I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Chapter 12: Wild Ginseng Found

The next day,

"Little sister, wake up. I saw that you could walk yesterday. Why don't you come with us to the fields today? Don't worry, you don't need to do any work. I'm just afraid that you'll be bullied if you stay at home by yourself."

Su Banxia rubbed her eyes and saw Su Shiyan standing next to her, scratching his head and talking to her.

The thought of being alone in this small room was indeed quite boring, so Su Banxia forced herself to jump out of bed.

"Okay, I'll go to the fields with you."

Su Mo snorted coldly from the side.

"Get up and go to the fields! You're a pampered young lady with the life of a maid! I don't know who spoiled you with these bad habits!"

Su Banxia glared at Su Mo.

"You'd better not mess with me right now!"

Su Mo scoffed dismissively and strode out.

After getting up and tidying up, Su Banxia pretended to take the smallest hoe and followed Su Shiyan to the field.

Seeing this, Granny Liu, who was peeking out through the crack in the window, snorted coldly.

"That brat from the second wife's family has finally agreed to work in the fields. If she doesn't go to work today, I will definitely not let her off!"

Su Banxia followed Su Shiyan and the others to a patch of land at the foot of the mountain. They were there to weed. After sitting bent over for a while, Su Banxia felt a pain in her back and waist.

Hmm, I guess I'm just not cut out to be a beast of burden.

So Su Banxia took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and secretly slipped away to the bamboo forest behind to hide away.

But as soon as she entered the bamboo forest, she felt something soft under her feet, as if she had stepped on something. Su Banxia looked down and was so frightened that she jumped back.

"Wow, a snake, is it dead?"

Shocked, Su Banxia still used a stick to poke at the snake to take a look. She saw that the poor little snake's head had already been flattened by Su Banxia's foot. Upon seeing this, Su Banxia licked her lips.

"Hehe, I've never tasted snake meat before, why don't we make some and try it today!"

With that in mind, and seeing that no one was around, Su Banxia used a wooden stick to pry the snake into her spatial dimension. The spatial kitchen came in handy again, and in no time, Su Banxia had cooked a large pot of hot snake soup.

Su Banxia took a sip first, and found it extremely delicious. Then she drank it in big gulps. After finishing half a pot of snake soup, Su Banxia was finally full.

She looked at the remaining soup, first ladling a small bowlful into a bamboo bowl, then secretly called over Su Shiyan, who was working, and told him to drink the soup quickly.

Su Shiyan hadn't expected that his younger sister, who had only been out for a short while, would catch another snake and make snake soup. Smelling the delicious soup in his bowl, he ignored everything else and drank it all in one gulp. Seeing this, Su Banxia quickly instructed him:

"We can't let anyone else know about drinking the soup. There's only so much snake meat, and there are so many people in the Su family, how are we going to share it all?"

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"I know, little sister. Is there any soup left? I'll ask Mother to have a bowl too."

Su Banxia nodded to Su Shiyan.

"Hurry up, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Su Shiyan hurriedly ran out and stealthily pulled Wang Guihua into the bamboo grove as well. This time, Su Banxia scooped out the remaining half pot of snake soup, letting Wang Guihua and Su Shiyan drink their fill in one go.

This time, the two of them tacitly avoided mentioning leaving any for Su Hanzhang and Su Mo.

They saw it yesterday too; no matter what, Su Hanzhang always thinks of his parents first, and his wife and children are always the last in his heart.

Last night, Wang Guihua secretly cried in bed for a while. Now she has come to terms with it. Since she married into the Su family, she has never eaten anything good. Now, if there is anything delicious, she should not care about others and eat it herself first.

Seeing that the two had made considerable progress today, Su Banxia thought it would be good to share some delicious food with them in the future.

After Wang Guihua and Su Shiyan finished eating and drinking, they went out to help with the chores, while Su Banxia wandered around. Before the family was officially separated, she absolutely wouldn't do any work for the Su family.

Although laziness was the main reason, the more important reason was that she had to stick to her bottom line and never let the Su family take advantage of her.

As Su Banxia was walking, she noticed a plant not far away that looked familiar. She leaned closer to take a look.

Upon discovering that it was actually a wild ginseng, Su Banxia was overjoyed and quickly grabbed her small hoe to carefully begin digging. After digging for a long time, she had only managed to remove about a third of it.

Although the snake soup made in the space kitchen had given me a significant boost in strength, the wild ginseng before me was incredibly old and enormous.

Su Banxia continued digging with all her might, and it took her quite a while to finally dig out the entire wild ginseng.

Su Banxia picked it up and saw that this wild ginseng was at least several hundred years old. If she took it to a pharmacy, she would definitely get a good price for it.

Su Banxia thought for a moment and realized that she couldn't rashly exchange it for silver right now, otherwise the Su family would definitely try to take the silver from her.

Thinking this, Su Banxia took the wild ginseng back into her spatial dimension, planted it in the fertile field behind the hut, watered it with some well water, and then patted the soil off her hands with satisfaction, muttering to herself:

"Instead of farming the Su family's land, I'd rather cultivate my own large tract of fertile land. It seems I should dig up more medicinal herbs to plant in the future, and it would be best to also plant some grains and vegetables, so I'll never have to worry about going hungry again!"

After packing up her things in her spatial storage, Su Banxia left and headed towards the Su family's land.

"Su Banxia, ​​you're really good at slacking off! I haven't seen you working all day. Where have you been?"

Su Mo, who was sweating profusely from exhaustion, saw Su Banxia and began to mock her.

"Mind your own business! Why are you so nosy? If you're so nosy, why don't you go and taste the latrine at Old Li's house on the west side of the village to see how salty it is?"

Su Mo shuddered at the thought of Grandpa Li's disheveled appearance, her face flushed, and she yelled at Su Banxia:

"Su Banxia, ​​how disgusting are you!"

Seeing Su Mo's reaction, Su Banxia found it amusing. Ignoring Su Mo's angry stomping, she picked up her hoe and walked over to Wang Guihua, pouting sweetly:

"Mother, the sun is about to set, why don't we head back today?"

Wang Guihua straightened up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, glanced at the sky, and then turned to Su Hanzhang and called out:

"Honey, why don't we go back? My mother-in-law said that my sister-in-law moved back from her parents' house today, and she specifically told me to go back early to cook dinner."

Su Hanzhang stood up, glanced at Wang Guihua, then at Su Banxia standing beside her, and then spoke in a muffled voice:

"Okay, you guys go back first. I'll work a little longer. This plot of land must be finished today."

Hearing this, Su Shiyan couldn't bear to see his father working alone in the fields, so he smiled and said to Wang Guihua:

"Mom, you take your two younger sisters back and cook first. I'll stay and help Dad for a while longer."

Wang Guihua nodded and led Su Mo and Su Banxia back. Along the way, Su Mo kept sniffing the air.

"Mom, why do I smell a meaty odor on you?"
