Lu Gu didn't know that when he was on the mountain, Li Wanyun made delicious soft and sticky rice and brought it to Lao Zhang's room so she could chew it easily. After the cold winter, Lao Zhang lost her original spirit, she was getting more and more depressed, and now she could only lie on the bed.
"It's time to eat." Li Wanyun put the food on the table and said coldly.
However, when the old Lao Zhang on the bed heard the movement, she only opened his cloudy eyes, and let out a few unclear sounds from her throat weakly.
Li Wanyun was startled when she saw that Lao Zhang had lost the energy she had in the morning, she thought to herself, could it be that she was going to die?
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she was. Once Lao Zhang died, how could she, a widow, resist those conscientious relatives of the Zhang family? Even if she wanted to remarry, she couldn't do it during the three years of mourning. Now she didn't even have money in her hand.
She was not as cruel as Lao Zhang, as long as the old woman didn't provoke her, she wouldn't beat or scold her.
So far, she could only find a handful of silver coins in Lao Zhang's box and cabinet. Lao Zhang was also a cunning woman, and she didn't know where she put the house deed and land deed.
She didn't even know how her mind was going, so she immediately shook Lao Zhang and said, "Do you want to live?"
The word "live" made Lao Zhang's cloudy eyes become clear, but she didn't believe in Li Wanyun. She was injured and her health became bad. Her body was so weak that she couldn't even speak.
Li Wanyun's hands inside her long sleeves were trembling, and her voice was also trembling a little, because she didn't know what would happen to her if Lao Zhang died.
She thought for a while, then she said coldly: "I don't want to save you, but if you die, I won't be able to survive because of your good relatives. So let me tell you, the little money at home has been spent and almost gone, If you want to survive, you can only sell the land, later I will buy you ginseng so you can continue to live."
Ginseng!
When Lao Zhang heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, she didn't want to die.
The Chinese toon tree grew tall, and the buds started to come out. In fact, it would be better to wait until the buds grew a little more in one and a half months later, but Shen Xuanqing wanted to eat it now, so they went up the mountain to try their luck. If there were any, they would hook some down, enough to make a plate of stir fry dish to eat to their hearts' content.
The spring was still cold, especially on the mountain, and the cold wind could freeze them. Fortunately, they both wore thick clothes to resist the wind and cold.
Because the Chinese toon buds were too small at this moment, and few people came up to the mountain to pick them, they really got some and they could go back before dinner.
The smoke from the kitchen was rising, and most families in Qingxi Village were cooking at this time.
Lu Gu fried the Chinese toon with eggs for Shen Xuanqing, which was so fresh that even Ji Qiuyue, who had a poor appetite today, enjoyed it.
The wind came faintly, carrying a strong and bitter medicinal smell.
Lu Gu was drying chilli peppers while basking in the sun in the yard. There was not much chili powder left, so he covered his mouth and nose with a cloth to avoid choking, coughing and sneezing.
Shen Xuanqing was chopping firewood at the door of the woodshed.
"Wanyun is decocting medicine again." Lu Gu glanced over there and said.
"This medicine is really bitter." Shen Xuanqing replied smoothly.
The day before yesterday, when they were still hooking Chinese toon in the mountain, Li Wanyun ran to Lin Zhongcai's house in tears. She said that her mother in law was dying, and took the land deed to sell it for medicine. Because she was a woman, it was not easy to show up in public to discuss land sale with the men in the village, so it was right for her to go to Lin Zhongcai.
Selling land for medical treatment was very common in the countryside. Lin Zhongcai went to the Zhang family's house to have a look. When he saw that Lao Zhang was really dying, she reached out her hand and shouted medicine and medicine weakly. It could be seen that she really wanted to live, and she even pointed at the land deed in Li Wanyun's hand with trembling hands, everyone could see that she wanted to sell the land for medicine.
Saving someone's life was a big deal, Lin Zhongcai didn't dare to delay. He couldn't find a buyer in a short while, so he first lent Li Wanyun a tael of silver to buy the medicine.
Just after dinner that day, Lin Zhongcai came to their house to look for Shen Xuanqing, and asked if he wanted to buy the Zhang family's land. First of all, Shen Xuanqing told him before that he wanted to buy a few more acres of land. He knew that hunters were always richer than farmers, so he was sure that Shen Xuanqing could pay it cash and Li Wanyun could buy medicine for Lao Zhang. Moreover they were relatives, so if he had a good land, he would come to ask his relatives first, which could be regarded as taking care of the juniors.
Although Zhang Zhengzi was someone who was happy to partake but not prepared to do any work, his family's paddy fields and dry land were fertile lands. When his father was still around, he worked hard and earned his fortune. Later, his mother sold his sister for a good price and bought another good lands. There were a total of six acres of dry land and five acres of paddy fields. As long as the seeds were sown and the land was fertile, with a little care, it could produce a lot of rice a year.
