Chapter 166 - 166: Picking Mushrooms



In the present moment, it wasn’t so much a worry that Gu Zi might not be willing to go; rather, they simply felt it wasn’t necessary to bother her.

On top of taking care of Lele and managing the household meals, they worried that they would burden her even more.

Gu Zi and Su Shen exchanged a glance, their silence speaking volumes.

“Do you not want to go?” Su Shen asked. “Or do you think it’s inconvenient?”

Psychology books mentioned that children at Su Bing and Su Li’s age are generally sociable and willing to engage in activities. It wasn’t likely that they didn’t want to attend the school event; there probably was another reason.

Su Bing wanted to say they didn’t want to go. However, looking at the anticipation in his younger brother’s eyes, the words failed to escape his lips.

He didn’t really mind going or not; it didn’t matter to him. Yet, he understood his brother’s strong desire to attend. His brother longed for more friends, for communication with others.

Now that their mother had finally discovered the invitation, the younger brother must be hoping for their mother to attend.

Su Bing said, “Dad, you’re too busy with work, and Mom has to take care of our sister. We think it’s okay not to go.”

When he called her “Mom,” he felt relieved. It didn’t seem as difficult to say as he thought.

Gu Zi’s lips curled into a smile upon hearing this. She gently patted Su Bing’s head and said, “So you both want to go, right? Then let’s go.”

Su Bing felt somewhat immobilized as Gu Zi’s hand rested on his head. He felt like a pet being stroked. It was a strange sensation, magical but not quite as reassuring as he thought a mother’s touch would be.

Upon hearing Gu Zi’s agreement, Su Li, excitedly stood up. “Really? Mom, you’ll

Gu Zi smiled and expressed that she was very happy to participate.

Su Li felt the weight lift off his chest, the cloud in his mind dissipating. He joyfully ran around the living room before rushing to the yard to share the news with their dog, Big Yellow. “Big Yellow! Mom is taking us to the parent-child activity!”

Big Yellow lay still, gazing with melancholic triangular eyes, seemingly saying, “What’s it got to do with me? Mom never takes me along. All the happiness is yours, I’m just here guarding the house.”

After lunch, Su Shen headed out. It rained heavily the previous night, so he needed to check on the pig farm.

Once Lele fell asleep, Gu Zi also left, heading to the cooperative to buy some soy sauce and vinegar, among other seasonings.

Before leaving, she instructed the two brothers to take good care of their sister and prepare her formula when she woke up.

Gu Zits eyes sparkled with delight as she briskly approached these white objects. Squatting down for a closer look confirmed her suspicions – they were the much sought-after mushrooms.

These mushrooms, known as “cow dung mushrooms, ” grew in grassy fields.

Their current whiteness and tender texture meant they were fresh and edible.

Without hesitation, she joyfully began picking the mushrooms. She remembered her previous life where there were many parks around her residence. During seasons of ample rain, as soon as the weather cleared, she and the neighbor’s kids would head to the lawns to gather these mushrooms.

They would compete to see who could collect the most. The one gathering the most mushrooms was hailed as the “Mushroom-Picking Champion,” although there were no actual rewards. Still, it was a happy memory of childhood.

They would take the mushrooms home for the adults to cook. While not ideal for stir-frying, these mushrooms were perfect for making soup and exceptionally flavorful. Gu Zi always finished every drop of soup in her bowl.

“Gu Zi? It’s really you!” A familiar voice sounded behind her. Gu Zi, upon turning around, saw Gong Xin.

Gu Zi felt as though she were hallucinating from mushroom picking. How could Gong Xin be here?

However, as Gong Xin approached her, she confirmed it wasn’t a hallucination.

Putting the mushrooms in the basket, Gu Zi wiped off some sweat and asked, “Gong Xin, what brings you here?”

Looking at her sweating profusely, hands full, Gong Xin felt a pang of pity. Gu Zi was leading such a hard life. Her husband clearly didn’t know how to take care of a woman!

Despite the Su family’s wealth, they made Gu Zi work. It was simply unfair!

She pulled Gu Zi out of the field and said angrily, “I’m here to rescue you, Gu Zi.

Don’t serve that older man here. I’ll take you to find my brother.”

Gu Zi widened her eyes in confusion, not understanding what was happening..

She reached out and touched Gong Xin’s forehead, “Are you running a fever?”
