Chapter 19
Soon, the fourth son's wife, Chen Fang, also started shouting, "Help! Second sister-in-law, wake up!"
From below, Liu Xiao'e's weak voice soon came: "I...I, help me down quickly!"
"Sister-in-law, wait a minute. I'll find some grass to scrape off the mud on our bodies. Otherwise, we won't be able to walk down the mountain covered in mud." Zhou Jiaojiao said, and ran to the place where there was the most grass near them.
It was a mound of earth.
As soon as she passed by, she shouted in surprise: "It's Astragalus! Come and see!"
Zhou Jiaojiao's voice was filled with excitement. As expected, even after she got married, good luck still followed her.
My second sister-in-law was able to find Astragalus for just such a small mistake!
"What's wrong? Stop acting like a jerk! Come here quickly and help me!" Liu Xiao'e grimaced in pain. Seeing that Zhou Jiaojiao didn't come to take care of her, she was still dancing around.
It seems that Zhou Jiaojiao was quite happy after she fell like this!
Why is Lao Wu's wife so bad?
The more Liu Xiao'e thought about it, the angrier she became.
Over there, Zhou Jiaojiao excitedly pulled out a piece of Astragalus root and said, "Second sister-in-law, Fourth sister-in-law, both of you have a look!"
They live off the land here, and although medicinal herbs like astragalus may not be everywhere, you can at least see them occasionally.
Everyone knows it.
When Liu Xiao'e saw this, she was immediately delighted: "This is good stuff! Hurry up and dig it all up."
At this moment she forgot the pain.
On the mountain, Zhao Cuihua was staring with amazement: "Hey, they are too lucky, aren't they? There are so many people coming and going in this mountain, how come this astragalus is growing there without being discovered?"
Bai Xiu Xiu looked at the three people busying themselves below and smiled.
It’s still so weird!
"Sister-in-law, are we just going to watch like this?" Zhao Cuihua was unwilling.
Of course you have to watch it!
This pile of stuff belongs to Zhou Jiaojiao. As long as Zhou Jiaojiao has discovered and got hold of these things, anyone who wants to have a piece of it will be in trouble.
She doesn't care about the astragalus, she just wants the seeds.
No matter who takes this thing home, she can get the seeds.
Moreover, based on her understanding of Zhou Jiaojiao, it is absolutely impossible for her fifth brother's sister-in-law to come down the mountain like this!
She had finally managed to get so many people up the mountain, and if she didn't make good use of them, she wouldn't be Zhou Jiaojiao.
As long as they follow Zhou Jiaojiao and the others down the mountain, wouldn't they be able to get any medicinal herb seeds?
Now follow Zhou Jiaojiao and the others. It’s best to walk ahead of them and get the things that belong to Zhou Jiaojiao before she finds out. That’s all!
Sure enough, it was the same as Bai Xiu Xiu thought.
After Zhou Jiaojiao and the other two dug the astragalus, Liu Xiaoe, who had been enduring the pain, frowned and suggested, "We have obtained so many good things, let's go back first. You support me, I am so dizzy that I can't even take two steps."
As Liu Xiao'e spoke, she touched the back of her head and found blood.
When she saw the blood, her legs went limp: "Let's go home! Let's go home quickly!"
Zhou Jiaojiao frowned when she heard this. It had just begun, how could she just go home like this?
Isn't it just a little bleeding? He was alive and kicking just now, and he's not going to die.
"Second sister-in-law, we just got to the mountain and you're already clamoring to go back. If mom sees us, she'll definitely scold us, right? If you really can't leave, just wait here.
We'll pick you up later.
Those who have gone up the mountain recently are all children. It was only today that the team leader agreed that each family could keep some of their children at home instead of working, so everyone came to the mountain.
We just came here and we can already come across something like Astragalus. Who knows if we go further in, there will be other treasures!
I don’t want to go back like this.”
The Astragalus membranaceus discovered by Zhou Jiaojiao is now very strong.
Having said that, he walked inside.
"You! How can you be so cruel? The fifth brother's wife? Wait for me! At least help me sit down over there... Ouch!" Before Liu Xiao'e could finish her shout, she suddenly lost her balance and fell hard.
Directly face the ground!
As soon as I raised my head and opened my mouth, before I could cry, my two front teeth fell out.
Although the two people on the top of the mountain couldn't see clearly, they soon heard Liu Xiao'e crying: "My teeth! My teeth!"
Zhou Jiaojiao was extremely excited when she saw this scene!
It seems that my second sister-in-law can be even more unlucky! I can't let my second sister-in-law stay here like this.
But in order to avoid being noticed, she still looked worried: "Second sister-in-law, it's not okay for you to stay here alone. How about this, Fourth sister-in-law and I will drag you away."
"Ah?" The fourth daughter-in-law Chen Fang was stunned.
Does this sound like human language?
She's in such a state now, and you still want to let her go?
Liu Xiao'e wanted to tear Zhou Jiaojiao apart, but when she thought about the good things that her family would miss out on, and her mother-in-law's expression after she returned, she endured it.
Moreover, all the good things we found can be shared among the family!
This is also good for them.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiao'e compromised.
On the mountain, Bai Xiu Xiu, who had already seen what bad luck was, stood up and walked forward.
"Sister-in-law? Where are we going?" Zhao Cuihua followed her quickly.
Bai Xiuxiu smiled when she heard this: "There are good things in this mountain, and they are not the only ones who can find them. We can find them too. Besides, there are only two of us. I know what you are thinking, and I have similar thoughts.
Although our mother-in-law is related to you, she still favors the second and fifth sons' families more.
If we don’t take it ourselves, who will care about us?”
Zhao Cuihua's eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law, you are right, let's hurry up."
The two of them were walking in front. Zhou Jiaojiao and the others were not walking fast because they had to drag an injured Liu Xiao'e.
This made it much easier for Bai Xiuxiu and Zhao Cuihua to walk in front.
According to the law that Zhou Jiaojiao will get something good when others get hurt, Bai Xiuxiu is sure that there will be something good ahead.
Even if they look slowly, they will definitely find it.
She actually guessed it right!
After searching for nearly half an hour, the two finally found a large piece of Astragalus in a bush. In addition to Astragalus, they also found a patch of wolfberry vines full of wolfberries on the edge of a mountain ravine.
Seeing this, Zhao Cuihua almost screamed.
Bai Xiuxiu was quick to cover her mouth: "They are walking slowly behind us, but we are not deaf. Take it off before they come."
Zhao Cuihua stopped shouting now. This was all money! All the money she sold was her own pocket money.
Now everyone picks their own, it all depends on their own ability.
Bai Xiuxiu was not slow in picking these things. The two of them quickly picked all the wolfberries and pulled out all the astragalus.
After doing all this, I found a hill to stay on.
There are trees on the top of the hill to block the view, so we can see where Zhou Jiaojiao and the others are without being discovered.
"Sister-in-law, these things..." Zhao Cuihua was a little confused and didn't know how much to leave for her family.
