Transmigrated into a Farmhouse: The Stepmother Spoils Her Child to the Heavens

Gu Zhan looked at Lin Cai without saying a word, his meaning clearly asking, 'Then what are you doing here?'

"You brought the things up the mountain for me, I can't keep them all to myself. This is good stuff, it'll be good for your wounds too, so cherish it."

Lin Cai pointed to the yams on the table, finished speaking, and then left.

Gu Zhan watched her departing figure until she was out of sight before closing the door.

Lin Cai had only gone halfway when Lin Bao came towards her and circled around her: "Tell me honestly, where did you just go?"

"You went for a walk, what happened? Is there a problem?"

"Where did you go for a stroll? And with whom did you go?"

Lin Cai stopped and looked at Lin Bao: "Third Brother, what is your relationship with Gu Zhan?"

"Oh dear, little sister, I've already taken all the food to your house. Let's hurry back and cook, I'm starving."

The brother and sister both had secrets, and neither was willing to tell the other. Lin Bao didn't press further, and Lin Cai decided to let him off the hook.

The yams were all brought back, and Lin Cai used them to make pastries, but this time she didn't use the flour she had purchased herself.

Instead, he sent Lin Bao to town to buy two bags of refined flour.

While making pastries, Lin Cai called over Huani and Xiaochunhua, and the two of them stood by, listening and watching.

"Hua Ni, you and Da Chui are already married, and you will have your own home in the future. Having a skill is not a bad thing for you."

"I'll do it now, and you can learn from me. Once you've learned it, you can do it when I'm too busy."

"Little Chunhua is the same. She should just sit quietly by and watch, and slowly learn until she can help, okay?"

The little girl nodded, indicating that she would learn seriously. In the following process, the two of them were very focused, especially when Lin Cai was making the last batch.

Lin Cai let Huani try it herself. Huani wasn't confident at first, but when she actually started, Lin Cai found that she did very well.

The girl was just too thin, practically skin and bones, but she was incredibly hardworking and helpful.

After a busy day, having steamed three batches of pastries, Lin Cai got up before dawn the next day to prepare to take Gu Dachui to town.

This time, Lin Cai handed over the stall to Gu Dachui to sell pastries. Now that he's married, he has to take on the responsibility of supporting his family, otherwise how will he raise his children in the future?

After handing over the stall to him, Lin Cai went straight to the pharmacy. Besides yams, she also saw other things on the mountain that day.

It was just that it was always kept under the basket, so no one saw it or knew about it.

Upon arriving at the pharmacy, Lin Cai saw an old man sitting there, so she walked over and sat down in front of him.

"Hand out."

Lin Cai did as he was told. The old man squinted and placed his hand on Lin Cai's wrist. After a while, the old man looked at Lin Cai.

"The young lady doesn't have any serious illness. She just needs to eat better, and her body can recover. There's no need for her to come here to get medicine."

"I'm not here to get medicine; I'm here to sell medicine."

She took something out of her arms and placed it directly in front of the old man: "Sir, how much is this worth?"

The item was wrapped in a very rough cloth. When the old man opened it and couldn't see what was inside, he was so angry that his eyes almost popped out.

"Ignorant girl, ignorant girl, what a waste! What a waste! Such good medicine, how could it be treated like this? It's truly..."

Under Lin Caiyou's gaze, the old man couldn't continue speaking. He carefully took out the thing wrapped in cloth.

He looked as if he had seen some rare treasure. And it makes sense; how could a doctor not cherish a medicinal herb that can cure diseases and save lives?

Lin Cai was speechless at the old man's cautious behavior. It was just a blood ginseng, after all.

Is it really necessary to be so cautious?

However, this blood ginseng was indeed a bit strange, because it was really too big. When Lin Cai first dug it out, she thought it was a yam.

They dug through half the mud only to find out it wasn't what they expected.

The old man stared at the blood ginseng for a long time, reluctant to put it down, so Lin Cai simply grabbed it.

"Do you want me to say something? If not, I'll go to another place."

"Of course I want it, little girl, name your price."

"Sir, aren't you afraid I'll ask for an exorbitant price if you let me name one?"

The old man smiled and said, "Of course I'm not afraid. If I were, I wouldn't be saying this to you."

He said that entirely because what the girl brought was worth that price; no matter how much the girl wanted, this one snow ginseng was worth that price.

Lin Cai didn't know the market price or what was appropriate, so she didn't speak for a long time. After seeing this, the old gentleman took the initiative to quote a price.

What do you think of this number?

Lin Cai was somewhat surprised to see the hand that was waving, and then looked at what the old man was holding.

She only glanced at it, but the old man thought she was going to change her mind and not sell it anymore, which scared him so much that he quickly covered it with a cloth.

"I've already given you the price, and you said you wanted to sell, so you can't go back on your word."

"Who told you I was going to back out? Besides, I haven't even taken your money yet, and the things are still mine. Can't I even take a look at my own things?"

Five hundred taels of silver is already a lot of money, and besides, she probably wouldn't have much use for the blood ginseng if she kept it herself.

Thinking of what was frozen in her refrigerator, Lin Cai nodded and agreed to the price.

When Lin Cai received the silver notes, she was still a little dazed. Before, she could only sell pastries for a maximum of one or two taels of silver, but now a single blood ginseng was worth five hundred taels.

One is for commoners, the other for nobles—the difference is truly...

Lin Cai sold a blood ginseng without telling anyone. When she went to find Gu Dachui, Gu Dachui was almost closing up shop.

She told Gu Dachui to go back first, and then went to the dark alley on the other side by herself.

As soon as she reached the alley entrance, she smelled a strong odor, and Lin Cai pinched her nose and went inside.

"Oh my, whose little sister is this? What are you doing here? Did you come to play with your brother?"

"You bald-headed bastard, I think you want to eat shit. How could such a pretty girl come looking for you? She's clearly here to see me."

"You damn dog egg, how much better do you think you are? You still have the nerve to talk to me like that."

Seeing that they were arguing, Lin Cai pinched her nose and continued walking forward, while the people behind her continued arguing as they followed.

After walking for a while, Lin Cai couldn't take it anymore and stopped. Then she heard someone behind her exclaim "Oh!"

Then another heated argument ensued. Lin Cai turned to them and looked at them expressionlessly: "Shut up."
