Now he has nothing. Even if Shen Ci is a soldier, the benefits he will get will be shared by the whole family. Of course he is not happy.

"Yes, Auntie, if she marries so far away, I won't be able to help if anything happens at home. I heard from you that you have already received the betrothal gifts. If she doesn't marry there, the betrothal gifts will have to be returned. It will be such a pity." Jiang Mei said regretfully.

Zhang Lan also felt heartbroken when she heard this.

"There's no way. This good marriage is destined not to belong to us." Zhang Lan said cruelly.

"If I had parents like you who were willing to travel thousands of miles to take me back to the city, I would definitely be grateful and treat them well for the rest of my life.

Gu Qian’s ideas may be different from ours.”

After hearing this, Zhang Lan's eyes moved around and she looked at Jiang Mei again. Although this girl was not as pretty as her own Gu Qian, she was still pretty, and she had the advantage of being a virgin.

And this person seemed to have this meaning in his words, "Meimei, Auntie likes you too. You are such a good girl, and you really suffer staying in the countryside.

"If I had the right person, I would definitely find you a date. Unfortunately, although the guys in the city are good, there aren't many who can bring you back to the city." Zhang Lan said with regret.

"Yeah, if I could go back to the city, I wouldn't mind anyone." Jiang Mei said with regret. "It's a pity I'm not as lucky as Gu Qian. Even after Gu Qian got married, she was still popular. But no one cares about me."

Zhang Lan was a sharp person. She understood what he meant the moment she heard it. Thinking about the rumors at home about Li Weiguo finding another partner, she thought it would be best if she could introduce him to someone else. This way, she could also dispel these rumors. "Well, Gu Qian won't have this blessing. Auntie will go back and mention it to see if he's willing to date you. How about this, let's take a photo together and I'll take it back to show him, okay?"

"Auntie, is this really necessary? That's so embarrassing." Jiang Mei was secretly delighted. She felt that she was better than Gu Qian, and it was inevitable that he would fall in love with her.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough." Zhang Lan patted Jiang Mei's hand.

"Okay, then I'll shamelessly agree to it, Auntie. If I can really take this opportunity to return to the city, then you will be my godmother, and the betrothal gift will be my filial piety to you." Jiang Mei quickly promised.

"Okay, okay, let's go and take some pictures." The three of them walked towards the commune together.

Gu Youzhi, who was originally dissatisfied, suddenly became happy when he heard that he might not have to return the money.

Gu Qian on this side had no idea about the three people's tricks. After they left, he comforted the old couple of the Shen family and said that he was just trying to scare them.

After she repeatedly assured them that she would never do such dangerous things, the old couple let her go and went about their own business.

Seeing the two children having fun in the yard, Gu Qian turned around, took a pen and paper and started writing a letter to Shen Ci.

After explaining the family situation and telling the other party not to pay attention to the Gu family, the letter came to an end.

I read it through and there were no problems.

"There's just one thing, this is as emotionless as the report you wrote before." Xiaoqiang reminded Gu Qian in his mind.

"There was no feeling in the first place." Blushing and heartbeating are just the result of hormones. They are gone once the person is gone.

Thinking this in his mind, Gu Qian still added a few words of greeting at the end.

I don’t know how long I will have to stay on the same book in the future, so I should maintain a better relationship so that I will have less trouble in the future.

Put the letter in the envelope and have Shen Yue take it to the county town to mail it tomorrow.

"Kids, I'm going to the mountains to pick herbs. Do you two want to go?" Gu Qian went out and asked the two little guys in the yard.

"I don't want to go. I want to play in the mud with my sister." Zhizhi was excited to have a new friend. She lined up the mud dolls she had made before and started introducing them to each other.

"Where's Xiaoyu?"

"Play with my brother." Xiaoyu didn't want to go out either.

"Okay, go ahead. I'll look after them both at home. Don't go into the mountains. Just walk around the perimeter of the mountain." Shen An, who was busy nearby, spoke.

"Okay, Dad, I'll leave them to you." Gu Qian walked towards the mountain with the basket on his back.

Wild boars were discovered in the mountains before, and more people have gone into the mountains to try their luck in the past two days.

There is not much work now, and the work points are few. If you encounter a wild boar in the mountains, it will be more than a day's work points. Even if you don't encounter a wild boar, digging some wild vegetables and picking some mushrooms is also very good.

So there is no danger at all when going up the mountain. There is only one person every 5 steps and a group of people every 10 steps.

Gu Qian wanted to pick some herbs but his eyesight was poor and he couldn't see anything at all, so everyone had dug up all the edible herbs.

When he reached halfway up the mountain, Gu Qian had only harvested a small basket of poisonous herbs.

"Gu Qian, what are you digging up? They are all inedible!" Aunt Cai, who lives next door to Gu Qian, went up the mountain to collect firewood today. When she passed by Gu Qian, she was startled by the things in her basket, and then she looked at the poisonous weed that Gu Qian was picking up.

If this basket of poisonous weeds were brought back, not only Gu Qian's family, but everyone in the village could be brought down.

"Aunt Cai, don't worry, I'm not eating them myself." Gu Qian didn't expect that someone in the village could recognize these things. Just now, several people passed by her and told her that these things were not delicious.

But this is the only one that is poisonous.

Cai Rongtian was shocked. "If you don't eat it yourself, who will you feed it to? Don't do anything stupid, kid. Although your mother wants you to divorce, don't your mother-in-law and father-in-law disagree?"

"Aunt Cai, what are you thinking about? I'm using this as medicine. After processing and neutralization, it can be used to cure diseases and save lives." Gu Qian explained.

"Are you a Chinese medicine doctor?" Cai Rongtian asked after a moment of surprise.

"I have some understanding of both Chinese and Western medicine."

"Oh, do you want some herbs? I have some at home." Cai Rongtian said in a low voice.

"Aunt Cai, do you know anything about herbs?" Gu Qian didn't expect that there was someone around him who knew about this.

"My grandfather from my mother's side used to be an apprentice in a Chinese medicine shop. After the unrest, he came back to farm. I know a lot of Chinese medicinal herbs and have learned some preparation techniques. It's just that the commune didn't collect them, so I just made some for fun." Cai Rongtian said in a low voice.

All the knowledge she knew was secretly taught to them by her grandfather. She originally thought that it would be a skill when she grew up and could be useful at first. However, she didn't know that there were no Chinese medicine practitioners in the commune in recent years, and the skill was no longer useful.

"Oh, that's great. I don't have any Western medicine, and I'm also short of Chinese medicine. Can you help me collect herbs in the future? I'll pay you." Gu Qian said happily. Although she is a Chinese medicine practitioner, she didn't have many opportunities to collect herbs herself in her previous life.

Even if she went up the mountain to collect herbs in this life, she would just collect whatever she came across. Going out of her way to find herbs was not something she was good at.

Professional herbalists know the locations of many medicinal herbs that are unknown to the public. Gu Qian believes that professional matters should be left to professionals.
