Bab 13: Our Family's Lucky Star

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Song Xue was so scared that she was about to cry. "How could it be... second brother, don't you know martial arts? How could you be bitten by a snake? If you die, what will happen to us?"

Song Yang patted Song Xue's back and comforted her. "Don't cry. I'm not dead, but if it wasn't for sister-in-law, I might really have died."

Song Xue cried as she secretly decided that she must treat her sister-in-law well. Even if sister-in-law couldn't speak, she had to treat her sister-in-law well!

Song Yi was also very shaken. No wonder his eldest brother, Song Xiuyan, brought Ding Yao home. It turned out that Ding Yao saved his life. If second brother died, they would have lost a breadwinner. Therefore, Song Yi was also grateful to Ding Yao. He would also treat Ding Yao well unconditionally. He promised not to let the people in the village bully her.

Song Xiuyan put in the bath water for Ding Yao and found her a set of clothes that he had worn before. After he was done with Ding Yao, he went into the house to see his third brother, Song Yi. Song Yi was fourteen years old. Half a year ago, he had an argument with someone in the town. Amidst the chaos, his left leg was crippled. The culprit wasn't caught even until now. All the money for the treatment had to be paid for by himself. He had changed doctors several times, but none of them were able to cure him. Now, Song Yi's entire left leg had atrophied. His entire face was sallow, emaciated, and listless.

Seeing his third brother like this, Song Xiuyan felt extremely sad. In his previous life, his second brother, Song Yang, was bitten to death by a poisonous snake. His family was in a miserable state. The next day, after burying his second brother, his third brother, Song Yi, pierced an awl into his heart and ended his life. In this life, if Ding Yao hadn't saved his second brother, Song Yang, and perhaps his third brother, Song Yi, would have followed the same path as in his previous life.

Song Xiuyan thought about it and went to the yard to fetch the basket. He took out the two reishi mushrooms. Song Yang often wandered around the mountains. When he saw the reishi mushrooms, his eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, "Xiuyan, where did you find the reishi mushrooms?" His Xiuyan really knew how to hide them. He didn't tell him even along the way.

Song Yu and Song Xue also surrounded him. Song Yu looked at them for a while and drooled. "Xiuyan, second brother, is this thing very valuable?"

Song Xiuyan nodded. "Of course it's valuable. One can be exchanged for several thousand yuan."

Song Yu immediately cheered. "That's great! Then we can treat third brother's illness!"

Song Xue also cheered. "Maybe there's still some money left to buy meat. We can eat meat!"

Song Yu and Song Xue were so happy that they almost jumped up. Although they were young, they knew that a few thousand yuan was a lot of money. They could buy a lot of rice and a lot of meat! Even Song Yi, who was sitting at the side, revealed a smile. It was everyone's wish to improve their lives.

At this time, Song Yang quickly asked, "Xiuyan, quickly tell us, where did you find this reishi mushroom?" Under normal circumstances, this thing grew in the deep mountains and forests, but Xiuyan hadn't been to the deep mountains recently!

Song Xiuyan didn't keep them in suspense and directly told them, "Ding Yao found this. When we went to dig for medicinal herbs to cure Song Yang's snake venom, she pulled open the withered branches and leaves and found the reishi mushroom hidden below."

Song Yang was shocked. "She's so lucky?"

Song Xiuyan nodded. "Of course. Ding Yao is our family's lucky star. I have a feeling that after Ding Yao comes to our house, our days will be better and better." Song Xiuyan had the memories of his previous life. Him being able to change the current situation of this family in a short period of time was due to Ding Yao's credit. He hoped that his younger brother and sister could quickly accept Ding Yao and treat her well.

Song Yu was young, but he thought very thoroughly. He said in a low voice, "Xiuyan, Ding Yao found the thing. Can we sell it?"

Song Xiuyan answered affirmatively, "It's okay." He asked Ding Yao on the mountain if she was afraid of being implicated. Ding Yao said that she wasn't afraid, which meant that she was on their side. However, Song Yu's consideration was also reasonable. Ding Yao was the one who had discovered the reishi mushroom, so he couldn't directly sell it. "How about this? When Ding Yao comes out later, I'll ask for her opinion. If she agrees to sell it, we'll sell the reishi mushroom. If she doesn't agree to sell it, it doesn't matter. I can go to the town and help write for people. It'll also help earn money."

Song Xiuyan had very beautiful handwriting. It was taught to him by his grandfather when he was young. In his previous life, he didn't know that this poor mountain village was very backward. Some people who wanted to contact their families outside needed to write letters and send them over. However, the education in the small mountain village was very backward. Some people were illiterate, so they often found someone to write letters for them.
