Chapter 614: Chapter 615: Coming to the Door

"Yes, I met her. What about it? We just chatted for a while," said Madam Xue, startled.

Zheng Yucheng glanced at Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao instantly understood that this must have something to do with her.

As expected, Zheng Yucheng sighed and said, "You told Aunt Wu about Dad’s condition, didn’t you?"

"Well, I mentioned it a bit. Is there a problem?" Madam Xue became a bit restless and quickly asked, "Did she come to you?"

"Yes, she did. She asked me if I could also buy some of that Lingzhi for her."

"What?" The Xue family members were all stunned, and Xue Liu put down his bowl. They all knew that the Lingzhi was dug up by Chiang Xiao, and she had made it very clear to them that she had portioned out some from their own supply to give to them. There simply wasn’t any more available. Even though Chiang Xiao had mentioned that if she managed to dig up some more in the future, she would bring some over, they all knew that it wasn’t easy to come across such high-quality wild Ganoderma.

What luck that would be.

Having received such a small bottle from her, they didn’t even know how to repay her. Where could they buy it?

Madam Xue anxiously said, "Why would Old Wu do this? She asked about your Dad’s health, questioning whether he has been able to sleep lately. I just casually said that he had managed to get some sleep these past few days. She was surprised and asked which hospital he had been treated at. I offhandedly said that it wasn’t a hospital but a friend’s gift of wild Ganoderma, which worked quite well, though there wasn’t much left." She too put down her chopsticks and said, "I didn’t expect she would take it so seriously."

"Uncle Wu has been weak for years. Mom, didn’t you know?" Xue Ping couldn’t help but speak up, "Aunt Wu has been looking for traditional medicine for a long time."

"I know that, but how could I know that she would want Lingzhi..."

Madam Xue hadn’t finished speaking when someone knocked on the front door.

Xue Ruhua got up to open the door and unexpectedly cried out, "Grandma Wu? Uncle Wu?"

Zheng Yucheng suddenly put down his chopsticks with a snap and said to Chiang Xiao, "We have guests, you all just focus on your meal. After dinner, we won’t keep you today."

Upon hearing his words, Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were somewhat bewildered, but Chiang Xiao instantly understood. The visitors must undoubtedly be the Aunt Wu he had just mentioned, who wanted to buy the Lingzhi.

"Okay. We’ll leave after we finish eating," nodded Chiang Xiao. With her response, Zheng Yucheng understood her stance.

Chiang Xiao was very smart and quick-witted. If there was room for negotiation, she would have taken the initiative to say so. Now by picking up on his cue, wasn’t she indicating that there was no Lingzhi available, and even if there were, she wouldn’t sell it?

He stood up and went to the living room.

"Grandpa, Grandma, please eat up. We’ll leave after we’re done," said Chiang Xiao as she unapologetically sped up her eating. Xue Liujin watched her and couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. "Xiao Chiang, I must say, you are quite forthright."

"Grandpa Xue, you should eat too," Chiang Xiao said, concentrating on her meal.

However, while they focused on eating, not everyone else might share their wish.

The guests did not sit in the living room after entering but came over to the dining table. The visitors were a gorgeously dressed elderly lady and a middle-aged man whose hair was slicked back and shiny, about the same age as Zheng Yucheng.

"Oh my, this is truly unbelievable, Zhiyuan. Look at your Uncle Xue. A few days ago, your dad and I came to visit him when he was ill, and back then, Uncle Xue’s complexion was much worse than your dad’s. On our way back, didn’t I tell you that I feared Uncle Xue wouldn’t make it through this time? But now, look at him, his spirit has picked up again," she said.
