Quickly wear the boss and don’t be cannon fodder

The original owner was like an old ox at home, eating the worst food and wearing the worst clothes. But this Hu Lianhua was not favored at home, but the ones who suffered were her younger brothers and sisters.

She went to the countryside simply because she was the only one in the family who reached an age. Her brother was married, and her younger brothers and sisters were not yet of age. She didn't have a job, and her family was being watched, so she had to go to the countryside.

Now, when I saw Su Yan in the family building with an invisible person, I could hardly recognize her because her face was rosy and her clothes were better than when she was in the city.

Seeing that Su Yan ignored her, she said in a familiar tone, "Is your mother willing to mail you money? It seems that you are living well in the countryside."

When Wu Xia, who was standing by, heard this, she immediately looked at Su Yan with suspicion.

Could it be that Su Yan is not actually having a good time in the Su family?

She thought again of Su Yan's shabby clothes on the train and his pitiful appearance as he had been hungry for two days and had nothing to eat.

Is Su Yan rich or poor?

If she had no money originally but is rich now, where did her money come from?

Before Wu Xia could think about it, she heard Su Yan's voice.

Su Yan said coldly: "Why are you here? Were you forced to go to the countryside by your mother? Doesn't your mother love you very much?"

Hu Lianhua was choked by Su Yan's words and quickly retorted: "No, it's not like that. I'm old enough and I'm the only one in my family who can go to the countryside. I'm responding to the country's call to support construction in the countryside."

"Then do your best and don't embarrass your parents."

"You don't have to say that."

Hu Lianhua wanted to say a few more words to Su Yan, but at this time everyone had arrived and Uncle Li was about to drive the ox cart back to the village.

This time, Hu Lianhua was assigned to the next production team. She knew that Su Yan was in the third production team, and said that he would come to play with her after he settled down.

Su Yan said a few perfunctory words, but Wu Xia on the side looked at her thoughtfully.

She always felt that Su Yan was hiding something from everyone.

Su Yan naturally also saw Wu Xia's gaze. She knew in her heart that it would be no use trying to deny it, and she had to do something to dispel others' suspicion.

When we returned to the educated youth center, Gu Wenwen was picking vegetables in the yard, and Song Chengjun had not returned from work yet.

Since Gu Wenwen and Song Chengjun got married, Gu Wenwen also started cooking, and her cooking skills are definitely much better than before.

The people at the educated youth site were still a little surprised. They could only sigh that marriage makes people progress. Even a delicate lady like Gu Wenwen, who never cooked, started to cook. It was estimated that before long, she would become a shrew like the women in the village, for the sake of her children and life.

Su Yan knew that Gu Wenwen could cook because she was reborn.

Others thought that she cooked, which was just bowing to reality.

Su Yan did not rest at noon, she started to go up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs.

When the horn sounded for work in the afternoon, Liu Hongjun and Lu Changqing both saw medicinal herbs drying in Su Yan's small yard, and they were a little surprised.

By the way, I asked her what she was doing.

Su Yan pretended to be embarrassed and said to them: "I know a little about medicinal herbs. I just happened to go to the mountain to pick them up, dry them in the sun, and sell them to the purchasing station to supplement my living expenses."

The two of them asked her in detail what medicinal herbs she had collected and how much she could sell them for per pound.

Su Yan even pulled the two of them over and whispered to them how much each medicinal herb cost, and specifically told them not to tell anyone else.

Generally speaking, if you ask them not to tell others, then everyone will know about it.

Sure enough, when Su Yan came back from work in the afternoon, someone came to ask where he could pick these herbs and whether he could take them with him next time he went up the mountain.

Su Yan said with embarrassment: "The areas I've been to are all gone, and there are many places I don't dare to go to. Why don't you go look for them on your own?"

These people thought that she didn't want to tell them the exact location and didn't want them to steal her herbs, so they thought she was cunning.

