90s: Koi beauty reborn and became rich

"Don't be anxious, cousin. It's only been one day. There's plenty of time. She'll eventually show her true colors." Yi Congxin smiled faintly at her and said nothing more.

She was thinking about going back to the mountain to make medicine, so she said goodbye to her cousin, put on her backpack and hurried to the back of the mountain.

With her mind full of pharmaceutical production procedures and precautions, she relaxed her vigilance a little.

She didn't notice at all that in the distance, behind a thick banyan tree, a man holding a dogtail grass in his mouth was secretly staring at her.

It was obvious that she always wore long sleeves and long pants to wrap herself tightly in order to make her work more convenient and avoid being bitten by insects while picking herbs.

The man's greedy gaze was as if she was not wearing anything, and his lustful eyes never left her.

Seeing Yi Congxin crawling towards the back mountain, the man followed quietly.

However, the man was so focused on looking at Yi Congxin that he didn't notice that there was also a person behind a tree farther away, looking at this side from afar and following them.

-----------------

Yan Silan was indeed ill.

That day she ran down the mountain in a panic, but Yi Congxin's almost cursing voice kept surging in her mind.

When her brother-in-law Yi Huaizhong broke his leg while going up the mountain, she was indeed in a hurry to get a batch of high-quality wild herbs.

She heard from upstream medicinal material dealers that the largest medicinal material dealer in Shanggang City had come to Nanming Province. He would not only participate in the first "Herb Exchange Conference" in Sanping City, but would also purchase a large number of wild Polygonatum and Dendrobium. The prices he paid were extremely high, and the wild golden thread vine was even priced at an exorbitant price.

She didn't know how long the big customer from Shanggang City would stay here, and for fear of missing out on this wave of market trends, she urged Yi Huaizhong to go up the mountain to collect the fruits.

After Yi Huaizhong handed her a batch of good-quality Polygonatum, she urged Yi Huaizhong to pick Dendrobium and Noxious Thread Lotus.

"Dendrobium and golden thread lotus grow in the cracks of the rocks on the cliff. It rained so heavily these days that the rocks have become loose. I dare not go up to pick them." Yi Huaizhong said silently with an embarrassed look on his face.

Yan Silan glanced at the honest man with disdain and said angrily, "You think the money is too little? I'll give you an extra 2 cents per pound. Hurry up! If the big boss leaves, this wave of business will be gone!"

"If you don't want the money, then I can only give it to someone else." She added at the end, seemingly in anger.

In fact, Yan Silan knew very well that with such heavy rain, not only Yi Huaizhong, but none of the herbalists on the mountain dared to go up in such weather.

But who made Yi Huaizhong's family the poorest?

The family has no food to eat and has four children to support, so each of them needs money.

Yan Silan had heard her sister complain that although Yi Congxin was adopted, he had the best academic performance. Although she also worked as a tutor to save up tuition, the bulk of the money still came from Yi Huaizhong's income from collecting herbs and farming.

Yi Congxin was about to graduate from university in a year, but was still more than 200 yuan short of tuition for the final year.

There is also my youngest sister and my youngest son, one will get married in the future, and the other will find a wife...

Yan Silan grasped Yi Huaizhong's sore spot and responded in such a light tone.

Yi Huaizhong gritted his teeth and sighed, "Can you add a little more per pound? 3 cents is okay?"

"Okay, okay, you are my brother-in-law after all." Yan Silan responded casually.

When she turned around, she sneered in her heart: "Idiot."

What is wild golden thread vine? It is the "giant panda of the medicine world"!

One of the ten great immortal herbs, a tribute to the emperor in ancient times!

When the time comes, she will bargain with the herbal medicine dealer. Not to mention 3 or 5 cents, even if she adds 5, 10, or 20 yuan, she is afraid that the other party will think she has added too little.

In this way, Yan Silan deceived and coaxed Yi Huaizhong into going up the mountain in the rain.

But who would have known that it was during that time that Yi Huaizhong broke his leg, and the heavy rain delayed his discovery and treatment.

When Yi Huaizhong was carried home by the villagers, he was less than half dead.

After that, her sister Yan Erping came to borrow money for medical treatment. She was afraid that the money would be thrown into the bottomless pit of IKEA, so she only took out 50 yuan and sent the silly girl away.

And Yi Congxin's words, one by one, pierced into her heart like a sharp knife.

And that loud thunder!

The sycamore branch that was struck by lightning!

Yan Silan had no idea how she got home that day. As soon as she got home, she developed a high fever and started talking nonsense.

As soon as she closed her eyes, all she could see was Yi Congxin's black eyes that frightened her to the point that even her soul trembled.

Occasionally, when I didn’t dream of Yi Congxin, I would dream of Yi Huaizhong squatting in a corner of the room, silently chanting: “Add another 3 cents… Add another 3 cents…”

As the saying goes, "If you don't do anything wrong in your life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night." But Yan Silan has not done anything good over the years.

There is still a lot of cheating and fraud.

Yan Silan was absent-minded and unable to sleep or eat for several days at home. She sought help from a "living immortal" to exorcise the ghost and took a lot of Chinese and Western medicine before she started to feel better.

The store has been supported by her disappointing husband these days. However, the dead man who only thinks about eating, drinking, whoring and gambling is trapped in the shop. He has been fed up with it for a long time and keeps complaining when he gets home:

"What the hell is wrong with you? Who would have the time to stand in the rain for two hours? You really asked for it!"

A few days ago, Yan Silan was so anxious and angry that she could only lie in bed with no solution. Today, as soon as she felt better, she came to the store immediately.

Although the man was annoying, he was quite obedient and had recruited a lot of new guys for her in the past few days.

It's time to do something big.

She signed a "betting agreement" with the boss Yang Jinfa!

That's a life and death certificate!

Boss Yang Jinfa is very wealthy. In addition to occasionally purchasing some fresh wild medicinal herbs from her, he is also very familiar with the medicinal herb merchants in Bozhou and Anhe. Not only can he find spot goods from all over the country, he also has a lot of cash in his hands.

In the past two years, her store on this street had difficulties in running, and her husband also lost a lot of money gambling, which made her very worried.

It is impossible for a bank to lend money to a small store like theirs, and the usurious loans from the public... the interest rates are frighteningly high, and the little money they earn is not enough to pay back the principal and interest.

It was also at that time that she was introduced to Boss Yang, who said, "If you need money, don't look for anyone else. I'm your investor. I'll lend you money without you having to pay back a penny of principal or interest."

Let’s just say, is this temptation great?

Yan Silan thought that Yang Jinfa was a kind-hearted person, and that he was sent by the gods and Bodhisattvas to save her. But Yang Jinfa said something else that really scared her and made her break out in a cold sweat.

"I'll sign a bet with you. I'll lend you 3 yuan to continue running your pharmacy for two years.

"Within these two years, I don't want a penny, but your business turnover must exceed 6 yuan, and the most important thing is that the profit must exceed 3 yuan.

"I don't care how you do it, but if you achieve it, I'll consider the 3 yuan as my investment, and you'll give me a 25% dividend every year for two years. But if you can't, I'm sorry, you have to give me this pharmacy as compensation and another 2 yuan."

Yan Silan was stunned on the spot.

Is there any other way to play like this?

It's so scary.
