Li Mingchen had originally thought that Yunbei would be lucky to have just one ginseng root. After all, it was something you couldn't find easily. But he hadn't expected her to actually have three.
Sure enough, some people are favored by God. He wandered the mountain for days without even finding a ginseng leaf. Then look at others, who can produce several at once.
This is really like comparing yourself with others, it will make you angry.
Yunbei had no idea that Li Mingchen was secretly criticizing her. After she finished brewing the herbs, she prepared to make lunch.
Since she hadn't finished the pheasant and rabbit from last night, she decided to have rice and some stir-fried vegetables for lunch.
After dinner, Yunbei went back to his room to rest.
Little did they know that the Li family was quarreling at the moment. The reason was that Li's father went back to get money and saw his eldest nephew, who looked calm and at ease, standing by the old lady with a filial and sensible look.
Thinking of what his son said, Father Li couldn't help but ask, "Mingxuan, didn't you go there with Mingchen? Why are you back? Where's Mingchen?"
"My brother said he wouldn't come back until he could find ginseng. No matter how I tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen, so I had no choice but to come back on my own."
"Really?" Father Li looked at him with a mocking expression. If his son hadn't told him the truth in advance, he might have believed his story.
In the past, he had always thought that Li Mingxuan was a good person and had planned to support him in the future. But now he realized that he was actually a jackal who would eat people without leaving any bones.
Even at this time, he could still lie without blinking an eye. He didn't even mention Mingchen's accident.
"Brother, what do you mean? Are you blaming Mingxuan for coming back by himself without waiting for Mingchen?" Li Laoer was naturally unhappy when he heard his elder brother talking about his son, and accused him with an unhappy face.
"Isn't it? They went out together, so they should come back together. Otherwise, what if something happens?"
When Li Mingxuan heard his uncle mention the word "accident," his eyes flickered slightly. However, he quickly recovered, looking calm and saying with a smile, "Uncle, you're overthinking it. Brother Mingchen is always careful in his work, so how could something go wrong?"
"Am I overthinking it?" Boss Li's face was very grim. He looked at Li Mingxuan coldly and said, "Some people really only know a person's true heart."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
He was really afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to help but tell others what he had done.
He didn't want his mother to know that her beloved grandson had been injured and even nearly died, all thanks to her other grandson.
He knew his mother didn't want to see brothers quarreling with each other, so he decided to hold back his anger for the time being.
However, he wanted to leave, but Li Laoer was not happy. He felt that what Li Laoda had just said had a hidden meaning.
So, he grabbed Boss Li's sleeve and said, "Brother, please explain clearly. Who knows a person's face but not his heart?"
"What do you think?" Boss Li coldly pulled out his sleeves and said to his mother on the hospital bed, "Mom, Huihui and I have something to go out for. If everything goes well, we'll be back tomorrow. While my husband and I are away, let my second brother and his family take good care of you."
"Okay, go and do your own thing. Your second brother and his family will take good care of me." The old lady waved her hand, signaling her son not to worry about her.
She didn't want to think too much about what her son had just said, nor did she dare to think too much about it.
Mr. Li took the money and went straight back to the hospital. He was very angry at home, but when he saw his son and wife, the anger immediately dissipated.
He suddenly felt that it wasn't worth getting angry with those people. Now that he knew what kind of people they were, he should just stay away from them.
Li's mother noticed her husband's mood was not right and asked worriedly, "Honey, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
"It's okay. I just had a few arguments with my second brother."
After hearing this, Li's mother didn't say anything else. It was inevitable for two brothers to quarrel. Especially now that the old lady was ill, the quarrels became more frequent as they fought for resources.
Li Mingchen guessed something, but he was sensible enough not to ask anything because he knew that even if he asked, the old man would not tell him.
"Did you get the money?"
"I got it. I plan to go find Comrade Yunbei early tomorrow morning."
"No need to look for her. I've already asked, and she's coming to work tomorrow. We can treat her to a meal and give it to her directly."
"Alright."
In a blink of an eye, it was the next day. Yunbei's vacation was over, and it was time to go back to work.
After breakfast, she and Si Nanzhao left the house together, one to the army and the other to the hospital.
As soon as he arrived at the hospital, Yunbei saw someone standing in his own clinic. He saw that it was Li Mingchen's mother.
Seeing Yunbei, Mother Li smiled and said, "Doctor Yun, Mingchen's father and I would like to treat you to lunch at noon."
Yunbei knew that they were planning to take ginseng, so he agreed immediately.
The busy time passed quickly. After seeing the last patient, Yunbei walked out of the clinic. Li's mother was already waiting in the corridor. Seeing Yunbei, she smiled and said, "Doctor Yun, let's go over now. Mingchen's father is already waiting at the state-owned hotel."
"Okay, I'll take the bag." Yunbei nodded and put the bag he brought in the morning on his back.
For convenience, she had already taken out three ginsengs from the space, put them in a box, and then put them in her bag.
Seeing Yunbei carrying the bag, the smile in Li's mother's eyes became even more intense.
When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, Mr. Li was already waiting in the private room and had ordered the dishes.
As soon as Yunbei sat down, he took out the money, a total of 9,000 yuan, and handed it to Yunbei, saying, "Doctor Yun, this is the price of the three ginsengs. I specifically asked around, and the price of ginseng over 50 years old is about this."
"Okay, I'll take the money. Here are the ginseng, take them." Yunbei took out the ginseng from the bag and handed it to Father Li.
Father Li opened the box and took a look. After making sure that there was no problem, he put the box into his handbag.
After finishing their business, the three of them happily had a meal. When they parted ways, Yunbei gave the medicinal tea to Li's mother. They had left in such a hurry yesterday that they had forgotten to pack it.
After getting the ginseng, the three members of the Li family did not stay long and went straight to the discharge procedures.
Seeing Li Mingchen coming back, Li Mingxuan felt a little guilty. But he was more filled with hatred, hating why Li Mingchen didn't die.
However, what made him hate Li Mingchen even more was that not only was he not dead, but he actually found ginseng.
Seeing his grandmother's happy expression, Li Mingxuan couldn't help but feel jealous.
When he learned that Li Mingchen was not dead because someone saved him, he immediately hated the person who saved him and decided to take revenge on him.
So he secretly began to look for someone to find out who saved Li Mingchen.
Yunbei didn't know that his good intentions in saving people had gotten him into trouble.
