Lin Qinghuan recovered and stood up with Wei Xiao's help. She moved her limbs and twisted her waist, and found that she had not broken any bones. Only the exposed skin was scratched. She smiled and looked at Wei Xiao, "This slope is quite steep, but it is smooth. There are a lot of pine needles on the trees and a lot of grass growing on the ground. I didn't hit any rocks. I was lucky to be okay."
When Wei Xiao heard Lin Qinghuan say that she was alright, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she was alright.
He reached out and brushed the mud and grass off Lin Qinghuan's body, then tidied her messy hair. He noticed several wounds on the back of her fair hands, some from thorns and others from grass. He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the blood seeping from the wounds, carefully picked out the thorns, and wiped the mud off her hands.
Lin Qinghuan felt as sweet as if she had eaten candy as she watched Wei Xiao take such good care of her.
After tending to the wound on the back of his hand, Wei Xiao looked at Lin Qinghuan with concern and asked, "Where else are you injured?"
Lin Qinghuan kissed Wei Xiao on the cheek. "His ankles were also scratched by thorns and thatch, but it's nothing serious, just minor injuries."
As Lin Qinghuan spoke, she looked down at her canvas shoes and frowned. She had forgotten to change into work shoes when she went out, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen today. She didn't know if the pine mushroom had broken.
Lin Qinghuan suddenly froze, her face filled with disbelief. She thought she saw wild ginseng.
How could there be wild ginseng here? Am I seeing things?
Lin Qinghuan suddenly squatted down, gently stroking the leaves, staring intently at them to identify them, a look of surprise on her face. Yes, it really was wild ginseng!
Holy crap! Her luck is off the charts! She even managed to stumble upon wild ginseng after falling down?
Wei Xiao noticed Lin Qinghuan staring at the ground and asked in confusion, "Qinghuan, what are you looking at?"
"Wei Xiao, come quick! I found a wild ginseng!" Lin Qinghuan said with a smile.
Wei Xiao was stunned when he heard this. How could there be wild ginseng here? Could Qing Huan be seeing things?
Wei Xiao squatted down for a closer look and realized it really was wild ginseng. He couldn't help but chuckle. Could Qing Huan be considered to have turned misfortune into blessing?
Overjoyed, Lin Qing grabbed Wei Xiao's sleeve and urged, "Wei Xiao, hurry up and get the hoe, let's dig up the wild ginseng."
Wei Xiao affectionately ruffled Lin Qinghuan's hair and said helplessly, "You still have the energy to dig for wild ginseng? Doesn't your injury hurt?"
"We have to dig even if it hurts. We can't waste resources, or we'll be struck by lightning," Lin Qinghuan said.
Wei Xiao laughed upon hearing this, "Okay, you wait here, I'll go get the hoe right away."
Lin Qinghuan said, "Don't tell Grandpa and the others that I found wild ginseng. I want to give them a surprise."
"Okay," Wei Xiao said, leaving to get a hoe.
Wei Xiao arrived at Grandma Lin's grave, picked up a hoe and started walking. Lin's father asked curiously, "Wei Xiao, what are you doing with that hoe?"
“Qinghuan saw something good and asked me to get the hoe,” Wei Xiao replied.
A look of understanding appeared on Lin's father's face. Qinghuan must have seen some good medicinal herbs and sent Wei Xiao back to get the hoe.
Lin Qinghuan sat on the ground, looking at the wild ginseng with a big smile. This wild ginseng should be over thirty years old, yet it hadn't been discovered by anyone.
Wei Xiao carried the hoe and walked towards Lin Qinghuan. The bright sunlight shone on her, bathing her in its warmth and making her look pure and holy, like an angel. Wei Xiao was mesmerized by her beauty.
Lin Qinghuan looked at Wei Xiao, smiled brightly at him, and teased, "Wei Xiao, you're so quick! Are you worried I'll get carried away by a tiger?"
Wei Xiao also joked, "With your luck, you could say it's good or bad. You're always rolling down the hillside while picking mushrooms, so what's so strange about encountering a tiger?"
Lin Qinghuan chuckled and said, "Tigers really did appear in Baiyun Village before, but they're nowhere to be seen now. I don't know where they've gone. But there are wild boars."
Wei Xiao was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect that a tiger would actually appear in Baiyun Village, which really surprised him.
"A tiger really did appear in your village!"
Seeing Wei Xiao's surprised expression, Lin Qinghuan laughed and said, "Our village has so many mountains, and they're high up, covered in lush trees. What's so strange about having tigers there?"
Wei Xiao recalled Lin Qinghuan going up the mountain alone to gather herbs and said with lingering fear, "You went up the mountain alone to gather herbs, weren't you afraid of running into a tiger?"
“Most families in our village have gunpowder guns, so we’re not afraid of tigers. Besides, I’m just on the outskirts, so I usually don’t encounter any wild animals,” Lin Qinghuan said with a smile.
"Does your village have gunpowder guns?" Wei Xiao asked.
Lin Qinghuan said with pride, "Back then, when we fought the Japanese devils and bandits, how could we protect our country without guns? Eight out of ten households in our village had gunpowder guns, and my family had one too. When I was a child, my dad even taught me how to shoot."
Wei Xiao said, "We may forcibly confiscate firearms in the future."
Lin Qinghuan said indifferently, "Let them take it back! Anyway, the Japanese devils have been driven away and it's peaceful now. It's not of much use for us ordinary people to have guns. But my dad will probably be heartbroken. He treasures that gunpowder gun."
Wei Xiao's face showed understanding. The older generation treasured guns, and he could understand Lin's father's feelings.
Lin Qinghuan said proudly, "Don't underestimate my grandfather. He used to be a hero who took up a gun and fought against the Japanese devils and bandits. Otherwise, he wouldn't have captivated my grandmother and made a rich young lady marry him."
Lin Qinghuan leaned closer to Wei Xiao and whispered, "My grandma left me a treasure. When I grow up, she'll give it to me so I'll never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of my life."
Wei Xiao sighed, "Now I finally understand why your brother and sister hate you so much."
Lin Qinghuan is incredibly wealthy, while Lin Qing and Lin Piaoxue can't get a single penny. It's hard not to hate Lin Qinghuan. If Lin Qinghuan dies, they can even get a share of her wealth.
Lin Qinghuan frowned and said, "My dad only told me this yesterday at the hospital. Only my uncle and my dad know. Even my mom and aunt don't know. My three brothers and Lin Piaoxue don't know anything about this either. There's no reason or cause for them to hate me or dislike me."
Wei Xiao patted Lin Qinghuan's head and comforted her, "It's okay, they don't like you, but I like you."
“From now on, all my money will go to our children, and they can divide it equally,” Lin Qinghuan said wisely.
Wei Xiao couldn't help but laugh. Qin Zhen's mother looked down on Lin Qinghuan because of her poor family background, but she didn't know that because of her disdain, she missed out on a golden opportunity.
Moreover, it seems that Qin Zhen has fallen for Qing Huan. I wonder if he will regret rejecting Lin Qing Huan after seeing how outstanding she is.
