Chapter 195: Mushroom Cultivation Guide

Lin Zhao only found out about Wei Xiangdong's injury after she returned.

She learned it from Gu Hangbao. He and his brother went to the old house to share wedding candy and heard it from Sister Lai.

The little child couldn't hold back his words and had an extraordinary desire to share with his mother.

He rushed home and told Lin Zhao about this.

Hearing this, Lin Zhao immediately went to the old house to understand the situation.

In the original book, the Wei family's ending wasn't very good.

She rushed into the old house and asked, only to find out that Wei Xiangdong was saving someone.

Oh, saving someone...

Saving someone?

Lin Zhao couldn't find a way to associate Wei Xiangdong with saving people. When they usually talked about sacrificing oneself for others, that person always had a dismissive look.

"Brother-in-law was injured saving someone?" After reacting for several seconds, her voice was still full of disbelief.

"Didn't expect it, right?" Gu Mu's face was full of worry, and there were two more white hairs. "I didn't expect it either, Xiang Dong is not an impulsive person, why did he rush up to save someone? It would be fine if he was okay, but if something happened to him, what would happen to A-Chan and the two stones?"

"Mom didn't go to see?" Lin Zhao asked again.

Gu Mu washed the lunch box and replied, "The second one went, I would just be anxious if I went, I'll go tomorrow."

She couldn't help but nag, "Xiang Dong is severely injured, just the medical expenses will cost no less than four hundred. That thunder-struck person didn't even know how to say a word of thanks after being saved, and ran away fast!"

Gu Mu became angrier the more she spoke, her eyes fierce, her hands exerting great force, the gourd silk colliding with the aluminum lunch box, making a *chi-chi-chi* sound.

Another sigh.

"If Xiang Dong can't get through this hurdle, what will happen to A-Chan in the future..."

Gu Fu huddled in the corner, smoking a dry pipe, and interrupted her when he heard his wife's words. "Don't say unlucky things, nothing will happen!"

That's what he said, but his cracked hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Gu Mu wanted to retort, but when she turned her head, she saw the old man's face was dark, his brows furrowed enough to pinch a fly to death, so she hummed in her heart and didn't stimulate him again.

A stubborn old man.

Lin Zhao didn't participate in the old couple's eye-to-eye battle, nor did she mention that Gu Chan came to borrow money, there was no need to make people embarrassed.

"I'll go to the hospital to see him after work tomorrow."

Gu Mu was moved. "... Good."

Time reveals a person's heart, these few daughters-in-law were all married well.

When the eldest couple heard the news, they also brought money to the door, complaining that they looked down on them, saying that even if they didn't have much, twenty or thirty yuan was still there.

Gu Mu didn't say anything, but felt very comfortable in her heart. Whose son and daughter-in-law were like this?

After returning to the room, the old man grabbed her hand and thanked her cheesily, thanking her for raising several good sons for the Gu family, marrying them all top-notch wives, and saying that marrying a virtuous wife...

It was so cheesy it didn't sound like him.

She couldn't take it, gave the old man a hard shave, and felt comfortable only after two pounds of goosebumps fell off.

Gu Fu: "..."

Speaking of which.

After finishing talking about Wei Xiangdong's matter, Lin Zhao remembered the "Mushroom Cultivation Guide" she drew last night and said to Gu Fu, "Dad, I found a book that talks about the artificial cultivation of various mushrooms. Are you interested? If so, I'll let Xiang Yubao take it to you."

Gu Fu: "Mushrooms, edible mushrooms?"

Vaguely feeling that this was an opportunity, the old man's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. This feeling was very familiar; it was like this when he met his great benefactor, Mr. Qiao, back then.

Heaven is going to drop a pie!

"Right." Lin Zhao said.

"Yes, I want it!" Gu Fu was hardworking, didn't exclude learning new knowledge, and loved to try, so he immediately said with full energy: "I'll try, what if it succeeds."

