Chapter 79 Worrying about Gains and Losses

After seeing Mr. Sun off, Zhou Jincong went directly to the state-owned restaurant and packed up many dishes to take back.

Ye Wangshu couldn't help laughing when he saw the food boxes. "Why did you buy so many vegetables? Fortunately, I haven't started cooking yet, otherwise... I won't be able to finish the meal today."

"If you can't finish it, save it for tomorrow. It won't go bad even if you leave it out overnight."

Zhou Jincong carried the food box and went straight into the main room, then laid out the food one by one.

"You've been working hard while I've been away, so I bought these as a reward for you."

Ye Wangshu looked at the table full of his favorite dishes and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Thanks."

"What's the point of saying thank you as a family?" Zhou Jincong laughed awkwardly, then led Ye Wangshu to sit down.

After the meal, Li Xiaoxia did not come back.

Thinking that Zhou Jincong had finally returned, Zhou's mother sent them back to their room early, and she and her younger sister cleaned up the main room.

"Wangshu, what exactly is going on with Mrs. Zhang's matter?"

Zhou Jincong had been thinking about this matter when he was sending Old Sun back to the city, but no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.

Therefore, as soon as the door was closed, Zhou Jincong asked the doubts in his heart.

"It's not a big deal. The first time I made medicine for Sister Zhang, my mother saw that my eldest sister-in-law added something to the medicine pot. Sister Zhang almost..."

Thinking back to that day, Ye Wangshu felt thrilled.

"Luckily, Sister Zhang didn't take the medicine because of her pregnancy reaction. A few days ago, I discussed it with Sister Zhang and decided to test my eldest sister-in-law. I didn't expect...she actually added hawthorn fruit to Sister Zhang's medicine bag."

"Do you think what I did was wrong? But I was afraid that my sister-in-law would find other ways to harm the baby in Sister Zhang's belly. Fortunately, everything went well."

Thinking back on what happened today, Ye Wangshu suddenly felt relieved.

She just didn't believe that Li Xiaoxia could cause any more trouble.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance? Didn't I tell you before I left that you could contact me through Qin Cheng?"

Zhou Jincong sighed softly, his face looking calm, but a hint of sadness rose in his heart.

Even though he had encountered so many problems, his wife didn't think of relying on him.

I didn't even tell myself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jincong felt that Ye Wangshu might not have him in his heart at all, and became worried and anxious.

"By the way, I haven't asked you why you came back so early?"

Ye Wangshu didn't notice anything wrong with Zhou Jincong, and just looked at him with curiosity.

"You can apply for a test halfway through your training, and if you pass the test you can return early."

In response to Ye Wangshu's question, Zhou Jincong answered quickly.

"Wow! Honey, you're so great!"

Ye Wangshu didn't know that Zhou Jincong was in a hurry to come back because he was worried about her. She just thought that her husband was the most powerful person in the world.

"By the way, my leeches are almost ready to be dried. I can start selling them in the next few days. I just don't know if I can sell them."

Ye Wangshu pursed his lips slightly, then immediately regained his confidence.

"It will definitely be sold, don't you think, husband?"

Looking at Ye Wangshu, who was full of fighting spirit, Zhou Jincong nodded and said, "I believe you can do it."

In fact, Ye Wangshu had dried a batch of leeches at the beginning, but because Uncle Song sprinkled salt on them that time, he only collected a few leeches.

So, I waited until now.

The next day, Ye Wangshu started running to the city to ask the herbal medicine store if they bought dried leeches.

Leeches are used as medicine and are extremely effective.

However, most herbal medicine stores are unwilling to accept it, and those that do accept it offer a pitifully low price.

If you calculate carefully, that price is not enough to cover the cost of feed.

After hitting a wall for several days in a row, Ye Wangshu's mood sunk to the bottom.

After a moment of depression, Ye Wangshu was still not discouraged. He mustered up his spirits and went to the largest herbal medicine store in the city.

"Boss, can I ask why you don't accept dried leeches?" Ye Wangshu took out the dried leeches he was carrying and placed them in front of the boss.

In order to better sell the dried leeches, Ye Wangshu carried the largest and best leeches with him.

She simply didn't understand why no one was willing to accept it.

"Girl! Why haven't you given up yet?" The boss looked at the dried leeches in Ye Wangshu's hand and shook his head. "Everyone believes in Western medicine now, and no one patronizes Chinese medicine anymore."

The boss sighed and said, "No matter how good your dried leeches are, if no one buys them, we'll just have to keep them there."

"What the boss said makes sense. I didn't think of that."

Ye Wangshu frowned slightly, and suddenly felt a lot of melancholy in his heart.

Traditional Chinese medicine will only begin to be valued in the next 20 to 30 years. Now, when people talk about traditional Chinese medicine, they think it is feudal superstition.

This is a small place, and there are many rural doctors who treat patients with traditional Chinese medicine.

But everyone still prefers to come to the city to see Western doctors!

"Girl, if you really can't sell it, I'll buy it at a low price. But no one is seeing Chinese medicine practitioners right now, so I really can't pay more."

Seeing Ye Wangshu, a girl, running back and forth in the city, the boss couldn't help but feel a little distressed, so he made a suggestion.

But Ye Wangshu did not intend to give up just like that. In her opinion, traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine complement each other.

If we really have to compare which is better, Ye Wangshu feels from the bottom of his heart that traditional Chinese medicine is better than Western medicine.

"No, thank you for your kindness, boss. I'll think of another way. After all, Chinese medicine... is not bad."

The boss glanced at Ye Wangshu and then sighed.

"You're such a fool, little girl. In the early years... never mind. If you ever change your mind, you can always come find me."
