Chapter 15 - Big mushroom, for grandma

The old and the young walked through the grape forest, with the baby as small as a mite looking rather like a little tail.

The uneven ground caused her to stumble occasionally, but still managed to catch herself cuddly cute.

In the shrubbery was low, there were grapes near the ground, which Liu Yusheng could reach out.

So weak her strength was, that she failed to pull even a bunch of grapes down, and instead stained herself with purple-red grape juice.

Causing laughter around the family.

The sun gradually rose and their baskets were almost full. Even Liu Yusheng's small vegetable basket, which was filled with a few bunches as brimming.

People in the village also came one after another. Once they saw Grandma Liu and her party, they greeted each other with a smile.

Especially when they saw Liu Yusheng, the villagers smiled even brighter.

"Yo, even Xiao Nannan is here!"

"Yeah, babies love to play, so why not bring her out to join in the fun!"

"Which little baby doesn't like to play, but be careful in the woods, there are many spikes on these bushes, don't let her get pricked."

"I'll guard her well, don't you worry, in fact, I'll follow on her heels."

…..

While Grandma Liu was distracted by the villagers' gossip, Liu Yusheng dragged her small grape basket and meandered away. Her short legs slowly darted in the distance, and then slipped behind a big tree.

She was shielded by the big tree. With her tiny figure, and the surrounding tall bushes, her figure was completely hidden.

After determining that there was nobody around, she took out a small herb shovel from her space, which she uses to organize the space medicine field on a daily basis, dug the herb shovel quickly into the root of the tree to create a small pit shape, and then screened her medicine field in her space medicine, and once again, took a glossy ganoderma lucidum out.

This was what she planned on doing today.

When Grandpa Liu fell and the family emptied their vault, not to mention her two elder brother's schooling were set aside, it also left the home with no spare cash.

Several times, she heard her grandparents and parents heaving a sigh beneath their breaths.

She too was distressed.

The Ganoderma lucidum she took out was now about fifty years old, and it is estimated that it can sell for twenty or thirty taels of silver.

It's enough to solve her family's urgent needs, and also give the family a breather.

There are better herbs in her space, but it is too questionable if she were to take them out now.

Wait till she grows up and earns a reputable name for herself, she will continue to improve her family's life.

Holding the Ganoderma lucidum in her little hand, Liu Yusheng's face was glowing with laughter.

"Nannan? Nannan? Oh, dear, Nannan's gone, hurry up, help me find her!" An anxious cry from Grandma Liu broke her introspection.

Liu Yusheng snapped back to her senses and scrambled out behind the big tree. "Grandma! Grandma!"

Seeing the toddler in the distance, Grandma Liu raced towards her with Liu Dalin, "Nannan, how did you run behind this big tree? The mountain is too dangerous. You have to run close to your grandma, alright? You scared me to death!"

Liu Yusheng nodded and thrusted the Ganoderma lucidum in front of Grandma Liu and her party. "Grandma, big mushroom, beautiful!"

Several pairs of eyes fell on the big mushroom in Liu Yusheng's hands, and after looking closely at it, their faces all changed.

"This, this is …"

Liu Erlin squeezed to the front, picked up the big mushroom, examined it carefully, and was stumped with excitement, "Ganoderma, it is Ganoderma! Mother! Brother! This is Ganoderma! I have seen it in the medical center, and it is worth a lot of money!"

When the villagers around heard that it was ganoderma lucidum, they couldn't care less about picking grapes, and came crowding together.

"It really is! It really is Ganoderma, that's right!"

"Why is there a Ganoderma Lucidum in this place? Xiao Nannan, where did you pick it? No one has ever discovered it before!"

"What a lucky day! You are going to make a fortune!"

Speaking of luck, the rumors going around about the blessed baby came to mind, and the way they were looking at Liu Yusheng started to change.

Leaving the truth or falsity of the previous rumors, now that they just came to pick grapes and unexpectedly found a Ganoderma, if she's not blessed, then what is she?

Liu Dalin squatted down and patted Liu Yusheng on the shoulder, "Nannan, where did you find this mushroom?"

Money can move people. Although the villagers are simple and honest, there would always be some who'd be envious at heart.

Someone has already asked, if Liu Yushen doesn't make it clear, rumors about Liu Yusheng being a disaster star might make a comeback.

Liu Dalin is dumb, but that does not mean that he is really stupid, nor does it mean that he doesn't have eyes.

Blinking her pearly eyes, Liu Yusheng pointed a finger behind the big tree, "There, just one."

Then she tipped her toes and grabbed the Ganoderman back from her second uncle's hand, and shoved it into her grandma's arms. "Pretty, here, for grandma!"

Liu Erlin, who is inferior to his aging mother, saw the baby's actions without hesitation, and a sour taste poured at the corner of his lips.

With the glossy Ganoderma Lucidum in her arms, Grandma Liu looked down at the sweet smile of the child at her feet, and her nose suddenly became sour, "Okay, for grandma, didn't I just say that Nannan loves Grandma the best!"

"Favorite!" Liu Yusheng nodded vigorously, her affirmation loud and bright.

At the same time, the two boys who had just emerged from the grape grove immediately followed suit.

"I love you too!"

"I love you too!"

As if it's not enough, she took out a bunch of grapes she hid in her pockets and transferred them to Grandma Liu's basket, which amused the old lady and earned her a squeeze on the cheeks and a series of kisses.

Looking at their younger sister whose smile can be seen in her eyes, the two boys moaned bitterly.

This differential treatment, oh, they can only pinch their younger sister's face, as for kisses…

In the meanwhile, the villagers who got the answer from Liu Yusheng, have gone behind the big tree. Their brains were drilled with expectation as they searched everywhere, hoping to find another Ganoderma lucidum.

It's a very high-grade medicinal herb. It can be sold at pharmacies for a huge sum of money, which is enough for ordinary people like them to spend for several years!

"Mother, let's go back first." The villagers changed positions, and the grape vines were already cleaned up. Liu Dalin winked at his mother and Liu Erlin, and the family silently packed up and went home with their baskets.

Halfway through, Liu Erlin asked, "Brother, why are we leaving? If we go back and look for more, maybe we can find more Ganoderma!"

"Did you think this kind of precious medicinal herb is so easy to find? It's already Nannan's good fortune to dig one up. And even if there is more, we should not grab it any more. Otherwise, we will only invite people's hatred."

Grandma Liu nodded and supplemented "Your brother is right. We need to take a long-term view of life. We all live in the village, and it's more important to keep good relations with our neighbors. A villager who only knows how to raise his head up but knows nothing about bowing down would only invite envy and hatred. It's not good for our family to be hated out of jealousy. To behave with integrity, you should know when to quit while you're ahead."

Liu Yusheng nestled in Liu Dalin's arms, listened quietly to her family's exchanges, and maintained her smile.

Through these interchanges, she has a deeper understanding of her family.

Her father may seem dumb, but in fact, his great intelligence has always been cloaked by stupidity, nothing can escape his eyes.

Her second uncle is a forthright person. He always blurts out whatever comes to mind without fearing the consequences.

Grandma may seem hot-tempered on ordinary days, but her astuteness, wisdom and vision are backed by her life experience.

Above all, they all know when to stop and be content.

This must be the hardest to overcome for a person, the ability to hold onto their hearts in the face of interests and temptation. She raised her head up, closed her eyes and let the golden sun fall on her face in between the cracks on the leaves. Liu Yusheng smiled peacefully.

She is really, really lucky to have been reborn into this kind of family.