This was food that could fill stomachs. If it succeeded, it would not only enrich his own family but also benefit the neighbors.

Mr. Qiao always said, "When poor, cultivate yourself; when successful, benefit the world." He didn't have great abilities and couldn't benefit the world, but with an opportunity in front of him, he was willing to try!

Lin Zhao guessed that Gu Fu was willing and smiled. "Good, I'll let Xiang Yubao send it to you in a while."

Gu Fu was a bit impatient. "I'll go with you to get it."

"Good."

After getting the "Mushroom Cultivation Guide," Gu Fu took out the diligence of learning to read back then and the care he took in naming his children, flipping through it morning and night.

After reading it, he started to try, getting dirty every day. Gu Mu didn't dislike it, doing the logistics work well, washing clothes and cooking, helping whenever she could, and the old couple was busy.

... These are stories for later.

After sending off Gu Fu who left with the "Mushroom Cultivation Guide," Lin Zhao rested.

Seeing her pounding her waist, Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao put down the pencils in their hands, ran over *da-da-da*, and stretched out their little fists to help their mother pound her waist.

"Mom worked hard, when I grow up, I will earn money, and you can just rest at home, plant flowers, drink tea, go shopping, take photos, do whatever makes you happy." Xiang Yubao's brows were serious.

Gu Hangbao followed. "I'll drive a big car, whatever is popular in the city, I'll bring it to Mom, making you the most fashionable girl in the world."

Two of the sweetest cubs.

Lin Zhao couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from rising. "This big pancake you've drawn... Thank you, I'll wait."

"Mm!" The little brothers nodded heavily.

After less than two minutes, Gu Hangbao rested his little chin on Lin Zhao's shoulder, his eyes lively, the scent of baby cream fresh and rushing toward her face. "Mom, can my brother and I go see Brother-in-law tomorrow?"

Xiang Yubao said: "Brother Stone and Brother Stone must be very scared, we want to accompany them."

Lin Zhao hesitated. "It's not good for children to go to the hospital. If you get infected with a virus, you might need an injection, you know? An injection, are you afraid?"

There were no children who weren't afraid of injections.

The bold Gu Hangbao was so scared he kept silent.

His little eyes scanned his brother, his face full of dilemma.

He hesitated, and he cared especially about his brother's thoughts.

"Then forget it." Xiang Yubao didn't want his younger brother to be in a dilemma, so he gave up the idea of going to the county hospital. A thought flashed through his mind, and he had an idea. "Mom, my brother and I will go to the new house in the county tomorrow, when you come home from the county hospital, call Brother Stone and Brother Stone to our house..."

The courtyard in the county had been renovated, furniture had been added, and there was no shortage of bedding, although it was a bit thin, it wasn't a big problem, and the weather was still warm.

Feeling that the method he thought of was a bit troublesome, Xiang Yubao touched his fingers and said embarrassedly: "Children can't stay in the hospital, Brother Stone and Brother Stone are also children, they can't stay long either, right?"

Xiang Yubao's brain was really active, and he was kind, a little sun.

Lin Zhao rubbed his fine, soft hair, her brows curved. "Right."

Seeing that the twins were very worried about the Stone brothers, she agreed to her son's request. "I'll take you to the county."

The two children's eyes lit up, and their little arms hugged Lin Zhao and pressed against her.

"Mom is really good."

"Mom is the best in the world." After learning the concept of the world from Gu Qingzhou, Gu Hangbao no longer said the whole brigade or the whole commune, and praised everyone who loved him as the whole world.

Lin Zhao pressed her slender index finger against her red lips. "Keep your voice down, the younger brother and sister are too young, don't take them."

The twins had weak resistance, and it was best not to let them run into the Stone brothers when they came out of the hospital.

Xiang Yubao felt that the younger brother and sister were pitiful, missing out on everything. "Then what about Qian Bao and Seeing Yaobao? My grandma is also going to the county tomorrow."

"I'll ask your eldest aunt to take care of them, I've already told her." Lin Zhao said.

