As long as one was perceptive enough, there were many medicinal herbs to be found in the mountains.
Han Qiao really didn’t mind. No matter what kind of herbs she knew, she would dig them up and put them into the cloth bag she had prepared.
Each cloth bag contained a type of herb.
“Mother, do you think this is Lingzhi?” Sun Xiu exclaimed.
Han Qiao immediately went over.
Under a decaying tree, there were more than ten Lingzhi.
“It’s Lingzhi. Be careful, don’t damage it.” Han Qiao quickly instructed.
The three of them began to dig carefully into the soil and dig out the roots of the Lingzhi. In order to sell it for a good price, they did not dare to damage the roots at all. They carefully wrapped it up and placed it in a bag filled with grass.
The thirteen stalks of Lingzhi looked very good in color and should be able to sell for money.
In the afternoon, when she was preparing to go home, Han Qiao found a clump of golden lotuses.
This medicinal herb was also a good thing and was very expensive.
Today’s trip was worth it.
From afar, Han Qiao looked at the smoke rising from her roof and thought that Heng Yi must have boiled the water for her.
She smiled and walked even faster.
When they got home, Heng Yi had indeed boiled water for them.
He even made pumpkin soup.
Han Qiao suddenly understood the phrase ‘the fireworks of the mortal world’ and the warmth of returning home.
“Have you eaten?” Han Qiao asked.
She asked Sun Xiu and Sun Yi to take a shower first.
“I’ve eaten. Auntie sent food over at noon and even helped feed the chickens.”
Han Qiao nodded and scooped a bowl of pumpkin soup.
The pumpkin soup had already cooled down, and it was very sweet to quench his thirst.
“I was very lucky today. I dug up more than ten lingzhi and more than twenty gold-thread lotuses.”
“There are other herbs too, but they are not as valuable as these two.”
Han Qiao looked up at Heng Yi. “Did you tell White Tea when you’re coming to West Mountain Village?”
“He should bring a doctor over to see me next afternoon.”
“That’s good. Let the doctor take a look at these herbs.”
If she sold these herbs, she would be able to exchange them for money.
When the time came for her family to open up wasteland, she would have to treat her uncles and brothers to lunch at home.
When she didn’t have it she didn’t have to wrry, but now that she had the resources, she couldn’t be stingy.
After showering, the two girls and their mother did not idle and began to make purses.
Han Qiao yawned.
“Mother, go and sleep for a while.”
“Aren’t you two tired?” Han Qiao asked.
Sun Xiu and Sun Yi looked at each other and shook their heads with a smile.
Han Qiao raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned again. “I’m going to sleep for a while. If you’re tired, you should sleep too. Don’t force yourself. It’s not good for your health.”
“Alright.”
Han Qiao went back to her room to sleep.
She only realized that something was wrong after sleeping.
She had been here for some time and had not had her period.

Han Qiao suddenly sat up.
She touched his belly.
Please don’t. She didn’t want to have anything to do with that b * tch Sun Yiming.
If there was…
Han Qiao lay down slowly. She would not keep the child.
She couldn’t be blamed for being heartless.
If she was really pregnant, keeping the child would be cruel to Heng Yi.
Han Qiao rubbed her temples.
She was not sleepy at all, but she did not want to get up.
Until White Tea came knocking on the door with the doctor.
Sun Xiu went to open the door. “Uncle White Tea, this way please.”
Han Qiao then got up, tidied her hair, and went out.
She greeted the Doctor and White Tea.
The doctor checked Heng Yi’s wound and changed the medicine. “You’re recovering faster than I expected. Rest well and change the medicine again the day after tomorrow. Don’t stop taking the medicine for the next few days. I’ll come back in five days.”
Heng Yi was young and recovered quickly, but the Feng family had brought top-notch medicine that could not be bought even with a thousand gold coins.
Not to mention the medicinal herbs he consumed.
“Then when can I recover?” Heng Yi asked.
“No matter when you recover, you should stay at home and rest in August. Don’t take it lightly just because you’re young,” the doctor instructed.
The medicine he brought varied in amounts. These medicinal herbs were all gifts from the Feng family, and the doctor was also from the Feng family.
“Thank you, doctor. Please drink some tea first.”
Han Qiao invited the doctor to sit in the front hall and took out the herbs she had dug up today.
They were all washed and placed in a dustpan, neatly arranged.
When the doctor saw the thirteen lingzhi, he was surprised and pleasantly taken back. When he saw the golden lotus, he was even more surprised.
“Did you guys dig all these up?”
“Yes. We didn’t know how to process or clean up what we dug up today. We could only wash it clean and put it in the dustpan.”
“This is good. The golden lotus and lingzhi are both extremely precious herbs.” The doctor did not let Han Qiao and the others suffer any losses. Together with the other medicinal herbs, he gave them three taels of silver.
Hearing that, Sun Xiu and Sun Yi stood at the side and held each other’s hands excitedly.
Earning three taels of silver a day was like picking up money for Sun Xiu and Sun Yi, who used to earn a hundred coins a month.
“Doctor, can I trouble you to take my pulse?”
“Please.”
Han Qiao rolled up her sleeves and put her wrist over.
The doctor frowned slightly after taking Han Qiao’s pulse.
Han Qiao’s heart was in her throat.
The doctor looked at Han Qiao, then at White Tea and Heng Yi.
He more or less knew that Heng Yi and Han Qiao were about to get married.
For a moment, he could not decide if he should tell the truth.
“Doctor, please say it.” Han Qiao said.
Actually, she had more or less felt it.
“From your pulse, it is indeed a prosperius pulse.”

White Tea was shocked. He first looked at Han Qiao, then at Heng Yi.
Heng Yi felt dizzy after hearing this.
He felt a little cold.
He quickly looked at Han Qiao.
Han Qiao, on the other hand, was very calm. She said calmly, “I’ll have to trouble the doctor to help me prescribe some miscarriage medicine.”
Since she was still young, she could still recuperate.
When the month was older, the gains would not make up for the losses.
“Are you sure?” The doctor asked.
Han Qiao nodded. “Yes.”
“Alright then.”
After the doctor prescribed the medicine, Han Qiao asked White Tea to send the doctor away. Rcmindg him to bring the medicine back for her.
The hall was very quiet.
Sun Xiu and Sun Yi didn’t know what to say and didn’t dare to make a sound.
“Sister Ah Qiao!” Heng Yi said softly.
“Give birth to it!” He looked at Han Qiao and pleaded.
Han Qiao shook her head seriously. “I won’t give birth to this child. Regardless of whether I get married or not, I won’t stay after I divorce Sun Yiming.”
“This has nothing to do with anyone. I’ve decided not to change my mind.”
Han Qiao then looked at Sun Xiu and Sun Yi. “Don’t think that I’m heartless. Back then, you saw those days of suffering with your own eyes and experienced it together with me.”
“You might not understand my decision today, but you will understand when you grow up.”
It would be good for everyone if she didn’t keep this child.
Han Qiao decided not to have the child. No one could persuade her. When White Tea returned with the medicine, she went to the kitchen to fry it herself. Then, she sat on a stool and drank it sip by sip.
After she drank the medicine, Heng Yi fed her some sugar.
“This medicine is really bitter,” Han Qiao said to Heng Yi with a candy in her mouth. “If we have children in the future, don’t let me drink it..”
