On the way back, Qiao Xi asked Qiao Nan and Qin Jiashu to walk behind, while he walked in front with Qiao's mother.

She quietly told Mother Qiao: "Thanks to Qin Jiashu for leading me and Qiao Nan to find a good place, we were able to dig so many astragalus."

Mother Qiao: "Oh."

She couldn't be happy.

Qiao Xi then continued to persuade: "Mom, you know, even without my skills, if you dig out all the astragalus, it's easy to earn a thousand yuan!"

"How is that possible?" Mother Qiao didn't quite believe it.

According to current economic conditions, the average family cannot earn more than 1,000 yuan a year.

My daughter wants to earn so much just by digging astragalus every weekend. How is this possible?

"Of course it's possible. I earned more than a hundred last week." Qiao Xi secretly told her mother Qiao.

What she originally thought was to save more money and give it to Qiao Nan's mother when she gets married. This would be a surprise and more meaningful.

But now it was obvious that Mother Qiao didn't want her to get along with Qin Jiashu, and would probably get Qiao Nan scolded, so she had no choice but to say it.

She added: "Mom, don't blame Qiao Nan. It was me who told him that if he wanted to marry a wife, he had to work hard to earn money. He could earn more by following me, so he was willing."

Mother Qiao snorted: "He's still pretty good."

As he said this, the expression on his face was no longer angry.

"Daughter, did you really earn more than one hundred dollars last week?" Although Mother Qiao believed in her daughter, she still thought it was amazing.

Qiao Xi nodded heavily: "Astragalus is a Chinese medicinal material. There are not many good ones in good quality, so the price is naturally more expensive."

Seeing no one around, she opened the sycamore leaf in her arms a little and said, "Mom, look what this is."

Mother Qiao glanced at it and couldn't look away.

She has lived for most of her life and has naturally seen a lot of good things. She immediately said: "Wild ginseng? Where did you come from?"

"Dig it from the mountain." Qiao Xi blinked.

She did not take sole credit: "The three of us dug it together."

Mother Qiao was so shocked by the wild ginseng that she didn't leave in a hurry. She asked Qiao Xi to lift all the sycamore leaves and take a closer look.

After reading it, she came to a conclusion: "This thing looks to be at least several decades old, and it is of the type that even if you have money, you can't buy it."

Qiao Xi's eyes lit up: "Mom, Qin Jiashu helped me today. I dug it with my own hands. Maybe it will grow back soon."

"That's... right!" When Mother Qiao thought of this possibility, she seemed to see piles of money piled in front of her eyes.

She suddenly felt that she had been too shallow in the past. With her daughter being so talented, she allowed her to pick vegetables and peaches and engage in such unprofitable businesses.

If I had known earlier, I should have gone straight to pick the expensive ones!

However, Mother Qiao only thought about it for a moment and didn't really regret it too much.

Qiao Xi picked the vegetables and sent them to the mountains continuously, which was a blessing to the people in the mountains who rarely had access to fresh vegetables.

Mother Qiao quickly covered it with sycamore leaves, trembling as she spoke: "This thing is so good, don't let anyone see it."

Although no one is a bad person, it is human nature to be envious and jealous.

Especially since this thing can be sold for a huge price, if someone with bad intentions finds out about it, they might do something.

Josie agreed: "Yeah."

After returning home, Qiao's mother asked Qin Jiashu and Qiao Nan to eat and drink together, while she took Qiao Xi into the hut.

After placing the wild ginseng, Mother Qiao returned to the topic again.

She stared at Qiao Xi with piercing eyes: "Daughter, please tell Mom carefully what is going on between you and Qin Jiashu?"

Josie pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Mother Qiao couldn't bear to scold her precious daughter and sighed: "You can't believe a man's sweet words. Mom is worried that you will be deceived by him!"

"No, he didn't lie to me, he's not that kind of person." Josie said quickly.

Mother Qiao gritted her teeth: "If you can say such things, you have been deceived by him. Do you know that he has bad intentions for you?"

Seeing the distressed look on her mother's face, Josie knew that there was no way to avoid this problem.

If she didn't say anything today, she might turn around, and Mother Qiao would trip up Qin Jiashu and give her a warning.

As a result, Qin Jiashu was even more frightened and did not dare to talk to her again.

She doesn't want this.

So, she took Mother Qiao's hand, sat by the kang, and explained very seriously: "Mom, it's not that his mind is not right, it's that I am."

"What? What are you talking about?" Mother Qiao's brows almost knitted together.

She had never been so worried about dealing with Sun Hailan before.

Qiao Xi licked his lips and said seriously: "I'm not talking nonsense. I like Qin Jiashu. I went to find him today and asked him to take us up the mountain."

Mother Qiao's eyes won't roll anymore.

She felt like she was going to faint in the next second.

Despite all the precautions, I still failed!

"Mom, mom, please don't do this." Qiao Xi was anxious, shook Mother Qiao's arm, and cried: "I'm not a fool, I know who is good to me, mom, you trust my judgment!"

Mother Qiao regained her composure and let out a long breath.

Then, he said earnestly to Qiao Xi: "My silly girl, do you know that marriage is not just about a person, but also about his family!"

Qiao Xi nodded: "Of course I know, but the person you marry is also very important. Just like Yang Wenqing, his parents are good people, but he is not good, and neither is he."

Mother Qiao: "Then let's find someone with nice parents and nice people. There are so many good boys in the world, so what are we afraid of?"

"It's too late." Qiao Xi pouted: "Your daughter has already fallen in love with Qin Jiashu, how could she marry someone else."

Mother Qiao was stupefied by this sentence.

Qiao Xi knew that Qiao's mother was soft-spoken, so she coaxed: "Mom, don't get angry in a hurry. I just like Qin Jiashu, and I'm not dating him. You can keep observing. If he is really good, let's talk about it again."

Proceed to the next step.”

"That's necessary." My daughter was not too confused, and Mother Qiao finally felt a little relieved.

When he came out of the house, Qin Jiashu was no longer there.

Qiao Nan stood up and said, "Brother Jiashu said that he has other things to do in the evening, so he will go back first."

Mother Qiao was very dissatisfied: "What the hell is this young man doing? Who can eat him?"

Qiao Xi laughed on the side: "Mom, the look in your eyes on the way back made you want to eat him alive?"

Mother Qiao snorted and said nothing more.

Then, Qiao's mother went to cook, while Qiao Xi and Qiao Nan dried the astragalus.

This time, she wanted to dry some before selling it. Qi Xun gave it a convenience last time, so she couldn't make it easier again and again.

Now that the weather is nice, it can be dried in a few days.

Before going to bed at night, Father Qiao and Mother Qiao sat on the kang and talked.

Mother Qiao told Qiao Xi that she liked Qin Jiashu. After hearing this, Father Qiao was so surprised that the cigarette in his hand fell to his feet.

"Hiss—" He gasped in pain.

Mother Qiao glared: "Okay, stop smoking, think of a way to change my daughter's mind, this won't work."
