Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

As usual, Mu Xiao and his brothers spent their days in the mountains searching for bamboo shoots, picking mushrooms, and wood ear fungus.

There's one more thing to do: find elm trees and peel off their bark.

Whenever she came across something new or interesting, she would bring it back to Wang Qing'er to see if it was edible.

Mushrooms such as gray mushroom, fire charcoal mushroom, and termite mushroom have already grown.

If we can't sell all the mushrooms we pick each day, we dry them.

She originally wanted to make some mushroom sauce to sell, but she thought it was too much trouble, so she only made a few jars to keep for her family to eat.

Whether you're eating steamed buns or noodles, with mushroom sauce, you can eat more.

Wang Qing'er would stroll around the vegetable garden in the backyard when she had nothing to do.

The garden is full of vegetables and fruits that have already blossomed, and some have even begun to bear fruit.

After a while, we can sell them. These vegetables and fruits are currently unique, so the price will definitely be set high.

She wandered around the garden, touching and looking at things, feeling rather bored.

Standing in the garden looking around, I suddenly saw, "Haha, the back gate isn't locked."

Wang Qing'er quickly grabbed a basket and sneaked out, heading towards the back of the mountain.

She hadn't left the house for over half a month, and she felt like she was going to get moldy.

When her cough got really bad, Mu Nan wouldn't let her leave her little courtyard.

These days she feels like a canary in a cage—or rather, a sparrow!

She's not worthy of being called a canary, haha...

Guided by her memory, she arrived at the mulberry trees she had discovered earlier. Looking up, she saw black and red mulberries everywhere. "Wow, so many are ripe! Luckily, I managed to sneak out."

Wang Qing'er licked her lips, swallowed hard, and her eyes lit up. This was fruit!

In the two months since I arrived here, I've only eaten loquat and cantaloupe.

Oh, I've also eaten goat milk fruit.

In her previous life, she could eat any kind of fruit she wanted, and buy whatever she wanted.

I can eat lots of fruit every day.

She tiptoed and picked a few dark mulberries, examining them closely to see if there were any bugs; they were quite clean.

I couldn't wait and popped one into my mouth. "Mmm! So sweet."

The sweet juice of the mulberry stained her tongue purple!

The mulberry tree trunk was quite tall, and it was too tiring to pick the mulberries while standing on tiptoe. So she simply hung her basket on the tree, climbed up, and sat on the trunk to pick and eat as she went.

"Burp!" Only after she was full did Wang Qing'er pick some mulberry leaves and spread them in her basket before starting to put the mulberries in.

One tree was already half full of mulberries, and there were still some red ones left on the tree that weren't fully ripe yet. We can come back to pick them again in a few days.

Wang Qing'er climbed up the second mulberry tree. Perhaps because the mulberries were ripe, many fell to the ground as the tree swayed, which made her feel a pang of heartache.

From then on, Wang Qing'er moved very carefully, afraid of shaking the mulberries off the ground.

"Qing'er?" Just then, she finished picking the mulberry leaves from the second tree and was about to climb the third when she heard Mu Nan call her.

"Brother Mu Nan, I'm here!" Wang Qing'er responded, then climbed up the mulberry tree to continue picking mulberries.

"Qing'er, come down! I'll go up and pick it for you," Mu Nan quickly reached the tree.

Wang Qing'er refused as she picked the fruit, saying, "No need, I can do it myself!"

Mu Nan coaxed her patiently, "Sweetie, it's dangerous up there, come down quickly."

"If you don't keep bothering me down there, you won't be in danger." Wang Qing'er was getting annoyed by his words; she wasn't a child.

"Wang, Qing, Er..." Mu Nan suddenly raised her voice, calling out each word slowly and deliberately.

"How about that?" Wang Qing'er was not to be outdone, her momentum no less than Mu Nan's.

"Come down quickly."

"I do not."

Mu Nan nimbly climbed up the tree, and perhaps because of the force, the mulberry tree shook incessantly, causing ripe mulberries to fall densely to the ground.

"Mu Nan, you..." Wang Qing'er looked at the fallen mulberries, so angry that she pointed at Mu Nan but couldn't speak, tears streaming down her face.

Mu Nan "..."

Why are you crying? I didn't do anything! I just came up to help you pick them!

Mu Nan sat on the tree in a daze, not knowing what to do, completely unaware that because she had climbed the tree, half of the mulberry trees had fallen.

Wang Qing'er wiped away her tears with her sleeve, hung the basket on a tree branch, jumped down the tree, picked up the basket, and headed home.

Mu Nan was left alone in the tree.

"Qing'er..." Mu Nan jumped down in a flash, and the mulberry tree shook again, and mulberries fell like black raindrops.

Hearing the noise, Wang Qing'er turned around and couldn't help but clench her fists, wishing she could punch that man.

Mu Nan, "Qing'er, aren't you going to pick them?"

"I'll pick you..."

She swallowed the word "Mom" back, and instead said angrily, "Mu Nan, I'm your wife, not your daughter. Can you stop interfering with everything I do?"

"If you're so nosy, don't you have a lot of cousins ​​too? You can go and manage her! She probably likes being managed by you, but please don't manage me!" As Wang Qing'er spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.

"I..." Mu Nan choked.

There were only five mulberry trees. She planned to pick them and make some jam to make tea, but when he arrived, there were hardly any mulberries left on the largest tree.

During this period, she was practically imprisoned in her small courtyard because of a cold. Not only was the back gate locked, but her grandmother and aunt were also made to watch over her in the front.

She had just stepped into the front yard wanting to get some fresh air when her aunt gave her a "well-meaning" lecture, forcing her to return to her own yard.

And Wu Zihan, do you think she has some incurable disease?

Her desire for her husband began to rekindle and stir again!

Not to mention that she has been hanging around Mu Nan from time to time these past few days.

I hadn't eaten in the front yard for a few days, and when I went back, I saw Wu Zihan sitting next to Mu Nan.

Although it wasn't her seat, that seat had always been occupied by Mu Xiao. But Mu Xiao, who was sitting there, moved to sit next to Mu Yan.

Wang Qing'er wiped away her tears, ran back to the backyard, put the basket under the eaves, and went to the front yard.

"Qing'er, what's wrong with you?" The only response she received was Wang Qing'er's departing figure.

Wang Cuiying was weeding in the garden when she noticed that Wang Qing'er seemed unhappy, as if she had been crying. Seeing her son chasing after her, she wondered, "Did they have a fight?"

"Mu Nan, what's wrong? Did you make Qing'er angry?" Wang Cuiying could not call out to her daughter-in-law, but she could call out to her son.

"Mother, I..." Mu Nan didn't know how to tell his mother. On one side was his wife, and on the other side were his grandmother and sister-in-law. His grandmother and sister-in-law had finally reunited. How could he ask them to move out?

"You brat, why are you crying so hard if you didn't upset her? Think carefully about what you did to upset her. Go and comfort her later!"

Wang Cuiying glanced worriedly at her daughter-in-law, who had already disappeared. She didn't want the young couple to have any estrangement; such a good daughter-in-law was hard to find even with a lantern.
