Old Man Zhou didn't say anything, just stared outside the house.
Seeing this, Old Man Zhong had no choice but to take out the ginseng from Jiang Shanshan's pocket and said, "If you want to live, I will never let you die."
At this time, the silent old man Zhou smelled the ginseng and immediately woke up. His eyes immediately fixed on the ginseng in his hand.
"Ginseng! It's a hundred-year-old ginseng. Where did you get it?" He asked his old friend in surprise.
Old Man Zhong said casually, "Don't worry about where it comes from. Just eat it and all your illnesses and pains will be cured."
"I'm old, why should I eat such delicious food?" Old man Zhou said with a wry smile.
"I don't care, you have to eat. If you don't eat, I will force you to eat."
Jiang Shanshan looked at the two old men who acted like children and smiled helplessly.
"Let me go steam the ginseng water. You guys chat first." After saying that, she took the ginseng from Old Man Zhong's hand, turned around and walked out, leaving the small room to the two old people.
As soon as she left, the two old men in the room began to discuss.
"Is this the student you mentioned before?" Old Man Zhou asked while looking outside.
Old Man Zhong puffed out his chest proudly, "Yes, it's her. What do you think? Do I have good taste?"
"You have a good eye indeed. This kid looks like someone with a conscience. For people like us, the most important thing is to keep our eyes open and never run into an ungrateful person."
When Old Man Zhong heard what he said, he pursed his lips and looked at him nervously, "Old Man Zhou, don't think about those things. Since they are all in the past, our lives now should be looking forward. We have already stepped into the coffin, so don't let those things shorten our lives."
Old man Zhou smiled bitterly. "I can't get over those things. I hate it. I was so good to them, but they treated me like this just to save their own lives. I feel resentful."
When he got excited, he coughed loudly.
The coughing sound made Jiang Shanshan, who was burning a fire outside the house, feel heartbroken.
She just stewed the ginseng in water.
After stewing for nearly two hours, until the ginseng aroma slowly wafted out, she quickly brought in the ginseng water.
The two old men who were talking in low voices inside stopped talking when they saw her come in.
"The ginseng water is ready, drink it while it's hot." She didn't intend to listen to their conversation and said this to them as soon as she came in.
Old Man Zhong immediately urged Old Man Zhou, "Hurry up and drink it while it's hot."
Old man Zhou gave a bitter laugh and said, "Why bother? You gave me such a good thing to eat. What a waste."
Old Man Zhong couldn't bear to see him complaining to himself, so he immediately took the bowl of ginseng water and held it in front of him. He said to him fiercely, "If you don't drink it, I will pour it for you myself. If you don't want to be embarrassed, just get up and drink it yourself."
When Old Man Zhou heard his threatening words, various colors flashed across his face. Finally, with his face flushed red, he took the bowl of ginseng water and drank it.
Just after I finished drinking, I suddenly heard the sound of something being kicked to the ground outside.
When Old Man Zhou, who was sitting on the bed, heard the voice, his face immediately turned ugly.
"Oh, you're living a good life. Why do I seem to smell the scent of ginseng? Old man, didn't you say you had no money? How come you still have money to drink ginseng soup?" A scoundrel-looking man walked in.
