Chapter 107 - 107 Recognition
107 Recognition
Ms. Xu. “…”
This man was dull and dumb in head. Messages just did not get through.
But he was slightly better than before. Who would complain about gaining so much money!
The fifth sister-in-law could pay them this much money, probably because she herself had earned a lot.
Well, she could not say anything about it, since she earned the money with her abilities. But if she could recognize what the plant was like, then she could go into the mountains and dig them herself.
She could sell them and earn the money for her own pocket.
The more Ms. Xu thought about this, the more she wanted to do so. So the next day, she pretended to work in the land, but sneaked into the mountains instead.
She was going to find gastrodia elata.
She had no knowledge of what it looked like, but when she was digging the plant, she bore the appearance in her mind.
As long as she could run into the plant, she was going to recognize it.
But gastrodia elata was not easy to find.
Without Qiao Xuan’s superpower, it could not be possibly found at all.
Anxious, Ms. Xu panicked. She kept going deep into the forest without any awareness. The path as well as the trees were getting so strange and the veins were flourishing, getting denser. But Ms. Xu just did not notice the change.
When she realized that something was wrong, she glanced about, as cold sweat dripped alongside her cheeks. Where was she?
It was very quiet around, and trees were covering her head, as if there were numerous pairs of eyes hiding behind the woods, and a beast would come to lunge at her and eat her up.
Suddenly, Ms. Xu let out a scream, when she heard a weird sound of a bird chirping across the mountains. She tripped over and fell.
She kept screaming and ran backwards despite the pain.
Luckily, Ms. Xu left some footprints on the path that was barely visited by anyone. She grew up in the countryside, and often worked in the mountains. So even though she went through the difficulty at the beginning, she managed to escape from the woods.
When she came to the familiar place, Ms. Xu collapsed as she panted, crying.
She felt so regretful, though she had no idea what made her feel this way.
But after this experience, she understood that she was not capable enough to do it herself.
She could not make a fortune through this.
Ms. Xu felt very jealous and admired her fifth sister-in-law. No wonder her mother-in-law kept speaking highly of Fifth Sister-in-law and calling her a lucky star. True, she was indeed a lucky star.
She had to admit that she was not destined to be as lucky.
Well, she had some savings in hand, and even though they had separated from the big family, the family of four would definitely live a good life.
Also, some of Fifth Sister-in-law’s earnings would be given to the shared savings too, so when Mother-in-law had enough money in her hand, the whole family would have a better life as well.
Hence, she decided to leave the money making job to her fifth sister-in-law. She was sure that Fifth Sister-in-law would not forget about her, whenever she was going to make a fortune.
As she thought about this, Ms. Xu felt slightly comforted.
From that moment on, she dropped her strange thoughts.
The whole family had no idea what Ms. Xu had been through. Qiao Xuan spent the following days at home, since she was really tired in the past few days of non-stop mountain visits.
Shao Taotao was making the shoe soles, and Qiao Xuan helped her.
There were no other entertainment things she could do, so she got really bored and decided to kill the time by doing some needle work.
