"Brother Ren, I was delayed by something at home some time ago. You see, as soon as I resolved this matter, I rushed back without stopping."

Chu Zhenyu didn’t know how much Ren Jingxiao knew, so if he didn’t point it out, he would just pretend he didn’t know.

"Oh, if nothing else, I'll leave first." Ren Jingxiao is not the kind of person who likes to reminisce about the past.

"Hey, Brother Ren, I came here this time because I want us to continue our cooperation." Seeing that Ren Jingxiao did not expose him, Chu Zhenyu simply spoke.

"I've sold all my herbs, and I don't have anything to sell you anymore, so there's no need for us to cooperate."

Ren Jingxiao understood what he meant and told him the truth.

"How is that possible? We mostly cooperated on common medicinal herbs. You didn't take out those precious ones."

Chu Zhenyu is not a fool. This place has vast mountains and there are so many common medicinal herbs in the mountains, and there will be no shortage of rare treasures.

"I grew those herbs, and they're all gone. As for the others you want, I don't have any."

Ren Jingxiao knew what this man was thinking. He wanted something good this time.

Not to mention that he gave those things to Xia Xia, even if he didn't, he didn't plan to sell them to him.

He is not stupid. The price he gave him is acceptable here, but it is definitely not enough compared to big cities.

Xia Xia said that the country will have new policies in a few years, and he will be able to make a lot of money if he takes action then. He is not short of money now.

"How could you not have it? The two times you gave me wild ginseng were very good. Are you not satisfied with the price? We can discuss it again."

Chu Zhenyu was anxious. He now understood that ordinary people could not get in or out of the mountain, so it was impossible for him to go in and look for it by himself.

"I only have three. I gave you two, and I kept one to save my life in case of an accident. I have done my best for you, and I will not sell the last one."

Ren Jingxiao didn't say that he had nothing. He said that he had something, but it was only the last one and he wouldn't sell it. It would be wrong to make things difficult for him.

Chu Zhenyu didn’t know whether what he said was true or not. Did he not find it or was it really gone in the mountain?

How could there be only three ginseng roots in such a huge mountain range?

"Brother Ren, listen to me. Look carefully, not just in your mountain, but in other mountains as well. There must be more in the mountains. As long as you find it, the price is negotiable."

Chu Zhenyu didn't dare to go, so he could only place his hopes on Ren Jingxiao.

"The mountains are too dangerous. Last time I went there to dig some wild vegetables and was almost eaten by a wild beast. When my wife found out, she cried and made a fuss. I promised her that I would never go to the mountains again."

"I've had you by my side for so many years, and I've made a lot of money, enough to last me the rest of my life. What could be more important than life? Don't you think?"

Ren Jingxiao knew that this man had a background and he didn't want to offend him.

Chu Zhenyu wanted to say that he was a loser, but he knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless because this country boy had a limited vision.

Over the years, he also knew that he had indeed made money. Although the money did not seem much to him, it was indeed a huge fortune for a country man like him.

Although Chu Zhenyu was disappointed, he couldn't force him to go up the mountain. In the end, he could only watch Ren Jingxiao leave in disappointment.

Ren Jingxiao successfully sent Chu Zhenyu away and quickly put the lunch box in his arms.

After the autumn harvest, the weather was getting colder day by day, and he was afraid that the vegetables would be cold by the time he got home.

Ren Jingxiao pedaled very fast, complaining to Chu Zhenyu for wasting his time while wondering what Xia Xia was doing at home.

Not long after Ren Jingxiao left Ningxia, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Ningxia didn't open the door. Dapao jumped onto the courtyard wall and roared at the person outside.

"Ning Zhiqing, it's me, Ye Qianqian. I've been here for so long, and I haven't come to visit yet."

"We are all educated youth. There are many things in the brigade that I don't know, so I want to ask you about them."

Ye Qianqian was kicked by Ren Jingxiao that day and was in pain for several days.

But the more she faced setbacks, the braver she became. The more Ren Jingxiao ignored others and his heart and eyes were filled with his wife, the more unwilling she became. Why couldn't that person be her?

How happy she would be if he treated others like this for her. The more she thought about it, the more attractive she felt such a man was.

She heard people at the educated youth site chatting and saying that they saw him go to town, and he must have gone to buy delicious food for his wife again.

She was not ignorant. Even though he always wrapped his things tightly every time he came back, she could tell from the shape printed in the bundle that it was something canned.

Things like that are either malted milk or milk powder, or canned fruit and meat. Other things don't have such packaging.

She had also smelled the sweet aroma of snacks, and it was not difficult to imagine what kind of life this woman was leading at home. Wasn't it just about getting pregnant? She could get pregnant.

She knew that Ren Jingxiao had a very bad impression of her, and wondered if someone had told him anything.

She couldn't think of anyone else, so this woman must be narrow-minded.

Knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle. She took advantage of Ren Jingxiao's absence and, despite the pain in her body, hurried over.

"If you want to know what's happening in the brigade, go find the brigade leader." Ning Xia thought for a few seconds after hearing Ye Qianqian's voice, and then realized who she was.

"Ning Zhiqing, this Black Mountain Brigade is quite unfriendly to us educated youth. I just wanted to ask if there is any misunderstanding?"

"I couldn't find anyone else. I thought since we're all educated youth and all female, it would be more convenient."

Ye Qianqian understood that Ningxia did not welcome her. Did she know something?

Impossible! What man would dare to tell his wife about this? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

"Ye Zhiqing, I didn't expose you because I wanted to save your face. You confessed your feelings to my man, and then you came to me pretending nothing happened. What's wrong? Do you think I'm easy to talk to?"

Ningxia didn't intend to play around with this person. She definitely had no good intentions in coming here.

Ren Jingxiao is not at home and she is pregnant. If a conflict occurs after opening the door, who will be held responsible?

"Ning Zhiqing, who told you this? You must have misunderstood. It's not true. How could I possibly confess my feelings to Comrade Ren?"

Ye Qianqian was shocked. How did she know this? Who else knew this? If anyone else knew this, her reputation would be ruined.

Ren Jingxiao is married now, so even if they want to be together, they have to divorce Ningxia first.

"Cannon..." Ningxia was annoyed and directly called out to Cannon who was guarding the courtyard wall.

The cannon received the order and rushed out, wanting to bite anyone it saw.

Ye Qianqian was so frightened that she didn't care about anything else and turned around and ran towards the educated youth camp.

Isn't this tiger Ren Jingxiao's? How come this woman can command it?

"Cannon is back." It's just a scare tactic, but it's not worth doing anything serious to anyone.

If she really hurt someone, she could find an opportunity to blackmail them later.

Ningxia knew at a glance that Ye Qianqian had not given up on Ren Jingxiao. It seemed that the beating was not light enough. Was she trying to plot against her?
