Ma Liu sighed from the side, "A truckload of people, when they first arrived, they were all bruised and swollen from the cold. They only warmed up after drinking hot water and warming themselves by the stove."

I don't even know who these people are, and they won't let us chat with them privately. This is what Chunzi overheard when the two men who looked like officials talked about going to the island.

Sigh, I wonder what the relationship is between the people here and Haozi, and who this kid is asking for?

"You guys go back first. I'll contact Haozi right away. We can talk about it when we get home."

After Jiang Qiao returned home with her family, she was in a hurry to eat. She had no idea why Song Shutian was so anxious to find her.

Fortunately, the person replied quickly, but Jiang Qiao was surprised when she saw the content.

"Jiang Qiao, someone has offered a high price for your prescription. Will you sell it?"

Jiang Qiao didn't even hesitate before saying, "I won't sell."

After replying with those two words, Jiang Qiao started thinking. She was actually already providing medicine, but it wasn't being produced on a large scale. Why was Song Shutian in such a hurry to find her, especially for something like this? When did this person start doing business?

This isn't like him at all; there might be something she doesn't know about.

He immediately typed a few more words: "Who wants to buy it?"

After receiving the message, Song Shutian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, he didn't want to ask this question, but he had no choice but to.

Seeing that Jiang Qiao was asking, he explained the reason: "Someone took your medicine and found it to be very effective, so they are prepared to pay a high price to buy it. However, they are foreigners, and some people want to earn foreign exchange, so I have to ask for your opinion."

Jiang Qiao read the contents of the call and snorted, "Forget it. I will not sell what our ancestors left behind. This thing may generate more foreign exchange in the future. We can't do something that kills the goose that lays the golden eggs. Let's think long-term. There are many ways to get foreign exchange, not by selling medicine formulas now."

Song Shutian nodded in satisfaction. "That's right, that's what I was thinking too. Let's talk about it when we meet."

When Jiang Qiao came out, Gu Zhengfeng looked at his daughter with a worried expression. His daughter was about to get married, and it would be outrageous if she took on another mission. Ning Hao had been waiting for so many years. He really couldn't bring himself to ask her to postpone it again.

"Honey, are you alright?"

Seeing that Jiang Qiao's expression wasn't good, Gu Zhengfeng felt uneasy.

Jiang Qiao shook her head and sighed, "It's nothing. Someone just offered a high price to buy the prescription I have. Dream on. Let them make it so they can make money off us."

Call me stingy or call me heartless, I'm just not selling."

After understanding the situation, Gu Zhengfeng nodded and said, "You can't sell it. This is fundamental; it will benefit the people in the future. If you sell it, you may seem to make a lot of money, but it's a one-off deal."

If the country needs it, we can contribute, but this is definitely not acceptable. Dad supports your idea.

Jiang Qiao smiled and took Gu Zhengfeng's arm. "I knew you would always support me. Why should I? I really don't care about that little bit of foreign exchange."

Several old men who came over heard this, especially Ma Liu, who almost jumped up and down after hearing about it.

"Tell me, how can some people be so short-sighted? They want to sell the prescription in Qiao'er's hands for a little money?"

What are you good for? What can you do with that little money? Haven't you been bullied enough by foreigners?

During the Eight-Nation Alliance invasion, how many good things did they steal from us? Now they want to take our medicine formulas? They can only dream about it.

No matter how much money they offer, we won't sell. In the future, we'll make our own medicine, sell it to them, and make money off them. That's a permanent business.

"If we sell this, how will Qiao'er treat patients in the future? That thing won't belong to us anymore. If you want to use it, you might even have to get their permission. Why should we?"

Hou Diankui shared the same thought: "That's right, that's how business is done. We've lost our fundamental principle. If we want to use it in the future, we'll have to buy it from others."

Qiao Jie looked at Jiang Qiao with concern, "Girl, will refusing affect you?"

Jiang Qiao shook her head. "Who cares about the impact? I don't want to, and no one can force me. Don't tell me someone will openly try to take it from me. We're talking about reason and the rule of law, right?"

Gu Zhengfeng patted his daughter's shoulder with amusement. "You're right. If it were possible to snatch something, it wouldn't be Xiao Song asking you for help. The higher-ups would definitely have their reasons. Don't worry, it's not like the past. Hurry up and eat. You've been working hard all morning."

"Remember, whatever comes up, postpone it. Your wedding with Haozi is the most important thing. That child has waited so many years; don't delay any longer."

In fact, Gu Zhengfeng was also unwilling to marry off his daughter so soon, but there was no other way. The child's situation was special. The sooner the two children settled down and had families to take care of them, the less their daughter's energy would be diverted to her family, thus reducing the child's risk.

He didn't want to experience the pain of losing a child again. Only they knew how they got through those years. They didn't want their child to be successful; they just wanted him to be safe and healthy.

Jiang Qiao nodded solemnly, "Dad, don't worry. Even if it's raining knives, I won't postpone this. There's no need for that. Besides, the earth will keep turning without me. Will those bad guys stop being caught without me? I know that much."

It's good that her daughter agreed. Besides, Jiang Qiao already knew what was going on. Qiao Jie is already quite old. She can wait, but the old man might not be able to.

Besides, who knows what will happen tomorrow? It's better to do the things in front of us well, put the elderly at ease, and maybe they can live a few more years.

In the following days, aside from visiting patients, Jiang Qiao was genuinely preparing for her wedding.

They bought what they needed to buy and prepared everything they needed to prepare. Soon, the day for their wedding arrived.

Although it was a simple event and not many people were invited, we still managed to have almost ten tables.

Song Shutian and his family arrived as promised today. The ceremony was relatively simple, but the scene was still quite grand and lively. The food was especially delicious, and everyone who came ate until their mouths were greasy. No other family's banquet had ever been as generous as the Gu family's. Everyone who came was satisfied and happy. They had never seen such a well-matched couple.

Jiang Qiao usually dresses very plainly, but today, as a bride, she dressed up a bit and everyone couldn't take their eyes off her. She was so beautiful! Nobody in the surrounding villages had ever seen such a beautiful bride.

Wen Jingwan was the first in their village to be the first, and now another girl is taking on that role.
