Chapter 179 Ginseng Seeds Acquired, Wang Feng Mocks Qin Huairu



Chapter 179 Ginseng Seeds Acquired, Wang Feng Mocks Qin Huairu

Upon hearing that the young man could actually obtain ginseng seeds, Wang Feng smiled. He wasn't short of money, and as long as the price wasn't too outrageous, he could accept it.

"Comrade, how many ginseng seeds do you have, and what's the price?"

The young man smiled slightly: "I only have one hundred Changbai Mountain ginseng seeds here. If you want them all, just give me ten yuan."

Wang Feng's eyes widened, and he said, "Comrade, are you sure you're not joking? You want ten yuan for a hundred ginseng seeds?"

The young man smiled and explained, "Comrade, ginseng seeds are now a controlled substance, and I'm taking a certain risk. Ten yuan isn't expensive for you."

After thinking it over, Wang Feng decided to get his hands on the ginseng seeds first. If he wanted to scam him, he'd better be prepared to lose everything.

"Comrade, do you only have a hundred pills? I want more, do you have any more?"

The young man was somewhat surprised, and considering the risks, he immediately shook his head and said, "That's all we have now. Are you sure you want it? If so, come with me."

Wang Feng nodded and followed.

The two arrived at a deserted alley. The young man took out a small paper packet from his pocket, opened it, and sure enough, it contained ginseng seeds.

Wang Feng took the ginseng seeds, scanned them with his spiritual sense and found no problems, then took out a large black ten and handed it over.

The young man took the money and laughed heartily: "Brother, that's great! If you need more ginseng seeds in the future, you can come to the Chinese medicine shop to find me. By the way, I'm Zhao Dezhu, the general manager of this Chinese medicine shop."

After saying that, the young man left happily.

Wang Feng followed quietly. His spiritual sense now extended to 35 meters, and following the young man for several dozen meters made it difficult for the young man to detect him.

After winding through several alleys, Wang Feng's spiritual sense detected that the young man had entered a courtyard.

Wang Feng arrived outside the courtyard and scanned the yard with his spiritual sense. He discovered that the young man had opened a cabinet, taken out a packet of ginseng seeds from a large wooden box, put it in his pocket, opened the door, and walked out.

Upon seeing that there were at least several kilograms of ginseng seeds in the large wooden box, Wang Feng cursed inwardly and immediately put the large wooden box into his spatial storage. He also took the more than four thousand yuan and five small yellow croakers that the young man had hidden in his home.

Needless to say, Wang Feng knew that these ginseng seeds must have been obtained through illegitimate means. Ginseng seeds are now a controlled substance, and this kid had several kilograms at home, and he was selling them for such a high price? Most importantly, he was ripped off.

Dare to cheat him? Wang Feng didn't care whether the young man's things were useful or not, and stuffed them all into his space. He didn't leave behind anything, including beds, tables, chairs, cabinets, or even the bed boards.

He took dozens of kilograms of wheat flour and cornmeal from the kitchen, along with seasonings like oil, salt, and soy sauce. Just as he was about to leave, Wang Feng dismantled the gate of the youth center and stored it in his spatial dimension.

Hopefully, when that person comes back and sees only a few floor tiles left in his house, he won't cry.

After leaving the scene, Wang Feng rode his bicycle towards No. 95 Courtyard.

Back at No. 95 courtyard, the third aunt wanted to stop Wang Feng, but remembering Qin Jingru's attitude towards her yesterday, she gave up the idea and decided to let Lao Yan talk to Wang Feng instead.

As they entered the front yard, Aunt Wu greeted Wang Feng with a smile.

"Wang Feng, congratulations! Jingru has also gotten a job at the steel rolling mill. Your combined salary is the highest in our institute."

Wang Feng smiled slightly and replied, "Thank you, Aunt Wu."

"Hello, Brother Wang Feng." Ya Ya stood next to Aunt Wu and greeted Wang Feng obediently.

Seeing that Ya Ya's little hands were red from the cold, Wang Feng rubbed her head, took out two White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket, placed them in Ya Ya's palm, and smiled:

"Yaya, you're so good. It's cold outside, you should go back inside. Sister Jingru has gone to the factory, and this is some wedding candy for you."

"Hehe, thank you, Brother Wang Feng," Ya Ya said sweetly.

"Wang Feng, you don't need to go to such lengths. Aunt Wu is happy for Jingru that she's started working at the factory," Aunt Wu said somewhat embarrassedly.

Wang Feng smiled and waved his hand: "Aunt Wu, don't be so polite. You used to mend my clothes for me. Besides, Ya Ya is such a good girl. I really like this little girl."

"Alright, Aunt Wu, I have something to do, so I'll head back now."

"Why."

Upon arriving at the Intermediate People's Court, Wang Feng met Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu, holding a broom, was about to sweep the toilet when she saw Wang Feng. She quickly walked over and said with a smile:

"Wang Feng, wait a minute, Sister Qin has something to tell you."

Qin Huairu came to Wang Feng's side. Wang Feng could clearly smell a foul stench, somewhat like the smell of a latrine. He quickly covered his nose and said in a deep voice, "What is it? Speak quickly."

Qin Huairu knew she smelled a little, but she didn't mind and smiled, saying:

"Wang Feng, look, I'm Jingru's cousin. We're real relatives. I know Jingru got into the steel mill entirely because of you. Could you help Sister Qin get me a job there too? Wang Feng, if you get me a job, and I need to buy a workstation, you can pay for it upfront. I'll pay you back ten yuan every month. Is that okay?"

Before Wang Feng could speak, Qin Huairu interrupted, "Wang Feng, I know you don't like me, but I'm Jingru's cousin, that's an indisputable fact. Please help me for my parents' sake. Qin is really having a hard time. After all, my dad is Jingru's uncle."

Wang Feng scoffed and mocked, "Qin Huairu, do you even care about your parents? How many times have you gone back to your parents' home since you married into the city? Last time you went back empty-handed, you practically emptied their savings. Someone like you has the nerve to say you're going back for your parents' sake?"

"Alright, Qin Huairu, go cool off somewhere else. I wouldn't dare acknowledge a relative like you. Otherwise, you could bring a huge bowl to my door every day. My Wang family is just a small family, and we can't fill the huge hole in your Jia family."

Without giving Qin Huairu a chance to speak, Wang Feng pushed his bicycle and went back into the house.

Watching Wang Feng's retreating figure, Qin Huairu felt a surge of hatred towards him.

Why, why is Jingru like this, and Wang Feng like this too? They are relatives, can't relatives help each other?

Wang Feng and Jing Ru are living such good lives now, one earning 87.5 yuan and the other 78.5 yuan a month, why can't they help her? Why are they all so heartless? If Wang Feng could get her into the steel rolling mill, her life would be much better.

She already said that Wang Feng would pay for the workstation first, and she would pay him back ten yuan every month. Why don't you believe her? Is she destined to spend her whole life being beaten by Jia Zhangshi?
