Landlady who likes to hoard land

On Saturday afternoon, Wang Chengyu made time to take his parents to see Master Xie for a pulse diagnosis and to get a prescription to help them regulate their bodies.

Originally, Wang's mother was supposed to go right after her surgery, but Director Zhu suggested that she wait two or three months after chemotherapy to recover before going.

She followed Director Zhu's advice and has been delaying it until now.

Wang Chengyu told Xu Wen and Xu Yao to play at Xu's mother's house while she took her parents to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

When Xu Yao heard that they were going to take his grandparents to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, he immediately became interested and insisted on going along.

After a moment's thought, Wang Chengyu decided to take him there so that he could see what real traditional Chinese medicine was like and broaden his horizons.

Xu Wen said he wasn't interested and chose to watch TV at his maternal grandmother's house. He has recently become obsessed with period dramas and war films.

Wang Chengyu was puzzled. How could a junior high school student like to watch this kind of TV series? In her impression, older people would prefer this kind of drama.

The key point is that he doesn't just watch it once; he watches it two or three times. When he encounters a scene he likes, he will pause, rewind, and watch it repeatedly.

Despite his doubts, Wang Chengyu didn't stop him. This was Xu Wen's only extracurricular activity, and he only had time to watch it on weekends. During the week, he was too busy with his studies to have any time for it, so Wang Chengyu just let him do it.

Having already arranged a time with Mr. Xie in advance, Wang Chengyu drove directly there.

"Dad, Mom, Mr. Xie is very kind. You don't need to be nervous. He just takes your pulse, writes a prescription, and it will be over quickly."

Wang Chengyu reassured his parents, worried that they were anxious.

"Don't be nervous. This is our first time visiting their home, and we've prepared gifts to thank them for helping your sister Chenghua with her health."

"Please stop at the supermarket up ahead. We need to buy some things."

Ms. Wang was afraid of troubling others, so she always wanted to personally thank Mr. Xie for helping to improve Wang Chenghua's health.

“Your mother is right. We’re always troubling people. We should go to the supermarket to buy them cigarettes and alcohol as a thank you gift! They don’t need to give them away themselves.”

Mr. Wang spoke up.

"Dad, Mom, we don't need to go to the supermarket. I've prepared everything; it's in the trunk! You can rest assured."

"It must have cost a lot of money. Even if you have money, you should spend it sparingly! We can't even spend all the pocket money you give us every month. We can pay for our own social obligations in the future."

Wang's mother started talking about Wang Chengyu again.

All four siblings are now able to earn money, and each of them gives their elderly parents 1,000 yuan a month.

Four children mean four thousand yuan a month.

They had no loans to repay, and few social obligations; Wang Chenggong paid for all the household utilities, including water, electricity, and gas.

The grains, oils, rice, noodles, vegetables, and fruits were mostly taken by the three Wang sisters.

Four thousand yuan is enough for their daily expenses, and they can even save a lot each month.

The elderly couple are very content with their current life.

"Your daughter is capable of earning money; she doesn't care about such a small amount!"

Wang Chengyu brought fruit and ginseng for Xie Lao. There were many ginsengs in her space herb garden, but to avoid attracting attention, she chose a 50-year-old ginseng.

Old Xie helped her a lot and even secured so much land for her; this ginseng was just a small token of his appreciation.

After Wang Chengyu said that, Wang's parents no longer insisted.

The journey to Xie Lao Studio went smoothly. Mr. and Mrs. Wang were a little reserved, so Wang Chengyu comforted them.

Xiao Ni was the one who greeted them. Wang Chengyu handed over the fruit he had brought and asked her to wash some fruit for them to eat.

"Xiao Ni, could you please help wash some of them? You can share the rest."

"Thank you, Sister Chengyu. Old Master Xie isn't finished yet, he'll be done soon. Please go inside and wait a while."

"No need to go inside and wait, let's wait in the yard for a while and soak up some sun." The spring sun is warm and feels very comfortable on the skin.

Xiao Ni brought out stools for the group and had them sit in the courtyard to wait.

She happily went to wash the fruit. She loved the fruit that Wang Chengyu brought; how to put it? It tasted better than ordinary fruit, it really tasted like fruit.

Since entering the courtyard, Xu Yao's eyes have been overwhelmed by the sight of all the medicinal herbs drying in the sun, and he doesn't know where to look.

