After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

After dinner, Wang pulled Zhang Hulan aside and asked, "Ni'er, how's your head injury? Did you see a doctor when you went to town today?"

Zhang Hulan touched her head, her scalp aching. It was so hot, and she was worried about inflammation, but she had forgotten to see a doctor that morning.

Zhang Hulan said, "It's okay, Mom. I'm going to the city tomorrow. I'll ask the doctor to check me out."

Wang stuffed the three taels of silver into Zhang Hulan's pocket and said, "Keep it for yourself. I'll pay you back at home."

"Mom, you keep it. Daya and I are living and eating at home anyway, so just consider it as food money."

"Your father told you to keep it, so he won't get angry again."

Zhang Hulan took the silver, thinking that at worst she could use it all to buy food tomorrow.

Except for Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Wang, all the other members of the Zhang family went out again with sickles and hoes.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Zhang Hulan pointed to a thin vine on the side of the road and said to the children, "See this? It's sea sand. There's yellow powder on the back of the leaves. Cut it if you like."

Then he found a plantain and said, "This is a plantain. Dig it up with the roots."

"This is Prunella Vulgaris, also dug up with the roots."

Then she added, "You all know cicadas, right? There are cicada shells on the trees. You can poke them off with a stick and sell them for money."

"Can cicada shells be sold for money?" Li asked.

"Yes, the mountains are full of treasures. It just depends on whether we can find them."

"Sister-in-law, you and Dahua and Daya can go to the foot of the mountain to look for the herbs I mentioned. My brother, Xiaojun and I will go up the mountain."

Li nodded, "Then you should be careful."

Zhang Hulan, Zhang Hujun, and Zhang Xiaojun walked into the mountains. Zhang Hujun said, "Sister, you've really changed a lot."

Zhang Hulan's heart skipped a beat. "Oh shit, won't someone find out?"

Zhang Hujun continued, "They say a mother is strong, and I believe it. Your sister-in-law has changed a lot since she first married me. You must have suffered a lot over the years, right?"

Zhang Hulan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "For the sake of my children, I have to hold on no matter how hard it is."

"You too, you don't come back even when you have something to do. Dad has a bad temper, but he still cares about you in his heart. He is just too strong-willed."

"But now everything is fine. I'm back. From now on, we can live a good life together as a family and be filial to our parents."

"As for you, you don't have to worry about not getting married in the future. Although you don't have a son, Xiaojun will be your son in the future. Let him take care of you in your old age."

Zhang Hulantuan asked, "Brother, what's going on with Hu Bing and his wife? Mother seems to have something against them."

Zhang Hujun remained silent.

Zhang Hulan said, "Brother, I live at home now too. You have to tell me what's going on at home. How did Hu Bing and his wife make mother angry?"

Zhang Hujun sighed, then said, "The second son didn't marry the right wife."

With just this one sentence, Zhang Hulan roughly understood what was going on.

Zhang Hujun continued, "Ever since the second son got married, his wife has been taking things from home to her parents' home every few days.

At first, my parents didn't say anything. After all, since I was newly married, it wouldn't be a big deal if I visited my parents more often.

But when the second son's wife saw that her parents didn't say anything, she became even more excessive.

At first, I would bring back a few cabbages, then eggs, and later I would bring bags of food from home to my mother's house.

Later, her parents couldn't help but say a few words to her. As a result, the second son's wife ran back to her parents' home and said that her parents bullied her.

The second son is also a good-for-nothing. After he got a wife, he forgot about his parents and listened to his wife in everything.

When the second son's wife ran back to her parents' home, he followed her to the Xiang family. He stayed there and never came back, working for the Xiang family every day.

Later, my mother went to call them back in person.

My father broke his leg some time ago and the family was in financial difficulty. When the second son heard that his father-in-law had caught a cold, he immediately ran over.

Dad broke his leg, but I’ve never seen him take it so seriously.

Dad didn't say it, but I know he must be sad in his heart."

Zhang Hujun was also furious. This second brother was too unreasonable. If you didn't know him, you would think his surname was Xiang.

Zhang Hulan said, "Hu Bing acted like this, and you didn't say anything to him?"

"Why didn't you tell me? I've told him several times, but he doesn't listen. Whenever I tell him, he says his wife's family has a hard time too, so what's wrong with helping them a little more?"

Zhang Hulan snorted, "Hmph... Wait until he comes back and see how I deal with him."

Zhang Hujun said, "Big sister, don't say anything. Your situation is different now. If you say anything to him, he might even say something unpleasant to you."

"It's okay, brother. Wait until they come back and see how I deal with them. If they dare not be filial to their parents, I think they will rebel."

Zhang Hujun didn't say anything else. He also wanted to deal with Zhang Hubing.

"Brother..." Zhang Hulan suddenly shouted again.

Zhang Hujun turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Hulan said, "Brother, I won't live with my parents for a long time."

When Zhang Hujun was about to speak, Zhang Hulan continued, "Brother, don't be angry. I didn't mean anything else."

"I've also thought about it. It's not suitable for me to live at home for a long time. Xiaojun will get married in the future. What will it mean for me to live with my three children?"

"I've made up my mind. When I make some money, I'll build a house in the village and set up a daughter's household. I'll also support my parents and won't let my eldest brother bear the burden alone."

"As for Tiger Soldier, we don't count on him. As long as he doesn't make our parents angry again, that's all that's fine."

"You..." Zhang Hujun was a little angry.

"Brother, what I said yesterday was not a joke. I really want to find sons-in-law for Daya and the other two. At least they won't be too far away from me, so I must build a house for them."

Zhang Hujun felt depressed, "Go talk to your parents yourself..."

……

"Brother, here..."

Zhang Hulan pointed at a vine not far away and shouted.

Zhang Hujun asked, "What is this?"

"Polygonum multiflorum, dig it up quickly."

Zhang Hujun threw aside what he had said to Zhang Hulan before and immediately picked up his hoe to dig up the things that could be sold.

After a few tries, they dug out a few things with black-brown skin.

This Polygonum multiflorum plant is not very old and is only the size of a fist.

Zhang Xiaojun picked one up and looked at it again and again, "Auntie, can this thing really be sold for money?"

Zhang Hulan nodded, "Of course."

"How much does this one cost? Is this edible?"

Zhang Hulan quickly said, "You can't eat this. It's poisonous."

"It's poisonous?" Zhang Xiaojun quickly threw away the Polygonum multiflorum in his hand. "How can you sell it if it's poisonous?"

"It's poisonous when it's raw, but it becomes medicine after it's processed," Zhang Hulan said. "Do you think the medicine you take isn't poisonous? All medicine is toxic, but as long as it's used properly, it can be used to treat illnesses."

"Oh, you know so much, little aunt!"

After two days back home, this was the first time Zhang Xiaojun took the initiative to talk to Zhang Hulan, and it was also the time he talked the most.

Next, Zhang Hulan was responsible for finding the vines of Polygonum multiflorum, while Zhang Hujun and Zhang Xiaojun were responsible for digging.

Some that grow in the soil are easier to dig, but some that grow in the cracks of rocks are more difficult to deal with.
