The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 83 What to do if it's poisonous?
"Sister!" Shi Tou quickly picked up his hoe and chased after her. "Slow down, wait for me!"

A soft, sweet little voice followed, "Mother! Su!"

Yuanyuan, perched on Little Gray's back, directed it to catch up. The little guy's big eyes sparkled, and its short arms flailing towards Shang Wan, "Mommy, come here!"

I want to go hiking in the mountains with my mother!

“My dear,” Shang Wan pointed to the dark clouds in the sky, “I’ll take you there when the weather is nice.”

It's fine for her and Shi Tou to get a little rained on, but she can't let the little guy get wet too.

"No...climb!" Yuanyuan bravely puffed out her little chest and clapped her hands. "Go!"

"Next time." Shang Wan glanced down at Xiao Hui, who seemed to receive some command and turned around with Yuan Yuan, speeding towards Lu Chengjing's direction.

Roundy, whose little bun almost got shaken apart: ? ? ?

By the time the little guy realized what was happening, he was already sitting in his father's arms. Shang Wan and Shi Tou had long since disappeared from sight.

Yuanyuan: !!!
The little guy hugged himself with both arms, his chubby little face drooping as if he were annoyed, like a pufferfish.

Lu Chengjing gently poked the little pufferfish's puffed-up cheek with his fingertip and coaxed his daughter in a gentle voice.

The mountain is covered with lush vegetation, and the light is even dimmer than outside due to the layers of tree canopies blocking out the light.

Shi Tou used a hoe to clear away the vines and stepped aside to let Shang Wan pass first.

"Sister, the Lin family isn't contributing anything. What will happen when the grain is distributed?"

"Isn't there a standard?" Shang Wan said. "There are different ways to distinguish between those who don't contribute and those who don't contribute. Why are you worrying about them?"

While carefully examining the surrounding plants, Shi Tou said, "I'm just worried that they'll cause trouble again when the grain is distributed. I don't want to drag our family into it again."

Shang Wan said, "You should be worried about the Lin family if they don't cause trouble."

Minor squabbles are nothing to worry about; the real concern is that the Lin family might suddenly pull something big.

Shi Tou frowned. "Sister, why is the Lin family making trouble for us? We didn't invite them."

"It's for profit." Shang Wan nimbly climbed the tree, grabbed the snake that was attacking the baby birds, twisted it off, threw it into her basket, and jumped down from the tree. "Just because you don't provoke others doesn't mean others can't take action against you. We just need to mind our own business."

"Oh." Stone nodded, glancing at the snake in the basket. "Sister, shall we have snake soup for lunch?"

"No." Shang Wan casually plucked a vine and twisted it into a loop.

“Your brother-in-law is in poor health and has been taking medicine recently, so he needs to make sure he gets enough nutrition. Xiao Huan said that Dragon and Phoenix Soup is very nourishing, so let’s hunt a pheasant later and make Dragon and Phoenix Soup together so we can all get some nourishment.”

Shi Tou said, "I remember that Dragon and Phoenix Soup is a medicinal dish. Although it is very nourishing, it is not suitable for everyone. Doctor Sun said that my brother-in-law is weak from birth and cannot eat just anything. Now that he is taking medicine, can my brother-in-law eat this Dragon and Phoenix Soup?"

“Yes, he can eat it. When Xiao Huan went to get the medicine, she asked Brother Yuan. Brother Yuan said that your brother-in-law is weak and needs to eat some nourishing food. Xiao Huan remembered the Dragon and Phoenix Soup and asked about it. Brother Yuan said that he can eat it, just a little bit.”

Upon hearing that a doctor had vouched for him, Shi Tou immediately felt relieved and asked, "Sister, besides the Dragon and Phoenix Soup, what other dishes are there for lunch?"

"I didn't bring you here for a picnic." Shang Wan reached out and turned his head to the other side. "Focus on finding herbs, don't slack off."

