Chu Zhenyu didn't expect that Ren Jingxiao thought that their Chu family came for those medicinal herbs. He looked skeptical, but looking at his unhappy expression, it didn't seem like he was faking it.
"I didn't come here for those ginseng roots." Chu Zhenyu looked at Ren Jingxiao's face, not missing a single detail.
Although wild ginseng is rare, the Chu family has accumulated a lot of wealth for generations, so how could they be short of just a few pieces of wild ginseng?
"Then what are you doing this for?" Ren Jingxiao frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about. He looked at Chu Zhenyu as if he wanted to tear him apart.
Chu Zhenyu shrank behind the two men. He now knew that Ren Jingxiao probably hadn't discovered the books yet, so that would be easy.
"Brother Ren, do you know that there is a tree in the house you live in now?" Chu Zhenyu asked tentatively.
"How did you know?" Ren Jingxiao was only confused and not nervous at all.
"Our Chu family left a few boxes of gold and silver there. You dug them up, didn't you? We only want those. If you hand them over to us, we can get whatever you want."
Chu Zhenyu felt something was wrong. Why didn't his expression change at all, as if he didn't know anything about those things.
"What's this? You're not after my money, are you? I've made a lot of money over the years thanks to you, but it's a mutually agreed-upon transaction, so you won't suffer any loss. Many things wouldn't be this price if you went to a bigger place. Are you trying to negotiate with me?"
Ren Jingxiao sneered and pretended to be very serious.
Chu Zhenyu felt something was wrong and didn't want to hide anymore, so he hurried out from behind the two men.
"Brother Ren, don't pretend with me. Didn't you take the thing under the tree?" Chu Zhenyu was very excited. If Ren Jingxiao's face wasn't so ugly, he would have wanted to go up and grab his hand.
"What is it? I didn't take it. You made up some nonsense about a few boxes of things. Aren't you just asking me to compensate you? Don't even think about it." Ren Jingxiao's dissatisfaction with him was genuine.
Chu Zhenyu no longer had any doubts. Those boxes of things were really not taken by Ren Jingxiao. He still thought that he wanted his herbs and money. He knew who he was over the years.
Thinking back to their first meeting, he was selling medicinal herbs in a herbal medicine shop under the supply and marketing cooperative. Heilongjiang Province is backed by mountains, and there are not only various wild vegetables but also many medicinal herbs.
A purchasing point was set up here. In the past, many mountain people had wild vegetables and medicinal herbs, and they would come to buy them if they dug them up and couldn’t tell the difference.
The people who do this in the supply and marketing cooperatives know much more than them. Sometimes they collect some good medicinal herbs as wild vegetables and make a lot of money from them.
When Chu Zhenyu came here, he also thought about going up the mountain, but the mountains here were too scary. In addition, several people who came with him went and never came back, so he gave up.
He had originally planned to cooperate with the people from the supply and marketing cooperative who were purchasing the products. It was on that day that he met Ren Jingxiao.
He obviously knew about medicinal herbs, and those herbs were all prepared. Those who wanted to buy them were unwilling to pay a high price. He saw that those people did not give in at all, and in the end he would rather not sell them than let those people succeed.
Chu Zhenyu had his eyes on Ren Jingxiao at that time. Instead of cooperating with those who acquired the company and taking another 10% off from them, he would make more profit if he bought the company directly from the mountain people.
When he found Ren Jingxiao, he didn't care that he was a liar and just started working with him. He was not a liar. If he had it, it was, and if he didn't, it wasn't. They worked together for many years.
Over the years, he has stood out among the younger generations in the family by relying on the medicinal herbs he purchased here.
During that time, when the family needed the thousand-year-old ginseng, it was Ren Jingxiao who helped. At that time, except for his grandfather, everyone else in the family looked up to him.
In his mind, Ren Jingxiao had always been a man of courage and resourcefulness, without ulterior motives, and always speaking his mind. Even if he asked for something excessive, he would give it to him if he had it, and would never lie to him.
He used to be like a lone wolf, until he met someone he liked, and then he started to have some human aura.
He felt that he would not lie to him. If those things were really in his hands, with his stubborn personality, he would admit it.
His thinking is no different from those of wild beasts. If someone else wants something he likes, they will duel.
The winner is the king. He is used to solving problems with force. As for the minds of human beings, he doesn't understand them.
"Brother Ren, I really don't want your money and those things. Have you forgotten? Many of them were given to you by me." Chu Zhenyu suddenly felt as if someone had sucked the air out of him.
"To be honest, what my family was looking for were some ancient books. They were left by our ancestors, but they were accidentally lost. We finally found them hidden in a few boxes, but they just disappeared."
"It's under the tree next to the house you bought, so it's understandable that our family suspects you." Chu Zhenyu looked at Ren Jingxiao and he had nothing to hide. He was really sure that Ren Jingxiao did not take that thing.
Ren Jingxiao sneered in his heart when he heard his words. If he hadn't checked, he would have really believed that it was his Chu family's thing.
It was clearly passed down from a family whose ancestor was the head of the Imperial Hospital.
The Chu family was determined to get those things, and even resorted to some means to demote those people.
They said they had overseas connections, but in the end, no one knew whether any of the family members were still alive.
And now Chu Zhenyu shamelessly says that those books were left by their ancestors. Isn’t he afraid of biting his tongue or that his ancestors will appear in their dreams?
"I didn't see any of your books. No wonder the tree looked like it had been dug up when I moved in. My wife said it was a good tree and could be used to make a lot of furniture. Nowadays, weddings require dozens of legs. I thought someone had taken advantage of my tree, but it turned out to be you. If you don't believe me, go ahead and dig it up again. Anyway, I didn't take anything from your house."
Whether he believed it or not, Ren Jingxiao played the scene to the fullest. Chu Zhenyu thought that Ren Jingxiao, who was inflexible, had changed the moment he got a wife.
Whatever he wants to do now, it is easy to hide it from everyone except Xia Xia.
Chu Zhenyu was not thinking about the tree at all. Their people had gone to dig it several times but found nothing. He was now wondering if it wasn't Ren Jingxiao, who else could it be?
He thought about the other families that had grudges against their Chu family, as well as the medical families that were not as powerful as their Chu family but should not be underestimated, and he was at a loss for a moment.
"Brother Ren, we misunderstood you. Don't worry, I'll call those people back right away. If you have any more herbs, please come to me!"
Chu Zhenyu didn't have time to think about anything else. He looked at Ren Jingxiao, who looked annoyed, and spoke in a gentle voice.
He knew that Ren Jingxiao had been asking about medicinal seeds since he came back from Beijing. He must still want to grow medicinal herbs, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity for cooperation.
