Chapter 161: Father and Son's Feud
"Didn't you want top-quality medicinal herbs? I had no choice but to bring them to you. I brought them over for you to check first. If you like them, you can keep them; if not, that's fine too. I know you have very high standards for medicinal herbs, and I'm trying my best to provide you with the best."
Ye Rufeng put the astragalus in his hand into the bag, his expression stern and resolute. "This astragalus is substandard, I won't accept it. Keep the rest."
Ye Rufeng is very principled, and Boss Yang knows him well. Fearing that Ye Rufeng might misunderstand, he explained, "We don't have any herbs that have been fumigated with sulfur, but they don't look very good. As you know, these herbs are particularly difficult to store."
Mr. Yang said, "Also, our herbal medicine shop is temporarily short of two of the herbs on this list. We're out of strychnine seeds right now, and we don't have enough centipedes, so it might take a while."
"It's alright, let's settle these first."
Ru Feng didn't like the astragalus leaves that had been fumigated with sulfur, and with the addition of strychnine seeds and centipedes, he was missing a total of three medicinal materials.
After settling the bill for the medicine with Mr. Yang, he left.
After checking the supply list, Bai Zhi asked Ye Rufeng, "Grandpa, what about these herbs? You've always had Mr. Yang as your supplier. Do you have the contact information for other herbal medicine merchants?"
"No."
Ye Rufeng said, "I'll go to the herbal medicine company later and buy some from there first. Boss Yang will supply the goods in a couple of days."
"good."
Bai Zhi and Zhou Lin started stocking the medicine cabinet, and Lu Ye also took on the physical labor.
The three of them worked all afternoon and put all the medicinal herbs into the medicine cabinet.
Ye Rufeng was also busy, flipping through the prescription book, his expression sometimes serious and sometimes relaxed, as if he was thinking about something.
After finishing her work, Bai Zhi glanced at her watch and it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.
The meal time I arranged with my uncle was five o'clock.
There's still half an hour left.
She was so busy all day that she didn't even have time to mention to her grandfather that they were going to have dinner with her uncle that evening.
She was also worried, wondering how the old man would feel after she told him.
There shouldn't be any objections, right?
In her past life, although her maternal grandfather and uncle had a strained relationship and her uncle never forgave her, he was very happy to learn of her existence. In this life, it is the same.
But having been given a second chance at life, she will surely play a positive role.
Let the father and son reconcile.
The uncle's hatred and prejudice towards his maternal grandfather, and everything else, stemmed from his maternal grandmother whom he had never met.
"Grandpa, everything's packed." Bai Zhi came over with a smile to report the situation.
Ye Rufeng looked up from the prescription book and gave a faint "hmm," then said, "Let's go home."
“Um…” Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage to speak, “My uncle came around noon. He wanted me to go with Lu Ye to his restaurant to have a meal with my aunt so we could get to know each other.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Rufeng paused slightly.
After a long pause, he replied, "Oh, then you can go ahead."
Bai Zhi knew how strained the relationship between her maternal grandfather and uncle was, so she wisely refrained from making any suggestion to invite her grandfather to go along.
Doing that would be a bit presumptuous.
On the one hand, it's impossible for my maternal grandfather to go.
Even if we went, it would end badly, leaving everyone feeling awkward.
She said, "Let Lu Ye drive you and Zhou Lin home first."
Ye Rufeng waved his hand, lowered his eyes and said, "No need, we can just take a car back. You all go about your business."
After speaking, he stood up and looked at Zhou Lin, "Linlin, let's go home."
He left without looking back, reminding Bai Zhi to lock the door when she left.
Bai Zhi responded, "Okay."
Watching her grandfather's departing figure, Bai Zhi felt a lump in her throat and a sense of unease.
Lu Ye put his arm around her shoulder and asked softly, "What happened? Why didn't Uncle invite Grandpa to come along? Did they have a fight?"
Bai Zhi nodded sullenly, "Yes, there's still a misunderstanding."
"I see." Lu Ye comforted them gently. "It's alright. With you here, I believe the misunderstanding between them will be cleared up soon."
Bai Zhi turned to look at him in surprise, "Why do you say that? You trust me that much?"
Lu Ye's deep eyes sparkled with starlight. "Of course, because you're a little angel."
I believe you will be the link between them, the key to clearing up the misunderstanding.
Lu Ye's words instantly brightened Bai Zhi's gloomy mood.
A smile spread across his face.
Lu Ye is right, she will definitely be a good key.
She said, "It's getting late, let's go."
Lu Ye very consciously sat in the passenger seat and let Bai Zhi drive.
He was indeed unfamiliar with the streets and roads of Bincheng.
Bai Zhi didn't stand on ceremony either, got in the car, started the engine, and drove towards Bincheng Grand Hotel.
It takes less than ten minutes to drive from Derentang to Bincheng Grand Restaurant.
But the rift between them, father and son, was so deep.
In his past life, it wasn't until his maternal grandfather was about to pass away that his uncle finally revealed the resentment in his heart.
Unfortunately, at that time, no matter how my grandfather explained, my uncle wouldn't listen.
Because his hatred ran too deep.
"arrive."
With mixed feelings, Bai Zhi parked the jeep outside the restaurant.
As soon as the two got out of the car, Ye Tiandong came out to greet them.
Ye Tiandong was dressed in an iron-gray suit, his hair neatly combed.
Standing beside him was a modern woman wearing a loose-fitting long dress.
The woman's lower abdomen was slightly protruding, and she looked to be about four or five months pregnant.
She leaned against Ye Tiandong, looking like a little bird seeking shelter.
When she saw Bai Zhi, a barely perceptible look of resentment flashed across the woman's face.
Upon closer inspection, a hint of tension and panic can be seen.
"Xiao Zhi, come here quickly."
Ye Tiandong greeted his niece with excitement and warmth.
As Bai Zhi and Lu Ye approached, he smiled and said, "Xiao Zhi, let me introduce you."
“This is your aunt, Li Li.”
