Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Digging Ginseng_1

“Ahao, you’ve been asleep for over a month, over a month, how is it that you still have not woken up? In your previous life, you would be back in less than a month, why haven’t you woken up yet in this life?”

Meng Yunhan remembered it as clear as day that Yun Hao didn’t come back during the New Year as usual, instead, he astonishingly came back in June, and he had stayed for a month already. Back then, she didn’t pay much attention to this, because she didn’t care about Yun Hao’s affairs.

But now, Yun Hao was still lying in bed, not having woken up.

“I don’t know if mother fed you at noon.” Meng Yunhan helped tidy up Yun Hao, then carefully removed the ginseng from his mouth to feed him spring water. After he drank it, she put the ginseng back in his mouth.

Meng Yunhan wanted to go and hold Little Huzi, because by keeping track of the time, Little Huzi should be hungry as well.

“Hanhan, don’t go into the mountains anymore.” As it was so dangerous for a person to do so alone, not to mention having to take Little Huzi with her. Isn’t that more dangerous?

If their third son really didn’t wake up, at least he still had a son to carry on their bloodline. But if something happened to Little Huzi, then their third son would lose his only descendant.

“Mother, I cannot promise you that I will not go into the mountains again. If Ahao doesn’t wake up after consuming this ginseng, I will seek out the mountain for more. When I do, I’ll leave Little Huzi in your care. I’ll go into the mountains alone.”

Meng Yunhan took the child and left, leaving their mother-in-law stunned in place.

The mother-in-law was at a loss for words. She could advise her daughter-in-law not to go, but her advice fell on deaf ears. Meng Yunhan only left Little Huzi and, despite her, went to the mountains. If something happened to her, and their son woke up, he’d likely destroy their household upon finding out that it was because of him that Meng Yunhan was in danger. He would probably never want to get married again.

The mother-in-law was in a daze, unable to outmaneuver the circle of concerns she was stuck in.

Upon the father-in-law’s return from work, he spotted his wife blankly sitting there.

“What happened? Has Hanhan not returned yet?” She actually left and didn’t return home.

The mother-in-law blankly raised her eyelids, “She came back, and went into the mountains to dig for ginseng.”

The father-in-law furrowed his brows, “Digging for ginseng? There’s hardly any ginseng around the edge of the mountain. Where is she going to find it?”

“Deep into the mountains, and she took Little Huzi with her. This time of year, there’re so many venomous snakes in the mountains, and yet she went to dig for ginseng with Little Huzi. She brought back a ginseng too, and said that once our son consumes it, she’ll return to the mountains for more. I told her not to go deep into the mountains, and she said she’d leave Little Huzi in my care, and go alone.”

The father-in-law’s brows furrowed tightly. Those deep mountains, even he, a courageous man, dared not traverse. Yet, Meng Yunhan, their daughter-in-law, not only went in search of ginseng but brought a child along with her. And she successfully acquired ginseng and safely returned home.

“Next time, I’ll accompany her into the mountains.” His presence would provide an additional layer of safety.

“But those are deep mountains, filled with such things as venomous snakes. Isn’t it very dangerous?”

The mother-in-law thought of another possibility, “We have money, we can buy it.”

The father-in-law sighed, “And where should we buy it from? I’m afraid there’s no ginseng available for sale.”

The mother-in-law’s eyes dulled immediately, and there’s none available to purchase? Do they really have to dig for it in the mountains?

“Wait until the weather is no longer hot, then go dig in the mountains. How about that?” The mother-in-law kept delaying the trip because she couldn’t bear the thought of the snakes in the mountains.

“We’ll have to see how it goes! By the way, how big is the ginseng?”

“Three leaves.”

Thirty years, not small, not small at all.
