Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 224 Don’t Be a Male Wife (3)

But ever since Song Ruoniang left home, she hated going to the river to wash clothes the most.

The women in the village were chatting about family matters while washing clothes. Everyone was curious about why Song Ruoniang and Ning Ning left home.

Although splitting up a family is not uncommon, it has never been done this way.

Judging from Li's character, if she had any reason, she would make the whole village know about it.

But this time she didn't even dare to fart, which showed that what they did was really too much and made Song Ruoniang and Ning Ning unbearable.

Everyone was very curious about what was going on. The less Li said, the more they kept asking. Li didn't dare to argue with so many people at the same time, but she also couldn't let the clothes at home get moldy.

So every time she went to wash clothes, she was like a thief, going when there were few people around, and rushing back after finishing the clothes quickly.

Even so, she couldn't avoid being criticized.

Damn it, this isn’t a solution. I might as well have a big fight with them and let them know that I’m not a pushover!

Li rubbed her sore wrists from work, made up her mind, encouraged herself, and went to the river with a basin in hand.

Unexpectedly, no one had time to pay attention to her today, and the focus of the conversation was on Ning Ning.

"You know, Ning Ning went into the mountains!"

"Hey, how old is he? No one is following him, so he went into the mountains alone?"

"What can we do? He has no land. If he doesn't go into the mountains, will he have to rely on Song Ruoniang's embroidered handkerchiefs to make a living?"

"Did he gain anything?"

"Yes, yes, quite a few. I heard that he killed several rabbits and skinned them to sell in town. He said he would keep the rabbit meat to nourish his mother."

"Oh, this child is so filial, there are so many rabbits, how much meat they will get!"

"The rabbits are very fat, each weighing five or six pounds. I heard that Ning Ning went to the mountains to catch them. Our head of the family felt sorry for them and helped them on the day of moving. Now he gave half of the rabbit he caught to my family."

"This child is really kind. Well, then you will have rabbit meat to eat!"

As he spoke, everyone present swallowed their saliva at the same time.

The villagers are not well off and no one can eat meat often. So when they think of the deliciousness of rabbit meat, they can't help but feel a little envious.

If I had known earlier, I would have gone to help with the move. Who would have known that they could get meat by helping out?

"Ah, Ning Ning is pitiful. Although rabbit meat is delicious, he got it by risking his life in the mountains. It seems that in addition to rabbit meat, he also picked some medicinal herbs, such as aconite. He took them to the town to sell today. It seems that the drugstore will accept them. Oh, I don't understand."

Everyone was talking about this, looking askance at Li, saying that she was committing a sin. People might all be biased, but none was as biased as she was. How could she force the mother and son into this state?

But Li's mind was no longer here, and she didn't care about everyone's looks.

She hurriedly washed her clothes and left, going straight back to Ning Ning's house.

Rabbit meat!

Lots of rabbits!

Even the neighbor Ning Ning was given it, so why not give it to her grandmother!

No, she has to score at least two!

After the separation, she was a little worried, afraid that Ning Ning would say nonsense outside.

Later, when he found out that he hadn't heard any rumors, he felt relieved, thinking that Ning Ning was only in his teens, and that his family wanted to send him to be a male wife, so he must be embarrassed and didn't dare to tell anyone.

Since you still have some dignity, that's easy to deal with. What Li is good at is being shameless!

Ning Ning happened to be away today, so she went to block Song Ruoniang!

What she heard was correct, Ning Ning was indeed not at home at this time.

After the family split up, he and Song Ruoniang moved to a small house at the foot of the mountain.

This place is not big. It was the house built by my grandfather in the past. No one lived here for a long time, so it became quite desolate.

Recently Ning Zhu felt that the house was too noisy and not conducive to his studies, so he wanted to move out. Li loved him so much that she specially asked someone to renovate the house, and now it is just the right size for the mother and son to live in.

Afterwards, Ning Ning gave Song Ruoniang some instructions and went into the mountains.

Song Ruoniang was of course worried, but Ning Ning repeatedly assured her that he would not go too far, and said that he had learned a little from the doctor and might be able to collect some herbs. Song Ruoniang had no choice but to agree.

Ning Ning got up early the next morning, put the basket on her back and trotted up the mountain.

The smaller branches on the mountain were cut down by the villagers for firewood, and the wild vegetables were dug up until there were very few left, leaving only some weeds.

He walked towards the back mountain, where the vegetation was lush and green. Unknown wild flowers dotted among the green grass like stars, and the wind blew, bringing bursts of fragrance.

But Ning Ning had no intention of appreciating it, she was only focused on finding what she needed.

where is it?

Ning Ning looked specifically towards the sunny side and found it!

On the hillside ahead, there grows a kind of grass that looks like leeks, with small flower spikes.

He hurried over and carefully dug out a plant. There was a pointed object attached to the root of the grass, which was shaped a bit like a date pit.

Haha, Cyperus rotundus!

As I recall, I saw the neighborhood children picking them in the mountains and playing with them in their hands.

But the villagers didn’t know what it was and couldn’t eat it, so they threw it away after it was fresh for a while.

They don’t know that this is a very good medicinal herb that can regulate menstruation, relieve pain, and treat indigestion.

Ning Ning started picking the fruits into the basket. By the time he had picked half the basket, he was already sweating profusely from exhaustion.

It was noon now. Ning Ning took a few bites of the steamed bread he brought with him. The bread was cold and hard, so hard that it could almost break one's teeth, but he didn't care.

After quickly filling his stomach, he started a fire with a flint and burned off the hairs of the Cyperus rotundus bit by bit.

After finishing everything, he stood up and stretched, deciding to stretch his muscles.

Closing his eyes, he used his mental power to carefully explore the surroundings, so that no tiny sound could escape his ears.

Then, he seemed to have caught something, and ran quickly to the woods nearby. Then, he picked up a few stones and threw them heavily with his mental power. A rabbit was hit by the stones and fell to the ground in an instant!

In one afternoon, he killed several rabbits, plus collected some Cyperus rotundus, it was a good harvest. When Song Ruoniang saw him descend the mountain safely, she finally felt relieved.

What she was most worried about was Ning Ning's safety. She didn't care that much about how much she got from the mountain.

The next morning, Ning Ning went to the town carrying the Cyperus rotundus she had collected.

When he arrived in the town, he found a pharmacy according to his original body's memory. There were various medicinal herbs mixed together, with a special smell.

It couldn’t be said to smell pleasant, but Ning Ning had worked as a doctor in another world, so he was very familiar with this smell and even missed it.

Behind the counter of the drugstore, a middle-aged man with a short beard was counting the bills with his head down.

"Shopkeeper, I have some Cyperus rotundus here, would you like to take it?"

The shopkeeper looked up and saw a young man dressed in farm clothes. He raised his hand nonchalantly and said, "Let me see."

Ning Ning put down the basket and handed it to him.

He took a look, then reached out and flipped through the bottom, a little surprised, "It's actually burned clean, I didn't realize you're such an expert."

"Oh, I'll spend a few days with Lang who passed by."

The shopkeeper didn't bother to ask, "Well, it's not bad. I'll take it. Five cents per tael."

Ning Ning had been paying careful attention to the prices these days, and knowing that the other party had not cheated her, she readily handed over the basket, "Okay, I'll give it all to you."

This basket of Cyperus rotundus weighed about ten pounds and was sold for five hundred coins.
