"call!"

Fang Wei's threatening voice grew louder, and he suddenly took a heavy step forward, thrusting the torch in his hand towards the viper.

The snake was startled and began to become agitated, seemingly hesitating between fleeing and attacking.

"ha!"

Fang Wei seized the opportunity, suddenly raised his hand, and flung the vest away!

The vest unfurled in mid-air and covered the viper.

Startled, the viper instinctively lunged at the piece of fabric, its fangs digging deep into the vest!

Fang Wei immediately aimed the torch at the spot seven inches below the snake's head and smashed it down hard!

"Bang!"

The viper was slammed hard into a vital spot, its body writhing and its tail slapping the ground repeatedly.

Fang Wei dared not soften his heart, and took the torch and smashed it again with all his might.

boom!

boom!

boom!

He only stopped, his hands trembling, when the viper had completely stopped moving.

"...Dead?"

Fang Wei hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached with the torch.

The viper lay limply on the withered leaves, its body covered in dents, and it was still biting the vest in its mouth.

He poked the viper a few times with the torch, but when it still didn't move, he used his machete to pry the vest off.

After putting on his clothes, Fang Wei cut a section of vine from the steep slope, rolled the snake's body into a ball, tied it tightly with the vine, and then put it into his basket.

This time, nothing stopped him from digging for Ganoderma lucidum.

Fang Wei carefully removed the decaying leaves and soil around the Ganoderma lucidum.

These wild Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms that have been around for a long time have very deep roots. If you accidentally break them, it will ruin their appearance and you'll have to sell them for ten yuan less!

After plucking for more than twenty minutes, with sweat dripping into his eyes, Fang Wei finally managed to pull out the last wisp of hair.

With a gentle lift, the palm-sized, dark red Ganoderma lucidum was completely revealed.

The cap has more than twenty rings layered on top of each other, and the flesh is quite thick and elastic when pressed.

If you smell it carefully, you can also detect a faint scent of grass and wood.

The pores on the back are also very fine and even, and the color is a very pure milky yellow, so the quality is quite good.

"This is good stuff..."

Fang Wei examined the Ganoderma lucidum carefully by the firelight and said regretfully, "It's a pity I can't give it to my wife and daughter."

This trip was definitely worthwhile!

Not only did they get the Ganoderma lucidum, they also got a viper!

Fang Wei wrapped the Ganoderma lucidum in a cloth, placed some decaying leaves at the bottom of the basket, carefully placed the Ganoderma lucidum on top, and then covered it with some wild grass as a disguise.

When he got home, he was so exhausted that he collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Wu Shaoli brought breakfast to the table in the yard, and her daughters stared at it longingly but dared not touch it.

"Don't be afraid, let's eat first. I'll make him something new when he wakes up. There'll be enough for him."

Upon hearing this, the girls immediately began to eat.

They were starving, but the man sleeping in the room wouldn't come out, and they were afraid of being beaten if they ate behind his back, so they didn't dare to move.

Fang Wei still hadn't woken up even after his mother and daughter had finished breakfast.

"Fang Wei? Time for breakfast..."

Wu Shaoli nervously pushed open the door and whispered, "Are you awake?"

The man on the bed remained motionless and was still snoring.

"..."

Wu Shaoli glanced around and immediately noticed that Fang Wei's shoes were covered in mud, and there seemed to be something extra in his basket.

Did he go up the mountain in the middle of the night?

Just as she was about to check what was in the basket on Fang Wei's back after he caught a brood of wild rabbits on the mountain yesterday, the man on the bed woke up.

"Wife? What's wrong?"

Fang Wei rubbed his eyes, yawned, and looked at Wu Shaoli. "Are you calling me to eat breakfast?"

"Hmm? Oh, right, breakfast is ready. Get up and eat."

Wu Shaoli stared at him, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "You... went out last night?"

Hehe~

Fang Wei became happy when the topic came up, and said with a smile, "I couldn't sleep last night, so I went for a walk on the back mountain and got some things."

"Did you make something?"

Wu Shaoli's gaze lingered on the basket on her back. Why did it look like pig feed inside?

We don't raise pigs at home, so why did Fang Wei go up the mountain to cut pig feed in the middle of the night?

She opened her mouth as if to ask something, but in the end, she swallowed it all back.

She still doesn't understand what happened yesterday, and she can't control Fang Wei, so why bother asking?

Fang Wei didn't notice his wife's little scheme. After finishing breakfast, he went out with his basket on his back.

"Big sister, he didn't yell at us just now."

Er Ya stood next to her older sister and whispered, "When I went to get some water, he asked me if I was full and if I wanted to eat some more with him."

"Tell me, is he... is he...?"

Er Ya hesitated and didn't finish her sentence, but she knew her older sister understood what she meant.

"...Stop dreaming."

Daya's eyes remained fixed on the direction Fang Wei had left, but her words were cold: "Wasn't he like this before when he wanted to get money from Mom?"

"You've forgotten the beatings you received after eating a little meat, haven't you?"

"..."

Er Ya wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and when she spoke again, her words became muffled.

"Ayaka's dad is so good to her, why are our dads like that? I want a dad like Ayaka's dad too."

Caihua's father never hit her, and he often bought her candy.

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Da Ya's face. Although she was young, she knew better than her mother and sisters what kind of person the man in the family really was.

When a stray cat mother sees her kittens being bullied by a dog, she will rush over to fight them.

But when she was bullied by other children in the village, the man acted as if he didn't see her at all, laughing and walking away with the disgusting men who had come to cause trouble at her house the day before.

"...Did you wash the diapers I asked you to wash yesterday?!"

Da Ya didn't want to mention that man anymore. She glared at her sisters and, with the air of an older sister, snapped, "Is the yard swept clean? Have the pots and bowls in the kitchen been washed?"

"And Siya! Didn't I tell you you're not allowed to bite your nails anymore?!"

"Quick! Big sister's angry!"

Seeing that their eldest sister was angry, the six younger sisters, some carrying her on their backs and others hugging her, all scattered in a rush.

"snort!"

Daya stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at them angrily. "All you do all day is eat and play! You never help with anything around the house!"

Don't be angry.

Wu Shaoli patted her eldest daughter's head and said softly, "There's nothing much going on at home this morning, go and play with Jiajia and the others."

"...I'm not going."

Daya lowered her head, not wanting her mother to see her expression. "Erya is such a lazybones, she doesn't even wash her diapers. I'll go wash them."
