A poor peasant girl: Farming with a baby and abusing her husband

The days go by very quickly, and it’s almost the eighth month of the lunar calendar in a blink of an eye.

The Liu family was cleaning and tidying up and down, and decorating with lanterns and decorations. Because of an important thing: Mrs. Liu’s birthday will be held on August 16th of the lunar calendar.

This year is Mrs. Liu's eightieth birthday, and the whole family is eagerly looking forward to hosting a grand event. One is to celebrate the old lady's recovery from a serious illness, and the servants can also get many rewards at the banquet.

Liu Zhuo, as the current outstanding descendant of the Liu family and the eldest grandson of Mrs. Liu, is naturally the host of this banquet.

He was thinking exclusively about how to make his grandma happy at the banquet and fulfill his filial piety. When presenting the guest list for this banquet to the old lady, the old lady for the first time remembered Yan Shu and her daughter who came to visit her last time.

"Zhuo'er, why didn't you invite Mrs. Wen who came to the house last time? She is kind to us, and she came to visit me again last time, so we should invite her."

"Although our Liu family has friends with powerful people, when we are in trouble, there are a few who can help like the Wen family's wife. You see, she treats people and things with dignity. We cannot underestimate their mother and daughter. Treat each other well, just in case there is something we can do to help you in the future."

"Grandma is absolutely right. I will send someone to deliver the letter this afternoon. I hope grandma's birthday will be a complete success and perfect."

Liu Zhuo was very happy in his heart. Although he had planned to invite Yan Shu and his daughter before this, he felt that it was inappropriate for him to bring it up hastily. As a result, grandma still remembered it and brought it up by the way, so it was justifiable. He immediately sent the boy who was close to him in the room to Huaishu Village to deliver a message to Wen Yanshu.

Yan Shu felt a little uneasy when she learned that the Liu family invited them to the banquet. Yaya was so happy that she danced for joy.

"A wealthy family is used to seeing gold, silver, silk, silk and satin. I don't know what gift to give to Mrs. Liu on her birthday."

"Whether it's ancient times or modern times. Rich and powerful people never lack vulgar things. What they lack are natural and primitive good things. You can't go to the market to buy things. It seems you still have to go up the mountain to look for them." Yan Shu already had some ideas in her mind, she just needed to try her luck on the ground.

The next day Yan Shu got up early, packed up and took Yaya up the mountain.

It has been a while since I last went up the mountain. Yan Shu slowly searched along the overgrown path, and Yaya followed behind her without making a sound. Egg Yolk followed Yaya and sniffed here and there, happily guarding the little master in front of her.

Yaya's favorite thing is to follow her mother up the mountain to look for game. This time her mother prepared a generous gift for Grandma Liu's birthday. She knew she couldn't cause trouble to her mother before she found something good.

The bright sunshine shines in the jungle, and the cries of partridges echo in the silent valley. Yan Shu's thin face was staring at the grass covered with thorns with her eyes. Sometimes she would tap it with a wooden stick, and sometimes she would pry open the rotten pine leaves with her hands to take a closer look.

Today, Yan Shu turned a blind eye to the fresh mushrooms and sweet wild fruits. There were beads of sweat on her and Yaya's faces due to the constant walking.

"Is there something wrong with my memory? The altitude of Jiazi Mountain is estimated to be more than a thousand meters, and there are a lot of dense pine trees. The ancients may not have known their use, so it is impossible that there is no such good thing." Yan Shu muttered in her heart. For a while, I could only continue walking up the mountain, hoping to try my luck on a higher slope.

Although the sun was shining brightly, the mother and daughter who traveled through the dense forest did not feel too hot. Instead, they felt a chill in the forest. Yan Shu walked to a forest at a higher place. There was a thick layer of rotten leaves under her feet, giving people a fertile and soft feeling. Yan Shu decided to explore here carefully.

She arranged for Yaya to sit down on a big old and crooked tree trunk, so that the child could rest peacefully, and the egg yolk wisely guarded Yaya's feet, and then she prepared to search for it on this piece of humus soil. Ichiban.

Just as she was brushing off the dead leaves on her body, she looked up and saw a red fruit plant swaying in the wind a few meters ahead.

Taking a closer look, this grass is about 70 to 80 centimeters tall. The leaves are clustered at the top of the stem, distributed in a ring shape, and small red fruits grow in the middle. Yan Shu got closer and counted them carefully. Sure enough, there were seven leaves. She felt happy immediately. Although it was not as good as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, it was still a good Chinese medicinal material. Even in modern times, it was a precious Chinese medicinal material.

