Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 456 Two Methods
"You little heartless person, do you know that I have always been thinking about you in my heart?"

Wu Cai'e lay in Li Guoqiang's arms and spoke with a resentful look on her face.

As she spoke, she punched Li Guoqiang's chest with her fist, like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Li Guoqiang couldn't help but feel amused when he saw this, and then he quickly said, "Well, you see, I came to see you right after I got back!"

"Ok!"

Wu Cai'e felt better after hearing what Li Guoqiang said. She wiped her tears and asked softly, "Juanzi and the others have given birth, right?"

"gave birth!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then said with some pride: "Sister Juan gave birth to three big fat boys in one pregnancy, and Xiuzhen and Qiaoyan each gave birth to a son."

"so"

When Wu Cai'e heard this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked in surprise, "You have nine sons now?"

"Yup!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he saw Wu Cai'e's reaction, and then he laughed and said, "I didn't expect that they all gave birth to sons this time."

"You are worthy of being the man I like!"

Wu Cai'e came back to her senses after hearing that, and then praised with shining eyes.

After saying that, she wondered if she could also give birth to a son if she mentioned it to Li Guoqiang?

However, she changed her mind and realized that she already had a daughter of fifteen or sixteen years old. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to have a son?
Moreover, even if she didn't ask, she knew that with Li Guoqiang's personality, he would definitely not be willing to let his son call someone else "dad".

Unless she can divorce Song Guochang and then live secretly with Li Guoqiang.

Otherwise, she should forget about such a good thing.

"What's the matter?"

Li Guoqiang saw Wu Cai'e suddenly look dazed, and asked hurriedly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"fine!"

Wu Cai'e was slightly stunned, then hurriedly shook her head and said, "I just suddenly thought of something!"

"What is it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang asked casually.

"What else could this be?"

Wu Cai'e smiled slightly, then said softly: "Didn't you get some supplies for your uncle before the New Year? He has already sent those supplies out, and I'm anxious for you to get him some more!"

"Whoa!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I thought it was a simple matter! I have already prepared the supplies that my uncle wants. As long as you ask, I can send them to him immediately."

What this means is that Wu Cai'e has the final say on this matter.

At the same time, he also made it very clear that the reason he was willing to help Song Guochang get supplies was mainly because of Wu Cai'e's face.

Hearing this, Wu Cai'e felt a surge of joy in her heart, and then she said hurriedly, "Don't worry! I will ask him to give back the money I spent on these supplies to you, and I will never let you suffer any loss."

"Look what you said!"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, and then pretended to be a little dissatisfied and said: "For you, let alone asking me to give you this little bit of supplies for free, even if it is ten times more, it will not matter."

"Okay!"

Wu Cai'e felt sweet at the words, and then she coaxed softly, "I know you are willing to give it up, but everything should be considered separately. These materials are not what I want, and your uncle has money, so you don't need to be polite to him."

"to make!"

When Li Guoqiang heard Wu Cai'e say this, he did not refuse anymore. He nodded and agreed, "Then I'll listen to you!"

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the office door, then continued, "There's no time to lose. How about I go and deliver the supplies to your house now?"

"Row!"

When Wu Cai'e heard this, her heart trembled slightly, and then she said with some anticipation: "Then I will arrange the work first and go back later!"

Because she knew that Li Guoqiang's visit to her home to deliver supplies was only secondary, and the main thing was to be with her.
"See you later!"

Li Guoqiang looked at Wu Cai'e's watery eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then smiled softly, left a word and turned away.

After watching Li Guoqiang leave, Wu Cai'e immediately stood up from her seat and walked out. She quickly explained the work and then hurriedly left the office, making the excuse of feeling unwell.

Not long after, she returned home safely, and at her doorstep, she happened to meet Li Guoqiang, who was riding a tricycle with a large cart of goods.

Afterwards, she and Li Guoqiang didn't talk much, and they very tacitly chose to move the goods on the tricycle into the house.

After pushing the tricycle into the yard, they quickly closed the gate and went into the kitchen together to boil water.

By the way, they also did not forget to check the quality of the stove.

After a rigorous testing, Wu Cai'e's stove is still in great condition.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang thought to himself and then followed Wu Cai'e into the house to drink tea to replenish the lost sweat.

Soon, before we knew it, it was noon.

After eating and drinking her fill, Wu Cai'e leaned lazily on Li Guoqiang's shoulder, her face regaining a healthy and rosy complexion.

Seeing that Wu Cai'e seemed unable to eat anymore, Li Guoqiang did not force her. He cleaned up the place on his own and then went to the kitchen to fetch hot water so that Wu Cai'e could wash up.

After Wu Cai'e finished washing up, he was busy introducing to her the supplies he brought this time.

Among them, in addition to the good wine, good tea and various game that were available in the past, there are also some mountain products and precious medicinal materials.

When Wu Cai'e heard that there was a hundred-year-old wild ginseng among these supplies, she was immediately shocked, and then hurriedly said: "No, this hundred-year-old wild ginseng is too precious, you should take it back quickly."

"do not!"

When Li Guoqiang heard this, he immediately persuaded her, "I picked this wild ginseng from the mountains specifically to help you replenish your body."

"oops!"

When Wu Cai'e heard Li Guoqiang say this, she was very touched for a moment, and then pretended to be a little annoyed and said: "There is nothing wrong with my body, I don't need to eat such precious things."

"Yes!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then continued: "There is nothing wrong with your health, but you are a little old now. If you don't pay attention to maintenance, then when your body breaks down in the future, it will be difficult to regulate it.

So, you'd better listen to me and collect this century-old wild ginseng. Then cut a small slice of it every day and use it to make soaked water to drink.

