"Sister-in-law, what on earth did you take?"
But Liu Zheng didn't have that awareness and actually started shouting from behind again.
"Off you go, kid. Why do you have so many questions? Just take your bath."
As she heard Liu Zheng's shouts, Wu Min ran even faster, and her face turned even redder.
However, as she ran, it felt like there were countless little rabbits jumping chaotically in her heart.
"This, this is too big, isn't it? How can that place have something so large?"
Thinking about the scene she had just seen, all sorts of embarrassing images involuntarily popped into her head.
After running a few more steps, nearly reaching the door of the house, her mind finally completely cleared.
But by then, the blush on her face had already spread to the base of her neck.
"What's wrong with me? He's my brother-in-law, how can I have such... such improper thoughts?"
However, what Wu Min didn't know was that Liu Zheng had seen everything just now.
Let's not mention that now Liu Zheng had inherited his fairy sister's legacy. Even without it, his eyesight had always been pretty good.
When Wu Min pushed the door and came in, he turned around, but he still saw the things that were laid on the rack out of the corner of his eye.
He was a medical student after all, and he recognized that thing with just one glance.
Upon seeing that thing, Liu Zheng immediately felt a deep sense of compassion.
His sister-in-law had not had an easy life over the years, she…
At that thought, Liu Zheng's mind involuntarily conjured some not-suitable-for-children images.
Felt a sudden shiver in his heart.
"Damn! What am I thinking about?"
He quickly dispelled those thoughts from his mind and started showering with cold water.
After several buckets of cold water, he finally managed to scatter away those tender thoughts from his heart.
"Damn, luckily, I didn't keep thinking, or it would have exploded, right?"
Liu Zheng was relieved that he didn't continue down the wrong path, saving his body from overloading.
After getting dressed, Liu Zheng then returned to his own room.
By the time he got back, his sister-in-law, Wu Min, was already asleep.
Wu Min had fallen into a deep sleep, her eyebrows tightly knit even in her dreams, showing that even in her sleep, she was troubled.
Moreover, in her dreams, she kept murmuring to herself.
"Don't, don't! I don't want to meet guests, I don't want to sell, I don't... let go of me..."
In her sleep talk, her clear tears slipped from her eyes and ran down onto the pillow.
Seeing this scene before him, Liu Zheng's heart ached fiercely.
Such a good woman!
Yet her fate was so terribly unfair.
God really knew how to play with people.
Such a wonderful woman, yet she did not have a good life and was tormented so miserably by fate.
Clenching his fist, Liu Zheng lifted his head, determined that as soon as daylight broke, he would immediately set out to make money.
Now he had his fairy sister's legacy.
Although he still did not know how to utilize this inheritance or what magical effects it might have.
But.
He was a med student, after all. Relying on his professional knowledge, he believed he could earn fifty thousand yuan within three days.
...
The next day.
When Liu Zheng got up in the morning, he saw that his sister-in-law Wu Min had already gone to the stove to cook.
After breakfast, Liu Zheng picked up his basket and sickle, greeted his brother and sister-in-law, and went straight into the old forest behind the mountain.
Yuanbao Village was named after Mount Yuanbao.
Although the name sounds affluent, Yuanbao Village is actually the most backward village in Qing Shan County.
Located at the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the terrain here is mountainous and thick with forests, making the roads difficult to traverse.
It was because the times had changed and transportation had become relatively convenient that the village began to contact the outside world.
If it were seven or eight decades earlier, Yuanbao Village's contact with the outside would have been almost completely severed.
In the dense forest, snakes, insects, mice, and ants were seen everywhere.
There were also wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards.
For this reason, people were daunted at the thought of venturing deep into the mountains.
And for the same reason, Liu Zheng decided to enter the dense forest to gather herbs.
Climbing the mountain and venturing into the forest, he was used to it since childhood, so he was naturally much stronger than outsiders.
Moreover, the villagers themselves were afraid of the forest, so not many entered its depths.
This resulted in valuable medicinal herbs being easily found everywhere.
After delving into the forest and reaching halfway up the mountain, Liu Zheng quickly found several long-established and valuable herbs.
He swiftly picked them and placed them in his basket.
Given the quality of these herbs, selling them in the city would fetch a good price.
With his success, Liu Zheng's spirits were even more uplifted.
He continued to delve deeper into the forest.
After another fifteen minutes, he picked several more herbs. He was planning to make one more round and then head home.
But just as he turned around, he suddenly heard a sound that caught his attention.
"Brother Wang, don't do this, you… you let go of me, we can't do this..."
"Heh heh! I'm telling you, Su Mei, your man has been gone for five or six years, don't you want it at all?"
"Stop it… I, I, you're hurting me."
Listening to the voices, Liu Zheng felt they were very familiar.
Following the sound, he looked into the valley below him.
In the valley, there was a stream.
Next to the stream stood two people, one was the village bully, Wang Erniu, and the other was Liu Sumei.
Wang Erniu was pulling at Liu Sumei's collar, ready to tear her clothes open at any moment.
Liu Sumei was on the verge of crying in desperation, stepping back repeatedly, with one foot already in the stream.
With a "splash," Liu Sumei's foot was already submerged in the water.
At this moment, Liu Sumei had nowhere to escape.
She knew very well that she could not afford to offend Wang Erniu before her eyes.
This guy was the thug of Yuanbao Village, and she simply could not afford to cross him.
If she offended him, her life from then on would become unbearable.
Thinking this, the thought flashed through Liu Sumei's mind, and she immediately said, "Please, Brother Wang, I'm begging you, don't do this. I don't have many decent clothes to begin with, and you're tearing them all up!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Wang Erniu's wrist.
By this time, Wang Erniu's eyes were already bloodshot.
Facing the attractive Liu Sumei in front of him, his lust had taken over.
He paid no attention to her feeble pleas.
"Heh heh! Su Mei, there's no use struggling. Your husband has been gone for so long, I believe you must have been wanting it. Just make me feel good, and I'll buy you nice clothes from the city tomorrow."
While he talked, he did not stop his hands.
With a "rip," Liu Sumei's already flimsy coat was torn open from the collar by Wang Erniu's hands.
