Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 37, Zhou's thoughts

Xiao Qing thought about the second thing, and hesitated for a while. There are many treasures in the depths of Yaoshan Mountain. They dare not go, and the village will not let them go. It's just that the drought is like this. It's pedantic, life matters.

"The second thing Mother wants to tell you is this..." She moved the bamboo basket full of mushrooms and chestnuts in front of them: "Mother went to the depths of Yaoshan Mountain alone today, these mushrooms and chestnuts , Where did I find it? Not only these, I saw that there are many foods on the mountain, such as unripe wild mung beans, mountain reds, wild pomegranates, sorghum, soybeans, bracken, mother-in-law, celery, mushrooms like these There are chestnut trees all over the place, one by one, the mother's eyes are dazzled, there is too much to eat in the mountains."

The three of them stared at these fruits and wild vegetables. They couldn't believe that there are so many good things growing in the deep mountains. In the past two years of severe drought, there is not even a living thing in the mountains, and there are no edible wild vegetables. Unexpectedly There are still in the mountains.

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Xiao Qing pulled out the chestnuts: "This fried with sugar is delicious. Mother plans to get up early tomorrow morning and fry this. I will go to the county with Xiaocheng, Yuanyuan, and Xiaoyu. It was sold inside, and the two baskets of winter dates outside were also sold."

Qiao Erjing didn't hear what mother said behind her, and her mind was full of what mother said. She went to the deep mountain. It was rumored that there were rich wolves, tigers and leopards in the deep mountain, and there were ghosts and evil spirits. Mother went alone and brought back so much food. It's lucky, what about next time?What about next time?
"Mother, how can you go into the deep mountain alone? You know how many people went in before and they couldn't get out. Many strong bounty hunters went in and there was no sound. Mother, we can't put our lives on the line for a bite. Ah!" Qiao Erjing worried.

Xiao Qing knew that they would be worried, she had thought about it, there must be danger, those jackals are extremely ferocious, and they are also good at catching prey, if she wants to get the fruits and wild vegetables in the deep mountains in the future, she must subdue the jackals for a long time, Just like the strong man in the deep mountains, he can live in the deep mountains all year round, which shows that he knows how to deal with these environments.

"Don't worry, my mother has a way. My mother swears to you that every time I go in, I will come back unscathed. However, only the four of us know about entering the deep mountain, and my mother plans to go in by herself! Just help move the bamboo basket outside."

Zhou was the first to say in surprise: "Mother, I don't agree, if you want to go, I'll go with you! It's too dangerous there!"

In order for Mother to support them, what should she and the children do if something goes wrong?The mother is their support, they will be there wherever the mother is.

Qin took a look at the second scriptures and said worriedly: "Mother, if the villagers find out, they will definitely stop you at that time, and if it is serious, they will report to the government. Mother, what do you think the government will arrest you?" ?”

Mother was embarrassing to their family in the village before, and finally changed for the better. If they went to the mountains without permission and caused a big prison, what should their family do?

"It's alright, alright, am I okay? Besides, mother is not afraid of ghosts and evil spirits, mother has her own way of dealing with fierce beasts, and I won't go too deep into the mountains!" Xiao Qing saw that the three were still worried, She took out the jade biscuit from under the bamboo basket, and took out the round gold bumps the size of her fingers from her pocket. When they saw this object, they would definitely agree with her to take risks: "Look, what is this..."

Qiao Er stretched out his head, and took the disc-like jade bi that his mother handed over. He looked left and right and felt his tentacles chilling. He had never seen this object before, he turned it over and over for a long time.

"Mom, what is this?" He asked.

Qin's eyes were not on the jade biscuit, but on the gold lump that her mother handed over. She pinched one and put it in her mouth and bit it, and saw that she could find tiny teeth marks.

"Mother, is this a golden lump?" Qin asked in surprise.

She once saw someone holding a gold ingot and said that it was pure gold if the tooth marks were bitten out in her mouth. She didn't know whether it was true or not, so she bit it, and sure enough, thin tooth marks appeared on the round gold bumps.

This sentence shocked both Qiao Erjing and Zhou Shi, Jin Zi?Is it gold?There is gold in the mountains?
"Shh, yes, this is gold, and the second classic is holding jade." Xiao Qing signaled the three of them to keep their voices down, playing with the six gold bumps in his hand, covering his mouth with the other hand and whispering: " These were picked up from the deep mountains, my mother is lucky, and there are a lot of things in the deep mountains."

Qin asked in surprise: "Mother, how much silver can these gold and jade be exchanged for?"

This is the first time she has seen gold and jade with her own eyes, and she has heard it from the elders before, not to mention that there has been a drought for several years, and every household is tight, and there is a valuable item in the house that has long been pawned.

Xiao Qing smiled: "It's worth a lot of silver. When I get back the silver, I'll bring Qiao Fang and Qiao Hong back first."

Qiao Erjing let out a gentle smile from the bottom of his heart. Unexpectedly, the first thing Mother would do in exchange for the silver was to bring back Qiao Hong and Qiao Fang. He looked at Qin Shi.

"Then... what mother says, let's just listen to it?"

Qiao Erjing didn't want his mother to go, but there are so many good things in the mountains. If people are allowed to go in the Tianshan Mountains, these good things will fall into the hands of others.

Qin Shi understood the opposite of the second classic, looked back at him, and said with a smile: "We listen to mother!"

Mrs. Zhou is not as happy as Mrs. Qin and Qiao Erjing. She doesn't touch the gold bumps or jade bibs. Although she is willing to listen to her mother, this matter is in exchange for her mother's life. How can she just watch Take your mother to take risks to make money?

"Mother, you are going to the deep mountains, I can't stop you." Choking with sobs, Zhou begged, "But mother, can you let me go with you? When mother encounters any danger, I will at least give mother some help." Take care, mother can't run, I will take mother to run..."

Xiao Qing was stunned, and was shocked. Seeing so much wealth, she was not moved, but put her safety first. What kind of stupid daughter-in-law is Zhou?
"Xiao Chengniang, if you go with me, you will make me look left and right. Mother understands your heart and understands everything!" Xiao Qing's heart softened, and she persuaded her in a calm voice.

Zhou Shi pursed her lips and lowered her head. She was soft-spoken and couldn't persuade Mother, but she couldn't feel at ease when she thought that Mother was protecting her and Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Qing knew that Mrs. Zhou was nearly ten years older than her, so she respected and filially treated her, and never hated what she did. She was really a good person.

"Okay, then it's settled!" Xiao Qing assigned work: "Xiao Chengniang, you will pick up dates later, Yuanyuan, come and pick chestnuts with me, I will fry some for the children to taste tomorrow .”

The Qin family and the Zhou family agreed well.

Xiao Qing put away the jade and gold lumps and wrapped them with the remaining linen. She didn't take out the gold locks, and she didn't intend to tell them that dragon-pattern jades are usually used for sacrifices, and this kind of white jade is usually only Collectors, or officials can use it when they donate to the court, and ordinary people will own this.
