The mayor's doorman said impatiently, "Who told you to come so late? The old mayor couldn't stand waiting for you. Now he's better. You can go now."
Yu Jiankang frowned, he didn't expect them to be so unlucky.
Doctor Liu sighed: "Never mind, it's okay, I'll take you to see my old brother first."
As they left the mayor's house, Liu Lai Di was seen off by the mayor's family. "Comrade Liu, if it weren't for your ginseng, our Lao He would be dead. This is a small thank you gift for you. Don't worry, when our Lao He gets better, he will definitely reward you handsomely."
Liu Lai Di smiled happily as she took the basket of goodies given by the He family. "This is all I deserve. You are so polite. I also heard that the old mayor needed this urgently. It's just a coincidence that we just found it yesterday."
Liu Lai Di happily took the basket and walked towards her parents' home. She didn't want to take these good things back to Old Yu's family to see them. Of course, good things should be given to her family.
In addition to being unable to tolerate Old Lady Yu's favoritism towards the third wife, Liu Lai Di also stayed in Old Lady Yu's family because she wanted to prevent her from subsidizing her parents' home, which made her feel ashamed every time she returned to her parents' home.
This time she can finally return to her parents' home with her head held high. Liu Lai Di's parents' home is also in Hongyue Production Team, but they are in Hongyue Production Team 4, while Lao Yu's family is in Team 5.
But it was still close, so the people from Team 4 were surprised to see her coming back with a basket of things. "Oh, Liu Jia Sanni, you're bringing good things back to your parents' home this time. You've made it big."
Liu Lai Di waved her hands pretentiously: "Hey, I heard that my brother's blind date was successful, so I brought something back to celebrate for him."
One woman said exaggeratedly: "Oh, it turns out that the daughter raised by the Liu family is filial. Even after getting married, she still thinks about her parents' home."
"The Liu family is truly blessed. All three of their daughters have married so well."
"It seems that I have wronged Sanni before. How can this child not remember her parents' family when she got something good?"
Liu Lai Di finally felt proud. It was all because of the stingy old lady Yu who held on to their income and didn't give them any.
Otherwise, she would not dare to go back to her parents' home. She knocked on the door with the basket in her hand and said, "Mom, I'm back. Please open the door for me."
A fierce voice rang out: "Why did you come back? You always come back with nothing. I really raised you for nothing. Go back!"
Liu Lai Di's mouth twitched. "Mom, I brought some good stuff this time. If you don't open the door for me, I'll take it back to Old Yu's house."
Sure enough, the door opened soon, and a sturdy middle-aged woman came out with glaring eyes: "Let me see what good things you brought. If you dare to lie to me, you will never come back to this house again!"
After saying that, she snatched Liu Lai Di's basket and opened it. Her eyes lit up and her face changed drastically. She quickly pulled Liu Lai Di in, closed the door and took her directly to the room.
Liu Lai Di's mother, Cao Shunfen, beamed. "Sanni, you're such a good daughter to me. I knew you'd always been thinking about your family. You finally managed to get something out of that unlucky Yu family. But it's not right. Where did they get these good things?"
Liu Lai Di rolled her eyes. "How could my in-laws have such a good thing? And how could my parents-in-law possibly give me even a grain of rice?"
Cao Shunfen took out a can of malted milk and said, "Why don't you tell me where you got it? Oh dear, how much does this stuff cost?"
Liu Lai Di smiled proudly and told her mother about her recent events.
Cao Shunfen was skeptical, suspecting she was exaggerating. "Is your daughter really that amazing?"
Liu Lai Di pointed at the basket and said, "Mom, do you think I have the ability to get these rare things? And just wait, our Jian'an will be able to go to the town to work soon."
On the other hand, Doctor Liu and Yu Jiankang were not discouraged. After all, there was no shortage of people who needed the ginseng. However, if they gave it to the mayor, they would most likely be arranged to work as temporary workers in the town at least.
Yu Jiankang knew that Doctor Liu was thinking of them, but he was now preparing to start a side business in the village, and what he needed most was funds.
The two came to a pharmacy, which was the only pharmacy in the town. When they entered the door of the pharmacy, they saw a tattered wooden sign hanging above the door with the words "Commune Pharmacy" written in black letters on it.
There was a simple wooden counter at the door. Behind the counter, an old man was talking to a young man. Doctor Liu walked in and greeted him: "Old Li, are you free now?"
The old man waved to him when he heard it: "I was just talking about you. This young man wants what you have in your hand."
Yu Jiankang noticed that the young man was still holding tightly to a little boy who was struggling to run away.
He only said to the little boy: "Your grandfather has been in poor health recently. If you make trouble again, you won't be able to see him again."
The struggling little boy looked vicious after hearing this: "Impossible, Grandpa is in good health, you are trying to trick me back."
The young man sighed: "How could I joke with you about my own father's body, Ah Mo, this time it's serious. Your grandfather found out that you were missing and was so angry that he lay in bed."
