The Marshal’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 79: Chapter 78 Love You! Husband Chapter 79: Chapter 78 Love You! Husband Cheng Yao shook his aching arm and plopped down onto the nearby chair, looking at Qu Tong with a collapsed expression.

Without Qu Tong asking, Cheng Yao spilled the entire story from start to finish.

Behind the school, there was a forest where many red mushrooms grew.

The last batch of Fei Wenxing’s mushrooms was picked from there.

It rained a couple of days ago and the mushrooms sprouted again.

Fei Wenxing suspected that he was poisoned last time because he didn’t cook them thoroughly, so today he went and picked some more to make soup, stewing them for a full two hours.

What followed was what Qu Tong had seen.

“Tong, are those red mushrooms really edible?” Cheng Yao asked.

Qu Tong: “This…”

She was sure they were edible, but not sure if they would believe her.

As she was contemplating, the young nurse made an opening for her.

After tidying up the infirmary, the nurse took Qu Tong to get examined.

The examination process was assisted by a robot; just as Xu An said, there was no blood drawn, only a physical check.

Qu Tong followed the instructions step by step, and within twenty minutes, she had easily finished.

The medical report was sent directly to her own light brain; the results showed no problems and met the standards for applying.

When she returned to the infirmary, Fei Wenxing had already come out with his stomach washed and was lying on the bed for an IV drip, listless yet conscious.

Dr. Gu stood far away from the sickbed holding the medical report, as if he feared that Fei Wenxing might suddenly jump up and pull his pants down.

“Are mushrooms really that delicious?” Gu Xiao was quite perplexed.

When he was interning at the military hospital, he told Fei Wenxing that most mushrooms are poisonous and recommended not eating them.

Yet once back, here he was again in the infirmary.

“I don’t know, I just took two bites and couldn’t even taste anything, hahaha!” Fei Wenxing said, but as soon as his gaze slipped past Gu Xiao’s head, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The listless appearance he had just now was gone.

Gu Xiao, with a head full of black lines, turned and went out to get medicine.

Taking the opportunity, Qu Tong asked, “Can you show me what the mushrooms you ate look like?”

Fei Wenxing pulled up the photos of the mushrooms he had taken earlier on his light brain and displayed them: “These ones, they look so delicious.”

Qu Tong’s forehead twitched.

Poisonous Fly Agaric, distinctive for its white spots on the cap and vibrant color, closely resembles the Big Red Mushroom.

It had strong hallucinogenic effects but was not fatal, otherwise, who knows whether the continuously optimized physical constitution of interstellar humans could withstand the toxicity of poisonous mushrooms.

“This is not the Big Red Mushroom; it’s called Poisonous Fly Agaric, and causes hallucinations but is not fatal,” Qu Tong explained to the two.

So it wasn’t a problem with her live broadcast.

“Hahaha, idiot, you still insisted that you were poisoned because you didn’t cook it well enough, I knew it! Even if you cooked it for three days and three nights, you’d still get poisoned if it was meant to be. Luckily, this mushroom only gave you hallucinations, consider yourself lucky, kid.” Cheng Yao laughed hard, slapping his thigh.

“So, why exactly were you staring at Senior Gu’s head and laughing?”

Fei Wenxing: “I saw a pink fox tail growing out from behind him earlier, swaying provocatively.”

“Today I saw a bumblebee pooping on his head, hahahahaha!”

Just thinking about it made Fei Wenxing laugh so hard he was flipping backwards.

“I’ve got to tell Senior Gu later about how the bumblebee pooped.”

Qu Tong: “…”

She really couldn’t understand the thought processes of these two…

She seriously doubted if Fei Wenxing’s stomach had been properly cleaned.

Gu Xiao, who had come back with the medicine and heard everything: Thank you, really.

After returning, Qu Tong immediately booked her driver’s license test for Saturday.

It was only when she logged into her shop that evening that she remembered there was a problem with the delivery process.