After Qian Bao was stolen, the twins were very nervous about their younger brother and sister, and every time they went out, they had to arrange them well.

Gu Hangbao looked serious. "I'll discuss it with Da Huang in a while, let him follow Qian Bao and Seeing Yaobao all the time."

"Li Bao will take Qian Bao and Seeing Yaobao to play, only in the village, not going to the entrance of the village or the foot of the mountain." Xiang Yubao said seriously.

Lin Zhao took the two cubs into her arms and kissed their smooth, tender little faces. "So when I wasn't paying attention, you two did so much, you are really good brothers who protect your younger brother and sister, Mom's thoughtful cubs."

Xiang Yubao blushed, his heart bubbling with beauty.

Gu Hangbao twisted his body and offered his other cheek. "Kiss this side too."

As clingy as one could be.

Little boys are only clingy for these few years, when they go to school, they won't have a chance to hug or kiss.

Lin Zhao satisfied her son's little request, kissed his other cheek, and didn't forget Xiang Yubao.

Xiang Yubao proudly compared—this kiss wasn't requested by him, it was Mom who took the initiative to kiss him, which means Mom likes him more, right, hehe?

The next day.

After Lin Zhao got off work, she went straight to the county hospital.

After asking the nurse on duty and knowing which ward Wei Xiangdong was in, she went straight upstairs.

Because the whereabouts of the new medicine produced by Meng Jiusi hadn't been decided, the county hospital was watched by many forces, the tense atmosphere hadn't changed, and the doctors and nurses inside came and went in a hurry, their faces all tense.

Lin Zhao silently recited "sin, sin," and expressed her apologies to the innocent doctors and nurses who were affected.

Doctors & Nurses: They were in pain and happy!

Such a miraculous medicine, no matter which hospital it was tested in, was its blessing.

Third floor.

Gu Chan hadn't slept all night, her eyes were full of blue and black, and her expression was exhausted.

Only until she was sure that Wei Xiangdong had no life-threatening danger did her brows relax and a smile appear in her eyes.

"Don't move, don't move your legs around, be careful not to touch the wound, are you thirsty? You just woke up, it's not good to drink water, let me moisten your mouth for you..."

Wei Xiangdong's face was pale, looking at his busy wife and smiling. "I'm still alive, that's really good."

One sentence made Gu Chan's eyes red. She raised her hand, wanting to hit the man, but luckily remembered he was injured and hurriedly withdrew her hand.

Wei Xiangdong clamped his wife's hand and grinned. "When I get better, you can hit or scold me as you like, just don't get angry and ruin your body."

As soon as he moved, the wound hurt so much that he almost couldn't control his expression, but he loved to show off in front of Gu Chan, so he endured it hard, not showing any ferocity.

Gu Chan: "I'm too lazy to hit you."

The family owed so much debt, she still had to find a way to pay it back, pasting matchboxes.

The two stones entered after fetching water, and Gu Mu followed behind the two children.

Seeing Wei Xiangdong wake up, all three were overjoyed.

"Xiang Dong, you're awake!"

"Dad!"

"Dad!!"

The Stone brothers rushed to the bedside, remembering that their father had wounds on his body, so they didn't dare to touch him, let alone press on him.

They had cried quietly yesterday, and their eyelids were slightly swollen now.

Looking at Wei Xiangdong, their faces were full of tension and worry.

"Dad, are you okay?" Da Stone stared at his father, his hands tightly curled together. "You won't... faint again, right? Mom is very worried about you, Mom didn't sleep all night last night, Little Stone cried for a long time..."

He also couldn't help crying, but the arrogant teenager who cared about face wouldn't say it.

Looking at Wei Xiangdong, his heart ached and he was happy to see Gu Chan, but he only saw a cold back of her head. He withdrew his gaze with regret and looked at his eldest son. "What about you?"

"Big brother also cried, cried *woo-woo-woo*, the sound was very loud..." Little Stone exposed his brother's calmness.

