The second aunt readily gave two red envelopes to Shen Jiaojiao.

How can I not be straightforward?

My aunt-in-law had a good meal today, she must be very happy!

She couldn't help but think that it would be great if Jiaojiao could come and teach her a lesson every day, so that she wouldn't have to show off all day and be annoying just to look at.

"Thank you, Second Auntie. Xu Mo, hurry up and call Second Auntie."

"Hello, second aunt."

The second aunt then looked at Xu Mo carefully. He looked much better than that Zhou Tao!

"Our Jiaojiao is really good at judging. This child has great potential."

The aunt-in-law snorted coldly, very dissatisfied.

No one cares about her now.

Shen Jiaojiao was busy collecting money, so she had no time to waste on people who had nothing to do with her.

"Xu Mo, this is uncle."

"Hello, uncle."

"This is my second uncle."

"Hello, uncle."

"This is my aunt, and this is my uncle."

"This is my cousin's wife, and this is my cousin."

"This is..."

After one round, Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo collected all the red envelopes they could.

Thanks to the huge size of the Shen family, even if some of the less close relatives only gave five yuan in red envelopes, the amounts added up and the net profit from this trip was 1,500 yuan.

Worth it.

The old man has long been impatient.

After all, I'm still thinking about the courtyard house, but Shen Jiaojiao is always asking for red envelopes, and it never stops.

Just as he was about to speak, Shen Jiaojiao spoke up, "Ah, I remembered that a friend of mine came to see me this afternoon, and it's almost too late to make it. Grandpa, uncles, aunts, and mothers, we won't have the banquet today. You guys should eat more. I wish you a pleasant meal. Xu Mo and I will be leaving first!"

Grandpa, happy birthday, and may you live long."

After saying that, he pulled Xu Mo and ran away, not giving the old man a chance to speak.

The old man was still talking when he disappeared.

He was breathing heavily.

The aunt-in-law is trying to make her presence felt.

"Dad, they don't care about you at all. If they really cared about you, they would have given you the courtyard house a long time ago. They are not like Qingqing and Zhou Tao in our family, who always think about you, old man."

The old man was already upset about the Siheyuan incident, and thinking about this made him even angrier.

That's right, not sensible at all.

The second aunt sarcastically said, "Qingqing and Zhou Tao of your family are capable. They take other people's things and give them away. If the old man really lives in the courtyard, then the reputation of being shameless will be established for the old man."

"What do you mean by saying that? Do you want to have a fight?"

"Noise, who's afraid of you!"

The old man was in a very irritable mood.

Today was supposed to be his birthday, but why did he end up spending it in such a miserable way?

With a cold snort, he picked up the thousand-year-old ginseng on the table and went back to the room.

No matter how noisy it is outside, he doesn't want to care at all.

Shen Jiaojiao and her partner left the Shen family's old house and were in a particularly good mood on the way back.

"Xu Mo, do you know why we have to run away early?"

"It's to prevent the eldest master from asking us for the courtyard house."

Shen Jiaojiao pinched the man's face and said, "You are really smart. Yes, the old man knew that you had a courtyard house, so he must have wanted it.

We definitely won’t give it to him, but to save trouble, let’s just leave! I’ve been busy for most of the morning and I’m really tired.”

Shen Jiaojiao sighed, "The intrigues in the wealthy families are no less intense than those in the palace. For such a small amount of benefit, it is common to fight to the point of bloodshed."

Xu Mo held Shen Jiaojiao's hand, rubbed his cold palms, and said, "Don't be unhappy. You don't need to care about others. As long as we are united, that's enough.

Shen Jiaojiao smiled and said, "You don't think I'm unhappy! How is that possible! I, Shen Jiaojiao, will never feel sad because of other people's affairs.

Xu Mo, let me tell you something interesting."

"What?"

"Haha, I replaced the thousand-year-old blood ginseng I gave to the old man with carrots of similar shape."

Xu Mo was horrified, "This will be seen!"

“I don’t know whether you can tell by looking at it or not, but I found that the ingredients in our space seem to have spirits, and the carrots are almost like spirits.

Anyway, the carrot I picked is roughly the same shape as a blood ginseng. My grandfather is nearsighted, so there is a high possibility that he can't see it.

The old man looked down on people so much that he didn't want to give the blood ginseng to him for free.

Let’s go home and stew a pot of blood ginseng. We also need to let our family members taste the flavor of blood ginseng.”

Xu Mo said, "Wouldn't this be too much of a supplement?"

"Haha, are you really afraid of getting pregnant after eating it?"

Xu Mo: “…” Why are you bringing this up again?

When it was dark, Shen Huaqiang carefully took out the blood ginseng.

After opening the lid of the gift box and seeing what was inside, I suddenly realized that this blood ginseng didn’t look that good!

It feels different from what I saw this morning!

The blood ginseng in the morning has a blood-red aura that makes people's eyes bright at first sight.

The blood ginseng at this time is dark, although it is still red, and it always feels weird.

Why does it look so much like the carrots we eat every day?

But then I thought, the people in my family who are experts in ginseng identification said that this is real, so it must not be fake.

Perhaps it was because of the darkness that the spirituality of the blood ginseng was suppressed.

Shen Huaqiang convinced himself in this way.

My mood started to get excited again. I took a pair of scissors, carefully cut off a section of the root and gave it to my aunt at home, asking her to stew blood ginseng and black chicken soup.

The aunt looked at the short roots and fell into deep thought.

This blood ginseng looks really ordinary, very much like a carrot root!

It's really confusing.

Auntie quickly cooked the blood cucumber and black chicken soup.

The old man couldn't wait to take a sip.

"Mr. Shen, how does it taste?" Auntie asked curiously.

"Not bad. After drinking the blood ginseng soup, I feel my eyes are clearer and my spirits are better. Now I don't feel sleepy at all."

Auntie smiled and said, "Then drink more. There's more on the stove. I'll serve you more later."

Shen Huaqiang nodded and drank half the pot of "Blood Ginseng" black chicken soup.

You know what, it’s really useful.

After drinking half a pot of soup, the old man was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep until midnight.

The old man sighed!

The thousand-year-old blood ginseng is indeed amazing. It not only refreshes the mind, but also helps fight hunger.

He still feels full.

In the second half of the night, the old man had diarrhea.

The exhausted old man was still lamenting that the blood ginseng soup he had just drunk had not yet fully taken on its nourishing effect in his body and it was gone just like that!

No, I have to cut another root and make soup tomorrow.
