Chapter 73 Chu Mingzhou Buys Ginseng Slices

Seeing the hand-cranked telephone, Su Nuannuan sighed inwardly, "Who would have thought that in thirty years, an even more convenient mobile phone would appear?"

While Su Nuannuan was inwardly marveling at the progress of the times, Chu Mingzhou had already contacted Ji Lan. He told her that he wanted to buy wild ginseng slices from her, and then added that Su Nuannuan needed her permission before selling them to him.

After Chu Mingzhou finished speaking, Su Nuannuan actually sensed a hint of grievance in his tone, making her think that she had committed some heinous crime against him.

After Chu Mingzhou finished speaking, Ji Lan burst into laughter.

Her son didn't understand, but she did. Through this incident, Ji Lan's fondness for Su Nuannuan grew even stronger.

"Mingzhou, I understand. Let Nuannuan answer the phone."

After listening, Chu Mingzhou handed the phone to Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan took it and first politely greeted Ji Lan.

"Hello, Aunt Ji."

Hearing Su Nuannuan's voice made Ji Lan very happy; you could tell from her voice.

"Hello, Nuannuan. Mingzhou has already told me about it, and I've agreed to it."

Su Nuannuan was still somewhat conflicted after hearing this.

"But...but..."

Seeing Su Nuannuan's predicament, Ji Lan knew her concerns and spoke up directly.

"Just sell the ginseng slices to Mingzhou without worry. He probably wants to study wild ginseng. If you don't sell to him, he'll keep bothering you. He has money, so you don't need to worry."

Su Nuannuan felt relieved when she saw that Ji Lan knew everything.

"Okay, Aunt Ji, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Su Nuannuan looked at Chu Mingzhou. From Aunt Ji's words, she already knew that Chu Mingzhou bought the ginseng slices to study wild ginseng. Su Nuannuan's eyes flickered; she wondered if Chu Mingzhou could detect the presence of the spiritual spring water in the wild ginseng slices.

Chu Mingzhou also looked at Su Nuannuan, waiting for her to speak.

Su Nuannuan's thoughts returned, and she looked at Chu Mingzhou.

"And Uncle Chu."

Su Nuannuan could clearly sense the helplessness that flashed across Chu Mingzhou's face after she said those words.

However, Chu Mingzhou still obediently dialed Chu Wenzhu's number.

Like Ji Lan, Chu Wenzhu also agreed to Chu Mingzhou's purchase of wild ginseng slices. She also told Su Nuannuan that Chu Mingzhou was wealthy and suggested she ask for more.

After hanging up the phone, Su Nuannuan was speechless.

Since Uncle Chu and Aunt Ji have agreed, she has no reason not to sell to Chu Mingzhou.

Chu Mingzhou handed the money for the phone call to the old man, and the two left the guardhouse.

On the way, Su Nuannuan thought for a moment and said to Chu Mingzhou.

"Since Uncle Chu and Aunt Ji have both agreed, I will sell you a can of ginseng slices."

After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, a flash of joy crossed Chu Mingzhou's eyes.

Su Nuannuan continued speaking.

"However, just give me 1500 yuan."

This was the price Su Nuannuan had set after careful consideration. Although Chu Mingzhou said he would buy it at 100 yuan per gram, she couldn't actually sell it to him. So, Su Nuannuan thought that setting the price the same as Chu Wenzhu's would be just right.

Chu Mingzhou listened without saying anything, only nodding.

"Since you've agreed, let's go back to the dorm together. The ginseng slices are in the dorm; wait for me downstairs, and I'll go get them for you."

Su Nuannuan led Chu Mingzhou to the girls' dormitory building.

If it weren't for the inexplicable reason why she carried a jar of ginseng slices with her, Su Nuannuan would have simply taken out the ginseng slices and given them to Chu Mingzhou.

Chu Mingzhou took an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Su Nuannuan. "This is the money for the ginseng slices, take it."

Looking at the bulging envelope, Su Nuannuan recalled what Chu Wenzhu had just said: He's rich.

Su Nuannuan suddenly realized how vast the differences were between people. She was able to accumulate so much money entirely thanks to the help of her spatial spring. Chu Mingzhou, on the other hand, probably received it from his elders.

She didn't accept it immediately, but instead spoke to Chu Mingzhou.

"I'll give you the ginseng slices, then you can give me the money."

Hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Chu Mingzhou obediently stuffed the envelope back into his pocket, looked at Su Nuannuan, and gestured for her to quickly get the ginseng slices.

Su Nuannuan glanced at Chu Mingzhou speechlessly.

This guy has absolutely no emotional intelligence. I guess he's used it all to improve his IQ. Aunt Ji said Chu Mingzhou is very smart.

Although she was internally complaining, Su Nuannuan didn't show it on her face.

I turned around and went back to my dorm.

Back in the dormitory, Hong Xiu and the other two were already taking a nap. Su Nuannuan tiptoed in and placed the morning's textbooks on the table.

When she came out, there was a jar of wild ginseng slices in her handbag.

When Su Nuannuan saw Chu Mingzhou again, she handed him the wild ginseng slices from her bag. Chu Mingzhou's eyes lit up when he saw the familiar porcelain jar packaging, and he excitedly took the jar.

Chu Mingzhou's emotions weren't outwardly apparent. It wasn't until he got closer that Su Nuannuan noticed his joy and excitement.

Su Nuannuan watched as Chu Mingzhou took the porcelain jar. His slender, fair fingers held the white porcelain container, and comparing the two, she couldn't tell which was whiter. Su Nuannuan was somewhat dazed.

However, after confirming that the wild ginseng slices in the porcelain jar were exactly the same as the ones she had taken out before, Chu Mingzhou put them away.

Su Nuannuan also looked away.

Chu Mingzhou took out the envelope again, and this time Su Nuannuan accepted it without hesitation. After accepting it, she put the envelope into her handbag.

She trusted Chu Mingzhou's character, so she didn't count the money in front of him.

"The transaction is complete, so I'm going back to my dorm."

Chu Mingzhou nodded.

Watching Su Nuannuan leave, Chu Mingzhou also left.

Back in her dorm, Su Nuannuan ate some fruit and then went to bed.

Before going to sleep, Su Nuannuan opened the envelope Chu Mingzhou had given her; inside was a thick stack of large black crosses.

Su Nuannuan excitedly began counting the money.

“1, 2, 3……100……148, 149, 150.”

Why else?

When Su Nuannuan counted 150 cards, she found there was still a stack left.

Did Chu Mingzhou give too much?

Su Nuannuan counted the remaining money and found that in addition to the 1500 yuan she was entitled to, there was an extra 500 yuan.

Suddenly, she remembered that Chu Mingzhou had told her before that he would buy wild ginseng at a price of 100 yuan per gram.

Did he deliberately put too much money in there?
Considering that Chu Mingzhou didn't ask her to count the money when he was collecting it, it meant he did it on purpose.

Looking at the extra 500 yuan, Su Nuannuan wondered whether she should return the money to Chu Mingzhou.

Ultimately, Su Nuannuan rejected the idea. It wasn't that she wanted the money, but she felt that even if she returned it, Chu Mingzhou would most likely not accept it. As for whether to return it to Uncle Chu and Aunt Ji, Su Nuannuan said it wasn't necessary.

Uncle Chu and Aunt Ji wanted more money, so they were even less likely to accept the 500 yuan.

After thinking it over and over, Su Nuannuan couldn't come up with a solution, so she had no choice but to keep the 500 yuan for now and return it to Chu Mingzhou when she had time later.
