Zhao Wan looked at the Jiang Chuan family with a scrutinizing gaze. She had heard their conversation from inside the house and slowly began to change her impression of them.

Zhao Wan had always believed that those who would sell their daughters must be ignorant, gossipy country folk. However, the Jiang Chuan family didn’t seem like that at all.

On the contrary, their family had a very unique temperament – approachable yet with a touch of nobility. Only now did Zhao Wan realize that her impression of them had always been too one-sided.

Both Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan felt the same about Zhao Wan. They had been wondering what kind of people the hunters were, but they never imagined someone like Zhao Wan, who emanated a gentle power.

Jiang Chuan’s first impression was that this woman must be the decision-maker in the Zhang family, not the Old Master Zhang.

But would she accept their proposal to move their whole family to Pushan village?

As they were contemplating this, they suddenly heard Jiang Xia’s voice asking, “Is this Fleece Flower Root?”

Everyone’s attention shifted to her. She was standing next to Third Brother Zhang’s vegetable basket, pointing at a plant that looked like a human figure stretching, topped with green leaves.

Third Brother Zhang, who had rarely been this close to any young woman other than his mother, Zhang Ling, and Jiang Qing, blushed and answered, “Yes.”

Jiang Xia’s eyes lit up. It seemed she could add a new species to her collection!

She had felt that planting Isatis root didn’t yield enough benefits. Moreover, after partitioning her interspace, she could only grow four types of vegetables. So, she had given all her Isatis roots to the old granny.

She had previously planted onions, ginger, and garlic in her interspace but never used them all. Wild vegetables were also abundant. With the interspace’s preservation function, she wasn’t afraid of the vegetables going bad.

Currently, she had white radish, carrot, mushrooms, and an empty plot, which could now be used to plant Fleece Flower Root! The local pharmacist had mentioned that its price was even higher than that of Isatis root. She never expected to find it here !

Jiang Xia excitedly asked, “Where was the Fleece Flower Root harvested from?”

Third Brother Zhang gave her a general location, then shyly took his things and darted into the kitchen.

Jiang Xia had already been considering how to go and harvest the Fleece Flower Root. Suddenly, Jiang Chuan grabbed her by the collar and pulled her into the room, quietly warning, “You’re not allowed to go by yourself. What if there’s danger?”

Jiang Xia could only obediently agree.

Dinner time was approaching, and Zhou Lan went into the kitchen to prepare. Jiang Gu was the first to follow her in to help start the fire.

Jiang Gu was very considerate. Whenever Zhou Lan cooked at home, Jiang Gu was always by her side to accompany her. It was the same now that they were at the Zhang’s.

Seeing her mother busily working, Jiang Qing felt guilty sitting idle, so she began to help by washing the vegetables.

Jiang Xia was still thinking about the Fleece Flower Root, but since Jiang Chuan wouldn’t let her leave, she had to find her own way to sneak out.

She looked at the vegetable garden in the yard. There were various vegetables, including chili peppers and baby bok choy. Suddenly, she had an idea and said, “I’ll go help pick some vegetables. 1 know best what dishes mom wants to cook!”

After saying this, she ran out and squatted by the vegetable patch. Soon after, Su Zhen came out. He held a large pair of scissors in his hand, saying, “Use these scissors to cut them. It won’t harm the roots.”

Jiang Xia gratefully took them, thanking him. Her mind was entirely focused on picking the vegetables, waiting for a chance to slip away unnoticed. She didn’t realize that Su Zhen had been standing behind her the whole time, watching.

Su Zhen was very interested in observing her. Ordinary village girls would not say thank you; they were usually straightforward and would only keep their heads down working hard. They were not as sharp-tongued and quick-witted as Jiang Xia.

Soon, Jiang Xia had picked a basket of chili peppers and lettuce. She quietly placed it at the kitchen door. She then carefully watched the entrance of the room where Jiang Chuan was, avoiding his gaze, and stealthily sneaked out.

Jiang Xia was very smart. She had checked the map she carried multiple times. So, she quickly found the location Third Brother Zhang had mentioned where the Fleece Flower Root grew.

To her disappointment, Fleece Flower Root wasn’t found everywhere. She had to search among the dry grass and other green plants to spot any trace of Fleece Flower Root.

Moreover, most of the Fleece Flower Root was buried in the soil, with only its leaves exposed above ground. It was easily hidden by dry grass. She had to squat down and search meticulously to find it..
