Qin Zhenzhen and Su Ning agreed to venture into the mountains the next day.

Early in the morning, Su Ning informed Qin Zhenzhen, “My Fifth Brother will join us. He’s going to gather firewood.”

“Alright,” Qin Zhenzhen agreed without objection.

She had intended to explore the mountains to identify the herbs growing there. She had even fabricated the story about collecting seasonings to share with Su

Ning.

After having breakfast, the three of them set off.

Curious villagers couldn’t help but inquire, “Su Ning, are you three going to gather firewood in the mountains?” Su Ning nodded, “Yes.”

“Then why are you carrying a basket?”

“We’re gathering wild fruits.”

“Haha, you three seem so relaxed!”

The Su Family’s water fields had been rented out to her uncle’s family for cultivation since there were no adults at home. The rent was not substantial.

Su Ning and her brother cultivated the remaining dry land, planting soybeans and peanuts in spring and sweet potatoes in autumn. Sweet potatoes served as their main source of sustenance.

Observing that Qin Zhenzhen had no intention of providing further explanation, Su Ning decided not to press the matter.

Actually, Qin Zhenzhen’s main purpose was to dig medicinal herbs, which required her to carry the basket.

As the villagers watched them leave, they began discussing among themselves. “That’s quite strange. Doesn’t the chubby girl look like a different person now?”

“She used to be so lazy. I heard she would eat and sleep all day, and when she slept, she wouldn’t eat anything. That’s why she became so fat.” “But now, she can fish, fry pancakes, and even set up stalls to earn money.”

“And now we have to go into the mountains to fetch firewood.”

“But that’s not all! Have you noticed that she has lost weight recently? Her waist has become smaller, and her face looks better.”

“It’s not just her. Su Ning and Su Cheng have also gained weight and their faces look healthier. ”

Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but smile to herself.

Indeed, Su Ning and Su Cheng had visibly gained weight.

And she had lost some weight herself in recent days.

All thanks to the spiritual water on her fingers.

Spiritual water was truly miraculous and versatile.

It could help with weight loss and weight gain.

When they reached the mountain, Su Cheng started gathering firewood while Qin Zhenzhen spotted a yam vine on the opposite side.

Excitedly, she told Su Ning, “I’m going over there. I saw many yams!”

Su Ning looked puzzled. “What are yams?”

Qin Zhenzhen explained, “Yams are a type of medicinal herb. They are root plants that grow underground.”

“Look, there are small mounds of medicinal grains on the vines. Those are yam vines.”

Su Ning noticed the vines too and asked with curiosity, “Are yams valuable?”

Seeing Qin Zhenzhen’s excitement, she assumed those herbs must be quite expensive.

Qin Zhenzhen replied, “If we dig them up and dry them at home, they can fetch a good price.

It’s more profitable than selling them directly.” Su Ning became eager. “Then let’s go dig them!” She regretted only bringing one small iron hoe in the basket. She wished she had brought two.

Qin Zhenzhen chuckled. “You can start picking the yams now. We can continue digging tomorrow. ”

In reality, Qin Zhenzhen wasn’t very optimistic about selling yams directly. It would involve hard work, and Su Ning and Su Cheng were still young. Her plan was not to make immediate money from this venture.

Instead, she intended to enlist the help of the villagers to harvest the yams, and then she would purchase them. Later, she would find a larger buyer in town to make a substantial profit.

For now, she wanted to create some samples.

Upon hearing the possibility of making money, Su Ning grew even more excited. She called out to Su Cheng, “Fifth Brother, Third Sister-in-law and I are going to the opposite mountain to dig yams.. Join us when you’re done with the firewood!”
