Chapter 45

Shen Wu was very eye-catching, and Long Yujiao and Lu Cheng also saw her.

Even in the mountain forest with poor visibility, she was the first person they saw. Lu Cheng sighed, “No wonder Third Brother was fooled by her. No one can compare to her face.”

“Any man would probably feel a little soft-hearted after seeing this.”

Long Yujiao frowned slightly, “Brother Cheng.”

Lu Cheng looked away from Shen Wu and looked at Long Yujiao’s calm and gentle face, “But I’m different from those vulgar people in the village. I like you. Your temperament is different from hers. Besides, she is so lazy.”

Long Yujiao didn’t find this remark comforting.

She smiled at Lu Cheng, “Brother Cheng, go and do your own thing. I’ll go with the third sister-in-law and the others to look for mushrooms.”

“Then you have to distinguish poisonous and non-toxic mushrooms. Two years ago, our neighbor, Mrs. Feng, ate poisonous mushrooms. In the middle of winter, she said it was too hot and she wanted to take off her clothes.”

“You don’t know, the uncle next door can stop you, otherwise she will lose face.”

“Where is her youngest son? He insisted on looking for the widow next door…”

Long Yujiao nodded thoughtfully.

Shen Wu originally wanted to find Xu Yin, but she didn’t expect Long Yujiao to come to her.

“Third sister-in-law, let me help you pick mushrooms.”

With Long Yujiao here, her plan to find Xu Yin was ruined. Shen Wu didn’t refuse someone to help her, no matter if she was sincere or fake, as long as she could work.

But when she was looking for mushrooms, Shen Wu found something wrong.

Long Yujiao even put the red mushroom in for her. If it was something else, Shen Wu might not know what was poisonous, but this mushroom, she watched other people picking mushrooms in her previous life and knew it was a poisonous mushroom.

In the novel, there are also stories about the heroine discovering delicious mushrooms, ginseng, red ginseng, etc., but there is no plot about eating poisonous mushrooms. She knows whether this mushroom is poisonous or not.

Why put this red mushroom in?

When Shen Wu was wondering why Long Yujiao did this, Long Yujiao was also observing Shen Wu. After making sure that she didn’t recognize it, she felt relieved and picked up other low-key poisonous mushrooms and threw them in.

Pointing at the red mushroom seriously, “This is poisonous. Be careful when picking mushrooms. I picked it in carelessly.”

Then she threw the red mushroom out.

The more abnormal it was, the more wrong it was. Shen Wu smiled and said, “You still know more. My home is far away from the mountain, and I don’t pick mushrooms often.”

Seeing Shen Wu’s smile, Long Yujiao also smiled and picked mushrooms seriously.

Shen Wu felt that this was wrong, very wrong!

But let her help, at most she could pick out those poisonous mushrooms in a while.

After picking a basket of mushrooms, everyone went down the mountain one after another. Shen Wu also stood up, “It’s getting late, it’s time to prepare lunch, let’s go back.”

Long Yujiao didn’t want to pick anymore. If it wasn’t for gaining Shen Wu’s trust, she wouldn’t have picked with her for so long.

Isn’t she just relying on her cooking skills to be lazy and not work in the fields? She still wants to compete with her for the position of teacher. Don’t you think she deserves it?

If so, the Lu family members will get poisoned and have hallucinations tonight, she wants to see how Shen Wu will compete with her!

Regardless of whether she stole the ginseng or not, she went into the mountain and the accident happened, so she put the blame on her.

Having completed her mission, Long Yujiao was not going to get involved with Shen Wu, lest she be implicated. “You guys go back, I’ll go find Brother Lu Cheng and see if there’s anything else.”

Shen Wu ignored her and shouted in the direction of Xu Yin, “Xu Yin! Are you going to leave or not? I’m not lazy, are you lazy?”

“Don’t wait for me to go back and tell mom–!”

Shen Wu’s voice stopped abruptly, watching Xu Yin carrying a piece of wood that was as tall as a person and as thick as half an arm.

Shen Wu gave a thumbs up!

“Sister! You’re awesome.”

Shen Wu looked at the bare wood, “What are you doing with this?”

“Just now someone said that if you pour some water on this dead wood, fungus will grow. I’ll carry it back and save myself from coming here every time.”

Shen Wu, “You’re still smart, I admire you!”

But she couldn’t carry it, her physical strength couldn’t compare to Xu Yin’s.

Shen Wu looked at Xu Yin with stars in her eyes, and Xu Yin was amused by her and looked at her basket of mushrooms.

“I just saw Long Yujiao and you together, so I didn’t go to find you. How did you two hook up?” She looked like she would be angry if they really hooked up.

“What?” Shen Wu told me what happened just now.

“What do you think she meant? She threw the red mushroom in and picked it out, and threw some other poisonous mushrooms in for me. Could it be that she didn’t recognize it?”

“Besides, I’m lucky to have her here. The mushrooms are bigger than what I find myself. It’s quite difficult to find a poisonous mushroom, and she will pick it specially.”

Xu Yin frowned.

“If she didn’t throw the red mushroom in and pick it out, she might really not recognize it. But she threw the red mushroom in and took it out and said it was a poisonous mushroom. Could it be that the red mushroom was testing you?”

“First use the easiest one to test whether you recognize it? If you can’t recognize the simple one, then wouldn’t you be even more difficult to recognize?”

“We’ll cook tonight, and you’ll be looking for mushrooms. When something goes wrong, she can just push it onto you…”

Shen Wu thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. Otherwise, why would Long Yujiao come to help her when she had nothing to do?

This is impossible. Shen Wu could feel that she didn’t like Long Yujiao, and Long Yujiao didn’t like her either, and she wanted to find something to do with her.

The two were walking one after the other.

Someone in front saw them, “Oh no, your mother-in-law got into a fight with someone!”

Shen Wu: “???”

She and Xu Yin looked at each other.

Then she looked at the person who came to report the news, “Who is it? Whose fault is it?”

The person who came to report the news was a young man. When Shen Wu stared at him like this, his face turned red.

He scratched his head and said, “I don’t know!” “I heard from the aunts watching outside that your mother-in-law cheated on Uncle Lu.”

“The villagers saw it, and she still doesn’t admit it!”

Shen Wu: “Ah?”

Her mother-in-law was old, with wrinkles all over her face from the sun. At this age… Impossible!

Shen Wu and Xu Yin looked at each other.

They walked quickly towards home. The road was muddy after the rain and it was not easy to walk. When the two arrived, there was already a circle of people.

Shen Wu couldn’t see what was happening inside.

“You little jerk!”

“You’re actually flirting with me!”

“Lanlan? Aren’t you disgusting? My old man never called me…”

“You’re not looking for me? If you’re not looking for me, why are you looking for Lu Sulan from Laoya Village?”

“I will not change my name or surname. This is the only name I will call Lu Sulan in the whole village!”

“What do you mean she is prettier than me? When I was young, I, Lu Sulan, was also a beauty in the village!”

Everyone gathered around, Shen Wu moved forward to eat melons, and felt something was wrong. She looked at Xu Yin with wide eyes.
