Chapter 2624: Mission 10

Editor: Henyee Translations

Ms. Wang suddenly fell silent.

After a moment of quiet, her eyes reddened.

Then, she smiled again—a grateful smile.

As a mother, her heart twinged with a bit of pain. However, in that ache, she found reassurance knowing what her daughters were capable of.

All three of them were girls, and she had worried about what would become of them without her. Yet, observing their resilience, she felt a sense of relief.

“I’m very happy that you girls can manage this. However, there’s no need to make things too challenging,” Ms. Wang said, her concern evident. “After all, you are ladies.”

Gu Chaoyan understood Ms. Wang’s underlying worry. She was concerned about their well-being.

Responding calmly, Gu Chaoyan explained, “My father shared some information with me in the past. There are old medicinal herbs on the mountain. Today, I went up and encountered my father’s old friend. He assisted me in digging them up. They are all hundreds of years old ginseng and dragon roots, along with some younger ones that I brought back.”

“…”

“Now, Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle are coveting our 15 acres of fertile land. That’s why they are pressuring us like this. We must protect our field. Beyond safeguarding these herbs, the crucial thing is to secure an escape route.”

“…”

“Ginseng and dragon roots—we’ll sell half of the hundred-year-old ones and keep the other half. We need the money from the sale. Additionally, we’ll rely on the Lin Family’s shop for support.”

“…”

“Keep the remaining half. We’ll use it when the time is right. I’ll figure out a way to cultivate the younger ones,” Gu Chaoyan outlined her plan. “Mom, we won’t face hardship. As long as we stick together, we’ll be fine.”

“…”

“If we truly can’t defend it, we’ll temporarily move out of the North Village and use the funds to secure a place in the city. We can reclaim it in the future. As long as we hold the title deed, there’s nothing to fear.”

Ms. Wang’s eyes brightened progressively, filled with hope and anticipation for the future. If they could execute Danqiu’s plan, she believed there was nothing to be afraid of.

She recognized that the most crucial thing now was for her children to lead good lives. Material possessions were ultimately transient.

Hope permeated the atmosphere within the family.

At that moment, Danxia brought the food over.

The aroma of rabbit meat filled the air.

Danxia’s culinary skills were commendable, nearly on par with Ms. Wang’s. Growing up in a modest household, children learned to take on responsibilities early. By the time they reached their teenage years, they were already adept at various tasks.

“It’s delicious,” Dandong exclaimed, unable to contain her drooling at the scent.

“It hasn’t even reached your mouth, and you already claim it’s delicious?” Danxia teased.

“Second Sister made it. It’s always delicious, especially meat,” Dandong retorted mischievously.

“You’re just fixated on the meat. Luckily, our eldest sister is here, so we have meat to eat,” Danxia agreed.

Gu Chaoyan smiled, a bit surprised.

She had briefed Ms. Wang on the current situation but refrained from mentioning their visit to Yan Danxia’s house tomorrow. She worried that it might weigh on Ms. Wang’s mind, which could impede her recovery.

As for the details, they would naturally unfold after tomorrow. Speculating at this point served little purpose.

There was a lot of rabbit meat. The four of them opened their stomachs and ate, but they did not finish it.

Hence, they kept it. they could still have a meal tomorrow.

If that was the case…