Before he could finish speaking, he was covered by Da Stone, who threatened coldly, "Shut up!"

Little Stone was scared by his brother and shrank his neck, burying his head in his father's arm, not making a sound anymore.

Hmph, if I don't say it, I won't say it.

Wei Xiangdong: "Hahaha..."

He laughed until his chest vibrated, and the wound hurt again. The anesthesia had passed, and even breathing hurt, let alone laughing.

After laughing, he looked at Gu Mu. "Sorry to trouble you, Mom."

Gu Mu shook her head. "What's the trouble, you just take good care of your body, don't worry about anything for now, your body is the most important."

"Mm."

Just as they were talking, the door was knocked.

Gu Chan was puzzled and walked over to open the door.

"Zhao Zhao..."

"Eldest sister." Lin Zhao walked into the ward, put down the two pounds of apples she brought, and looked at the person on the hospital bed. "Brother-in-law is awake, how is the situation?"

Gu Chan replied: "The doctor said that waking up means he is out of life-threatening danger, the next step is to recuperate, he is severely injured, he has to stay in the hospital for at least half a month, and then he has to recuperate well for a few months."

"As long as he is okay." Lin Zhao comforted.

Seeing that her eldest sister looked exhausted and her eyes were full of anxiety, she took out a hundred yuan and stuffed it into her hand.

"Eldest sister, you keep this money, Chenghuai and I both have salaries, we are not short of money, don't put so much pressure on yourself."

Gu Chan was indeed short of money and didn't refuse. "Thank you, Zhao Zhao, I will pay it back."

After speaking, she went to write an IOU, signed her name, wrote down the time of borrowing money, and gave the IOU to Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao knew that her eldest sister had strong self-esteem, so she didn't talk nonsense and took it directly.

Wei Xiangdong saw this scene and lowered his eyes, his hands clenched into fists, his dry lips tightly pursed, lowering his eyes, not knowing what he wanted to say.

He didn't regret saving people, it was a human life after all, he just regretted, regretted not protecting himself well, making his wife and children worry.

As for the person saved?

He didn't care.

His purpose in saving people wasn't pure either, saving in vain is saving in vain. As for the family's losses, he would earn them back sooner or later.

"Da Stone and Er Stone, come back with me?" Lin Zhao looked at the two stones. "Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao are thinking about you, they made a fuss to come over, and are at home now."

Speaking of home, she suddenly thought of the fact that her family had a house in the city, which she had never mentioned.

"They are at our house in the county, not far from here, do you want to go see?" She asked for the Stone brothers' opinions.

Gu Mu was confused. "House in the county?"

"Mm." Lin Zhao smiled. "My dad's property, it fell into my hands by mistake."

Well... Gu Mu didn't feel surprised anymore.

That dad of the third daughter-in-law looked like someone who had property.

Didn't expect the third branch to even have a house in the county, her third son didn't eat soft rice, did he?

As soon as the thought arose, she remembered Chenghuai's subsidy of nearly a hundred yuan a month, and put her heart back.

It's good he didn't eat soft rice, it's good he didn't!

"Is it a building?" Gu Mu asked.

"No." Lin Zhao replied. "It's a courtyard, with several rooms. The original courtyard was dilapidated, my uncle helped me hire someone to renovate it, does Mom want to go see?"

Gu Mu certainly wanted to, but she was worried about the family and said, "Next time, my eldest son will come to pick me up in a while."

"Good." Lin Zhao responded, and asked the two stones again, "Have you two decided, are you going or not?"

She rubbed Little Stone's head. "Go out and walk around, it's not good to stay in the hospital all the time."

Da Stone was worried about his father and was about to refuse, when he heard Gu Chan say: "Go, go, go, go walk around, your father is here with me, the doctor said... don't be too nervous, you two go change your mood, don't fight with Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao."

Two stones: They wouldn't fight! ===== CHAPTER 196 =====
