Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm Chapter 163 There are No Ghosts

163 There are No Ghosts

I heard that you can also hunt? You’re really capable!” Perhaps the villager felt embarra.s.sed to ask her about it directly, so he praised her.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

“I learned it from my father when he was still alive. Although I wasn’t well, my memories were still there. My father said at that time that my accuracy is better than his.”

“At that time, it was too difficult to stay at home, so I went into the mountains to try it out. In the end, I discovered that I also have some talent in hunting.”

When her father was still around, he would occasionally enter the mountains, but he didn’t manage to catch much prey.

She used her father’s name for everything. If her mother didn’t say anything, who would find out?

“You’re bound to have good fortune after surviving a great disaster!” The villager sighed.

“Hehe, thank you for your kind words, Uncle Xiang!” Lin Xiaoyue laughed.

“I also found that ginseng when I was hunting,” she continued.

“At that time, I went to the clinic to have my injuries checked and just happened to see someone selling ginseng to the clinic. It was a whole plant with leaves. I saw that it looked similar to a plant I saw in the mountains, so I went over to take a closer look.”

“In the end, it was actually a mountain ginseng!”

The villager’s eyes were filled with excitement.

A mountain ginseng in exchange for a house, how good was that!

“After digging up the ginseng, I sent it to the clinic. He said that the ginseng I dug up was at least a hundred years old. He needed it, so he bought it.”

“Was it worth a lot of silver?”

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded

“Yes. It was with this money that we built the house.” She wasn’t prepared to say the exact amount.

The villager swallowed his saliva.

“Where did you find the ginseng?” He asked anxiously.

“At the back of the mountain.” Lin Xiaoyue continued to talk nonsense.

Seeing Liu s.h.i.+ looking at her nervously, Lin Xiaoyue quickly looked at her mother.

“Mother, don’t worry. I won’t go there in the future. Last time, I saw wolves and leopards by the stream and I was so scared,” Lin Xiaoyue winked at Liu s.h.i.+.

The excitement on the villager’s face disappeared in an instant.

Wolves and leopards? Those were dangerous beasts. Even if there were treasures deep in the mountains, they still had to stay alive.

Liu s.h.i.+ knew that her daughter said that on purpose. She cooperated with her and reprimanded Lin Xiaoyue, and then did not say much.

Only then did the family begin to pay their respects to Lin Xiaoyue’s father.

Liu s.h.i.+ bowed to the tombstone, and the rest kowtowed.

As they knelt down, they all said something to Third Uncle Lin in their hearts.

Then, Lin Xiaozhi burned some joss paper.

“Father, don’t worry. Li Xiao and I are here, so we won’t let mom and Xiaozhi suffer in the future.”

“After the autumn harvest, the academy will open again. I will send Xiaozhi and Qing’er to school. Our family will have a scholar in the future.”

Liu s.h.i.+ wiped her tears and did not say anything.

Lin Xiaoyue stepped forward and held Liu s.h.i.+’s hand to comfort her.

After burning the joss paper, they left.

Lin Xiaoyue even said goodbye to the villager and asked him to help explain when others talked about her.

The villagers happily agreed and praised Lin Xiaoyue for being polite.

Back home, Lin Xiaoyue saw that it was almost time and was ready to deliver the cold cakes.

The two children caught up to her just as she reached the stream.

“Brother-in-law said that you’re going to town to deliver cold cakes, is that true?” Lin Xiaozhi was in a hurry.
