The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 16 Watering the Ginseng
"Let's go! We have important things to do and can't delay too long." Lu Yu left quickly, and Lingyi followed closely behind.

The two men came to the backyard of the previous inn and left Sishui Town on horseback.

Mrs. Sheng anxiously looked at the city gate again and again. Why hasn't Wanqiu returned yet? The time is almost up.

"Are you here?" the old man driving the coach came over and asked.

"They should be here soon and will be back soon. Just wait a little longer, it will be quick." Mrs. Sheng tried to delay time.

"Grandma Sheng, you're not going to leave us all waiting for your Sheng Wanqiu, are you?"

"You have nothing to do, we have to cook and do housework when we get home!"

"How can you not feel good about wasting everyone's time?" Bai Xiaolian took the opportunity to sarcastically say.

Today, Sheng Wanqiu seemed like a different person, which made her extremely annoyed. She would definitely say a few words to her to vent her anger when she got the chance.

"You are ashamed to be alive, why should I be ashamed?"

"I just saw that the mung bean cakes that had just been released from the dim sum shop were good, and I wanted to invite everyone to try them, so I waited in line for a little longer."

"Look at you, it's as if you can't live another moment. What's wrong? Go home and wait to be hanged!"

Sheng Wanqiu's voice sounded coldly, choking Bai Xiaolian so much that her face turned red and blue.

"Wanqiu, how can you say that? Xiaolian also cares about you." Bai Jiang immediately stepped forward to support her.

"I don't need your concern. I don't have such a good relationship with you guys!"

"Grandma, give these mung bean cakes to the aunts to try. Don't give them to those who are pretending to be kind, so that they won't choke and cause trouble for us!"

Sheng Wanqiu handed the oil-paper bag in her hand to Mrs. Sheng, squeezed her hand, and helped her onto the ox cart.

"Uncle, take this to fill your stomach." Sheng Wanqiu reached out and stuffed a small oil-paper bag into the cart of the old man, then climbed onto the ox cart nimbly.

"You are so polite, kid. Thank you!"

The old man driving the cart immediately smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. The unhappy mood he had just had disappeared immediately. He waved the whip and the ox cart started moving immediately.

Mrs. Sheng understood what her granddaughter meant, and immediately opened the oil-paper package and distributed the shiny yellow mung bean cakes to the people sitting on the ox cart, one piece for each person. Of course, she didn't give any to the Bai mother and daughter, and wrapped up the rest.

"Ah! Today, thanks to Miss Wanqiu, I can also taste what the cakes of this wealthy family are like!"

An auntie whose face was wrinkled with laughter said.

"Yeah! I've never eaten such a good-looking snack!"

"Wanqiu girl, thank you!"

Such sounds were heard one after another in the ox cart. Sheng Wanqiu smiled and waved her hand, indicating that these were just small gestures and everyone should not take them to heart.

The Bai family mother and daughter were so angry that they fell backwards and glared at Sheng Wanqiu fiercely.

Sheng Wanqiu shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. If a glare can cost you a piece of meat, then go ahead and glare!"
"Wanqiu, what about the purse?" Mrs. Sheng asked in a low voice.

"Grandma, don't worry! Let's talk about it when we get home!" Sheng Wanqiu held Grandma Sheng's hand and put it on her pocket.

Mrs. Sheng immediately smiled with joy, thinking that her granddaughter was really capable.

After returning home, Sheng Wanqiu gave her her grandmother's purse and told her that she had found out about it from the little beggar, and then she just hit him with a stick and the other party gave it to her.

She didn't tell her grandmother that there were five people on the other side, nor did she tell her grandmother that they had a knife, so as not to worry her grandmother. She now felt that when she called Sheng Pozi Nai, it was becoming more and more real, as if this was her own grandmother, and there was no awkwardness at all.

"How much is the money for the cakes?"

Sheng Wanqiu saw that Mrs. Sheng had rolled up her sleeves, thinking she was going to teach her a lesson about wasting money, so she quickly explained, "The thief compensated me unconditionally! It's two taels of silver!"

"I treated the little beggar to some steamed buns, and I used the rest to buy mung bean cakes."

"I knew the Bai family mother and daughter would definitely use my lateness to bully others, so I just shut them up and found this excuse."

"How is it? Grandma! I'm smart, right?"

Sheng Wanqiu looked at Mrs. Sheng with a proud expression, waiting for her praise.

"Well done!"

"Don't you like that kid from the Bai family?"

Mrs. Sheng was still very puzzled. Usually, Wanqiu was always chasing after the boy from the Bai family. Why did she change her nature now?

"Grandma, let me be honest with you. I've come to terms with it!"

"Dad is dead, mom, I will treat him as if he were dead. I don't plan to get married. I plan to find a live-in son-in-law, raise my brothers well and study hard, and take care of you until the end of your life."

"Besides, Bai Haoyu's family is too poor. His mother is restless, his sister is a troublemaker, and he has a younger brother who is lazy and gluttonous. He himself is neither good at literature nor martial arts, and he is not good-looking and short. He will seriously affect the next generation."

"I was blind before, but now he is not even worthy of carrying my shoes!"

"I want to find a man who has no father or mother, is tall and handsome, has good physique when he takes off his clothes, looks thin when he is dressed, is good at both literature and martial arts, and is good-looking. Hehe! The baby born to such a man will definitely be very good-looking!"

"Ouch! Grandma, why did you hit me?"

"Grandma! Ouch! Ouch!" Sheng Wanqiu covered her hit head and trotted out of the yard.

"Grandma, I'm going to the village entrance to see if my brothers have come back!" After running to a safe area, Sheng Wanqiu turned around, grinned, and ran away.

At first, Mrs. Sheng was very moved when she heard her words, and she sighed in her heart that this girl had finally grown up and became a filial and sensible person.

The more he listened, the more outrageous it became, and he couldn't help but pick up the broom.

Mrs. Sheng shook her head in amusement and put down the broom in her hand. This girl has her own ideas, so let her do what she wants.

Sheng Wanqiu didn't have the time to wait for her two younger brothers, so she trotted into the mountains.

He quickly climbed up the tree, looked around, and after making sure there was no one around, he jumped down and buried a ginseng seed in the soil.

Use your mind to draw out the spring water in the space and pour it directly on the ground.

A magical scene happened. As Sheng Wanqiu's mouth opened wider and wider, the ginseng seeds took root, sprouted, grew and bloomed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Sheng Wanqiu hurriedly used her hands to catch the ginseng seeds that were about to fall off.

Hehehe, from now on I don’t have to spend money to buy seeds.

Then the ginseng grew thicker and thicker. She felt that if it continued to grow, it would become a spirit, so she quickly reached out and pulled it out.

Looking at the ginseng as thick as a child's wrist, Sheng Wanqiu fell into deep thought. Should she drink some of this spring water herself? Maybe she could grow to 1.7 meters tall?
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in her ears. Sheng Wanqiu quickly found a piece of moss to wrap the ginseng. She had seen a video saying that this could keep the ginseng fresh.

Then she climbed up the tree with the ginseng. When she looked down, she understood what was going on.
