A jinx, me? But I bring good fortune to my whole family!

Nothing happened that night. The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Su Xiulan opened her eyes.

She was constantly worried about her husband and checked him several times throughout the night to make sure he didn't have a fever anymore before she could finally relax.

However, the temperature is still a bit high, so it seems the medicine prescribed by the doctor is quite effective.

She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at her daughter.

What she saw almost made her faint.

She personally placed that ginseng next to her daughter's pillow yesterday.

It was tiny, thin and frail.

But what is that now? The leaves are thick, lush, and lush green, each one large and shiny, even more dazzling than the finest jade. At the top, there is even a string of bright red little fruits, more vibrant than red agate.

The pot was bulging, because the pot was too small, and some roots were sticking out of the soil, white and plump, which looked very pleasing.

"This!" Su Xiulan rubbed her eyes in disbelief, wondering if she had seen wrong.

Upon closer inspection, the ginseng remained the same.

Although she had never seen an old ginseng, she knew how crops grew. How could so many crops grow overnight?

At this moment, Nuannuan also woke up. The little girl opened her sleepy eyes and saw the bunch of red berries. Her eyes lit up with joy, "Wow! Caocao actually had a baby too!"

Su Xiulan suppressed her excitement, "Nuannuan, is this the grass from yesterday?"

Nuannuan nodded, her chubby little hands stroking the red fruit. "It says that if you drink your fill, you'll grow tall!"

Su Xiulan swallowed hard. This wasn't just growing taller; it was practically becoming a spirit.

But the daughter is a lucky charm. She can command crows to fight for her and make a ginseng grow for decades in one night. Isn't that normal?

She took a closer look and remembered what the older generation had said: ginseng is judged by its root head and skin color. The ginseng in front of her, with its exposed roots and weathered texture, was definitely not the small ginseng that was less than ten years old yesterday.

That would take at least fifty or sixty years!

He gained fifty years' worth of status in just one night! Who would believe that?!

Su Xiulan felt her head buzzing. She hugged Nuannuan tightly and whispered, "Nuannuan, this matter must be kept a secret. You can't tell anyone except me and your brother, understand?"

……

The Lin family's three sons were brought back home. There was nothing that could be done at the hospital, so they could only be taken care of obediently.

The eldest child is currently unable to take care of himself, the second child has a cast on his leg and needs help to go to the toilet, and the third child can hop around, but the doctor has advised him to minimize activity and wait until his injury is fully healed before putting weight on him to prevent any long-term effects.

All three young men had gotten into trouble, and Old Mrs. Lin felt incredibly aggrieved.

Seeing his eldest daughter-in-law only fueled his anger.

He picked up a broom handle and started hitting people. This wasn't the first time his eldest daughter-in-law had been beaten, and she felt wronged.

The whole family used to say that he was a burden, a jinx, and a jinx, and that they had killed him out of kindness. But that's not what they said back then.

Now that something has gone wrong, all the blame is being placed on him.

"Because of the stupid thing you did, I've lost all my savings for my funeral!"

To pay for her three sons' medical treatment, she spent all of their pension money, even their savings for their funerals. Old Mrs. Lin was heartbroken.

As Wang Guixiang dodged, she shouted, "Mother, don't listen to those people outside spouting nonsense! He's just a jinx, how could he be a lucky star? If he were really a lucky star, how could the third son and his wife be dead, and we couldn't even find their bodies?"

Old Mrs. Lin pounded her chest and stamped her feet, "You're still using this to rub salt in my wounds!"

It was so much better when the third son was at home; he handed over all his earnings.

The family is now dirt poor. After the third son left, the fourth son took over the job, but he was a troublemaker and was sent back after less than two months.

The three sons all stayed at home to farm and earn some work points, living a very frugal life.

"If that little brat Nuannuan were here, we could probably make a couple more bucks!"

Wang Guixiang's eyes darted around, thinking that the old lady had really regretted it, but it turned out that she wanted to sell her granddaughter.

If she had known that the wretched girl could be sold for money, she would never have lured her to the deep mountains.

That day, I was chased out to look for someone. I ran down to the bottom of the cliff and searched around several times but couldn't find anyone. They were probably already eaten to pieces by wild wolves.

After returning home, Wang Guixiang kept a low profile, but the old lady still wouldn't let it go.

"Since that brat isn't here, we'll use your Er Ya!"

The old lady's eyes hardened. All three of her sons needed their dressings changed, but without money, the doctor wouldn't come to their door!

Upon hearing that her daughter was to be sold, Wang Guixiang immediately objected, her eyes red with anger, and shouted, "No way! Oh dear, she's your own granddaughter, how can you bear to part with her..."

"This old woman can't even afford to eat, what's wrong with selling my granddaughter?"

"If you keep nagging, I'll sell you out!"

……

Grandma Gu was carried home and groaned all night, but the second son and his wife slept like logs and didn't come to check on her even once.

The old lady was in pain, and the scratches on her skin were burning.

Not only did her second son not come to check on her, but when he heard her moaning in the middle of the night, he kicked her off the bed, yelling, "Go sleep outside! It's the middle of the night, can't a person get any sleep?"

The nights in Northeast China are quite cold. The heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) has been sealed off, and everyone sleeps on the kang while it is still warm.

The ground was so cold it caught ice crystals, making it impossible for anyone to sleep.

The old lady opened her mouth, "Second son, how can you sleep outside...?"

Her son had already turned over and fallen asleep, completely ignoring her.

Grandma Gu suddenly remembered that she had caught a cold a few days ago, had a fever, and coughed in the middle of the night.

Su Xiulan got up to pour her water and massage her back; she hadn't slept well all night.

But now...

It's all Su Xiulan's fault! That bitch, didn't she see she was injured? Why didn't she come to serve her?

No, we have to find a way to restore the third son's wife to her original state.

The old lady was feeling very frustrated, and coupled with the pain from her wound, she barely slept all night.

It wasn't until dawn that the old lady finally came up with a solution.

"The second son's wife..."

Waking up, Zhang Aidi glared at the old lady irritably. "Can't you let me sleep in the morning?"

The old lady quickly smiled apologetically, "Second daughter-in-law, I've been thinking about this all night. Jinbao's like this, it breaks my heart as his grandmother. We can't just let this go!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Aidi perked up, jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), put on her cotton-padded coat, and asked, "Mother, do you have any good ideas?"

The old woman's eyes flashed fiercely. "If you ask me, it's all because of that little jinx she picked up!"

"The doctor at the health center said yesterday that the third son's condition is not good, and they've told us to prepare for his passing. After he's gone, I'll hand over his job to the second son!"

"That little jinx can't be allowed to stay either. Go out and ask around later if anyone wants a child bride! That girl looks like a vixen; I reckon someone's definitely going to want her!"
