My mother-in-law actually married the prince

After lunch, the sun shone warmly into the courtyard. The children excitedly surrounded Lin Zhixin, their bright eyes filled with anticipation, and they pestered her to tell them stories.

Lin Zhixin looked at the cute children and couldn't bear to refuse, so she agreed with a smile.

She cleared her throat and began to tell today's story, how she became Sun Wukong's apprentice... ...and after completing her studies, she caused havoc in the underworld and tampered with the Book of Life and Death.

Lin Zhixin described the story vividly, as if she herself was in that magical world.

The children listened with fascination, sometimes clenching their fists nervously, sometimes showing expressions of amazement.

After talking for a while, Lin Zhixin remembered that there was still some dried isatis root that needed to be put away.

She stood up and said gently to the children:

"That's all for today, kids. Go play. Grandma is going to put away the dried isatis root." The kids reluctantly left Lin Zhixin's house.

Lin Zhixin walked to the place where the isatis root was drying in the sun and carefully put them away.

After working for a while, she felt a little tired. After all, she was getting older and her energy wasn't what it used to be. Lin Zhixin sighed softly, feeling a little tired, and prepared to go back to her room to sleep for a while.

Lin Zhixin dragged her somewhat tired body back to the room, lay on the bed, and fell asleep in a short while.

In the evening, Lin Zhixin put away the remaining herbs.

Lin Zhixin said to the boss.

Boss, go to the village and see if anyone has a bullock cart to rent. Tomorrow you and I will go to the county to sell the herbs.

When Li Feng heard his mother's words, he immediately stood up and replied respectfully:

"Mom, okay, I'll go now.

Lin Zhixin looked at her sensible son, a gratified smile appeared on her face, and she said gently:

“Okay, I’ve tied up the herbs.

You load it in the car tonight, and we'll go early tomorrow morning. Go to bed early tonight and get enough rest so you can have the energy to deal with it tomorrow."

Li Feng nodded slightly and responded:

"Mom, don't worry. I'll pack the herbs and make sure they don't delay tomorrow's trip. You should get some rest early too."

Lin Zhixin smiled and nodded. Looking at her son's busy figure, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

Li Feng turned to look at his mother, his eyes full of concern.

He said in a gentle voice: "Mom, if you don't know where to sell these herbs.

When we get to the county town, why don't we ask Lao San? Lao San works as a waiter in a restaurant in the county, so he must be well-informed there. Maybe he can show us a way.

That's a good feeling.

Li Feng smiled lightly and continued, "Mom, the third child is smart and works in a restaurant where people come and go, so he must have made a lot of acquaintances.

He can definitely give us some good advice so that you can sell the herbs you have worked so hard to pick at a good price.

Lin Zhixin nodded and said, "Well, I hope so."

At night, the moonlight shone on the courtyard, making it seem particularly peaceful. Li Feng carefully loaded the herbs into the carriage one by one, his movements gentle and skillful.

He checked from time to time whether the bundles were secure to ensure that the herbs would not be damaged during transportation.

After loading the medicinal materials, Li Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the full truck of medicinal materials, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

After returning to the house, Li Feng followed his mother's instructions, washed up early, and lay down on the bed.

"The next morning, when it was still dark, Lin Zhixin and Li Feng drove an ox cart to the county town.

As they watched the ancient scenery unfold, Lin Zhixin marveled at how environmentally friendly the ancient times were. The air was completely different from what it is today.

At noon, they arrived at the gate of the county town. The bustling streets and bustling crowds made them feel the vitality of the county town.

Li Feng brought his mother and asked about the location of the restaurant where the third brother was while politely communicating with passers-by.

Soon, they found the restaurant where Lao San worked. Seeing Lao San busy in the restaurant, Li Feng excitedly called out, "Lao San!"

The third brother turned around when he heard the sound, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he hurried over.

"Brother, Mom, why are you here?" asked the third brother.

Li Feng explained:

"We need to ask you something. Mom picked some herbs and doesn't know where to sell them. You're familiar with the county, so could you give us some advice?"

The third brother frowned and thought for a moment, then said:

"I do know a few places where I can buy medicinal herbs. Come on, I'll take you there.

Wait a moment, I'll go say hello to the shopkeeper.

The third brother went into the restaurant, asked the owner for some leave, and then came out trotting.

"Led by the third brother, they walked towards the place where the medicinal herbs were collected.

The ox cart turned many corners and finally stopped deep in an alley.

In front of me is a house that looks quite shabby. There is a plaque on the door. The color has faded, but the three big characters "Jishi Tang" can still be clearly seen.

Lin Zhixin and Li Feng looked at each other, feeling both uneasy about the unknown and holding a glimmer of hope.
