Chapter 32: Mrs. Zheng Picks Up a Bargain



Xiushui felt sorry for this silly father and quickly snatched those things away.

"Dad, let's keep this thing and study it slowly. Look, the bag is empty and everyone is tired. Let's go to sleep quickly."

The old lady also followed suit. "Yes, we walked all day and trained for a long time. You may not be tired, but I am exhausted."

Go to bed, if you take a look, it will be the chance for Xiushui here, and you won’t get a chance even if you take a look.

Stay alert and be more vigilant tomorrow.

You might find some good opportunity along the way."

Everyone knows this, but they just think that since I don't have any, it might be a good idea to satisfy my curiosity.

After being chased away, everyone had no choice but to go to bed, hoping that their family members could find an opportunity.

You know what, some people actually found the opportunity.

When Mr. Qian came back, he actually brought a half-dead roe deer!

Chu Laowu's wife even found a nest of pheasants and a pile of eggs...

With these two successful examples, finding opportunities has become something that everyone is excited about.

If my physical strength allowed it, I would continue my journey tomorrow.

I'm afraid I'll have to stay up all night looking for an opportunity.

Because these two people found opportunities, the big sack of hemp found by the Wen family is not so attractive.

After all, what everyone thinks is that if I look for opportunities tomorrow, I might find more things.

Xiushui secretly taught several aunts and Sister Xiufa how to use sanitary napkins.

These people had red faces and stood there with their hands knotted throughout the whole process.

After completing his mission, he retired and came out to find the trees where the Wen family had found several sleeping bags and were tying them up.

"Xiushui, Xiushui, I heard your family wants to exchange eggs for different kinds. Do you still want these pheasant eggs? I'll bring them to you."

Although she only wanted fertilized eggs, she couldn't tell anyone about it. After all, who would specifically exchange fertilized eggs while fleeing famine?

"Uncle, I collected it! How many do you have?"

Chu Laowu lifted the grass from the basket and grinned. "There are probably eight or nine of them. Take them, girl. I'm going back."

"Uncle, wait a minute. I always exchange supplies with others, and you are no exception."

Chu Laowu waved his hand. "No, no, I know it's not easy for you guys either. Just consider this egg as a token of goodwill between our families."

"No, I'll give you some dried meat instead. This is the dried meat I made at home. Take it."

Without further ado, I gave him a bag of dried meat. He didn't want to accept it, but the aroma made him reluctant to give it up. Finally, he sighed.

"Girl, I really want to make a good relationship with you, why do you have to be so polite?"

"Fifth Uncle, your family is having a harder time right now. You have to stay strong. After all, your brothers and sisters are still waiting for you to find them."

When talking about the missing children from his family, Chu Laowu's eyes turned red and he clenched the dried meat tightly.

"Well, okay..."

After he returned, his wife came over to him.

He moved his nose a few times to sweep away the dark face he had earlier.

"Hehe, I knew the Wen family was kind and honest. They gave it to me and asked me to keep it."

"You have the best nose. I told you this is a gift for the Wen family, why are you thinking of giving it in return?"

Chu Li rolled her eyes at him, then took the bag of dried meat that was secretly handed to her and smiled.

She knew that the Wen family would not take advantage of others for nothing, so when the head of the family offered to give them eggs, she had this little idea in mind.

"The Wen family is too generous. Just a few small wild eggs, and they actually exchanged them for such a thing as yours.

You have to take better care of them from now on. They must have felt sorry for us and that’s why they exchanged so much for us.”

Chu Laowu nodded. This woman is very smart and has a lot of plans.

But one thing is for sure, she has a good memory. The couple chose a tree-tied sleeping bag that was not too big.

After making the sleeping bag, Chu Li was still sighing.

"People in Xiushui who used to be so quiet that they couldn't even fart all day, now that they've escaped famine, they've become quite capable.

Look at this sleeping bag, it’s no better than sleeping on the ground.

Most importantly, some grass leaves are stuffed inside to prevent mosquitoes and insects, which can keep out the cold and insects.

Wrapped in thin clothes, it's quite comfortable to sleep swaying at night."

Chu Laowu also nodded in agreement, and at the same time became more determined to keep a close eye on the Wen family in the future.

Looking at the people fleeing the famine, most of them were in a panic, but the family led by Old Mrs. Wen were either weaving or picking.

Hunting is even easier. Although there are losses along the way, there is food and drink at home.

Occasionally I smell the fragrance of rice and meat in their house... Tsk, it feels like their life is better than those in the village.

The couple was talking about the Wen family, and the good brothers Qian and Li also gathered together, strolling around and chatting before going to bed.

"Old Qian, do you think that even though they're all fleeing famine, why do I feel like Old Lady Wen's family is a little different?"

Old Qian was almost dazed. He hummed in confusion: "Why is it different? I'm tired like a dog and thin like a monkey..."

"No, no, no, I always feel that the Wen family, who fled the famine, have a different spirit. Also, they have a clear division of labor. They are also very united, and they seem to know exactly what they have to do...

How should I put it... I just feel like their whole family is a little different..."

Old Qian yawned. "You mean to say they're energetic and have a well-organized family structure? I told you to study more, but you're just busy making money."

However, the Wen family's luck was indeed good. It was said that the sleeping bag was also invented by Xiushui. And regarding pharmacology, Ruzhu wasn't very good before.

Now with Xiushui joining us..."
