The female doctor farmed the land, bought a husband and set up a separate household

Second aunt Wu Suyun may be the only one in the Jiang family who did not bully Jiang Sining and her two siblings and call them bastards. The other one is her daughter.

In the original body's memory, the second aunt was a very gentle person, but her health was not very good and she looked sick all year round.

She gave birth to a daughter as her first pregnancy, and she could never get pregnant again after that. Jiang Hua always scolded her as a hen that lays no eggs.

The second uncle was a gambler and often stayed away from home for several days. He didn't care about them, mother and daughter. The eldest and third aunts also took advantage of them.

It can be said that the mother and daughter are the other two bullied persons of the Jiang family besides the three siblings.

My second aunt’s daughter is only 7 years old this year. She doesn’t have a formal name, so she is called Qiao Yatou. She is dark and thin, not much better than Qianqian.

But it’s so late, what are they doing here?

"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Sining asked.

Wu pulled Qiao girl over and said in a low voice, "Your grandmother and Qing girl are planning to plot against you. You better be careful these few days."

Jiang Sining was slightly stunned. She really didn't expect that her second aunt came to "tell on her."

"I brought you some flour," the second aunt continued, "and that's all I can do for you now. I'm going back now, and it would be bad if anyone saw me."

After saying this, the second aunt put a small bag of buckwheat flour on the ground, took Qiao Yatou's hand and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Jiang Sining knew that her second aunt meant well.

In this world, once a woman gets married, it is like being tied up with steel chains. Unless her husband sends her away with a divorce letter, she will never be able to escape for the rest of her life.

As for divorce, that only belongs to legend.

Few women's families are willing to accept a married daughter back.

Just like the original body's mother, if she wants to gain a foothold in her mother's family, she can only spend all her money to support the whole family, and still not get a single good word from them.

So it is rare that she can still do this at this time.

When Jiang Sining had her period, she would make ginger sugar water. There were several bags of brown sugar cubes in the refrigerator. She took out a piece and walked up to Qiao Yatou and put it in her hand.

"Eat quickly. You have to finish it before you get home."

"Thank you, Sister Ning."

Qiao Yatou thanked him obediently, but she had never eaten brown sugar before, so she didn't know what was in her hand or how precious it was.

But my second aunt had already smelled it and looked slightly surprised.

"Ning girl, where did this come from?"

"I made some money from selling mushrooms, so I bought some at the market," Jiang Sining said. "Second aunt, don't take risks like this again. We will be fine. If you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about Qiao Yatou."

These words directly touched my second aunt's heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.

The life she was living in the Jiang family like this, if she hadn't been reluctant to leave Qiao Yatou, she would have died long ago.

"Ning girl, can you really sell mushrooms for money?"

"I can, but you can't." Jiang Sining told the truth.

After all, only mushrooms grown with spiritual spring water are so delicious and can be sold at different prices.

Without the spiritual spring water, ordinary mushrooms are really hard to sell.

"Do you want more mushrooms?" asked the second aunt. "If you do, Qiao Yatou and I can go pick some."

"Come tomorrow morning. It doesn't have to be too early. Aunt Li and the others will also be here, so we can all come together then."

"Yeah. I really have to go."

The second aunt looked at Jiang Sining deeply, then pulled Qiao Yatou and walked quickly down the mountain.

After watching two thin figures, one big and one small, leave under the starry sky, Jiang Sining put away the mat and walked into the shack that smelled of hay.

Go to bed early today because you have important things to do tomorrow.

……

Jiang Sining got up before dawn.

The buckwheat flour that my second aunt sent last night weighed about two kilograms. This is also food, so it certainly cannot be thrown away.

It’s just that the buckwheat flour in this world is ground with a stone mill, so it looks black together with the bran. It is also rough when eaten and even cuts the throat.

In order to make the taste better, she only used 10% buckwheat flour and mixed it with white flour, beat a few eggs and salt, made it into a thick paste, and spread a thick stack of dough in an iron pan.

Apart from eating it for breakfast, I took the rest for lunch.

When Jiang Yan took Qianqian to the stream to wash her face, she cooked three poached eggs in a casserole and put a lot of brown sugar in the bowl.