Then, I will give you some acupuncture treatment based on your physical condition, and I will ensure that you can live a beautiful life for decades.

After hearing this, Wu Cai'e felt hesitant.

Although this hundred-year-old wild ginseng is very valuable, compared to being able to maintain a beautiful appearance, the latter is of course more important.

Moreover, she also knew that Li Guoqiang had many young and beautiful concubines around him.

If she gets old and ugly one day, how can she still have the confidence to be with Li Guoqiang!

Thinking of this, her attitude quickly softened, and she nodded and agreed: "Okay! I'll listen to you!"

After saying that, she silently leaned her head on Li Guoqiang's shoulder again, feeling both happy and worried.

What made her happy was that Li Guoqiang was considerate of her health and was willing to give her a hundred-year-old wild ginseng worth a fortune.

What worries me is that she is indeed a bit old.

It won't be long before she slowly turns into a yellow-faced woman, while by that time, Li Guoqiang will just be entering his prime.

By then, even if Li Guoqiang didn't dislike her, she wouldn't be able to accept it.

"What's the matter?"

Li Guoqiang saw that Wu Cai'e's mood suddenly became a little low, and he immediately guessed what she was thinking, and then hurriedly asked: "Don't you still believe me?"

"no!"

Wu Cai'e heard this and shook her head gently, then said faintly: "God has been good enough to me, allowing me to have such a wonderful experience with you at this time.

If possible, I hope we can continue to be happy like this."

"Will do!"

Li Guoqiang's expression straightened, and then he spoke seriously.

"Ok!"

Wu Cai'e smiled slightly, then nodded gently in agreement, slowly closed her eyes, and quietly enjoyed the peace of the moment.

In fact, she is not a naive girl. She naturally understands that nine out of ten things in this world are not satisfactory.

In this case, all she can do is to seize the present moment.

As for what will happen in the future, she doesn't want to care, nor does she have the ability to care.

Anyway, no matter what the final result is, she believes that Li Guoqiang will not abandon her first.

At worst, when she gets old and ugly, she will leave Li Guoqiang quietly and then silently wish Li Guoqiang the best.

At this time, Li Guoqiang saw that Wu Cai'e was no longer depressed, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

In fact, after Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others had children, he took the time to carefully consider how to arrange for Wu Cai'e, Xu Yuping and others.

Among them, Wu Cai'e and Qin Huairu are particularly noteworthy.

Due to the huge age gap between them and him, perhaps within ten or twenty years, they will no longer be suitable to be together.

By then, will he just have to watch them die alone?

This might be acceptable to him intellectually, but not emotionally.

So, after thinking about it, he finally came up with two solutions.

The first way is to let them have a child. With a child, they will have a spiritual sustenance and will not die without him.

The second method is to use some rare medicinal herbs and his traditional Chinese medicine skills to slow down their aging and narrow the age gap between him and them.

Later, he considered that he already had nine sons, and Wu Cai'e, Qin Huairu and others all had their own children, so the first method seemed not very practical.

Therefore, he did not hesitate and immediately chose the second method. He then took the time to search the mountains within a hundred miles of Jinshan Fort and successfully dug up more than a dozen hundred-year-old wild ginseng and some relatively rare medicinal herbs.

Then, he transplanted all the wild ginseng and medicinal herbs into the small world, turning it into a rare medicinal herb garden.

In this way, he can not only continue to increase the medicinal properties of these wild ginseng and medicinal materials, but also use the golden finger to brush out ten times the amount when needed.

Just like this time, he gave Wu Cai'e a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, and also stored ten of the same wild ginseng in the small world.

With so much stock, it is more than enough for him to achieve his goal of helping the women around him delay aging.

Of course, this only applies to him in the future, and he will not accept more confidantes like Wu Cai'e.

Otherwise, even if he collected all the rare medicinal herbs from the entire Changbai Mountain, I'm afraid they would not be able to withstand decades of uninterrupted use.

After a while, Wu Cai'e suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly raised her head and said, "Qiangzi, it's getting late now, you should go back to Xiangmi Zhai and help take care of the children!

When I have some free time in a few days, I will go over to see the children and see if they are as handsome as you!"

"Okay!"

When Li Guoqiang heard this, he immediately nodded and agreed, "You can also teach Sister Juan and Xiuzhen some tips on raising children by then."

"Do you even need to tell me that?"

Wu Cai'e pursed her lips and smiled, then spoke with a bit of coquettishness.

After saying that, she stood up, helped Li Guoqiang put on his coat, and did not forget to straighten his collar, appearing very virtuous.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang had no intention of stopping it, but just enjoyed it quietly.

After he had tidied his clothes, he kissed Wu Cai'e on the forehead, then turned around and strode away.

Wu Cai'e looked at the empty house after Li Guoqiang left, and a look of melancholy appeared on her face.

If possible, she certainly wanted Li Guoqiang to be with her all the time.

Unfortunately, given her and Li Guoqiang's identities, that was absolutely impossible.

Fortunately, she was mentally prepared for this, and she quickly adjusted her mindset. Then, she carefully put away the hundred-year-old wild ginseng.

At the same time, on the other side, after Li Guoqiang left Wu Cai'e's house on his tricycle, he did not rush back to Xiangmi Zhai, but went directly to the post office where Luo Guofu worked.

After all, Luo Guofu is his only younger brother and brother-in-law, and he must check his physical condition as soon as possible.

This way, on the one hand, the next treatment plan can be formulated for Luo Guofu in a timely manner, and on the other hand, it can also put Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan at ease.

However, perhaps it was bad timing, when he went to the post office, he was told that Luo Guofu had not returned from delivering the letters.

Therefore, he could only rush back to Xiangmi Zhai first and wait until the evening when he finished the work in the store.
