Meng Wenwu understood, "Okay, I'll hold it for you first."
He knew that Qin Li was not at home. If he gave the money to them, there was no guarantee that it would attract thieves.
"Grandma Qin, let my wife talk to you. I'll go look around other places first."
Xia Jianguo also understood what the two meant. He said with a smile and left with his men.
After they left, Li Qiong, who was sitting in the front yard chatting with Wu Xia, saw Chen Tan coming and pulled her into the kitchen.
"Sister Tan, your face looks much better than when I first saw it. Did you use any medicine?"
Li Qiong thought about the first time she met Chen Tan a month ago, when the scar on her face was still very obvious.
It was much smoother this time.
Chen Tan touched his face and smiled awkwardly.
She didn't want to get better so quickly, and she even drank less spiritual spring water.
But the scars on my face gradually faded away.
"This is the scar removal medicine my master prepared for me. However, one of the ingredients is very precious, so we can't make it for the time being."
The market for scar medicine is too narrow, and she doesn't want to waste time on it.
When Li Qiong heard this, regret flashed in her eyes.
Her face was still chubby, but it had become white and smooth.
Only a faint mark remains of the spot on it.
Just use the whitening mask cream for another month and the dark spots will be completely gone.
"Sister, do you still have this mask? I'll buy it from you, no matter how much it costs," Li Qiong whispered in her ear. "Our factory director's wife also wants one, so let me buy her a pound first."
"Also," Chen Tan nodded and instructed, "Sister Qiong, you also know that it's not appropriate for an individual to sell it, so you have to keep it secret."
"Well, I'm not stupid," Li Qiong said, lowering her voice. "My eldest daughter found me a folk remedy at the hospital. I made this ointment by chance, and it just happened to cure the spots on my face."
"Sister Qiong, you're really smart," Chen Tan said, holding Li Qiong's hand. "This price is the same as the frostbite cream, two yuan per liang, plus one liang of oil coupons or one liang of sugar coupons. For every jin of whitening mask cream you buy, I'll give you five pieces of tea bran soap I made myself."
She used honey and oil the most, and she was too lazy to convert the other tickets because it was difficult to convert them.
As for the tea bran soap given as a gift, it was a bribe to Li Qiong.
Li Qiong was surprised when she heard the price. "It's really not cheap!"
Chen Tan smiled, "Sister, I gave you four ounces last time. If you apply six ounces, your face will be completely healed. Do you think it's worth it?"
"Hey, you're right," Li Qiong nodded in surprise. "I've spent a lot of money on my looks in the past. If I had known you earlier, I could have gotten one for just 20 yuan. It's really not expensive!"
"If you want to stay beautiful forever, you have to use this mask regularly. You don't have to apply it every day, but you should apply it every three or five days to keep your skin white and tender."
Chen Tan said this with a hint of bewitching intent.
Every woman loves beauty. Li Qiong immediately smiled and said, "I use it sparingly. It only costs ten yuan a month. If I can stay this white, it's worth it."
Her husband and daughter both have high salaries, and she also works in a meat processing factory.
Spending ten dollars a month on dressing yourself up isn't that much of a pressure.
"Haha, sister is a sensible person. How much do you want this time?"
Li Qiong thought for a moment and said, "My husband made a lot of money buying pigs. Give me ten kilograms of frostbite cream first. Several people have asked for it. And give me five kilograms of this face mask. Just find a big jar. You can weigh it first and I'll go get the money."
The small jar from last time wasn’t very pretty, so she took it back and put it in a glass bottle so that she could look presentable when giving it to others.
"Okay." Chen Tan sent her to the door and asked Wu Xia to accompany her.
She went to the backyard and dug out two ceramic jars of frostbite cream and a jar of whitening and freckle-removing facial mask from the pile of pine needles. The amounts inside were all weighed, and they weighed five kilograms, no more, no less.
A total of three hundred yuan was enough for her and Qin Li to buy medicinal materials, tea oil, labor and other expenses during this period.
The money Qin Li earned from selling things was their pure profit.
She took out thirty pieces of tea bran soap with different patterns from the wooden box.
Chilblain cream uses a lot of medicine and is expensive, so we won’t include tea bran soap because of the high cost.
Li Qiong came back quickly and gave Chen Tan three hundred yuan. "I didn't bring that many tickets. I'll give them to you next time."
"Sis, you gave me so many tickets. If I continue to calculate everything clearly with you, it would be unorthodox." Chen Tan put the three pottery jars and tea bran soap in a basket. "Give me more tickets next time you buy something."
"Okay, okay, I'll take advantage of you then," Li Qiong was naturally happy, picking up the basket and saying goodbye, "It's getting late, I should go now."
"I send you."
Chen Tan accompanied her out of the kitchen, and Qin Qiuniang asked her to catch the largest laying hen in the backyard and give it to Li Qiong.
Also, bring her thirty more eggs.
After all, she brought so many gifts, so she had to give something in return.
Chen Tan didn't expect Qin Qiuniang to be so generous. He looked at her gratefully and tied an old hen with a straw rope.
After being fed with the spiritual spring water for so long, the old hen, which originally weighed only more than three pounds, now weighs six or seven pounds, and feels very heavy when held in the hand.
She found a basket with handles, padded the bottom with pine needles, and filled it with thirty eggs.
He also gave Li Qiong five pounds each of cabbage and radishes from the cellar and spinach and garlic sprouts from the field.
Looking at the pile of things, Li Qiong repeatedly refused and said embarrassedly: "This is too much, I can't accept it."
She originally came to thank Chen Tan for saving her life, but ended up taking advantage of him.
Qin Qiuniang smiled and patted her hands, "Sister Qiong, you have already recognized Tan Nier as your sister. If you are still so polite, how will you get along with her in the future?"
"Haha, okay." Li Qiong instantly understood the old lady's double entendre and accepted the things generously. "Grandma Qin, I won't be polite. From now on, Chen Tan is my biological sister."
Chen Tan had been a smart guy in his previous life, but after hearing what Qin Qiuniang said, he exclaimed in his heart: The older you get, the wiser you become.
Since Li Qiong dared to buy so many whitening and freckle-removing masks from her, she must be using them not just for herself.
Once this private business was leaked, Li Qiong would be able to get away easily thanks to his connections.
It is hard to say whether she will protect Chen Tan.
Now, the old lady used a hen and thirty eggs to lock Li Qiong and her family away.
In the eyes of outsiders, the fact that two families exchange such generous gifts means that they have a very close relationship.
From now on, she and Li Qiong are like grasshoppers on the same rope, sharing honor and disgrace.
She packed the vegetables in a basket and sent Li Qiong to the pig-collecting truck at the village entrance. Groups of idle people in the village gathered on the roadside to watch the fun, their eyes full of envy.
"This Chen Caihua is really lucky to have become the benefactor of Director Xia's family."
"Oh, look at her clothes, they are brand new. Qin Li must have bought them for her."
"That girl He Fangcao despised Aunt Qiu and refused to marry Qin Li. Now Chen Caihua is taking advantage of her."
"That's not great. Before Aunt Qiu went blind, He Fangcao followed Qin Li around all day, and we all thought they would be together."
The old ladies and young wives in the village were so busy gossiping among themselves that they didn't notice a woman in a red jacket with yellow flowers glaring at them from behind.
