Chapter Twenty-Three: It Was Your Brother All Along



"Do you want to buy it?" Lin Xiazhu found Bai Junbai's fair face increasingly unpleasant, and her whole demeanor began to radiate impatience.

Bai Junbai's face turned ashen. He snatched the item from her hand, opened it layer by layer, and his pupils dilated in shock.

Thousand-year-old wild ginseng!

He looked down at Lin Xiazhu with surprise, "Kid, where did you find this? Did your family dig it up?"

“…My father passed away a few months ago,” Lin Xiazhu replied with an ambiguous statement.

Bai Junbai, the "Imagination Emperor," immediately envisioned a scene in his mind: a poor father, in order to change his impoverished life, braved dangers to enter the deep mountains and forests in search of the legendary thousand-year-old ginseng.

Unexpectedly, he actually found it, but he paid a heavy price for it... Now, this great father's daughter is trying to sell the ginseng he risked his life for...

"How much are you planning to sell it for?" Bai Junbai asked, casually wrapping up the ginseng and stuffing it into his pocket, as if it were already his.

He absolutely had to take this thousand-year-old ginseng back with him; his grandfather was still waiting to be saved.

Sigh! If it weren't for wanting to see my eldest brother one last time, Grandpa probably wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer. It's a pity that there's been no news of my eldest brother for over ten years; I'm afraid he might have died in an accident.

"How much money are you willing to offer?" Lin Xiazhu asked tentatively, after all, prices now are vastly different from twenty years later, and she wasn't sure how much the other party was willing to offer.

Putting aside his worries, Bai Junbai held up a five.

fifty thousand?

"It feels a bit low." Lin Xiazhu frowned, considering raising the price.

"Fifty thousand, a fixed price. If you agree, I'll pay immediately."

Lin Xiazhu swallowed hard. Rich people, so straightforward.

“Deal,” she said, glancing at the two bodyguards behind Bai Junbai and noticing they were empty-handed. “How can we make a deal if you don’t have any money?”

Bai Junbai took out a card, held it between two fingers, and waved it, "Bank card transfer."

Lin Xiazhu: "..." She doesn't deserve a card now, no, it's more like in rural areas where people basically use passbooks.

She didn't even have a bankbook; she was only eight years old and didn't even have an ID card, so where would she get a bank card?

So even if she has the ability to do some things, she is too timid to do them because of her age, but now is a good opportunity.

“I brought my household registration book. After my dad passed away, my mom suffered a mental breakdown due to the shock. There are no other adults in the family, so I need your help.”

So, Lin Xiazhu rode in Bai Junbai's Santana to the county town. After getting out of the car in front of the bank, Bai Junbai couldn't help but tease her.

"Truly a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, daring to go alone with strangers at such a young age..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xiazhu kicked a large rock by the roadside. The rock weighed at least a hundred pounds, but Lin Xiazhu cracked it with one kick. After grinding it a few more times with her small foot, the large rock shattered into countless small stones.

“My ancestors included an elder with superhuman strength, and I probably inherited that strength. So, in front of me, others are just calves; I can kill them with a single palm.”

Lin Xiazhu waved her hand. "Little brat, if I don't show you my true skills, this spoiled brat will think I'm easy to bully. He's just a frog in a well with no experience."

Don't think she's afraid of three more people than just three of them.

"How old are you this year? It's not about being older or more capable. It's about talent. People without talent can't do it on their own. They can only rely on having more bodyguards."

Bai Junbai, who was already twenty-five years old and still had two bodyguards, was so angry that his lungs felt like they were about to explode.

"If you're so capable, why are you asking me for help? Look at how powerful you are."

Lin Xiazhu was afraid that if she provoked him too much, he would really stop helping her, which would be a huge loss. After all, rich young masters are used to being pampered and are very sensitive.

So they quickly lowered their stance.

"I was just being arrogant. I'm young and ignorant, and I like to talk big and show off. You're a magnanimous person, so please don't take it to heart."

Seeing that the other person's expression had softened, Lin Xiazhu pressed on, "I only have brute strength, I've never been to school, I'm uneducated, and all I can do is show off, unlike you..."

"Since you admitted your mistake and corrected it, I won't hold it against you." Bai Junbai finally felt relieved. He felt that not only could he beat Lin Xiazhu, but he also had many skills that the other party did not have.

For example, he used Lin Xiazhu's household registration book to open a bank account for her, and also helped her find a piece of land in the county town to buy, and transferred the ownership to her.

These are two things that most people cannot do, but he can.

After the matter was settled, Lin Xiazhu was genuinely grateful to Bai Junbai and wanted to treat him to a meal, but he didn't care.

"I have something to do, so I'll be going now." Then he got into his car and left without even asking if Lin Xiazhu needed a ride back to town.

Having a car is truly amazing. Lin Xiazhu, who has been without a car for two lifetimes, deeply understands this. She can only take the afternoon bus back to town.

Despite her calm demeanor, she was actually screaming wildly inside.

Ahhh! Hahahaha!

I spent 50,000 yuan to buy the land, and I still have 400,000 yuan in my account. I withdrew another 50,000 yuan and put it in my bag, planning to deposit it at the credit union in town so that it will be more convenient to use the money in the future. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to have to go to the county town to withdraw the money.

Lin Xiazhu's excitement swelled again with the huge sum of money she had. In a few years, she would have a prime piece of land in the county town, a full 100 square meters. When the government started large-scale development in a few years, she would build a building there, and even if she rented it out, it would bring in a considerable income.

She is still young and her main task is to study. In her previous life, she only graduated from primary school. Although she later studied at night school and obtained a junior college diploma, her level was too poor. She hopes to get into a prestigious university in this life.
