Traveling into the era: I messed with Dr. Xie and got turned on
Chapter 46: What a waste of resources
Xie Yan pursed his lips and was silent for a while before he looked up at the two of them and said, "When I was three years old, the Xie family suffered an accident. My father became a prisoner because of that accident, and the Xie family's century-old foundation was almost destroyed..."
After the Xie family suffered a sudden change, Yu Qin and the Yu family behind her, fearing that they would be implicated by the Xie family, brought the entire family to the Xie family, blocked Old Man Xie at the door and made a big scene.
Old Master Xie didn't want to see his three-year-old grandson Xie Yan lose his mother, so he always suppressed his anger and kept giving in and compromising. He not only proposed to hand over the management of the family to Yu Qin, but also promised to always stand by Yu Qin and not let anyone from the Xie family bully them mother and son.
However, Yu Qin still insisted on leaving the Xie family and even wanted to sever the mother-son relationship with Xie Yan. In order to achieve her goal, she said a lot of ugly words, not only humiliating Xie Yan and his father, but also humiliating Old Man Xie.
Old Master Xie was so angry that he proposed to let Yu Qin leave as long as she wrote a letter of severance of the mother-son relationship and promised never to appear in front of Xie Yan in the future.
Mr. Xie proposed such a condition, in fact, he was forcing Yu Qin. He didn't believe that a mother could really abandon her own child. Unfortunately, Yu Qin only wanted to protect herself at that time. She didn't care at all that Xie Yan was a piece of his flesh and blood. She made a promise in front of everyone without hesitation and wrote a letter of severance of relationship between mother and child.
However, the Yu family never imagined that the Xie family, which was almost crushed into the mud, would come back to life. Not only did they preserve their century-old foundation, but even Xie Yan's father was soon released.
Until the Xie family got through the difficulties, Yu Qin came to the door with a flattering face and said that she regretted it and wanted to return to the Xie family to take good care of Xie Yan. The Xie family could not tolerate Yu Qin, but they did not stop Yu Qin from meeting Xie Yan, and even allowed Yu Qin to take Xie Yan back to the Yu family for a short stay occasionally.
"The letter of severance she wrote to me is still in the Xie family's ancestral hall. Everyone in Liujia Lane knows that she and I have severed our mother-son relationship a long time ago. My father has also said that the Xie family will not recognize the marriage she arranged for me in private, so even if someone from the Yang family comes to our house in the future, it will not have any impact on Manman."
After hearing this, Tang Man and Tang Ling were speechless for a long time.
Especially Tang Ling, he and his siblings grew up in the love of their parents. He couldn't imagine that a mother could cruelly abandon her own children for her own selfish desires and even write a letter of severance of relationship between mother and child.
Tang Man happened to be an orphan abandoned by her parents in the real world, so she believed that not all parents in this world would be unconditionally good to their children. However, Yu Qin's actions still made her dumbfounded.
The bitterness in Xie Yan's eyes flashed away, and he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken leg for Tang Man. "Manman, try this chicken. The chicken stewed by big brother is delicious."
As he spoke, Xie Yan picked up a few more pieces of chicken for Tang Ling. "Brother, you bought some ginseng. I'm just slightly injured. Why waste money buying ginseng?"
Tang Ling knew that Xie Yan wanted to change the subject. No one wanted to talk about this kind of mother, so he did not continue the previous topic. He followed Xie Yan's words and said, "I was planning to buy it, but Manman said that she had dug three ginsengs in the mountains before, so I didn't buy it. Ask Manman to bring the ginseng to you later. I have never seen such a big ginseng."
"I dug it up." Xie Yan immediately became interested and looked at Tang Man excitedly, "Manman, can I see it?"
"I'll show you after dinner." Tang Man lowered her head and took a bite of the chicken leg. In addition to the aroma of chicken, she could also taste a strong ginseng flavor. It was worthy of being a product of Lingquan Space. Just two small pieces had such a strong ginseng flavor.
After dinner, Tang Man treated Xie Yan's hand injury before fulfilling his promise.
“This…” Xie Yan looked at the three ginsengs delivered to him in astonishment, his eyes filled with excitement and disbelief that could not be concealed. “These three ginsengs are at least 300 years old. The Xie family has collected a 300-year-old ginseng, but it is much smaller than these three.”
Tang Ling's eyes widened. "Uh! So how much did we spend on this meal today?" "During the Nationalist period, someone came to my house with a box of gold bars to buy the ginseng at home."
Tang Ling's feet went weak, he quickly held onto the table and slowly sat on the stool. "My goodness, these two pieces of ginseng whiskers I plucked today could have killed me."
"Brother, don't be so nervous. I'm talking about that time. No one would dare to take out so much money openly now."
People in this era are very poor, but does that mean everyone is penniless?
Not really. A family like Xie Yan's that has been around for hundreds of years has a very rich fortune. The Xie family suffered misfortune at the beginning because they were too rich. There were many other families that suffered the same misfortune that time.
After that turmoil, all the families understood the principle of not showing off their wealth, so even if the Xie family said they wanted to sell the ginseng, many families wanted it but no one dared to actually trade with the Xie family.
"So, this thing looks valuable, but it's actually worthless." Tang Man smiled and stuffed the ginseng into Tang Ling's arms. "Brother, you take it first. I'm too lazy to put it away."
At this time, Tang Ling felt that the two plants in his hand were like two hot potatoes. He looked at Tang Man with a bitter face and said, "Man Man, even if you are willing to let us eat this, we dare not eat it!"
Tang Man was speechless. He grabbed two ginseng plants and tore them into two halves with a click.
"Manman." Xie Yan and Tang Ling stretched out their hands almost at the same time to stop her, but Tang Man's movements were too fast and they had no time to stop her. The two ginsengs were destroyed.
Tang Man felt that this was not enough, so she tore it a few more times with force, tearing off all the branches below the ginseng, and wrapped them up in handkerchiefs respectively.
Tang Ling looked at Tang Man's masterpiece in disbelief, and exclaimed in grief, "Manman, that's two full boxes of gold!"
Xie Yan sat there in silence, his deep eyes filled with so much heartache that it almost materialized.
"Then can you exchange it for two boxes of gold for me?" Tang Man rolled her eyes at the two of them.
She knew that her actions were a waste of resources in the eyes of these two people, but they didn't know that her spiritual spring space contained many ginsengs that were larger than these three.
She took out these three ginsengs to honor the elderly in her family. If she didn't destroy them, they would be reluctant to eat them, and then there would be no point in her taking them out. So even though they would be heartbroken and uncomfortable, she destroyed the two ginsengs without hesitation.
"It can't be exchanged." Tang Ling shook his head. Just like Xie Yan said, even if there was so much gold at this time, no one would dare to take it out.
"It can't be exchanged for money. Its only use is to nourish the body." Tang Man stuffed the wrapped ginseng back into Tang Ling's hands. "Don't say a word to my parents. Xie Yan's grandfather must know the value of ginseng. Tell him not to feel bad. One plant is enough for the collection. This is a gift from me, his grandson's wife, to him to nourish his body."
"Is this for grandpa?" Xie Yan looked at Tang Man.
"Yeah!" Tang Man nodded in response.
Hearing her affirmative answer, Xie Yan's first reaction was not to refuse, but that his grandfather would definitely be heartbroken and go crazy when he saw this ginseng.