The two walked deeper into the area, and Shi Tou recognized many medicinal herbs. He casually dug some up and put them in his basket, intending to take them back and see how to process them.

Shang Wan saw a tree with branches laden with small fruits. The tree was over ten feet tall, and the fruits were oval, green, and somewhat like dates.

She leaped down, grabbed three, wiped them quickly, and took a bite.

It's sweet and sour with a slightly astringent taste; it's edible.

Shi Tou took a fruit from Shang Wan's hand, popped it into his mouth, chewed it, spat out the pit, and thought it tasted alright. He asked curiously, "Sister, what kind of fruit is this?"

Shang Wan shrugged. "I don't know."

Shi Tou glared at her. "You didn't know that? Why did you eat it? What if it was poisonous?" Shang Wan spat out the pit and said casually, "I was just testing for poison."

Stone:"……"

Should he leave a will first?
"Just kidding, why the long face?" Shang Wan smiled and pointed to two birds pecking at the fruit on the treetop. "They've already eaten it, so it's unlikely to be poisonous."

She wasn't foolish enough to actually test the poison on herself.

Shi Tou was relieved and looked at the tree full of fruit. He said eagerly, "Sister, let's pick some to take back for brother-in-law and the others to try."

Seeing that the boy wanted to climb the tree, Shang Wan nodded, "Go ahead and pick them. These fruits are probably not fully ripe yet. Just pick a few to try."

"Okay!" Stone replied, put down the hoe, and jumped up the tree trunk.

Judging from his skillful movements, he can climb trees.

Shi Tou picked some fruit and threw it down, which Shang Wan caught in her basket. After picking about twenty, Shang Wan waved, "That's enough, come down."

Stone wanted to imitate his sister's heroic leap, but when he looked down at the height, his legs started to tremble before he even jumped.

He swallowed hard and obediently slid down the tree trunk.

Shang Wan picked two large leaves, wrapped the fruit together, and placed them on top of the herbs.

Shi Tou squatted down and carried the bamboo basket on his back, as well as the hoe. With him there, he couldn't let his sister get tired.

The two walked at a brisk pace, heading towards the valley.

Stone asked in bewilderment, "Sister, we've already hunted down a pheasant, why are we still going to the valley?"

“I remember you mentioned a very valuable herb that thrives in damp, sunny environments. There’s a river flowing through this valley, and the vegetation is mostly shrubs, so the sunlight is quite plentiful. We might have that herb,” Shang Wan said. “Since we’re here, let’s go take a look.”

"A very valuable herb?" Shi Tou frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Sister, you're not talking about Dendrobium officinale, are you?"

“That’s the name,” Shang Wan said. “If you’re going to sell medicinal herbs, you naturally have to find the expensive ones to sell to.”

Unfortunately, the weather turned against them. Before they even reached the valley, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a muffled rumble of thunder, and then large raindrops began to fall.

The leaves were pattered and trembled.

With lightning flashing and a downpour imminent, staying in the dense forest was clearly not a wise move.

Shang Wan grabbed the basket and hoe with one hand, hoisted the stone onto her shoulder with the other, and hurried home.

The stone was upside down, watching the scenery rushing closer and then flying away, feeling itself falling and rising again, its eyes spinning like mosquito coils, and its stomach churning.

Does his sister fly?

Can you try a different position where your head isn't facing down?

"You're back!" Xiao Huan exclaimed with delight as she looked at the person rushing out of the rain. "Sister, come in quickly."

Shang Wan carried Shi Tou into the shed, wiped the water off her face, and put him down. Shi Tou immediately got up, weak and shaky, and rushed back into the rain. Then came the sound of vomiting, which even the sound of rain couldn't drown out.

Xiao Huan asked in confusion, "Sister, what's wrong with Shi Tou?"

Shang Wan took the dry towel and dried her hair, saying as she did so, "Your health is too poor."

You'll get used to it after a few more times.

Stone: Who wants to get used to this kind of thing!
