EndlessFantasy TranslationLiu Juan and Chen Ping did not think that children would find anything good. They thought that their daughter Chen Meng’er might have found something that she thought was novel and fun.
However, in order not to hurt their daughter’s young mind, Chen Ping still pretended to be very curious and said, “Yo, our Meng’er found something good. Let me see what it is.”
As Chen Ping said this, he took the cloth bag from his eldest son, Chen Haoguo. He had already thought it through. If he didn’t randomly see what was inside, the expression on his face would be more than enough.
Chen Meng’er had just finished speaking when Chen Ping saw what was inside the bag. His eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly. His face was filled with disbelief.
Liu Juan had the same thoughts as her husband, Chen Ping, but when she saw the expression on his face, she knew that he was not faking it.
Her heart immediately itched. She pushed Chen Ping. “Little Ping, what did Meng’er bring back that surprised you so much?”
Chen Ping finally recovered from his shock after being pushed by his wife, Liu Juan. He did not directly answer his wife, Liu Juan. Instead, he handed the cloth bag in his hand to Liu Juan and said, “Take a look for yourself.”
Liu Juan looked at Chen Ping in confusion. Then, she took the cloth bag from Chen Ping and opened it. Her reaction was completely different from Chen Ping’s. She looked inside the cloth bag, then she grabbed the cloth bag tightly and raised her head to look at Chen Meng’er. “Meng’er, this, this.”
She did not say anything after a long time.
Chen Ping, who had slowly calmed down, continued to ask his wife, Liu Juan, “Where did you get this thing?”
Chen Meng’er finally answered the question. “It’s at the back of the mountain. My brothers brought me to the back of the mountain.” Following Chen Meng’er’s answer, Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan also nodded. The two of them nodded, feeling strange in their hearts. They were curious why their parents would have such a big reaction when they saw the thing in the cloth bag.
“Meng’er found it in the forest at the back of the mountain,” Chen Haoguo added.
“What? You went to the back of the mountain?” Liu Juan heard Chen Haoguo say that they found it in the forest at the back of the mountain; immediately, she couldn’t care less about her surprise. She raised her head and reprimanded them with a straight face, “What’s wrong with the two of you? Don’t you know how dangerous the forest at the back of the mountain is? You actually brought your sister to the back of the mountain! You two...”
Chen Meng’er saw her mother getting angry at her two brothers and felt guilty. She really couldn’t blame her two brothers for this matter, especially her eldest brother, Chen Haoguo. She hurriedly said, “Mom, it’s not their fault for this matter. I was too playful and ran in and got lost. They came in to look for me.” Chen Meng’er ran over and tugged at the corner of her mother’s clothes as she explained coquettishly.
As soon as she said that, not only did Liu Juan’s anger not calm down much, even her father, Chen Ping, raised his eyes and glared fiercely at her two brothers, Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan glanced at them. These two brothers were really worrisome. They actually made his younger sister get lost.
Chen Meng’er also realized that she seemed to have said something wrong. She rolled her eyes and quickly changed the topic. Otherwise, her two brothers would definitely be reprimanded miserably tonight. “Dad, Mom, I know what this is. It’s a ginseng root.. It can sell for a lot of money.”
