Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1265: Ten Boxes of Gold

Noticing Lu Jueyu’s doubts, Doctor Xie pointed at the ginseng and said, "We can count the age of the ginseng from this part. Each section represents a year."

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu started counting. When she finished, she was stunned. This ginseng was indeed 839 years old.

While she was still confused by the discovery, Doctor Xie asked, "Girl, can you sell me this ginseng?"

Lu Jueyu went silent upon hearing his words. The price of ginseng in the black market has risen lately, making it hard to determine its value.

The older the ginseng, the higher the price. But the oldest ginseng in the black market was only 100 years old. So, how much should she sell this ginseng for?

Thinking that she was unwilling to sell, Doctor Xie grew anxious. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Girl, I know this ginseng is priceless, and I don’t have enough money to buy it from you. How about I trade gold for it?"

This time, Lu Jueyu shook her head and said, "Doctor Xie, you know that gold is a forbidden item. Even if I own it, I can’t use it. What’s more, if I need money, I’d still have to take the risk of going to the black market to exchange it. Even then, the price of gold would be very low."

Raising his hand, Doctor Xie said, "I will give you five boxes of gold."

Lu Jueyu’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she showed nothing on her face. She looked at Doctor Xie and said unhappily, "Doctor Xie, you are joking with me, right?"

Gritting his teeth, he added another hand and said, "Ten boxes!"

Seeing that she was still frowning, Doctor Xie said, "Girl, each box contains more than 100 kilograms of gold. Even if you exchange it for money, you can still get at least 100,000 yuan!"

After a moment of silence, Lu Jueyu finally let out a long sigh and said reluctantly, "Since we are friends, I will trade it with you."

When Doctor Xie heard this, he didn’t feel at a disadvantage at all. He quickly nodded and said, "Girl, I will give you the map. You need to dig up the gold yourself. It’s buried behind the mountain foothills."

"I still have to dig it myself?" Lu Jueyu asked unhappily.

"Girl, look at my old bones. If I dig it up, it will take me several days. You can just ask your husband and son to do it for you. Both of them are strong. They will finish digging it up in a day or two at most," Doctor Xie persuaded her.

Lu Jueyu frowned and hesitated for a moment before finally nodding, "Alright then."

As soon as he heard this, Doctor Xie quickly took the tray with ginseng on it and said, "Girl, lend me a clean cloth."

Seeing how excited he was, Lu Jueyu didn’t say anything and went to find one.

After wrapping the ginseng carefully in the cloth, Doctor Xie tucked it inside his clothes. With this ginseng, he no longer had to worry about running out of ginseng powder.

Watching his excitement, Lu Jueyu asked, "Doctor Xie, what do you plan to do with this ginseng?"

"I plan to dry it and make it into powder for my granddaughter."

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu’s eyes flashed for a moment before she offered, "How about I help you make it?"

Doctor Xie glanced at her and thought for a moment. He had noticed that, besides ginseng powder, there was something else mixed in the powder given by Lu Jueyu.

He had tried to identify the additional herbs but failed. Since she was willing to help, he was, of course, happy to accept it. He took out the ginseng and handed it to her while saying, "Then, I will have to trouble you with this matter."

"No trouble at all. But it might take a few days to completely dry the ginseng and turn it into powder," Lu Jueyu said.

"I still have some ginseng powder at home, so I can wait."

"Okay."

After reaching an agreement, Doctor Xie picked up the dried herbs needed for Su Lanying’s medicine and asked, "How much are these worth?"

"There is no need to pay for these herbs. Just take them as a gift from me," Lu Jueyu replied casually.

Having spent half his savings, Doctor Xie was happy to save some money. He didn’t refuse and left in a good mood with a basket of dried herbs.

Not long after, the children returned from school. Running into the house, Dong Huang shouted, "Mother, we are back."

Hearing her voice, Lu Jueyu walked out of the herb shed and saw her children returning with Chen Jianmin, Chen Jianguo, and Feng Lin.

Seeing them, she smiled and said, "You are back. Go wash your hands and have lunch first. If you are still full, Mother made some herbal tea and mung bean soup—you can have that instead."

"Aunt Li," Chen Jianmin, Chen Jianguo, and Feng Lin greeted her.

Lu Jueyu nodded at them and added, "I made your portions too. Go eat and rest first."

"Thank you, Aunt Li," they said in unison.

After they went to wash their hands, Dong Li walked over and asked, "Mother, how are you feeling today? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Patting her son’s arm, Lu Jueyu replied, "Mother is fine. Go have your lunch first."

"Okay," Dong Li nodded before heading to the backyard.

While the children took a break and ate their lunch, Lu Jueyu went to the bedroom and entered her space. Inside, she opened the space store and selected vegetable seeds.

After calculating the number of greenhouses and plots her family had, she bought a variety of vegetables and chili peppers. Once she was done, she went to the treasury room and took out 100,000 yuan.

This money would be given to her daughter and Feng Lin since they were the ones who found the ginseng.
