Chapter 155: 155 Has a Leg (second update)

Xiaofeng didn’t get any useful answers from Xiaoqi, walking alone in the forest, she looked down and found wild mushrooms scattered on the ground, just like the ones she saw in the mountains when she was a child.

Seeing the wild mushrooms made Xiaofeng happy.

She picked one up to store in the storage room and kept collecting for quite a while before she stopped.

She stepped on something, bent down to look at what she had stepped on, and found it was a ginseng. The ginseng was not small, and since she was studying ginseng during her time working with specialties, she examined the one beneath her foot closely, at least two hundred years old.

In other words, this was a centuries-old ginseng, and if she were to wait a few more years before selling it, such a plant would fetch an astronomical price.

Xiaofeng, who wanted to pull out the ginseng, stopped her action. What was she pulling it out for, when it would be so good just growing here? In other words, she owned a vast forest, which meant she possessed countless treasures of the mountain.

This discovery invigorated Xiaofeng; having a Golden Finger truly came with benefits.

After exiting the space, she read for a while, then sleepiness overcame her.

"I’m sorry, we really can’t figure out what’s wrong with your son, it’s very likely due to some kind of allergy. I’ll write you a prescription for a wash; help him try that and see if it helps, and if it doesn’t, you should take him to see specialists at a larger hospital." In a small clinic, a middle-aged doctor had just examined Zhao Hu but couldn’t find the cause of his ailment.

Zheng Yue’e didn’t believe it, "Doctor Hu, please check again, my son is itching like this, how could there be nothing wrong?"

"We have limited resources here, you should go to the county hospital," Doctor Hu shook his head. "Judging by his condition, it seems quite serious; it would be best to have further tests."

With the limited facilities he had, conducting more extensive tests was impossible.

"We won’t go," Grandma Zhao came over, taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor from her daughter, "Doctor, my grandson is just having an allergic reaction; he’ll be fine after a good sleep."

"Mom, Huzi is itching so badly, how can it be nothing? The doctor says it’s quite serious; we should go to the hospital."

"It’s nothing, what can be so serious?" Grandma Zhao didn’t explain, "Let’s go home, I know what to do."

Although Zheng Yue’e was surprised, she still followed her mother back home.

Once home, Grandma Zhao closed the main gate and took out a scythe, placing it on the door, cursing outside, "You’ve been dead for years; if you keep following Huzi, don’t blame our Zhao family for digging you up from your grave and throwing you outside for the dogs."

Zheng Yue’e: "...."

"Grandma, is she back?" Zhao Hu shrank at the sight of Grandma Zhao’s actions, and the itch on his face seemed to subside.

"Son, you’re not itchy anymore?" Zheng Yue’e turned back and looked at Zhao Hu, and was surprised to see her son stop scratching.

Zhao Hu chuckled, "Not itchy anymore."

"Mom, how did you know that Huzi was possessed by something filthy?" Zheng Yue’e asked in a low voice.

"Who else but her couldn’t bear to see our Huzi well," Grandma Zhao snorted coldly: "Let Huzi go out less at night from now on. If Huzi gets involved with such a dirty thing, could anything good come of it?"

Zheng Yue’e looked around nervously, "If she dares to cling to Huzi, I’ll find a powerful exorcist to cross her over."

It’s her own fault for being so frail; Huzi barely touched her and she fell to the ground, never to rise again.

With such a frail body, who could she blame?

...

Early in the morning, Su Xiaofeng went to open the door and saw a person waiting there. Hearing her footsteps, the person stood up and smiled at Xiaofeng, "My mom said you’re a good person, and told me to work hard under you. I’ve come over to work today."

Now that he had money, his mother’s surgery could be done; for him, this was hope.

"Doesn’t your mom need looking after?" Su Xiaofeng glanced at him, then turned to open the door.

"My aunt is at the hospital." His aunt always took good care of them and had said it wasn’t convenient for a man to look after a woman, so she sent him out to work.

"Alright, you go to the glass factory and get the bottles out later, then deliver three hundred bottles to the Eastern City Grand Hotel." Since the other party could show up here, they must have arranged everything in advance.

Liao Xianghe had never worked before, but he had a sharp mind and remembered Su Xiaofeng’s instructions by heart, "What should I pay attention to at the glass factory? Should I settle the payment with the Eastern City Grand Hotel directly or let them settle with you?"

"Just give the glass factory a quick look. As for the hotel’s payment, it’s settled monthly. You just need to keep the receipts safe for checking at the end of the month."

Liao Xianghe nodded, "Okay, I’ll go to the glass factory now."

For him, today was a new day, so he had to work hard.

