Chapter 265: Chapter 265

Gong Ruini lay on the bed and remembered something very important, "Brother, do you think I’ve done something really stupid?"

She initially thought Old Yuan just wanted to use her to sell his ginseng.

Now Gong Ruini realized that he directly schemed with Zhan Jing.

Using ginseng to win over Zhan Jing, alas, just thinking about it makes Gong Ruini want to cry. Old Yuan is really excessively unfair, going so far as to exploit a child to achieve his goals.

Gong Ruini felt that even an old man could be cunning, and especially bullying a child, it’s just too much.

Actually, Gong Ruini wasn’t that angry; she just felt Old Yuan had thoroughly deceived a child.

Gong Ruini was more worried about whether Old Yuan would only sell his ginseng to the Zhao Family in the future. If that were true, then she would be quite annoyed.

Having a good relationship with the Zhao Family is one thing, but when interests are involved, of course, one should consider carefully.

Gong Ruwen knew his sister’s mood wasn’t good. Anyone else wouldn’t be in a good mood either, but what’s done is done, and regardless of how unwilling Gong Ruini is, she can’t change the facts.

"It’s okay, Ni Zi, even without ginseng, it’s good to have our money saved," Gong Ruwen worried his sister would get caught in a funk, which was the worst thing.

Keeping money saved is not a good way to invest in ginseng, but with her brother worrying so much, even though Gong Ruini is unwilling, she can only hold back.

At that moment, Gong Ruini suddenly wanted to say let’s build a house. If we continue staying here, every time seeing Zhan Jing teach Yuan Chengjie, the mood will never be good.

"Ni Zi, are you okay?" Waiting for a long time without hearing his sister’s voice, Gong Ruwen became anxious, worried his silly sister might be crying under the covers.

"I’m fine." Gong Ruini felt a hundred grievances, really a terribly unlucky defeat. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel·fire·net

Moreover, she couldn’t vent about the Zhao Family’s excesses; she could only say Old Yuan Family’s actions were unethical, which made Gong Ruini regretful.

Zhao Guangran lay in the bed, feeling joyful, "Brother, do we really have three ginsengs in our family?"

Hahaha, that girl Gong Ruini schemed for so long, all just for a ginseng, yet unexpectedly it fell into our hands just like that.

"Yes, we have three. Tomorrow, mom will handle the herbs," Zhao Xuran was unsure what to do. Sneakily giving them would be fine, but now that they’re given, he doesn’t know how upset the little girl next door will be.

The little girl was always thinking of digging herbs to earn money, buy ginseng, and then sell it for more money later. Although she tried hard to control her emotions today, Zhao Xuran could see the little girl’s unhappy expression.

Zhao Guangran had no time or mood to worry about Gong Ruini’s feelings; in his view, this is a victory over Gong Ruini, "Brother, do you think mother’s medical skills are excellent?"

Zhao Guangran was always accustomed to treating people, but frankly, many times his mother didn’t earn money, only occasionally patients would bring some food, which Zhao Guangran didn’t see as valuable.

Seeing someone suddenly so generous just to have mom take on a student today shocked Zhao Guangran.

What a fool, Zhao Xuran couldn’t help but be glad Gong Ruini wasn’t there, otherwise who knows how she’d mock him, even though three ginsengs are valuable, wealthy people used to give grandpas so many benefits for treatment, and now this little compared to that.

"Are you tempted? You could study medicine with mom, and people would bring valuable gifts to you too." Zhao Xuran tried hard to persuade his recently money-obsessed brother.

Zhao Guangran was indeed tempted by the thought of receiving precious gifts after studying medicine, but after reconsidering, he gave up, "Brother, I won’t study it."

"I’m not interested. Brother, I’ve found what I want to do in the future: making money." Making money is fantastic, you can buy delicious food and invest in profitable things.

Zhao Guangran grasped that this was his future life’s joy, earning big money to eat more and better food.

Making money? Haha, Zhao Xuran was amused by this grand goal of his silly brother. He knew the boy was unreliable at times, but never imagined he’d be this unrealistic.

"Have you thought of how to make money?" Zhao Xuran, having spent some time with grandpa as a child, retained a little knowledge, though not much, knowing a person can’t just focus on making money.

Zhao Xuran didn’t feel their family had a strong desire for money. His father worked so hard everywhere not to earn money, but to improve the family’s life, yet how did his brother end up with a ’money money money’ mentality?

"Digging herbs, like Ni Zi said, actually earning money isn’t too hard," although Gong Ruini was someone Zhao Guangran despised, felt overshadowed by her, he still thought she was reliable in some things.

Making money isn’t hard... Gong Ruini said... Zhao Xuran could only chuckle. If making money were so easy, why do so many people want things beyond their reach? Isn’t it because making money is challenging?

"Brother, what Ni Zi said is correct, only those without ability think their parents or elders should earn more money for them."

"It’s only those who aren’t useful who think about their siblings’ money."

"Brother, I’m not useless; I’m working hard to make money now." Zhao Guangran claimed he was absolutely useful, "The money from selling herbs can be used to do other profitable jobs later."

Ah, where did my brother hear this from? Zhao Xuran doubted Zhao Guangran would come up with this himself, could it be Gong Ruini’s doing?

"Did Ni Zi tell you this too?" Zhao Xuran felt uneasy; why did Zhao Guangran know things that even he didn’t?

Ni Zi told him? Zhao Guangran puckered his lips, "She wouldn’t tell me this, but I think she might have other thoughts."

The ginseng business, now involving them, should have made Gong Ruini angry, yet she seemed indifferent, making Zhao Guangran sure she had other plans.

Listening to Zhao Guangran explain his reasoning left Zhao Xuran smiling, his brother really did think too simply.

Gong Ruini should have dissatisfaction in her heart, but she had no outlet for it. After all, the herb harvesting and processing were taught by their mom to the siblings, so as the saying goes, one must bow under another’s roof.

However, Zhao Xuran was quite curious about what Gong Ruini would do next. It was certain she wouldn’t just let it go, truly an anticipation.

Zhao Guangran wasn’t surprised his big brother didn’t respond, thinking he’d already fallen asleep. After yawning, he turned over, "Brother, I’m going to sleep too."

Tomorrow would be another busy day. Zhao Guangran suddenly remembered he forgot to ask if his brother planned to start classes, but to enjoy a good dream, he avoided asking those he’d prefer not to know.
