The old lady went to cook, and the little rascals followed her.
"Grandma is angry, we can't let her hit my sister, we have to take responsibility for making Grandma happy."
The speaker is Xi Bao from the eldest son's family. She is only 9 years old this year. In addition to Xi Bao, the eldest son's family also has an 8-year-old daughter named Huan Bao.
Huanbao just happened to be visiting her maternal grandparents' house with her mother these past few days.
The other three children are Su Chen and Su Yu, the twins from the second son's family.
There's also Su Mingxuan from the third son's family.
The old lady was cooking, and several little kids were chattering and trying to keep her entertained.
The meal was ready in no time.
The food was served, but the family remained seated.
Let's eat!
Old Su only dared to pick up his chopsticks after his wife finished speaking.
He started eating, and the others gradually began to eat their food as well.
Grandma Su scooped a large spoonful of steamed egg custard into Su Muyao's bowl.
On the table, there was a small bowl of steamed egg custard. After the old lady scooped out a large spoonful, there was almost nothing left in the bowl.
Su Muyao felt heartbroken watching this scene.
It seems I need to find a business opportunity as soon as possible to make money for this family.
Shouldn't we find a reason to take out some of the treasures in our own space?
Over the past year, she has come to know clearly how much this family likes her—more than the family's mischievous boys.
"This cabbage is so delicious, little sister, you should eat it!" Four-year-old Su Mingxuan still had a little unclear speech, but he knew how to put food on his little sister's plate.
It was this small gesture that made Su Muyao make up her mind.
Grandma Su looked at her grandson's greedy little face.
"Your sister will pick out whatever she wants to eat and serve it to you. She's just like your old man."
The third son's wife looked at her son and thought that he had grown up and knew how to love his sister.
While Grandma Su was eating with her head down, Su Mingxuan made a face at his younger sister.
Looking at this adorable appearance, Su Muyao couldn't help but want to pinch it.
Before long, the family was full. It was a rare treat, and everyone ate and drank their fill before going about their own business.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncles, and Mom and Dad, please hold on a moment, I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, the second son's wife, who was about to wash the dishes, stopped.
The group sat back down at the table.
Su Muyao then spoke up: "In my dream, there was an old man with a white beard who taught me things every day."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Su immediately wanted to take his little granddaughter to the clinic for a checkup.
I've heard before about children suffering from certain depressions, like having nightmares. Could it be that my little granddaughter is sick too?
Grandma Su was quite shrewd and managed to stop her unreliable old man.
"Let my darling finish speaking first."
Su Muyao continued, "That old man with the white beard not only taught me animal language, but also gave me many things, including various recipes. Our family can start a business in the future..."
Everyone heard the little girl sitting on the table, her little mouth opening and closing as she talked about the future.
They are just ordinary farmers. Their biggest wish is to have enough to eat three meals a day. They don't even think about doing business to make big money.
Even the old lady just thought it was something a child said casually and didn't take it seriously. "Okay, okay, my good baby, you'll earn lots of money in the future to buy pretty clothes and beautiful hair ties."
Su Mengyao nodded, "I also want to buy Grandma a big gold bracelet."
Grandma Su was so happy to be coaxed by her granddaughter that she completely forgot about scolding the little one for running up the mountain.
Old Man Sun, standing to the side, was a little jealous. "So you only remember that your grandma and grandpa don't want you anymore?"
"How could that be? When I earn money, I'll give it to Grandpa and get him a new pipe made of jade."
Old Man Su was satisfied now, and chuckled, "How could that be? That jade is for wealthy families. When our little darling earns some money, he can just buy some good tobacco for his grandpa to smoke."
Seeing that nothing serious had happened, everyone went back to their own business.
Su Muyao didn't care; she would just blame everything that happened later on on the dream.
We don't need them to completely believe it now; we just need to let them know that such a thing exists.
Everyone in the family was busy with their own things, and no one would have thought that the little one, who had just come down from the mountain at noon, would be going up the mountain again soon.
This time, however, his attempt to sneak out was not so smooth, and he was quickly caught by Su Sanlang.
"You're sneaking away again, are you planning to go up the mountain again?"
Su Mengyao was caught red-handed, but when she saw it was her own father, things were easy to handle.
Besides spoiling me, my father is also a money-grubber. If I tell him I'll go up the mountain to earn money for him, he might actually agree.
"Dad, listen to me! I'm going to the mountains to do something big, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone, or Grandma will definitely beat me!"
Su Sanlang snorted coldly, "No way."
"Please, Dad!"
"If I say no, then no, unless..."
Upon hearing that there was hope, Su Muyao quickly asked, "Unless what?"
"Unless I take you there, what then?"
"Okay, let's go then," she said, grabbing her father's hand and dragging him outside.
Just kidding, what if my not-so-bright old man changes his mind and we can't go?
On the way, Su Sanlang asked his daughter, "Wait a minute, I'm going to dig up some wild vegetables on that piece of land by the mountain. Just follow behind me and don't run around."
"I know, I know, you've said it three times already."
As soon as we reached the foot of the mountain, we started rummaging through the grass to see if there were any medicinal herbs nearby.
Before transmigrating, I did a lot of intensive study on herbal medicine.
This is the top choice for those hoping to get rich.
Thinking of the hardships her family was facing, Su Muyao's steps toward the mountains became even more hurried.
"Sweetie, don't go any further in. Just stay around here."
"knew"
"Dad, do you think there might be bird eggs in this tree? Look at that big bird nest!"
Su Sanlang looked up and saw that there was indeed a large tree directly above him, with a huge bird's nest in one of its branches.
Thinking that there might actually be bird eggs inside, he told Su Muyao, who was under the tree, "You wait here obediently, I'll go up and take a look."
"Don't worry, Dad, I'll be waiting for you down there. We'll cook the bird eggs for dinner tonight."
As soon as Su Sanlang started climbing, Su Muyao began searching for various herbs nearby.
Persistence pays off, and she actually found quite a few.
However, they all look cheap. There's a large patch of wild chrysanthemums here, but we'll go pick them later.
I also saw a few plants of *Longyangcao*, which thrives in sunny conditions and has heat-clearing and detoxifying effects.
In ancient times, this herb was quite valuable. Then we saw a plant with leaves that looked a lot like ginseng.
Su Muyao gazed at the ginseng leaves and the familiar red fruit trees on them.
"Could I really be Heaven's favorite daughter? These are things that only female protagonists in novels would encounter, and I've actually run into them myself."
