“Brother Yansheng, if it weren’t for you bringing this old ginseng in time, my father would have lost his life. You are our family’s savior.”
Meng De said with a serious expression.
Most importantly, when Chen Yansheng learned at the Longfeng Teahouse that his father urgently needed ginseng to save his life, he did not try to raise the price but accompanied him to the hospital to save the man first.
That’s how we didn’t waste any time.
Chen Yansheng deserves this kneeling!
“Boss Meng, that’s how it is, but I don’t do this kneeling and bowing thing here.”
Chen Yansheng gripped Meng De’s arm tightly and said:
“My old ginseng saved your father’s life, which can be considered a meritorious deed, and it has fulfilled its value!”
Upon seeing that Chen Yansheng refused to kneel before him, he mentioned the value of wild ginseng.
Meng De then remembered that he hadn’t paid for the old ginseng yet.
Immediately, he took out a wad of cash from his waist bag and stuffed it directly into Chen Yansheng’s hand.
“Brother Yansheng, I left in a hurry and paid for the hospital fees in advance. I only have 6,000 yuan left.”
“Don’t be offended, take this money first, our relationship is separate.”
Seeing Meng De’s generosity, Chen Yansheng was also surprised and hurriedly declined, saying, “Boss Meng, this is too much. My old ginseng is not worth that much money.”
You have to understand that in this era, having 10,000 yuan was already considered being a millionaire.
This old ginseng, although it is over 70 years old, would only fetch around 2,000 yuan at a pharmacy.
The reason Chen Yansheng brought this old ginseng to Longfeng Teahouse to sell was…
It was because in his previous life, when he was released from prison and became a multi-millionaire, Meng De, the owner of the Dragon and Phoenix Teahouse, was already a well-known catering tycoon in the province, with countless teahouses and hotels under his name.
His entrepreneurial journey has even been written into a biography.
He mentioned that the most desperate thing he experienced when he was young was that even though he was already a wealthy man with ten thousand yuan in savings, he couldn’t buy the old ginseng to save his father’s life.
Today is the day that Mengde’s father needs ginseng to sustain his life.
When the time is right, this old ginseng is priceless.
Even if Chen Yansheng had asked for all of Meng De’s wealth just now, Meng De would probably have agreed.
The reason he didn’t do so was not only because he didn’t want to take advantage of the situation, but also because he wanted to befriend Mengde.
He knew that Mengde was a righteous man and would never let his friends suffer.
Unexpectedly, Meng De’s donation amounted to almost 10,000 yuan!
“Brother Yansheng, I know a 70-year-old ginseng that is not worth this much money.”
“But my father’s life was worth that price, and our friendship was worth that price.”
“You didn’t take advantage of the situation, so as the older brother, I can’t let you suffer a loss, can I?”
Meng De’s expression was serious, and his tone left no room for refusal.
“But…” Chen Yansheng wanted to say something more.
“Brother Yansheng, if you don’t accept me, it means you don’t want to be my elder brother!”
Mengde interrupted!
Seeing that Meng De had said so, Chen Yansheng had no choice but to accept the money.
After exchanging contact information, Chen Yansheng took his leave.
Although Meng’s father was out of danger, Meng and his sister still wanted to stay and take care of the old man.
After leaving the hospital, Chen Yansheng patted the 6,000 yuan in his arms and smiled.
Going to Longfeng Teahouse today was definitely the right decision.
In business, making the right choices is more important than hard work.
If you’re on the right track, making money becomes incredibly easy.
With the Mountain God’s Token in hand and the memories of his past life as a head start, accumulating wealth in this era is undoubtedly much easier than in his previous life!
“Bingjie is so thin, she probably hasn’t eaten anything oily or greasy lately. Let’s buy some rice, flour, cooking oil, and meat for her family first…”
After making money, Chen Yansheng’s first thought was to improve Yu Bingjie’s family’s life.
He immediately went to the private vegetable market in the county town.
I bought 20 jin of rice, 10 jin of peanut oil, 3 jin of pork ribs and 5 jin of pork belly in one go. In addition, I bought some daily necessities. I spent more than 30 yuan before I stopped.
This 30-plus yuan is almost half a month’s salary for the newly established employees.
When we got back, it was already afternoon, and the sun wasn’t so strong anymore.
But when Chen Yansheng returned to Stone Village, he was still covered in sweat.
“Yu Bingjie is shameless. She didn’t want to pay back Wang Mazi’s money for her father, so she pretended to marry him to pay off the debt, but then she got together with Chen Yansheng.”
“Yes, I told you long ago, Yu Bingjie is a little vixen. Even her father was cursed to death by her.”
As soon as Chen Yansheng returned to the village, he heard the village women whispering among themselves.
Chen Yansheng frowned slightly, leaned closer, and said coldly, “What nonsense are you spouting?”
“Who told you all these things?”
The village women were engrossed in gossiping when Chen Yansheng suddenly appeared, startling them all.
“Iwao, you’re back. We didn’t say anything.”
“Yes, yes, we heard it from others too…”
When the village women saw Chen Yansheng, they looked embarrassed and quickly tried to make amends.
Seeing the increasingly harsh words spoken by the village women, Chen Yansheng’s expression darkened slightly.
Originally, he planned to make his relationship with Yu Bingjie public only after convincing his parents and sister.
It seems that the matter has already spread throughout the village, and keeping it a secret any longer would only damage Bingjie’s reputation.
So he simply addressed the village women directly:
“You’re right, I am with Yu Bingjie, but it’s not like we’re having an affair. Our families have a pre-existing marriage agreement!”
“It’s true that the Yu family owes Wang Mazi money, but there’s no such thing as Yu Bingjie paying off the debt with her body!”
“I will pay off the money my fiancée’s family owes Wang Mazi!”
“I will marry Yu Bingjie. Those who gossip had better think about what will happen to Wang Tao!”
Hearing Chen Yansheng’s words, the gossipy village women were all taken aback.
The thought that even the village chief’s son, Wang Tao, had been sent to the police station by Chen Yansheng sent them into a cold sweat.
Chen Yansheng ignored the frightened village women and turned to go to Yu Bingjie’s house.
People at the village entrance were talking about Yu Bingjie’s house, and her neighbors were certainly talking about it too.
really.
When he arrived at Yu Bingjie’s house, the surrounding villagers were standing at the door, pointing and whispering about the Yu family from time to time.
Upon seeing Chen Yansheng, his expression became even more strange.
Ignoring everyone else, Chen Yansheng knocked on the Yu family’s door: “Bingjie, open the door, it’s me, Yansheng.”
In the courtyard.
Yu Bingjie glanced at her mother, who was holding her younger brother and sighing. She bit her lip slightly and said to Chen Yansheng outside the courtyard:
“Iwao, you should go back.”
“Let’s not see each other again.”
When Chen Yansheng saw that Yu Bingjie was unwilling to see him, he immediately became anxious.
If he can’t see Yu Bingjie, how will he know what happened in the village today?
“Bingjie, have you forgotten what I told you before?”
A serious expression appeared on Chen Yansheng’s face, and he said in a deep voice:
“I’m your man, even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up!”
“Don’t you trust your own judgment in choosing a man, or don’t you trust me?!”
