Chapter 228 Private Talk Between Husband and Wife
After deciding where to put the ginseng, Su Jianjun wrapped the plump ginseng in cotton cloth and placed it in the inner room where he and Chen Xiuting lived.

Su Nuannuan glanced at Su Jianjun's rough way of wrapping her up and twitched her lips.

In the end, Su Nuannuan didn't say anything.

This was already the most precious way the family processed ginseng. Su Nuannuan felt it was better to ignore this detail.

Anyway, the weather is cold now, so the ginseng won't spoil.

During lunch, Chen Xiuting was startled to see Su Nuannuan and Su Erqiang kneeling.

Just as she was about to say something, Su Jianjun pulled her into the inner room and began to explain the matter to her.

Su Jianjun even took out the ginseng he had prepared and showed it to Chen Xiuting.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Xiuting came out of the inner room in a daze.

She had forgotten to feed her family; her mind was completely occupied by the fat ginseng she had just seen.

At lunchtime, Su Nuannuan and Su Erqiang were finally allowed to get up.

However, Su Jianjun still severely criticized the two of them.

"From now on, when you go to the deep mountains, you won't need to eat."

Upon hearing this, Su Erqiang nodded quickly, his face resolute.

"Dad, I swear, I will never go to the deep mountains again."

Su Nuannuan was a beat slow, and before Su Jianjun's stern gaze swept over her, she quickly followed Su Erqiang's steps and said.

"Dad, I swear I will never go to the deep mountains again."

Su Jianjun's expression finally softened.

Chen Xiuting, who was usually tolerant of Su Nuannuan, surprisingly did not refute Su Jianjun's words this time.

There was no way around it. Su Nuannuan and Su Erqiang were truly terrifying this time. Chen Xiuting still felt a lingering fear when she thought about it.

During the meal, everyone was unusually silent today.

Su Erqiang, in particular, ate slowly and carefully, afraid that he might be targeted by Su Jianjun if he wasn't careful.

After lunch, Su Jianjun said to Su Nuannuan and Su Erqiang.

"Nuan Nuan, Er Qiang, you two stay at home for the next few days and don't go anywhere."

After saying that, Su Jianjun looked at Su Daliang and Su Sanquan.

"You two keep an eye on them."

Su Daliang and Su Sanquan nodded.

Then, Su Jianjun said to Chen Xiuting.

"Xiuting, come back to the room with me in a bit."

Chen Xiuting nodded silently, knowing that Su Jianjun wanted to discuss the whereabouts of the ginseng with her.

Knowing that Su Jianjun had his own plans, Su Nuannuan decided not to interfere any further.

After finishing the last sip of noodle soup, Su Nuannuan said.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going back to my room to read."

Su Jianjun's expression softened considerably, and he nodded, saying...

"Go."

Afterwards, Su Nuannuan returned to her bedroom.

This morning was so thrilling. Su Nuannuan felt her heart couldn't take it.

Originally, Su Nuannuan planned to visit Yu Weiwei in the afternoon, but due to the sudden turn of events, she decided to wait until after the New Year to visit Yu Weiwei.

Meanwhile, Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting returned to the inner room.

After tidying up the children, the two took out the ginseng they had put away, and only then did they begin to feel a sense of impending wealth.

Chen Xiuting said excitedly.

"Jianjun, how much do you think our ginseng can sell for?"

Su Jianjun didn't know the market price of ginseng, but he had seen someone dig up a ginseng root on the mountain and sell it for a full thousand yuan. The ginseng root was much larger than the ones they had.

Su Jianjun couldn't guarantee he'd make a fortune, but this ginseng was definitely more expensive than any he'd seen before.

Su Jianjun made a gesture to Chen Xiuting and whispered.

"At least two thousand yuan."

Chen Xiuting was ignorant. Before, Su Nuannuan earned four or five hundred yuan a month from translation, which made Chen Xiuting think that Su Nuannuan was incredibly capable.

Now, upon hearing that a single ginseng root could sell for two thousand yuan, Chen Xiuting was so excited that she lost her voice.

She could no longer describe her feelings.

She had thought she would be satisfied with selling it for a couple hundred yuan. She never imagined that ginseng would be so valuable.

In an instant, Chen Xiuting's gaze towards the ginseng changed.

In reality, the price of this ginseng was far lower than Su Jianjun claimed.

The thought of ginseng's price sparked a different idea in Chen Xiuting's mind. She tugged at Su Jianjun's sleeve, her eyes gleaming.

"Jianjun, you said Nuannuan and Erqiang were able to dig up ginseng as soon as they went up the mountain. Are there still ginseng in the mountains? Can we go dig up ginseng in the mountains too?"

Su Jianjun glared at Chen Xiuting and said sternly.

"Don't even think about it. Ginseng isn't that easy to dig up. Nuannuan and Erqiang were lucky to find ginseng and come back safely from the deep mountains. Think about the Cao family, it's not that easy to get into the deep mountains."

Chen Xiuting only came to her senses after hearing Su Jianjun's stern words.

As the wife of the brigade leader, she knew best about the incident involving Uncle Cao's family and the two strong laborers in the village.

Moreover, Chen Xiuting witnessed the miserable state of Third Master Cao.

The thought of her last meeting with Master Cao sent shivers down Chen Xiuting's spine.

Her voice trembled.

"We're not going, we're not going."

Su Jianjun breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that his wife had put away her inappropriate thoughts.

He didn't blame Chen Xiuting for being greedy. In fact, he would also be tempted by huge profits.

However, after having a family, Su Jianjun would think about the consequences behind these temptations before facing them, and whether he and his family could bear them.

If not, even if Su Jianjun is tempted, he will deliberately ignore it.

Putting aside whether they could find ginseng in the deep mountains, the wild animals in the mountains were beyond their ability to fight.

Therefore, Su Jianjun was very clear-headed.

He would not only avoid going deep into the mountains, but he would also keep the fact that his family had obtained a ginseng root a secret from the villagers.

If the villagers knew about this, some of them would definitely be tempted to go deep into the mountains to try their luck.

Su Jianjun had already anticipated the consequences of their venturing deep into the mountains. For the sake of Hongqi Village's peace and the safety of its inhabitants, Su Jianjun would not tell anyone that he had dug up a ginseng root at his home.

This is another reason why Su Jianjun doesn't want to trade ginseng in nearby counties.

After explaining the seriousness of the matter to her daughter-in-law, Chen Xiuting felt that Su Jianjun was right.

However, upon seeing the ginseng, Chen Xiuting couldn't help but feel excited.

"Jianjun, is your former comrade-in-arms Wang Zhen reliable?"

Su Jianjun nodded in affirmation.

"Don't worry. No one is more reliable than him. Let's write to him first. If that doesn't work, we'll ask our two sons-in-law."

When Su Jianjun mentioned Cheng Qian and Wen Wuqi, Chen Xiuting's eyes lit up.

Since her trip to the island, Chen Xiuting has grown fond of her two sons-in-law.

It's not that they are so outstanding, but that they are genuinely good to their two daughters.

Therefore, with this filter in place, Chen Xiuting had a very high level of trust in Cheng Qian and Wen Wuqi.

Compared to Wang Zhenqian, whom Su Jianjun mentioned, Chen Xiuting clearly believed Cheng Qian and Wen Wuqi more.
