When Sun saw that Ganli was not only not troubled, but also wanted to sell the prescription to the Zhao family at a high price, she was dumbfounded.
Zhao was deeply moved, and Gan Quan and Gan Qiao also looked at Gan Li with some emotion.
The elderly couple from the Gan family became anxious upon hearing this.
“How could you sell the recipe to them? You’re not…”
“Father,” Gan Li interrupted him, saying, “Don’t worry about it. Just listen to me, it won’t be wrong.”
Old Man Gan was somewhat bewildered by the sly glint in his daughter's eyes, but considering how calculating she had been in her words and actions lately, he suppressed his anxiety and refrained from further persuasion.
Everyone in the Gan family was worried, except for Gan Mingyi, who knew his sister's plan and couldn't wait to drive the oxcart to town to tell Chen Danian the 'good news'.
Unfortunately, it was already late and there was no moonlight, so we couldn't continue our journey and had to wait another night.
However, at least they had a plan, and everyone felt a little relieved. They agreed to get up early the next morning to pick up Gan Mingli from town before dispersing to prepare for rest.
Gan Li took Gan Tian back to their small, dilapidated courtyard. Gan Mingyi was worried and personally escorted them home before preparing to go back himself.
Ganli was a little worried and added another instruction:
"Second brother, before eldest brother returns, don't tell anyone about what happened in the county. It's best not to even mention our trip to the county."
Gan Li had given them this instruction before they left for the county. Now that they're back, can't she say anything?
Gan Mingyi was completely bewildered by her actions, but in his heart, whatever his sister said was right, so he nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!"
After saying that, he turned and walked home.
After Gan Mingli was arrested, the Gan family, except for Sun and Gan Lin, were very worried and lived in fear for two days. Now that Gan Li has returned and said that she will go to negotiate with Zhao Yuanwai tomorrow, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief and go to rest early.
Gan Mingyi tiptoed into the room, quickly washed up, and went into his own room. He climbed into bed in the dark, and as soon as he lay down, a pair of large hands reached out to his side, and his lips pressed against his.
Sun, who was lying in bed pretending to be asleep, couldn't help but frown.
She used to think Gan Mingyi was pretty good, that he was very strong.
But ever since that last time... Looking at this man now, she only felt that he was rude and disgusted, and she was afraid of being discovered, so she didn't dare to push him away.
She tried to distract Gan Mingyi by talking about something, so she asked him about his trip with Gan Li.
"You've been gone for two days. What have you been doing?"
Gan Mingyi jolted awake, suddenly remembering his sister's instructions, and mumbled, "It's nothing, I just went to visit a relative."
"I've been married into your family for so many years, how come I didn't know you had such a distant relative?"
Sun snorted coldly: "You're not telling the truth, are you? What important thing is it that I can't even tell you? I'm your wife!"
Gan Mingyi was getting impatient. Although his hands were still roaming over her body, he had already raised his head and stared at her as he asked:
What exactly do you want to know?
Mrs. Sun breathed a sigh of relief, but said aloud:
"I just feel that your shrewd girl would really be willing to sell such a money-making secret. Does she have other plans?"
"What are your plans? My older brother has been arrested, I can't just stand by and watch my younger sister die, can I? Forget it, let's go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow!"
Gan Mingyi completely lost interest, turned his back to her, and closed his eyes.
The rough, large hand left her body, and Mrs. Sun breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt something was amiss when she thought about it.
But despite her deep thought, she couldn't figure out what was wrong, and could only temporarily accept the reason given by Gan Mingyi.
That's right. No matter how capable that little bitch is, she's just a village girl like me. How could she possibly outmaneuver Master Zhao?
Heh, let's see what she'll do with her daughter once the secret recipe is gone. Oh, and she needs to find a way to spend some of the money from selling the recipe…
...
Just as dawn was breaking, Gan Li brought Gan Tian to the old house, handed Gan Tian over to Old Madam Gan, and then she and Gan Mingyi drove the oxcart to town.
Upon arriving in town, the oxcart stopped directly in front of the Chen family's gate.
Gan Mingyi stepped forward and banged on the door a few times. Immediately, a burst of angry curses came from inside: "Who is it! Ringing a death knell this early in the morning!"
The door creaked open, and Chen Danian appeared in the doorway, still sleepy-eyed, muttering under his breath, "Which blind fool..."
Upon seeing that it was Gan Li and Gan Mingyi, Chen Danian felt as if someone had grabbed him by the throat, and he swallowed back the rest of his words, asking in horror, "You... why are you here?"
Gan Li looked at him with a half-smile, her voice completely flat: "Don't you know why we're here? Release my elder brother, and I'll give you the prescription."
Chen Danian was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with ecstatic joy: "Really? You're really willing to give me the prescription?"
“Of course it’s true,” Gan Li said with a slight smile. “However, I have one condition.”
Upon hearing the word "conditions," Chen Danian recalled some unpleasant memories, and the smile on his face instantly froze.
But he simply couldn't resist the temptation of the prescription... Knowing that Gan Mingli was still in their hands, Liang Ganli didn't dare to play any tricks, so he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement:
"I'll take you there!"
Master Zhao had already gotten up. When he heard that Chen Danian had come to the Zhao residence so early, he frowned and looked somewhat disgusted.
