Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

After Wen Tang finished speaking, Feng Jiao subconsciously wanted to let go of him.

But Wen Tang was very self-aware; after speaking, she made a effort to stand up straight and said, "Thank you, sister!"

"If my sister hadn't caught me today, I would have definitely fallen flat on my face."

She was open and honest, and even if she wanted to sell something privately, she didn't try to hide it. Most importantly, she was very pretty, which greatly increased Feng Jiao's goodwill towards her.

So he asked, "Could I take a look at your... He Shou Wu?"

Wen Tang nodded, "Sure!"

As she spoke, she opened her crossbody bag and said, "Sis, if you don't mind, I'll break off a little for you." She didn't say she would give it all away, but she was willing to break off a small portion.

Feng Jiao laughed and said, "If you break it, it won't be worth anything!"

This type of Chinese medicinal herb emphasizes its integrity.

"Oh, it might not even sell. I'll give half to you as a way of repaying your kindness in saving me!"

As she spoke, the over 100-year-old he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) was displayed before Feng Jiao's eyes.

“It’s really wild,” Feng Jiao said, touching it with her hand.

Wen Tang nodded, "Of course, how could this be a lie?"

"So how much are you planning to sell this for?" Feng Jiao asked.

Wen Tang shook her head. "I don't know, I've never sold any." She scratched her head as she spoke. "Besides, I've been sitting here for half a day, and nobody wants any. I guess I won't be able to sell any."

"Then sell it to me?" Feng Jiao asked.

Wen Tang's eyes widened.

Her expression amused Feng Jiao. "What's wrong?"

"Silly?"

How about you sell it to me?

Wen Tang was originally going to sell it to her.

But she couldn't show it, so she stammered excitedly, "...Sister, do you...do you really want it?"

Feng Jiao nodded with a smile.

Wen Tang wrapped the newspaper in a bag and stuffed it into her bag.

But Feng Jiao's bag was worn on her wrist and was very small; it was impossible for it to hold a he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) that was over a hundred years old.

Wen Tang quickly put it back into her crossbody bag. "Sister, which ward is Uncle in? I'll take him there," Wen Tang said in a low voice.

Feng Jiao glanced at her bag, then at the he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) that Wen Tang had put away, and nodded, "Okay, then come with me!"

Feng Jiao went first, followed by Wen Tang, and the two of them entered the ward for senior cadres one after the other.

Feng Jiao told Wen Tang to wait in the waiting room outside the ward, and then went into the inner room herself.

Wen Tang didn't know what it looked like inside. She sat obediently on the sofa outside, not daring to peek out or even look around.

Unexpectedly, she actually found a benefactor.

Wen Tang sat outside, admiring her own judgment.

Feng Jiao went in for about half an hour before coming out.

Seeing that Wen Tang was still sitting obediently, he smiled and said, "Have you been waiting long?"

Wen Tang quickly shook her head. "No, it felt like I only sat for a short while." She smiled.

Feng Jiao smiled and said, "Don't be shy, just be the same as before."

Wen Tang nodded and took out the Polygonum multiflorum from her bag while Feng Jiao was washing her hands.

Sitting in the ward, where there were no people coming and going, Feng Jiao opened the newspaper and carefully examined the he shou wu that Wen Tang had brought. She said, "Judging from the color and the texture, it must be more than 500 years old, right?"

"It's wild..." Feng Jiao pondered, "How about this, I won't take advantage of you, I'll give you three thousand?"

Wen Tang was truly shocked. She waved her hands frantically, "No, no, no, we don't need that much."

"I...I was just thinking of selling it for five hundred yuan." She said softly.

Feng Jiao said, "That won't do. This is from this year, and it's wild. If I charge you 500, wouldn't that be bullying you?"

"Then...then it doesn't need to be three thousand."

Her expression didn't seem fake, so Feng Jiao laughed and said, "You silly child, how can you refuse money offered to you?"

Wen Tang smiled shyly, "Hehe, I love money, but I can't just take it all, that's called greed."

As Feng Jiao listened to her words, her eyes showed even more affection for her. "You're a child who isn't greedy."

"How old is this year?"

"21."

"Married?"

"Okay, it's settled."

What does your husband do?

"Are you from your area too?"

"Yes, he's from our area, but he's a soldier, and he lives in Haishi."

"A soldier? Still in Haishi?"

"Mm," Wen Tang nodded.

"What's your name?"

"His surname is Gu, and his name is Gu Yanli."

"Gu Yanli, that's a good name."

"Well then, since you insist on not taking the three thousand, let's compromise and go for two thousand."

Wen Tang waved her hand again, "No, sister, it's still too much."

"I wanted to sell them for some money, but there are just too many of them."

"Sister, you don't know, two thousand yuan can build a very, very big house in our area, and even a big, beautiful yard would be more than enough."

"Just one He Shou Wu is really too much."

Her honest words won Feng Jiao's favor once again: "The money needed to build the house has nothing to do with this; it's this he shou wu in your hand that's worth this price."

"Alright, it'll be two thousand yuan, just like I said."

As she spoke, she took out a hundred-yuan bill and ten ten-yuan notes from her bag. Then, she said apologetically, "This is all I have on me for now. Consider this a deposit for you."

"Come find me here tomorrow, around this time, and I'll give you the rest of the money."

"If you're still worried, you can take this he shou wu back with you first."

Wen Tang immediately pushed He Shou Wu to her side, "Sister, I believe you."

She stood up and said, "Then I won't bother you any longer, I'll be going now."

The he shou wu was sold, earning 500 yuan more than she had expected, and Wen Tang was humming a song as she walked.

Wen Tang wasn't unaware of the value of wild Polygonum multiflorum, but everyone was poor these days!

Who would be willing to spend thousands of dollars on a single Chinese medicinal herb?

It's just for nourishing the body, not for actually curing the disease.

So she's willing to sell it for a thousand.

But I never thought I'd sell it for three thousand.

At most, 1,500, that's the most she could get. That was what she had originally expected.

I never expected to actually meet a wealthy woman who gave me two thousand right away, and that was only because she strongly objected; otherwise, I could have given her three thousand.

What a stroke of good fortune!

You may encounter helpful people when you go out, but you may also meet villains.

Humming a song, Wen Tang skipped and hopped out of the hospital, heading out to eat.

She was already starving, and after waiting for half an hour in the ward with Feng Jiao, she was completely stuffed. She had to find a state-run restaurant to have a good meal.

But just as she hopped to the hospital entrance, she was bumped into head-on.

Wen Tang was so happy that she didn't really pay attention to where she was going, so she immediately apologized, "I'm sorry!"

But the other person immediately cursed, "Are you blind?!"

Wen Tang looked over and found that she had met an acquaintance.

Tu Manman and Zhang Qingqing helped Su Xiuxiu.

The person she just bumped into was Su Xiuxiu, and the one who called her "blind" was Zhang Qingqing.

Before Wen Tang could even speak, Tu Manman frowned and asked, "Did you deliberately bump into me because you're Xiuxiu?"

Wen Tang "..."

Tu Manman continued, "I admit that Xiuxiu had feelings for Battalion Commander Gu, but that was all in the past."

"She injured her foot today, why are you causing trouble at a time like this?"

Wen Tang "..."
