The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 156: An ulterior purpose

"Hey, tell me something, what's going on?" Seeing Lu Dashan ignoring him, Zhou Xiaohua followed closely behind him and asked.

Lu Dashan looked back at her and said, "It's not bad. I collected a lot of medicine. Doctor Wu collected some of it and took some to the town tomorrow to sell."

"How much are the medicinal materials sold?" Zhou Xiaohua asked eagerly, her eyes shining brightly.

Lu Dashan took a deep breath and responded: "Don't worry about it. It's getting late. Go and cook quickly."

After saying that, he walked towards the room where he slept.

"Lu Dashan, stop, why can't I take care of it? The money from the sale belongs to the family, and I have a share." Zhou Xiaohua chased after him reluctantly and shouted.

Zhou Xiaohua's entanglement made Lu Dashan suddenly turn around and glare at her, "Of course you have your share of the money. Why, do you want it?"

Zhou Xiaohua was glared at by Lu Dashan, she shrank her neck and shook her head subconsciously, "I'll just ask."

Today, Lu Dashan went to the mountains to collect medicine for the first time. In her hurry, she forgot that Lu Dashan did not allow her to ask about the family's money.

Lu Dashan looked at her expressionlessly, turned around and went back to the house.

In fact, when they first got married, he gave most of his money to Zhou Xiaohua and asked her to take care of the house.

It didn't take long for him to discover that Zhou Xiaohua spent money lavishly and only bought things for herself.He didn't say much, thinking it would be better if he had a child.As a result, after having a child, Zhou Xiaohua still spent most of her money on herself and never raised the child well.

So, later he held all the money in his hands and only gave Zhou Xiaohua some pocket money.

At first, Zhou Xiaohua made a big fuss. He scolded Zhou Xiaohua several times with a fierce look on his face, and almost moved his hands. Then Zhou Xiaohua gradually became afraid and stopped asking about money matters.

But Zhou Xiaohua couldn't adapt to the sudden drop in expenses, so she tried to steal money, but was caught and beaten by Lu Dashan before she stopped.

At this time, Zhou Xiaohua stared at Lu Dashan's back who turned around without hesitation, feeling extremely angry in her heart.

Wanting to make a fuss, but worried that Lu Dashan would do something, he could only curse and walk to the kitchen.

The next day, before dawn, Lu Dashan got up and made meatloaf with the little meat left.

He was an only son, and his parents died when he was 13 years old.From then on, everything at home and outside the house, including housework and cooking, was at your fingertips.

Over the years, he relied on his own efforts to build a new house, marry a wife, and live a good life.

After making the meat patties, Lu Dashan left three for Zhou Xiaohua and the children. He packed the rest and took them with him, walked outside Tang Mian's house, and knocked on her door.

"Brother Dashan." Tang Mian opened the door and shouted.

Lu Dashan nodded with a smile and handed over the meat pie wrapped in his hand, "Sister-in-law, I have to carry a basket and it's inconvenient to hold the pancake. Please take it and we'll eat it on the road later."

Tang Mian looked at the meat-scented cake in front of him and was stunned. "Brother Dashan, my mother made some steamed buns. You can take this cake back to the two children now."

"I have both children and Zhou Xiaohua, so you can eat with peace of mind. However, my craftsmanship may not be as good as my aunt." Before Tang Mian could finish her words, Lu Dashan interrupted her with a smile.

Tang Mian: "How is that possible! Brother Dashan, I have tried your craft once, and it is no worse than my mother's."

Lu Dashan smiled sheepishly, and Tang Mian stopped being pretentious and took the meat pie handed over by Lu Dashan.

As soon as Lu Dashan let go of his hands, he walked into the house and put on his backpack.Upon seeing this, Tang Mian said hello to Mr. Li, and then walked to the town with Lu Dashan.

The remaining medicinal materials were all sold to the only pharmacy in the town for a total of 120 taels.Lu Dashan is divided into 86%, which is [-] texts.

After selling the medicinal materials, the two bought some commonly used household items and meat in the town before heading back. "Brothers and sisters, are we still going this afternoon?" Lu Dashan hesitated for a while and asked on the way back to Qingyuan Village.

Tang Mian thought for a while and nodded, "Go. Let's go another way. Even if we pick less, we will always gain something."

"Hey, okay." Lu Dashan responded happily.

I earned more than 200 yuan in one day yesterday, which has never happened before.Even if he picked little in the afternoon, he would still have dozens of coins, so he would naturally be willing to go.

However, my younger siblings also said that this is only because the medicinal materials in the mountains are basically not harvested by others, so they have such an income.

Once they have almost finished harvesting, their income will drop sharply, and they will have to wait a year or more if they want to harvest more herbs.

It doesn't matter, he can just find another job when he can no longer collect the medicine.

After the two agreed, they hurried to Qingyuan Village.

After returning home, the two of them ate something at home, packed water and the steamed buns that Li made in the morning, put their baskets on their backs, and headed into the mountains again.

It was already noon when the two entered the mountain, and they did not have as much time as yesterday. When they came out of Qingzhu Mountain at [-]:[-] a.m., their backpacks were not full.

Lu Dashan was not disappointed, nor was he discouraged. Instead, he said with a smile: "Brothers and sisters, we have been collecting medicine for two days. Let's rest at home tomorrow."

After all, my brother and sister are still injured, so it would be better to rest after being tired for two days.

Tang Mian understood what Lu Dashan meant, shook his head and said: "Brother Dashan, if you have other things to do tomorrow, we will rest. Don't worry about me, my injury is fine."

Lu Dashan thought for a moment and nodded, "Then we will still go into the mountains to collect herbs tomorrow."

"Yeah." Tang Mian responded softly, and the two of them continued walking towards the village.

However, a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the village today.

Lu Dashan and Tang Mian thought that there was nothing to do recently, and everyone was resting at the entrance of the village.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chen stopped her and asked her to leave later.

Tang Mian looked at Mrs. Chen with confusion and asked, "Sister-in-law Chen, is something wrong?"

Mrs. Chen moved her mouth and looked at the people around her. Seeing that everyone around her was giving her looks, she mustered up the courage to clear her throat and said, "Mian Niang, you have been taking Lu Dashan into the mountains to collect herbs for the past two days!"

"Well, yes!" Tang Mian saw the reactions of the people around him and nodded calmly.

Mrs. Chen paused for a moment and didn't want to speak anymore. Why should she be allowed to do this?

Turning around with his back to Tang Mian, he glared at the people around him and silently opened his mouth: "Let's talk to someone else."

The people around her still gave her looks and asked her to continue. It had been agreed before and she could not change her mind at the last minute.

Mrs. Chen was a little frustrated. Why did she take over such a laborious and potentially thankless thing in a hurry?
Mrs. Chen took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Tang Mian with a smile on her face, "Mian Niang, you have led Lu Dashan to collect herbs for the past two days. Lu Dashan must have earned a lot of money because of this!"

After speaking, he glanced at Lu Dashan.

Seeing the posture in front of him, Lu Dashan felt that this group of people had an ulterior motive. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Tang Mian say slowly: "It's not much. I'm afraid it's not as much as Brother Dashan usually earns."
