After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

In the afternoon, Jiang Xiaohe followed him into the mountain, carrying a basket in her hand.

Zhang Fu handed her a sickle and said, "When you get to the mountains, be careful of snakes. Use this to protect yourself."

"Thank you dad."

Zhang Fu walked in front and Jiang Xiaohe followed behind. It rained last night and the mountain road was not easy to walk on. As soon as he entered the mountain, Zhang Fu picked up firewood everywhere. The firewood was a little wet, but there was no other way. One bundle of firewood could be sold for two cents in the town. He picked up two bundles and brought them back, and dried them at home. He could get four cents in exchange for them in the town tomorrow, which was enough to buy half a pound of coarse grains. If he was a little frugal, it would be enough for his family to eat for two days.

As soon as Jiang Xiaohe entered the mountain, she started looking. She was also a child from the mountains in her previous life. She knew that those things could be exchanged for silver. And if they couldn't be exchanged for silver, it would also be good to find something to eat. The Zhang family was too poor now. If they continued like this, the family would starve to death sooner or later.

Jiang Xiaohe searched carefully. It was very hot and stuffy in the mountains, and there were many mosquitoes. But after a round, she really didn't find anything useful, not even a wild fruit tree.

He sighed a little, found a place to sit down, looked around, and thought about what to do next and how to make money. He sighed in his heart: "It's really hard for a good cook to cook without rice!"

After resting for a while, he stood up again, encouraged himself, and saw a lot of wild onions not far away, so he ran over and started digging with a sickle, muttering: "If it doesn't work, there will be a market tomorrow anyway, so I can dig some wild vegetables and sell them in town."

I just don’t know if the people in this town will spend money to buy wild vegetables.

After digging a basket of wild onions, she was motivated and started looking for other things.

From a distance, I saw a cluster of wild sweet potato vines on the ground, which were the same ones I had seen on the mountain when I was a child. I hoped for a lucky break, so I quickly pulled them apart with my hands to take a look.

When he opened the basket and saw the red fruits underneath, he finally smiled. Suddenly, he felt that the wild onions in the basket were no longer fragrant.

With this fruit, who would still sell wild onions?

Quickly pour out the wild onions.

He picked another banana leaf from the side and spread it in the basket.

I first tasted a wild sweet potato. It tasted very sweet, exactly the same as the one I ate when I was a child.

Then he put the sweet potatoes into the basket one by one, very carefully, for fear that they would be damaged and difficult to sell.

This patch of sweet potato vines was so dense that she had to fill a basket but she wasn't done yet. After thinking for a while, she quickly tied up the wild onions and placed them on the surface of the basket to cover the sweet potatoes. Then she turned around and found Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu had already tied up a bundle of firewood.

"Dad, I found something good." He took a handful from the basket and handed it to Zhang Fu.

"This is wild sweet potato, it tastes like fruit."

Zhang Fu looked at the handfuls of fruits in his hand, thinking that she was greedy, so he didn't say anything and handed them back to her: "Since they look like fruits, you can eat them yourself, don't give them to me."

Jiang Xiaohe shook her head: "Dad, try some, there are still a lot over there. I have filled a basket here. I want to go home first, bring a small basket, pick more, and sell them in town tomorrow."

When he heard that it was going to be sold, Zhang Fu looked at the wild sweet potato in his hand and asked: "Can this thing be sold?" After all, in his eyes, this thing did not look good.

"Of course I can. Dad, I'll go back first and come back later."

Zhang Fu wanted to hand the handful back to her, but he saw that the person had left. When he heard Jiang Xiaohe say that it could be sold, he was even more reluctant to eat it. Just as he was about to put it in his bag, he saw Jiang Xiaohe turned around and said, "Dad, this thing can't be squeezed. If you put it in your bag, it will go bad if it touches it."

Zhang Fu was suddenly in a dilemma as to whether to eat or not, as Jiang Xiaohe had already left.

Suddenly he felt that his daughter-in-law had really become a different person, just as his husband had said. Never mind. If she was going to go bad, he might as well eat her.

I wiped off the little bit of mud on the sweet potato and put it in my mouth. My eyes lit up. This thing is indeed as sweet as fruit.

Jiang Xiaohe was carrying a basket back home. On the way, she met some villagers. They looked at the things in her basket with wide eyes. Seeing that they were just a few bunches of wild onions, they didn't ask any more questions: "Xiaohe, you went to the mountains."

Jiang Xiaohe responded with a smile: "Yes, Aunt Wu."

When she got home, Wang Qiuxia was mending clothes in the yard. When she saw her come back, she immediately stood up and said, "You're back so soon. I'll go get you some water."

As soon as Jiang Xiaohe returned home, she closed the gate.

Wang Qiuxia handed her a bowl of water.

Jiang Xiaohe drank it all in one gulp.

"Mom, I found something good in the mountains."

As she spoke, she moved the wild onions off the basket, revealing the bright red fruits inside.

"This is?"

"This is a wild sweet potato, mother. Try one. It's just like the fruit on the tree, very sweet."

Wang Qiuxia wanted to refuse, but Jiang Xiaohe had already put the fruit into her mouth. The moment she bit the fruit open, Wang Qiuxia nodded immediately: "It's really sweet."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "There are still a lot on the mountain. I'll go find some more and bring them back. I'll sell them in town tomorrow and buy some meat for our family."

Wang Qiuxia thought she wanted to eat meat, and she felt guilty: "It's been so long since you gave birth to your child, besides the confinement period..."

Until she thought about it too much, Jiang Xiaohe hurriedly explained: "Mom, I want to buy meat to sell to you and Dad. When Dashan was alive, you were in such good health, but now... after all, it's my fault that I didn't take good care of you." At the end, she sighed slightly.

Wang Qiuxia was deeply moved after hearing this. She turned around and wiped her tears silently: "Mom will get you a backpack."

Jiang Xiaohe simply wanted to give herself a Magnolia Award!

Seeing Wang Qiuxia go to get the backpack, he put down his things and went into the house to take a look at the baby. He saw a bowl next to the baby with some rice soup left in it. He guessed that the baby woke up and Wang Qiuxia fed him.

Wang Qiuxia took out the backpack and saw Jiang Xiaohe coming out of the house: "Chuan'er just woke up, I fed him some rice soup, you don't have to worry."

"I won't worry as long as my mother is here."

As he said this, he put on the backpack and went out.

I ran into Wu Youhua on the road again. I was surprised to see her carrying a backpack. "You're going up the mountain again. What good stuff is there on the mountain that you have to go back and forth so many times?"

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and replied, "Aunt Wu is really good at joking. If there are any good things on the mountain, how could you not know about them? I just saw that it rained yesterday and some wild vegetables grew on the mountain. I thought of picking more and seeing if I can take them to the town to sell tomorrow."

After saying that, he continued walking forward.

Wu Youhua snorted: "Why are you so arrogant? Do you think your Zhang family is still the same as before? A jinx!"

But when I thought about the Zhang family having to pick wild vegetables to sell, I felt like they wouldn’t be able to make ends meet.

He said nonchalantly: "If you have money, you can't buy the ones grown in the fields. Who would buy these free wild vegetables?"
