Chapter 109 A Traitor Has Came in the Family



Chapter 109 A Traitor Has Came in the Family

During this time, Xu Yingying was searching for suitable clay for making clay sculptures.

They completely ignored the work at Xu's home and in the fields.

Old Mrs. Xu couldn't argue with her, so she behaved herself for a few days.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that exchanging Xu Daya for Xu Yingying was a huge loss.

Then he started acting up again, yelling and screaming early in the morning, making Xu Yingying water the fields.

Xu Yingying naturally refused to go—the young lady had never done any manual labor in either her past or present life.

Grandma Xu then sent her younger brother, Xu Chunsheng.

How old is Xu Chunsheng? Even a carrying pole and buckets could reach his height. How can he carry water to irrigate the fields?

Xu Yingying had no choice but to compromise and go in her brother's place.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Shen Yu hurrying towards Nanshan.

The female protagonist always finds something when she goes out.

Without thinking, Xu Yingying followed, but little did she know that she would overhear a tremendous secret.

"First, Shen Yu went to find something, and she found the ginseng near her destination. Second, Shen Yu mentioned Long Aotian; it was Long Aotian who sent her. Were you aware of this?"

"What?" Yang Fenglan looked at Xu Yingying in surprise.

“You don’t know? Then I guess your unfilial son might be up to something behind your back,” Xu Yingying said.

"Could it be because of the female lead's halo?" Yang Fenglan guessed.

"It's not impossible. Anyway, keep an eye on things. I'm worried something might go wrong."

"Yes." Yang Fenglan nodded solemnly.

The system was a family heirloom given to her by her mother; it was her private property, and she wouldn't allow anyone else to covet it.

Xu Yingying held up the ginseng, "What should we do with this ginseng? Why don't we take it to nourish your son?"

"No need, he has medicine. Don't waste such a good thing, you keep it." Yang Fenglan had a system and didn't want the things her best friend had worked so hard to find.

"I was able to find this ginseng thanks to you, let's split it in half."

When reading this novel, Yang Fenglan shared some popular science about ginseng and lingzhi with Xu Yingying, jokingly saying: "If I time travel, I'll make money with these two things."

Unexpectedly, his words came true.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yang Fenglan smiled. "Half and half for each of you? You wish! What's yours is mine, including that Ganoderma lucidum. You can take it and sell it when you have time."

“I think we’ve saved up enough money. Once I find a suitable place to take refuge, I’ll start stockpiling food. We can’t delay any longer, or the price of food will definitely go up.”

After discussing the important matters, the two sisters went their separate ways.

Yang Fenglan hurried to find the bracelet.

Just as she put the bracelet back on, Long Aotian burst out, his resentment palpable, [So you did know to come back!]

God knows how terrified it was!

It was afraid that someone would pick it up and it would never see its beautiful koi owner again.

Yang Fenglan rolled her eyes at it and ignored it.

……

That night, Yang Fenglan couldn't sleep at all and lay in bed with her eyes closed, trying to rest.

Where can one hide during a famine?

They definitely can't stay in the village. Everyone is starving, and if they have surplus food, they'll definitely be targeted.

However, the Nanshan Mountains are dangerous, so it's best to go in a group.

Who should I ask to accompany me?

Furthermore, why did this rebellious son, Long Aotian, get involved with Shen Yu?

If it really is the female lead's halo, what will she do?

To eliminate the possibility of betrayal, the only option is to keep Long Aotian away from her. Therefore, it's time to put divorce on the agenda.

Distracted and confused, Yang Fenglan vaguely heard whispering voices coming from the backyard.

She carefully pushed open the window and was surprised to see Long Aotian, who was emitting a faint light, talking to Shen Yu!

Shen Yu: "We couldn't find any ginseng at all."

"That shouldn't be the case. I checked it myself; it is indeed ginseng. I didn't even tell your unlucky mother-in-law."

"Then it's possible she really was poached. Could it be her?"

"Impossible, we went out today."

Shen Yu suddenly looked at Long Aotian, "How much did my mother-in-law's honeysuckle and dendrobium sell for?"

"Hmm... two taels of silver." Long Aotian said without hesitation.

Yang Fenglan really wanted to throw a shoe at him.

She also heard Long Aotian lower his voice and tell Shen Yu to find a way to get her hands on the bracelet so they wouldn't have to sneak around anymore...
