baby told me personally that this is what your Taohua pushed. Are you going to deny it? I don't care if you at least have to pay me another fifty dollars today!"

Fifty dollars!

Wow! This season the old lady is really brave!

"Fifty yuan! Why don't you just rob it!" Old Mrs. Sun screamed. Giving away five yuan was already costing her life, let alone 50 yuan!

"I don't have any money! Ji Hongying, please don't go too far, Sun Taohua! It's her, she's the one who caused this, if you want to find someone, find her!"

Old Mrs. Sun pushed Sun Taohua out.

"If it doesn't work, just take this girl away!"

"What's the use of this girl? We live in a society ruled by law now. Do you still want me to buy and sell people? Pay me money!"

…

Afterwards, Old Mrs. Ji returned home proudly carrying a skinny hen.

There was no other way. The Sun family really couldn't squeeze out any more money, so Old Mrs. Ji could only take their family's only property - this skinny hen.

And Xu Taohua will be ordered not to eat because of the two slap marks on the hen's face.

"Old man, stew this chicken."

"Okay, Mom."

At this time of year, there is really no food at home to feed the chickens, otherwise Grandma Ji would never have been willing to slaughter the chicken and make soup.

But it's better to stew it to nourish her baby! In order to make the head heal faster, Shen Ruoqing exchanged some gold medicine from the system mall and spent one dollar.

After drinking the chicken soup again, Shen Ruoqing felt that he had gotten much better.

"Mom, I want to go out for a walk."

"You're not well yet, what are you doing outside?"

Old Mrs. Ji disagreed.

"Mom, I've been lying down for too long and my head is dizzy. Walking around and breathing some fresh air will help the wound heal. This is what our teacher told us." Shen Ruoqing began to make up stories.

Shen Ruoqing is still in school. She is only fourteen this year and is in the second grade of junior high school. She is considered the most educated person in the family. There is no other way. The family is poor. Other children go out to work after primary school. Only Shen Ruoqing can continue to study in junior high school. Mrs. Ji's idea is to send her baby to a technical secondary school so that she can be assigned a job.

"Did your teacher really say that?" Old Lady Ji was a little skeptical. She had never heard of such a thing, but because of trust, she still gave in: "Then let San Ya go with you. Don't go too far."

"Okay, Mom, I really love you so much!" Shen Ruoqing was very happy.

San Ya happened to be going to collect grass for the pigs, so Shen Ruoqing followed her.

Along the way, Shen Ruoqing met many villagers who greeted him. After all, Shen Ruoqing had bled to death before, but he miraculously survived. This made many people very curious.

But curiosity aside, the most important thing these days is how to fill one's stomach, and people don't have much time to care about other people's gossip, so everyone just said a few words of greeting without any other expression.

"Aunt, I usually collect grass for pigs here. You stay here and don't walk around. When I finish collecting grass for pigs, we will go back." San Ya carried a basket that was bigger than her and told Shen Ruoqing with a worried look on her face. Along the way, Shen Ruoqing asked many times to help carry her basket, but was rejected by Shen Xue. Are you kidding? If her grandmother knew that she dared to let her aunt help carry the basket, would she still have the skin? "I'm not a child. I'll look for wild vegetables around here." Shen Ruoqing waved her hand, indicating that Shen Xue should take care of herself and not worry about her.

"The wild vegetables here have long been dug up. Where can we find them?" Shen Xue muttered softly.

Indeed, we are now in a time of famine, and all edible wild vegetables have been dug up almost completely. Common and popular wild vegetable varieties such as shepherd's purse, wheat seedlings, and bracken are simply nowhere to be found.

But Shen Ruoqing is not afraid. Her system also has a scanning and detection function that can detect an area of ​​100 meters in radius. And as far as she knows, there are countless varieties of edible wild vegetables. She doesn't believe that every kind of wild vegetable has been picked up.

"Ding - found wild mugwort."

Shen Ruoqing's eyes lit up. Look, here it comes!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Mugwort is actually the most common wild vegetable in rural areas, but few people eat it. Only people in a few areas have the custom of eating mugwort. This is mainly because the bitter taste of mugwort is very strong and it is difficult to cover up no matter how it is cooked.

Shen Ruoqing quickly ran to the wormwood. Wow, there was a large patch of it, probably because no one was picking it. Shen Ruoqing didn't say anything nonsense and started digging wild vegetables. It took a while to dig up all the wormwood.

"Ding - I found wild mugwort, 80 cents a pound, would you like to sell it?"

Shen Ruoqing was very happy. 80 cents a pound! This price is almost as high as rice! Sell it, of course!

Shen Ruoqing dug a total of 18 kilograms of mugwort, and immediately earned 14.40 yuan! Adding the remaining money from before, she now has a total of 18.30 yuan! "Aunt, what are you grinning at here?"

Shen Xue had also finished collecting grass for the pigs, and asked Shen Ruoqing who was grinning foolishly.

"Ahem, it's nothing. Let's continue digging wild vegetables tomorrow."

"Come again tomorrow?" Shen Xue muttered, "You haven't found any wild vegetables yet, why don't you give up? This area has been searched thoroughly by others. If you want to find wild vegetables, you can only look for them in farther places."

"Farther away? Where is that?"

The whisper was also heard by Shen Ruoqing.

"Ah? Cun, that's over there on the mountain. We can't go there. If you go there, grandma will beat me to death." The little girl shook her head like a rattle, and was determined not to take Shen Ruoqing to any farther place.

"Okay then." Shen Ruoqing sighed with some regret, "Let's go back. How about I help you carry it?"

"No, I can carry you. How come you've become so much better lately, aunt?"

"I just feel sorry for you! You are my niece!" Shen Ruoqing didn't expect that her repeated attempts to help would arouse the little girl's suspicion. Shen Ruoqing had to control her kindness and strode forward.
