Carrying the basket on her back and holding the kitchen knife, Lin Siyan propped the door with wood and turned to walk into the mountain.
There were several roads in the village that could be used to enter the mountain. One of the roads happened to be not far from the bamboo house. Because it was far from the village, very few people would take a detour to enter the mountain from here.
The weather in May had a hint of summer, but it was still a little chilly not long after entering the mountain. Lin Siyan saw that there were already a lot of bracken that were almost knee-high on the roadside. She walked deeper into the mountain while picking them, planning to see where the mushrooms grew first and then pick wild vegetables when she came back.
In the original owner's memory, there were several places where mushrooms grew the most in the past years. At the same time, there were also many wild vegetables. However, it was hard to say if others had gotten there first. Moreover, she could not go all the way into the mountains. Tigers and wolves roamed the depths of the mountains. There were people in the village who almost died at the hands of these beasts. She was not naive enough to think that she would be like other reincarnators. Any wolf or tiger she met would have spirituality.
Lin Siyan came to the place where the mushrooms grew and found many rotten mushrooms on the ground. Some of the red mushrooms were growing well, but no one picked them because they were poisonous mushrooms.
Picking wild mushrooms required skill because the growth environment of wild mushrooms was very special. A place where mushrooms could grow must be a dense forest. Such places were generally cool and humid, and wild animals were more active. Therefore, if he didn't use a stick to pry open the leaves to find the mushrooms, it was easy to miss the mushrooms that had just sprouted. Those mushrooms happened to be the most tender and delicious. Of course, he had to pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times. Once he found a ferocious beast, he had to leave quickly.
Lin Siyan searched for an hour. When there were about one or two catties of mushrooms in the bamboo basket, a voice suddenly sounded in the quiet forest.
Lin Siyan squatted down and looked at the source of the voice. When a girl of the same age wearing a pink green dress appeared in her field of vision, she was stunned. After hesitating for a moment, she stood up and greeted the other party," Xiao Cui, you're here to pick mushrooms too?”
"Siyan? I didn't expect to meet you here!" The girl called Xiao Cui walked towards Lin Siyan with a face full of surprise." Didn't you just get married? Why are you out working?"
Lin Siyan smiled unnaturally. If it wasn't for the memory of the original owner reminding her that this girl called Xiao Cui was her childhood playmate and good friend, she really didn't plan to greet her.
"Xiao Cui!" As soon as Xiao Cui finished speaking, the woman who came later called out sternly, her eyes signaling Xiao Cui to stop talking.
" Sister-in-law, I..." Xiao Cui looked at the woman whom she called sister-in-law, feeling wronged.
The woman she called sister-in-law glared at her unhappily and was about to say something to Xiao Cui when Lin Siyan hurriedly stopped her.
"It's okay, Sister-in-law." Lin Siyan said. Then, she said in embarrassment," You guys know about me, so I won't say anything more. Aren't you guys here to pick mushrooms too? I've already plucked the patch in front.”
Lin Siyan knew that this woman was Zhou Xiaocui's brother, Zhou Dafu's daughter-in-law. She had been married to the Shen family for three years and had a son and a daughter. She usually treated Xiao Cui as if she was her own sister. If she wasn't worried that Xiao Cui would poke her heart, she wouldn't have scolded Xiao Cui.
Siyan, I'm sorry." Xiao Cui looked at Lin Siyan sadly." If you're wronged, you must tell me."”
Lin Siyan smiled and said," Don't worry.”
After that, the two of them exchanged a few more words and then dispersed to do their own things. Madam Chen, who had walked away while they were whispering, suddenly turned back and started looking for mushrooms beside Lin Siyan.
Lin Siyan didn't understand what was going on. Just as she was about to walk further away, the other party called out to her," Sister Siyan, Sister-in-law knows that you're not satisfied with this marriage, but it's already something that can't be changed. Then you still have to pay attention to what you should pay attention to, lest others gossip about it."”
Lin Siyan blinked in confusion.
Madam Chen saw her confused look and was a little surprised and a little sympathetic. However, she still pointed at her own hair and then pointed at Lin Siyan's hair.
Lin Siyan was stunned at first, but then she realized that Xiao Cui had the same hairstyle as her. Madam Shen's hair was tied up like a married woman's hairstyle, while her hair was still the same as the original owner's memory, like Xiao Cui's unmarried girl hairstyle.
After understanding what Madam Chen had said, she quickly untied the bamboo basket and placed it aside. She began to unwrap her hair, but after unwrapping it, she panicked. She would not tie her hair up like Madam Chen. She could not help but stare at Madam Chen with a pleading gaze.
Mrs. Shen was amused by her pitiful eyes. She put down her basket and walked to Lin Siyan's side with a smile." I'll help you comb it. You have to learn seriously."”
Lin Siyan quickly nodded. At first, she was only thinking about how to earn money quickly and get out of poverty. She completely forgot that she was now in an ancient village. In this era where there was no entertainment, gossiping had long become a daily pastime for women.
The news that the Lin family had forced their daughter to marry off despite her daughter's opposition for the betrothal gift had probably spread in the village long ago. However, she did not know much about the village. However, other than knowing these people from the original owner's memory, the original owner had ignored everything that had nothing to do with the original owner. Therefore, there was no reference value at all. She only hoped that she would not meet those gossipy women. After all, she was not good at dealing with such people.
Even so, Lin Siyan knew that this was at most her beautiful and unrealistic wish. As long as she lived in River Origin Village, she would have to deal with the villagers sooner or later. Those who originally disliked the Lin family would definitely treat her as a thorn in their side. If they could seize the opportunity to mock them, they would definitely find an opportunity to speak ill of them.
Lin Siyan had already learned about these principles from the village when she was very young. However, in her previous life, Lin Siyan's hometown was full of people with the surname Lin. No matter how deep the conflict was, they would still unite against the outside world when they were provoked. On the other hand, Jiangyuan Village was a village with a mixed surname. Let alone uniting against the outside world, it would be a blessing if they did not add insult to injury at the critical moment.
After Madam Chen helped her tie her hair, she saw that there were only a few mushrooms in Madam Chen's basket. Then, she looked at the mushrooms that filled half of her basket. She immediately had an idea." Sister-in-law, thank you for reminding me. I don't have anything to repay you. Coincidentally, I picked a lot of mushrooms today. I'll give you half."”
"How can this be?" Madam Chen quickly refused, but she couldn't resist Lin Siyan, who was already carrying her basket and pouring mushrooms into Madam Chen's basket. When she saw that there were so many mushrooms in her basket, she immediately smiled." You're still as polite as before. It's just a few words. Why do you need so many mushrooms?"”
