Chapter 42: Trying to Find a seam to get down.

Chapter 42

"Did you bring the ginseng?" Liang Zhiwei was now convinced of An ZhiXia's story, of course, this was on the premise that he would have to see the ginseng first before saying anything.

"I brought it." ZhiXia acted like a complete novice, immediately reaching to rummage through her bag after hearing this.

Liang Zhiwei quickly stopped her, "Don't move yet, let's go over there to talk about it."

Liang Zhiwei took Zhao Jingyun's arm with one hand, and led the way to the quiet place behind them. ZhiXia hurried to follow.

The thick trees cast shadows down, blocking out the moonlight and starlight.

ZhiXia carefully took out the wrapped ginseng from her bag with both hands, and passed it over gingerly.

Liang Zhiwei brought it around to the slightly brighter area in front to inspect it carefully after unwrapping the red cloth around the ginseng.

Zhao Jingyun's illness was caused by complications from a previous miscarriage. She often felt physically weak, and part of it was also caused by psychological issues. She would feel unwell over the slightest upset, sometimes even too unwell to get out of bed, so she could only rest well to recuperate.

Although Zhao Jingyun came from a well-off family background, she had resolutely followed him when Liang Zhiwei had nothing. Their relationship had always been very good even until today. Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

Even after knowing Zhao Jingyun could no longer conceive after the miscarriage, Liang Zhiwei still treated her the same as before. He had tired every effort to find ginseng to nourish her.

But this stuff was rare to begin with, and older ones were even harder to find.

Despite looking closely, Liang Zhiwei actually had no clue at all.

"Did you get someone to look at this ginseng? How old is it?"

ZhiXia: "No, I just dried it at home and put it away. I didn't dare let anyone see it."

Liang Zhiwei said: "Little girl, why don't we do this - leave the ginseng with me for now. I'll get someone to authenticate it tomorrow. If it's real, don't sell it anymore. You wanted a job right? I'll give you a job in exchange for the ginseng, what do you think?"

Zhao Jingyun walked over to touch his arm, clearly disapproving of how he was bullying others.

That would mean the ginseng was real.

People always said he was crafty and scheming. No one had called him a good man in a long time.

On the way back, Zhao Jingyun reminded Liang Zhiwei again, "This girl seems pretty decent to me, and pitiful too. After you settle the job for her tomorrow, give her 200 yuan too. We can't bully her just because she's young."

"Alright, I'll listen to you on family matters. As long as it can nourish you back to health, 200 yuan is nothing. I'd even give my life for you." Liang Zhiwei added, "Don't think we're taking huge advantage either. This is a mutually beneficial thing. Didn't you hear her say she didn't even dare let the Ans know about the ginseng? That shows her situation at the Ans isn't good. By arranging a job for her, I'd be helping her big time. Otherwise if I just gave her money and she had to figure out work herself as a girl, she might get tricked and end up with nothing."

The more Liang Zhiwei thought about it, the more he felt her real objective was probably the job all along. Otherwise how could she have decided where she wanted to work already.

But Liang Zhiwei did not feel anything was amiss. It was only normal for her to have demands. It would be weird if she readily gave him the ginseng and asked for nothing in return.

"She's a pitiful child too. Let's help if we can, it'll be blessing ourselves too."

After finishing up, ZhiXia headed back the way she came. She was walking steadily at first, then started hopping and skipping happily.

The first task went very smoothly. Next was to see how An MeiYun's progress went.

She truly hoped An MeiYun and Lin Hao's relationship would develop quickly, and they would fall in love and be together forever.

After all, their marriage this life was two years earlier than the last. Without enough feelings, how could the radish be pulled out with the mud?

But waiting two years for them to develop feelings was really too long. She would run out of patience.

Pei Jing was riding out on his bicycle to look for someone, and saw this scene from afar.

The girl was skipping and jumping ahead excitedly, her round eyes filled with laughter, occasionally cheering and flailing about.

It looked...a little abnormal, silly and not too clever.

Pei Jing rode up to ZhiXia and stopped in front of her, "You seem very happy?"

ZhiXia froze instantly, recalling the embarrassing actions she made thinking no one was around. She really felt like finding a crack to burrow into right now.
