I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

Due to this delay, it was already dark when Ye Ze returned home. From a distance he saw a large group of people gathered outside his house.

Among these people were the three families who followed Boss Ye and his men up the mountain to collect herbs. Most of the others came to watch the fun, wanting to see if this carefree guy Ye Ze had really changed for the better and could make money.

I also want to know how much money they can make in a day by digging herbs. If the income is considerable, I will ask Ye Ze and the others if they go up the mountain with them tomorrow, whether they can sell the herbs they dig. After all, there are many people selling herbs, what should the pharmacy do if it can't collect so many?

Most of the people who gathered at the gate of the Ye family were members of the Ye clan, all of whom were related to them.

At this moment, the few people who had gone up the mountain with them were discussing with others the tiger roar they heard on the mountain today.

When they heard there was a tiger on the mountain, everyone was afraid: "Did you really hear the tiger roar? The tiger will not come down the mountain to eat people, right?"

"Where did you hear that? What happened next?"

"They won't come down the mountain, will they? I heard two noises, and then nothing happened..."

Having said that, some timid people still unconsciously backed down in their hearts.

As Ye Ze approached, the voices of people gradually died down, and the crowd automatically made way for him to pass through.

Ye Ze greeted everyone with a smile, said that he would divide the money immediately, and walked quickly through the crowd to his room.

"You'll get your share of the money soon,"

"I wonder how much we can sell the little we pick."

Several people became nervous unconsciously.

After hearing what they said, a woman who came to watch the fun couldn't help but ask, "Hey? Shanzi, how many herbs did you pick yesterday?"

"Not much, just half a basket less. I picked more today than yesterday." Shanzi replied honestly with a smile on his face.

The old woman stood on tiptoe and took a look at his backpack. She stopped talking and stretched her neck to look into the yard. When she saw Ye Ze coming out with a wooden box, she reminded him loudly, "Ye Lao San is out."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned towards the Ye family courtyard, especially those who had picked herbs yesterday. They were extremely excited, wondering how much money they would get in a while.

You can earn about twenty copper coins a day working in the town. Picking herbs is much easier than working in the town.

Ye Ze stood near the gate. Ye Laoer brought a square table and placed it in front of him. Ye Ze placed the wooden box on the table and then took out the paper and pen he used for accounting yesterday.

All the herbs were weighed, and everyone knew how much they had collected. Ye Ze then told them the price of each herb so that they could figure out for themselves whether the amount they paid was correct.

There were five people in total who went up the mountain with them. All of them came from families that had hard times. Shanzi was fourteen years old this year. He had a younger brother, Xiaoman, who was ten years old. Their mother died of complications during childbirth, and their grandparents were old, so his father was the only one supporting the family.

So, when the village chief went to his house and asked him if he wanted to go up the mountain, he agreed without a second thought. His younger brother Xiaoman also followed him up the mountain. The two brothers received a total of 108 cents, which was almost as much as his father's wages for five days working in the county town. The two brothers were so happy that they almost cried.

Aunt Ye Liu is almost fifty years old this year. She went up the mountain with her daughter-in-law. Her husband died early, and she gave birth to only one son, Ye Chuanjia. After Ye Chuanjia got married, he gave birth to three daughters and one son. The whole family relied on her son to raise them alone, and the family was really stretched to the limit. When Ye Ze handed the 115 cents to the old lady, Aunt Ye Liu's hands were shaking with excitement.

The last one was a young boy named Sanwa who was only eight years old. His grandmother was sick and the whole family was anxious to collect money to buy medicine for his grandmother. Sanwa was filial and also wanted to earn money for his grandmother's medical treatment, so he followed them up the mountain. Ye Ze gave him fifty cents to make it an even number.

The only two people who were unwilling to take the money from Ye Ze were Shouhou and Goudan. They just wanted to have a full meal. Ye Ze had no choice but to let them be. Since he had acknowledged these two brothers, he would naturally not treat them unfairly.

Then he weighed the herbs that the people had collected today, recorded the weight, and asked them to come back tomorrow night to divide the money.

Those who did not go and remained skeptical now couldn't help but feel a little regretful. However, when they thought about the tigers in the mountains and that they had to go to the edge of the dense forest to collect herbs, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

In the end, only five families decided to go and collect herbs tomorrow.

After the matter was settled, people dispersed and Ye Ze's house suddenly became quiet. Dinner was set on the table. This time, men and women ate at two tables, and the children sat at one table with the women.

Plates of dumplings stuffed with pork and shepherd's purse were served on the table, and the people sitting around the table were almost drooling. Especially Shouhou and Goudan, they actually ate dumplings today, wuwuwu... How happy!

Okay, don’t say anything, just start eating.

After dinner, Ye Ze thought of what to say and went straight to Old Lady Ye’s room.

Zhao Li got some warm water and was about to help Old Lady Ye wash her feet when Ye Ze, who had just walked in, chased her out: "Let me do it, you go out and close the door."

Zhao Li gave him a puzzled look: "Oh."

It was already dark outside, and only vague shadows could be seen in the room. Ye Ze found an oil lamp, lit it, put it on the table, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to wash Old Lady Ye's feet.

Normally, family members are reluctant to use oil lamps, and when dark, almost everyone in the family goes to bed.

Old Lady Ye dodged to the side, with a hint of displeasure on her face: "You are a man, how can you wash other people's feet casually?"

Ye Ze said sternly: "What are you talking about, mother? You are my mother, I should wash your feet and show my filial piety to you."

"Mom, wash your feet yourself. What do you want to tell me?" Old Mrs. Ye lowered her face helplessly and washed her feet herself.

"Yeah." Ye Ze pulled a stool over and sat next to Old Lady Ye, and asked mysteriously, "Mom, have you ever heard of a lucky husband?"

Old Lady Ye frowned: "What do you want to say? Brother Ze, there's no need to beat around the bush when talking to your mother, just say it directly."

"Hehe, let me be frank. I think Zhao Li is definitely a lucky charm for her husband! Whoever marries her will have good luck!" Ye Ze said confidently, and then took out the tightly wrapped wild ginseng: "Mom, look..."

Old Lady Ye stared at the cloth bag Ye Ze took out in confusion: "What is this?"

When the cloth bag was unwrapped and she saw under the dim oil lamp that what was wrapped inside was actually a ginseng, Old Mrs. Ye's breathing became nervous and she asked in a low voice: "Ze brother, is this...is it wild ginseng? Mom, it's so big..." How much silver would it sell for!
