91 Sold Truffles

Little Ah Yu was woken up by a cry.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that her brothers’ faces were covered in tears and snot. Each of them was crying even more miserable than the other.

“Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, Third Fat Brother…” Little Ah Yu called out to them.

Wang Wulang and the others looked up and saw Little Ah Yu rubbing her eyes and sitting up. They were so frightened that they almost fainted.

“Ah Yu, you’re not dead?!” Wang Wulang shouted. In the next moment, he immediately pounced over and hugged Little Ah Yu.

“Wuwuwu, you’re not dead. That’s great. I don’t have to be beaten up by Grandma!”

[…]

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Qin Huai also woke up and met Chi Jia’s gaze.

“Young Master?!” Chi Jia said anxiously, “Why did the illness act up so quickly this time?”

If he had known that it would be so soon, he would not have left the Young Master’s side!

Moreover, the relapse this time looked so serious. Could Young Master not even survive three months?!

Blood was flowing from all seven apertures!

Qin Huai’s face turned green. He gritted his teeth and said, “Hug me.”

Chi Jia was confused. “What?”

“Hug me,” Qin Huai repeated. “I want to use the toilet.”

Looking at the Young Master’s forbearing expression, the years of tacit understanding made Chi Jia know not to ask why.

He immediately carried Qin Huai and used his movement technique to quickly climb to the other side of the mountain.

There was a small house made by the villagers of Hu Family Village there. It was for temporary rest after hunting.

Fortunately, there was a dry toilet beside it.

Wang Wulang and the others no longer had the time to care about what Chi Jia and the others were doing. They were not even excited about each of them having a pheasant.

“Sister Ah Yu, are you injured?” Wang Wulang picked up Little Ah Yu and flipped her around.

No obvious injuries were found.

“Big Brother Ah You was injured. He vomited a lot of blood!” Little Ah Yu was so worried that she forgot to see if Big Brother Ah You had recovered.

“What Big Brother Ah You?” When did his sister have another brother?

“Big Brother Qin Huai said that he’s called Big Brother Ah You,” Little Ah Yu said.

“Forget it, it’s not important. Let’s go back first. Your clothes are already dirty. You have to go back and change.” Wang Wulang waved his hand and picked up Little Ah Yu. He handed the pheasant to Wang Liulang.

The group of brats did not wait for Chi Jia and the others and rushed down the mountain.

Originally, Chi Jia had brought them to catch a pheasant each. The children were all overjoyed. Now that they saw Little Ah Yu like this, they felt their butts ache.

Would they be beaten up?!

It seemed that they should not bring Ah Yu into the mountain next time.

Usually, when the boys went to the mountains to play, the adults did not care.

Who had the time to care about them?

They just reminded them not to go deep into the mountains.

This time, they might not be able to go to the mountains again.

Sigh!

“Ah Yu, don’t tell Grandma when you go back that we’ve put you aside.” Wang Liulang took the opportunity to quickly say to Little Ah Yu.

Wang Qilang hurriedly added, “Yes, yes, yes. Don’t say anything. Otherwise, we won’t be able to play together in the future.”

Little Ah Yu nodded and said, “Ah Yu knows.”

At the foot of the mountain, the children returned to their homes. After Wang Wulang and the others returned to the Wang Family, Old Madam Wang was indeed shocked to see Little Ah Yu covered in blood.

However, after asking around, Old Madam Wang was relieved to know that it was not Ah Yu’s blood.

However, Wang Wulang and the others still did not escape a round of whipping with bamboo shoots.

“Don’t think that you’ll be fine just because you caught three pheasants! You must have placed Ah Yu at the side and run off to play!” Old Madam Wang looked at Wang Wulang. “What did I tell you? I told you to take good care of your sister and you brought her to the mountains to play. Did you think that your sister might be injured?! Even if she wasn’t injured this time, what about next time? What if she encounters some snakes, bugs, or beasts? What if Ah Yu was scared?”

Wang Wulang did not think of all this and could only be beaten up obediently.

However, because they had indeed brought back the pheasants, Old Madam Wang only gave them a small punishment and did not really use much strength.

Liu Shi hurriedly brought Little Ah Yu to take a shower and changed her clothes again.

Fortunately, Ah Yu was small. Coupled with the fabric given by Qin Shi, she had made four sets of clothes for her. Otherwise, she would not have any new clothes to wear.

Wang Chuanman was originally working outside when he heard from the boys that Little Ah Yu had blood on her body when she returned. He was so frightened that he didn’t even want the hoe anymore. When he ran back to take a look, he knew that it was a false alarm.

“That kid called Qin Huai was originally here to recuperate. It looks like his illness is not light. He even vomited blood?” Liu Shi said to Wang Chuanman worriedly, “Will it be contagious?”

Their Ah Yu was so young. If she just suffered a bit of illness and pain, she might die.

Wang Chuanman rubbed his hands. “I don’t know about this either. I’ll ask Doctor Hu!”

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Doctor Hu walking towards their house. Moreover, his face was wrinkled from smiling. It seemed like there was something happy.

“Doctor Hu, why are you here?” Wang Chuanman hurriedly went up to him. “What’s the matter?”

“Good news, great news. Is your mother around? I’m looking for her.” After Doctor Hu finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, so he added, “It’s fine if she’s not around. Your father will do.”

“Yes, yes, my parents are both here.” Wang Chuanman hurriedly led him in and shouted at the top of his lungs, “Father, Mother, Doctor Hu is here!”

When Old Madam Wang heard that Doctor Hu was here, she roughly guessed that he was here for the truffles.

Previously, when Little Ah Yu picked up the truffles on the mountain, Old Madam Wang handed it to Doctor Hu and asked him to help sell it.

In the past few days, Old Madam Wang had not asked about it. Now, it seemed that there was some progress.

Old Madam Wang asked the women to deal with the pheasants while she brought Doctor Hu to the main hall and asked Old man Wang to follow her in.

Doctor Hu went straight to the point. “Madam Wang, I met a medicinal herb merchant who was willing to buy all the truffles you asked me to sell for 550 taels. I felt that the price was suitable, so I sold them all. Here are the banknotes-”

Doctor Hu placed the banknotes on the table and pushed it towards Old Madam Wang. There were also five silver ingots.

Old Madam Wang picked up the banknote and glanced at it. She smiled and said, “Thank you, Doctor Hu. You’ve worked hard on this trip. Take this 50 taels of silver as a fee.”

“That won’t do, that won’t do. Previously, when the boys from your family brought me to dig for truffles, I also dug out a small bunch. Although it’s not as much as yours, it was sold for a good price as well. That’s enough as a fee.” Doctor Hu hurriedly shook his head. “Madam is already very trusting of me by being willing to let me sell it. There’s no need to say anything else.”

Doctor Hu was not a very sociable person. He was afraid that Old Madam Wang would insist on giving him a fee, so he left quickly after leaving the things behind.

“Madam Wang, if you have more medicinal herbs or anything else you don’t know in the future, you can ask me. I can help you sell them.” With that, Doctor Hu left.

Old Madam Wang was holding the banknotes in deep thought. When she turned around, she saw Old man Wang’s dumbfounded expression.

He was clearly frightened by the banknotes.

“Old, old, old woman-”

When did his family earn so much money? Why didn’t he know anything?

“What? You’ve never seen so much money?!” Old Madam Wang rolled her eyes. “This money was earned by the children in the family. Tell me, you can’t even compare to the children. Where is your old face going to be placed!”

Old Wang: “…” If you want to talk, talk nicely. What’s with the personal attacks?
