NOVEL NEXT Chapter 287 Dust Settles (Four Chapters Combined)_6
Jiang Xiaoxiao reminded them to sell it in the provincial city; although the county also has a purchasing station, the price won't go up.
Moreover, in the county, there are many people gossiping, and this ginseng might bring trouble to their family.
The old lady immediately thought of the serious consequences and quickly pulled her son and Jiang Xiaoxiao into the house.
"Girl, you have to keep your mouth tight about today's matter. You know your Aunt is from a poor family. If people find out about digging up such a valuable ginseng, I'd be skinned alive."
"How about this, I'll give you some of the mountain goods from my house for free, so you won't have made the trip for nothing."
This was meant to seal Jiang Xiaoxiao's lips.
The man was still bewildered.
He looked a bit dazed but cute.
Jiang Xiaoxiao coughed once, pursed her lips, and smiled, "Aunt, didn't I say it right? I mentioned your son's wife. She's truly a blessing to the family. Look, just as she got the marriage certificate and was about to celebrate the wedding, your family prospered right away.
This fortune belongs to your family; it's your luck. How could I spread the word? Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. This bag has thirty pounds of white flour; just give me the mountain goods in exchange."
She was just trying to be helpful, and the bag of flour was prepared for them.
Otherwise, how could they get married without a meal of white flour; that wouldn't be right?
Especially when she could produce a 100-year-old wild ginseng, not to mention this bit of flour.
The three kids were invested in her world with the most precious emotions; caring for her in old age and death, it was well worth the contribution.
The old lady was filled with gratitude, gathered all the dried goods from the house, and handed them to Jiang Xiaoxiao, feeling a bit sorry.
That thirty pounds of white flour was worth a lot, while their mountain goods added up to only fifty or sixty pounds; in terms of value, she felt she'd made a loss.
Without a word, Jiang Xiaoxiao packed all the mountain goods together and directly put them on the rack of her bicycle.
She gave the old lady a meaningful look and headed out the door.
The old lady understood Jiang Xiaoxiao's look, knowing there must be more to say, and hurriedly escorted her out.
"Old lady, treat your daughter-in-law and grandchildren well. In the future, you'll be someone truly blessed."
Jiang Xiaoxiao threw out this comment and rode away on her bicycle swiftly.
The old lady pondered over Jiang Xiaoxiao's words and reflected on how her son found that ginseng.
Joy was written all over her son's face.
This daughter-in-law was indeed the right choice.
It seems that the young girl just now was insightful; she spoke of the daughter-in-law bringing prosperity.
Not long after, her son fell down the mountain and accidentally found ginseng; such good fortune!
She thought about how to treat her son and daughter-in-law well in the future.
Joyfully preparing for the wedding.
The old lady didn't have the slightest complaint, and indeed, the daughter-in-law fulfilled the girl's prediction.
The daughter-in-law's first child was indeed a daughter, and while nervously tracking the dates, worried about unsuitable birth dates, she was pleasantly born on July 15.
This granddaughter was just perfect, born on a lucky day for the family.
The old lady took great care, afraid of any slip-ups with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
When the granddaughter was three years old, she stumbled upon a box under the bed.
It was packed full with three hundred silver coins.
The old lady consulted the city's purchasing station, each coin was worth ten.
That was a total of three thousand!
Now her daughter-in-law and grandchildren were the true source of prosperity.
Li Fengxian was in good health, strong, and didn't suffer after the family division.
The couple raised three children.
All three eventually became doctors, regarded as the family's golden phoenix taking flight, envied by everyone around.
People spoke of the couple's excellence in raising children, and the old lady remembered them to her last breath as the family's foundation of prosperity.
The family lived happily and well.
