The Shen family has made a lot of money from purchasing wild vegetables these days, and Old Man Shen is so happy that he walks with a breeze. The food at home has improved, and everyone in the Shen family has gained some flesh on their faces and is no longer so skinny.

When people in the village saw that the Shen family had become rich, they said all kinds of things about them.

Old Mrs. Zeng pouted at Old Mrs. Shen's back and said with a face full of jealousy:

"Shen Lao San goes to town every day. I don't know what kind of fortune he made outside. Shen Lao Mazi also looks so proud. Who knows, maybe one day his whole family will go to jail."

Old Lady Li standing by couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Old Lady Zeng, why are you cursing him every day? Old Third Shen goes to the county town every day to sell wild vegetables. It's only natural that his family can make money."

There was a hint of viciousness in Zeng Laozi's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"What money did he make? It's all our hard-earned money. You're the only ones who are stupid enough to sell the wild vegetables to their family. You idiots, why don't you know to sell them in the county? Let the Shen family make so much money."

After hearing what Zeng said, Mrs. Li's eyes rolled, and then she slapped her thigh and said with sudden enlightenment: "Yes! Why didn't I think of it? You are really smart, old woman."

After saying this, without further delay, Old Lady Li hurried back to her home.

Old Lady Zeng looked at Old Lady Li's back, her eyes flashing with gloating as if her conspiracy had succeeded.

Shen Mingzhu carried a backpack and took Zhong, Shen Mingshan, Shen Mingbao and others to Phoenix Mountain.

In the past few days, she exchanged several bottles of Hercules liquid from the system and quietly poured them into the water tank at home. The strength of everyone in the Shen family has increased a lot without them noticing.

Even Mrs. Zhong felt very strange as to why her strength suddenly increased. Old Mrs. Shen said it might be because the food at home had improved.

Zhong didn't think much about it, she just felt more motivated to work now.

Zhong was very excited to be able to go up the mountain with Shen Mingzhu to collect herbs today. From today on, she would be able to make money on her own.

God knows how good it feels to have money after getting married and not have to ask your husband for money.

Zhong deeply understood one thing: women, whether married or not, must be able to make money on their own.

Even at your own parents' home, you will be bullied if you don't make money, not to mention how humiliating it is at your husband's home if you don't make money.

As she thought about it, Mrs. Zhong looked at Shen Mingzhu who was walking in front of her, her heart filled with gratitude.

A few people climbed up the mountain, and Shen Mingzhu came to a patch of honeysuckle, pointed at it and said to them:

"This is honeysuckle, a traditional Chinese medicine. You can pick the flower buds and sell them for money."

Shen Mingshan was the first to ask: "Is this wild flower a traditional Chinese medicine? Which traveling merchant would buy honeysuckle?"

Shen Mingzhu nodded and said, "That traveling merchant not only bought Chinese medicinal herbs, but also gave my father a book about Chinese medicinal herbs. We will study together after we go back."

"By the way, the Chinese medicinal herbs in the mountains are not only purchased by traveling merchants, but also by the county's medicine shops, but the purchase prices are somewhat different. If we all pick them together, we won't have to worry about not being able to sell them."

Thinking of the good days ahead, Shen Mingshan smiled brightly and said, "That's good, that's good. Let's pick more honeysuckle and make more money."

He hurried to the honeysuckle, put down his backpack, and picked the flowers quickly.

Zhong and Shen Mingbao also picked honeysuckle quickly, but Shen Mingyu sat on a stone, pinching her feet and getting angry:

"Sister, you guys can just pick the fruits, why do you want me to do it? I'm so tired, my feet are swollen and hurt."

Shen Mingzhu walked up to Shen Mingyu, grabbed Shen Mingyu's clothes, and brought him to Jin Yinhua, warning him: "Don't pretend, I tell you, don't try to dodge in the future."

"My feet really hurt. I'm so tired after climbing the mountain for so long. You're going too far."

Shen Mingyu held his mouth and was about to cry. He felt really wronged. His sister used to love him the most and never let him do anything. Why was she treating him like this now?

Shen Mingzhu would not indulge him: "Why are you tired, man? I am not tired, Mingbao is not tired, why are you complaining about being tired?"

