Liang Qifang had heard her husband mention before that this child was a good one. After hearing what Xinyan said now, she had an even better impression of her.
If it were someone else, they might use this favor for personal gain and cling to the Zheng Family. But this Miss seemed a bit embarrassed instead.
For Xinyan, of course, she felt embarrassed. She really hadn’t done much at the time. Not only had she accepted their gratitude, but the white mist in the space had also receded a lot, and the area on the slope expanded significantly. How could she keep letting them remember that incident?
Xinyan saw that the couple still had more to say, so she didn’t stay in the water room any longer. She greeted them and then left with her basin.
But just a few steps out of the water room, she heard Liang Qifang say, "This young girl is indeed good."
Zheng Yuezhong coughed and followed, "When have I ever been wrong?"
Liang Qifang remembered why she came out to find someone and said, "Alright, I won’t argue with you. By the way, is there any news? It’s been days."
Zheng Yuezhong sighed heavily, "Wild ginseng is rare enough, not to mention it needs to be over a hundred years old. I’m afraid it’s not easy to find."
Liang Qifang was a bit anxious, "But Elder Liang said that it’s best to have ginseng over a hundred years old. Only then can the medicine achieve the desired effect. What should we do now?"
Xinyan, with her keen hearing, didn’t expect they were looking for ginseng.
Then she heard Liang Qifang continue, "The doctor also said, Western medicine doesn’t have a better solution for this illness. We can only rely on Chinese medicine. But Elder Liang said that if we could find good ginseng, we might have a chance. If not, no matter how he adjusts things, it may not have much of an effect."
Zheng Yuezhong was also anxious, "Yes, we’ve mobilized everyone we can. Elder Liang mentioned that Mr. Du had one before. I went to see him yesterday, but unfortunately, he had already made it into pills and sent them to some officials."
Liang Qifang, knowing her husband’s mood was down, said, "Big Brother has also got people looking. Maybe there will be news in a few days."
After hearing their conversation, Xinyan had a debate in her heart. One voice said, "There’s some in the space, and helping the Zheng Family would earn a favor; maybe it could be useful later."
Another countered, "No, you can’t just tell them you eavesdropped and know they’re looking for ginseng. What if they misunderstand and think you’re trying to latch onto power?"
One voice argued, "Saving a life is the greatest good. You can’t pretend you didn’t hear anything. Besides, the more good deeds you do, the more the space expands. The Zheng Family surely would pay generously for the ginseng. It’s a win-win situation."
Another replied, "But you can’t just go knocking at their door without a reason."
The debate continued until Xinyan settled Granny Zhang, went out to pour water, and saw Zheng Yuezhong still smoking with a troubled look. Only then did she make her decision.
However, she wasn’t prepared to speak now. First, she needed to prepare herself. It wouldn’t be good to suddenly produce fresh ginseng out of nowhere, causing suspicion.
Secondly, she needed to think about how to phrase it. She didn’t want to reveal her extraordinary hearing ability, especially since the Zheng Family wasn’t an ordinary family. Caution was needed.
She poured out the water, cleaned the basin, nodded to Zheng Yuezhong, and was about to leave the water room.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Yuezhong suddenly spoke, "Xiao Han, if I recall correctly, Director Hu mentioned before that you came from East Province?"
Xinyan nodded lightly, "Yes."
Zheng Yuezhong cleared his throat, "There’s something. Could I ask for your help?"
From his words, Xinyan knew what he meant, "Go ahead."
In his current predicament, Zheng Yuezhong had no choice but to cast a wide net. Although he knew the chances were slim, he wanted to try, "It’s like this...."
After hearing his words, Xinyan realized the Zheng Family’s elderly matriarch was in a dire situation, relying on ginseng for treatment to sustain life. A miracle through treatment was possible, but without it, it would only be a matter of one or two months.
Xinyan understood their feelings very well. In a way, it saved her from needing an excuse, "Alright, I’ll ask around for you. If there’s news, I’ll let you know."
Zheng Yuezhong gave his office phone number directly to Xinyan, "If there’s news, just give me a call."
Xinyan agreed and then left.