He simply couldn't sit still for more than five minutes; he couldn't stay still any longer and started looking around the yard curiously.

There are very few fresh medicinal herbs to be dried this season; most of them are herbs that have been processed before being turned over for drying.

Herbs like Salvia miltiorrhiza, Coptis chinensis, Bupleurum chinense, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Lonicera japonica are commonly used Chinese medicinal herbs in spring.

Dried tangerine peel, lily bulbs, cinnamon twigs, codonopsis... are also very common.

Xu Yao had already learned how to identify Chinese medicinal herbs, but he had never seen them in real life. Today was the first time he had seen them, so he was inevitably quite excited.

"Xu Yao, just look, don't do anything!"

Wang Chengyu gave instructions.

"Okay, Mom, this is Danshen, right?"

"Mom, this is Bupleurum..."

Xu Yaoyang agreed loudly, and not only identified each one, but also loudly announced the name of the medicine after identification so that Wang Chengyu could confirm whether his identification was correct.

Seeing his excited expression, Wang Chengyu agreed while thinking that Xu Yao was truly suited to the path of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Mom, look, is this Codonopsis pilosula? Salvia miltiorrhiza and Codonopsis pilosula look alike... This Pseudostellaria heterophylla looks like a worm... Oh, there's also red ginseng, Mom, the book says that women are suitable to eat red ginseng and children are suitable to eat Pseudostellaria heterophylla..."

Xu Yao kept chattering away, even when Wang Chengyu didn't reply, he kept asking and answering his own questions.

Wang Chengyu then questioned whether his extroverted personality was suitable for studying traditional Chinese medicine. Studying traditional Chinese medicine requires quiet and focused study...

The entire courtyard was filled with Xu Yao's voice. The originally quiet environment became noisy with Xu Yao's chattering.

"Keep your voice down, it needs to be quiet here. Don't disturb other people's work."

Wang Chengyu noticed someone peeking into the yard through the window, so he spoke up to warn Xu Yao.

"Don't be quiet! I rarely have children here, it's unusual for it to be so lively!"

Old Xie had finished his work and come out to take a look around some time ago. He could hear Xu Yao's clear voice from inside the house and guessed that it was the child that Wang Chengyu had brought.

Only after they came out did they realize that it was Xu Yao, the youngest son of Wang Chengyu.

He had come across a video online of Wang Chengyu teaching his two sons Tai Chi and Baduanjin. That's why he recognized him immediately.

He had envied Old Chen for a long time, not only for taking on Wang Chengyu, a genius-level apprentice, but also for taking on two such promising talents, Wang Chengyu's sons.

I didn't expect to find out today that Xu Yao is actually interested in traditional Chinese medicine. Judging from his familiarity with medicinal herbs, he doesn't seem like someone who has just started learning.

Upon hearing Xie Lao speak, Wang Chengyu realized that Xie Lao had somehow appeared next to her, and quickly introduced him to him.

"Mr. Xie, are you done with your work? Dad, Mom, this is the Mr. Xie I was telling you about."

"Mr. Xie, these are my parents. And that little brat who runs around your yard like a loudspeaker is my youngest son, Xu Yao."

Wang's parents greeted him somewhat reservedly.

"Mr. Xie, I'm so sorry to trouble you again today! And thank you for helping my youngest daughter, Xie Chenghua, with her health before!"

Mr. Xie waved his hand, his tone warm and relaxed.

"I'm so glad to finally meet you. You've raised a wonderful daughter."

I've always been curious about what kind of family could raise someone as outstanding as Chengyu.

Meeting the two of you today has cleared up my confusion.

"You two don't need to be so polite, it's nothing, don't worry about it!"

Mr. Xie's warm attitude put Mr. and Mrs. Wang's worries at ease.

Hearing the commotion, Xu Yao ran over, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Old Xie, completely at ease.

"Xu Yao, call out to Grandpa Xie!" Seeing Xu Yao approaching, Wang Chengyu told him to greet him.

"Hello, Grandpa Xie!" a clear, crisp voice called out.

His pure eyes were filled with admiration and curiosity!

"Hello, Xu Yao, do you recognize all the medicinal herbs in Grandpa Xie's yard?"

Old Xie looked at Xu Yao with affection; as people get older, they tend to like to teach others.

Seeing that a child as young as Xu Yao was interested in traditional Chinese medicine, he couldn't help but want to test his teaching skills.
