Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

After lunch, Fang Wei gave Wu Shaoli no chance to refuse to go hiking.

He slung the basket over his shoulder, picked up Wuya in one arm and Liuya in the other, and walked out of the courtyard with his head covered.

The other older girls looked at each other helplessly. Wu Shaoli sighed, picked up the youngest girl, Qi Ya, and followed them.

The family marched through the village in a large group, and the villagers they encountered all looked at them as if they were crazy.

"Fang Wei, where is your family headed?"

A middle-aged man carrying a hoe stood by the roadside and asked with a gloating expression.

"Let's go see my family's old logging camp!"

Holding his two little daughters, Fang Wei said proudly, "All two hundred-plus acres of land behind the mountain belong to my family!"

The man paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Fang Wei, have you lost your mind? That wasteland wouldn't even take it for free, and you, of all people, dare to spend two hundred yuan to lease it? Do you think it's a mountain of gold and silver?!"

"Anyway, that's my land now!"

Fang Wei glared at the man sideways, his expression defiant. "From now on, anyone who wants to go in must get my permission!"

"Yes, yes! It's your land! It's all your land!"

The man grinned, revealing his entire set of yellow teeth. "From now on, anyone who wants to get in will have to submit a report and apply, right? Hahahaha!"

This family is absolutely hilarious!

Seeing his expression, Fang Wei gave a heavy snort and continued walking up the mountain with his daughter in his arms.

Wu Shaoli followed behind him expressionlessly.

The girls knew that the man was mocking them, and like their father, they all put on a stern face and snorted coldly.

These adults are so annoying!

"Hey, a bunch of losers!"

The man, annoyed by the sullen looks from the brats, spat in frustration. "Your father will sell you all to pay off his debts sooner or later!"

Along the way, the family encountered many more villagers, all of whom had similar reactions. There were also a few gossipy old women huddled together, giving Wu Shaoli sidelong glances.

"Tsk tsk, look at her waist. She's had seven children, and it's still as slender as a young woman's."

"What's the use of being a little girl? She still married a gambling addict! Those few hundred dollars are gone for good. Let's see if she can even stand up and walk this winter."

"Those little girls are so pitiful; they've never had a good life since they were born."

"What, you want to raise them? If you want to raise them, go ask Wu Shaoli for some! Anyway, the youngest two or three don't even remember anything yet!"

"..."

Upon hearing those words, Daya glared at the old women and gripped Fourth Sister's hand even tighter.

……

The old forest farm is located on the north side of the back mountain, on a gentle slope of more than 200 acres.

Because it is always in the shade and the sun cannot penetrate it, and the soil quality is not good, the village had tried to plant fruit trees several times before, but they all died.

Later, no one cared about it anymore, and it lay abandoned for who knows how many years.

Looking at the old forest farm in front of Fang Wei's family, Wu Shaoli felt a chill in her heart.

It's all overgrown with weeds and dead trees!

Moreover, the grass was almost half a person tall, so dense that there was no place to put your feet!

Several old trees stood there, their bark covered in cracks, half-dead and unsightly!

In a place like this, let alone wild gastrodia elata, even wild rabbits probably wouldn't want to stay!

"Fang Wei..."

Wu Shaoli's voice began to tremble, "You spent over two hundred yuan a year to lease a place like this?!"

"..."

Fang Wei didn't speak, but squinted and scanned the old forest farm. He put Wu Ya and Liu Ya on the ground and said, "Da Ya, Er Ya, you two take good care of your sister here."

"Your mother and I are going to find something. Remember, don't wander off!"

"As long as you keep an eye on the other girls, I'll give each of you a White Rabbit milk candy when we get home."

"good!"

Before Da Ya could speak, Er Ya immediately shouted back, "My older sister and I will take good care of our younger sisters. Come back soon!"

"good."

Fang Wei patted her head, put Qi Ya in Daya's arms, and pulled Wu Shaoli along as they headed to find the wild gastrodia elata.

"Let's go look for it together and see if it really exists!"

He knew it definitely existed, but he hoped Wu Shaoli could find it herself.

"Da Ya! Er Ya! You two must keep a close eye on your little sister! Don't let her run around!"

Wu Shaoli was pulled forward by Fang Wei and had no way to refuse. She could only turn back and shout to her daughter, "We'll be back soon."

She wasn't worried that anything would happen to her daughters.

Firstly, very few people come here to begin with.

Secondly, even if something really happens, if the girls shout, she and Fang Wei will know immediately.

Because there were so many weeds, Fang Wei could only walk along while chopping them with a sickle.

By the time he found the patch of wild gastrodia elata, he was exhausted and covered in sweat, with tiny scratches on his face and neck from the wild grass.

Looking at the few pieces of wood in front of him that were mostly rotten, Fang Wei squatted down and reached out to remove all the dead leaves from them.

A damp, rotten smell of leaves immediately hit me!

He leaned closer to the ground and took a closer look; it was covered with a layer of white mycelium.

Fang Wei stretched out his finger and dug a bit into the soil, immediately hitting something hard and bumpy.

Instead of digging it out directly, he ran his finger along the outline of the object and felt that it was almost as thick as his thumb!

It truly is top-quality Gastrodia elata!

"Wife! Come and touch me!"

Fang Wei didn't even dare to imagine how big the huge wild top-quality Gastrodia elata mentioned in the intelligence report was. If he could have half an acre of it, and all of it was of this quality, his family would really be rich!

"Is Gastrodia elata really real?"

Wu Shaoli was also covered in sweat.

She squatted down with him, hesitated for a moment, and then imitated Fang Wei's action, stretching out her finger and digging hard into the soil.

Huh? !

"Really?!"

Wu Shaoli quickly brushed away the layer of soil on the surface and saw the wild gastrodia elata!

"How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Fang Wei looked at his wife with a smug expression, "I told you, if that voice says it's there, then it's definitely here!"

"..."

Wu Shaoli was still in a daze.

She hadn't really believed what Fang Wei said before, but now she saw that there really were wild gastrodia elata in this old forest.

She felt both excited and somewhat scared.

What exactly was that sound Fang Wei described, the sound that sounded like the earth? Could it be the mountain god of this place?

What is it trying to do by suddenly appearing?

Their family was poor and destitute, and they had never worshipped any local deities or mountain gods. Why would the other party help them?!
