Chapter 158: We don’t want to be hardworking. I have something to ask you, but it’s not a good thing.
"Bad brother-in-law!"

An Wenjing cursed with a smile, patted An Wenyi on the back and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, the big monster has been driven away by my brother-in-law."

"Really?!" An Wenyi looked back with lingering fear.

"Really, really. If you don't believe me, let your brother-in-law hold you and see." Chen Hui said.

An Wenyi felt relieved, put her hand around An Wenjing's neck and said, "Sister, let's go back quickly, it's getting dark."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll pack up and carry you back."

After comforting her sister, An Wenjing finally noticed the porcini in Chen Hui's hand.

He took the largest one in his hand and said in surprise, "It's so big. This one can be sold for fifty cents, right?"

"Only fifty cents?!" Chen Hui felt that all his happiness just now was in vain.

"One! One mushroom can be sold for 50 cents, which is a very good price."

An Wenyi's small backpack was not big enough to carry fodder and chicken mushrooms, but it was just right for holding a dozen porcini mushrooms.

An Wenjing poured a few chicken mushrooms into a large backpack, put the porcini in it and asked An Wenyi to carry it.

He carried a basket of chicken mushrooms on his back and freed his hands to hold An Wenyi, who was tired after running for half a day.

Chen Hui carried a basket of grass on his back and held the other half of the basket in his hands.

With the load exceeding expectations, the progress of going down the mountain became very slow.

When the group of three returned to the village, the villagers had already had dinner.

Those who have work to do work, and those who don’t take a stroll in the village in the cool evening breeze or sit on the bridge to chat.

"Okay, you have to walk home by yourself. I can't carry you anymore."

An Wenjing put An Wenyi down and asked, shaking her sore arms.

"Sister, you have worked hard. Let me give you a massage!" An Wenyi came forward with a smile and rubbed An Wenjing's arms with his little hands.

"You're so good. It's okay, sister. Just take a rest."

An Wenjing rubbed An Wenyi's little head, afraid that she was tired, and took down her small backpack and held it in her hand.

An Wenyi giggled and ran towards home holding the doll.

"She's trying to use sweet words to control you."

"You, aren't you afraid of spoiling this little brat?" Chen Hui said, grabbing An Wenjing's arm and kneading it.

"Wen Yi has never felt the love of a father. As a sister, it is only right that you love her more."

"My hands are so sore. I can't hold her anymore after just a few days of not holding her."

An Wenjing shook her arms and said.

"Chen Hui?!"

"I recognized Wen Jing from a distance. Is it really you?"

Yuan Chuanfang passed by and was surprised to see Chen Hui carrying a large backpack on his back and a large bundle of hay in his hand.

He came over and looked around, his eyes full of smiles.

"Aunt, are you here to praise me? Or to make fun of me?" Chen Hui asked with a smile.

"Oh, that must be a compliment to you."

"I just thought you'd become more sensible after getting married, but I didn't expect you'd start working in the mountains now?"

"Okay, okay, it's good to get married!" Yuan Chuanfang patted Chen Hui intimately and said with satisfaction.

"I didn't go up the mountain to work, I just went there to have some fun!" Chen Hui corrected immediately.

The image of an ambitious and hardworking person cannot be established casually.

Once you stand up, if you slack off a bit, people will gossip about you behind your back.

"You, are the kind of person who can't stand being praised, just like Xiaoqiao." Yuan Chuanfang scolded with a smile.

"Hehe." Chen Hui smiled cutely.

"I was just about to go see my aunt after dinner. Wen Yi was a little scared when he went up the mountain today. I'm going to ask for a cup of tea to calm my nerves." An Wenjing took over the conversation. "Scared? How could he be scared on the mountain?" Yuan Chuanfang was puzzled.

An Wenjing looked at Chen Hui deeply and said helplessly: "Chen Hui lied to her that there was a ghost on the mountain."

"I'm talking about the big monster!" Chen Hui corrected.

"You are such a grown-up, why are you still scaring a child?"

"If you get scared, you won't grow taller for several months. If you do this again next time, Lin Jiao will beat you."

Yuan Chuanfang lectured Chen Hui and said, "I'm going home now. Bring Wen Yi over after you finish dinner. It just so happens that your uncle also has something to ask Chen Hui."

"My uncle is looking for me? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?" Chen Hui said cautiously.

"If it's done well, it's a good thing. If it's not done well, it's a bad thing. You'll know when you come here."

After Yuan Chuanfang finished speaking, he turned around and left, as if afraid that Chen Hui would ask more questions.

"Why do I feel that the probability of bad things happening in what Auntie is talking about is greater than good things?"

"Could it be that Uncle Xiaoqiao has done something again? Has he provoked Chen Qiaomei again?" An Wenjing said as he watched Yuan Chuanfang walk away.

"No, it shouldn't be."

"Let's go home and eat first. You'll know when we get there." Chen Hui said as he picked up the backpack and took the grass ball.

Without An Wenyi to carry, An Wenjing only needed to carry a basket of chicken mushrooms and porcini mushrooms. She felt a lot more relaxed, and even felt like she was walking briskly.

Chen Li, who lived next door, was smoking at the door. When he saw An Wenjing carrying a large backpack and a small backpack, he was about to go up to her and say something to her.

Seeing Chen Hui walking behind him, he secretly thanked himself for not saying too much.

Silently blowing smoke rings, he walked towards the bridge.

"Finally I'm back. If you hadn't come back I would have gone up the mountain to look for you."

Lin Jiao had already cooked dinner, but it had gotten cold.

An Wenyi ran home earlier and poured the cold dishes into the pot to heat them up again.

When Chen Hui and An Wenjing arrived home, the food had just been served.

"Mom, we found a lot of chicken mushrooms today. Brother Chen Hui and Wen Yi also found porcini mushrooms."

"look!"

An Wenjing walked into the kitchen carrying a backpack and said with her back turned.

"So many?! Where did you find them?"

"Wenyi just came back and said there was a basket, but I didn't believe it. Aren't you guys so lucky?" Lin Jiao said in surprise.

"I picked these mushrooms very carefully and protected the roots very well."

"We can keep some for ourselves, and sell the rest in town tomorrow."

As An Wenjing was talking, she walked into the hall, put the backpack away, filled it with water and went out to wash her hands.

"With so many, I can sell them for seven or eight dollars in town, right?" Lin Jiao said happily.

"Only seven or eight bucks?!"

"Let's take it to the county and sell it tomorrow. We should be able to get a few more dollars." Chen Hui said.

"Is it true? Can you sell it for a few more dollars?" Lin Jiao asked.

She seldom goes to the county town often, let alone takes things there to sell.

The familiarity and comfort made her go to the town mostly for buying and selling things.

"I don't know either. Anyway, let's give it a try. At worst, the amount won't be less than what we have in town." Chen Hui said.

"Okay, then you guys go and sell the mushrooms, and I'll be in charge of cooking lunch for you guys to eat when you come back."

Lin Jiao smiled and used a rice spoon to press the rice in the bowl to make it firmer. She then added a little more rice on top and handed it to Chen Hui.

"No need, we are going to the county town to attend the full moon banquet tomorrow at noon." Chen Hui took the bowl and said casually.
