After everyone left, the Su family began washing, cleaning, and tidying up.
Suddenly, Grandma Su saw her precious child holding something golden in his hand.
I put down my bowl and chopsticks and went over to take a look. It was terrible. I quickly carried the little dumpling into the room.
The people outside were confused, but soon they heard Old Mrs. Su calling for people to come in.
"Come in quickly, all of you! The boss has locked the door!"
Upon hearing this, everyone knew there must be something going on that couldn't be revealed to others.
The eldest brother quickly closed the door, and the rest of the people then turned and went into the room.
Upon entering the room, one could see Su Muyao sitting on the bed, swinging her short legs with an innocent, childlike demeanor.
Grandma Su sat to the side, holding something in her hand, looking very nervous.
"Old woman, why are you so nervous? What's wrong?"
Grandma Su quickly handed the things in her hands to Grandpa Su.
Old Su looked closely and realized it was a golden nugget, gleaming brightly.
"Sweetie, where did you come from?"
After Grandma Su asked this question, everyone in the room turned to look at Su Muyao.
“Grandpa, Grandma, this is what my master gave me. He said knowledge can change destiny and that I should go to school to study.”
Old Man Su then remembered that his darling had said a couple of days ago that she had a master in her dream, but this...
Immediately afterwards, Su Muyao conjured up a large chicken leg from her empty little hands and started gnawing on it.
This sudden turn of events nearly made Old Mrs. Su faint from fright, and everyone in the room was also shocked by the unexpected turn of events.
Su Sanlang, on the other hand, looked excited.
"Girl, girl, is this what they call turning stone into gold in those plays? Oh, no, no, you just become a chicken leg without any special ingredients."
Su Sanlang patted his head and fell into deep thought again. What was this called in the opera again?
"Oh, right, it's a magical artifact, isn't it? We just can't see it, right?"
Su Muyao said leisurely, "No, this is something my master gave me. He gave it to me so I can give it to you."
Upon hearing this, the group assumed that the master Fu Bao was talking about was right in front of them.
Grandma Su suddenly knelt down and cried out, "Immortal, please don't blame the child for being too young and not knowing manners. It's our fault as adults for not teaching him well. Please don't blame him."
Su Muyao quickly jumped off the bed. "Grandma, get up! My master isn't here; he's on the Immortal Island."
He can communicate with me using his divine sense, and he can also teach me things in my dreams. Don't be afraid, he says he is an immortal.
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Old Man Su and Old Woman Su exchanged a glance, and their eyes became much sharper when they looked at their son and daughter-in-law.
"Keep everything you hear and see to yourself today."
If I ever find out what you've said, don't blame me for being ruthless.
The three sons were also frightened by their mother's appearance.
This little old lady has always been kind and gentle; when has she ever been so fierce?
Yes, that means fierce.
It's like a newly brooding hen, fiercely protective of her chicks, ready to attack you at any moment.
Everyone nodded in agreement. The third son's wife replied, "Mother, don't worry, I swear I will never tell. This is my precious child, someone I will protect and will not let anyone hurt her."
The eldest son, the second son, and the second son's wife all nodded in agreement.
"And to the eldest son's family, don't tell your wife about this. If she tells her family, things will get really bad."
Don't worry, Mom.
The old lady, worried that her son wouldn't be able to control his mouth, continued to give him instructions.
"It's not that I don't trust you, and it's certainly not that I trust your wife."
But as you know, the eldest daughter-in-law is just too kind.
She thinks they're all her family, so she tells them everything. But think about it carefully, those bloodsuckers in her family don't treat her like family at all.
So just in case, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone about this.
Su Laoda knew his mother was worried, so naturally he wouldn't tell his wife. It wasn't that he didn't trust his wife, but her family was just inhuman!
She asked for two taels of silver when she married me, and after everything was settled, she added another tael.
Back then, a bride's dowry was usually around one tael (approximately 50 grams).
Over the years, my wife would occasionally go back to her parents' home, but each time she would bring back a little something.
But when they came back, they were empty-handed again. Those people were just leeches who only knew how to suck blood.
The old lady sat on the bed and stroked Xiao Fubao's head.
"Let's just let this go after we've talked about it once today. You absolutely mustn't bring it up again, understand?"
There are a lot of bad people around these days. If they knew that our Fu Bao had this kind of ability, they would definitely want to kidnap you.
Got it? Never say that again, not to anyone.
Su Muyao nodded, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll tell you, just not anyone else."
The old lady was so pleased with herself that she just laughed.
That evening, Old Mrs. Su gave instructions to everyone in each room again and again, just in case anyone let slip the secret.
I don't tell any of the children in the family either; kids can't keep their mouths shut.
Old Man Su turned his head and saw the ginseng on the table in the room.
"Old woman, come and see this!"
"What's all the fuss about?" Old Mrs. Su glanced at it. "Old man, why does this look so much like ginseng?"
Su Sanlang also came over and saw that this was the wild root that his beloved little daughter had asked him to dig up.
Why put it in the room? And on such a nice cloth.
"Dad, this is a grass root that my darling and I dug out for her yesterday when we went up the mountain to collect bird eggs. She insisted on having it and asked me to help her dig it out. How come it's still there?"
Grandma Su wished she could give her clueless third son a good whack.
"What kind of grass root is this? It looks like ginseng."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Su immediately took the item as if it were a precious treasure and held it carefully.
"Old woman, it looks quite like ginseng to me."
The plant has yellowish-white roots, a thick taproot, and an upright, cylindrical stem.
Grandma Su's hands trembled with excitement as she pointed at the medicinal herb: "It looks just like it, so much like it! I remember seeing it perfectly intact at the pharmacy when I got your medicine before."
Old Su slapped his thigh as he recalled, "I remember now, yes, but it looks much smaller than this one. I heard that the other one is over a hundred years old, and it's the prized possession of that old clinic."
Taoliu Village has always been this poor. People know there are good treasures in the mountains, but there are also man-eating wild beasts in the mountains. Compared with life, good treasures are not so important.
I've heard before that some people have dug up valuable medicinal herbs, but those were things that happened in other villages.
I've never heard of this village before.
Grandma Su was already considering whether to sell the ginseng or keep it as a dowry for Fu Bao.
Old Su picked up another plant and asked, "Is this Panax notoginseng?"
I recognized the old man Su's Panax notoginseng. Underneath the green leaves were grayish-brown roots with intermittent longitudinal wrinkles and branch root scars.
"Yes, yes, this is Panax notoginseng. I've seen it before."
Old Man Su was quite certain.
Su Sanlang was also very excited. If this really was Rensheng and Sanqi, then he had dug them out of the ground with his own hands!
Thankfully, I didn't throw it away like a weed. My daughter is amazing.
Thinking to himself, he moved closer to Su Muyao and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