After washing up and seeing such a sumptuous breakfast, Jiang Yan opened his mouth exaggeratedly: "Sister, our family is so rich that we can eat such a good breakfast so early in the morning!"

"We have to climb a lot of mountains and walk a lot today, so we must have a full breakfast."

The three siblings ate breakfast quickly and drank the hot brown sugar spring water, which drove away all the coldness they had suffered throughout the night.

After the pots and pans were cleaned up, Aunt Li and several women from the same village also came.

But there was a hint of worry on everyone's face.

"Ning girl, do you know everything your uncle Qin said yesterday?"

Aunt Li was talking about the possibility of giant insects in the mountains.

In fact, although pythons look ferocious, they will only actively attack larger humans when they are extremely hungry or provoked.

Pythons are much less dangerous than those venomous snakes that hide in the grass and attack by surprise.

More importantly, she has a magic weapon.

"Aunt Li, are you worried about big snakes?"

"Yes," Aunt Zhang said, "Didn't the eldest daughter of the Hong family disappear? Everyone in the village was saying yesterday that she must have been swallowed by the giant snake!"

Jiang Sining was slightly stunned. Hong Jianqiu was not swallowed by the giant snake.

But judging from everyone’s expressions, they were still very afraid.

"Are you still going today?" Jiang Sining asked.

"We have to go, otherwise we wouldn't have come." Aunt Li said, "But if we can't walk too far, we will definitely pick fewer mushrooms."

Jiang Sining thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about whether to go or not later." Jiang Sining thought for a while and said, "I'll give you the money from selling mushrooms the day before yesterday."

"I told you it's for you."

"Yeah, how can we ask you for money for something we gave you?"

"That won't work. Mushrooms don't just fall from the sky. You have to pick them up one by one," Jiang Sining said. "Aunt Li, I'll charge you 8 cents per pound. Is that okay?"

"8 wen?" Aunt Li shook her head. "At the market, it can only be sold for 10 wen at most, and it has to be in good condition. The bad ones can only be sold for 5 wen. If you give us 8 wen, won't you lose a lot of money?"

"Yes, Ning girl, although we are all short of money, we can't take dirty money."

"Every year, people come to the village to collect mushrooms, saying they will take them back to dry," said Aunt Zhang. "They give 5 cents for the good ones and only 3 cents for the bad ones."

"Let's do this," said Auntie Ma Zi, "We don't care about the quality. As long as it's not rotten, we'll charge 4 cents. Ning girl, if you can't sell it, don't force yourself to take it. We can sell it later after drying it."

"5 cents, right?" Jiang Sining said, "I sell my mushrooms to restaurants, so the price is higher."

"That's fine," Aunt Li said, "but let's make this clear first. We won't pay you for the mushrooms until you sell them. If you don't sell them one day, you can come back and give them back to us to dry, and we won't have to pay you."

Seeing that they insisted, Jiang Sining nodded and agreed: "Okay, it's settled. I'll give you the money from the day before yesterday first."

Jiang Sining paid Aunt Li and the others at the price of 5 wen per pound based on the weight he had written down the day before.

More than 40 kilograms of mushrooms, a total of more than 200 coins.

Although each person only got thirty or forty cents, it was like money falling from the sky, so everyone was naturally happy.

The happiest thing is that Jiang Sining can sell the mushrooms, so he can earn money continuously.

There is still more than a month left in summer. If I can receive dozens or hundreds of dollars every day, I will have enough money for the New Year this year!

"Then let's go quickly!"

"I mean, we should go a little further away," someone suggested.

"But what if we encounter a big snake?" asked Aunt Li.

"Actually, I have something that can help us avoid the big snake."

"Is it realgar?" Aunt Zhang asked, "I have it with me."

Jiang Sining shook his head.

It is said among the people that realgar wine can repel snakes, but in fact it is not the effect of realgar, but the effect of alcohol.

Snakes don't like things with pungent smells, such as menthol, camphor, etc.

"Isn't it realgar? What is it?"

"this."

Jiang Sining took out a small round box from his pocket, which contained the cooling oil.
