It seems that the cup Chiang Xiao gave was definitely not cheap either!
"Grandpa Xue, you should drink the Ganoderma water first, and if it works, just let us know. We’ll go back into the mountains to see if there’s any Wild Ganoderma left. If there is, we’ll reserve it for you," Chiang Xiao said without changing her expression.
This was also to set the stage for her grandparents.
Bodies like Chiang Songhai’s and Ge Liutao’s were best nourished slowly with Ganoderma.
Now, the only openly available Ganoderma she had was probably just this small bottle, which she had to "return" to Hu Xibing. What would she give her grandparents to drink in the future?
Therefore, she definitely had to go back to the mountain to "find" another large Ganoderma.
As for whether the chances of her obtaining Ganoderma were too high, that was beyond her concerns. In their eyes, Bai Gu Mountain was indeed a treasure mountain.
If Chiang Songhai had been able to find Ganoderma before, and she had found some previously, then finding another one wasn’t that strange, right?
As for whether other people would get jealous and try their luck digging, that was none of her business. It was all down to luck.
Chiang Songhai was speechless upon hearing her words.
Did she think Wild Ganoderma was like grass, just there for the taking?
Xue Liujin had been in really bad spirits just now, which was quite unsettling to see. But not long after drinking the Ganoderma water, he felt a warm sensation in his stomach, and then his whole body started to feel a bit lighter. At least, he could speak slowly now without running out of breath.
Moreover, he actually thought of his old partner whom he had driven away with his temper.
Seeing the half-knit sweater beside him, thinking of her wearing presbyopic glasses every day knitting him a new sweater, and how he always told her not to bother since he probably wouldn’t make it to this winter and the sweater would only be good for burning with him, Xue Liujin felt he was indeed quite a bastard.
Saying such things was clearly stabbing his partner in the heart.
Xue Liujin looked at Xue Ping. She had also been struggling to withstand the situation and had been crying so fiercely. A woman in her thirties crying like a little girl from years ago. It seemed he had truly hurt the hearts of both mother and daughter.
"Xiao Ping, bring your mom back later, and just tell her, I won’t say those stupid things anymore."
"Dad?" Madam Zheng, Xue Ping, looked at him with surprise and delight.
No matter what they said before, he was stuck in his stubbornness, getting more infuriated the more they talked. She didn’t expect him to have a change of heart now.
Xue Liujin sighed and said, "Brother Chiang is right. I haven’t even reached my sixtieth birthday. There’s no reason to fear this little insomnia when I wasn’t afraid of the hardships and fatigue of wars back in the day! Alright, I’ll keep drinking the Ganoderma water, listen to you all, exercise more positively, quit smoking and drinking from now on, and take care of my health!"
It had been a very long time since he had shown such positive spirit, so hearing him say this, Chairman Zheng and Madam Zheng’s eyes reddened with joy.
Madam Zheng now firmly believed in the effectiveness of the Ganoderma water and grew to like that cup even more.
That evening, they insisted on making a lavish meal at home to treat their family of three. Xue Ping went back home to fetch her mother and daughter.
Chiang Xiao also met the girl who was later said to have been killed in a car accident.
She hadn’t expected her to be the same age as herself.
Zheng Ruhua was also thirteen, two months older than she was, with a fair and gentle appearance, demure, and good at household chores. The whole table of dishes was made by both mother and daughter.
