Chapter 143 Revealing Ruyi's Thoughts
Haha, I see. All that scheming and fawning you over was just to grow up faster?
Speak up, tell me your purpose, tell me everything, including the fire dragon ginseng you mentioned.
She didn't believe that this world spirit, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, was simple-minded.
[Hehe... that master, actually, I... hehe, I just want to grow up quickly, really.]
Dongfang Jin pouted, "I don't believe you for a second."
I know I'm lazy, but I'm also self-aware enough that I won't have any extravagant hopes of becoming more diligent for the rest of my life.
Strong, independent women? That's not for me, don't bother trying.
Otherwise, why do you think I would sell all those things cheaply, buy people myself, and let them make money for me? Wouldn't that be better?
Ruyi got impatient: [What do you mean?]
Is Dongfang Jin getting anxious?
It's meaningless.
Ruyi became even more anxious: "What does that mean?"
Dongfang Jin suppressed a laugh: [It means just a little something. To be clear, I'm not jumping into this trap.]
Am I really a fool? The Realm of Wishes? The Spirit of the Realm? They say I made a contract with you.
But you're still ordering me around, calling me "Master" all the time.
The entire Ruyi Realm belongs to me, isn't it yours? You grow by relying on life force, so plant your own seeds!
Don't you have seeds? A whole box of seeds in your Qiankun bag, why don't you plant them?
Don't give me empty promises; I'm only doing it willingly. Understand?
Ruyi: This master is the real black sesame filling!
It seems my thoughts have been seen through by my master. Oh well, I might as well give in.
【Um...Master...Sister Jin...I was wrong, haven't I been farming for thousands of years?】
Besides, there's only so much land these days, so I just wanted to give you some practice.
Furthermore, if I change owners, I'll have to start all over again. Do you think that's easy for me?
Dongfang Jin scoffed at her clumsy explanation: "Oh! So you think your hardships are caused by me? Go find the person who created you!"
If you have to start all over again if you change owners, then why don't you change owners?
They weren't immortal; some were killed early on.
【Humph! 】
Besides, haven't I forgotten many things?
You forgot and now you're bullying me? Making me farm?
Dongfang Jin was pretending to be angry, but now she was genuinely angry.
【I'm not... I'm just angry that your house entered the Realm of Bliss, and all my old things are gone?】
What Ruyi said is true; the Ruyi Realm of the past was vast and boundless... with beautiful mountains and rivers and abundant resources...
But now, how can she not feel aggrieved?
"Then you can't blame me! Who brought my house in here? Go find them!"
Also, when you ate the egg tarts from my fridge, why didn't you complain that my house was taking up space in the Ruyi Realm?
Besides, did I know it would follow?
It's because your obsession runs too deep.
Dongfang Jin...
This is ridiculous...
Why is it that my obsession is so deep? That's my life's work, and I'm still living off it.
This is the only thing I can do; how could I not be deeply fixated on it?
I've finished building the house, and everything is ready. I'm just waiting for my trip to end so I can open for business.
And then what? I got sick before I even boarded the plane.
Can't I be less persistent? Am I unwilling to accept it? Don't people always leave with a sense of resentment? Am I wrong?
My heart is filled with resentment and complaints. Did she make a scene?
Isn't it just accepting reality?
I admit I was wrong! I'll plant the land from now on, and if you go there, I'll give you the magic weapon.
But if you don't cultivate, you can't control those magical artifacts, can you?
Upon hearing the word "magical artifact," Dongfang Jin wondered if it was a flying sword. All her frustration immediately vanished.
【Roughly the same. 】
[I said, Ruyi, so you can chime in on whatever I'm thinking, right?]
Aren't you talking to me?
No, I was talking to myself.
But I heard it!
You don't have to listen.
Okay, then you...
[I won't practice.]
Jun Wenhui looked at her as she returned, puffing out her cheeks: "What's wrong?"
