Chapter 960: Love brain and dead lick dog

This soft-shelled turtle, the largest one was about 3 jin, and the smallest one was less than 2 jin.

Looking at these three soft-shelled turtles, Wang An immediately said to Wang Li with a smile:

"Isn't this perfect, Fifth Brother? When you go to Li Xiuyu's house, take one of these soft-shelled turtles to your mother-in-law. If your mother-in-law drinks soft-shelled turtle soup, her illness will be almost better by the next day, and she shouldn't have any trouble chasing chickens and ducks, hehehehe..."

Wang Li's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but he was a bit doubtful:

"Really, Fourth Brother? Is this soft-shelled turtle thing really that fierce?"

Seeing Wang Li believe in himself so much, Wang An felt a bit embarrassed.

Mainly, the reason Li Li Xiuyu's mother, Han Han Sanfeng, fell ill was because Li Li Xiuyu's father committed suicide, which caused her excessive grief, plus the loan sharks kept coming to the door to cause trouble and rob things, which caused her to be anxious and angry.

Under such a series of blows, Han Han Sanfeng was knocked down.

But although the soft-shelled turtle is a very nourishing thing, Wang An didn't know at all whether it would work after Han Han Sanfeng ate it.

However, the main function of the soft-shelled turtle is to nourish Qi and blood and enhance physical fitness, so since Han Han Sanfeng is so weak now, it should be somewhat useful, at least it won't be bad to eat.

Thinking of this, Wang An said with certainty:

"That's a must. Soft-shelled turtles are very nourishing. Doesn't your family have ginseng now? Just pick the ones with broken whiskers; anyway, those aren't worth much. Let Li Xiuyu stew a soup with the soft-shelled turtle and ginseng for your mother-in-law, it will definitely be very effective."

Soft-shelled turtle and ginseng soup is definitely a good thing, and its medicinal power is much more fierce than ginseng and deer antler wine, but if a person has no illness, try not to drink this thing.

Mainly because the fire is too fierce, making people feel hot and uncomfortable all over.

Wang Li muttered with a face full of worry:

"Ginseng, they have it now. I went over this morning to give them ginseng..."

Speaking of this, Wang Li's words suddenly stopped. It was clear that he realized he had let it slip.

When Wang Li looked at Wang An with an awkward look, he was met with Wang An's half-smiling expression.

Wang Li was about to explain when he heard Wang An say with a smile:

"Fine, Fifth Brother, your speed is fast enough. You went to give them ginseng early in the morning. How many did you give?"

Wang Li said with a dodging look:

"I took quite a few, 2 four-leaf ones, 4 'dengtai' (five-leaf) ones, and several two-leaf ones."

Looking at Wang Li's dodging look, Wang An knew that Second Mom Yao Ping and Second Uncle Wang Wang Daliang didn't know about the ginseng Wang Li gave away.

Otherwise, Wang Wang Daliang's couple would definitely have stopped Wang Li from doing this.

Because what Wang Li was doing was completely messing around.

Just when Wang An was frowning and estimating the price of these ginsengs, Wang Li added:

"Only 1 four-leaf and 1 'dengtai' were whole, the rest were broken-whisker remnants."

Wang An nodded upon hearing this, put away his smile, and said earnestly:

"Our family has quite a lot of ginseng. It's fine for you to please Li Xiuyu, but you're doing this before you're even married, so when will it end?"

Pausing, Wang An continued:

"Fifth Brother, you have to know that you two still have three years before you get married. You know how to give bullets in small amounts, so why don't you know how to do that with ginseng?"

"Lu sa" is a local dialect, meaning intermittently but not stopping.

After Wang An finished speaking, looking at the silent Wang Li, he sighed and said:

"In one go, you gave away more than 2,000 yuan. Even if we aren't short of money, we shouldn't do it like this."

When he said this, he saw Wang Yi driving the horse cart over, so he looked at Wang Li and said:

"Remember, if you don't understand something, ask your parents. It's not shameful. We shouldn't be stingy when we should be generous, but being blindly generous when we shouldn't be is just being a fool."

Seeing Wang Yi walking over, Wang An stopped talking in time.

Actually, Wang An was too lazy to care about Wang Li using ginseng to please his future wife.

Mainly because Wang An, Mu Mu Xueli, and Wang Li had dug quite a lot of ginseng in that old place back then.

Later, Wang An and Wang Li went into the mountains to hunt black bears and saved Gao Gao Liguo and his brothers, and Gao Gao Liguo and the others gave Wang An and Wang Li a lot of ginseng.

In other words, the amount of ginseng in Wang Li's family was very large.

So it was reasonable and harmless for Wang Li to take some out to please his future wife.

It's just that Wang Li and Li Li Xiuyu weren't married yet, and Wang Li was sending ginseng to Li Li Xiuyu's house so generously, which was indeed a bit inappropriate.

Because ginseng can't be eaten as a meal. If it's used to treat illness, even a three-leaf wild ginseng can be used for half a month.

So Wang Li's way of sending was completely showing off.

Besides, human nature is something that shouldn't be spoiled; everyone is the same, don't talk about anyone.

This time the ginseng sent was worth more than 2,000, and the other party was very happy. If more expensive things were sent next time, the other party would definitely be happier.

But after sending it back and forth, meaning after the other party formed a habit, what else to send?

If one day he suddenly sent something not worth much, what would the other party think?

Moreover, Wang Li was so generous before they were married, so what about after they were married? He couldn't just send nothing, right?

Of course, these weren't the reasons why Wang An said so much to Wang Li.

The key reason was that Wang Wang Daliang's couple didn't even know that Wang Li was sending ginseng to Li Li Xiuyu's house so generously.

It must be said that this kid Wang Li was definitely the kind of "love brain" mentioned in later generations; if you want to say it uglier, it's a well-deserved "dead lick dog."

The kind that licks until they have nothing left.

After Wang Yi drove the horse cart over, the three of them worked together to put all the fish into the manure curtain.

After loading the cart, the three brothers walked home slowly.

After returning to Wang An's house, the three of them threw all the living fish into the fish pond, put the half-dead ones into the vat, and as for the dead fish, the big and famous ones were kept for eating, and the rest were all fed to the dogs, wolves, and lynxes.

It's just that because of the temperature and transportation, the mortality rate of this cart of fish was quite high. Excluding that huge sturgeon, nearly 300 jin of the 700-plus jin of fish died.

Just when the three of them were busy slaughtering the large sturgeon, Big Black and the other dogs suddenly started barking, and then an uninvited guest ran into Wang An's house.
