Happy Little Farmer
Chapter 18 - 18 18 Cordyceps

18: Chapter 18 Cordyceps 18: Chapter 18 Cordyceps Listening to Zhu Shanshan’s regretful whispers, Yang Fan really wanted to tilt his head and tell her, “Don’t worry, just go for it.

I definitely won’t mind.

I would like to explore, too.”

But, in the end, reason overpowered the impulse of the moment.

To aim for a long-term goal, he must suppress the small impulse at the moment.

As long as they maintained this state, there would certainly come a day when they could act without any inhibition.

But if Zhu Shanshan was frightened now, whether there would be a future opportunity was truly another matter altogether.

Zhu Shanshan leaned over and kissed Yang Fan’s lips, then reluctantly stood up and got dressed.

Her figure was beautiful, well-maintained with curves in all the right places, and her skin soft as silk.

No one would guess that she was a woman in her early thirties from any angle.

Zhu Shanshan wasn’t short of money, running a cosmetics company that produced purely traditional Chinese medicine formulations.

It was clear she was willing to invest both in her face and in her figure.

Yang Fan’s eyes shifted slightly, taking in her figure, then quickly averted his stealthy gaze.

He was afraid to look more, in case he was discovered.

This encounter today had thoroughly revealed another side of Zhu Shanshan to Yang Fan.

She was not simply unrestrained, but also uniquely pleasant.

After Zhu Shanshan had put on her clothes, she left, and Yang Fan heard the sound of the rolling shutter door.

To handle her needs, she had even specifically closed the door.

But it made sense, she wouldn’t dare to cry out unrestrainedly if the door wasn’t closed.

If any sound escaped, it would be strange if a crowd of onlookers didn’t gather at the door.

Yang Fan continued to lie down inside, thinking since he was pretending, he might as well do a thorough job, and decided to sleep for a while longer.

He had no idea what time it was, but clearly, roaming the streets that afternoon was out of the question.

After a brief nap and waking up, Yang Fan heard voices outside; Zhu Shanshan seemed to be settling accounts, as he got up from the bed and stretched leisurely.

Today was truly comfortable.

Comfortable in every way, and even the sleep was good.

Stepping into the outer room, Zhu Shanshan was paying two movers.

Seeing Yang Fan come out, she asked with a smile, “Awake now, Fanzi?”

Feigning ignorance, Yang Fan asked, “Sister-in-law, how did I end up asleep here?”

“Who knows?

I was thinking of having you rest a bit and then help me with some tasks.

But look at you, after drinking two cups of tea, you fell straight into sleep.

I’m really envious of that sleep quality, not even a second passed, and you were out,” Zhu Shanshan said with a hint of sultry mischief in her eyes, her face casual as she spoke to Yang Fan.

“I guess you were tired, so I couldn’t bear to wake you.

You’re all grown up, how can you still fall asleep like a child just like that?”

She was acting so convincingly.

Yang Fan muttered in bafflement, “Why can’t I remember anything at all?”

“You fell asleep instantly, what could you remember?” Zhu Shanshan said, chuckling softly, with a slight blush on her cheeks.

Though there was a hint of shyness, she appeared completely untroubled, just like nothing had happened.

Zhu Shanshan had dismissed the two workers and pointed to a pile of parts in the corner of the wall, “There is the cupboard, now that you’re awake, help your sister-in-law and keep an eye on the store.

I’m stepping out for a bit and will be back soon.”

Yang Fan glanced at the pile, and he had every reason to suspect that Zhu Shanshan bought that cupboard just to fool him.

The offer to help set it up might have been just a spur-of-the-moment excuse.

But whether it was an excuse or not, Yang Fan was too comfortable to care.

He actually hoped more such excuses would come along.

“Sister-in-law, go about your business.

I can handle this little task,” Yang Fan said with a smile.

Zhu Shanshan winked at Yang Fan, “Keep an eye out for customers for me, don’t chase them all away.”

“Got it.”

Yang Fan grabbed his tools and started working on the pile of parts.

Zhu Shanshan picked up her red handbag, sashaying out the door with her plump, perky buttocks, her smile as radiant as the spring sunshine.

However, her walk was a bit awkward, as she kept involuntarily squeezing her legs together.

Yang Fan watched her for a moment before turning his attention back to the task at hand.

The cupboard Zhu Shanshan bought clearly wasn’t carefully chosen.

The materials used were not very good, it only appeared fashionable and modern, giving off a hastily completed deal vibe.

The store had been quiet all day, but as Yang Fan was nearing completion, suddenly a girl who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen, timidly carrying a backpack, appeared at the entrance.

She had a ponytail and wore round-frame glasses, looking sweet and demure.

The girl peeked into the shop and asked softly, “Is anyone here?”

At that moment, Yang Fan was fitting the backboard of the cupboard.

He poked his head out and responded, “What do you need?”

“Oh, well…I have some herbs I’d like to sell, and I’m wondering if you buy them?” the girl asked carefully.

“What kind of herbs?” Yang Fan took off his gloves and came out, sizing up the girl and feeling a bit dazzled by her appearance.

This girl was genuinely pure.

Her face was fair, her features delicate, and she had a quiet demeanor with an intense scholarly vibe.

She looked like a high school student, and a student of her demeanor was likely among the top in her class at school.

The girl took off her backpack and pulled out a very neatly wrapped cloth bundle, laying it out on the table.

Yang Fan’s expression changed slightly as he saw what was inside.

It was Cordyceps!

And at a rough glance, it was not a small quantity, nearly about two hundred sticks.

The girl spoke very cautiously, “This is something my grandfather collected.

He recently fell ill and was hospitalized, needing some money for surgery.

There’s no one else at home, so I thought maybe I could sell these to help with his medical expenses.”

While Yang Fan dealt in various mountain products and herbal materials, he never dealt in Cordyceps.

Firstly, his resources were limited, and he couldn’t afford Cordyceps.

Secondly, this business was notoriously complex.

Unexpectedly, merely helping Zhu Shanshan watch the store for a while, he had already encountered such a seller.

Yang Fan picked up one and inspected it closely, asking, “How much do you want to sell them for?”

The girl shook her head, her expression very cautious as she spoke softly, “I’m not sure, can you make an offer?

I asked a few places before, and they offered between one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty per piece.”

Yang Fan chuckled lightly, “Then you should have sold them to the store offering one hundred and fifty.

If you want me to buy, I can only offer you ten yuan a piece.”