Dongfang Jin smiled slightly: "It's nothing, he's just tired from traveling. He'll be fine after a nap."
Why aren't you eating? Eat quickly, they'll have to wait a while.
Gu Yumei was still a little unaccustomed to it: "Why don't we wait for them for a while?"
"No need, let's eat. This isn't a stir-fry. We can just add more charcoal when they arrive."
After Dongfang Jin finished speaking, she sat down, picked up a few slices of mutton with her chopsticks, and put them in the pot.
Jun Wenhui sat down as well and said to Gu Yumei, "Eat up, all of this is ready."
Gu Yumei still felt uneasy, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only eat absentmindedly.
Are we just going to eat all this meat like this?
There is a sheep. There are six brothers in the Shen family. Except for Xiao Jun, the second uncle, who is not married, their branch only has two children, Xiao Jun and Xiao Hui. The other branches all have four children.
The family lived together without separating, eating and sleeping together. Every day, the meat in Grandpa Xiaojun's bowl was only two thin slices.
Her two sons only get to eat one piece during the Lunar New Year.
What now……
Gu Caiwei said happily, "Little sister, this mushroom is still the best."
Her words interrupted Gu Yumei's thoughts. She looked up and saw her son eating without even lifting his head.
The pain in her heart struck again.
Dongfang Jin picked up a few pieces and put them in her bowl: "Eat more if you like it. Uncle Xi's family has dried a lot more, and they should be sending them to our family in a few days. You won't run out of food."
Gu Caiwei nodded happily: "Mhm."
Shen Qijun hadn't dared to eat it yet. Seeing Caiwei eating with such satisfaction, he asked in surprise, "Auntie, isn't this poisonous? A few years ago, someone in our village ate this and died a few days later."
Dongfang Jin used serving chopsticks to put a slice of meat into his bowl: "There are many kinds of mushrooms, some are poisonous and some are not."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of chanterelle mushroom and put it in his bowl: "Here, these kinds are non-toxic, so eat with confidence. We've eaten them several times already."
Gu Jingye looked up at Shen Qijun: "Uncle Xi made his fortune by picking mushrooms, which my stepmother taught him."
Last time, Xiao Zheng's older brother said that his family has built a new house and no longer has to live in the dilapidated temple.
Xiao Zheng's full name is Liu Zheng, and he is Liu Xi's son. So, Dongfang Jin told Gu Yumei about the Liu family's ordeal.
When Jun Wenhui heard this again, she envied Yunxiang: "Now Liu Xi is leading the villagers who once helped his family to pick mushrooms, star anise and Sichuan pepper in the mountains."
He buys from those villagers, and then brings them back to sell to Xiao Jin.
The two large rooms at the main entrance are now filled with dried Sichuan peppercorns and star anise, while the small hut next to them is filled with dried mushrooms.
The powder we use in making these meatballs is Thirteen Spices, which includes star anise. Xiao Jin made all of these.
Gu Yumei was surprised: "These mushrooms can be sold for money? You don't know, there are plenty of them in the mountains near my home."
Especially under the pine forest, there are patches of it, and no one picks it at all.
Furthermore, in the past, villagers, unable to bear the hunger, picked some to make soup, which almost killed an entire family.
Jun Wenhui picked up a piece of morel mushroom for her and said with a smile, "After these mushrooms are dried, Xiao Jin buys them from Liu Xi for five copper coins a pound."
Gu Yumei: Five copper coins? That's five hundred coins! A pound of rice is only twenty-five coins. A pound of these mushrooms would buy so much grain...
This thing is on the back mountain of Shenjiazhuang... It's not a mountain of silver!
Shen Qihui swallowed the meat in his mouth: "It's all because Grandma Gousheng bullied them. Her aunt picked some mushrooms and insisted that their family try them first."
"If Gou Sheng's mother hadn't been the first to come out and eat in order to protect them, she wouldn't have died."
He heard these things from Gou Sheng and his brother.
