Chapter 10 Going Home

The two returned to where the ox cart was parked, and several aunties who had gone out together in the morning were already waiting there.

I only heard a short aunt ask Uncle Yang: "Are all these things really bought by Song Laoer and his friends?"

"Um"

"What kind of herbs do they make so much money from selling?"

"How should I know?"

Another auntie: "The things on this mountain belong to everyone. How can we let them take them all to sell for medicine? Wait until they come back and let them tell us what herbs they are. We have to make money together."

"Yes! Yes!" We can't let them eat alone.

"Humph! You old ladies are really making people laugh. Old Zhou, your husband caught a pheasant in the mountains last week, why didn't you share it with everyone?" Uncle Yang said, looking at the shortest woman.

"My husband shot it himself, why should he share it?" Aunt Zhou retorted immediately.

"Yeah! Why should they share?" Uncle Yang sneered.

Seeing that they were about to argue, the fat lady comforted them, "We're not asking them to take out the herbs we found. We just want to share them. Herbs are valuable. The forest is so big, we can find them ourselves!"

"That's right, that's right," another person echoed.

They were so excited talking that they didn't notice Shen Xia and Song Ming who had walked up to them.

Shen Xia said: "Okay, let's stop arguing."

"Which medicinal herbs are valuable? I can tell you that the most valuable ones are ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, but you don't necessarily have to know how to get to the innermost part of those things."

"If we fail to find the medicinal materials and encounter danger, who will be responsible?"

When everyone heard that there was danger, they felt a little disappointed.

As everyone knows, the eldest son of the Song family is so good at hunting, but now he is injured in the mountains.

Everyone walks with a limp, and we don’t know if it will ever get better!

Everyone thought about it for a while, and Aunt Zhou asked: "Can we pick some ordinary herbs?"

"For ordinary herbs, drug stores basically have fixed suppliers, and the prices are cheap. Picking them also requires professional techniques, which is not easy for you to learn."

"What should we do then?" an aunt said disappointedly.

"Okay, don't think too much, get in the car and drive away," said Uncle Yang.

Everyone got on the bus together. Because there were fewer people out today, it wasn't too crowded even if Shen Xia and the others took up a wider seat.

Otherwise, if it were normal times, I would definitely be criticized.

Shen Xia looked at everyone's depressed expressions.

I also had a few hard days.

I understand why there are unruly people in remote and poor areas.

Because everyone has no money, people are always petty with each other, but if everyone had money, everyone would be much more open-minded.

After thinking about it, Fanhua Village has nice scenery, with green mountains and beautiful waters. If nothing unexpected happens, the industry can be developed outward, but it is still more comfortable to retire here.

It seems that if you want to live a comfortable retirement here and lead a wealthy life, you can't just focus on yourself.

Only when everyone has money can they live in peace.

He thought for a while in the carriage and said: "Don't be discouraged, although you are not good at making herbs, you can do other things. I can't guarantee anything for you now."

"But I already have some ideas in my mind, and I want to try them out myself first to see if they are feasible."

"Once it's ready, let everyone do it together."

"If I ask everyone to do it in advance and it doesn't work, then everyone's work will be in vain, and I will definitely feel uneasy."

Uncle Yang and the three aunts thought there was a chance.

It turns out that Shen Xia didn't want to teach everyone, but had other consolations.

Sparks instantly appeared in the eyes of the three aunts.

"The Song family is so lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you! Second daughter-in-law Song, I am the daughter-in-law of Liu Laogen in the village. Remember to remind your aunt when the time comes!" The fat aunt said immediately.

Aunt Zhou also hurriedly said: "Mrs. Song, I am Aunt Zhou who lives opposite your house. I am an aunt with a good memory. If nothing else, I am definitely efficient at work."

I thought to myself that Shen Xia was always timid in the Shen family before, but now that she is in the Song family, she has become so eloquent and smart, and even knows about medicinal herbs.

Another aunt saw Aunt Zhou and Aunt Liu trying to gain favor here so quickly, and was afraid that she would miss a good opportunity: "Mrs. Song, I'm Aunt Jiang. I live next door to your Song family. Our two families used to visit each other frequently."

"It's just that you moved far away later, so you didn't visit each other as often. Song Er, when you were a kid, did your aunt help you take a bath?"

After these words came out, Song Er looked embarrassed.

This can also bring people closer together.

Even if we move out of the old house, isn’t it still a village?

To put it bluntly, Old Man Song passed away, and he felt that there was not much benefit for them as an orphan and a widow, so he became too lazy to move around.

Of course, this is something you can only think about in your mind and don't need to talk about it openly.

For people from the same village, as long as the relationship is not excessive, it is better to dissolve than to form.

After all, humans are social animals.

Although Shen Xia had not started to make the cake she had painted for the three of them, they still believed it a little bit when they saw that Shen Xia could make the Song family have food to eat in just a few days.

Nice words came out like crazy along the way.

But Shen Xia knew that these three people were the kind of people who would not do anything without profit. If there was profit to be made, they would be willing to do anything. If there was no profit, they would be nothing.

This kind of person is easy to deal with. As long as you involve her with interests, she can always be used by you.

Everyone had said almost everything, and Shen Xia didn't say anything else.

We returned to the village at noon and they all got off at the village entrance.

"Uncle Yang, we have a lot of stuff, can you bring it home? We'll pay a little more." Shen Xia said politely to Uncle Yang.

"What's the problem? No need to pay extra, and it won't take long." Uncle Yang agreed but refused to take the money.

Once you enter the village, the road becomes narrower, only as wide as a bullock cart, so you have to hurry.

Otherwise you might fall into the ditch.

In a few minutes, we arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

After getting off the car, Song Ming said to the gate: "Mom, we are back."

Everyone came out, and Song's mother looked at the pile of things on the ox cart and said, "These are all bought by you."

"Well, Xia Xia's ginseng was sold, and I bought it."

"Oh my god, you're wasting money again, Xia Xia, you have money, just save it yourself." Originally, Shen Xia felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Song's mother say that she was wasting money, but in the end she wanted her to save some money herself.

The slight discomfort disappeared immediately, and I felt even more touched.

Song Jiang and Song Yu also came out, but Song Jiang's foot injury had not healed yet, so he couldn't move anything.

Song Ming's hand has not healed yet, so he can't move things.

The family is full of old, weak and sick people. Although we have arrived at the door,

But there is still some distance from the door to the kitchen.

Uncle Yang looked at the elderly, the weak and the sick in this family.

There are only two women, Shen Xia and Song's mother, and Song Yu is still a child.

Then he kindly helped the Song family carry the food to the kitchen.

Shen Xia wondered whether to invite Uncle Yang to have dinner at home.

But then I thought, my family must not have done anything.

Even though we bought the vegetables, it would definitely be too late to cook them now.

I had originally intended to give one bun to Uncle Yang, but when I arrived, the other aunts were there, so it would be inappropriate to give one to Uncle Yang alone.

So I had no choice but not to give it.

After the things are unloaded,

"Second brother, go and pour me a bowl of water."

"OK".
