Chapter 10 Chen Family
After Li Guoer recovered, she drove to her godfather Chen Mingpeng's house.
Chen Mingpeng is Grandpa Li’s sworn brother, and his family has been in the medicinal materials business for generations.
During that special period, he was falsely accused and sent to the cowshed in Lijia Village.
One summer, during a storm, the cowshed collapsed, trapping Chen Mingpeng underneath and severely injuring him. He was rescued by his grandfather, who gradually became acquainted with him. As they shared similar interests, they became sworn brothers.
Chen Mingpeng has two sons and one daughter, the eldest is Chen Dewei, the second is Chen Dexing, and the third is Chen Hongying. The two sons each have a son, and the daughter has a pair of twins.
The Chen family and the Li family have a very good relationship, almost like relatives.
When Li Guoer was a child, she was often taken to live with the Chen family. Grandpa Chen taught her how to identify and prepare medicinal herbs, just like his own daughter.
When they arrived at the Chen family's villa complex, Grandma Chen, Zhao Bing, came up to them and said angrily, "Oh, our busy people finally remembered our forgotten stepmother!!"
Li Guoer also went up to her and took Grandma Chen's arm, shaking her softly and coquettishly: "Grandma, it's all my fault. I was really busy recently. Didn't I come to see you after I finished my work?"
"I also brought you some delicious food. Let's go take a look."
When I opened the trunk, I saw a chicken, a duck, and a goose produced in the space, 100 chicken, duck, and goose eggs, and a leg of lamb.
Grandma Chen asked curiously, "Why is there a lamb leg? I remember your family didn't raise sheep."
"Well, someone in the village slaughtered a sheep, so I bought some. The weather is cold, so you and your uncle should also nourish yourself well." Li Guoer touched her nose and said with concern.
"You kid, you always bring so many things with you every time you come. Are you going to move your entire home here to your godmother?"
"Grandma, except for the mutton, which was bought, the rest are all raised at home. It doesn't cost much. The key is that they are very nourishing to the body. You and Grandpa are getting older, so you need to nourish yourself well."
Grandma Chen felt very comforted. The two families had a close relationship, and she always treated Li Guoer as her own granddaughter.
The child is willing to be close to them and is filial. He never forgets to give them any good things he has.
"Xiaoguo, let's have lunch at Grandma's house. I'm going to buy your favorite stewed food! Do you want to come with me?"
"I'm going to buy some Chinese medicinal herbs from Grandpa Gan, so I won't go with you. Come back for lunch with Grandpa Gan at noon."
Today, besides buying needles for acupuncture practice, she also came to Chen's house to buy some Chinese medicinal herbs to use when making medicine. After all, the seeds of the medicinal herbs she bought haven't come back yet.
The store was not far from Chen's house. When Li Guoer went there, Chen Mingpeng was drinking tea.
Seeing her coming, he poured a cup and handed it to her, and the two of them sipped it slowly.
Li Guoer also handed the list of required medicinal materials to the staff and asked them to prepare them.
After seeing that all the staff had left, he asked softly, "Grandpa Gan, do you have any customers who need high-aged ginseng?"
Chen Mingpeng took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, there's a family in G City that needs ginseng that's over a thousand years old as a medicine to sustain life. Such a precious thing is hard to find these days, and they're offering a very high price. They've also promised us herbal medicine merchants that whoever can help them get it will receive a commission of one million."
Li Guoer's eyes lit up, and she told Grandpa Chen that her family wanted to build a farm, but they were a little short of money. They happened to have a thousand-year-old ginseng left by her great-grandmother, and she wanted to sell it.
Her great-grandmother was a noble lady, so it made sense for her to leave behind a branch.
Chen Mingpeng advised: "If your family needs any money, tell me and I'll cover it first. You should keep such a precious thing."
However, Li Guoer did not agree, because her godfather also had sons, daughters and grandchildren.
Although the relationship between the two families is like that of family, we cannot cause unnecessary misunderstandings because of this matter.
Seeing her insistence, Chen Mingpeng had no choice but to call the other party and agreed to come to the city for negotiations the next day.
