After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Before dawn the next day, Xu Mengxiao cooked a large pot of white porridge over a slow fire. The rice grains were bubbling in the iron pot, and they all exploded, exuding a rich rice fragrance.

Compared with the clear water porridge made by the Lu family, the rice is rice and the water is water. I don’t know how much more delicious it is.

Lu Li was finishing two large bowls with satisfaction. Seeing that Lu He had a good appetite and his face had never been lighter, he became more and more pleased with Xu Mengxiao, the little fool's daughter-in-law who came in as a substitute.

"But why do I feel like something is wrong..." Lu Li was just about to think about it, when Lu Hai couldn't wait to wipe his mouth.

"Dad, let's go to town quickly and see what's going on with the Xu family!"

Lu Lizheng became serious and told Xu Mengxiao, "You take good care of Lu He at home, and we will come back as soon as we go."

Xu Mengxiao glanced at Lu He and happened to meet his eyes, and the two of them moved away as if nothing had happened.

He doesn't look like he needs much care.

After they left, Xu Mengxiao turned around and ran away. Lu He stood at the door and looked around, but saw no sign of her. He felt more and more that she was far from the little fool his father said.

He picked up the trap he had made yesterday and headed up the mountain without paying much attention.

At that time, Xu Mengxiao also went up the mountain carrying a basket.

There are two mountains in Yaoyu Village. For convenience of naming, they are called Zuoshan and Rightshan.

Youshan is a short mountain. The villagers usually go to this short mountain to collect firewood and cut pigweed. Xu Mengxiao picked the wire grass from near Youshan yesterday.

But there are too many people here. From time to time, villagers go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and bird eggs, but there is nothing left.

Xu Mengxiao went to Zuoshan, which is located to the east of Yaoyu Village. It has abundant sunshine and dense jungle. No one except hunters dares to go to this mountain.

Because this mountain is more majestic and steep, and there are many wild animals coming in and out of it.

But it is an important base for Xu Mengxiao to make a fortune. On the one hand, no one knows how many good things there are in this mountain, and on the other hand, it is relatively hidden, so few people should know what she is doing.

Xu Mengxiao didn't have enough physical strength, so she only walked around the foot of the mountain and found a lot of good things. Various colorful mushrooms were growing gratifyingly.

No wonder some people were active here but didn't dare to pick them. Even Xu Mengxiao had to be careful to identify them and picked up some plump green mushrooms and straw mushrooms. They were especially delicious when fried and cooked in soup.

Xu Mengxiao looked at the lush mountain top and walked up a little further. The ground was covered with the kind of wire grass collected outside. She casually grabbed a handful and stuffed it into a sack. Suddenly she found a trap set on the ground.

The exquisite wooden cage has several layers of mechanisms on it. As long as a wild animal passes by, if it accidentally touches it, it will be caught in a fatal place.

"Be careful!" A warning interrupted Xu Mengxiao's attempt to touch her before she could look up.

A familiar voice sounded from behind, "Why are you here?"

The visitor walked up to her and saw the things in her basket, and then remembered that she had mentioned this to her father this morning.

"There's nothing to eat at home. I'll pick some mushrooms." Xu Mengxiao lowered her head.

Lu He saw the herb she used yesterday again and frowned, "Don't run around, it's very dangerous here!"

Xu Mengxiao saw that the two traps left in his hand were different from the one she held. They seemed to be able to deal with larger prey.

Suddenly, he remembered that this person had promised the Lu family that he would pay back the money in as little as ten days and as much as half a month.

No wonder he, a sick man who has just recovered a little bit, has to come out to look for a living.

Xu Mengxiao put down the wooden cage and went down the mountain without saying a word. She planned to walk away and try to avoid him in the future.

Thinking of Lu Lizheng's instructions, he stopped again and waited on the winding path covered with grass.

Whether she intentionally or not, she borrowed Lu Lizheng's momentum and gained a moment of peace, but she was still very grateful.

Xu Mengxiao pulled some wire grass climbing on the ground. After waiting for a long time, no one came down. When he was hesitating whether to look for it or not, Lu He's figure appeared not far away.

From a distance, it looks like his steps are a little heavy and his figure is a little unstable.

Xu Mengxiao immediately ran over and held him up when he almost fell down, "Are you okay?"

Lu He sobered up for a while, covering his chest with one hand, his face turned pale, and it could be seen that when he saw her around, his expression became distant and guarded again.

Xu Mengxiao noticed it keenly and explained: "Uncle Li Zheng asked me to take good care of you..."

Before he finished speaking, he looked at him suspiciously, as if to say, you're just a little girl?

Feeling the height difference between herself and him, Xu Mengxiao was immediately unconvinced.

I thought she had a height of 1.7 meters before, but then she shrank to less than 1.6 meters!

People in ancient times were generally short, and it was not obvious when standing next to others, but this guy was so sickly and weak that he actually grew eight feet taller.

Visually, he was 1.85 meters tall and had a large frame. Xu Mengxiao held his hand and was about to feel for his pulse again.

Lu He pulled away his hand in time, "Thank you, I'm fine."

"You don't look like you're okay."

Lu He glanced at her one more time, but she was able to walk freely. Xu Mengxiao could only follow him from a distance to prevent anything from happening to him.

Lu He frowned and said nothing. After walking for a while, he found that the little figure suddenly disappeared.

Xu Mengxiao saw again the clerk from the medical hall who came to collect herbal medicine yesterday, and hurriedly weighed the wire grass he had picked.

At this time, many villagers gathered medicine and sold it. Knowing that the wire grass could be exchanged for money, some children also joined in.

"There are so many. We don't want them. You can find some other herbs, such as fenugreek, verbena, and fragrant grass."

A group of people were completely dumbfounded, and the floor was red? Verbena? Xiangzhi? What is this? They only recognize this wire grass and learned it from others, but now they don’t accept it anymore?

"Brother, we don't have much in total. This medicine is very effective. If we collect it this time, we will pick other medicines next time." Xu Mengxiao didn't want to get off to a bad start, although she didn't mean to sell it. These drugs make money.

"Okay, okay, it's just too much, I have to lower the price."

Although it is a bit regretful, everyone's hard work has not been in vain, and I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Mengxiao finally sold it for two cents. Some of the things the kid collected were even more, and some even sold for five cents.

Although it was the result of a whole day's work, they all earned the money themselves. I don't know how happy they were to be able to buy two or three eggs.

"Little fool, thanks to you just now!" A group of children, both big and small, shouted and ran away happily.

When the other villagers saw Xu Mengxiao and thought of what happened to the Lu family, they all whispered, "I'm afraid she will be detained as a maid in the Lu family!"

"Isn't it? The Xu family is too heartless to do such a thing."

"Let me tell you, Lu He is almost there, why do you have to marry such a good girl like Ruyi? She is just perfect for this little fool!" The aunt who spoke has always been thinking about Xu Ruyi's prosperous life as a husband, and she still thinks about it. Very happy to see it come to fruition.

But before she could continue, someone whispered, "Who is that?"

"That girl from the Xu family walked towards him, hiss, that's Lu He! He can actually get out of bed and walk around? Are you still waiting for Xu Mengxiao?"
