Chapter 055 The quarrel started
Soon, several people arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Wen Kexin said to everyone, "You can start by digging for dandelions, purslane, and spinach. I think there are a lot of them around here."
Sister Song said in surprise: "I thought we were going to dig something. I was worried that I wouldn't recognize them. These wild vegetables are too common. Let's dig them quickly."
Goudan and Dani had dug wild vegetables before. These common wild vegetables were easy to identify, so they quickly lowered their heads and started digging.
Wen Kexin found that the two children were very well behaved, and whispered, "Second sister, you take the children to dig here, and I will walk around nearby."
Sister Song nodded and said, "Go ahead, but don't go too far."
"OK!"
Wen Kexin was overjoyed, it’s settled!
She hurried up the mountain.
The hillside here is very gentle. Perhaps because people often go up the mountain to chop firewood, there are so many people walking up that a path has been formed over time.
She walked up the path, and after more than ten minutes, she suddenly found a patch of flowers not far from the path. No, it seemed to be a honeysuckle tree. The sparse yellow and white flowers were particularly eye-catching under the sunlight.
She rushed over excitedly, took a closer look, and found that it was indeed honeysuckle!
I didn’t expect there were wild honeysuckle trees growing here.
The book says that honeysuckle has antibacterial, antiviral, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects. Its price after picking, processing and drying is definitely higher than that of medicinal materials such as dandelion.
She picked them with delight, specifically picking the buds that were about to bloom.
Such flower buds have the best medicinal effects. The medicinal value of the already opened honeysuckle is not as good as such flower buds. Now that they have been discovered, of course we must maximize the benefits.
Half an hour later, she had picked half a basket.
Although it looks like a lot, there is not much left after processing and drying.
I took a look at the honeysuckle trees that had been picked, and they were either in full bloom, had just finished blooming, or had small buds.
She was just about to continue looking for honeysuckle trees around.
Suddenly, I heard a quarrel coming from the foot of the mountain and was immediately shocked.
I leaned over and looked down, and vaguely heard the familiar sound of children quarreling. That was where Goudan and his friends were digging medicinal herbs.
Even though Goudan and Dani believed the slander and disliked her, she would not hold it against the children.
We must not let outsiders bully them!
She decisively picked up the backpack and ran down the mountain.
When she ran to the foot of the mountain, she found that there were indeed several children arguing not far away, including Goudan and Dani.
Second Sister Song was so anxious that she was sweating profusely while trying to stop the fight.
She quickly recognized that the people arguing with the two children were Wen Keqin, Wen Keai and Ping'an.
Wen Kexin was immediately confused. Why were they arguing?
She knew very well that her two younger sisters and brother would not cause trouble for no reason. Could it be that Goudan was the one causing trouble?
She quickened her pace and vaguely heard Goudan shouting at the top of his lungs: "I just told you, this place is ours! Are you deaf? Or stupid? Why are you still staying here? You are such a shameless villain who never gets enough of taking advantage of others..."
What happened last night made Goudan feel embarrassed.
When I was digging medicinal herbs just now, I found that the Wen siblings were also there to dig.
New and old grudges surged into his mind, and he thought that his second aunt must have told his younger brothers and sisters about the medicinal herbs.
They are clearly here to grab our territory and money! I was so angry that I wanted to drive a few people away unreasonably.
The Wen siblings had no idea of Goudan’s little thoughts.
Wen Keqin argued, "Why are you so overbearing? Is this your home? You have no shame!"
Wen Ping'an jumped up and said, "That's right. For my eldest sister's sake, we didn't want to bother with you, but you kept biting like a mad dog."
Goudan's face flushed red, and he continued to curse angrily: "You bunch of vampires, who are you calling a mad dog?"
Second Sister Song pulled Goudan and said, "Stop making trouble, Goudan. Why do you say anything? For your second aunt's sake, please stop making trouble."
Wen Pingan rushed over, "Who do you say is a vampire? Whose blood did we suck?"
Hearing the noise, the villagers who were digging wild vegetables nearby gathered over curiously.
Wen Kexin finally rushed over.
Just now, she clearly heard why Goudan had a conflict with his younger brothers and sisters.
She said with a gloomy face: "Goudan, you should be reasonable. The land is collectively owned. Why don't you allow others to dig wild vegetables?"
When Wen Keqin and the others saw that it was the eldest sister who came, they came over and said aggrievedly, "Eldest sister, it was Goudan who was unreasonable. We didn't say anything."
Wen Kexin patted her brother and sister's shoulders soothingly and said, "Goudan is still young. For your sake, don't bother with him."
Several people nodded forbearingly.
Wen Kexin glanced at the backpacks of her second sister and the others and found that they had dug out a lot.
It was obvious that the younger sisters and brothers had just arrived, and the wild vegetables in their baskets could not even cover the bottom.
She said kindly, "It's getting hotter, let's go back."
Goudan glared at her in dissatisfaction and said stubbornly: "I won't go back! Why should I give up my place to them?"
In his mind, Second Aunt wanted to leave because she was partial to her younger siblings.
Wen Kexin's face suddenly darkened, "Are you not going to go back and be treated as a monkey? Look around you?"
Only then did Goudan realize that there were a lot of people nearby watching the fun.
Second Sister Song also realized something was wrong and patiently advised: "Goudan, it's almost noon, your grandma must be making something delicious, let's go back and dig in the afternoon."
Goudan came to Wen Ping'an and said in a lecturing tone, "We are leaving. Come back to dig in the afternoon. You are not allowed to dig this kind, and this kind... They are all medicinal herbs. Do you hear me?"
Of course Wen Ping'an had heard from his mother that his sister was going to take them to dig for medicinal herbs.
Could it be that the things Goudan dug up are medicinal herbs?
But why did my sister tell the Song family? Why didn’t she tell them?
Goudan knows everything, and he still wants to bully them?
He looked at his eldest sister with strange eyes.
Wen Keqin and her sisters also looked at their eldest sister in surprise, not understanding why she didn't take them to dig medicinal herbs?
The people who were eating melons nearby were surprised and came over to ask curiously, "Goudan, what do you think this is? Medicinal herbs? Are you digging these herbs for money?"
"Goudan, where can we exchange the herbs for money?"
"What other herbs are there, Goudan, tell me quickly?"
"Ke Xin, what is going on?"
Feeling everyone's anxious attitude, Goudan realized that he was in trouble. He didn't know what to say and could only look at Second Aunt.
Wen Kexin sighed inwardly, if a child can keep a secret, a sow can climb a tree.
Why is it so difficult for her to just find a reason to make money?
This matter must be settled!
At the same time, he secretly thanked God that his backpack was not placed on the ground.
If everyone saw the honeysuckle in the basket, it would definitely cause a big earthquake and become the target of public criticism.
She said calmly, "Fellow villagers, this is a misunderstanding. When we were eating wild vegetables, I just said that dandelions are also considered medicinal herbs and are good for the body, and the child remembered it. When we were digging wild vegetables, I said I was digging medicinal herbs. As for whether I could exchange them for money and where I could exchange them for money, I really don't know."
That’s all I have to say. I don’t care what you think.
After saying that, she took Goudan and left.
Goudan knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he didn't dare to argue anymore and was dragged away with his lips tightly pursed.
Song Erjie and Da Niu hurriedly packed up their things in the backpacks and hurried back behind them.
The crowd was unwilling to give in and shouted, "Wait, why are you leaving?"
"Do you have any way to make money? Why are you leaving?"
“How stingy!”
