Chapter 5
"Where did you get this ginseng?"

Several adults gathered around when they heard Lin Changlu's words.

"Father, you read that right, this is ginseng?"

Lin Darong looked at this inconspicuous little thing in disbelief.

"It should be true. I saw it before when I was a helper in a big family."

"Then we've made a fortune. I heard that this ginseng is a rare item. It should be able to sell for a lot of money!"

When Dalang Erlang heard that this thing was very valuable, he immediately told them what happened on the mountain today and what happened to the pheasant before.

When Mrs. Pei heard this, the hands holding A Li trembled, and said excitedly: "It seems that our Li Li is really a little fairy! I don't know what kind of luck our family has had to encounter such a good thing."

After speaking, he kissed Ah Li.

Lin Changlu said: "I don't think Lili is an ordinary person. You have to keep your mouth shut about this matter, and you must not reveal half of it. If anyone with a heart finds out, people like us may not be able to protect Lili. Do you know?" ?”

Everyone else nodded vigorously, expressing that they would never mention this matter outside.

They discussed at the dinner table that the rabbits would stay at home to eat, and the ginseng would be taken to the county tomorrow to see how much it could be sold for.

They don't know how to keep them, so they might as well sell them for silver as soon as possible.

Ah Li doesn't care how much ginseng can be sold for, she only cares about when rabbits can eat.

I fell asleep at night, still muttering about eating meat.

But Pei's heart ached, thinking that her family was too poor, and her daughter was thinking about eating meat in her dreams.

Early the next morning, before dawn, she got up and stewed the meat.

At this time, everyone was asleep, and the few families near their home thought they were dreaming when they smelled the smell of meat.

After stewing the meat, Mrs. Pei cleaned the skin of the rabbit and put it aside. Then Lin Changlu tanned the skin and made it into shoes for Ah Li to wear in winter.

Ah Li didn't see her mother after waking up, and climbed down on the bench beside the bed.

"Dengdengdeng" ran outside.

Yan Shi was washing dishes by the well, when she saw Ah Li running out without shoes on, she quickly wiped off the water on her hands and walked over to hug her up.

"Ouch, my sweet carp, you're awake, you got up without putting on your shoes."

Ah Li rubbed his eyes, smiled and put his arms around Yan Shi.

"The carp is hungry."

"Okay, let's eat right away. Mother has stewed the meat early in the morning, and I'm waiting for you to wake up to eat!"

Yan Shi was pregnant and couldn't hold her for too long, so she put her next to the table and asked her to sit and wait obediently.

Every time Ah Li ate a new food, she would be very happy. Knowing that she could eat it, Mrs. Pei simply stewed the two rabbits together, leaving her a big bowl full of meat.

Ah Li ran around behind Yan Shi like a follower after eating.

In the afternoon, Lin Darong and Lin Errong came back from the county.

Let Dalang go to the field and call Lin Changlu and Pei back.

As soon as they got home, before they had time to wash their hands, they were dragged into the house by Mr. Lin, and let a few younger ones watch at the door.

"Father, mother, do you know how much this ginseng sold for?"

"Looking at you like this, you should sell a lot!"

"Sold for 100 taels."

"What! 100 taels."

Both Lin Changlu and Pei opened their mouths in surprise.

Lin Darong drank his saliva and continued: "We went to Xinglintang, the old doctor there said that it's not a good year, and they can only pay 80 taels. Unexpectedly, we happened to meet Cheng's family, a rich family in the county, who needed ginseng, so we went straight out. I bought ginseng for 100 taels."

"100 taels is a lot, we have to keep our mouths shut about this matter."

Then Lin Darong took out five 20 taels of silver ingots from his skirt and put them on the table.

"Father, mother, all the money is here, please put it away!"

It was also the first time for Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yan to look at so much silver. Their eyes were fixed on the silver, but they were not greedy.

Mrs. Pei thought for a while and said, "It is thanks to Lili that we have this money. My idea is to leave 40 taels for Lili, save it as a dowry, and leave 60 taels for household use. What do you think?"

Lin Darong was the first to express his opinion, "I agree."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her man, feeling a little disapproving in her heart, she felt that a girl would spend so much money as a dowry.

But she didn't dare to say it, so she could only agree with it.

Lin Errong and Yan's loved A Li as much as their own daughter, and agreed immediately.

Others don't need to say more.

For them, it was an overnight success, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

Ah Li was hugged by Mrs. Pei, seeing everyone laughing, she also laughed.

Seeing that Ah Li suddenly remembered something, Lin Errong quickly took out a paper bag from his lapel.

"I almost forgot, we didn't take the bullock cart today, so we saved the copper coins and bought a pack of maltose for Lili."

"You guys are decent brothers, you know you love your sister, but don't save a few pennies in the future, you are also my children, and I love you too, you know?"

Lin Darong and Lin Errong were a little embarrassed when they heard what Mrs. Pei said.

"I know mother."

Lin Errong took out a small piece of caramel from the paper bag and fed it into Ah Li's mouth.

This is another time when she ate something different, her eyes lit up as soon as she ate it, and she liked it very much.

Just when she was feeling elated, she saw Saburo Shiro lying on the door, swallowing his saliva.

So he picked up the paper bag containing caramel on the table and slid it off Pei's body.

Then walk towards the door.

Ah Li picked out a large piece of candy from the paper bag and gave it to Si Lang.

Dalang Erlang felt that he was an adult, and he couldn't compete with children for food, so he didn't reach out to take it.

Ah Li curled her lips, tears welling in her eye sockets, with an expression of crying for them if they didn't want her.

The two boys were also afraid that Ah Li would cry, so they quickly took the candy and put it in their mouths, puffed out their cheeks and closed their eyes with a smile.

Ah Li also laughed, and she was happy when everyone was happy.

The adults in the room didn't expect Ah Li to be so sensible at such a young age, and their hearts were so soft.

No one knew about their family's wealth, and they all pretended to be normal.

One month later, the people in the village basically returned to normal life after the flood.

The former school in the village was washed away by the flood because of disrepair, and the village head was devastated by this matter.

Their Taohua Village is an hour away from the county by bullock cart, and the schools in the county are so expensive that they, the people who rely on farming, can't afford it.

Unexpectedly, now someone is willing to pay money to rebuild the school, and there will be a master to teach, which makes the whole Taohua Village excited.

Lin Changlu's worries were finally resolved, and the family now believed in their hearts that Ah Li was really their family's lucky star, a little fairy sent to them by God.
