Lu Jinghuan’s departure remained the talk of the village for a long time. It was mostly because it was the Lunar New Year1, and the villagers had little else to gossip about, so this provided the perfect material.
When Zhang Qingmei heard the news, she dazed for a moment before burying her head back into her embroidery. He didn’t belong to her, nor did he belong to that other person.
Her main priority now was finding an opportunity to rid herself of this family of eccentrics. The only thing she could truly rely on was her skill with a needle.
Ren Xin currently had a new pursuit: she wanted to be able to leap onto roofs and walk up walls. She wanted to be the super-powerful kind who could fly back and forth with a “whoosh-whoosh.”
Book Spirit Number One said, “Don’t you know magic? Can’t you just make yourself float?”
“I can, but that counts as a cheat code. I want to rely on myself for everything!”
“I didn’t expect you to be such an ambitious little ginseng~”
You bet!
Today was another day where she couldn’t stand staying indoors. Carrying her small basket, Ren Xin was taking a stroll at the foot of the mountain when she spotted a certain creature before her.
Wasn’t this thing the female lead’s “simp2” general?
Where was Zhang Qingmei? Did she want this general or not?
Before Ren Xin could decide how to dispose of the body, Zhang Qingmei appeared.
She froze when she saw Ren Xin and the man lying not far away. She didn’t understand what was going on either!
Ren Xin gave a simple explanation. “I just came up for a stroll. I don’t know what happened.”
Zhang Qingmei clearly didn’t believe her, but she understood the urgency of the situation. “Then what should we do with this person?”
Ren Xin shrugged. “I didn’t see anything. If you want to save him, go ahead.”
Zhang Qingmei felt a sense of déjà vu, as if history were repeating itself. She immediately spoke up first. “You stay here and keep watch. I’ll go find the Village Head.”
Ren Xin wasn’t willing, but Zhang Qingmei ran off with incredible speed.
It seemed she would have to change her habit of wandering up the mountain for no reason lately.
Ren Xin squatted a short distance away, watching the motionless man while grumbling to Book Spirit Number One. “Who wrote this novel? Why is it just one man after another, but not a single gold ingot? Don’t they know gold is more important than men?”
Book Spirit Number One replied, “But Host, this is a sweet romance novel. There must be a male and female lead, a devoted male supporting lead, and a vicious female supporting lead. Ideally, there should even be an evil mother-in-law. Otherwise, the sweetness won’t stand out!”
Ren Xin: “???” Shen Shen did not understand, and she mentally blew a raspberry at everyone!
The man across from her actually moved. Unfazed, Ren Xin shifted her position and hid behind a large tree.
He looked around in confusion, his eyes locking onto Ren Xin instantly.
Ren Xin: “…” Hide-and-seek was definitely not a ginseng’s forte.
“Just stay lying down. The villagers will be here to save you soon. I’m keeping watch!”
“Young lady, I…”
“You don’t need to tell me anything. I’m not curious, and I can’t help you. Just wait patiently~”
The man: “…” Was he not handsome enough?
Ren Xin curled her lip. If a man could only boast about his looks, he was nothing but a flashy, useless softy. This ginseng liked male models who had both substance and style—the kind you had to spend a little money on~
Zhang Qingmei returned with the Village Head and several tall, sturdy men, including Ren Xin’s eldest and second brothers.
Ren Xin stomped her feet; it was a bit cold. Her eldest brother didn’t even look at the injured man on the ground. He simply hoisted his sister onto his back and said in a muffled voice, “Mother said she’s going to skin you alive when you get home. Let’s hurry!”
Ren Xin: “!!!” Had her mother transformed into a monster?
“Brother, Big Brother, have some mercy. Help me take the fall. Let Mother hit you first, then hit Second Brother, oh, and Dad too. By then, Mother won’t have any strength left to hit me.”
Her second brother snorted. “You’ve certainly got it all calculated, haven’t you? Quite the little schemer.”
Of course. The first rule of ginseng survival: if one shield isn’t enough, bring a few more
