Xie Jingchen left reluctantly when the sky just started to lighten.
Xie Jingchen returned to the guesthouse to see the target person frowning and showing an unhappy face; he didn’t give this woman any pleasant expressions, and even to avoid suspicion, let Hu Zhengjie and Qiu Shuangshuang handle all communication.
Sha Meina was completely helpless with this poker-faced man. It would take at least half a month to get the Chinese medicine, only then would it be sold surreptitiously to a select few after the handmade pharmacy production. After her bodyguards learned of this, she was forcefully taken back by the several bodyguards who were always with her.
It was just by chance that Yan Jinsu reunited sweetly with her husband for two nights, and then he left with the mission’s person of interest.
Rarely going out, especially to the land of medicinal herbs, Yan Jinsu, of course, wouldn’t just simply return to her hometown.
Instead, she and Chen Xiufang split up to work, with Chen Xiufang collecting herbs with two men in the local area.
After communicating with the local medicinal farmers and even meeting with Elder Fu through Chen Xiufang, learning where he had found herbs on which mountain, she ventured alone into the deep mountains.
At first, Chen Xiufang was reluctant, but she had seen Yan Jinsu’s assertiveness. When Yan Jinsu insisted, Chen Xiufang had no way to refuse.
Moreover, with local medicinal farmers leading the way, Chen Xiufang felt somewhat relieved.
Thus, Yan Jinsu and Chen Xiufang stayed in Z county town for half a month, each achieving their own gains.
Yan Jinsu’s achievements were the greatest, having faced the iron fact that ’money talks.’ With Elder Fu’s support on the side, the first time Yan Jinsu returned to the hotel, she had the neatly collected herbs personally tailored and turned into a batch of pills for Elder Fu’s grandson.
After ten days of medical treatment, Elder Fu’s grandson’s condition improved somewhat, at least the incontinence due to paralysis had begun to get better.
Seeing this improvement, Elder Fu couldn’t be happier, and even when Yan Jinsu asked for an exorbitant price for the medicine, Elder Fu didn’t blink an eye.
In fact, Elder Fu had originally thought the chances of his grandson’s illness being cured were slim; as a medicinal farmer, he was somewhat aware of the current level of medical care.
Little did he know, the boss and pharmacist of the Chinese medicine were extraordinary people, truly reliable, and never deceptive!
With hope, coupled with gratitude, Elder Fu was a significant help in the event of Chen Xiufang gathering herbs.
Upon hearing their prescription and drug pricing, Elder Fu felt that they were good-hearted and ethically minded doctors!
Elder Fu had quite a reputation locally, always being warm-hearted and willing to make things convenient as long as the price was right and he had the herbs.
Decades of benevolence had established him as a well-known, seasoned medicinal herb collector in the area.
Elder Fu was getting old and seldom went into the mountains. Knowing that Yan Jinsu was also a medicinal farmer and grateful for her treatment of his only grandson, he gave Yan Jinsu all the maps of medicinal materials he had personally created over the years.
Delighted by the find, Yan Jinsu had originally decided to return home after half a month to reunite with her husband and children. This delay stretched to another half a month.
By the time she returned home, full of harvest, the atmosphere of the New Year had already passed, and everyone at home was busy with their own affairs. Only she and Xie Tiesheng, the two elders, were still at home caring for their five children.
Even Xiao Si and Xiaoqi’s education was delayed.
There was no helping it. Xie Jingyang himself was a teacher, and the two children were going to different schools this year, so it was really inconvenient for him to take them back to school.
In the end, Xie Tiesheng let the children stay with him, suggesting Xie Jingyang return to the county town to teach.
Xie Tiesheng made this decision after consulting the siblings, Xiao Si and Xiaoqi. Xie Jingyang had no choice; he wanted to take his children back to his place of work, but the children didn’t want to go with him!
His role as a father was truly a failure.
Regardless, Yan Jinsu’s return was a huge relief for both Xie Tiesheng and Zhou Xiuhua.
This trip by Yan Jinsu and Chen Xiufang greatly enhanced the reputation of the Chinese medicine.
What made Yan Jinsu more speechless was that their ’joy in the hunt’ resulted in her and her husband missing each other again.
Originally, once Xie Jingchen had safely returned Sha Meina to the country and handed her over to Dr. Sha, his mission was considered complete.
Unfortunately, after handing over the mission, Doctor Sha finally came to his senses, but the critical memory records from his research remained at the former research institute.
After some discussions and confrontations within the military, in the end, it was Xie Jingchen who was sent on the mission.
What upset Yan Jinsu was that she thought she would soon see her husband, but due to his work, the couple could only wait for Xie Jingchen to return from abroad to reunite.
It was like a bolt from the blue for Yan Jinsu who had hurried back eagerly, longing for a reunion with her husband—
