Little Bell touched the pheasant's head and said, "Mom, kill this pheasant and use the ginseng to make soup for Grandpa and Great-grandfather. I only want to eat the meat, so please leave me a drumstick."
Everyone: ...So these days pheasants are so eager to be caught?
Zhao knew her granddaughter's strange nature and quickly diverted their attention. "This ginseng is hard to come by, and your grandfather and the others aren't too seriously injured. Let's not stew it. It would be a waste of money. Let's save it and sell it later to buy Xiao Lingdang something delicious, okay?"
Little Lingling had recovered by now. She couldn't help drooling at the mention of chicken legs. She simply pushed aside the wild vegetables on top of her third brother's basket, revealing the ginseng underneath.
"Don't worry, grandma. Just keep stewing. Little Bell dug up a lot, enough to buy lots of delicious food. This is for Grandpa to nourish his body."
Everyone: ...Since when did wild ginseng become so worthless?
Until this moment, Sun's eyes changed when she looked at Xiao Lingling.
Golden baby, golden baby, this is definitely a golden baby. Wow, no wonder he can recognize the old immortal as his master, he will definitely be extraordinary in the future.
Even Mrs. Li and Mrs. Fang felt the extraordinary qualities of their children so intuitively for the first time.
As for the brothers standing by, they had long lost their presence, their eyes only focused on their lucky sister.
When Xiao Lingling saw that everyone was looking at her, she felt something strange in her heart.
Their eyes were so bright, as if they had seen some treasure. She was a little scared and shrank into Zhao's arms, trying to reduce her presence.
Seeing that her granddaughter was frightened, Zhao quickly raised her hand to block her and sighed helplessly.
"Okay, just listen to Xiao Lingdang, the old man. Go kill this pheasant and stew it with ginseng. You don't need too much, just two whiskers. You can keep this for future use at home."
As he said that, he picked up Xiao Lingling and walked back. Before leaving, he did not forget to take the basket from Lin Ran's hand and went straight back to the tent.
Lin Ran watched as his grandmother took the basket of silver away, and he felt a little reluctant to let it go. His eyes were red with heartache.
He didn't even have time to hide his beard, or even to enjoy it, before he disappeared.
Sun looked up at Fang and said, "Niece-in-law, is Xiao Lingling's luck so overbearing?"
Fang herself had never thought about this, but her family had indeed been lucky in the past.
Even though it was a severe drought and all the wells in the village had dried up, there was still water in their well.
It wasn't until my mother-in-law said that the water in their house was unsafe that it disappeared the next day.
Moreover, even the vegetables grown in their yard were the last to die of drought in the whole village. Maybe this is all related to the little girl?
Seeing that Fang didn't answer, Sun didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, Xiao Lingling's position in her heart was now firmly established.
Zhao returned to the tent with Xiao Lingling. Only then did she dare to take out all the ginseng. However, she was shocked by the number she found.
"Xiao Lingling, why are there so many ginsengs? Did you mess with them?"
Little Bell glared at the ginseng with disdain, "No, Jin Bei took me there. Grandma, please put it away and sell it for money later!"
Zhao sighed, "Grandma doesn't have a safe place to keep them. Just put them all in your treasure. I'll tell you when you need them, okay?"
Little Bell didn't say anything and put it away obediently. Zhao consoled her a few more times and emphasized that she shouldn't wander around the mountains anymore before she prepared to go out to work.
Before she could even leave, Little Bell hugged her legs and said, "Grandma, are radishes really not as delicious as apples?"
Zhao burst out laughing, "You're still thinking about this! Grandma, let me tell you, radishes aren't really that delicious. We used to be poor, so in the winter we could only afford radishes and cabbages.
If you say it tastes better, you'll only get hungrier. But it's really not as delicious as your apples, pears, and the like. Grandma will definitely not lie to you, and Little Bell also believes in Grandma, right? "
Little Bell finally let go of her hand in disappointment. "I thought it was really delicious. Since it's not delicious, forget it. I'd rather eat meat."
Zhao pinched her chubby little face and said, "Yes, eat meat. Meat is delicious and nutritious. Grandma will stew it for you later!"
Xiao Lingling nodded and let Zhao go.
But she seemed to have no strength left, and she lay on the quilt. When no one came in, she took an apple from the space and ate it, biting it very hard with every bite.
She was enjoying her meal, but Lin Ran was in a miserable state as he was surrounded by several brothers.
"Third brother, you are too unreliable. Why did you take my little sister away for so long? What if she is in danger?"
"Yes, cousin, you and your cousin are both children. What if you fall and get hurt?"
"That's right, Third Brother. Don't you understand what Fourth Brother and Ping'er both know? You've grown up in vain. If I had known, I shouldn't have let you leave with Little Bell alone!"
The three brothers were really angry. The little sister was so cute, and they couldn't help but get angry at the thought that she might be in danger.
Lin Ran also felt inexplicably guilty. He was addicted to digging ginseng at that time. When he came to his senses, it was already too late. He didn't do it on purpose.
Lin Wen, on the other hand, said calmly, "You've been blinded by money. If it happens again, you won't be able to hide your private money anymore."
Although Lin Wen was not angry, just one sentence made Lin Wen feel a chill on his back.
"Hahaha, don't worry, big brother. I will never do it again! For sure! Really! Believe me!"
Lin Wen glanced at him indifferently without saying anything more, then turned around to accompany Xiao Lingling. Lin Ran then breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat that had appeared on his forehead.
Are you kidding? It took him so long to save up that little bit of private money. It absolutely cannot be emptied out. It is his lifeblood.
However, Lin Wen didn't say this behind his back, so...
"Old Third, when did you have some private money? Where is it? How much is it?"
"That's right, Third Brother, how could you hide your secret money from us? Last time you said you would pay me after eating my candied haws, and you haven't even given me the money yet!"
This time, Lin Ping didn't get involved, but he was also curious. "Cousin, my mother said that it's easy for children to lose their saved money. Why don't you ask your aunt to keep it for you?"
Lin Ran was really in tears now, and could only bleed heavily helplessly and gave two cents to each person.
He almost saw his heart bleeding, ticking, ticking, it hurt so much!
