Chapter 65 Shen Garden's Father
Back in her dorm, Su Nuannuan was unaware that Chu Mingzhou genuinely wanted to buy wild ginseng slices, and she felt a pang of regret for not being able to sell them to him.

Meanwhile, after Xu Heyi's family returned home, Shen Yuan took the wild ginseng slices she bought from Su Nuannuan back to her parents' home.

Her parents' home is near hers, less than a two-minute walk away.

Xu Heyi did not stop his wife from taking wild ginseng slices to her parents' home.

His father-in-law saved his mother years ago and helped his family a lot. Later, he even married his only daughter to him.

Xu Heyi was very grateful to his father-in-law. The reason he wanted to buy the wild ginseng slices today was to give them to his father-in-law.

Shen Yuan understood her husband's thoughts. Therefore, upon returning home, she went directly to see her father with wild ginseng slices.

Shen Yuan's father, Shen Zhihe, was a veteran traditional Chinese medicine doctor at Minghe Medical Clinic. Although he only ran a small clinic, his patients were all prominent figures in the capital. This wasn't because Shen Zhihe's status was particularly special, but rather because of his excellent medical skills.

For some minor ailments, no medication is needed; he can simply give you a couple of acupuncture needles and you'll be fine. He can also help alleviate pain and slow the progression of illnesses that hospitals cannot treat.

Therefore, many people who knew Shen Zhihe came to him for treatment. Everyone who left praised Shen Zhihe's skills. Beijing University once invited him to teach Traditional Chinese Medicine, but Shen Zhihe declined.

He believes that traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes inheritance. Five years of schooling only imparts book knowledge. If he were to take on an apprentice, he would definitely teach them personally at his clinic. Besides, the old man is getting old and doesn't have the energy to teach so many students.

When Shen Zhihe arrived at Shen Garden, he had just seen off a young couple.

Shen Zhihe was very happy to see his daughter coming over.

"Yuanyuan is here, why didn't you bring Xiaotian with you?"

"Today, He Yi and I took Xiao Tian to the Chu family. Xiao Tian is a little tired and is still sleeping."

Shen Zhihe knew that her daughter's family had gone to thank the two women who had saved Xiaotian last time. Thinking about how Xiaotian almost didn't make it back because of their negligence, Shen Zhihe felt a little angry.

He's so old, and he only has this one grandson, whom he usually spoils like a treasure. He was gone for a few days, and then this terrible thing happened. When Shen Yuan and his wife told him about it, Shen Zhihe gave them a severe dressing-down.

Shen Zhihe was also very grateful to the two women who saved his grandson.

Shen Yuan also mentioned that Su Nuannuan should recognize Xu Xiaotian as her adopted younger brother.

Shen Zhihe strongly agreed.

"Yuanyuan, please invite Nuannuan to our house for dinner next time."

Shen Zhihe not only wanted to thank Su Nuannuan, but was also interested in the folk remedy she used to save Xu Xiaotian.

Although his medical skills were superb, he was powerless to help those who choked. Every year, many people die from choking, especially children. Their throats are narrow, and even slightly large pieces of food can block their airways, making it difficult for them to breathe.

Shen Zhihe had seen children choking on food in his younger days. However, he was helpless and could only watch as the children stopped breathing. This incident greatly affected Shen Zhihe.

Therefore, Shen Zhihe was so interested when he learned that Su Nuannuan knew a way to save someone who was choking.

"Dad, don't worry. Nuannuan and I have already made plans. She'll come to my house next time she has a holiday."

Shen Yuan didn't think too much about it. She simply wanted to thank Su Nuannuan. Moreover, she felt that Su Nuannuan was her son's lucky star. That day, if she hadn't met Su Nuannuan, her son would have really left her.

After finishing talking about Su Nuannuan, Shen Yuan suddenly said to Shen Zhihe in a mysterious tone.

"Dad, guess what I brought you today?"

Shen Zhihe rolled her eyes at Shen Yuan.

"Besides grains and pork, what else could you possibly bring me but ginseng and lingzhi?"

Since the famine struck and the national grain production decreased, Shen Yuan frequently brought grain and pork home for him and his wife. She would come every three days, bringing a considerable amount each time. At first, Shen Zhihe was pleased that his daughter had become so sensible. However, as the grain piled up, Shen Zhihe ran out of space to store his medicinal herbs.

He refused to let Shen Yuan send any more grain. But Shen Yuan wouldn't listen. She insisted on sending it. Shen Zhihe now felt annoyed at the sight of grain and pork. He preferred his medicinal herbs to them.

However, this time he was wrong. Shen Yuan had neither brought food nor pork.

She placed the small blue porcelain jar on the table in front of Shen Zhihe.

"Dad, you've guessed wrong this time. This is what I brought for you today." After saying that, he pushed the porcelain jar in front of Shen Zhihe.

Shen Zhihe was puzzled when he saw the small jar.

"What's in here?"

Before Shen Yuan could answer, he brought it to his nose and smelled it.

Although the jar was sealed, the stopper still retained the scent of wild ginseng. Therefore, Shen Zhihe immediately recognized it.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He uncorked the porcelain jar and found it filled with ginseng slices.

"This is ginseng!"

Shen Zhihe was somewhat shocked. He hadn't expected his daughter to actually send him ginseng.

However, Shen Yuan shook his head.

"Dad, this isn't ginseng. It's wild ginseng."

As soon as Shen Yuan finished speaking, Shen Zhihe tightened his grip on the porcelain jar. His eyes burned with desire as he looked at the ginseng slices inside.

He smelled the ginseng slices again, closing his eyes to savor the medicinal aroma.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and looked at Shen Garden.

Where did you get it?

Shen Yuan knew that once her father saw the wild ginseng slices, he would definitely ask about them.

“I bought it from Nuannuan. Her home is in Heilongjiang Province, right next to mountains. She found it by chance in the mountains. She originally wanted to give me the ginseng slices, but I felt it was inappropriate to accept them, so I bought them from her for 1000 yuan.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhihe frowned and looked at Shen Garden.

"You only gave me 1000 yuan, are you taking advantage of the young girl's lack of knowledge about quality?"

Seeing this, Shen Yuan realized that her father had misunderstood, and quickly explained the whole story.

After hearing this, Shen Zhihe did not release his grip. However, he still spoke up.

"You still need to give the remaining money to Nuannuan later."

"Dad, don't worry."

Shen Yuan repeatedly assured Shen Zhihe that he would definitely not let Su Nuannuan suffer any losses.

"Does that girl have any more?"

This is what Shen Zhihe cares about most.

Shen Yuan thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"There shouldn't be any left. Besides the one she sold me, Sister Ji's family also bought one, and Nuannuan said she's going to send some home. So, all things considered, she probably doesn't have any left."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Shen Zhihe's eyes. However, it quickly disappeared.

Looking at the blue porcelain jar again, Shen Zhihe's eyes were full of affection.

It is important to know that wild ginseng is a very precious and rare herb. Many people on the verge of death can be kept alive by taking a piece of wild ginseng.

Therefore, wild ginseng can be a lifesaver in critical moments.

Shen Zhihe carefully plugged the jar and placed it in the locked medicine cabinet. It was filled with valuable medicines he had accumulated over the years; any one of them could be exchanged for an apartment in Beijing.
