Chapter 52 Ginseng Soup



"Okay, Dad will start recruiting people tomorrow." Since the old family needs to finish the well fallowing quickly, let's recruit a lot of people.

"Old man, didn't you see that there were new people in the house?" Qin Lanlan was so angry at Chen Mo. His daughter and granddaughter were so old that he couldn't even see them standing in the house. Was he blind?

"Who is it? Are there guests coming to our house?" Chen Mo was talking to Li Yun about something important when he was interrupted by the old woman and was very unhappy.

"Dad, look back and see who it is?" Li Yun couldn't bear it any longer. If he continued like this, his father-in-law would probably be punished by his mother-in-law to kneel on the washboard tonight.

Chen Mo heard the old lady say the same thing and turned around to see, ah! It turned out to be his daughter and granddaughter who had returned. No wonder the old woman looked unhappy that he hadn't seen them.

"Xiaohua, come here to grandpa." Chen Mo stretched out his arms and waited for Xiaohua to come over.

Xiaohua looked at her grandfather and walked over slowly.

Chen Mo held Xiaohua and said to Chen Mei: "Mei'er, why didn't you inform me when you came back?" Chen Mo owed his daughter Chen Mei. If he had not been forced to do so, he would not have married Chen Mei off in such a hurry.

"Dad, I just came back not long ago. I knew you were busy, so I didn't ask mom to call you back." Chen Mei was very happy to see how happy her father was just now. She hadn't seen her father happy since her brother left.

When her eldest brother left, she wanted to move back home to take care of her parents for a while, but her husband and parents-in-law disagreed. They said, "If I come back, who will do the housework? Who will cook for the family? If I must come back, I will divorce her."

For the sake of her daughter Xiaohua, she had to stay away from returning. She was always worried about her parents and worried that her sister-in-law would not be able to get over the loss of her eldest brother.

I am also worried that my eldest sister-in-law will remarry because she doesn’t have an eldest brother. What will happen to my three nephews and nieces?

Today I finally begged my husband and parents-in-law to come back. Before they came back, they finished all the things to do at home, so that's why they came home so late.

Now seeing my sister-in-law's attitude towards my parents and seeing my father's happy look, I can finally put down the heavy stone in my heart.

"You don't have to go back today, right?" Chen Mo looked at the sky outside. It was already the evening hour. If he wanted to go back, he could only finish his meal quickly and then send the mother and daughter back.

"Dad, no need. We can go back tomorrow." Chen Mei knew what her father was thinking. If she wanted to go back, she would have gone back long ago. It was impossible for her to let her elderly father send her back.

"Dad, Mom, aunt, Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao and Xiaohua are having dinner." Li Yun interrupted the conversation between father and daughter at the right time.

"Yun'er, why hasn't your savior come over yet?

Let's wait a little longer." Qin Lanlan looked at the sky outside, wondering why Yun'er's savior hadn't come yet.

"Mom, maybe he won't come. Let's eat. No need to wait for him." Li Yun also looked at the sky. It was already the evening hour. If he was coming, he would have come a long time ago.

"From the old family, what savior?" Chen Mo was confused. He didn't know who the savior they were talking about was. Could it be that there were guests coming to his house for dinner?

"Old man, have you forgotten that Yun'er was rescued by a man in the mountains?

Yun'er invited that man to dinner today." Qin Lanlan didn't even wait for Yun'er to say anything before she told Chen Mo.

"Oh, how could I forget about this? Since our savior is coming to dinner, let's wait a little longer. Maybe he was delayed on the way." Chen Mo was very grateful to the man for saving his daughter-in-law. Now that he was coming to dinner, why wouldn't he wait for him?

Everyone waited for another half a minute, but Shangguan Feiyun still didn't come. Li Yun was furious and cursed his ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

At this time, Shangguan Feiyun, who was drunk at home, sneezed twice in a daze, and for some reason fell asleep again.

"Dad, Mom, and aunt, let's eat. Maybe it's too late, and he doesn't dare to walk in the mountains alone, so he didn't come. Let's eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold and won't taste good." After cursing Shangguan Feiyun in his heart, Li Yun asked everyone to eat.

"Yun'er, that young man lives in the deep mountains?" It was the first time Chen Mo heard someone say that someone dared to live in the deep mountains.

"Yes! That's why he rushed to save me as soon as possible." Li Yun didn't want to hear Shangguan Feiyun. It was because of him that he had been hungry for such a long time.

"In that case, let's eat." Qin Lanlan took the lead to serve the soup.

Li Yun filled soup for everyone and asked everyone to start eating.

Because a ginseng root was added to the soup, they felt warm after drinking it and their fatigue was relieved a lot.

"Hey, old man, what kind of soup is this? How do I drink it? Today's fatigue has disappeared a lot. I don't feel that tired anymore." Chen Mo felt much better and didn't feel tired anymore.

"Dad, I put a several-decade-old ginseng in the soup. Eating it can replenish blood, replenish vitality and relieve fatigue." Li Yun had never thought of hiding the fact that ginseng was put in the soup.

“What, a ginseng that’s been there for decades?

How much does that cost?

"Old man, why did you waste money to buy such expensive ginseng?" Chen Mo couldn't believe it. He had just eaten ginseng, and it was several decades old. How much money did that cost?

Qin Lanlan and Chen Mei were also stunned. How could they drink such expensive soup?

They didn't know the price of ginseng, but they heard from others that only wealthy families could afford it. Didn't they hear that ginseng could even save lives?

You can imagine how much silver it costs. Now I heard that they drank it, which is equivalent to drinking silver into their stomachs, making them feel guilty.

"Dad, this ginseng doesn't cost any money. I dug it from the mountains. I sold the good ginseng today, and this one is the inferior one left. It's not worth much money at all.
