She was driven away by her own mother at the beginning, and she became rich by cultivating immortals

Chapter 24 Travelers in the Ages
Jiang Chuci walked out of the restaurant carrying a basket, with some vague guesses.

There is no need for Zhu Yuanyuan to be secretive when buying normal medicine. If she is so vigilant, the medicine may come from an unknown source and may have some bad uses.

She thought as she walked. According to the analysis of the situation, the medicine could only be used on Zeng Yanni or Yang Enfeng. If it was the former, it would be poison.

If it is the latter, then it is not certain what it is.

The action might take place in these two days, Jiang Chuci made up her mind.

At the entrance of the stall, Jiang Yilin was sitting on a donkey cart, holding a book that came from nowhere.

"dad."

"Okay, I'll give you 15 cents." Jiang Jianhua sent the guest away and wiped the sweat off his face with a towel: "Girl, why are you here?"

"I just happened to be busy, so I'm bringing you food." Jiang Chuci put the lunch box on the donkey cart and looked at Jiang Yilin who had put down his book: "Brother, eat it while it's hot."

"it is good."

Seeing the two of them eating, Jiang Chuci took the book and opened it.

It is a book written in English, but there is a Chinese analysis below.

"I borrowed this novel from someone else and I have to return it later."

Hearing Jiang Yilin's words, Jiang Chuci gently put the book back to its place.

"He's here." After saying that, Jiang Yilin hurriedly put down the lunch box, picked up a towel to wipe his hands, and after making sure they were not dirty, he picked up the book again.

Jiang Chuci followed the direction of his gaze and saw an old man carrying a travel bag and wearing dark cotton clothes and trousers.

He looked to be in his seventies or eighties, with a head full of gray hair and a wrinkled face that always seemed to have a smile on its face. Even though he was carrying a very heavy bag, his back did not bend.

When the old man came up to him, Jiang Yilin handed it back with both hands very respectfully: "This is your novel."

Jiang Chuci was a little surprised and didn't understand what was going on.

The old man smiled and said, "No need to return it. We are destined to meet. This novel is for you. I am going to leave now, so I came to tell you."

"Are you leaving now?" Jiang Yilin was a little reluctant.

The old man was very insightful: "Everyone has to say goodbye one day. Don't feel sad about my departure. It is fate that we can meet once in a lifetime."

His words made Jiang Yilin even sadder, but he smiled and said, "You are right, but I cannot accept this novel."

"Listen to me, you can't read it even if I take it away. Your eyes are not working well anymore."

The old man pointed to his eyes and then waved goodbye.

He left without hesitation, and his lonely figure was not lonely.

Jiang Yilin did not chase after him, he will keep this novel as a treasure.

After the old man walked away, Jiang Chuci asked, "Brother, who is he?"

Jiang Yilin turned around and sighed, "I met him this morning. He was walking here alone. He didn't buy any food, he was just strolling around."

He paused for a moment and looked at the book in his hand. "I chatted with him by chance and learned that he had no children and his wife passed away three years ago."

"Later, he traveled all over the country alone, carrying his wife's photo. He said that this time he wanted to go to Beijing, which was a common wish he and his wife had."

At this point, Jiang Yilin's eyes revealed sadness and admiration: "You know, his family conditions are actually not good, all the money is used to buy tickets and housing."

Jiang Chuci smiled and said, "But he is very happy."

"Yes."

He never gave up chasing the moon because of lack of sixpence. Although it was withered, it could still sprout in spring.

It was not until the bus was almost time to depart that Jiang Chuci went to the platform and took the bus home.

There was a backpack full of medicinal herbs in the Jiang family's yard, and Jiang Moxue was standing beside it to guard it closely.

Seeing Jiang Chuci coming back, her eyes suddenly brightened: "Sister, you are back!"

"Okay, I'll be out for a while." Jiang Chuci took out a bag of candy.

"It's milk candy!" Jiang Moxue dared not move after getting the milk candy, and her black grape-like eyes sparkled. Jiang Chuci went to Wang Qi's house first, and it took her half an hour to deliver the things.

When I arrived at Zeng Yanni's house, she was sweeping the floor in the yard. As soon as she saw her friend, she put down the broom and dustpan, as if she was in so much pain that she couldn't extricate herself.

"Chuci, I just happen to have something I want you to give me some advice on."

"Let me drink some water first."

I almost lost my voice while talking while giving gifts just now.

"Oh, come on, I'll get you some water."

Jiang Chuci was pulled into the house by her. She sat down, took the cup of water and drank a sip to moisten her throat. When she felt her throat was better, she asked, "Any suggestions?"

Zeng Yanni sat opposite, lying on the table with her face covered by her hands.

"I'm bored staying at home every day, so I want to go out and find a job. Do you think I should be a waiter or sell things to others in a mall?"

In fact, she prefers selling things. I heard that she can earn more money there instead of a fixed salary.

Jiang Chuci thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "If you don't do anything, I'll hire you to look after the store for me."

"What?!"

Zeng Yanni jumped up from her chair and shouted, "You opened a store?"

She couldn't even find a job, but her best friend opened a store?
Then how can she support Jiang Chuci? It's almost like she is being supported by others.

Jiang Chuci put down the water cup slowly, with a helpless tone: "Calm down, I haven't opened it yet."

Zeng Yanni did not sit down, but took her cup and drank the water directly.

After walking around the main hall twice, I finally calmed down a little.

"You said it's not open yet, so you mean you can open the store soon?"

Jiang Chuci calculated the bill for the health tea. If everything went well, plus the income from the skin care cream...

"Yes." She nodded.

Zeng Yanni: “…”

After a moment of daze, she rushed over and simply hugged Jiang Chuci's thighs.

"I'm so lucky to have you as a friend and someone to hug. Fortunately, when you broke your leg when you were a child, I carried you all the way back. Good things really do come true for good people."

She suddenly raised her head, her eyes sparkling: "Look, you hurt your leg, so I just happened to hug your thigh. It's destined by God."

Elder Jiang Chuci smiled: "..."

What should you do when you have a friend who is such a dramatic person? Of course you should pamper him!
"But let's make it clear in advance that I will pay you a salary every month, and you can't refuse to accept it."

Zeng Yanni made a "huh" sound and waved her hand nonchalantly: "What did I think?"

"I am such a money-loving person, how could I not accept money and use your money to support you, hehe——"

Jiang Chuci likes this about her very much. She can clearly distinguish between interests and friendship.

Perhaps this is why good friends can stay together for a long time.

The two discussed the topic of the store for a while, and when it was almost time, Jiang Chuci went back.

Jiang Moxue got off the stool while holding the candy: "Sister, can I have one?"

The smell of the toffee was so tempting that she was almost dying of greed.

"You didn't open the candy package and didn't eat it?" Jiang Chuci asked with a smile.

"Yes." She nodded, looking obedient: "I know uncle and aunt are helping, and sister didn't say whether to give it away before she left, so it can't be opened casually."

My god, this is so cute.

Thank you very much for everyone who voted and supported me! I will work harder!
