"The ginseng isn't just mine, we dug it up together. By tradition, everyone gets a share. And right now, my status is that of a long-term worker for you and sister-in-law, so strictly speaking, I have no claim over that thing."
Shitou made a serious correction as he looked at Lu Aiguo.
"You took the long-term worker joke seriously? Is that really your wife's dowry? As your brother and sister-in-law, could we have the thick skin to cheat you?" Lu Aiguo said with a smile, pushing him lightly, "This wild ginseng can surely be sold for a good sum, enough to build you a house. When the time comes, we'll also build a nice one, and let the people in the village see that you, Shitou, are not penniless."
"I haven't thought about building a house for now, why show off such vanity? Besides, if I were to become a soldier later, the house would be empty anyway, and who knows who might benefit from that?"
