Chapter 76: Random Nonsense

using it to divert his attention."I didn't expect there to be such a big fish in this pond. The water here is so clear, I didn't see it just now.""What kind of fish is this It doesn't look like the o...During the meal, Zongbei curiously eyed his sister-in-law's lingzhi in her hand, his gaze constantly flitting to Fang Jinshi. He seemed to have something he wanted to ask but was too hesitant to speak.

That was medicinal material worth 30,000 taels of gold! In his entire life, he had never seen, let alone heard of, something so valuable.

Last night, he was startled by his sister-in-law and was curious all night. He asked his older brother about it, but his older brother wouldn't say anything.

Just say that it was the sister-in-law who found it, and she's in charge of everything. Even if it's sold, the money is hers, so don't even think about taking any of her money.

Zong Bai retorted, saying he wasn't asking about his sister-in-law's money.

Isn't this the most valuable medicinal herb you've ever seen Last night it was so dark, he couldn't even make out what the white lingzhi looked like.

Fang Jinshu had looked at Zong Bai several times, and every time her gaze met his, the boy would lower his head and pretend to eat.

After several interactions, Fang Jinshi felt awkward and decided to take the initiative to speak.

"Zongbai, do you have something you want to tell me"

Upon being called out, Zong Bai was startled and subconsciously glanced at his older brother.

He swore to the heavens, he was only curious, he didn't mean any harm to his sister-in-law Lingzhi.

Just say what you have to say. What are you looking at me for

"If it's about me, just ask."

Upon hearing this, Zong Bo let out a sly chuckle and boldly asked, "Then I may as well ask."

I do have some courage, but not much.

Fang Jinxiu almost laughed out loud at the sight. Was Zong Yu that scary Even his own brother was so afraid of him, he couldn't even ask a question at the dinner table without looking at his face.

"Don't be afraid, just ask."

Zong Bai saw his older brother lower his head and eat in silence. It seemed that his sister-in-law's words were more effective after all.

It seems like their family is going to change drastically in the future.

"Sister-in-law, actually I'm just curious about that white lingzhi mushroom in your hand. Is it really worth that much money"

Last night when Zong Yu Lian brought Su Yu Sheng, Mu Shi was already asleep. Over the years, she had long been accustomed to falling asleep as soon as it got dark. Besides, she was frugal and reluctant to light lamps. Once it got dark, besides sleeping, there was nothing else she could do.

So he didn't know what happened in the courtyard, nor did he know that his daughter-in-law had acquired a valuable medicinal herb.

"What kind of white Lingzhi is this" Mu Shi raised her head in surprise, looking at Fang Jinshu.

Fang Jinxiu knew they would ask about this, and she didn't intend to hide it anyway. She simply took out the white lingzhi openly.

Yesterday, Zongyu and I were going to town when we unexpectedly found a rare lingzhi mushroom in the woods, look, right there.

She looked at the people from the Zong family and gave them a brief explanation, “Bai Lingzhi is indeed a highly valuable and cherished medicinal herb.”

“This Ganoderma lucidum is particularly old and of excellent quality, it's crucial in many prescriptions for difficult-to-treat illnesses.”

Fan Jinshui ate breakfast slowly while speaking.

"Sister-in-law, since this is such an important medicinal herb, you should take it quickly." Zong Bai looked at Fang Jinxiu's nonchalant appearance. It seemed she didn't think much of this white lingzhi at all.

Just like that, simply wrapped in a handkerchief, the handkerchief still had mud on it that hadn't been wiped clean, and it was placed on the table for them to examine.

Mu didn't think this thing was worth much after hearing about it. It was just so ordinary, if she saw it on a mountain, she would probably just step on it like a common roadside mushroom.

"Is this Lingzhi It's quite valuable" she said, unconvinced.

Zong Bai, this little rascal, nodded frantically beside her, "Yes, Mother! This thing is worth a fortune!"

"Last night, Yulian," he just uttered Yulian's name, and his foot under the table was kicked by Fang Jinshu.

Fortunately, Zong Bai reacted quickly, remembering that his mother had been in a bad mood these past two days because of Yu Lian. He hurriedly smoothed things over.

Last night, I remembered Jade Lotus telling me that she'd heard from villagers that Lingzhi was a very valuable medicinal herb.

"It could be sold for thirty thousand taels of gold!"

As soon as Zong Bai finished speaking, the chopsticks in Mu Shi’s hand snapped and fell to the ground with a clatter. She jumped back in fright, staring in horror at the grotesque thing on the table, no bigger than her palm.

"What This thing is worth 30,000 taels of gold"

Zong Bo himself didn't believe it, but he told his mother about it with gusto as if it were true.

"Isn't that right Sister-in-law, you quickly tell mother, I didn't lie to her."

Fang Jinshi helplessly put down her chopsticks.

"Actually, it's not worth thirty thousand taels of gold. I just made up a price last night."

"Huh" All three members of the Zong family looked at her in surprise, even Zong Yu.with his own mouth that he would give them five large bowls, chopsticks, cooking pots, knives, and everything else in Brother Zong Hu's house to take away."Fang Jinshu smiled as she looked at the peop...
