When Chen Haoxuan asked this question, Chen Meng’er could feel that the discussion around her had become much quieter. Chen Meng’er guessed that everyone’s ears were perked up, waiting for her answer.

Chen Meng’er looked at Chen Haoxuan, who was waiting for her answer with his eyes wide open, and a hint of craftiness flashed across her eyes. “I won’t tell you.” After saying that, Chen Meng’er ran to her mother’s side and held her mother’s hand. “Mom, let’s go in.”

After entering the house, Elder Liu looked at the shabby home. He was quite surprised, but after the shock, he could understand. Why else would Chen Meng’er and her father sell the wild ginseng that was at least a hundred years old?

“Elder Liu, please have some tea.” Liu Juan took out their best bowl, filled two bowls of water, and handed it to Elder Liu and the driver.

“Thank you.” Elder Liu took it and thanked him.

“Elder Liu, I’m really sorry. Our house is quite simple. We don’t have any tea leaves or cups.” Chen Ping thought of Elder Liu’s yard and rubbed his head awkwardly.

“It’s fine. I think it’s quite good.” Elder Liu waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t mind.

After Elder Liu drank a mouthful of water, he looked up at Chen Meng’er. “Meng’er, where’s the book you mentioned? Bring Your Grandpa Liu to have a look.” Elder Liu was worried about the ancient medical skills. Now that they had reached their destination, he couldn’t sit still anymore.

Chen Meng’er saw that Elder Liu was here, and her parents were all restless. She went along with Elder Liu’s wishes and said, “Alright, then come with me, Grandpa Liu. Come to my room. I’ll bring it to you.”

“Alright, alright.” When Elder Liu heard this, he excitedly put down the bowl and said to Chen Ping and Liu Juan, “You two are busy. I’ll go with Meng’er.”

“Yes, alright.” Liu Juan was a little confused as she replied.

After Elder Liu left with Chen Meng’er, they went to the room where Chen Meng’er and her siblings slept. After the driver found an excuse to leave, Liu Juan asked, “Little Ping, what is this book Elder Liu is talking about? When did Meng’er have a book? How come I don’t Know?”

“I don’t know either.” “I don’t know either.” Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan also joined in.

“I’m not very clear about this matter. Let’s ask Meng’er later.” Chen Ping was excited when he thought about the money in the sack. He wanted someone to share his current mood with him. “Little Juan, guess how much the ginseng Meng’er found was sold for?”

“600?” Liu Juan saw her husband’s excited expression and guessed that the price was not low.

“That’s not right.” Chen Ping shook his head. Then, he extended his hand to his wife.

“500?” Liu Juan looked at her husband’s hand and guessed. Chen Ping still shook his head,

“Little Juan, open that sack. Go and see what’s inside.” Chen Ping still kept her guessing.

And when Chen Ping said this… His son, Chen Haoxuan, moved very quickly. He said, “I’ll go.” He had already rushed to the sack. He had already squatted down to untie the rope tied to the sack.

Chen Haoxuan could not hide his curiosity and also went forward. Actually, it was not only the brothers who were curious. Liu Juan was also curious about what was inside the sack. She also walked over. Only Chen Ping was smiling. He crossed his legs and drank the water that his wife had just poured for him.

“Oh my God, this, this.” Chen Haoxuan untied the rope and opened the sack. When he saw the things inside, he was so shocked that he could not speak. He had seen ten-yuan notes before. But he had only seen them a few times, so his impression was very deep. And now, there were stacks and stacks of ten-yuan notes. How could he not be surprised?

Seeing Chen Haoxuan being so surprised. Chen Haoguo and Liu Juan were even more curious. The two of them pulled Chen Haoxuan, who was completely stunned, apart and moved closer. And when they saw what was inside clearly, their reactions and expressions were exactly the same as Chen Haoxuan’s.

Liu Juan calmed down a little and turned to look at her husband, who was crossing his legs and drinking water. She asked, “Little Ping, what’s going on? Where did you get so much money?” When Liu Juan asked this, her tone was serious, and she did not seem to be excited about the huge sum of money.

Chen Ping knew his wife very well. When he saw her expression, he knew that she had the wrong idea. He did not want to drink the tea anymore. He quickly stood up and explained to his wife, “Little Juan, you know me. Am I the kind of person who would commit a crime? Don’t worry. This money came from a normal source. This money was earned by selling the ginseng that Meng’er dug up in the back mountain. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Elder Liu. We sold it to him.”

“You mean, that ginseng sold for so much money?” Liu Juan knew that her husband wouldn’t lie to her. However, she never expected that the ginseng would be so valuable..
