"The things in the workshop, as long as they are for your own use, you can take a dress for a season. If you see something you like, you can buy it yourself. The same goes for skincare products. You're busy, I'm leaving."
She shouldn't have said these things, since everyone in the village already knew, but she was the new bride, and she was afraid that the third brother, that unreliable fellow, hadn't told her, so she had to say them.
Watching her leave, Madam Su nodded, "I know, Mother, take care." Only after her mother-in-law left did she begin to pack her things, which consisted of just two sets of clothes and a set of skincare products, which her sister-in-law had given her earlier.
What my mother just said, and what my sister-in-law also said, made her sigh in admiration. This village is really great; not only is everyone very united, but everyone is also very easy to get along with.
Before noon, the second brother and Li Dong returned in a horse-drawn cart. It seemed they had been lucky to buy two horses. That evening, with the help of the clansmen, they loaded all the goods onto the cart, ready to set off the next day.
During dinner that evening, An Shuyi told them about how they sold things in Huatian City, giving them a reference. If that didn't work, they could sell things on the street, but that would take a lot of time.
The next day, the second brother and his group set off in five carriages, carrying seventeen people. Besides Wu and Su, there were only fifteen of them. Li Dong also went with them. He used to work in a workshop, but the mundane daily life left him with no passion.
Finally, seeing that the second brother could earn money by going out to attract customers and didn't have to stay in the village, he was the first to agree to help them sell their goods this time.
Watching them leave, An Shuyi and Xia Hua were finally able to go up the mountain. Each of them carried a basket on their backs and a bow and arrow, which they had asked Hunter Zhu to make so that if they encountered prey on the mountain, it would be easier to kill it.
Although a knife could be used, the distance would be too close and blood would splatter, so the two thought of bringing a bow and arrow. Although they had never used one before, they could aim it just like a gun.
This time, the two decided to go to the mountain behind the village, which was the highest. Not only was it high, but it was also wider inside. Although the left and right sides were also high and wide, they still couldn't compare to the mountain behind them. The mountain behind them got deeper and deeper as they went.
This time, they only wanted to go to the deepest part of the mountain. As soon as they reached the top, Xia Hua took out two sets of camouflage uniforms, socks, and boots from her shopping mall. These were all available in the mall, but they were all modern and couldn't be worn. Now that they were on the mountain and there was no one around, these were perfect.
After changing clothes, the hairpins in their hair were removed, their hair was tied into a high ponytail, the sharp knife was inserted into their boots, a basket was slung over their backs, and a bow and arrows were taken.
Wearing familiar clothes and walking through the jungle, An Shuyi said, "This is just like the Amazon rainforest we visited before. Not only are there many plants, but there are also many animals. If we hadn't traveled here, we could have gone to the Amazon rainforest more often."
Before they were fifteen, they had been to many places, but in the following years, they went very few, only once every year or two. They had only been to the Amazon rainforest once, when they were fourteen. They had planned to go to the Amazon rainforest at the end of the year when their company was almost finished, but unexpectedly, they traveled to this place.
Xia Hua thought of the events before she transmigrated, and they flashed through her mind like a movie. "Don't keep thinking about the past. No matter how good it was there, there was no freedom. Now it's so much better. You've made a double leap. You've been elected as a mother-in-law directly. You don't have to go through childbirth. You already have seven children and two grandchildren."
“This kind of life is so good. If you like it, we can stay in the mountains more often. Anyway, the village has Chief Lin, so we don’t need to do anything. We can see all over the world.”
They're forty now, and they can still be crazy for another ten years or so. When they get older, they can stay in the village, drink milk tea every day, chat, and wander around the village. That would be nice too.
An Shuyi nodded, "What you said makes a lot of sense. Let's hurry up and find some flowers and plants. There must be plenty here." She hadn't sold anything in her trading system for several months, so she only had a limited selection.
Now that we've finally managed to get out, we should find as many as possible, ideally a hundred or even more, so that the trip won't be in vain.
Xia Hua nodded, and the two of them stopped talking and began searching for flowers and plants in the forest. Soon, An Shuyi found a clump of peonies. The moment she saw it, she decided that if she couldn't sell it for a thousand taels of silver, she would dig it up and plant it in her yard.
There was a large clump of peonies, at least a dozen or so, piled together. It was really beautiful. Seeing that there were no snakes nearby, she hurriedly ran over, opened the trading system, and realized, "Oh, this is only worth a thousand taels." She regretted it a little; she should have said 1,500 taels.
Seeing her expression change drastically, Xia Hua asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Are these peonies too cheap?"
An Shuyi shook her head. "No, this peony can sell for a thousand taels, but I'm a little reluctant to sell it. I want to dig it up and plant it in our yard. It would be very beautiful."
But if I don't sell it, it's worth a thousand taels! That's about the price of a clivia. I'm torn.
"Haha," Xia Hua chuckled after hearing her words. "There are many precious flowers and plants in this forest. Why are you so worried? Just take them back and plant them in the yard. If we search for a few more days, we can find something worth a thousand taels."
Besides, so what if you can't find it? If you like something, you should keep it in front of you. As the saying goes, "A thousand pieces of gold cannot buy what you love."
After hearing this, An Shuyi thought it made sense. It was only a thousand taels of silver. As long as she had time, she could find several more thousand taels. She took the small hoe that Hua Hua handed her and squatted down to dig up peonies. It seemed that the peony was just one plant. Over time, it would grow and multiply until it became a pile.
It had taken them more than two hours to dig out all the peonies. They were worried about damaging the roots and making them unable to grow. So they put the peonies in the warehouse before continuing their search.
Xia Hua also discovered a clump of tea trees, each as tall as a person, requiring two people holding hands to encircle. The tea trees were covered with tender tea leaves, and she hurriedly asked Shu Shu to check what variety they were.
An Shuyi came over. "White Rooster Crest, 1,500 taels." She had never heard of this kind of tea before, but whatever, as long as it could sell for money, that was fine. "Huahua, let's pick all the tender buds on the tea tree and then dig them up to sell."
This tree is so big; once picked, it might yield several pounds of fresh tea leaves. However, once dried, it won't be as much. Although she doesn't like to drink it, it can be made into milk tea, and it can sell for 1,500 taels of silver. This tea must be very good; it would be nice to use it to entertain guests.
If possible, she would like to find another mother Da Hong Pao tree and plant it in their yard. When it sprouts, she can pick the buds. Of course, the premise is that she doesn't kill it.
Sometimes she wondered if she was just not liked by flowers, plants and trees. In modern times, she had to plant flowers for class assignments. She had tried a few times, but unsurprisingly, they always turned into withered weeds. On the contrary, flowers grew very well.
