Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Chapter 23: Distress while collecting herbs

"Okay!" Aunt Liu knew that she had many clever ideas, so she stopped asking any more questions.

Qin Baoguo treated this matter unambiguously, and the few servants he sent were all honest people who could endure hardships.

Within three or four days, Liu Lide had already supplied the first batch of herbs.

Jiang Lianzhu counted the herbs he sent from beginning to end and found that there were still many missing items.

After all, these are grown in the Liu family's own land, and they have not discussed with her what to plant. They will definitely not be more suitable for their needs than the varieties planted on the piece of land they have purchased now.

Jiang Lianzhu planned to open the business in the next few days, so she carried the medicine basket and planned to go up the mountain without thinking too much.

"Mom, are you going to the mountains to collect medicine now?" Liao Xiaoping happened to be studying in the yard. He took some enlightenment books from the Liu family yesterday to study.

"Yes."

Jiang Lianzhu responded.

"Uncle Liu's supply of herbs is still low. If we don't go to the mountains to collect some, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the shop to open smoothly."

"How about I go with my mother!" Liao Xiaoping put down the book in his hand, his voice full of excitement.

He hasn't been out for a long time.

Today is an opportunity that I have been waiting for for a long time, and I absolutely cannot miss it.

"Row."

Jiang Lianzhu thought for a while before agreeing to him.

Since she was injured by a trap set by a hunter last time, she has specially learned how to identify it from several hunters in the village. She will definitely not make the same mistake as before when she goes up the mountain this time.

There are no wild animals in the mountains behind them during the day, so it is relatively safe to take Liao Xiaoping up the mountain.

She quickly found a smaller basket for Liao Xiaoping, and the two of them walked up the mountain behind one another.

Jiang Lianzhu waited until there was no one, and then took out her drone.

"Mom, what is this?"

Liao Xiaoping looked at the drone in her hand, her eyes bright.

He is well-known in the village for being good at playing, but he has never seen any toys that can be made so exquisitely.

"This is a tool that my mother got herself that can help us find herbal medicines. We can quickly find where the herbal medicines are."

Jiang Lianzhu quickly replied, tried to operate the drone, showed it to Liao Xiaoping, and told him how to use it.

Liao Xiaoping has extraordinary talent in learning these things, but a few experiments can replace Jiang Lianzhu's search for herbs all over the mountains and fields.

The trip up the mountain went smoothly for the two of them, and they found everything they needed within an hour.

Jiang Lianzhu took the drone back and prepared to go down the mountain with Liao Xiaoping.

Suddenly, a big man jumped out from the woods on both sides, holding a machete like the one used by bandits in his hand, with a dark look on his face.

"You're a pretty girl. If I sell you to Goulan, you'll definitely be worth a lot of money!"

"The same goes for that milk baby over there. The rich people in the capital like this... Tsk, look at the tender skin."

"What are you two talking about?"

Jiang Lianzhu put her herbal basket aside, twisted her wrist, and stared seriously at the two people in front of her.

She could clearly hear the obscene words coming out of their mouths, and layers of nausea were already rising in her heart.

"Didn't you hear what we just said? Didn't we say we planned to sell you to Goulan?"

One of the big men repeated the words again as if he was deliberately disgusting.

Liao Xiaoping couldn't bear it anymore. He immediately put the herbal basket aside and stood in front of Jiang Lianzhu.

"Don't even think about it, you two!"

"Don't worry. Adults have to deal with adult matters. Just stand aside, you little kid."

Jiang Lianzhu was a little funny and soft-hearted, so she pushed Liao Xiaoping aside.

"These two people are not as unsatisfactory as Zhao Er. They can be knocked down with one punch."

Liao Xiaoping suddenly remembered the time he punched Zhao Er and said nothing.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't waste any time talking to the two big men. She stepped forward and kicked them in the stomach.

One of them was a little smarter and grabbed her ankle, but Jiang Lianzhu was not a vegetarian at all. She spun in mid-air and punched the big man in the face.

"boom!"

There was a loud sound, and half of one of the big man's teeth was broken, and his mouth was filled with blood.

The other one didn't expect Jiang Lianzhu to be so good at fighting. He knocked one down in a few blows and tried to escape.

But Jiang Lianzhu didn't give him this chance at all, and kicked him on the tailbone when he turned around.

With a cry of pain, that one also fell directly to the ground.

"Mother, mother?"

Liao Xiaoping was almost dumbfounded. He didn't expect Jiang Lianzhu to have such ability.

"What's wrong, why are you still standing here? Hurry up and run away with your things!"

She could only subdue two of them in a short time. Her body's strength and endurance were still not enough to kill them directly.

Liao Xiaoping came to his senses immediately, picked up the medicine basket and rushed down the back mountain with Jiang Lianzhu.

"Mother, who did you think sent those two people just now? They must have known in advance that we were going to the mountain to collect medicine. Otherwise, how could they be waiting for us at that place?"

After Liao Xiaoping calmed down, he began to analyze.

My mother's business has been doing better and better recently, and she must have touched a lot of people's cakes, but I don't know who was so ruthless as to cause such trouble!

"I can't guess who it is, but it won't be long before...the person behind him will definitely make further moves."

Jiang Lianzhu answered casually, not taking today's matter to heart at all.

She is not afraid, and will not be afraid to continue doing business because of it.

Soldiers will come to block her, and water will come and earth will cover her. If she can't fight, there will be a modern weapons arsenal behind her to support her.

At worst, if a bomb is released and we all die, no one will be better off.

"But...if we don't figure this out now, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"

Liao Xiaoping felt that she had a big heart from the bottom of his heart, so he muttered.

"It's okay. Didn't you just see that they are no threat to my mother at all? Even if there are a few more, the result will be the same."

Jiang Lianzhu rubbed Liao Xiaoping's head to soothe his erratic emotions.

The two of them walked all the way back home. Just when they saw the yard, Jiang Lianzhu saw Liao Yunchuan's figure again, with some black lines appearing above his head.

She had just solved a problem on her front foot, so why did she get another uninvited guest on her back foot?
