"Mom, you have to know that I earned that money."
Li Xi also didn't expect that Madam Liu, who was holding her in pain not long ago, would change her face in just a few days.
Madam Liu said with a stern face, "Da Ya, I am your mother, I can't control you, can I?"
If he were still the original owner, he would definitely be suppressed by Madam Liu's words, but Li Xi is not the original owner.
"I don't agree with sending Huzi to school, and I don't agree with me doing business. What do you want to do with the money?"
Facing Li Xi's pressing steps, Mrs. Liu looked ugly, "No matter what you say, I won't take out a penny anyway. You must give up on that."
Mrs. Liu's categorical rejection really made Li Xi a little confused, because her rejection was not justified, but more like rejection for the sake of rejection.
Li Xi didn't want to cause too much trouble, so when she turned her head and stopped talking, she turned around and left the room without saying anything.
It is naturally impossible to give up.
The fact that she couldn't get the money back meant that she had to find a way to solve the early investment. Li Xi went back to her room, picked up her backpack and went to the back mountain. If she could earn the money the first time, she could earn it the second time.
On the way up the mountain, Li Xi kept thinking about what he would do next.
Because of Lady Liu's attitude, her subsequent plans had to be re-planned. Li Xi raised her head and glanced at the blue sky. She had always been alone in the past, and she did feel Lady Liu's motherly love when she came over.
This made Li Xi, who had never experienced maternal love, faintly yearn for her, but all her yearning came to an abrupt end today.
She suddenly remembered one of her former college roommates. Her family was considered a middle-class family. Her father worked as the general manager of a small company, and her mother worked in a bank. In addition to her, there was a younger brother in the family, who seemed to outsiders to be very young. A happy family.
But more than once she envied herself as an orphan.
Because her parents have always instilled in her that she is a girl and has to do housework, and she is a sister and has to take care of her younger brother.
She told herself that she had argued before, but without exception she was retorted with the words, "You are his sister and he is your brother. If you don't help him, who will help him?"
In fact, she had a very good relationship with her brother, but every time she heard her parents say this, she would feel very irritated, and gradually her relationship with her brother became more and more distant.
Li Xi doesn't like this kind of moral kidnapping in the name of your good. It's like a sugar-coated sheep dung ball. No matter how bright the appearance is, it can't hide the rotten inside.
She grew up wildly with her grandfather. After her grandfather passed away, she restrained her unruly temperament and immersed herself in a pile of medical books, and her whole body became softer.
But even though she later became an angel in white who saved lives and helped the wounded, her heart was still full of rebellion.
Moral kidnapping does not apply to her.
Li Xi is not a person who likes to be mentally exhausted. She came from time-travel and borrowed the body of the original owner, and she must return the favor. She had promised before that she would take good care of the original owner's family.
But if they really can't get along, she won't force herself to continue living with them. After all, there are many ways to take care of them, not just living together.
However, Li Xi also knew that as an unmarried girl, it would be very difficult for her to become independent from her family.
Thanks to the fact that Lijiazhuang is located at the northwest border, it has been harassed by the Huns all year round, and its lives are constantly threatened, which makes the people of the North more sturdy than those in other places.
There is nothing important in life, so the moral constraints imposed on people here are not very great.
Referring to the Qing Dynasty, if Li Xi traveled to the Qing Dynasty, she would be accused of losing her virginity and commit suicide just because she fell into the water and was rescued. If she had to chase her elders, it would be even worse.
Thinking of this, Li Xi felt extremely lucky. Fortunately, she had not traveled to the Qing Dynasty. After all, the Qing Dynasty bound her feet, which really made it impossible for her to go out. She might as well have died as a boudoir girl with a small brain wrapped around her feet. No matter how lucky she is to catch up with the alien invasion of China, she really can't handle it with a fragile support.
On the way up the mountain, Li Xi carefully observed the roadside, and from time to time he could find several medicinal plants. No matter whether they were precious or not, as long as they were mature, Li Xi picked them and put them in his backpack.
No matter how small a fly is, it's still meat, and she doesn't mind anything now.
Li Xi walked for more than half an hour, and she had already reached the place where she dug gastrodia last time. There were still traces of her last dig on the ground.
The backpack was mostly filled, and Li Xi was tired after walking for so long, so he simply took off the backpack and rested where he was.
Li Xi sat on the ground leaning against a big tree, rubbing her sore calves. The original owner's physical fitness was not good. It seemed that she had to exercise well. After all, no matter what she wanted to do, a good body was essential. Less, after all, the body is the capital of revolution.
Li Xi rested on the spot for a while, and after he recovered, he put the backpack on his back and continued walking deeper.
The vegetation becomes more lush as you go further in. Even though many trees have not yet grown green leaves, the densely intertwined vine branches are enough to give people a headache.
Dead branches and fallen leaves were spread on the ground in disorder, with unmelted snow or half-melted snow on it. The surroundings were quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was Li Xicai's sound like broken jade on the fallen snow.
Li Xi came prepared this time. She used the machete in her hand to push aside the vines blocking the way, and walked straight in without any hesitation.
Villagers often come to the surrounding mountains, so there is almost no need to explore. Li Xi knows that the chance of being both ginseng and krait like last time is slim. After all, such good luck does not happen every day. It is just luck. That's all.
Luck is something that cannot be measured. If you keep hoping for good luck, it is no different than waiting for something to happen.
After entering the mountains, Li Xi has been carefully observing the surroundings. The tall trees that cover the sky and the sun are growing wantonly on the mountains. Li Xi grew up in the mountains with her grandfather since she was a child. She is most aware of the dangers in the mountains, even if there are dangers. past experience, but Li Xi did not take it lightly.
The bright sunlight shines on the branches that have not yet sprouted, casting shadows like waterlilies on the ground.
Li Xi, with a machete in one hand and a small hoe in the other, was as cheerful as a hoe in the melon field. The herbs in the deep mountains were indeed better than those in the outer areas, and the quantity and quality were not inferior at all.
After glancing around, Li Xi's eyes suddenly lit up. She saw a very special kind of fallen leaf. She walked over and held it in her hand. It was as big as a banana fan, and the top of the leaf veins naturally cracked to form a slit.
Reaching out to pick it up, Li Xi looked at it and smiled, "It's actually Magnolia officinalis."
Magnolia officinalis is an endangered and valuable medicinal material, belonging to the Magnoliaceae tree. The bark of Magnolia officinalis is a valuable traditional Chinese medicine, and its flowers and seeds can be used as medicine.
In her last life, she followed her grandfather all over the mountains and never saw Magnolia officinalis. She didn't expect to see it here today.
Now that he saw it, there was no reason to let it go. Li Xi squatted down and started to pick up Magnolia officinalis. As he was picking it up, Li Xi suddenly paused. She shrugged her nose and frowned. The smell of blood!
