Xiang Ling’er also understood why she had come here. She felt that Ye Muyu was very powerful, so after informing Chu Xingjun, she followed her to look for the wood ears.

“Cousin-in-law, I’ll help you find it.” Xiang Ling’er was wearing a top and pants, which were more suitable for hiking than Ye Muyu’s dress.

As she spoke, she smiled and walked quickly in front.

Ye Muyu saw that she was frank, innocent, and had a good temper too. She took the opportunity to start some small talk to avoid boredom. “Ling ‘er, how old are you this year?”

“Cousin-in-law, I’m 14.” Xiang Ling’er’s voice was pleasant to the ear, as pleasant as a bell.

Ye Muyu looked at her body and did not find it strange. “Has your marriage been arranged?”

Generally speaking, country girls got married early. For example, the original host got pregnant at 15 and gave birth to Ziluo at 16.

“We’re still discussing about it.” Xiang Ling ‘er said with a blush. Her skin was actually average, but her looks were not bad. Her round little face was very cute when she smiled.

Ye Muyu thought it was cute and could not help but pinch it.

“Cousin-in-law is there something on my face?” Xiang Ling’er asked with a red face.

“No, I just think you’re cute and want to pinch you.” Ye Muyu’s eyes curved into crescents.

Xiang Ling’er’s eyes widened in surprise. “Cousin-in-law, you’re so easy to get along with. I thought you were fierce.”

“I’m very fierce, but it depends on who I’m facing.” Ye Muyu said with a smile.

When Xiang Ling’er heard this, she instantly looked at her nervously. “Cousin-in-law, don’t be fierce with me. I’ll definitely be very obedient. I won’t make you angry.”

“Ling’er is so obedient.” Ye Muyu wanted to scare her, but she could not help but laugh when she saw the little girl’s reaction.

For a moment, the two of them chatted and laughed as they walked.

Madam Liu, Chu Xingjun, and Madam Qian, who were following behind, also felt relieved after seeing this.

Chu Xingjun heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid that her child would be insensible and anger Ye Muyu. After all, the matter of her second sister, Chu Hongmei, was still in front of her.

“Ah, Cousin-in-law, I saw it…” Xiang Ling’er walked in front. Although she was talking, she was looking very carefully.

She was the first to discover the fungus.

She ran over quickly and squatted down. She picked up the dried wood ears from the dead wood. She looked at them for a while before she was sure that they were the same as the black wild vegetables in her village.

“Cousin-in-law, this is it.” Xiang Ling’er walked to Ye Muyu’s side with some dried wood ears and showed them to her.

Ye Muyu grabbed it and looked at it. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes. “Is this what your village has?” she asked.

“Yes, but this is too small. The ones in our village are very big, and it’s wet. This is so dry…” Xiang Ling’er told her everything she knew. After that, she scratched her head and smiled. “If you accidentally step on it, it will get all over your shoes. However, it’s rare to see such things. Most of them are soft but not rotten.”

Ye Muyu raised her eyebrows and patted Ling’er’s shoulder. “Ling’er, you’re lucky.”

“Ah?” Xiang Ling’er was slightly stunned. She felt that the gentle Cousin-in-law Heng would not do such a rough action. For a moment, she blushed and looked around carefully, afraid that outsiders would see it and affect Cousin-in-law Heng’s reputation.

“This is the fungus I was talking about. It can be sold for money and eaten,” Ye Muyu said.

“Really… Really?” Xiang Ling’er stuttered.

“Let’s go find your mother.”
