Seeing that the group was interested, Xie Yushu picked out a few common medicinal herbs and told them about their approximate production volume and market buyback price.
For example, motherwort, isatis root, carnation, dandelion, forsythia, schisandra, etc. are all common and easy-to-manage medicinal herbs that grow wildly on the mountain!
Upon hearing that it was indeed a medicinal herb that grew very well, and considering the yield and price, it was much more profitable than growing corn, the group was quite interested!
They all depend on the land for their livelihood, and when it comes to the issue of food for the whole family, no one dares to make a decision on their own. They all say they should go home and discuss it first!
Xie Yushu had no problem with it. Even if they didn't plant it this year, they would all rush to plant it the following year after seeing how much money those who did plant it made!
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content and having chatted enough, the group got up to say goodbye!
I guess they're in a hurry to get home and discuss something!
Xie Baotian politely tried to persuade them to stay, but then let them go.
This day can be considered a perfect one for Xie Yushu's family. After a few rests, Xie Baotian proceeded with the preparations for Xie Tianlin's wedding in an orderly manner!
The Lu family members also started cutting out the character for "double happiness" and tying red flowers!
Xie Yushu was all smiles and busy as bees, but her adopted son, Marquis Anle Chu Jinyu, was suffering!
Since embarking on her journey to find her mother, Chu Jinyu hadn't had a single good day. Being young, she was single-mindedly focused on returning to the side of familiar people and made almost no preparations. The few big white pears and steamed buns crawled into the box and set off with the car!
In order to escape the oppressive Anle Marquis's mansion, he made a huge decision and was determined to never turn back!
Fortunately, the maid Green Willow who accompanied the carriage and the guards were afraid of losing things, so they remembered to carry the things into the room every day when they stayed at the inn. Otherwise, Chu Jinyu would have been freezing and would have suffered a terrible injury!
To avoid being discovered, the little guy endured hunger, eating only one steamed bun and one pear a day!
Normally, it stays huddled in its box and dares not move!
They even relieved themselves in the box!
Of course, being small, he couldn't think of any good solutions. He could only throw two more bolts of cloth out of the box when no one was looking to make room for him to relieve himself. He would then move one bolt of cloth aside and do his business before pushing the cloth back in!
Luckily it was winter, so it froze shortly after he finished eating, and the smell wasn't too strong!
In addition, he had been eating little and urinating and defecating infrequently these past few days, which is why he managed to make it to his destination!
Of course, it's a pity that Chu Mingzhu sent all that cloth to Old Madam Xiao from afar to show her filial piety!
Once it's brought indoors and thawed, you can imagine what it will taste like!
After a bumpy ten-day journey, we finally arrived at the entrance of Phoenix Mouth Village!
Xiao Jinyu heard Green Willow send someone to inquire about the address of Old Madam Xiao's house!
The other two went to inquire about Xie Yushu's situation, leaving only Lvliu by the carriage. She took the opportunity to push open the box and quietly jumped out!
Seeing that Green Willow hadn't noticed, it quietly hid behind a woodpile by the roadside!
Before long, the people who had inquired about the news returned one after another. Upon hearing that Xie Yushu had been divorced by the Xiao family matriarch, Green Willow felt relieved. She would go back and tell her princess the news, and the princess would surely be happy. She had really gained credit for nothing!
The four guards hesitated, and turned to Green Willow.
"Since she's already been divorced, she won't be a problem for the princess anymore. She's just a village girl; there's no need to drive her to such extremes!"
Upon hearing this, Green Willow raised her eyebrows and rebuked...
"Regardless of whether Xie Yushu has been divorced or not, your mission is to kill Xie Yushu to prevent future troubles for the princess!"
If you dare disobey my orders, I'll go back and tell the princess that you've all grown too big for your own good and can't be kept!
"Let the princess punish you by making you kneel in the ancestral hall. Let's see what you have to offer when you meet the general!"
Although Green Willow's attitude infuriated the group, these words reminded them of their past friendship with the general, so they had no choice but to comply. Knowing that Xie Yushu's family was in Xie Family Village, they decided to split into two groups to go there, deal with the situation, and be done with it!
However, Green Willow disagreed and said sternly.
"Do you know why the princess asked you to escort me here? It's because it looks better with more people. We are the dignified Marquis of Anle's mansion. What would it look like if only the three of us went!"
"She's just a village woman. It's nothing for you few to do, just lift a finger. What's the rush? What's wrong with letting her live a little longer?"
Although the group was dissatisfied with Green Willow's attitude, they figured that dealing with a village woman was not a big deal, so they agreed to Green Willow's request.
As soon as Green Willow and the others left, Chu Jinyu ran towards his old home. He had vaguely heard them talking about someone being divorced. Could it be his mother? He didn't know what being divorced meant. He only knew that those bad guys wanted to kill his mother, so he had to hurry and tell her!
Chu Jinyu was a little anxious. However, she hadn't eaten well for several days, and in the last two days she had only eaten one pear. Her strength had been unknowingly exhausted. She hadn't felt anything while lying in the box, but now that she was on the ground, she hadn't even run two steps before she stumbled and almost fell!
After finally stumbling and bumping my way to my doorstep, I saw several unfamiliar boys catching geese in the yard!
There were also several unfamiliar women making a fuss!
This is clearly his home. His father built this house piece by piece with mud bricks, and his mother bought the chickens, ducks, and geese. How did strangers suddenly move in?
It's no wonder that Chu Jinyu didn't recognize Xiao Damei's family. He was young, and when Xiao Damei's family was at home, they never saw Xiao Yi, the lame brother. When they went back to their mother's home, they wouldn't come to Xiao Yi's place. Later, they went out to escape famine for more than a year. Chu Jinyu basically had no impression of their family, except that he knew that there was such a person as Xiao Damei!
