Wang Xiaoming had no choice but to help her down the mountain. As luck would have it, Lu Jianguo came over with his men.
When he saw Wang Xiaoming supporting Li Xiuying, he immediately became jealous and pulled Li Xiuying from Wang Xiaoming's hands and went down the mountain.
Wang Xiaoming was confused. He thought he had done something wrong even though he was doing a good thing.
Li Xiuying was also pulled by him and staggered, almost falling to the ground again. She cried out "Ouch" in pain.
Lu Jianguo then relaxed his strength a little, but his tone was still a little angry: "What on earth have you been doing all day? You are still on the mountain in the middle of the night, and you are still with this Wang Xiaoming!"
Li Xiuying was angry and anxious, but she couldn't tell everyone that she was following Lin Yuexi. She could only endure the pain in her foot and said, "Don't make a fuss. Wang Xiaoming was helping me out of kindness. I accidentally sprained my foot."
Lu Jianguo snorted coldly, but said no more. He just quickened his pace down the mountain. The young men behind him looked at each other, and they all felt the awkwardness and subtlety of the atmosphere.
After returning home, Li Xiuying slumped in a chair, rubbing her red and swollen ankle, feeling frustrated.
Not only did he discover nothing that day, but he also made himself look miserable. He was hungry, tired, and injured. The most important thing was that he might be misunderstood by Lu Jianguo.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, but she had no place to vent.
On the other side, Lin Yuexi returned home, comforted the two kids, and went to the kitchen to light a fire and cook.
She first cooked rice in a pressure cooker in the space, and then stewed a pot of pork ribs and kelp soup.
Then he took out two small fish weighing half a pound each from the space river, left the space, and started to heat oil in a pan.
When the oil is 70% hot, gently put the small fish into the pot. When the fish is just put into the pot, the oil will splash everywhere and make a "sizzling" sound.
Lin Yuexi quickly used a spatula to press the fish body slightly so that it could be heated evenly. After frying one side until golden brown, she carefully turned it over and continued to fry the other side.
Fry both sides until golden and crispy, then place on a plate for later use.
Then, she left a little oil in the pan, added onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fried them, and the aroma spread instantly.
Then add appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over high heat, add in the fried fish, pour in a little light soy sauce and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor, then add a little white sugar to enhance the flavor, cover the pot and simmer on low heat.
During the stewing process, the soup gradually becomes thicker and the fish also absorbs the deliciousness of the soup. After about ten minutes, open the lid of the pot, turn the heat up to reduce the soup, let the soup wrap around the fish, and a delicious boiled fish is ready.
Lin Yuexi brought boiled fish, pork ribs and kelp soup, and rice to the table and asked the children to come and eat. Seeing the children eating happily, she forgot about the day's hard work.
After dinner, Lin Yuexi boiled some water, let the kids wash their faces and feet, and coaxed them to bed.
There was no electricity, no television, no mobile phones, and no entertainment in the 1970s. This was actually a good thing for children. Look, the kids fell asleep right away, and going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health!
After seeing the two little guys fall asleep, Lin Yuexi went to the space to harvest a batch of crops, and got dozens of kilograms of wild Gastrodia elata and two ginsengs. She planned to go to the mountain as usual the next day. If she could dig up Gastrodia elata, she would dig it. If she couldn't, she would take out the ones in the space and sell them.
Of course, you can also go to the black market and sell some of the stored grain, rice, oil, noodles, etc., so that you can get enough money to buy a courtyard house in the county.
But that night, there was a huge commotion in the old house.
Ever since Li Xiuying was found, Lu Jianguo has been sitting there with a sullen face, a mixture of doubt and anger in his heart.
Li Xiuying looked at him and finally couldn't help but burst out: "What's wrong with you? I suffered so much in the mountains, and you came back to give me a cold face and embarrassed me in front of so many people."
Lu Jianguo also raised his voice: "What do you think is wrong with me? You were on the mountain with Wang Xiaoming late at night, what do you want me to think?"
The quarrel between the two attracted Liu Cuihua, who hurried over to persuade them: "Alright, alright, stop quarreling. This is a misunderstanding, and now is not the time to quarrel."
Li Xiuying cried and complained aggrievedly: "Mom, I have suffered a great sin today. I wanted to help my family figure out Lin Yuexi's situation, but she played me around in the mountains and even sprained my ankle. I almost couldn't come back. Now, he still suspects me."
Liu Cuihua sighed, "This is indeed strange. Lin Yuexi's behavior on the mountain was too strange. But Xiuying, I'm afraid your tracking method won't work. We have to think of another way."
After listening to his mother's words, Lu Jianguo calmed down a little: "Mom, what do you think?"
Liu Cuihua thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you go out and spread some rumors, saying that you saw a man enter Lin Yuexi's house at night. When more people believe it, we will find a man to enter her room during the day, and then bring people to catch the adultery at night.
By then, I am not afraid that she will not vacate the house, nor will I be afraid that she will not return San'er's allowance..."
After hearing this, Lu Jianguo and Li Xiuying stopped arguing and thought this was a good idea. Not only would it ruin Lin Yuexi's reputation, but they would also be able to live in the three large tiled houses like before and eat up Lu Cheng's allowance.
It can be seen that Liu Cuihua's vicious plan is to kill two birds with one stone. She wants to expose Lin Yuexi's original form in one go. Of course, this plan must be kept secret from that bad old man Lu.
While Lu Jianguo and Li Xiuying were planning this malicious scheme, Lin Yuexi was sleeping peacefully in her own little house, completely unaware that a conspiracy against her was quietly brewing.
However, even if they have any evil plans, it will not have any impact on Lin Yuexi.
The next morning, Lin Yuexi got up early as usual, prepared breakfast for the children, and then took them to play in the yard for a while.
After that, she prepared to go up the mountain with the backpack on her back.
The two children sensibly reminded her to be careful. Lin Yuexi smiled, touched their heads, turned around and set off up the mountain.
On the mountain, Lin Yuexi skillfully searched for traces of Gastrodia elata.
She dug carefully while paying attention to her surroundings.
She actually dug up more than 20 kilograms of wild Gastrodia elata and a wild Ganoderma lucidum that day. Lin Yuexi jumped for joy.
God really helps me!
Lin Yuexi carefully collected the wild Ganoderma lucidum and Gastrodia elata she had dug up and put them into her backpack, her heart filled with joy.
The next day, Lin Yuexi carried a backpack and got on Grandpa Xia's ox cart to the town, and then took a bus to the county town.
This time when Lin Yuexi arrived at "Bencao Yiyuntang", the old Chinese doctor in the lobby already recognized her. He pointed and asked her to go in through the small door by herself.
After Lin Yuexi entered, Master Bai, who was busy at work, saw her coming and immediately stopped what he was doing and came over to say, "Little comrade, you're here again..."
Lin Yuexi nodded and pulled out the cloth bag containing Gastrodia elata from the backpack.
