Cai ina brought out a freshly made vegetable dumpling soup, which wasn’t just vegetables; of course, it had to include smoked at.
The sll was incredibly fragrant, making Renee feel deeply that her own mother just didn’t love her enough.
Even though yesterday was equally exhausting, she only ended up eating so gruel, and although there were eggs, that’s not at.
Seeing Renee’s craving expression, Cai ina also served her a bowl, "Eat up, eat well, and then rest."
"Rember to drink ginger tea." Cai ina knew her daughter shouldn’t catch a cold while working, but still wanted her to be careful.
Renee was happy at first upon hearing there was food for her, but later beca unwilling when she realized she had to drink ginger tea.
"Not drinking?" Cai ina asked softly, very gently, without any sense of threat at all.
However, Renee suddenly beca vigilant. After all, her mother’s combat skills weren’t great, but she had a strong backing, like her father’s support.
"I’ll drink, I’ll drink. Mom, don’t worry, I will. But you can’t forget Brother Guangran." Renee’s peripheral vision caught the mocking smile of Zhao Guangran.
Since that’s the case, then everyone should share good things together. Today, she nearly got trapped by this fool, so how could she let him off without so hardship?
No way, he still had to drink ginger tea today. Zhao Guangran’s little face imdiately fell, but no matter how unwilling he was, he could only drink.
Primarily because Zhan Jing felt strongly that he should drink, "And make sure Gangzi and the others drink so too. It’s good for the body."
Upon hearing he had to drink ginger tea, Zhao Gang’s first reaction was he didn’t want to. Although he wasn’t picky, drinking bitter and spicy ginger tea was simply unbearable.
In the past, whenever they went out, Zhao Gang would always avoid this benefit, but this ti he really couldn’t.
The reason was his own son was watching him, coupled with his wife’s insistence on setting a good example for their son. Zhao Gang unwillingly had to agree to drink.
Gong Tao was much more straightforward, smiling and indicating he would definitely stand with his daughter.
"By the way, Taozi, you’ve got mail." Zhao Gang rembered when he passed by the village office earlier, the secretary called him in and he brought back several letters.
He hadn’t checked the contents, but Zhao Gang knew the letters wouldn’t bear good news.
Mail? Both Zhao Gang and Cai ina felt very strange. They’ve been in the Northeast for quite so ti now, and neither the Gong Family nor the Cai Family had sent any news.
Even when they sent a letter back to report their safety per custom, they received no response, so why were they getting mail now?
Cai ina’s first instinct was that there wasn’t any good intention—a letter with spent postage from families who cherished money so dearly, it was surely asking for money or things.
No way, they wouldn’t be planning to dig up the turf now, right? Renee speculated it was near Spring Festival, and the mushrooms and black fungus in the Northeast were quite famous; could they be coming for these?
Even though they had these things at ho, why would she want to give them?
Renee would rather let those things rot than give them away; those folks were just too disgusting, weren’t they?
Gong Tao was surprised seeing his friend when he noticed they had mail from his family, which Zhao Gang hadn’t ntioned, yet these letters were directly handed to his wife.
"After you got them, you might sneakily send stuff to your family." Zhao Gang straightforwardly explained why he wouldn’t hand over the items.
My goodness, is this still his friend? How could he slander him so? Gong Tao wanted to jump up and refute, but Zhao Gang’s face said he wasn’t wrong, leaving him helplessly silent.
If the family’s demands weren’t excessive, Gong Tao might really comply with them, knowing his family doesn’t care for affection, but he truly couldn’t completely let go.
After looking at the letter in her hand, Cai ina considered for a while and decided to open the one from her in-laws.
Anyway, she could anticipate a bit of the in-laws’ requests, and might need to trouble the Zhao Family, but even with psychological preparation, she was dumbfounded upon opening the letter.
Cai ina was furious, on the verge of bursting into rage, her face turning very unpleasant.
Renee noticed sothing was wrong with Cai ina, leaned over to take a look, and was shocked.
Gong Family mbers were shaless in all sorts of ways, but to be even more shaless, they wanted to send ginseng back, and expressed it in a casual manner.
No matter how dissatisfied Renee was, she had to conceal her feelings. She had to act like she was a clueless child that couldn’t read.
Seeing his wife’s unusual reaction, Gong Tao took the letter and looked at it, becoming furious, "Sending ginseng back? Do they think Northeast Ginseng is so easily obtainable?"
"Asking for well-aged ginseng, preferably Centennial Ginseng?"
"Do they think I’m omnipotent?" Gong Tao was so angry at those shaless words that he nearly wanted to tear the letter apart.
What, asking for Centennial Ginseng? Zhao Gang, who didn’t understand much about dicine, even knew how hard it was to find Centennial Ginseng.
Not to ntion, his wife had been in the Northeast for so many years; although she found so wild ginseng, the biggest was only a few decades old, close to a hundred years. Yet, they still kept it for ergency use.
As for the price of this ginseng, it’s worth discussing further. Even on the black market, it would fetch a hefty amount. At the supply and marketing cooperative, it could also be sold for a decent price.
And now the Gong Family wants several pieces, "How can they be so brazen?" Zhao Gang shook his head continuously.
"Seriously, they never write, but the mont they do, they ask for this and that." Zhao Gang could see the letter wasn’t just asking for ginseng; it was asking for rice, at, and also money.
Zhao Gang really wanted to know how the Gong Family could be so shaless, truly an extraordinary family, though Zhao Gang believed his friend’s indulgence was part of the reason.
If initially he hadn’t allowed the Gong Family to endlessly push beyond limits, would they have beco like this?
But now it was better; let Gong Tao properly awaken to see how shaless his family really was.
The second letter Cai ina opened was from the Cai Family. Upon seeing its contents, she laughed.
Ah, her own mother laughed? Could it be the Cai Family had a personality change? It couldn’t be they were showing concern for the daughter?
Renee leaned over again for a peek and laughed, it was just too amusing, but equally as greedy.
Gong Tao took the letter from Cai ina’s hand and also found himself speechless, "What do they take us for?"
Did they really think the family ca to the Northeast to live happily ever after? The ti they asked them to look after Ni Zi was recalled vividly by Gong Tao.
"We don’t have anything. We’re borrowing grain from the village to get by." Both were so shaless, obviously the things couldn’t be given away, or else it would lead to more problems.
However, the contents of the Cai Family’s letter made Gong Tao ponder deeply.
