Escape in the Year of Disaster: She cheated after dressing up as a peasant mother-in-law

Chapter 6 Discovering Wild Fungi
One night, she was tossing and turning on the wooden bed, always feeling sick and nervous. Before dawn, she put on a cotton-padded jacket and got up.

The sky is not completely bright yet, and the east side is white with fish belly, and the wind is blowing gently, which is cool and comfortable.

Under the low shack, there was a sound of sweeping the floor. Not far away, Mrs. Zhang was bending down to sweep the floor with a broom.

Jin Dashan was sitting at the door of the hut with an axe, chopping firewood. Jin Erniu picked up a bucket and went out. Jin Sanwang was carrying a basket and was about to go out when he was stopped by Liang Shuyan.

"Sanwang, where are you going with your basket so early in the morning?"

Jin Sanwang hesitated and said, "Mom, go and weed in the fields?"

"Don't be anxious, finish breakfast before going out!" Liang Shuyan stepped forward and took off the backpack from Jin Sanwang's shoulder, and gently placed it in the corner.

On the stove, the porridge in Zhang's pot was bubbling continuously. There was an iron pot with some cracks on the edge. The rice soup overflowed from the edge of the pot, exuding a burst of rice fragrance.

Jin Niuniu stood on a small bench, licking the saliva from her mouth with her tongue from time to time, looking at Mrs. Zhang with her eyes: "Sister-in-law, I'm hungry!"

Mrs. Zhang gently touched Jin Niuniu's head and said: "Be good, Niuniu, sit on the small bench and wait. Soon, my sister-in-law will serve it for you."

Liang Shuyan's heart skipped a beat. Seeing Jin Niuniu, who was about six years old, drooling over the porridge in the pot, she couldn't help but feel ashamed. Such a young child was so greedy for a mouthful of rice porridge. Like this.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang took a spoon, scooped out a spoonful of rice porridge for each person in the pot, divided it evenly into several gapped porcelain bowls, and placed it on the small wooden table.

It is said to be rice porridge, but when you look closer, you can see that there are a few grains of rice cake floating on top of the light soup.

The children all picked up their bowls, drank the porridge with a slurp, and touched their bellies with satisfaction.

Mrs. Liu came in with a broom. When she saw the bowl on the wooden table, the corners of her mouth drooped. Fortunately, there was still some rice soup, so she didn't care, picked it up and drank it in one gulp.

She knew that if it was a little later, she might not be able to drink even the little rice soup.

Liang Shuyan stayed for a while and then spoke: "Now that you've had your breakfast, let's get ready to work!"

"Dashan, go and take a look at the food in the back mountains. It's about to be harvested before it's too late. It's been abused! Erniu, be responsible for carrying water! The second brother's family, and Sanwang, come out with me!"

When Zhang and Jin Niuniu were left, Liang Shuyan said: "My dear friends, take good care of Niuniu at home!"

"Oh, I see, mother!"

On this day, we must look for some food in the mountains and come back. Otherwise, if the family has so many mouths waiting for food, wouldn't it mean that they would starve to death?
Ms. Zhang was a little confused. What happened to her mother-in-law today? Why did she get up so early and take the second child's family to the mountains?
On weekdays, the second son's family would always say a few nice words, and the mother-in-law would get angry at Ms. Zhang. She did all the work in the house, but today was a little different.

Zhang hesitated for a moment and took Niu Niu back to the house.

Except for Zhang and the old lady, everyone in the family has their own things to do.

The sun came out, the first ray of light fell on the earth, and people in the village began to get busy.

Liang Shuyan's body was a bit fat, so it was difficult to go up the mountain. The bark of the trees in the woods on the roadside had been peeled off. Women and children from various families were carrying baskets on the mountain to look for food.

"Everything here has been dug up. Not to mention the wild vegetables, even the bark of the trees has been peeled off. Let's go deeper inside."

Liu and Sanwang followed Liang Shuyan. "Host, there is licorice here. The current price in the mall is three cents. Do you want to exchange it for money or other items?"

The roots of licorice are deeper and more troublesome to dig. She hesitated: "What can I replace it with?"

"Then, can you change it to a big fat rabbit?"

The system was telling her: "It's possible, but it requires at least ten kilograms of licorice!"

Liang Shuyan discovered that there was a lot of licorice on this hillside, but the ground was relatively dry and it was difficult to dig. If a pound of it cost three pennies, how could it be sold for a lot of money in addition to a fat rabbit?

From a distance, she could see that there was quite a lot of licorice. She was happy for a moment and stretched out her hand to greet Liu and Sanwang: "You two, dig these things out quickly. If you see them, just tell me." this!"

Mrs. Liu knelt down, took a closer look at the licorice, picked it up and smelled it: "Mom, this thing is inedible, what do you do with it?"

Liang Shuyan glared: "I asked you to dig, it will definitely be useful, why are you so long-winded?"

Sanwang whispered: "Second sister-in-law, if mother asks us to dig it, it will be useful, so dig it!"

After arranging two children to dig licorice, Liang Shuyan moved to another place, and the system voice began to call again: "Host, a mushroom has appeared. The price is 15 Wen. Do you want to sell it?"

"Yes!" Liang Shuyan was excited for a moment, and her voice suddenly became louder.

"I found a natural wild black-skinned chicken fir around. It costs 50 yuan. Do you want to sell it?"

"Yes!"

Liang Shuyan's fingers clicked quickly on the panel, without looking at it, just clicked yes!
If all these things can be exchanged for money, wouldn't she become a rich woman? With the money, she can go to town to buy some food and store it in the system's warehouse. Are she afraid that she won't have anything to eat on the way out?
The more she thought about it, the more motivated she became. She squatted on the ground and picked mushrooms quickly while humming a tune.

Madam Liu was curious, so she stepped forward and asked softly: "Mom, what did you discover that makes you so happy?"

Liang Shuyan glanced at the licorice in Liu's basket and nodded: "Well, hurry up, help pick these mushrooms, pick all of them."

Mrs. Liu glanced at the wild mushrooms on the ground and hurriedly grabbed her mother-in-law's lapel: "That's it, Mom, these things are inedible, they are poisonous. You have forgotten, this is what I gave to my uncle's children before. ?”

Because of this incident, the natal family severed ties with the original owner. People in the village said that the original owner was ruthless and poisoned their own nephew.

Liang Shuyan felt aggrieved for the original owner in her heart: "It's true that the original owner did bad things with good intentions. How can these people say that about her? However, I have a system now, and the system has already prompted me. I don't care if it is poisonous or not, as long as it can To make money, I would rather all these things can be exchanged for silver, then what’s the point?”

"It's okay, these things are not poisonous, you can pick them with confidence!"

Ms. Liu didn't dare to talk back to her mother-in-law. Since her mother-in-law said it was not poisonous, she would just pick it!

Sanwang became extremely nervous: "Mom, take a look, I know this mushroom. It is indeed non-toxic and very fragrant when fried."

Liang Shuyan nodded and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves: "Okay, pick some more and bring them back. Mom will fry some for us tonight. I guarantee you will still be thinking about the next meal after this meal?"
