Chen Ping had just started. His eyes were shining as he stared at the ginseng. Elder Liu then said, “This is a hundred-year-old ginseng. Chen Ping, where did you get this ginseng?” Elder Liu took his magnifying glass and started to observe. “Ah, this ginseng was unearthed not long ago.” 

Initially, Elder Liu thought that this hundred-year-old ginseng should have been left behind by Chen Ping’s ancestor. However, looking at it now, that was not the case. 

“Yeah, it was not long ago. This ginseng was found by my daughter in the mountains.” Chen Ping was an honest person. When Elder Liu asked this question, he answered honestly. 

Chen Ping’s answer made Elder Liu Look at Chen Meng’er differently. He was now sure that the little girl in front of him was not simple. 

Chen Meng’er, who was drinking the milk attentively, felt Elder Liu’s burning gaze on her. She raised her head and asked, “Grandpa Liu, why are you looking at me like that? How is it, Grandpa Liu? are you satisfied with this ginseng?” 

“I’m very satisfied with this ginseng.” Elder Liu nodded and said. “However, you guys are really too much. How can you wrap a hundred-year-old wild ginseng with cloth like this? Fortunately, when this ginseng was pulled out from the ground, the whiskers didn’t break.” 

Hearing elder Liu’s words, the corners of Chen Meng’er’s eyes almost twitched. This Elder Liu was really too much. He didn’t even open his eyes to take a look. He had the conditions to take good care of this ginseng. But they didn’t have such conditions. If they did, they wouldn’t have sold it 

“Then Grandpa Liu, since you’re satisfied, then please give us a price. If the price is reasonable, we’ll sell this ginseng to you. Of course, if you don’t want it, we can only look for another buyer.” Chen Meng’er placed the cup in her hand on the coffee table, she said. 

“Little girl, don’t worry. Your Grandpa Liu is very satisfied with this ginseng. If I want it, I won’t cheat you. The price will definitely be reasonable.” When elder Liu said this.., he paused for a moment. “However, little girl, I’m very curious. How did you find this hundred-year-old wild ginseng?” One had to know that although this ginseng was not from Changbai Mountain, it was still a hundred-year-old wild ginseng. However, elder Liu had used a magnifying glass to observe it. He found that this hundred-year-old wild ginseng was not much different from Changbai Mountain’s ginseng. 

It could be said that the appearance of this ginseng and its medicinal effects should be the best he had seen in the past few decades. This was also the reason why he was so excited and determined to get it. 

“Well, I can only say that I’m lucky.” Chen Meng’er did not want to have a deep conversation with Elder Liu on this issue. And there was nothing to talk about. Chen Meng’er couldn’t tell Elder Liu that this ginseng was produced by her space. Since that was the case, what was there to talk about. “Grandpa Liu, then give me a price. Let me see if it’s reasonable with my father.” 

“Little girl, don’t be anxious. It’s still early. You can talk to Grandpa Liu. We’ll talk about the ginseng later.” Obviously, Elder Liu was more interested in Chen Meng’er than the ginseng. 

For some reason, Elder Liu felt that Chen Meng’er was mysterious. 

“Grandpa Liu, you’re not in a hurry, but we are. We still have to rush home. Otherwise, my mom will be anxious.” After Chen Meng’er said that, she turned to look at her father, Chen Ping. “Dad, don’t you think so?” 

“Yes. Elder Liu, we still have to catch the bus back. So, what do you think?” Chen Ping followed his daughter’s words and said. 

“Sir, there’s a patient outside. It’s a child. He fell down the stairs and hit his head. He’s outside now,” Xiao Liu said as he ran in while panting. 

However, before he could finish speaking, Elder Liu stood up from his chair. “Nonsense, he fell on his head. Why are they still sending him to our pharmacy? Why don’t they just send the child to the hospital?” 

As he spoke, Elder Liu couldn’t care less about Chen Meng’er and Chen Ping. He put down the ginseng in his hand and walked towards the hall in front. Xiao Liu followed closely behind. 

Looking at the master who had suddenly left, Chen Ping and Chen Meng’er looked at each other, not knowing how to react. 

“Meng’er, why don’t we go and take a look too?” Since their master was not around, they could not stay here forever. 

“Okay.” Chen Meng’er nodded as she slowly slid down from the chair. “Dad, bring the ginseng with you. We will go and take a look too.” Chen Meng’er was very cautious. She would not forget the ginseng that could be said to be their entire fortune. 

“Oh, okay.” Chen Ping carefully wrapped the ginseng with a cloth again. Then, he held his daughter Chen Meng’er’s little hand and walked to the hall in front. 

When Chen Meng’er and Chen Ping arrived at the hall, the hall was in a mess. A group of people surrounded the little boy lying on the ground in the middle. Meanwhile, a woman in her thirties was half-paralyzed on a chair at the side. 

“Oh no, it’s internal bleeding. We have to send him to the hospital quickly. Otherwise, there’s no hope if we’re too late.” Elder Liu checked the unconscious boy and his expression changed. He turned around and said to the boy’s father. 

“Oh. I. . . I’ll send the boy to the hospital right away.” The boy’s father bent over to hug the unconscious boy lying on the ground..