"I'm telling you, Shen Mingyu, even if you die, you have to work hard for me and don't think about being lazy all day."

Shen Mingyu glared at Shen Mingzhu angrily and looked at Shen Mingzhu for a moment. He was no match for Shen Mingzhu's sharp eyes, so he gave up the idea of ​​resisting. He could only pick up the basket beside him with a sad face and start picking honeysuckle.

Shen Mingzhu looked at the reluctant Shen Mingyu and yelled, "Hurry up, you're dawdling!"

Shen Mingyu shuddered and moved much faster.

Looking at the busy figures of the crowd, Shen Mingzhu recalled her internship as a junior in her previous life.

At that time, she had just entered a company as an intern and was suppressed by her supervisor and colleagues.

Not only did her colleagues give their own work to Shen Mingzhu, they also often bullied her. Once, Shen Mingzhu worked for three days and three nights in a row, sleeping only three hours a day and was as tired as a dog. On the fourth day, she worked until after ten o'clock in the evening, but she couldn't finish the work and wanted to take a nap, but was caught by her supervisor and scolded.

At that time, Shen Mingzhu cried out of grievance. When had she ever been so tired? When had she ever suffered such grievance?

The supervisor ignored her emotions and pointed at her nose and yelled:

"Why are you crying? I have to finish my work even if I die."

Since then, Shen Mingzhu remembered this incident for the rest of her life. It changed her attitude and made her stronger and more capable.

"Zhuzhu, I heard there are tigers in Phoenix Mountain. Will we encounter any tigers?"

Zhong's voice interrupted Shen Mingzhu's thoughts. She came back to her senses and said, "Don't be afraid, Second Auntie. As long as we don't go into the mountains, it will be fine. Besides, people in our Shen family are born with supernatural powers. Even if a tiger comes, we don't have to be afraid."

"Roar!"

As soon as Shen Mingzhu finished speaking, a deafening tiger roar suddenly sounded, which terrified the Zhong group.

Zhong's body trembled involuntarily, "Mingzhu, tiger! There really is a tiger, we have to run!"

They hurriedly picked up the backpacks and baskets on the ground, intending to escape, but found that their legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and they could hardly move at all.

"Roar——" The tiger's roar was getting closer and closer. Shen Mingzhu felt a heart-pounding gaze fixed on her, and a dangerous breath was blowing in her face.

She quickly grabbed Shen Mingyu's hand and anxiously called out to Zhong: "Run away, Brother Mingshan, forget about the backpack, take Second Aunt and Mingbao and run!"

Shen Mingzhu moved quickly, "You guys hurry up, Mingyu, follow me, I'll be the rear guard!"

Zhong was so frightened that her face turned pale. She grabbed Shen Mingbao's hand and ran down the mountain with all her might, regardless of the rugged and slippery mountain road. Even if she fell, she would immediately get up and continue running.

Shen Mingshan looked around. The movement in the bushes and the terrifying tiger eyes made his legs go weak, but he held the sickle tightly and said to Shen Mingzhu with forced calmness:

"Mingzhu, Mingyu, hurry up and leave. I'll lead the tiger away."

He knew that the tiger had locked onto them and that someone had to stay behind as bait. Although he was filled with fear of death, he was more reluctant to let his younger siblings get hurt.

Tears welled up in his eyes, but he still urged Mingzhu to escape.

Shen Mingzhu stared at the huge monster lurking in the bushes. The tiger's ferocious eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, which made her shudder.

The tiger's huge body and sharp fangs made her think of the tragic scene of the tiger hunting. The horror of the tiger made her heart beat faster and she broke out in a cold sweat.

Shen Mingzhu felt the strength of Shen Mingyu's grip on her arm, and both of them were trembling.

She was just an ordinary person in her previous life and this life, and she was instinctively afraid when she saw a hungry tiger.

Shen Mingzhu tried to stay calm while urgently discussing countermeasures with the system in her mind. The system quickly provided multiple response plans, which made her feel a little relieved. As long as Shen Mingshan and Shen Mingyu could escape safely, she believed that she would also have a chance to escape this crisis.

So, she said to Shen Mingyu firmly: "Third cousin, you take Mingyu away first, I will find a way to deal with this tiger."

"Mingyu, hurry up, you and your third cousin must leave immediately!"
