Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 62 Big Harvest

Bai Quanlu, who was in the big tree, had no idea what his niece was doing. The wild boars had clearly been killed, so why was she running off to another place, even though there were still wild boars there?

He was extremely anxious, but dared not make a sound, for fear of holding his niece back.

When Bai Jing arrived at the location designated by the system, she was completely stunned.

"So many?"

[Host, according to this system's scan, there are actually five ginseng roots here that are over a hundred years old. These are really good items. Would you like to exchange them?] Little Gold was practically drooling.

To its surprise, its host immediately refused.

"System, please store all the ginseng that is over a hundred years old into the system space."

Five hundred-year-old ginseng roots—why would she exchange such a precious item for something from the system?

Besides, ever since she raided the bandit stronghold, the last thing she lacks is money.

[Ding, host, why don't you consider it? This century-old ginseng is quite valuable.] Little Gold tempted him relentlessly.

"No, Xiao Jin, please put it into the system space for me." Bai Jing remained unmoved.

Xiao Jin had no choice but to return to his system space in disappointment.

After the system space took away the five century-old ginseng plants, several large holes appeared on the ground.

Because of the departure of these few century-old ginseng roots, the surrounding soil has become loose.

The inner eye could also see the appearance of other ginseng in the thin soil layer at the edge of the cave.

Without further delay, Bai Jing called out to her second uncle, who was hiding in the tree.

"Second Uncle, Second Uncle, come quick! I've found something good!"

Bai Quanlu couldn't wait any longer and was about to climb down the tree when he heard Xiao Jing's shout. Without saying a word, he climbed down the tree.

He was first shocked by the wild boars lying on the ground not far away, and then, fearing that he would interfere with Xiao Jing's affairs, he quickly avoided the wild boars and ran towards Xiao Jing.

He was shocked when he saw what Xiaojing was digging in the ground with her little hands.

"Xiaojing, is this... is this the legendary ginseng?"

Just now, Bai Jing pulled out a 70-year-old ginseng with her bare hands from the side of that century-old ginseng cave.

The system naturally told her this year.

“Yes, Second Uncle, there are quite a few here. Let’s dig them all up, except for the small ones.”

"Xiaojing, I can't tell the difference. I don't know which one is big and which one is small."

Uncle Bai hesitated to make a move.

"It's alright, I'll tell Second Uncle." As she spoke, she pointed to several ginseng roots with thick stems and said, "Second Uncle, look, these stems are bigger than the others, so the ginseng roots below them must be even bigger. We should just dig up ones this big."

After saying that, she pointed to the small pole and said, "Forget about these, they're so small, there's no point in digging them up."

Uncle Bai looked enlightened, "Oh, oh, oh, I understand, okay, I'll listen to Xiaojing."

After having breakfast, they went up the mountain and didn't return for a long time, which made Aunt Bai Er and Aunt Bai San very worried at home.

Bai Quanfu kept looking up at the mountain, but he never saw the person he wanted to see.

"I'll go into the mountains to look for it in a bit." Suddenly, Bai Quanfu's voice rang out behind the two of them.

This startled the second and third aunts. They knew Bai Jing's abilities, and although they were worried, there were some things they both wanted to keep from their eldest brother.

"No need, brother. They must have found something on the mountain. They'll be back when it gets dark." The two of them wouldn't tell their brother, no matter how worried they were.

To dissuade their elder brother from going into the mountains, the two had to pretend they weren't worried, even though they secretly found their elder brother an eyesore.

Bai Quanfu didn't want to listen to them, but Bai Yong quickly coaxed him into giving up.

"Dad, Dad, play with me!"

Bai Yong was pushed forward by his second sister.

In eight-year-old Bai Yong's heart, his older sister was much closer than his father.

Meanwhile, the two, who had caused their families great concern, had already started a fire at the water source, with two pheasants on it. The meat was almost cooked, glistening with oil, and looked very tempting.

"Second Uncle, I'm planning to share some of these ginseng roots with Third Uncle. What do you think?" Bai Jing was never one to keep things to herself; as long as she had them, she was willing to help her relatives.

The main reason is that her second and third uncles helped her family a lot in her previous life.

“Of course, you found all of these things, so you’re in charge.” Bai Quanlu’s attention was completely focused on the two roasted chickens in front of him.

Seeing her second uncle like this, Bai Jing felt warm inside. "Then it's settled. Give one portion to the third uncle, keep one portion for the second uncle, and I'll use the rest to help my mother recover."

They didn't dig up any of the younger ones; the ones they dug up were only about ten plants.

Bai Jing had no intention of exchanging such a good thing for money; it was better to keep it for herself.

Bai Quanlu agreed with this, saying, "You're right. Money is easy to earn, but life-saving things are hard to find, so we have to keep them safe."

He was happy, though he hadn't expected that he would receive such a generous gift from his niece after failing to help her in the mountains.

"By the way, Second Uncle, go home later and let your family know you're safe. I'll wait for you at the back of the old master's house. We'll go to the commune together in the dark. This meat won't keep for long; if we take it tomorrow, it might go bad." After eating and drinking her fill, Bai Jing began to arrange the next steps.

“You’re right. I’ll help you get the wild boar down there in a bit, then bring the ginseng home. I’ll come back later and help you carry the boar to the commune.” Bai Quanlu now follows his niece’s lead in everything; he does whatever she says.

"Okay, but don't tell my dad about this. I'm afraid he'll have some reservations." If the family's financial situation were worse, her dad could still resist helping that family of bloodsuckers. But if he knew the family was rich, he would definitely rebel.

She had no intention of testing her father's slightest bit of paternal love.

"I've written it down, but I won't tell my older brother."

The two men took the wild boar to the back mountain of the old master's house, and Uncle Bai went home. Bai Jing stayed there alone. She actually had a lot of affection for the back mountain of the old master's house, after all, she got her first pot of gold from there.

Now that her scans have been increased, she naturally wants to try her luck with any unclaimed property.

These things are useless in this day and age, so it's better to hand them over to the system in case of emergencies.

It's a pity, I couldn't find anything that satisfied her no matter how hard I looked. It seems she really did snatch all the treasures last time.

As darkness fell, Bai Jing stopped wandering around and stayed by the four tied-up wild boars, waiting for her second uncle to arrive.

Actually, it wouldn't be a problem not to bring her second uncle, but she was afraid that her family would worry if he didn't come, so she thought it would be better to bring him along.

She didn't have to wait long. When Uncle Bai came over, he was carrying a few pancakes, which his third aunt had prepared for her.

"You've been waiting impatiently, haven't you? Eat up, your third aunt put in a lot of eggs." After handing the pancake to Xiaojing, Uncle Bai began to untie a wild boar.

He could manage carrying one small one, but it was difficult for Xiaojing, who not only had to carry one but also both.

"You need to be well-fed to have energy."
