Chapter 202 Everyone goes up the mountain!
The uncles of the Wu family were already puzzled. Not only did the family wear new clothes, but they even had an ox cart. They couldn't guess what was going on.
After Wu said this, they were even more confused and bewildered.
Why were all the things given by the niece? Why did they remember that Wu had come back crying before, saying that her niece was not doing well and needed help every year?
Although he had a lot of questions in his head, he couldn't stand and talk on the street, so he quickly said, "Okay! Let's go home first."
Wu Er glanced at Daniu, then at the cart parked on the side of the road, and said, "Did you park this cart?"
Wu nodded, "The road is too narrow to pass through, so just leave it here. It won't get lost if there are no people passing by!"
"That won't do!"
Wu Er shook his head in disapproval, walked over to pick up the cart, and laughed: "Let's go home!"
Cheng Yue swallowed her saliva. This was a natural supernatural power. Third uncle was so awesome!
Chen An and Cheng's father looked at each other and sighed that they were inferior!
"Let's go!"
In this way, Wu Da carried rice and flour, Wu Er held cloth, Wu San carried the cart, and Chen An drove the cattle, and the family walked home while talking and laughing.
"Mother! Come out and see who's here!"
Wu Da started shouting into the house before he even entered the door. As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of footsteps.
The three aunts of the Wu family ran out at the same time, each of them was surprised and happy, and greeted them enthusiastically: "Hey! It's my little sister and brother-in-law!"
"Hey, this is Xiaoyue and her nephew's husband? Why didn't they bring the child with them?"
"Quick, quick, come in! Sit down and talk!"
Each of them spoke like a machine gun, and Cheng Yue and the others were a little overwhelmed. As soon as they called for someone, they were pushed in the door.
In fact, the uncles of the Wu family had separated a long time ago, but this separation was the same as not having separated at all. Except for not sleeping in the same yard, they did everything else together, including eating together and going hunting together.
They live far away from the village and don't interact much with the villagers. Only the brothers support each other and their relationship is extremely good.
Of course, it is also because the relationship between the sisters-in-law is good. As for why it is good, it is because the three aunts are sisters who married into the family one after the other.
Their parents died early, and their eldest brother and sister-in-law thought they were a burden and would beat and scold them at any time. Therefore, the three sisters depended on each other and had an extremely good relationship.
My aunt was sold to my uncle by her sister-in-law for a wild boar. She was extremely desperate at the time, but she didn't expect that my uncle was a kind-hearted person and they got along better and better after they got married.
Later, seeing that there were two brothers in the Wu family who were just as honest, he introduced his two younger sisters to marry into the family.
It was because they had suffered from the bullying of their brother and sister-in-law that they loved Wu very much and vowed not to be vicious sisters-in-law and incur hatred.
Therefore, Wu had deep feelings for her three sisters-in-law. After all, her parents passed away early and her sisters-in-law took care of all the marriages.
Cheng's father's brother-in-law was someone they carefully selected. Of course, that's another story.
Mrs. Wu and her sisters-in-law showed concern for each other for a while before asking, "Where are the children? Why aren't any of them here?"
The eldest aunt smiled and said, "The boys are going up the mountain, and my wife and children are working in the fields. We are also preparing to leave, and you guys are here. It's a good opportunity to take a break!"
Wu joked, "Then you should thank me!"
The whole family burst into laughter again.
The second and third aunts said happily, "We just came back from hunting rabbits and pheasants this morning. Let's go clean them up and have a reunion dinner tonight!"
Mrs. Wu hurriedly stopped them, "Second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, stop busying yourself. Xiaoyue came here this time to tell you something. We will leave after we finish talking, otherwise it will be difficult to go home before dark."
The Wu family's house is small and there are many people. Even if they sleep on the floor, there is not enough space for so many people. They had to leave quickly after they finished talking.
Uncle and aunt Wu also thought of this and could only continue sitting there, thinking that it would be the same if they didn't eat the chicken and rabbit.
Then he was stunned again. Did his niece have something to tell them? What was going on? Could it be something about her husband's family?
Uncle Wu glanced at Chen An. Something was wrong. Both his nephew and his son-in-law came together. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with their relationship.
"Xiaoyue, if you have any problem, tell your uncles. Are you being bullied? Your uncles may not be good at other things, but they are definitely better than others at hitting people!"
As he said this, he raised his fist, deliberately in front of Chen An.
Chen An was on pins and needles. He felt that he shouldn't have come...
Mrs. Wu directly pressed down Uncle Wu's fist and said helplessly: "Brother, what are you thinking..."
Cheng Yue was deeply moved and said quickly, "Don't worry, uncles and aunts, no one dares to bully me. If anyone dares to bully me, I will punch them back!"
"That's right! Hahaha!"
The three uncles clapped their hands and laughed. This was now a more proper girl from their Wu family. She couldn’t be as cowardly as before.
Afterwards, Cheng Yue briefly talked about the matter of dividing the family, breaking off relations and doing business, which made the whole family stare with eyes wide open. The girl from their Wu family only had strength, when did she develop brains?
After saying this, Cheng Yue took out the herbs in the basket and started talking about business. After hearing this, the eyes of his uncles and aunts widened even more.
"My goodness, you didn't scare us! Is it really thirty cents a pound?"
After listening to Cheng Yue's words, they already had complete faith in her abilities. They asked this question not because they didn't believe her, but because they couldn't believe it.
The game they hunted was less than 30 cents per pound, but the red fruits all over the mountains were more valuable than the game. This was totally subversive!
Cheng Yue looked at everyone's jaw-dropping expressions and said with a smile, "Of course not. I asked the pharmacy, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to tell my uncles and aunts about this."
Uncle Wu San took a deep breath and said blankly: "Our back mountain is full of these things. Isn't the whole mountain full of silver..."
They often go into the mountains to hunt, and are very familiar with this thing. They know exactly where there is more and where there is less, but they never take it seriously.
Uncle Wu Da and Uncle Wu Er also nodded, "This is what reminds me the most. The mountain is bright red, which is the most conspicuous. I haven't noticed the other things."
Cheng Yue thought to herself, that’s why no one knows about it, otherwise, the mountain would have been plucked bare, how could she have discovered it?
"Uncle and aunt, wolfberries are ready to be picked now. They can be picked until around October. How can you guys arrange it?"
According to her idea, hunting can be postponed for the time being, after all, there is not a harvest every day, but picking wolfberries can earn money every day.
As my uncle said, the whole mountain was full of them, and after those few months, the income was considerable.
Uncle Wu made a prompt decision and waved his hand: "Starting tomorrow, except for Big Bear, Big Tiger, and Big Bull who will continue hunting, everyone else will go up the mountain to collect herbs!"
The prey is there. It makes no difference whether you hunt it today or tomorrow. However, wolfberries wait for no one. Once they are ripe and fall to the ground, all the silver will be gone.
Their niece came all the way here to tell them this just to make them feel better, so they cannot fail to prioritize.
Everyone else nodded, knowing what was most important at the moment.
Cheng Yue finally said, "Uncle and aunt, if you want to sell medicinal herbs, you can go directly to Wanhetang in the county town. I will greet Doctor Xu in advance."
Dalinggou is quite far from Houshui Village, and it is inconvenient to give the medicinal materials to her. It is better to take them directly to Wanhetang, and the money can be obtained immediately.
Everyone agreed, "No problem! We don't understand this matter, we will do whatever you say!"
