These days, a regular employee's monthly salary is only 15 yuan, which is something everyone envies.
The man in the suit immediately asked for 1,000 yuan, and everyone present gasped in astonishment. Foreigners are just too extravagant!
Xu Jingtian shook her head upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Charles assumed the child thought the money was too little, so he simply took out his leather wallet from his suit pocket and said, "Two thousand."
Xu Jingtian looked up at He Ruisen, her eyes clear and innocent.
Xu Jingrun could probably guess what his sister wanted to do, so he stood in front of her, adopting a protective stance.
He Ruisen was very observant and keenly noticed that Xu Jingtian was a little timid. He stopped Charles and said, "Let's talk about it after we eat. The child is still young."
Charles was disappointed, but he could only put away his wallet. "I'm sorry, I was too hasty."
After dinner, Xu Jingtian told Charles that the weeds were picked by her mother, and only her mother knew where they were.
On the way back to school, He Yue was a little downcast. "I'm sorry, Tian Tian, I invited you to my house, but I didn't expect there to be a stranger there."
The stranger kept asking Xu Jingtian questions, and He Yue was afraid that Xu Jingtian would get angry and stop playing with her in the future.
"By the way, Sweetie, you should have taken that two thousand yuan. Why didn't you take it? Are you stupid?!"
Xu Jingtian and her brother exchanged a glance and couldn't help but chuckle. "Yueyue, it's okay. My mother is very smart."
A big, clumsy guy like the one from today at noon, his mother should be able to get double the money out of him.
Meanwhile, He Ruisen and Charles, after finishing their meal, immediately went to the countryside to find Chen Yunyun.
Charles was very excited throughout the journey, and every now and then he would bend down to look at the grass by the roadside on the mountain road.
Three hours later, the two finally arrived.
"Comrade Chen should be drying wheat in the dam area," the scorekeeper said.
Perhaps it was because Charles was dressed in a suit and He Ruisen's formal Zhongshan suit was too conspicuous, someone soon went to the captain to deliver a message.
"You must be Comrade Chen?"
Chen Yunyun had just turned over the wheat on the ground when she heard someone call her from behind. When she turned around, she saw two well-dressed strangers.
"Looking for me?"
Charles stepped forward first, taking out the wild grass he had carefully preserved. "Do you recognize this?"
Chen Yunyun glanced at it, then looked away. "What's wrong?"
Perhaps because Chen Yunyun's attitude was not as expected, He Ruisen had no choice but to step forward and explain.
After hearing everything, Chen Yunyun raised an eyebrow. Her good daughter had given her a big gift. She quickly came up with an explanation.
"This herb is not some wild grass; it is a precious medicinal herb that our village has cultivated for generations."
He Ruisen wiped his forehead and thought to himself: It was clearly just a bunch of wild grass that he casually picked and covered the bamboo shoots with, how did it suddenly become a precious medicinal herb?
He Ruisen understood that this woman was trying to raise the price, but he and Charles were only business partners, and he didn't intend to expose her.
Charles was taken aback by Chen Yunyun's words: "I can take you to see it. This kind of grass is grown in large quantities in our Xujia Village."
As they were talking, the captain arrived. The old captain had passed away last month, and Zhang the Hunter had taken over as the new captain.
Chen Yunyun is Hu Zi's godmother, and because of this relationship, the two families have a good relationship, so Captain Zhang naturally sides with Chen Yunyun.
What happened?
He Ruisen explained his purpose again, and Captain Zhang glanced at Chen Yunyun and nodded slightly, "Then let's go take a look together."
Chen Yunyun led the group up the mountain, circling around several times before finally finding the spot where they had pulled weeds earlier. "Look, this is it."
Following the direction Chen Yunyun pointed, Charles saw a patch of lush green grass, exactly the same as the one in his palm.
Charles was so excited he almost knelt on the ground. This wasn't grass; it was money!
He was a businessman, and after a brief moment of excitement, Charles regained his senses, shook his head, and looked disappointed.
"This is too little, not enough."
Chen Yunyun had been keeping a close eye on Charles, this fat sheep, from the very beginning, and naturally she didn't miss his excited expression. Chen Yunyun smiled and said, "This is only part of it; there are still plenty more on the back mountain."
Upon hearing that there was grass all over the mountain, Charles almost couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.
"I don't know about the quality of this grass. I need to send it back for testing."
Chen Yunyun nodded and didn't say anything more.
"Oh, right, this money is your reward." Charles took out 2,000 yuan and stuffed it into Chen Yunyun's hand. He had given it to the child at noon, but the child hadn't accepted it.
Besides its medicinal uses, this herb can also be used as an ingredient in high-end perfumes.
If the herbs here are effective at extraction, he might need to cooperate with the people here in the long term.
So Charles didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache when giving away this money.
Chen Yunyun didn't refuse and accepted it without any qualms.
"I'll dig some grass for you to take back." Chen Yunyun turned her back and used her planting talent while digging the grass.
Only when the wild grass became greener and more resilient in her palm did she hand the grass, roots and all, to Charles.
