Yan Zhenshen frowned. He knew the wild ginseng in Chu Xiao's hand. It was very small when it was dug out. Chu Xiao said it was about twenty years old.

He now knew that Chu Xiao could speed up the growth of plants, and naturally could turn those twenty years into fifty or even a hundred years. However, every time he used that so-called superpower, people seemed to become weaker. To be honest, he did not want Chu Xiao to keep using that mysterious superpower.

"Xiao Ge did dig up a wild ginseng, but he didn't plan to sell it."

The man knew the wild ginseng was in Chu Xiao's hands after hearing this, and looked at him expectantly: "Xiao Xiao, we are relatives after all, you should still call me uncle. I also know that my cousin has not been very kind to you over the years, but your aunt and I have advised her before. Uncle is begging you to help your aunt."

Chu Xiao used up several days' supernatural powers to accelerate the growth of wild ginseng to seventy or eighty years old, and was thinking that eighty taels of silver would be paid to him in a few days. However, he did not expect that Doctor Hu was so unscrupulous that he actually told others that he had ginseng.

He has no mercy at all. What does other people's life or death have to do with him? What's more, they are Li Xiulan's relatives. It's good enough that he didn't chase them away directly. She even wants to talk about family affection with him. It's really ridiculous.

But it is said that saving a life is better than lighting a seven-story pagoda. What's more, he was going to sell this ginseng anyway. What difference does it make to whom he sells it? Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to ask him to lower the price.

Chu Xiao didn't say yes or no, he just said: "I do have wild ginseng, some are seventy or eighty years old and some are a hundred years old, but I didn't dig them up, I marked them on the mountain, I won't sell them to the clinic for less than eighty taels."

"Is it so expensive?" The man hesitated. "Xiaoxiao, can you give it a cheaper price? After all, this wild ginseng is also raised naturally. It doesn't take much effort on your part, right? Just sell it to uncle at a lower price. Our family will be grateful to you in the future."

Chu Xiao sneered, "I sold it to the clinic for eighty taels, why should I sell it to you cheaper? Also, don't keep talking about my uncle. Li Xiulan and I don't have any relationship at all, let alone you. I have a conscience for not asking you for a higher price."

The man felt a little depressed and lost. What Chu Xiao said was indeed true. If they had some friendship, it would be fine, but everyone knew how Li Xiulan treated Chu Xiaoxiao over the years.

The man sighed and spoke after a long while: "Xiaoxiao, can't it be cheaper?"

Chu Xiao smiled wryly: "Instead of bargaining with me here, why don't you go and discuss it with your good cousin? She still has six acres of land from my father. If you ask her to return the land to me, I will give you a wild ginseng."

"This..." The man hesitated. One acre of land would cost five to ten taels of silver. Even if six acres were top-quality farmland, they would only be worth sixty taels at most. That was definitely more economical than eighty taels.

He was indeed somewhat tempted, but he also knew what kind of person Li Xiulan was. She would only put the benefits into her own pocket, so how could she let others take advantage of her?

But one must always try when there is a chance. Although his family has a small fortune, it is not easy to come up with eighty taels at once.

The man didn't say anything else. After thinking for a while, he turned and left. As for whether he would go to find Li Xiulan, Chu Xiao was not sure.

After the people left, Chu Xiao couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Shen, what do you think he will do? If he goes to find Li Xiulan, will it be lively?"

Seeing his gloating expression, Yan Zhenshen also raised his lips and asked, "Six acres of land is not worth eighty taels."

Chu Xiao raised his chin without any concern: "If the wild ginseng is gone, I can just look for more. If there is one on this mountain, there will be a second one. If it really doesn't work, I can cultivate it myself. My goal is to let Li Xiulan return all the land to Boss Chu."

Yan Zhenshen didn't say anything else. This thing was found by his husband, so naturally his husband had the final say on the right to control it.

Chu Xiao is certainly not a fool. His purpose is not to give money to Li Xiulan. Naturally, he wants her to get nothing, including land and money.

He still has several seeds of the Forget-Me-Not Flower in his space. When the time comes, hehe...

They wasted some time on the road and it was already sunset when they got home. Zhao Xiuzhi was already cooking, so Chu Xiao went straight into the kitchen to help.

Zhao Guizhi saw him and smiled, "It will be fine soon."

It means that he doesn't need help.

Chu Xiao felt a little embarrassed. He knew that husbands and wives in the village had to help with housework at home, such as washing clothes, cooking, feeding pigs and raising chickens.

Although she is not as busy as Chu Xiaoxiao and has no free time, she is not like him, wandering around with her man doing nothing.

"Mom, how about I cook for you from now on, and you can just give instructions from the side."

Zhao Guizhi just stroked his hair and said, "Don't worry. Just let the eldest take you wherever you want to go after you get married. Mother knows you are not lazy. It won't be too late to do it later when you are used to it."

Chu Xiao was touched on the head and he glanced at Zhao Guizhi, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.

The dinner was indeed simple, just some slightly processed leftover dishes. Although they were given to several families today, what was left was enough for the family to eat for two days.

After dinner, Yan Sanmei went to the backyard to feed the hunting dogs and chickens and ducks. She was shocked to see Taxue looking so energetic. She threw the food bowl on the ground and ran to the front yard.

"Brother, brother, come and see, it's healed."

When Yan Zhenshen heard Yan Sanmei calling him anxiously, he thought it was something else. But when he heard her next words, the corners of his mouth raised and his brows were relaxed. "Yes, I know."

Yan Sanmei ran in a hurry, her face flushed, and she was very excited: "Brother, you took Taxue out again today, right?"

The last time his elder brother and brother Xiao took Taxue out for a trip, Taxue came back much more energetic.

This afternoon after dinner, she went to the river to wash clothes, and then she and Xiaobei picked some screws. This time she learned her lesson and didn't pick too many. But when the two came back, she didn't see Taxue in the backyard. When her eldest brother came back, she was mending Xiaobei's clothes in the room, so she naturally didn't know about Taxue's changes.

Yan Zhenshen didn't say anything. He was thinking about how to explain the changes in Taxue.

Yan Sanmei grinned, approached Yan Zhenshen mysteriously, and whispered, "Brother, is it Brother Xiao? Does he know any magic?"

Yan Zhenshen looked down at his younger sister's unusually excited expression and said, "Why do you say that?"

Yan Sanmei was very proud, but she lowered her voice and continued, "The villagers said that Brother Xiao is blessed by God and can have thunder on a sunny day. The last time you went to the mountain, it was also a sunny day. I heard thunder, and it was on the mountain you went to."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Yan Zhenshen cheerfully, waiting for an explanation. Seeing this, Yan Zhenshen asked, "Is that all?"

Yan Sanmei hesitated for a long time before whispering, "Brother, isn't Brother Xiao actually Chu Xiaoxiao? I heard that Chu Xiaoxiao was killed by Chu Wanwan before, and Brother Xiao is indeed completely different from Chu Xiaoxiao. He is much more powerful than Chu Xiaoxiao and can even cure Taxue. Is he an immortal?"
