Chapter Thirteen

  Zhang Jinggen has arrived, and Cheng Zihan doesn't have the leisure to care about what's going on with Cheng Huiling and him. Anyway, Cheng Zihan knows that in this era, ordinary people won't easily get divorced no matter how big a deal it is. It's just that from now on, Cheng Huiling's life will probably be tough.

  The house was in an uproar, with Cheng Huiling's wailing filling my ears. Lai Ying and Cheng Shihao didn't say much, after all, such a shameful matter also made them lose face.

  Cheng Hui-ling followed Zhang Jin-gen back home, and the house also quieted down.

  "The woman has finally left, ah, the world is so quiet." Cheng Huiling's departure made Cheng Zihan feel a sense of relief in her heart, but at the same time, she was also a bit worried.

  The money for bidding on the riverbank land has not been settled yet, and there are only three days left.

  "Zixi, let's go out and have some fun." After lying in bed for a while, Cheng Zihan finally jumped up, pulled up Cheng Zixi, and dragged her to run outside.

  The money won't come on its own if you stay at home, so it's better to go out and take a look around to see if there's any way.

  Qin Kexiu still didn't speak, he had been silent for almost a day, and Cheng Zihan began to feel some worry.

  Bei River Dam has not been repaired at this time, the road surface is all bumpy, and recently there has been more rainwater, with some water accumulated in the potholes.

  Cheng Zihan found a relatively clean spot to sit down, and Cheng Zixi ran off to play by herself. After a while, she came running back with a few small flowers in her hand, "Sister, look at these beautiful flowers."

  Cheng Zihan glanced at it carelessly, and indeed it was quite pretty, a small blue flower with yellow stamens. This kind of wildflower was everywhere, not rare at all.

  Seeing Cheng Zixi's eager appearance, Cheng Zihan couldn't help but smile and took the flower from her. Cheng Zixi then ran off to pick other wildflowers by herself.

  "Huh?" At this time, Qin Kexiu, who had been silent all along, finally reacted and floated out of the jade pendant in a moment, looking at the grass in front of Cheng Zihuan.

  Cheng Zihan glanced at him and saw that his situation seemed to be not bad, at least he didn't look as lost as before. He then asked gruffly: "You're willing to come out now?"

  Qin Kesou turned his head to look at Cheng Zihan, nodded, and didn't say a word. He squatted down and carefully examined the grass in front of him, as if he had discovered something.

  Cheng Zihan also walked over curiously and asked, "Hey, what are you looking at? Is there gold here?"

  Cheng Zihan took a look and didn't find anything special, but instead saw a kind of medicinal material, so she casually pulled it up.

  This medicinal herb is also known as Dú Jiǎo Jīn, and some people call it Chuān Jī Cǎo or Huáng Huā Cǎo. It's often used because it grows abundantly on the embankment. The soil here was brought from the mountains to fill the embankment, so many mountain herbs can be found here. Those who know their stuff will collect and store them at home for later use. Dú Jiǎo Jīn is effective in tonifying the spleen, opening up appetite, and relieving food stagnation in children, especially during summer when the weather is hot and kids are picky eaters. Adults will often steam some lean meat or pig liver with this herb to feed their kids.

  Cheng Zihan only realized that Qin Kexiu had been staring at her after she finished washing up, and she instinctively touched her face, thinking that there might be some dirt on it.

  "What am I doing?"

  "Cheng Zihan, do you know what this thing is?" Qin Kexiu looked at Cheng Zihan with a ghostly expression.

  Cheng Zihan nodded, "I know, it's a one-legged golden rooster."

  "Then do you know what its function is?"

  "It seems to be able to invigorate the spleen, open up the stomach, dispel food stagnation, and also has a slight cooling effect. What's wrong?" Cheng Zihan replied while rummaging through the nearby grass clumps. Based on her experience, there should be more around here. Sure enough, she soon discovered another small cluster of well-grown Jin Qian Bai.

  In April, the single-legged goldenrod was just in bloom, and several small yellow flowers had opened. Cheng Zihan carefully pulled them out one by one, shook off the dirt, and then carefully put them away. The harvest wasn't bad, and it should be enough for Cheng Zixi to eat for a few meals.

  "Do you know how much this thing sells for in the city?" Qin Kexiu looked at Cheng Zihan's skilled movements, clearly not doing this kind of thing for the first time.

  "Is it expensive?" Cheng Zihan really didn't know. She rarely paid attention to such things.

  "If it were eighteen years later, I estimate it would be three or four hundred yuan per catty. Now, it should also sell for over a hundred yuan." Qin Kexiu thought for a moment before responding.

  "That's not worth much either." It was only a hundred or so, and Cheng Zihan thought it could be sold for over a thousand.

  Qin Ke looked at Cheng Zihan with a hint of disdain, then said speechlessly: "Cheng Zihan, do you know that one hundred and several tens of yuan is already quite good? Moreover, it seems like there's still a lot here."

  Qin Kexiu had just finished speaking when Cheng Zihan gave him a white eye, "Qin Kexiu, you're talking nonsense! What we need now is tens of thousands of yuan, not tens of yuan, okay? And even if there are many here, how can I possibly collect them all by myself? Plus, this thing is so light and airy, it doesn't weigh much. Even if I collected everything within a few kilometers around here, it wouldn't be more than a few kilograms."

  "Idiot! We're not expecting to make a fortune with this! We just need some start-up capital! A few dozen yuan is still money, isn't it? Have you forgotten what I do?" Qin Kexiu looked at Cheng Zihan with some disappointment and frustration, if he wasn't in his current state where he couldn't hit people, he would definitely give Cheng Zihan a good beating.

  "It seems that..." Cheng Zihan said, pausing for a moment, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at Qin Kexiu, "You have a way to turn tens of dollars into thousands in just three days?"

  Even if Cheng Zihan knew that Qin Kexiu's previous life was in finance, a direct profit of several tens of times in just three days is still too far-fetched.

  "Of course."

  Qin Kexiu was quite confident.

  "Alright! I'll get someone over right away to help pick the golden lotus!"