"So this is the horse chestnut! It's the magic antidote." Yan Shu quickly dug up the horse chestnut and put it in the linen pocket that she carried. After struggling all morning, I finally got something.

"Mom, what did you find? I want to come over and take a look."

At this time, Egg Yolk suddenly barked. Yan Shu couldn't help but look back at Yaya and the others.

"Yaya, don't move! Don't move!"

Yan Shu's heart rose to her throat. They had just focused on the medicinal materials and did not realize that danger was already approaching them.

On the other side of the tree trunk where Yaya was sitting, a big black-ringed snake was spitting out disgusting words to greet Yaya. Since Yan Shu was several meters away from Yaya, at this critical moment, the only way to get away from danger the fastest was to let Yaya leave the tree trunk.

Apparently Yaya hadn't realized the danger yet. Yan Shu was about to run over, but Egg Yolk took the lead.

I saw Egg Yolk grinning and rushing towards the other end of the tree trunk, screaming wildly at the big snake, with a posture that would make you dare to try it again.

Yaya looked in the direction of the egg yolk and realized why her mother told her to stop moving. But the big krait in front of her had frightened Yaya so much that she couldn't move and could only scream "Ahhhhh".

Although Egg Yolk is still a puppy, he has been eating well, sleeping soundly, and has become much stronger recently.

The big snake didn't seem to buy the egg yolk, so it paused for a moment and then moved forward slowly. This made Egg Yolk so angry that he rushed over and bit the krait's tail and ran away from him. With a crash, a piece of dry bark was torn off, and the big snake was dragged upside down by the egg yolk and submerged in the grass not far away.

Yan Shu quickly picked up Yaya and walked to the ground, calling for Egg Yolk.

"Egg Yolk, Egg Yolk, where are you, come back quickly!"

"Mom, what should I do if the egg yolk hasn't come back yet? Is it in danger?"

"Don't worry, Yaya. Don't move here. Mom, go ahead and take a look and help Egg Yolk." After saying that, he rushed towards the patch of grass where Egg Yolk disappeared just now with a wooden stick in hand.

Yan Shu called for Egg Yolk while pulling at the tangled grass vines with a stick. After calling several times, there was no sound, and Yan Shu began to feel a little worried. After all, she had raised the egg yolk for so long, and today she had to risk fighting a snake to save people. If something happened, she and Yaya couldn't bear it.

"Woof woof", just as Yan Shu was feeling anxious, the egg yolk rushed to Yan Shu's feet.

The hanging hearts of the mother and daughter finally fell to the ground. Uneasy, Yan Shu picked up Egg Yolk and checked her whole body again. She felt relieved after confirming that there were no wounds or blood stains. There was no trace of the big ring-shaped snake, perhaps it had been scared away long ago.

After putting down the egg yolk, Yan Shu was about to pick up the wooden stick, only to find that the stick was entangled in a bunch of tangled vines. Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a vine of Polygonum multiflorum.

"It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. The good things you are looking for are actually placed at your feet."

This time, Yan Shu carried Yaya back and asked Egg Yolk and Yaya to stay with her before she continued digging.

Following the dense vines, Yan Shu found the main root of Polygonum multiflorum. This Polygonum multiflorum is estimated to be tens to hundreds of years old, and its rhizome is very strong. Yan Shu dug with a shovel for half an hour but only reached half the depth. Yaya and Egg Yolk beside them were anxiously helping Yan Shu dig the soil with their hands and feet. Everyone worked together for another half an hour to finally pull out the huge Polygonum multiflorum.

"Mom, look! It looks like a little person without clothes."

Yan Shu was amused by Yaya's words, and immediately spread knowledge to Yaya.

"This is called Polygonum multiflorum in human form. It will take at least tens to hundreds of years to grow into this shape. It has very good medicinal value. When you grow up, you will understand what your mother said." Yaya seemed to understand but not understand. Nodding, Egg Yolk also tilted his head and listened carefully.

"Okay, let's pack up and get ready to go down the mountain. Today's harvest is not small. Later, mother will pick up some mushrooms and some fruits to go home."

The two people and the dog walked happily down the mountain. When she walked to a mountain spring to drink water, Yan Shu accidentally discovered an orchid in the crevice of the cliff. The breeze blew by, and its graceful grace made it appear noble and elegant. Yan Shu gently used a shovel to remove the orchid and the surrounding soil, carefully wrapped the root with large blades of grass and put it in her pocket.

After a whole morning of hard work, Mrs. Liu's birthday gift finally came together.
