Xiao Lei put all the silver into the jar and filled it with soil again.
Zhao Xiaoyu was watching from the side. This man was very considerate.
"By the way, your father may come to see you in a few days. He heard about your incident and fainted from anger. He also got a big bump on his head."
"It's no use coming. I've severed ties with them."
"Just be honest. People like this will never be satisfied. If you compromise once, you will do it countless times. If you are not satisfied once, all the money you have spent will be wasted."
"I understand. After my mother died, my father died with her."
Emma, these words are so cruel. Xiao Ping will probably faint again after hearing them. But it is true that if he had a soft heart, he would not have hidden the silver here. I would rather not benefit myself than let others get it for free.
"Is ginseng far away?"
"It's a bit far. Let's go quickly. We can get home in the afternoon. Don't worry, there are no wild animals in that area."
He didn't dare take anyone to dangerous places, for fear that he would be beaten to death by her parents if something unexpected happened.
Zhao Xiaoyu looked at the mountains and then at the person next to him. He can be said to be as familiar with this place as his own home, so she could ask him to bring her here to look for medicinal herbs some other day.
She also wants treasures like Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng.
"It's right here. This ginseng is thicker than the ones I sold before. It must be quite old. I have money, so I just didn't dig it."
He had seen her digging medicinal herbs and knew that she understood them. As for why a country girl understood them, that was not for him to ask.
Zhao Xiaoyu took the shovel and dug carefully, her eyes flashing with excitement. She would take it home and prepare it well and put it in her space. It would be able to save lives when needed.
Judging from the thickness of its branches, this ginseng is at least fifty years old.
Digging ginseng is a slow job, and the best ones are those with intact roots. In such a high year, even a single root is very valuable.
Zhao Xiaoyu dug slowly, bit by bit, sweat slid down her forehead. Xiao Lei didn't dare to go up and wipe it. He just stood beside her like a door god, not moving.
It took her nearly an hour and a half to dig out a whole ginseng. The reed head is slender and curved, with fourteen stem scars. This ginseng is at least sixty years old.
Zhao Xiaoyu carefully wrapped up the ginseng and said, "Take it back and ask Doctor Chen to prepare it. It's up to you whether you want to sell it or keep it."
Although she was envious, when she dug it out just now, she remembered that they were just newly engaged and she didn't know what would happen in the future. She couldn't take such an expensive thing from someone else.
"I am taking you to dig so that I can keep the money for you. Can't I leave the money with you?"
People say that all the money in the house is kept by women. Since he is a housewife, shouldn't he hand over more money?
"For my safekeeping?"
"Well, aren't we engaged? I'll give you these to keep. If I need money, I'll ask you for it. Is that okay?"
So one or two people all treat this place as a money house, right? My second uncle is like this, my grandparents are like this, my parents are like this, and now there’s another one.
"Okay, I'll keep it for you. Come to me if you need it in the future."
If you break up, just return it to him.
Xiao Lei saw that she was hesitant to speak, and after a long while he finally spoke, "In the future, if you want it, you can take it away."
Oh my goodness, at this age you already know how to use money to pick up girls?
"Since you don't have so much money, why didn't you build a nice house these years? Are you afraid that your father will make a fuss?"
"Well, it's too annoying. Now that we've broken up, I really feel relieved. When your houses are all built, I'll build two blue brick houses, too."
He lives alone, so there is no need to build a too big house, not even a main room. All it takes is one bedroom and one kitchen.
"Let's build a small yard so it'll be more comfortable to live in. Build the wall higher so your father can't climb in even if he comes."
Xiao Lei couldn't help laughing when he thought about his father yelling outside the door but couldn't get in. "Okay, let's build a small yard."
The two came to the cave again, took the silver, and Xiao Lei went down the mountain carrying the jar.
"You go first, I'll be down in a minute." He handed the jar to her. It's not appropriate for men and women to touch each other, so he had to consider the girl's reputation.
