There were also many aunts who picked some of the wild vegetables they had picked and gave them to Xiao Ling'er's family as return gifts.
Several of the aunts expressed their gratitude as they left:
"Sister Ling, you are such a lucky star. It's all thanks to you that we have water to drink and food to eat."
"Yes, if it weren't for you, our family of five might have collapsed on the roadside, becoming those Chang ghosts who can't return home."
"Yes, it was you who saved us, and it was you who gave us hope to live.
Now you are still willing to share the precious wild boar meat with everyone, Sister Ling, you are a living Bodhisattva! "
I don’t know what Shi Lin and the others said to these refugees, but they just flattered Xiao Ling’er.
Xiao Ling'er dealt with it with a faint smile, and in the end she did not refuse and happily accepted the wild vegetables everyone brought.
After everyone left, Wang Dali came over with his daughter Wang Erya carrying a backpack.
The expressions of the father and daughter have changed a lot compared to five days ago. There is a light in their eyes, the kind of light that shows hope for life.
"Brother Wang, is there something wrong?" Xiao Ling'er saw Wang Dali and his daughter stopped not far away, wanting to go forward but hesitant, so she took the initiative to ask.
"I... I found a kind of food I've never seen before. I tried it and it's edible. It tastes crispy and sweet and is very delicious.
Ling...Sister Ling'er, if you don't mind, I'll bring some over for you and your family to try."
Wang Dali took a few steps closer and watched Xiao Ling'er finish her words in one breath. Then he took off the backpack and revealed the things inside.
Xiao Ling'er originally just glanced casually, then stood up excitedly. This... isn't this lotus root?
In addition to being rich in protein, vitamins, and starch, lotus root also contains high levels of iron, copper, potassium, and zinc.
It has the effect of replenishing qi and blood, and is very suitable for people with iron deficiency anemia to eat more.
[Ding, natural wild lotus root detected. Sweet and rich in protein, vitamins, iron, zinc, and other beneficial ingredients. One pound can be exchanged for 48 wealth points.]
Not wanting to be left behind, the system also started reporting, but the tone of the report didn't seem as positive as before.
Three days ago, the system's broadcasts were not as active as before. It might be because it had discovered that no matter how much it broadcast, Xiao Ling'er would not redeem it.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Wang. This is really good stuff. I'll only take two, and you can eat the rest."
As Xiao Ling'er spoke, she picked out two medium-sized ones from Wang Dali's backpack.
"I still have some left for myself, and these are for you."
Seeing that Xiao Ling'er only took two, Wang Dali anxiously wanted to take out all the lotus roots in the basket.
"Brother Wang, listen to me. This stuff is really good. Not only is it nutritious, it's also very beneficial for people with anemia. Leave some for Erya."
Xiao Ling'er stopped Wang Dali's behavior and glanced at Old Man Wang and a few others who were secretly peeking at them from a distance.
He glanced at Erya, who was standing beside Wang Dali, looking timid, with her head slightly lowered, and as thin as a branch, and couldn't help but say something:
"Brother Wang, filial piety is a virtue, but the saying "a loving father and a filial son" means that parents' love comes first, and then children's filial piety.
Kindness comes first, filial piety comes second. If the father is not kind, the son may also be unfilial.
While you are the son of your parents, you are also the father of your children.
I hope you can shoulder the responsibilities that a father should shoulder, and not become an unkind father yourself just because you are a filial son who is not kind to your father."
Xiao Ling'er's words were truly shocking and contrary to common sense. Several pairs of eyes looked at her in surprise. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
