Chapter 4 Looking for Wild Vegetables

The outskirts of the mountain seemed a bit barren, and most of the edible wild vegetables on the ground had been dug up by the villagers. The slopes looked full of potholes.

"Mom, I'm here to dig wild vegetables. You rest against the big tree. It's getting late. We won't go up the mountain. It's dangerous here."

Jiang Yan looked at the quiet forest not far away. When the sky darkened, it looked even more eerie and scary. Seeing that the two of them were looking for wild vegetables, she also walked around.

[Lao Tie! Found the natural wild ash amaranth! 】

[Natural wild ash weed, six cents per pound!]

Looking along the picture in her mind, Jiang Yan saw a piece of gray weed, which is a common gray vegetable. You cannot eat too much of this vegetable. If you eat too much, your skin will turn red and your body will tingle, so no one in the village will eat it.

.

She didn't expect that this gray vegetable also had medicinal value, and it was now very developed.

Jiang Yan was squatting on the edge of the field picking vegetables with a smile on her face, when a sharp voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"That shameless bitch is stealing my food!!"

The gradually darkening sky affected his vision. When someone walked in and took a look, he said, "Oh! It turns out to be Aunt Jiang from the Lin family!"

Ms. Liu pinched her waist and shouted extra loudly. She and Jiang Yan had disliked each other since they were young and often had fights. However, she had never been able to fuck each other, and today she finally found an excuse.

"Shameless old scoundrel, doing sneaky things all day long,"

When she spoke, Lin Nan, who was not far away, also looked over.

The several pieces of land at the foot of the mountain belong to the Liu family, and Jiang Yan is now standing on the edge of her field.

"Aunt Jiang, your face is probably thicker than the adobe wall of my house. If you steal food today, will you steal people tomorrow?"

"It just so happens that you are a widow, which is convenient..."

Jiang Yan's head is covered with black lines.

It's okay to be yelled at by a woman who looks several years older than her, but she keeps slandering her.

She threw the gray vegetables in her hand on the ground and said in a cold voice: "Hey! Sister-in-law Liu doesn't even recognize gray vegetables? Or do you mean that all your family grows gray vegetables?"

Mrs. Liu now saw clearly that all Jiang Yan was holding were gray vegetables.

The taste of gray vegetables is not good. If you eat too much, your whole body will sting. People in the village have always thought that this vegetable is poisonous. Let alone eating it, even poultry will not be eaten. If the family is not about to starve to death,

, no one would think of eating this kind of food to satisfy their hunger.

Mrs. Liu knew that she was wrong, but she was very stubborn. She scolded her with her hands in her waist: "These gray vegetables are inedible. I have been watching you walking back and forth in my field from a distance. Who knows if you want to dig them secretly?"

My food.”

Jiang Yan sighed. She didn't know where this old sister-in-law got her confidence. She couldn't stand the few lonely lettuces in her field.

"Sister-in-law Liu got it wrong. It's not because the family really doesn't have any extra food, so she just digs some vegetables to satisfy her hunger. As long as she doesn't eat too much, she won't die anyway."

"If Mrs. Liu has extra food at home, why not lend it to our family and I will return it to you after the autumn harvest. It will also save me a day of looking for wild vegetables on the ridge of your field..."

She looked tired and panting, the wounds on her head were obvious, and her dirty and messy look made her look a little pitiful.

Mrs. Liu's eyes almost popped out of her head in shock. Aunt Jiang, who had always been against her and wanted to strangle her to death, actually dropped her attitude and asked her to borrow food!

"Bah! Borrow food! Don't say I don't have any extra. Even if I do, I can't lend it to you!"

After saying that, she turned around and left. She even thought that Sister-in-law Jiang had lost her brain today and wanted to borrow food from her. Go to hell!

When Jiang Yan saw that the people were gone, she picked up all the vegetables on the ground, squatted on the ridge of the field, and continued to pull the gray vegetables.

After a while, she stopped. Sweat beads rolled down her forehead, and she could even feel the sticky sweat on her chest and back.

The original body has always been lazy, and her body is very weak. She feels tired even after moving a few times.

Jiang Yan looked at the gray vegetables she dug up, more than three kilograms, and more than half a kilogram of plantains. She looked at Lin Nan and Liu Xiaomeng in the distance to make sure no one saw them before selling them.

Three kilograms of gray vegetables yielded 18 cents, and half a kilogram of plantain yielded 3 cents. The total harvest was 21 cents, and the points became 2.3 points.

"Second brother! Xiaomeng, it's getting late, let's go home."

She shouted loudly and stood up. Suddenly her head became dizzy and her eyesight became dark. It took a long time to recover.

When I started to touch it, I remembered that I had hit my head and the wound had not been treated. It seemed that there was another reason for the wound besides low blood sugar.

In ancient times, minor injuries and illnesses could be fatal. If you accidentally contracted tetanus due to infection, your life would be in danger.

She could only buy anti-inflammatory medicine at the plane mall for 16 Wen. She originally wanted to buy some disinfectant, but it also cost 16 Wen and she had no money.

After bending down and digging for a long time, Jiang Yan only had five cents left, and Jiang Yan didn't dare to spend it carelessly.

She hammered her sore old arms and legs, and Lin Nan brought Liu Xiaomeng over. One of them carried a bundle of firewood, and the other carried half a box of wild vegetables.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"No, go home."

Lin Nan nodded and followed Jiang Yan. As soon as the three of them reached the door of the house, they heard lively voices coming from the house.

"Brother, my second brother is getting married today. Shouldn't our family also set up a few tables to invite the villagers to eat?"

"Mom has no money, and even if she had, she wouldn't give a banquet to my second brother."

"It's just that my mother doesn't like my second sister-in-law."

"Anyway, the second brother likes it. When the second brother makes money later, we can also hold a banquet."

“…”

Jiang Yan walked into the courtyard and saw everyone gathered around the simple table that couldn't bear to be looked at.

She originally had five sons. The eldest son, Lin Dong, is nineteen years old this year. When he just turned sixteen, he married a daughter-in-law, Wang Jinhua, who is the same age as her. At the end of the year, the two gave birth to a son - Xiao

Douzi is the backbone of this family.

The second son, Lin Nan, is sixteen years old this year and is the more assertive of the sons. He didn't like the wife the original body had arranged for him, so he tried to find a way to convince the original body, and now he got his wish. It is precisely because of this.

She is more filial to Jiang Yan now.

The third son, Lin Xi, is fifteen years old this year. He is the strongest among the sons and looks stronger than the others.

The fourth son, Lin Bei, is twelve years old this year and is the smartest. He is the opposite extreme from the third son. He is so thin that he is just skin and bones. He looks like he will die soon and he looks much younger than his actual grade.

The youngest son, Lin Feng, was only eight years old and was very skinny. What was even more pitiful was that he had a high fever when he was a child, which burned out his brain. It was precisely because of this that the original person hated him very much and would beat or scold him, resulting in

The little guy is often frightened and hides when he sees his original form.

As soon as Jiang Yan entered the door, the talking stopped suddenly, and everyone looked at her subconsciously, especially the fifth child, who quietly hid behind the fourth child.

Lin Dong: "Mom, you are back."

Lin Xi: "Mom, I have already picked up the water."

Lin Bei: "Mom, I also came back after chopping firewood."

Lin Feng: "Mother..."
