Old Madam Shen immediately glared at him, "If this thing belongs to my daughter, would I be willing to let Professor Li cut it? Not even a small piece!"
Shen Zhile, "..."
So, because he was her grandson, she was willing to give him up?
She is indeed a biased old lady!
"Professor Li, you have to take it easy." Old Mrs. Shen reminded again.
Being stared at by her in such a covetous manner, even if Professor Li wanted to get more, he was too embarrassed to do it. In the end, he picked the edge and cut a small piece, then filled the glass bottle with water from the basin, covered it with the lid and prepared to take it back.
Old Mrs. Shen followed behind him and kept chattering, "Professor Li, you said that it would take hundreds or thousands of years for my Tai Sui to grow to this size. You just cut off such a large piece, and you took away a hundred years of its efforts. I don't know when it will grow back. Anyway, I won't be able to see it in this lifetime. You must study it carefully when you go back, and don't use it up all at once. If you cut it a few more times, my Tai Sui will be finished! Oh, my heart, why do I feel so uncomfortable?"
After hearing this, Fubao couldn't stop laughing.
Professor Li felt amused and ashamed at what Mrs. Shen said. He felt as if he had taken advantage of the old lady. He had to assure her, "Don't worry, old lady. I'm just taking it back for testing and studying the ingredients in it. This much is enough. I'll keep it in the laboratory and won't ask you for it again. Don't worry."
Mrs. Shen felt relieved, and smiled shyly, covering her mouth: "Professor Li, you see, I am an old country woman, I have not read much, and I don't have much knowledge. I treat this tiny thing as a grandson. Please don't blame me. You should be careful on your way back. You are welcome to visit us next time. I like intellectuals the most. I can't tell you how happy I am to have you here."
"Haha!" Professor Li laughed. "Okay, next time I'll bring my students to study your sugar cane and watermelon."
"Sugar cane and watermelon? You can study them as you like! Well, I won't keep you here. Walk slowly, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, go and see the old professor off."
Old Mrs. Shen was very polite in her words and even accompanied Professor Li all the way to his doorstep.
Shen Zhiyi and Shen Zhile brought Professor Li to the entrance of the village. As a prospective Huaqing University student, Shen Zhiyi asked him many relevant questions along the way.
After watching him get in the car and leave, the two brothers slowly walked back to the village.
Fu Bao couldn't help laughing when he saw Old Lady Shen adding a ladle of well water to the wooden basin with a distressed look on her face. "Grandma, why did you say that just now? This Ganoderma lucidum is so big, it doesn't matter if the professor takes a little more."
"Shh..." Old Mrs. Shen quickly signaled her to be quiet, then she hugged her and walked to the side, lowering her voice and saying, "Who said it's okay? Nannan, do you know how rare this thing is? The old professor said that it takes hundreds or thousands of years for this thing to grow to this size. Can you imagine how much it can be sold for?"
Fubao said nonchalantly, "We don't lack money anymore."
"So what? Who would complain about having too much money? Grandma was thinking that if I sold the money, I would give it to you as a dowry. Of course, the more dowry you give me, the better. I would feel bad if you gave me even a dime less, so I certainly can't let the old professor take more."