"Xiaofeng." Zhang Keke came into Xiaofeng’s office while biting into a bun, "Xiaofeng, the certification materials are almost ready. You’ll have to go there yourself today, remember to bring your ID card."

As the legal representative was Xiaofeng, of course, she had to be present.

"I’ll go in a while." She heard that many procedures were somewhat troublesome, so it was better to go early.

"Okay," Zhang Keke swallowed another bun, "I’ll have breakfast first."

Seeing Zhang Keke gobble down her food, Xiaofeng laughed, "Why are you in such a hurry? It’s not even work hours yet."

Zhang Keke bit into another bun, "Even though we are classmates, I can’t consider myself special."

When everyone at the factory had arrived, Xiaofeng asked Director Zhou to take over as she and Keke were going to process the certification.

Just as they arrived at the certification office, before Keke could hand over the materials, they ran into Lin Jianguo in the hall. It seemed that he was also there for some business.

Su Xiaofeng had no connection to the Lin Family now, so seeing Lin Jianguo, there was naturally no need to greet him. Her gaze swept over the other person and then quickly looked away.

Seeing that Su Xiaofeng had no intention of greeting him, Lin Jianguo scoffed in his heart. Growing up in the countryside really does show; she has no magnanimity at all.

Regardless, Yuzhu and her daughter had a relationship, and he was once their stepfather. Now, her attitude toward him was laughable.

"Isn’t this Xiaofeng?" Old Dong, holding some documents, came out from the inside and laughed upon seeing Su Xiaofeng in the hall, "Xiaofeng, what are you doing here? Are you here to find Jianguo? Jianguo, you are at fault here. Xiaofeng specially came to find you, she must want to mend her mother-daughter relationship with Yuzhu, how can you ignore her?"

The fact that Xiaofeng was not Luo Yuzhu’s biological daughter was no secret now. Whether biological or not, Xiaofeng and Yuzhu had been through a mother-daughter relationship, and there were still some feelings to consider.

Moreover, Xiaofeng was such a beautiful and vivacious girl.

Lin Jianguo, hearing Dong Wei’s words, frowned slightly, annoyed at his indiscretion. This Su Xiaofeng was just a country girl with neither influence nor ability. The best was to cut ties, yet here they were talking about reconciliation. Why bother reconciling, just to add to his troubles?

"If you don’t know the details, stop talking nonsense. It’s not that Yuzhu doesn’t want her; it’s that she doesn’t want any relationship with Yuzhu. If she doesn’t want to acknowledge Yuzhu as her mother, what can I do?" Lin Jianguo tugged at Dong Wei, "Got everything you need for the paperwork? If so, let’s leave. I have to go to work later."

As Dong Wei walked out, he waved at Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng, come visit your uncle sometime. I’ll take you around the city."

"Dong Wei, you really have no shame. You even want to lay your hands on such a young girl," a woman with large curly hair, entering the office, heard Dong Wei’s comment and spoke sarcastically.

Seeing the woman, Dong Wei’s face flashed with embarrassment, "Aifen, we’re divorced. Who I choose to look for is my freedom. What concern is it of yours?"

"I’m concerned? You wish," Zhang Aifen sneered coldly, giving Su Xiaofeng a disdainful glance, "Young lady, make sure to keep your distance from this man. This man can’t even walk straight when he sees a beautiful woman, thinking he’s all that because he has some money." Before he was wealthy, Dong Wei was a decent man, caring for his family and children.

Once he got rich, he stopped coming home and changed women, one after another; obviously, we couldn’t continue like that. It only made sense to divorce and go our separate ways.

"Zhang Aifen, I don’t have your dirty thoughts," Dong Wei grew angry at her words, "She is Luo Yuzhu’s daughter and calls me uncle, which makes her my niece."

"You’ve even lusted after Luo Yuzhu, let alone her daughter," Zhang Aifen laughed lightly, her voice tinged with sarcasm as she looked at Lin Jianguo, "Jianguo, you must be careful with him; he had his eye on Yuzhu many years ago."

Upon hearing Zhang Aifen’s words, Lin Jianguo’s face turned livid, "Zhang Aifen, what nonsense are you speaking? Yuzhu is my wife; even if Dong Wei loses his senses, he wouldn’t do such a thing."

Zhang Aifen seemed particularly irritated today, "Wouldn’t do it? You should ask him himself. He and Yuzhu used to work at the same factory. If it weren’t for the fact that you had more money than Dong Wei, Luo Yuzhu would probably have married him."

If it weren’t for an offhand conversation, she would have never known about Dong Wei’s fling with Luo Yuzhu back in the day.