She could only use Jun Li’s account to send a message to Gong Yun, informing him that the delivery of the pharmaceuticals would be delayed by 3 days.

Gong Yun had no objections, and even inquired about Jun Li and Jun Li’s master’s wellbeing.

He only calmed down after confirming that both were safe.

The pharmaceuticals scheduled for uploading at midnight would proceed as usual, but Qu Tong made it clear in the store’s announcements that they wouldn’t be shipped until three days later.

The online community didn’t care about waiting those three days; they would accept even if it required booking a month in advance.

50 bottles of pharmaceuticals sold out almost instantly.

Without shipping, the money in Qu Tong’s account had arrived, but could not be withdrawn. Despite vigilant care, one oversight broke the financial chain.

She now had two options:
First, to use the money from Si Yuting’s shared account.

Second, to draw from the Mu’an Vegetable and Fruit Shop’s funds.

Qu Tong checked the balance in the Mu’an Vegetable and Fruit Shop. After deducting the costs for purchasing planting machinery and various packaging that Xiang Bin had applied for, there was still over 4 million left.

Withdrawing it all to buy a better aircraft was possible, but she didn’t want to do that. She wanted to save up a bit more and let Xu An choose a mecha he liked on his own.

After all, Xu An and Xiang Bin had been fully in charge of the Mu’an Vegetable and Fruit Shop.

So the first option was the only choice left.

After composing her message, she sent it to Si Yuting: “Honey, I want to buy a higher-performance aircraft and need to borrow some money from you.”

Then she attached an emoji of a kitten rolling around.

Qu Tong had just meant to notify him, but the reply came quickly: “Don’t buy it.”

Qu Tong: ???

Wasn’t it said that she could use his money freely? Had he changed his mind so quickly?

Indeed!!

The words of a man…

Before Qu Tong could finish complaining, the second message arrived.

“I have my own laboratory and manufacturing team. Let Uncle Chi take you there to pick one out when you’re free. If there’s nothing you like, you can have the mecha designers make one according to your preferences.”

Qu Tong: “…”

FML!

Such extravagance is inhumane!

It’s too insulting!!

Qu Tong furiously typed: “Love you! You’re the best, Honey!”

She sent three emojis of the kitten rolling around in a row to express her excitement.

On the chat screen, it showed that the other party was typing, typing for a while before it stopped, and Qu Tong received nothing.

No problem, as long as the money was there.

After sleeping, it was Saturday.

Getting an Interstellar driver’s license was much simpler than in the modern world, all done in one go.

Qu Tong sailed through without any problems and got her license on the spot.

Just as she returned to school, she received a message from Xu An. He had already assembled a team for an outing planned for next Friday.

Qu Tong calculated, and there was plenty of time.

Qu Tong inquired about the content of the mission.

Xu An had accepted two tasks at once, which were to gather medicinal herbs on two nearby planets.

On the map, both planets were marked in light red, indicating that they hadn’t been regularly cleared, were uninhabited, and might even harbor Star Beasts.

“Won’t that be very dangerous?” Qu Tong was somewhat concerned.

Xu An shook his head, “No, we have already partnered with a team of mercenaries who kill the Star Beast to go together. We’ll just split the reward with them.”

Tasks issued by the Pharmaceutical Department not only offer point rewards, but some also offer pharmaceutical rewards. Naturally, the more generous the pharmaceutical rewards, the harder the tasks are.

“Then take me with you?” Qu Tong offered her suggestion.

“Why would you go? I’m not going there for fun,” Xu An said with amusement.

“I’m from the Pharmaceutical Department. I know herbs.”

“No,” Xu An refused sternly.

“What would make it ok?”

“Nothing will make it ok.”

“Who else is in your team?”

“He Zhou, Song Ke…” Xu An listed about a dozen names without much thought.

Qu Tong smiled slightly: “Alright.”

Xu An had a bad feeling.
