Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work
Chapter 367: Cooperation
"Can you really give us two pills?" Mu Guiwei asked, full of joy.
Yi Roujing nodded, "As for the others, let’s discuss in detail on the seventh, and I’ll hand over those two pills to you then."
"Oh, okay, okay, why calling you respectfully, just call me uncle."
Mu Guixian chuckled, "Roujing, just call him Uncle Guiwei."
"Uncle Guiwei."
"Alright, alright, Roujing, you truly are our Mu Family’s blessing," Mu Guiwei said happily, "Well..."
Mu Guixian understood her younger brother, knowing he’d start rambling, and quickly pulled him aside, "Roujing, we’re leaving now, rest assured about your sister-in-law’s surgery, I’m personally handling it."
"Roujing, my second sister is known as the gynecological expert, you can be completely at ease with her involved, I..."
"Okay, that’s enough, no need for self-praising, more than enough."
Watching the siblings argue and joke as they walked away, Yi Roujing felt a bit sentimental, thinking how wonderful it was.
"Roujing, why did it take so long? Are you feeling unwell?" Seeing Yi Weiliang approaching with concern, Yi Roujing laughed, realizing she had such caring people around her too.
"It’s nothing, Third Brother, I have something to discuss." Upon returning to the ward, Yi Roujing mentioned the Mu Family wanting to buy Life-saving Pills.
"Just give them two pills." Liu Huilan said generously, Xie Chenyan was filled with renewed hope, needing to properly thank them indeed.
"If we give them the pills, they’ll owe us a huge favor." Yi Roujing then explained her encounters with the Mu Family.
"Three thousand per pill?" Yi Weiliang was stunned, with Liu Huilan wearing a similar expression, and Xie Chenyan equally shocked.
"So, it’s this expensive." Liu Huilan stumbled over her words.
"Your grandfather left the prescription, Mom, you’re his only child, so you have the say over his things, should we sell the prescription?"
Liu Huilan fell silent at the words, and when she looked up, she turned to Yi Weiliang, "Old Third, your grandfather entrusted the matters only to Roujing, she alone knows the significance of that place, do you understand why?"
Yi Weiliang smiled, "Mom, only Roujing inherited Grandfather’s talents in our family, while us three brothers just don’t have the knack for it, we won’t meddle in Grandfather’s affairs."
Liu Huilan’s face showed a comforting expression at the words, then she looked over to Xie Chenyan, who didn’t mind much, "Mom, after this ordeal, I’ve understood clearly that nothing is more important than health, we’re perfectly fine."
Liu Huilan nodded with satisfaction, "You’re not losing out, since it’s a good thing, our family has five of them, each household gets one, whether to sell or keep is up to you."
Yi Roujing watched with a smile, "Mom, I understand, I’ll decide about it."
"Let’s handle the prescription in a way that’s most beneficial to us." Yi Roujing had a plan, "We’ll share the discounts together, using Mom’s name in the profit-sharing."
Liu Huilan seemed vague, "Roujing, you decide, use your own..."
"Mom, using your name means you can decide on the profit distribution to Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, and me, isn’t that better?" Yi Roujing explained, "Using my name, it would make my three brothers uncomfortable to take more."
"Why would they be uncomfortable? Their work relies heavily on you, and they’re doing well, enjoying lifelong benefits, they’ve taken plenty, that’s enough, can’t take advantage of their sister anymore." Liu Huilan spoke candidly.
Yi Weiliang didn’t mind at all, even nodding in agreement, "Roujing, Mom’s right."
Xie Chenyan secretly laughed, liking the atmosphere of the Yi Family, especially the relations with her parents-in-law and husband, understanding the greed for property from experiences with her own brother. She scorned that mentality and agreed with Yi Weiliang.
"I’ll handle it myself, then." Yi Roujing said, half helplessly and half humorously.
"Mom, do you have the Life-saving Pills with you?" Yi Roujing asked.
"Brought them." Liu Huilan suddenly lowered her voice, "You said they could save lives, with Chenyan’s situation, I brought them all to see if the doctors can use them."
Xie Chenyan was moved again.
Liu Huilan suddenly recalled something and quickly dug through her luggage, having casually put those five pills with clothing, realizing how careless it was considering their value.
Yi Roujing took two pills, Liu Huilan handed her the rest, "Roujing, you keep them, and give them back when we’re discharged and heading home, I wouldn’t feel safe otherwise."
Yi Roujing nodded, "Mom, these pills aren’t suitable for every ailment..."
Yi Roujing patiently explained to Liu Huilan, who, alongside the others, closely listened.
Yi Roujing headed straight to Baiqian Village, where Xu Zongyin and Xu Ancheng were present, watching Baozi build blocks in the courtyard.
"Back, what did you find?" Xu Zongyin asked with concern.
Yi Roujing explained to reassure both of them.
"Dad, Cheng, who do you think is best to collaborate with for the An Gong Life-saving Pill prescription?" Yi Roujing asked.
"You plan to sell it?" Xu Zongyin asked, slightly surprised, "I thought Ancheng was already collecting medicinal ingredients."
Xu Ancheng understood his wife, "Want to collaborate, provide the prescription, and earn profits?"
Yi Roujing smiled and nodded, "We can negotiate the percentage, I don’t want any trouble, just teach them how to make it, store it properly, help where I can."
"But the Mu Family is renowned for Western medicine, while the Zheng Family is known for Chinese medicine, An Gong Life-saving Pill is Chinese medicine." Yi Roujing explained seriously, "Considering kinship and focus, choosing the Zheng Family seems logical."
"The Mu Family primarily wants the pill for life-saving, not necessarily involved in production." Yi Roujing analyzed.
"Cheng, what do you think?" Xu Zongyin looked at his son.
"Collaborating with all three families is the best outcome." Xu Ancheng replied, visibly pleasing Xu Zongyin.
"Why?" Xu Zongyin continued probing.
Xu Ancheng laughed and explained, "Jing provides the prescription, even if it’s from the Yi Family, the external concerns fall on the Xu Family, so no matter who represents, our Xu Family is the one getting noted."
Yi Roujing knew it, hence the discussion with them.
"The Zheng Family is the best at sourcing medicinal ingredients and making the pills, and our Xu Family provides the prescription, ignoring the Zheng Family for any other would raise suspicions, so naturally, they should be included."
"Meanwhile, the Mu Family is the perfect seller." Xu Ancheng said with conviction, "They have their own Western medicine research team, market channels, and no one’s going to question their medicine sales, higher authorities approve, who could interfere?"
"The origins, production, and sales of An Gong Life-saving Pills, as long as the Mu Family comforts the authorities, it’s a safe investment, ensuring a win-win situation for all three families."
"But it means our three families will appear united to outsiders." Xu Ancheng stated deeply, "Whether to collaborate or not, that’s up to Dad."
