Jiang Yuwei thought that she still had to go back to cook dinner for the villagers, so she said to the head of the village:

"Li Zheng, I won't go with you to the government office. There are too many things to do at home. Huai Zhi can't handle it by himself. I have to trouble the Li Zheng to help me run a trip."

Li Zheng nodded and said:

"Okay, leave it to me, and go back to work, eldest daughter-in-law."

When Jiang Yuwei left, she looked at Xu Qianqian who was still standing beside her with a nonchalant expression and said in a deep voice:

"If you still don't know how to restrain yourself, I will never let you go. I will use all the means you used against me to fight back against you."

Xu Qianqian looked at Jiang Yuwei's eyes at this time and actually felt a little scared, but still said:

"Stop messing around here!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang, who followed behind Xu Qianqian, stepped forward and stood in front of Xu Qianqian, staring at Jiang Yuwei angrily and said:

"Who do you think you are to threaten my daughter? You are just being so arrogant because she is a widow without an in-law. Let me tell you, if it weren't for the crippled Ning Huaizhi returning from the battlefield, you would be a widow too, and you are not much better off."

Jiang Yuwei frowned and looked at the ferocious-looking Wang Po in front of her and said in a deep voice:

"As expected, what kind of mother you have will determine what kind of daughter you raise. If you don't like our Huaizhi, then let your daughter give up on that idea as soon as possible and stop coming to our house to hang around our Huaizhi. I don't believe that she, a widow, doesn't know the difference between men and women!"

When Mrs. Wang saw this, she was about to say something, but Xu Qianqian behind her pulled her back a few times, signaling her not to say anything more.

Jiang Yuwei didn't want to watch the mother and daughter acting here anymore, so she turned and walked towards the small courtyard at the east end of the village.

When Jiang Yuwei arrived at the yard, she saw everyone busy building the wall, while Ning Huaizhi was washing dishes with Ning Wan.

Ning Huaizhi saw Jiang Yuwei coming back, and stopped what he was doing, and asked with a worried look on his face:

"Yuwei, what's going on? Did you catch the criminals?"

Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded:

"He was caught. It was Zhang Laizi from the west end of the village. He said he was ordered by Xu Qianqian. Xu Qianqian promised him that if he could bully me, she would serve Zhang Laizi every day."

Ning Huaizhi's eyes widened when he heard Jiang Yuwei's words. He stared at Jiang Yuwei in disbelief and asked:

"Yuwei, how could it be, why would Qianqian do this, why would she hurt you, what is her reason?"

Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Huaizhi's face speechlessly, with his faith collapsing. She shook her head helplessly and said:

"Xu Qianqian didn't admit that she was the one who ordered it."

Ning Huaizhi seemed to be relieved after hearing what Jiang Yuwei said:

"I knew Qianqian wouldn't be that kind of person. No matter what, she wouldn't tarnish her innocence just to hurt you. Qianqian isn't a bad person by nature."

Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Huaizhi coldly and asked calmly:

"Then why did Zhang Laizi, who I have never met, want to hurt me? And why did he say that he was instructed by Xu Qianqian instead of saying that he was instructed by someone else?"

After Jiang Yuwei finished speaking, she no longer paid any attention to Ning Huaizhi and went back to busy herself with cooking.

Ning Huaizhi looked at Jiang Yuwei's busy back and murmured:

"Could it be, really, how could it be, why would Qianqian hurt Yuwei, she knew that Yuwei was my wife, why did she treat Yuwei like this, I really can't figure it out, I, I still can't believe that this was Qianqian's doing."

next morning

Jiang Yuwei thought that the yard at home had been almost repaired, and she didn't need to stay at home all day. So she went to the woods today to try her luck and see if she could find wild ginseng. So she put on her backpack, gave Ning Huaizhi some instructions, and went up the mountain.

Jiang Yuwei was afraid of encountering danger in the mountains, so she hid a dagger in her sleeve. This time, she went up the mountain along the small slope behind her house and went deep into the mountains. Jiang Yuwei thought that if she went earlier in the morning, she could stay in the mountains for a while longer, and then she could get down the mountain before dark.

Jiang Yuwei was climbing up the mountain while pulling away the grass with a wooden stick. Suddenly, she saw some tall plants protruding from the grass. She hurriedly walked closer to observe and saw that the grass had no leaves and its yellow stems were scaly. Jiang Yuwei was immediately overjoyed. This was Gastrodia elata.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuwei did not stop moving her hands and started digging the ground with a shovel. She was afraid of damaging the roots underneath, so she dug carefully.

After a while, the entire rhizome of Gastrodia elata was dug out, and it was as big as two palms. If you take Gastrodia elata of this quality to a pharmacy to sell it, you will definitely get a good price.

Jiang Yuwei hurriedly dug out several large Gastrodia elata plants in the surrounding area and put them into the backpack. Then she dug out several smaller ones and prepared to plant them in her own space and sell them when they grew up.

After Jiang Yuwei had dug up all the Gastrodia elata in this area, she continued to walk deeper into the forest. From a distance, she saw a patch of grass that looked like ginseng leaves. She didn't care about anything else and ran straight there. Just as Jiang Yuwei was lying on the ground observing carefully, she suddenly heard a sound behind her.

As soon as she turned around, she saw a gray wolf rushing towards her. Jiang Yuwei was so scared that she had to stretch out her hand to block it. In the blink of an eye, a fat figure suddenly flew from the side.

Before Jiang Yuwei could react, she saw the creature repel the gray wolf that was pouncing on it. The gray wolf looked at the wild raccoon with gray and white patterns in front of it with murderous intent in its eyes.

Unexpectedly, the wild raccoon was not afraid at all. It flew directly towards the gray wolf's face and blinded one of the wolf's eyes with just one claw. Jiang Yuwei looked at everything that was happening in front of her, stunned where she was. Could it be that this wild raccoon was trying to save her?

The gray wolf was blinded and roared in pain before turning around and running deep into the forest. Jiang Yuwei saw that the fat wild raccoon was still standing in front of her, staring majestically in the direction the gray wolf ran away.

Jiang Yuwei was afraid that the gray wolf would attract the wolves, so she hurriedly shouted:

"Wild raccoon, thank you for saving me. Let's go quickly. Are you willing to go down the mountain with me?"

The wild raccoon looked back at Jiang Yuwei, and its two dark blue eyes seemed to be full of disdain for Jiang Yuwei. Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei took out a piece of cake from her backpack and threw it forward. The wild raccoon flew over, picked up the cake in its mouth, and ate it in a few bites.

At this time, the wild raccoon looked at Jiang Yuwei with a more pleading look in his eyes. Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei had no choice but to throw another piece of cake to it. The raccoon flew over and took a few bites and ate them. After eating, he did not forget to lick his mouth with satisfaction.

Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:

"I'm about to go down the mountain. If you're willing, come with me and I'll give you some more delicious food."

After saying that, Jiang Yuwei turned and walked down the mountain. The wild raccoon behind her saw that she was going far away, so he followed her vigilantly.
