Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 166 Who is the ungrateful wolf?

Luo Yanxing raised his hand to cover his eyes. He waited until all the dirt had fallen off before he put his hand down, shook his clothes, and said, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, it won't be me that the government will arrest."

Her reaction made Wang feel like she had punched cotton. She held her breath, unable to move up or down.

Aunt Meihua's focus was, "You used ephedra to save your Aunt Zhang? When did it happen?"

Her eyes moved between the three girls, finally landing on her own daughter.

I have never heard Xiao Cui mention such an important matter.

Zhang was also surprised and looked at Xiaoxiang, waiting for her explanation.

Luo Yanxing's mind moved, and he explained in detail: "It was last year when Song Ying had his birthday. It snowed a lot the night before, and Uncle Zhao wrapped himself in the quilt, so you got cold."

When she said this, everyone remembered that Zhang was indeed in danger that time and Zhao Hu refused to call a doctor.

The night before, it seemed that Zhang was about to die, and they thought they would have to go to Zhao's house to take care of the funeral the next day. However, they heard in the morning that Zhang had woken up and was able to get out of bed and walk.

Aunt Meihua was stunned: "You treated him that time? You can treat illnesses?!"

Luo Yanxing snorted, "We went to the mountains to look for ephedra in the middle of the night with torches because we didn't want her to be without a mother."

She emphasized the word "Xiaoxiang", hoping that Zhang could understand that she was able to recover from her illness and survive because of Xiaoxiang.

"It was late at night, it was pitch black, and we were freezing. If it wasn't for Xiaoxiang, we wouldn't have gone. On the way back, Song Ying fell down the mountain and was covered in wounds. He was in pain for a long time.

You say we are ungrateful, but I think you are the ones. Humph! You are still ashamed to associate with Song Ying.

If Song Ying hadn't heard by chance that ephedra could reduce fever when she was selling herbs; if she hadn't identified ephedra correctly, the grass on your grave would be so tall by now!"

After he finished speaking in one breath, Luo Yanxing felt that the depression that had been blocking his heart for some time had lessened a little.

Then she realized something was wrong.

If Aunt Zhang went to find Song Ying to thank her, wouldn't she find out that Song Ying was not at home?

Song Yingcai has been in Shen's house for five days, and it is unknown whether she has established herself on her feet. When her grandmother finds out, will she force her to come back?

Zhang was silent.

Aunt Meihua laughed dryly and said with a complicated expression: "I didn't expect Song Ying to be able to treat illnesses."

Seeing that the topic was going off topic, Wang was getting anxious: "Alright, we are talking about herbs, why are we talking about something else?"

She pointed at Luo Yanxing and said, "I think you are just lying, you are making up so many nonsense just to get away with this, right?

Don’t think you’re the only ones in this village who know about herbs. If you don’t tell me, I’ll go ask Uncle Huang. If I find out you’re lying to us, I’ll beat you to death!”

Luo Yanxing's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, how could he forget that Grandpa Huang also knew about herbs.

She licked her lips nervously and said with all her might, "Go ahead and ask. No one is stopping you."

Now, Wang was so angry when she spoke to her that she took the green grass knot from Aunt Meihua's hand, turned around and went directly to Huang's house in the east of the village without even carrying the basket: "I'll go now."

Xiaoxiang shrank her neck, extremely nervous, while Zhao Xiaocui glared at Luo Yanxing secretly, thinking that she should have said something else to dissuade Wang from her idea.

Aunt Meihua glanced at the three of them, stood up and said, "I'll go take a look too."

As he said this, he picked up his backpack and went after Wang.

Seeing that both of them had left, Zhang said that she also wanted to go and take a look, and when she left, she did not forget to take Xiaoxiang with her.

"What should we do now?" Zhao Xiaocui looked at Luo Yanxing anxiously.

Luo Yanxing was also a little panicked, "Where did your mother pick those? Are they really ephedra?"

"Yes, she picked it on Yuanbao Mountain. I saw it with my own eyes. The soil was not moist at all. It couldn't be knotweed." Zhao Xiaocui was almost crying.

That afternoon, after Song Ying's reminder, they all agreed that their situation would improve only if they did not teach their family members about herbs, but not teaching them was impossible.

After discussing for a while, we finally came up with a solution. We picked some common and cheap herbs to teach, as well as some herbs that were so similar that they were difficult to distinguish. When teaching, we didn't need to explain them too clearly, and we should be vague where possible.

Maybe after a while, when the adults see that they can’t make much money and are confused, they may give up.

They took into account every detail and even remembered to inform Xiaoxiang.

Of course, this matter was the responsibility of Zhao Xiaocui, who was Xiaoxiang's cousin. Zhang did not allow Xiaoxiang to associate with others, but she could not stop her from associating with Zhao Xiaocui.

I never expected that there was still an omission. I forgot that Huang Yihai also knows about herbs!

Looking at Zhang walking away, Luo Yanxing gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go over and take a look. We can find a chance to make amends."

Zhao Xiaocui had no other choice but to listen to her and give it a try.

When the two arrived, Wang and her friends had already knocked on the Huang family's door.

Huang Yihai's son and daughter-in-law took out a bench and were inviting them to sit down.

Wang waved her hand and said, "No need to sit down. We are here to see your father and ask him something."

"Sit down and rest for a while." Huang Yihai's son said as he turned his head and shouted into the house, "Dad, Sister Wang and the others are looking for you, come out quickly."

Luo Yanxing and Zhao Xiaocui looked at each other nervously, walked in one after the other, and stood next to Xiaoxiang.

After waiting for a long time, Huang Yihai came out slowly with his pipe in hand. "You busy guys, how come you have time to come to my house today?"

"Uncle Huang, we would like to ask you to help us check if this is Ephedra sinica or Herba Lycopodii?"

Huang Yihai's expression relaxed slightly. He took the green grass knot and looked at it carefully.

After a while, he nodded gently: "Yes, it is ephedra."

Upon hearing this, Wang immediately got angry, rushed out of the door, broke off a mulberry branch, rushed back, and started beating Luo Yanxing.

"You damned woman, you have so many tricks up your sleeve, and you still dare to fool me! If I don't beat you to death today, I won't be named Wang!"

Aunt Meihua also slapped Zhao Xiaocui in the face, "You are so bold now, you don't tell the truth at all!"

Zhao Xiaocui cried out in injustice: "Mom, I didn't say this is knotweed. When I taught you, I told you it was ephedra, but I wasn't sure."

Aunt Meihua was stunned for a moment and realized that she had called the wrong number. Her daughter had indeed been saying that she was not sure.

One is a worthless weed, and the other is ephedra which costs more than ten cents per pound. Of course she had to find out the difference, so she thought of asking her niece.

A dozen coins per pound...

Aunt Meihua glanced at her nervous daughter and suddenly asked, "Uncle Huang, how much is this ephedra per pound?"

Huang Yixing pondered for a moment and said, "I have never sold ephedra, so I don't know how the clinic charges for it. However, last year my old man caught a cold, and the medicine that Doctor Ma prescribed for him contained ephedra."
