Chapter 235: He’s Not Well Yet, But His Wife Isn’t Treating Him Well Anymore!

"Comrade Su, we went to nearby villages this afternoon and collected all these mushrooms. Take a look to see if it’s enough. If not, we can go up the mountain tonight to gather more. Aren’t you leaving tomorrow morning? There’s still time."

"Comrade Su, here are the ginseng roots you requested. My family’s ginseng is five hundred years old, there are two from my aunt’s family that are two hundred years old, and five more that are one hundred years old. As for the Polygonum multiflorum, we have a larger quantity—seventy right roots over ten years old, twenty one over fifty years old, and eight that are over a century old."

Unlike ginseng, each plant of Polygonum multiflorum grows individually. It grows in clusters, so if you find some in one spot, you can almost certainly dig up more around the same area.

"Auntie Chen, how much are you selling this five hundred years old one for?" Su Yijia was surprised that they could produce so many good things, but when encountering good stuff, it naturally couldn’t be missed.

Fortunately, apart from the three hundred thousand left by Qin Kaize’s mother, which was still in the passbook, she had withdrawn all her other money. Otherwise, if she wanted to collect things now, she would have to go to the county to get the money.

"Eight... eight hundred, is that okay with you?" Auntie Chen asked nervously. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Two years ago, her grandson got married, and she had planned to sell this ginseng to build a new house. However, when she went to the provincial Chinese medicine store, they only offered six hundred. And she had to leave the ginseng there until they sold it before they would pay her.

Su Yijia frowned, "Eight hundred..."

"If it’s too high, seven hundred will do," Auntie Chen hurriedly said.

"It’s not that it’s too high, it’s too low. Although I bought the ginseng directly from the medicine store, and they need to make a profit too, your price is a bit unreasonable. I bought three hundred years old ginseng from the medicine store for one thousand five hundred, and one hundred years old for eight hundred. Polygonum multiflorum over one hundred years old is three hundred, over fifty years old is about one hundred, and over ten years old is just over ten. So, Aunties, let’s discuss and set a new price."

Su Yijia was greedy, but when she saw the villagers in front of her wearing patched clothes, she really couldn’t bear to take advantage of them. However, she also made it clear that she wouldn’t pay whatever price the medicine store asked. After all, with two fewer transactions, the price had to be lower.

"Alright, Comrade Su, wait for us." The village chief’s wife said with a happy face.

She knew that Comrade Su was a good person and would never let them suffer losses.

When Su Yijia nodded, she pulled the Aunties who followed her and quickly went to the side to discuss in a low voice.

It seemed that they were still arguing, and after about ten minutes, they came back.

"Comrade Su, we’ve discussed it. The five hundred years old ginseng is one thousand five hundred, three hundred years old is eight hundred, and one hundred years old is five hundred. Polygonum multiflorum over one hundred years old is one hundred five, over fifty years old is seventy, and over ten years old is eight."

The village chief’s wife looked at Su Yijia eagerly, as if afraid she would refuse.

Fortunately, this price was still considered cheap for Su Yijia.

Although her space could accelerate growth—where one day equaled a year—it would still take a hundred days to grow a century-old ginseng. If an urgent situation arises during that time, it might not be fast enough.

So, spending some money to buy more now would provide extra security.

"Okay, Auntie, I’ll go get the money for you." Su Yijia didn’t haggle, she agreed directly.

Grandma Lin followed her, a little worried, "Jiajia, do you have enough money on you? If not, you can use the five thousand you gave me and your grandfather last time. We haven’t used it yet."

"It’s enough." Su Yijia smiled and refused, "Grandma, don’t worry, I planned to collect things before I came here, and I brought the money with me."

Grandma Lin knew she had brought a few small boxes, which felt a bit heavy. She estimated that they were all money, so she didn’t insist.

In fact, the box was filled with books, used as a disguise.

Her grandparents weren’t the type to pry into her secrets, and even if they were opened, they would tell her. So she wasn’t worried at all. As for those small iron boxes being stolen, she didn’t mind at all.

"Auntie Chen, here is eight thousand eight hundred and ninety-four yuan. Please count it to see if it’s correct. If there’s no problem, could you please hand it over to the other Aunties?" Su Yijia handed the money to the village chief’s wife.

She hurriedly counted it, and when she confirmed that there was no problem, her excited body trembled slightly.

"Yes! It’s all correct. Thank you, Comrade Su, you are really our village’s great benefactor." The village chief’s wife choked up.

Su Yijia felt a little embarrassed at being praised like this, her cheeks blushing.

Qin Kaize looked at her with a burning gaze from the side, his shallow lips curved with a faint smile.

Those Aunties were all quite old, but seeing his affectionate demeanor, they couldn’t help but feel a bit envious. Even their husbands, when they got married back then, were not this affectionate.

"By the way, Auntie Chen, do you have seeds for ginseng and polygonum multiflorum? I want to buy some from you." Su Yijia suddenly asked.

"I have a few seeds of polygonum multiflorum stored, but as for ginseng seeds, we’ll need to go into the mountains to search. It just so happens that this month is its peak maturity period," the village chief’s wife said after some thought.

After they found the ginseng in the mountains and dug it out, they would directly scatter the seeds in the mountains. They also knew where the small ginsengs were, and now the seeds were just ripe. Even if Comrade Su didn’t say it, they would organize a trip to the mountains to scatter the seeds.

Although they were poor, they still had to leave something for their descendants.

"Then I’ll trouble you." Su Yijia didn’t expect to solve so many things with this trip to Yun Province. She was so excited.

After spending another two hundred yuan, she collected all the mushrooms they had sent over. The Aunties left satisfied.

"It’s getting late. Let’s rest early. We have to leave for the county before ten tomorrow. It’s a five or six hour journey, so we need to be well-rested." Xia Weiguo glanced at the time and said quickly.

"Indeed, we need to sleep early. The Aunties will definitely come early tomorrow, so we have to wake up early too." Su Yijia also said hastily.

Qin Kaize just watched as his little wife entered the room without even looking back. Even when closing the door, there was no lingering sentiment.

Alas, he’s not well yet, but his wife isn’t treating him well anymore. After he recovers, will she still care about him?

"Have you seen enough? If not, we’ll wait until you see through that door." Xia Weiguo teased with a smile.

Qin Kaize didn’t feel embarrassed. Instead, he sighed with resentment, "I haven’t seen enough, but I can’t break through this door. Let’s sleep early. I can see my wife earlier tomorrow."

"Alright! I’ll wake you up early tomorrow." Xia Weiguo shook his head and then pushed him back into the room.

As he watched Qin Kaize support himself on the bed and take a few steps before lying down, his eyes reddened again.

Jiajia really is a talented person. Just one Detoxification Pill and Ze has recovered like this. She is his great benefactor, as well as the benefactor of the Xia family. This kindness will have to be remembered for a lifetime, even for generations.
