Abandoning my husband and son, I raised my six daughters to live happily

"Sister-in-law, you also discovered this ginseng on the mountain yourself?"

This is the second time I have been called sister-in-law.

Isn’t it because she often does farm work that her face is a little tanned, and her skin is a little rough because she doesn’t take care of it?

But the person in front of me looks to be in her 50s or [-]s, older than her. Is it really okay to call her that?

Meng Suisui said politely, "I found it myself on the mountain. You can just call me by name. My name is Meng Suisui."

The two chatted for a while, and soon the boy who was sent out to call for help helped an old man with a white beard come in.

The old man was leaning on a cane, and he pulled his neck and shouted when he entered the door.

"Why do you have to ask me to take a trip to see something so good? You little brat, you're trying to hide it from me and won't let me tell you what it is. Isn't it itchy?"

The boss quickly stood up to greet him, and obediently helped the old man walk inside, smiling in response.

"Don't worry, I just want to give you a surprise." He brought the old man to the table, drew a picture on the ginseng on the table like a treasure, and said, "Look what this is?"

The old man's eyes suddenly straightened, he threw away the walking stick excitedly, bent down and took a magnifying glass to look at it carefully.

"This ginseng tree is twice as big as the ones I've seen before! It's so rare and rare. The root system is also very well preserved, and every fiber is intact."

As expected of a grandfather and grandson, Meng Suisui saw the old man's exaggerated reaction and immediately understood what the boss had just done.

The two had a heated discussion, and Meng Suisui spoke at the right time.

"How much do you two think my ginseng tree is worth?"

The old man touched his beard and said, "It's worth at least 1000 yuan."

Get rich!

Meng Suisui was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

She nodded and said, "I understand, will you accept it here?"

The boss shook his head and expressed regret.

"I want to collect it, but we just put in a lot of goods and can't afford that much money at the moment. If you can extend it for two or three days, I should be able to collect it by raising the money."

Meng Suisui was thinking in her mind that in a week she would give Liu Zhu more than 400 yuan in one breath. Someone would definitely be suspicious of the source of her money. This ginseng could just help her earn money in space. The money you get will go a long way.

Some people might not believe her when she said she had picked a large ginseng in the mountains. She had to spread the news this time when she went back, and someone had to see the ginseng with their own eyes.

Meng Suisui said to the boss: "It just so happens that I am not going to sell it right away. I will come to town in five days to sell it. If you still want it by then, I will give it to you first."

She knew people very well. The grandfather in front of her looked like an upright and stubborn old man. Her grandson was cheerful and generous. She would not suffer any loss when selling ginseng to them.

Before she left, the boss kindly gave her a box containing ginseng and told her to keep it properly to avoid damaging the roots and affecting the price.

After coming out of the drugstore, Meng Suisui patted her trouser pockets that were bulging from the money and felt comfortable.

There were some wild vegetables and mushrooms left in her basket, so she set up a stall at the entrance of the market and it was almost noon when they sold out.

She looked at the 1.8 yuan she had just earned from selling wild vegetables and mushrooms in her hand, and almost burst into tears.

She and her daughters, a total of seven people, spent a long time picking them, and she squatted under the sun all morning to sell them. They were almost melted by the sun, but they only made such a small amount of money.

This shows how difficult it is for rural people to make money through hard work in this era.

When she is able, she must help these hard-working and honest people.

She returned to the market with her newly earned money.

Although the current system has limited functions, it is still very easy to collect 400 yuan through the system. Since the money is enough, she does not want to treat her daughters harshly.

There are many things she wants to buy, but she is afraid that she can only pick up the important ones when she takes them back.

First I bought enough food for a week.

The children had not eaten meat for a long time, so she bought two chickens and a piece of pork belly.

Her ex-husband always quarreled and broke things, and the pots and pans at home were all in pieces. Seeing that it affected her appetite, she simply bought a new batch and replaced all the previous ones.

The rest are some small odds and ends, trough cakes, candy cubes, and various condiments.

Soon the basket was full.

She looked at the packed backpacks and thought that she would have to buy other things next time.

Prices are low these days, so she spent less than 20 yuan in total on these things.

Before leaving the market, she bought another 10 kilograms of sugar and put it in the space. She planned to come to town every other day. These ten kilograms of sugar were just enough for trading tomorrow.

The heavy weight of the backpack made my shoulders feel sore, but at this moment, I felt that the backpack on my body was very secure.

After working hard all morning, my stomach was growling with hunger.

She touched her belly, thinking that Meng Yufan must be hungry by now.

She passed by a steamed bun shop and bought six large steamed buns, eating them while walking to the agreed meeting point.

The meeting place was very close to the market. After walking a few steps, she saw Meng Yufan leaning against a big tree to enjoy the coolness.

Meng Yufan walked over quickly and sighed helplessly when he saw her holding a big bun and chewing it.

The moment the heavy backpack was removed, Meng Suisui felt her breathing became easier.

She didn't expect that her brother would still be willing to help her carry her things, and she was immediately touched.

Meng Yufan put the backpack on his back and asked with a frown: "What did you buy? Why is it so heavy?"

She stuffed the last bite of the bun into her mouth and answered honestly: "I bought grain, seasonings, pots and pans, meat, and..."

Before he could finish his words, he was directly interrupted by Meng Yufan. He pointed his finger on the ground and said with hatred.

"Meng Suisui, are you serious? How long has it been and you are still thinking about eating meat? Do you know that if you can't save so much money in such a short time, you will break the pot? If you knew this, why did you agree to that yesterday? You bastard? I really don’t understand what you’re thinking!”

Meng Yufan's face turned red, and he could tell that he was really angry.

Just as Meng Suisui was about to persuade, Meng Yufan suddenly reacted and asked her with wide eyes.

"Where did you get the money to buy so many things?"

"Herbs sold for 25."

"What herbal medicine can be sold for 25?"

Meng Yufan knew that Houshan was rich in resources, but he had heard of people in the village who had gone up the mountain over the years. He had heard that good luck could be sold for a few dollars, but he had never heard of anyone picking herbs that could be sold for dozens of dollars.

Meng Suisui's image in his heart was already full of bad things, and now he couldn't help but think about the worst.

"Sister, have you stolen something from someone else's house?"

Meng Suisui was helpless. It was all because of her previous bad conduct that no one dared to believe her now.

Meng Yufan misunderstood Meng Suisui's reaction as admitting, and suddenly became furious.

"We couldn't bear to do anything to you when you stole things from home, but we didn't expect that you actually stole things from home and stole them from others. If we let you go, will others let you go?"

He was so angry that he grabbed Meng Suisui's wrist and said, "Come on, follow me to redeem the things you stole, and then go apologize to the owner who lost them and see if they are willing to let you go!"

Meng Yufan had a bad attitude and his tone was urgent, but Meng Suisui could still feel Meng Yufan's worry about her under his irritable mood.

She hastened to explain.

"Yufan, I didn't steal anything. I actually picked herbs and bought them for 25 yuan. If you don't believe me, ask the drugstore owner."

Meng Yufan's chest rose and fell violently, and he frowned as he looked at her.

"Is what you said true?"

"Really, I promise."

Seeing Meng Yufan's softened tone, Meng Suisui thought he believed him, and was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard what the other person said.

"Which pharmacy did you sell to? Take me there."

What? Actually want to go?

Shouldn’t the average person just believe it when they hear someone say that?

Meng Yufan didn't play according to the routine, which showed how much the other party didn't trust her as a sister.