Wu Xia had already suspected Su Yan, but then she heard from Liu Hongjun and Lu Changqing that Su Yan lived a comfortable life by collecting medicinal herbs and selling them to purchasing stations.

Wu Xia also thought about going to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs. Now she has no financial support from her family, and she has to budget even to buy a needle. She really doesn't want to live such a hard life.

Others could buy food to fill their stomachs in private, but she didn't dare to spend money carelessly, for fear that when she really needed money, she wouldn't be able to take out even a dollar or two, which would be so embarrassing.

The next day, she paid special attention to Su Yan. When she saw Su Yan going out with a backpack, she hurriedly followed him with the basket.

Wu Xia: "Su Yan, are you going up the mountain? I just happen to want to pick some mountain products."

Wu Xia insisted on following, and Su Yan couldn't chase her away.

If she wants to follow, then let her follow. This was also the original purpose of her going up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs.

Wu Xia followed Su Yan and soon found a piece of Fangfeng, which is a traditional Chinese medicine for treating cold, rheumatism and wind-heat.

Su Yan did not hide anything and told Wu Xia the purpose of this medicine.

Wu Xia was overjoyed and picked a lot of them too. The two of them almost picked all the nearby windbreaks.

Su Yan’s backpack was full of them, and then he said, “That’s enough for today, we have to go to work in the afternoon.”

Wu Xia followed him back contentedly.

She originally wanted to go find Su Yan the next day, but she found out that Su Yan had already collected a lot of medicinal herbs and would take them to a purchasing station to sell them after drying them.

Since Su Yan doesn't go to the mountain, Wu Xia can go and ask the barefoot Chinese medicine practitioner in the village, and ask her what herbs are easy to pick in the mountain.

The old Chinese doctor also told her about several common medicinal herbs. Wu Xia wrote down their characteristics and habits on a piece of paper and went up the mountain alone to collect herbs.

On the next day off, Wu Xia came early in the morning to ask Su Yan to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Su Yan naturally knew why she was so enthusiastic.

The two went to the purchasing station together, and Su Yan picked more medicinal herbs than Wu Xia had imagined.

I thought she only picked two or three things, but it turned out there were Gastrodia elata, Saposhnikovia divaricata, Licorice, Wild Angelica sinensis, Plantain, and even Dandelion, which is actually a traditional Chinese medicine. Wu Xia had never paid much attention to it before.

Su Yan sold the medicinal herbs for a total of fifteen yuan.

Wu Xia's eyes turned red. She never thought that Su Yan could make so much money just by selling medicinal herbs.

And seeing how familiar she was with the process and the way she was discussing the quality of the medicinal materials with the other party, it was obvious that she was very familiar with it and understood it very well.

The slight doubt in my heart was dispelled because Su Yan was selling medicinal herbs.

At the same time, she secretly made up her mind that she would collect more medicinal herbs in the future. She would definitely live a good life without relying on her family.

This time, Wu Xia sold her fangfeng and some honeysuckle she picked later for a total of three yuan.

Although it couldn't be compared with Su Yan's, it was also the money she earned through her own hard work, and she almost cried with joy.

Later, Wu Xia made several more appointments with Su Yan and asked her to go to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs together.

Su Yan said, "Farm work is getting busier and busier now. I don't have the energy. I'll go when I'm free. Don't exhaust yourself for this little money."

In her heart, Wu Xia was laughing at her for being pampered. She didn't want to spend the money she had. She said that this person was too lazy. She had a way to make money but didn't know how to cherish it.

What if the medicinal herbs are picked up by others in the future?

Wu Xia hated not having to go to work but going to collect herbs. Whenever she had free time, she wanted to run to the mountains.

Even the other people at the educated youth site became motivated after learning that Wu Xia earned three yuan from selling medicinal herbs.

Everyone wants to improve their life by collecting herbs. No one is rich these days, and if they don't find ways to make money, they will only get poorer and poorer.
