70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 179: Jerusalem Artichoke

The matter involving the three people concluded within two days, not only did their files receive a heavy mark, but the penalties were also severe.

As for the parents of Bai Xiaofu and Song Jiayan, they were warned, as the things these two did caused quite a disturbance.

Xu Mumu heard the results of these punishments, and there wasn’t much expression on her face, it was all deserved.

This incident was gossiped about in the village for a long time, even Zhao Dashan’s family couldn’t hold their heads up within the team.

The review materials Xu Mumu compiled were mostly done, looking at the pile of books in her room, Xu Mumu showed a bright smile. Now, she just has to wait for the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination.

Compared to Xu Mumu’s ease, Xu Xue was a bit troubled because the crackdown over there had been stricter lately. It seemed someone reported that place, and several people have been caught these past few days. She only managed to escape narrowly a few times, thanks to some good luck.

Xu Xue thought she should put her business on hold for a while; running over there too frequently is bound to get her caught, and then it would not be worth the risk.

Most of her time recently had been spent on making money, and she should learn properly too, making money has made her a bit slack in her studies.

Thinking about studies, Xu Xue felt a headache coming on; she wondered how her skills compared to Xu Mumu’s. Although Xu Mumu received many certificates, Xu Xue knew most of the high school knowledge too.

Xu Xue thought, even if she’s a bit worse than Xu Mumu, it shouldn’t be by much.

Thinking about Xu Mumu being better than herself, although Xu Mumu was no longer the one who wanted to kill her in her past life, Xu Xue still didn’t wish to be inferior to Xu Mumu.

She held a set of materials in her hands, having gone through them many times, and she felt she was much stronger than her past self.

Looking at the materials in her hands, she wondered if she should find some other materials to study.

It seemed necessary, wasn’t it? Xu Mumu has so many books over there.

But aren’t the knowledge points in the books all the same? Xu Xue hesitated.

No one knew Xu Xue’s thoughts, only Xu Wan was happy that her sister was finally not busy.

"Sis, shall we go to the mountain to pick some wild fruits tomorrow?" Xu Wan looked happily at her sister.

"Sure, we’ll go tomorrow." Xu Xue nodded gently, tomorrow is the weekend, Xu Wan and the others have a break, it will just be the two sisters going, she didn’t quite like her younger sister always mingling with the people from the main house.

Xu Mumu was also pondering what to do over the weekend, but in the evening, Yin Yang came over.

"Why are you here, Yin Zhiqing?" Xu Mumu was a little surprised to see Yin Yang.

"Aren’t we friends? Can’t I come to see you?" Yin Yang looked at Xu Mumu with a bit of grievance.

"I didn’t mean that." Xu Mumu smiled and said.

"Yesterday when my grandfather went up the mountain with his friends to gather herbs, they encountered wild boars, are you interested?" Yin Yang took a deep breath, slightly frustrated that Xu Mumu didn’t look at him the way other girls did.

"Wild boars, where?" Xu Mumu’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Yin Yang, it had been a long time since she encountered wild boars, naturally, she was very tempted, mainly because her small treasury was running low, she wanted to add more.

"I’ll come in the morning to take you there." Yin Yang said with a smile, this girl has hunted wild boars before, and he wanted to see just how skilled Xu Mumu was.

"No problem, what time are you coming over?" Xu Mumu was a little excited, waiting for Yin Yang to leave, she’d sharpen the machete, aiming to stab the boar’s neck hard.

"Around seven, it’s early and no one will be around."

After seeing Yin Yang off, Xu Mumu went to sharpen the knife. The family was planning to repair the house these days, Xu Hai and a few others were digging the foundation daily, the area needed behind the house had been tidied up. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Originally, Xu Mumu intended to turn some of the excess land into private plots, but Old Xu stopped her, each family’s private plot has a fixed limit, and the one at the entrance was already full.

Though a bit disappointed, Xu Mumu didn’t insist. If she really expanded it too much, someone might report it, so it’s better to be cautious.

The next day, Xu Mumu got up early to eat something, Yin Yang came over, Xu Mumu had already informed her family the night before, although they were a bit worried, they didn’t stop her.

Just that the little ones wanted to go, but Madam Chen stopped them. If the little ones go, it would be a pure mess, without the little ones around, and encountering wild boars, there was still a good chance Xu Mumu could escape alone.

With that, Xu Mumu took the big machete and swaggered off with Yin Yang to the mountain. Yin Yang somehow got a dagger, strapped to his waist, ready to draw anytime.

"How much farther do we have to go?" Xu Mumu asked while walking, looking around for anything edible, keeping the location in mind to bring it home later.

Not far away, she spotted a patch of Jerusalem artichokes, very excited, as they are excellent for pickling. In the afternoon, she planned to call several of the children over to dig them up, at least able to gather dozens of pounds.

"Still about ten more minutes to go, what are you looking at?" Yin Yang asked, seeing Xu Mumu observing a patch of unfamiliar tall greens.

"Obviously found something good." Xu Mumu said, in a good mood.

"What’s the good thing?" Yin Yang examined the patch but couldn’t recognize it, could it be edible? This thing doesn’t seem to flower or fruit, do you eat the tender leaves?

"That’s Jerusalem artichoke, used for pickling." Xu Mumu smiled.

"Uh, okay, I don’t know how to pickle stuff." Yin Yang chuckled; he had tasted the village’s pickles before, quite appetizing, nice to have occasionally.

"I’ll give you a jar once my grandma pickles it." Xu Mumu giggled looking at Yin Yang.

"Great, I’m looking forward to tasting Madam Chen’s skills." Yin Yang seemed genuinely excited.

The two soon arrived at the place Yin Yang mentioned, there were no wild boars around, but there was pig dung nearby, so they began to search in the vicinity.

"How about we search separately?" After a while, not finding traces of wild boars, Xu Mumu suggested.

"No way, what if you encounter danger alone?" Yin Yang immediately disagreed, he was more worried about Xu Mumu’s safety than finding the wild boars.
