Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

Li Mo'er returned home with a basket on her back and saw Su Yanli still tidying up the house, with freshly washed clothes hanging in the yard.

He seems to never be idle; he's either busy or on his way to be busy.

She washed the hawthorns from the basket and brought them inside to hand to Su Yanli.

Su Yanli looked at the hawthorns in front of him and even stopped wiping the table. He hadn't expected that Li Mo'er would still think of him when she went out to collect herbs.

He rubbed his hands on his clothes, wanting to take the hawthorn from her hand, but Li Mo'er pulled her hand back.

Su Yanli stared at her blankly. Was this not for him?

Li Mo'er picked up a piece and held it to Su Yanli's lips, "I'll feed you."

Under Li Mo'er's burning gaze, Su Yanli blushed and took a small bite.

"How about it?"

Su Yanli was so busy blushing that she didn't even taste it. She just lowered her head shyly and said, "It's very sweet."

Li Mo'er can now accept Su Yanli as her husband very well. He is handsome and has a good temperament. She can even tease him when she is bored, and she is happy to see him blush.

She had been single since birth for over twenty years. Although the two of them were husband and wife, it didn't stop her from treating him like a boyfriend.

When Li Mo'er heard Su Yanli say it was sweet, she was somewhat skeptical, but she still put the half-eaten hawthorn into her mouth.

Immediately, Li Mo'er made a sarcastic expression, "Fine, Yan Li, you lied to me."

Su Yanli just looked at her with a smile in his eyes. Although he really didn't mean it, he still comforted Li Mo'er, "It's Yanli's fault."

Only then did Li Mo'er place the hawthorn in her hand onto the plate on the table with satisfaction.

Although she has been in this matriarchal world for some time, she still occasionally reveals her childlike nature.

Su Yanli clung to this tenderness, feeling selfish. He couldn't bear to part with Li Mo'er's kindness to him, yet he couldn't give up the child in his womb. Even though he knew Li Mo'er didn't want to have the child now, he stubbornly kept the baby.

He wanted to wait until he could no longer hide it before making a decision. For now, he wanted to enjoy the days of being both a father and being loved by his wife.

Li Mo'er told Su Yanli to rest for a while, and then she went to help Doctor Wang.

She didn't even know how much silver she could make from it, and she still had to go there to help Doctor Wang prepare it.

Now that the he shou wu plant she had the highest hopes for is gone, she no longer expects to become rich overnight.

"Dr. Wang, Dr. Wang, I'm here!"

Before she even entered the door, Li Mo'er started calling out.

When Dr. Wang heard Li Mo'er's voice, he vaguely felt a headache coming on.

She had no idea that Li Mo'er, that girl, was so energetic and neurotic. She was perfectly normal when she left, but now she's acting strangely again.

Actually, Dr. Wang didn't know that Li Mo'er had deliberately restrained herself just now. After all, Er Gouzi still called her "sister," and since she was "sister," she had to act like one.

So she put on an act to maintain her image in front of Er Gouzi.

When Dr. Wang saw Li Mo'er arrive, he led her to the backyard and instructed her to tidy up the pile of grass and wash away the mud and impurities on the surface with clean water.

Li Mo'er playfully saluted Doctor Wang, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

Dr. Wang ignored Li Mo'er's erratic behavior and simply said, "Call me when you're done cleaning."

Dr. Wang was sitting behind the table and could just see Li Mo'er's busy figure.

If only this girl were my own daughter, she'd be so clever and mischievous, she'd bring so much laughter to our home.

Then she remembered how she used to climb on roofs and remove tiles when she was a child, and how her mother would chase her all over the village and beat her. She shook her head decisively; she still couldn't handle it.

Li Mo'er was given a task and began to clean them carefully, washing each one meticulously.

She saw the small tree root in the pile of herbs, and disdainfully tossed it aside, thinking there was no need to wash it, it was just a small tree root.

Seeing that Li Mo'er had finished tidying up, Doctor Wang quickly turned his head and busily fiddled with the medicine bottles on the table.

"Dr. Wang, Dr. Wang, I'm done washing!"

Li Mo'er exclaimed happily, "It's really tiring not to say anything. This money should be earned by someone else."

When Dr. Wang heard Li Mo'er call her, she pretended to stretch and responded impatiently, but her steps didn't slow down at all.

"They're here, they're here, it really is."

Doctor Wang looked at the neatly arranged herbs and nodded approvingly.

Then, I saw her pick up the blade of grass, throw it aside, and then throw another one after taking a couple of steps.

Li Mo'er was anxious, afraid that Doctor Wang would throw away all her herbs, so she quickly asked.

"Dr. Wang, why did you throw away the herbs?"

Dr. Wang kindly replied, "These are all weeds, why keep them if you're not going to throw them away?"

what?

Li Mo'er looked at the few herbs left behind; after all that effort, all she had washed were weeds.

"Why didn't Doctor Wang pick them out before I washed them?"

Isn't this just adding to her workload for no reason?

Dr. Wang smiled gently, "Those grasses are all covered in mud, I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty."

After saying that, she turned around and added in a low voice, "Who told you to make me angry yesterday, hmph!"

Li Mo'er didn't think much of it, after all, it was just something she did on a whim.

Dr. Wang looked at the tree root in the corner, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, walked over, picked it up, and examined it carefully.

Why was this one thrown away?

Li Mo'er waved her hand dismissively, "Oh, isn't this that tree root? I didn't wash it, so what?"

Doctor Wang glared at Li Mo'er helplessly; he really couldn't tell the difference.

"This is worth more than all your herbs."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo'er perked up, but at the same time she was also very puzzled.

"But I just casually dug it out of that pit when I was digging for He Shou Wu, uh, you know, the tree root."

"Ah~"

Dr. Wang shook her head helplessly; she truly hadn't expected Li Mo'er to be so lucky.

"This is American ginseng, which is quite rare here."

She went back and forth to the back mountain so many times, probably because of that big tree root, which is why she didn't find the ginseng.

"What? Ginseng? How much silver is that worth?"

Dr. Wang corrected her impatiently, "It's American ginseng, not human ginseng."

She looked at it carefully and estimated that it must be almost a hundred years old.

Li Mo'er didn't care what kind of ginseng it was; she only cared about how much silver she could get for it. She stared intently at Doctor Wang, waiting for her to make an offer.

"Hmm, judging from its condition, I estimate it to be worth about twenty taels."

Twenty taels?

Worth it!

This trip will net her twenty taels of silver. If she makes a few more trips, wouldn't she become incredibly wealthy? Although she can't become rich overnight, she can wait a few more days or even a month.

Just then, she chuckled. Doctor Wang couldn't help but reach out and gently tap her on the head, shattering her dream.

"What are you dreaming about? You can't possibly come across ginseng every day."

Li Mo'er scratched her head, feeling wronged. "Huh? Can't I?"

Wang Jingmo, who was inside the room, witnessed everything, and the dazed Li Mo'er slowly entered his heart.
