Chapter 343: Chapter 344: Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng 2
"How much is this worth?" Ma Xiulian asked, swallowing.
Not just them, barely anyone in the commune had seen what ginseng looked like. They knew it was valuable but had no idea how much it was worth.
"I don’t know."
Chen Jianjun shook his head, honestly saying, "I’ve only seen it once before, that ginseng was much smaller than this one, and it was worth over a thousand yuan!"
That ginseng was bought by someone at the brink of death. They were on their last breath, their face pale and ashen.
But after consuming a bowl of ginseng soup, the effects were immediate. Their face color improved significantly and their life was saved.
"Thud!"
Chen Dazhu stood there stunned, his dry pipe falling onto the bed.
Ma Xiulian gasped: a thousand yuan, that’s like a brick of gold!
Thinking about this, her eyes glowed brightly whenever she looked at the ginseng.
"Eek eek!"
The monkey cried out again, pointing at the ginseng, then at the sleeping Little Devil King.
"Is this for Guibao?" Ma Xiulian guessed.
Seeing the monkey nod, she swallowed, holding the ginseng with a dreamy expression.
"Growl!"
Dabai let out a low growl at her, and then walked out of the room along with the monkey.
"Wait!" Ma Xiulian called out to them, snapping back to reality.
She got out of bed and walked to the cupboard, taking out two shiny red apples and giving them to the monkey: "Here, eat these."
The monkey happily accepted the apples, bowing to her in gratitude.
Ma Xiulian, even though known to be thick-skinned, felt somewhat embarrassed.
The monkey had brought ginseng which was so precious for Guibao, whereas her gift in return wasn’t more than two ordinary apples.
So she said, "Come again tomorrow night, and I’ll buy you a bag of fruit."
After all, getting a ginseng in return for a few apples felt like an astounding deal.
The monkey seemed to understand and nodded, running out with Dabai.
Once the monkey and wolf left, the three people in the room simultaneously fell silent,
After a while, Chen Jianjun broke the silence: "Dad, mom, only us and my sister-in-law have seen the monkey tonight. The living room was dimly lit, so she didn’t see clearly that the monkey was carrying ginseng, she just thought it was a white radish."
If it wasn’t for the fact that he had seen it before and looked carefully, he would’ve thought it was a huge white radish too.
After all, ginseng is so precious that ordinary people wouldn’t easily think it’s just lying around.
Ma Xiulian nodded: "It’s best if nobody else knows! We need to keep this a secret and see what Guibao decides to do when she wakes up."
At her words, Chen Jianjun’s gaze fell upon his sleeping little girl.
Watching her with a loving gaze on her rosy cheeks, he stood, walked out, and closed the door that Dabai had opened before going back to sleep himself.
Ma Xiulian took a clean piece of cotton cloth and carefully wrapped the ginseng in it, tightly sealing it.
She then placed it carefully in the farthest corner of the cupboard, locking the door securely.
After doing all this, she climbed back into her bed feeling as if this was all a dream, an unreal feeling.
Turning her head towards Chen Dazhu who was lying beside her, she asked uncertainly: "My dear, am I dreaming?"
Chen Dazhu, in the same daze, replied, "Sleep now, we will find out when we wake up tomorrow."
