Ms. Yang cried and asked, "Can Xiao Si'er's brain still recover?"

"You won't be stupid forever, right?"

Lin Shuangshuang shook his head: "No one can say for sure. I can only try my best to help him treat it."

"Maybe a year and a half, maybe longer..."

Ms. Yang burst into tears. She didn't think her son was stupid and the hope of the whole family was shattered. She just simply felt sorry for her son.

The Liu family and Wang family next to them learned that Gu Hanzhou was stupid, and their expressions instantly became extremely ugly.

Mrs. Wang is a straight-tempered person and couldn't help complaining: "God has no eyesight. When will the bad days at home end?"

"I originally hoped that my fourth child could be admitted to the show and bring some benefits to the family. How can I say that this is stupid?"

"Another burden to the good family..."

Listening to Wang's complaints, Ms. Yang seemed to go crazy, picked up the broom and threw it at her. Gu Jinguo blocked it for her.

"You're a troublemaker who kills a thousand people, who do you think is a burden?"

"If you think it's too late, go back to your parents' house. Our old Gu family doesn't have a daughter-in-law like you..."

Gu Jinguo blocked his wife behind him: "Mom, that's not what Guihua means. She just doesn't keep her mouth shut..."

When Mrs. Wang saw that her mother-in-law was really angry, she hid behind the man and did not dare to say a word.

Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Wang's quail look, and the corners of her lips curled up. She was really an idiot. At this time, she dared to say that her brother-in-law was a burden in front of her mother-in-law. If she didn't get beaten, who would get beaten?

After Yang's anger subsided, he told Lin Shuangshuang to take good care of Gu Hanzhou.

"I asked your second brother to borrow a bamboo bed from the village chief's house, and I asked Xiaochen and Yaomei to sleep in the main room later. There is not much room at home, so we can only make do with it..."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded: "Let mother worry about it. When we make money later, we will build a building so that the children at home can have their own rooms."

Yang nodded perfunctorily. She couldn't even think about that kind of day.

Lin Shuangshuang got up at dawn the next day. She planned to go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables and mushrooms and stir-fry them with the haggis.

Although the haggis noodles and braised noodles are delicious, those soupy dishes need to be cooked fresh and are not easy to transport.

This means that she needs a shop or a food stall, tables, chairs, pots and pans, and a stove, plus an ox cart to pull goods back and forth.

The Gu family's situation did not allow her to prepare so many things.

So she can only prepare some convenient and easy-to-sell food to sell in the town!

"Sister, where are you going?"

"Go up the mountain and dig wild vegetables."

"I'll go as well."

As soon as Yaomei finished speaking, she poked her little head out of the room: "Auntie, I'm going too."

There was a heavy snowstorm a few days ago, but the weather warmed up yesterday. The snow melted overnight, and the mountains were lush again.

When Lin Shuangshuang and the three of them went up the mountain, they didn't meet many old women and young wives digging wild vegetables.

"Isn't this the new daughter-in-law of the Gu family? Why is she going up to the mountains to dig wild vegetables?"

"Daughter-in-law of the Gu family, your mother's family gave you a lot of good things as a dowry, right?"

All the aunts in the village are very familiar with each other, and they will say hello to her regardless of whether they know her or not.

On the other hand, the little wives were more shy. They just smiled at her and said very little.

Lin Shuangshuang said: "No matter how much my mother's family gives me, there will be a time when it is all spent, so I still have to save money."

"When I pick mushrooms later, I have to ask my aunt to teach me. I'm afraid I'll step on poisonous ones."

The fat aunt smiled and said, "This is easy to explain. If you don't understand anything, just ask aunt."

"However, most of the edible fungi have been trampled, and we can dig up a lot of wild vegetables."

As the fat aunt was talking, she saw a dark green, flowering plant, and shouted in surprise: "I didn't expect that it snowed heavily, but this black vegetable didn't freeze to death."

Lin Shuangshuang followed her gaze and immediately focused on the plant with dense lotus-shaped leaves and thick leaves.

This plant was called Wutaicai in later generations, but here it is called Heicai, probably because of its dark green color and shiny black oil.

Wutaicai is extremely cold-tolerant and has the effects of clearing away heat and diuresis, nourishing the stomach and detoxifying, soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen.

"Daughter-in-law of the Gu family, this piece of food is all black vegetables. Hurry up and dig in. Soon there will be too many people to grab it."

Lin Shuangshuang looked at the fist-sized cabbage. It was obviously a newly emerged plant, and it would be a pity to dig it up now.

As far as she knew, in later generations a Wutaicai tree could grow as big as a washbasin.

"Auntie, why don't you wait until it grows up before you dig it?"

"Why wait? There won't be any leftovers in a few more days."

"Our countryside is no better than your city. We are short of food and drink all year round, so these wild vegetables have become a rarity."

"Let's just talk about this black vegetable. It usually grows in early October and is dug up by the villagers in three to five days."

Lin Shuangshuang now understood why the fat aunt was so surprised to see that Wutaicai was not frozen to death by the heavy snow.

Because the vegetable seedlings were picked as soon as they sprouted and they couldn't wait until winter.

"Auntie, how big can this biggest black vegetable grow?"

"The largest one is as big as the mouth of a bowl, usually the size of a fist."

"Have you ever seen one as big as a washbasin?"

The fat aunt smiled: "Hahaha, it's true that the city lady has never farmed before."

"Even the cabbage carefully grown in the field cannot grow as big as a washbasin, let alone the wild vegetables on the mountain."

Lin Shuangshuang's eyes lit up, she didn't say anything, and she started to dig the Wutaicai, and asked her two children to dig with her.

After digging out the Wutaicai in this area, Lin Shuangshuang changed places.

She wanted to see if there was anything else available on the mountain.

After walking around for a while, Lin Shuangshuang was in a good mood. There were treasures everywhere on the mountain.

"Daughter-in-law of the Gu family, that fungus is poisonous and cannot be picked."

The fat aunt reminded her kindly, but Lin Shuangshuang still picked quickly with one hand.

This is the famous red porcini mushroom, commonly known as Jianshouqing. Although it is poisonous, it is a delicacy in the world.

In later generations, it was sold for two hundred yuan per pound, but here it turned out to be a poisonous mushroom that everyone avoided like snakes and scorpions.

Hehe, doesn’t this make her cheaper?

This wool must be sheared, crazily!

"Auntie, I'm not here to eat it. I went back and dried it to make medicinal materials."

It's not surprising that Lin Shuangshuang said this. Everyone in the village knew that she had medical skills.

Those poisonous insects, snakes and ants can still be used to make wine. Why can’t these poisonous mushrooms be used as medicinal materials?

"Okay, you can pick them, but don't get confused."

"Yeah, thanks for reminding me, aunt."

Yaomei and Xiaochen looked at the red mushrooms all over the ground and wanted to help her pick them, but Lin Shuangshuang decisively refused.

This mushroom is indeed poisonous. She will naturally pay attention when picking it and wash her hands with soap when she returns.

But the two children don't understand anything, and they will be in trouble if they are poisoned.

"Don't touch them, these mushrooms are poisonous."

"Go and pick up that one, pick up as many as you have."

When the fat aunt heard what she said, she worriedly reminded her again: "Daughter-in-law of the Gu family, those are acorns, not chestnuts. They are bitter and astringent, and I heard they are also poisonous."

Lin Shuangshuang was helpless, this fat aunt was really warm-hearted and heartbroken.

"Auntie, I picked it up and made it into medicinal wine."

"Oh, it's okay if you don't want to eat it, then you can pick it up."
