Song Yan greeted: "Aunt Niu, where are you going so early?"

"Why did you get up so early?" Aunt Niu was even more surprised. She closed the door and looked towards the foot of the mountain. "We plan to go up the mountain and dig some wild vegetables."

Oh, what a coincidence.

Song Yan smiled and said, "Then let's go together. We are also going to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms."

"Can you pick mushrooms?" Aunt Niu was suspicious.

Song Yan raised her chin and said, "Aunt, don't underestimate me. I'm an expert at picking mushrooms."

"Oh, you are so proud of yourself." Aunt Niu couldn't help but want to say to him when she saw his smug expression, "Don't bring back a basket of poisonous mushrooms later."

"Tsk~" Song Yan raised his eyebrows and patted Erlin on the shoulder, "Ask Erlin if the mushrooms I picked up last time are edible."

Erlin smiled and said, "A few days ago, my brother picked some mushrooms and cooked some mushroom and egg soup."

Aunt Niu was really surprised: "I didn't expect you could actually cook."

The few of them chatted and laughed all the way to the foot of the mountain.

Looking around, the hillside is green, especially after a few days of rain, the wild vegetables in the fields grow one after another, and they can never be dug up.

They got up quite early, but when they arrived, they saw some people already digging wild vegetables.

Fortunately, the weather is good and the crops harvested from the fields are enough to support the family.

Otherwise, this patch of wild vegetables would have been dug up by the villagers long ago.

The Bull God found a place where wild vegetables were abundant, squatted down and started digging.

Song Yan also squatted down beside her, pointed at the wild vegetables she had dug and asked, "Aunt, what is this?"

“Ku Ding Cai.”

"How to eat it?" Song Yan asked again.

Aunt Niu patiently taught him: "Go home and soak it in water for half an hour, then blanch it in boiling water to remove the bitterness, and then you can eat it by stir-frying or mixing it with other ingredients."

Song Yan nodded as she listened, and took note of it silently in her mind.

"Then I'll dig some out and fry it with eggs."

Aunt Niu rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are the only one who knows how to eat."

He even fried it with eggs and didn't know how to be frugal at all.

Song Yan ignored it and refused to change his ways.

He looked down at his feet and saw a plant that looked like a weed. After thinking it over, he decided to dig it out.

He asked Aunt Niu: "Aunt, can I eat this?"

Aunt Niu didn't hear it, but Ah Niu, who was silent, said, "Gray-gray vegetables are edible."

There are so many wild vegetables on the mountain, many of which Song Yan doesn’t recognize.

Song Yan went to observe Aniu, and dug the same thing as he did.

After walking two steps forward, he saw a lot of wild vegetables with small white flowers on the hillside in front of him. Song Yan couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow".

Before Ah Niu could speak, he said, "I know this is shepherd's purse. It can be used to make dumplings. It's really delicious."

Song Yan quickly dug up shepherd's purse. He decided to make dumplings with the shepherd's purse in the evening. The dumplings made with freshly picked shepherd's purse were so delicious.

After digging a large piece of wild vegetables, Song Yan stretched and lazily saw something, but suddenly his eyes lit up.

He walked over quickly, bent down and broke off a curled sprout from the ground: "This looks like a fern."

When eating cold dishes outside, you can often eat bracken, which is sour and spicy and very appetizing.

Fortunately, he brought a backpack today, otherwise it would not be able to hold so many wild vegetables.

Erlin was concentrating on digging wild vegetables under his feet and did not notice that Song Yan was walking further and further away.

Until Aunt Yao next to him said to him: "Erlin, why are you here to pick wild vegetables?"

Erlin wondered, isn’t it normal to come out and dig wild vegetables?

"Your brother has been at home these days. He didn't beat you, did he?" Aunt Yao asked in confusion.

Erlin felt strange and shook his head: "No."

Aunt Yao looked around, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously, "You better be careful. I heard that your brother wants to give you to someone else for adoption."

Erlin's face changed and he immediately denied it: "Brother won't do that."

Aunt Yao swore, "Of course not. I heard that he has already accepted the money. He will send you over tomorrow."

Erlin recalled that night when his eldest brother promised them that he would not give him and Erya away.

But then he remembered that his elder brother had gone out and bought a lot of things, so where would he get so much money?

Erlin's face wavered. He bit his lip and said, "It's impossible. I don't believe it."

"Alas." Aunt Yao looked at him with a look of disappointment, "Forget it, your eldest brother is not a good guy either, it's better for you to leave him."

"Aunt Yao, please stop talking. Big brother is not that kind of person." Erlin couldn't help but retort.

My eldest brother brought back some meat yesterday and bought some silk flowers for Erya. Last night he said he would continue to send him to school.

Big brother won't lie to him.

But what if, what if...

The mushrooms on the mountain had been picked once by someone, so there weren’t many left in the end, but they were enough for making soup.

Song Yan wiped the sweat off his face and shouted to Erlin, "Erlin, go back."

Erlin continued to keep his head down and said nothing.

Song Yan thought he didn't hear her, so she called out again, "Erlin!"

Erlin wiped his eyes with his sleeve and said in a hoarse voice, "Here it comes."

Song Yan noticed his abnormality, walked up to him, noticed that his eyes were red, and immediately asked, "What's wrong? Why are your eyes red?"

"It's okay." Erlin said sullenly, "I was blinded by the sand by accident."

But he was young after all, and couldn't hide the truth on his face, so Song Yan saw through him immediately.

Song Yan frowned and asked, "What happened just now?"

Why are you crying for no reason?

Erlin clenched his fists and finally asked, "Brother, will you give me away?"

Song Yan's face immediately darkened: "Did someone say anything to you?"

"Didn't I tell you before? I won't give you away to others."

Erlin pursed her lips, feeling a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Song Yan frowned: "Even my elder brother doesn't believe it?"

Erlin quickly said, "I believe in you, big brother."

Song Yan put her arm around his shoulders and said loudly, "Before, a family member wanted to adopt you, but I didn't agree. I'm not stupid. Your parents raised you to this age. If you were to send you away, wouldn't you be treated like a slave?"

He deliberately spoke very loudly to ensure that everyone present could hear it clearly.

Aunt Yao cursed in her heart, that damn woman Zhang Cuihua, who said that Dashan Niang wanted to adopt Erlin and gave money to Dashu, so she believed it.

Song Yan glanced at the people around him and said, "Let me know who is spreading rumors in front of you, and I will break his neck."

As he said this, he even twisted his neck.

Several aunts shuddered and glanced at Aunt Yao inconspicuously. They all saw her talking to Erlin just now.

They were all enjoying the show and no one spoke up to join in.

Aunt Yao touched the back of her neck which was feeling cold, moved her feet, and silently moved away from him.

Aunt Niu and Aniu were on another hillside and didn't notice what happened, but she heard what Song Yanang had just said.

Aunt Niu stood up in a flash, with her hands on her hips: "A bunch of people over fifty are still gossiping in front of children. Aren't they afraid of shortening their lifespans?"

On the way back, seeing Erlin still unhappy, Aunt Niu tried to comfort him, "Erlin, don't listen to their nonsense. That day by the river, Dashan Niang said she wanted to adopt you, but your eldest brother turned her down on the spot."

"You brothers and sisters should live a good life, otherwise they will be jealous."

Erlin nodded heavily: "I believe in big brother."

When they were almost home, Song Yan remembered something and said, "Aunt Niu, I want to ask Uncle Niu to make two beds, a few cabinets, tables, chairs, benches, and two wooden basins."

Hearing this, Aunt Niu was shocked: "You have to make so many things, it will cost a lot of money."
