Chapter 143 True and False Gastrodia

Seeing that Ning Zhao's bowl was empty, Jiang Yuwei took the bowl from him and filled another bowl of rice and handed it to him:

"You need to study hard and eat well. Your health is important. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. We can still afford the money for your studies."

Ning Zhao nodded and stopped talking. No one noticed that his tears flowed into the bowl when he lowered his head to eat rice.

After finishing their meal, everyone went back to their rooms and went to sleep.

next day

As soon as Jiang Yuwei opened her eyes, she heard Aunt Zhou shouting outside the yard:

"Yuwei, I brought you a puppy! Come out and see it!"

Jiang Yuwei quickly put on her clothes and went out of the house, only to see that the idiot had already opened the courtyard gate for Aunt Zhou and was holding a black puppy in his arms, carefully stroking the puppy's head. The puppy didn't bark while lying in the idiot's arms, and seemed to be enjoying the idiot's stroking as it closed its eyes.

Jiang Yuwei wanted to reach out and hug him to take a look, but the idiot turned his body and looked at Jiang Yuwei warily:

"Puppy, this is mine, no one is allowed to touch it."

Jiang Yuwei was helpless. Well, let's just think of it as finding a companion for the fool. Jiang Yuwei looked at Aunt Zhou and smiled:

"Aunt Zhou, this puppy looks good. We'll keep it. Wait a minute, I'll get you something. I also want you to give it to Uncle Ning to thank him for the puppy."

Jiang Yuwei went into the house, took down two pieces of bacon from the beam, wrapped them up, took them out and handed them to Aunt Zhou:

"Aunt Zhou, here are two pieces of bacon, one for you and Uncle Ning's family. Don't think it's too little. Recently, my family has set up a spicy hot pot stall, and the meat at home has been almost used up. There is not much bacon left. Fortunately, I pickled it myself, and it tastes great. You can take it home and try it."

Aunt Zhou waved her hand and said:

"What are you saying? We are neighbors. I have helped you with such a small favor. Do I have to eat your bacon? I will take Ningbo's piece and send it to him later. I don't need my piece. I have meat at home."

Jiang Yuwei pretended to be angry and said:

"That won't do. If you don't want the bacon, you can take the puppy back with you."

When the fool heard that someone was going to steal his puppy, he hurriedly carried the dog into the wing room:

"No, you can't take my pup away!"

Jiang Yuwei looked at the idiot's back helplessly, then looked at Aunt Zhou and smiled:

"Look, even a fool wouldn't be happy about it. Aunt Zhou, please accept it quickly. I have to go to town with Huaizhi now, so I won't keep you at home for tea."

Aunt Zhou also laughed and said:

"Okay, then I'll keep it for now, and I'll also try your bacon-curing skills."

Jiang Yuwei smiled as she sent Aunt Zhou away, and went to the backyard to drive the ox cart out. She was not going to bring Ning Zhao and Ning Wan with her to the town this time, so she let them stay at home and play with the idiot, and she and Ning Huaizhi would go.

Ning Huaizhi had finished his breakfast and packed up. Jiang Yuwei first helped Ning Huaizhi onto the ox cart, then went to the backyard to explain some things, and then she went to the town with Ning Huaizhi with peace of mind.

The two of them arrived in the town and went straight to Huichun Hall on North Street. As soon as they entered, Jiang Yuwei saw a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes sitting in the hall.

"Doctor Lin, I trust you the most. You must cure my mother's illness, otherwise I will live in your Huichun Hall."

Doctor Lin frowned when he heard this:

"Mr. Sun, please don't make things difficult for an old man like me. You said that your family is big and prosperous, so you can find a good doctor easily. I really can't do anything to treat your old lady's illness. Instead of wasting time here, you might as well go out and visit more people to see if you can find a hundred-year-old Gastrodia elata to treat your old lady."

After hearing this, Mr. Sun frowned and said:

"If I could find that century-old Gastrodia elata you mentioned, why would I bother you? I have tried my best, but all the people I sent out returned empty-handed. I even asked someone in the ghost market to help me find this herb at a high price, but a month has passed, and there is still no news. Seeing that my mother's illness is getting worse, I have no other choice but to find you, Doctor Lin, please help me and help me think of a solution."

Jiang Yuwei heard the conversation between the two in the lobby and hurried forward to ask:

"Excuse me, how old is the Gastrodia elata you need?"

Mr. Sun raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yuwei, then waved his hand impatiently:

"Don't ask me nonsense, I'm very worried!"

Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:

"Perhaps I can help you?"

Mr. Sun looked at Jiang Yuwei suspiciously and sneered:

"Just you? Stop making trouble and do what you need to do."

Jiang Yuwei frowned and looked at Doctor Lin and said slowly:

"Doctor Lin, I am not here today just to heal Huaizhi's wounds. I also have a 500-year-old Tianma here and I would like you to take a look at its quality and how much silver it is worth."

Doctor Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Mr. Sun who was sitting next to him:

"Oh, did you hear what I just said to Doctor Lin? How can a village woman like you have a 500-year-old Tianma? You have deceived me?"

Doctor Lin shook his head helplessly:

"Mr. Sun, please say less."

Then he turned to look at Jiang Yuwei and said with a smile:

"Yuwei, quickly take out the Gastrodia elata and show it to me."

Jiang Yuwei looked at Mr. Sun's disdainful expression and said to Doctor Lin:

"I can show it to you, but I have to make one thing clear. If Doctor Lin takes this Gastrodia elata and wants to sell it to that person, I will never agree. Can you agree to that?"

Doctor Lin looked at Mr. Sun with a worried look on his face after hearing this, but Mr. Sun sneered:

"Bah, I don't know if it's Gastrodia elata or not, and you still want to sell it to me. I won't accept it even if you beg me to. How can a village woman like you know what Gastrodia elata is?"

Doctor Lin saw this and said:

"That's enough, Mr. Sun, please stop talking. Yuwei has come to me to sell Gastrodia elata before. Okay, let's not talk about Yuwei for now. Show me the Gastrodia elata first."

Jiang Yuwei nodded and handed the wrapped Gastrodia elata to Doctor Lin. After hearing what Doctor Lin said, Mr. Sun became curious and came over to see what was going on. Doctor Lin carefully opened the handkerchief, and inside lay a thick and excellent-looking Gastrodia elata. Mr. Sun was shocked.

Doctor Lin ignored him, but carefully picked up the Gastrodia elata and observed it for a while, then said happily:

"Yuwei, this Gastrodia elata is not the 500-year-old Gastrodia elata you mentioned!"

After hearing what Doctor Lin said, Mr. Sun snorted coldly and moved away:

"I told you that you dared to brag that what you brought was 500-year-old Gastrodia elata. Doctor Lin could tell the authenticity at a glance. Stop lying here. Why don't you do something else with your energy?"
