The Herbal Scents of Farm Life

"See, Granny has picked the best meat for you, even chicken legs."

Half a wild chicken doesn't really yield much meat, especially in springtime when they have been starving all winter long. It was quite difficult for her to pick out this small amount.

As for the chicken offals and the like, they could go to the old man, plus the children could have a taste of the soup.

"I don't know, maybe it's because I was at the Chen family's house that day. Seeing all those roasted chickens on display, then they wanted to bury me, I... I was scared."

Lin Caisang wore a fearful expression on her face, looking hesitatingly at the bowl of chicken.

"Granny, could you take this and give it to my elder brother and He'er, Qing'er to eat, also for Grandpa, you, and Third Uncle and Aunt? Please share it."

"Is that so."

Ms. Lu of the Lin family was never suspicious; she absolutely believed and obeyed her granddaughter.

"Then I'll ask Third Uncle to catch some fish in the river later, Granny will make you a fish stew. I'll take the chicken soup out now."

Lin Caisang: "..."

Fish soup!

Can she claim that there was not only chicken but also fish on the table that day?

Of course, the answer is no. Otherwise, her Granny may think of something else to feed her, and with such a stout body...

"Yes, Granny, you are so good to Sangsang."

"Of course, who else could Granny be kind to if not Sangsang?"

Ms. Lu of the Lin family gave a proud smile; she adored and doted on her precious granddaughter and had to do right by herself.

"Alright, Granny will take the chicken out, you rest after eating the bread." Saying this, she left.

In a short while, Lin Caisang, standing at the door-room, saw Ms. Lu of the Lin Family and Third Aunt, with bamboo baskets on their backs and sickles in their hands, leaving to cut pigweed.

She frowned at the departing figures of the two women, momentarily lost in thought. It was early spring now, shortly after the New Year, with everything yet to revive. How could there be enough pigweed outside for them to harvest?

Especially since Uncle Jin's family was selling pigweed for two cents a basket, many people must be out there earning money by collecting pigweed. How much could Granny and Third Aunt possibly gather?

"Looks like earning money is a must!"

But before earning money, one thing must be sorted out!

Closing the door, Lin Caisang vanished, appearing in a strange place. She was holding a precious heirloom she had brought from her former life - a golden bead.

In her previous life, Lin's family had been doctors for more than two hundred generations, and this golden bead, which always hung around her neck, was a Lin family heirloom, symbolizing the status of the head of the Lin family.

She had heard this golden bead was a treasure without really knowing what it was, even thinking it might have been a joke from her ancestors.

Because at first glance, this golden bead really looked like a rusty iron ball.

It was only after she had crossed over to this place that she sensed the power of the golden bead. You could say that it was the golden bead which had brought her to this place, giving her a chance to start life anew.

And what an astonishing thing it was - a world with boundless earth to till!

She was torn between gratitude and cursing it!

After all, with this bead-enclosed space, she could do many things and earn a decent amount of money by growing crops to sell, but it had also brought her to this unfamiliar place, a place where one could cry out "dad!" without him being near and call "mom!" without her running to her.

Thankfully, she had her grandparents' love; otherwise, life here would have been too dull.
