Before they even reached the door, several people hurriedly came out of the clinic. One of them was Yu Miaoyi, who had just entered, and a clinic employee was standing next to her.
Upon seeing Fu Man'er and the others, he pointed at them and shouted, "Madam, it's her!"
The Xu family paused. Xu Genshan and Old Lady Xu exchanged a glance, wondering what had happened.
Yu Miaoyi walked up unsteadily, and only when she got closer did I notice that the corners of her eyes were a little red.
"lady……"

Just as Xu Genshan opened his mouth, Yu Miaoyi said to Old Lady Xu, "Auntie, I heard from Doctor Lin that you have fresh ginseng here?"
She always spoke softly, but now there was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.
Grandma Xu seemed startled by her suddenness and remained silent, but Fu Man'er replied, "Auntie, my family has ginseng."
As she spoke, she gently tugged at her grandmother's hand, and then Old Mrs. Xu said, "Yes, Madam, this old woman has some wild ginseng that I dug up from the mountain."
Just as she left the clinic, someone chased after her. Old Mrs. Xu didn't know what this person wanted, but she always pretended to be calm.
Yu Miaoyi's expression visibly relaxed, and she thought to herself, "Thank goodness, thank goodness."
"Grandma, please come in. We've found a buyer for your wild ginseng," the clinic's clerk said hurriedly.
So, led by the waiter, the Xu family followed Yu Miaoyi to the second floor of the clinic. Unlike the lobby downstairs, which was separated by bamboo curtains, the upstairs was quite elegant.
Even the teacups used for drinking tea were painted with freehand landscape paintings, and the picture of high mountains and flowing water on the large screen caught Xu Genshan's eye a few more times.
Fu Man'er was held in Xu Genshan's arms. The little girl's round eyes kept glancing at the teacup. What should she do? She wanted to drink, but her father didn't seem to want to drink tea.

Doctor Lin came up quickly. "Grandma, are you willing to sell your ginseng now? This lady is waiting for your ginseng to take home for her medicine."
Old Mrs. Xu tightened her grip on the cloth bag. No wonder this lady had asked her so urgently at the door earlier; now she understood.
"Don't worry, ma'am, we won't shortchange you on the price," Yu Miaoyi said, her eyes inadvertently glancing at Fu Man'er, who was sitting obediently. She hadn't expected that the ginseng seller was actually the little girl's family.
“Madam, our mistress is willing to pay 120 taels to buy the largest ginseng in your hand,” Yu Miaoyi gestured, and her maid immediately said.
One hundred and twenty taels? Wasn't it one hundred and five taels just now? Xu Genshan looked up at Doctor Lin, wondering how the price of ginseng had suddenly increased so much.
Doctor Lin seemed to sense Xu Genshan's confusion. "Our clinic charges 105 taels for this ginseng, but this lady urgently needs the medicine, so we've given you a slightly higher price."
"Yes, my child was sick, but is getting better now. He needs some fresh ginseng to nourish his body. It just so happens that Dr. Lin told me about it today. Please sell me this ginseng, madam."
Yu Miaoyi explained further that her child's condition had finally improved. Well-prepared ginseng was easy to buy, but fresh ginseng was scarce. Moreover, Dr. Lin said that although the ginseng was not very old, it was a truly excellent product.
That's why she was so eager and raised the price so much right away.
Old Mrs. Xu glanced at her son, now she was a little undecided. Xu Genshan pondered for a moment and said, "We originally intended to sell this ginseng for money, so if Madam needs it, we can sell it to her."

"But one hundred and twenty taels is a bit too high. Let's go with the price Dr. Lin quoted."
When he said this, both Doctor Lin and Yu Miaoyi were stunned. It was the first time they had ever seen someone who wouldn't make money. Yu Miaoyi even wondered how much they would be willing to pay if they wanted to raise the price.
“If Madam is willing to buy it, this ginseng can be given to her now.” Seeing that she did not speak, Xu Genshan added.
Yu Miaoyi's smile softened a bit. "Of course I'm willing to buy it. I'll give you whatever amount you say, Cui'er." As she spoke, she raised her hand, and the maid behind her quickly placed the money bag on the table next to Xu Genshan.
Grandma Xu hurriedly opened the cloth bag and carefully took out the largest ginseng root from it. "Madam, please take a look."
The money has already been transferred, but they haven't even seen the ginseng yet.
Yu Miaoyi glanced at Doctor Lin, and seeing that he nodded to her, she gestured for Cui'er behind her to go forward and put the ginseng away.
The ginseng had been bought, and Yu Miaoyi was about to get up and go back when Fu Man'er quickly got off Xu Genshan's lap and ran towards Yu Miaoyi.
"Beautiful auntie." She took Yu Miaoyi's hand and put the extra fifteen taels into it. "This ginseng was dug up by Man'er herself. I hope that your child will get better soon after eating it."
Upon hearing that Fu Man'er had dug up the ginseng herself, Yu Miaoyi was quite surprised. "Man'er is so amazing? She can even dig up ginseng."

"Hehe." Fu Man'er chuckled, "It would be amazing if you could cure Auntie's child."
Yu Miaoyi chuckled and surprisingly comforted her, "Man'er is so amazing, the ginseng she dug up will definitely cure her. When your brother gets better, how about we invite Man'er over to play?"
Dr. Lin glanced sideways at the little girl who looked like a dumpling.
“Okay, when my aunt’s brother gets better, he can come to our village. The river water will be so cool then. I’ll take him fishing, and my brothers will take us up the mountain.”
Fu Man'er was very happy to have gained a new friend, even though she hadn't met him yet, she was full of anticipation.
Grandma Xu wanted to go up and pull her granddaughter back. This lady looked like she came from a wealthy family, so her child must have been spoiled. How could she act like a wild monkey in the village?
Unexpectedly, the lady not only agreed, but also made a pinky promise with Fu Man'er.
"Man'er, come here, don't keep Madam from going back." Old Madam Xu said quickly, afraid that her granddaughter would keep talking to her. "Madam, my little granddaughter is naughty and has kept you inconvenienced."
Yu Miaoyi shook her head and looked at Fu Man'er with affection, "I feel a connection with Man'er and I like her very much."
"Man'er, if you miss your aunt, come to the Cao family on East Street to find her."

“Okay, I’ll go visit Auntie again later,” Fu Man’er nodded in agreement.
Just then, Yu Miaoyi's maid came up to tell her that she could leave. After saying goodbye, Yu Miaoyi left with her entourage.
"Dr. Lin, what about the rest of these ginseng?" Xu Genshan asked, holding a cloth bag. He had a few smaller ones left and wondered if Dr. Lin would still accept them.
"Go downstairs, our clinic has already taken them all." Dr. Lin waved his hand, and immediately a staff member came to handle it. "Your family is really lucky today." After saying that, he went off to work.
Xu Genshan felt that he was indeed lucky; the ginseng sold very smoothly.
