Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 309. Encounter on the Road
Granny Pang had been keeping a close eye on her surroundings, and now she was extremely satisfied with the area.

What others see as weeds by the roadside are treasures in her eyes.

Not to mention the resources in the surrounding mountains. Once the young lady recovers, she will definitely go into the mountains; perhaps she will even have some unexpected gains.

It seems that the young lady and her companions have found a worthwhile place after arriving here. If the young lady wants to study medicine, this place is perfect for her.

"Granny, what are you looking at?" Bai Suihe asked with some concern when she saw Granny Pang staring blankly at the distant mountains.

"It's nothing. I just think this place is beautiful and not as bad as I imagined or heard about."

Bai Suihe said, "I heard that when the weather gets warmer, there will be a 'blocking qi' on this mountain, and the humidity will also be very high due to the weather."

I've heard there are many snakes, insects, and centipedes here, so we have to be extra careful everywhere.

Granny Pang chuckled, "Miss, this may be hard for others to accept, but for this old servant, it's a treasure."

The saying goes that medicine and toxicology are inseparable; in my eyes, they are both useful.

As for those snakes, insects, and rodents, this old servant will prepare some medicine to ensure they can't get near the house.

Bai Suihe said, "It's always been you who came up with the best ideas, Granny. I was thinking of going to the pharmacy in the spring to get some snake and insect repellent."

If you need anything, just let Lin Hua and the others know. They often go to the county town and will buy it for you.

"These are unnecessary. There are so many usable things around here, there's no need to waste money." Granny Pang didn't want to explain to Bai Suihe which herbs were medicinal herbs, for fear that Bai Suihe's curiosity would get the better of her and she might bend over and hurt her stomach.

Bai Suihe said, “Speaking of which, I’ve compiled some medical books before. I’d like to ask you to help me see which ones are suitable for me to read now.”

Since she was going to study in this direction, Bai Suihe naturally had to make thorough preparations.

She had some books stored in her online space before, and a couple of days ago, when Gu Kaiyuan went to the city, she asked him to help her buy some more.

"That's fine, I'll go take a look later. But you should also take care to rest, Miss. Learning medicine is not something you can master in a short time."

Bai Suihe: "Don't worry, Granny, I know what I'm doing."

I've just been bored lately, so I occasionally take it out to pass the time in my room.

Having some basic knowledge first will make learning easier later on.

As the master and servant talked, they arrived at the riverbank. The land behind it belonged to them. The men that the old woman had brought were already working hard there, and they had even dug the ditches. They were just waiting to open the waterway so that water could be drawn into the fields.

“Being close to the water is really a great advantage,” Bai Suihe said, noticing that their land was upstream, and with just a little interception, a steady stream of water would flow in.

If this area hadn't been a grove of trees before, they probably wouldn't have gotten such a good spot.

“After a few years of cultivation, this will be excellent paddy field.” Granny Pang nodded in agreement. She had lived on the farm for a long time, and although she was mostly devoted to medicine, she also had some knowledge of farming.

“Buying this land is a good deal, but there’s really no need to waste money on these barren mountains nearby.” Having spent the last few days with Bai Suihe and gotten to know the couple’s temperaments, Granny Pang brought up this topic.

Although the mountain was cheap, it still cost a lot of money.

Actually, you could buy all the land nearby, so you could have a small farm and have some income.

“Granny, don’t underestimate these mountains. When spring comes, we’ll have someone clear them out so we can plant fruit trees and tea plants. We can also raise some chickens and ducks on the mountains. Although there won’t be any income in the short term, in a few years, these will be a treasure trove.” Granny Pang thought about it and realized it made sense. “It’s just that the initial investment is too large. If you really want to raise chickens and ducks, I can provide you with some medicine.”

Large-scale livestock farming wasn't something no one had considered, but rather something no one dared to do.

If there's a pandemic, they could go bankrupt.

"Granny Pang knows all these things," Bai Suihe now felt that her greatest asset was Granny Pang. With such an all-around person by her side, she could imagine a wonderful future.

"They're pretty much the same," Granny Pang said somewhat reservedly. "Although we've been given the medicine, proper management is still very important, and we need to prepare the preliminary work as well..."

As the master and servant were talking and preparing to slowly walk back, they saw Liu Yun and her daughter carrying baskets walking towards them.

In just a few days, Liu Yun looked much more haggard. Her hair was not only messy, but also had a lot of gray hairs.

As for Gu Antong, she was radiant, with a silver hairpin in her hair. If it weren't for the coarse cloth that toned down her appearance, she would have seemed to have returned to the Gu family mansion.

Because the disdain in the girl's eyes was the same as before.

All the hardships along the way couldn't smooth out her rough edges.

"Third sister-in-law, you've come out for a walk. It's been a while since I've seen you, and your belly has grown quite a bit."

Liu Yun's smile was somewhat fake; the corners of her mouth were tugged up, but it looked very stiff.

Gu Antong gently supported her mother's hand and bowed to Bai Suihe, saying, "Greetings, Third Aunt."

"An," Bai Suihe said, somewhat puzzled. Why did he suddenly come to her door again today? Or was it just a coincidence that they bumped into each other on the street?

"Sister-in-law, where are we going?"

Liu Yun: "I was just thinking of coming to see you. I've been busy with things at home and outside. I've been saying I'd come over and chat with you, but I haven't been able to find the time."

Now that my third brother and sister-in-law are doing better and better, and I don't have anything particularly impressive to offer, I just bought a basket of eggs from someone in the village.

Bai Suihe said, "Sister-in-law, you are so thoughtful. You are not having an easy time either. You should take these back and give them to the children to help them recover."

“They won’t be left without these children,” Liu Yun said, taking a step forward. “Your baby is due soon, and we want to do our part to help.”

Bai Suihe left the spot without making a sound and slowly walked towards her house. "I thank you on behalf of the child, but you should have seen that my family has everything we need."

"Sister-in-law, you should take your things back inside. It's cold outside, and I'm tired from walking."

Bai Suihe was so blatantly trying to drive them away, but Liu Yun and her daughter seemed not to understand and kept following behind. "It's okay, we're free now, so we might as well go over and take a look at your place."

We were really frantic that day. We had no other choice but to come to you for help.

I disturbed you that night and haven't been able to come and apologize to you since.

Hearing this, Bai Suihe stopped and looked at the mother and daughter. "Sister-in-law, we all know each other's backgrounds. Don't beat around the bush with me. There's no affection between us. Just say what you want to say."
