Chapter 1996 Conspiracy to Seize the Wang Family's Assets: Shen Qiushan to Sue Zhao Jun (8k Two-in-One)
"Huh?" Upon hearing Zhao Youcai mention Niu Xiaoyanzhu, Wang Meilan immediately stood up.
"Where is it?" Wang Meilan asked with wide eyes. Zhao Youcai replied with his small eyes, "It went into that pastry shop over there."
"A pastry shop?" Upon hearing this, Wang Meilan turned her head and followed the smell, looking across the street.
There was a state-run pastry shop there, from which wafted the sweet aroma of baking rice cakes.
Normally, Wang Meilan would have waved her hand and led her people in for a large-scale shopping spree.
At this moment, Wang Meilan didn't care about the pastries or anything else. She got up, climbed over the barrier, and got out of the car. As she landed, she asked Zhao Youcai, "Did he go into that room?"
"Lan," Zhao Youcai stopped Wang Meilan and said, "that doesn't seem to be a case of small eyes."
"Look at you!" Hearing Zhao Youcai's ambiguous answer, Wang Meilan frowned and said, "Is it true or not?"
"Yes!" Zhao Youcai suddenly changed his mind, but the next second he said, "But not small eyes."
With his way of speaking, it's no wonder Wang Meilan was furious.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Wang Meilan's eyes widened, but Zhao Youcai said, "That person looks a lot like Xiao Yanzhu, but younger, only about thirty years old. I think he should be his son."
"How do you know it's his son? Just because he looks like him?" Hearing Zhao Youcai say this, Wang Meilan felt that his words were somewhat unbelievable.
“Hmm!” Zhao Youcai nodded emphatically and gestured with his hand, saying, “I can recognize his family members just by looking at their eyes.”
The "small-eyed boy" that Zhao Youcai mentioned was the son of the "big-eyed boy with a big beard" who used to be a big name in Shibagangzi.
The bearded man had a pair of large eyes, with pupils as big as a cow's eyes.
In addition, since his surname is Niu (牛), people gave him the nickname "Big-Eyed Niu".
Niu Da Yanzi's son has eyes just like his, and they're not small either. But since his father is called Da Yanzi (Big Eyes), he can only be called Xiao Yanzi (Small Eyes).
Previously, when Wang Sanxi went to the Zhao family compound to negotiate, he revealed that Wang Dabazhang had held shares in several factories in Shanhe and Daohua counties in his early years, and that there were even stock certificates left behind.
But Wang Meilan had never seen these things before, let alone Wang Qiang.
According to Zhao Youcai's speculation, these things were probably entrusted to Niu Xiaoyanzhu by Wang Dabazhang.
Today, Zhao Youcai said he saw someone who looked like Niu Xiaoyanzhuzi's son, but Wang Meilan was somewhat skeptical and said, "You must be mistaken. Niu Xiaoyanzhuzi and the others have all moved to Lingnan."
But as soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, Zhao Youcai said, "Lan, I was just looking at Wang Sanxi."
Upon hearing Zhao Youcai's words, Wang Meilan's expression immediately changed drastically: "Where is he?"
Zhao Youcai pointed to the pastry shop and said, "He went into that shop with that guy who looks like a cow with small eyes."
"Slap! Slap!" As soon as Zhao Youcai finished speaking, he received two punches from Wang Meilan on his shoulder and head.
"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was a little confused, but Wang Meilan gritted her teeth in anger and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
After saying that, Wang Meilan quickly walked across the street.
Seeing this, Zhao Youcai quickly followed.
The truck wasn't originally parked directly opposite the pastry shop. And just as it was getting close to the other side, a donkey cart came from the east and stopped right in front of the pastry shop.
Zhao Youcai grabbed Wang Meilan's arm and pulled her towards the eaves of the pastry shop, trying to squeeze through the window and into the main entrance.
Following Zhao Youcai's lead, Wang Meilan reached the corner of the west wall. As she turned to face the door, she came face to face with the donkey.
For some reason, Wang Meilan glanced at it casually, and the donkey was instantly startled, its mane standing on end.
Donkey, donkey, donkeys get all frisky. The cart driver sensed something was wrong and quickly grabbed the reins.
Just then, a voice came from the westernmost room in the row of shops that was selling pastries: "Who is Wang Changfu to you?"
"Huh?" Wang Meilan and Zhao Youcai stopped in their tracks, and then they heard Wang Sanxi's voice: "Wang Changfu is my older brother."
Immediately afterwards, another unfamiliar voice came from the gap in the screen window: "It's my uncle."
"What the hell?" the first voice asked. "What about Wang Changfu's children?"
"They're all dead," Wang Sanxi answered decisively. "They're all gone."
Wang Meilan: "..."
Zhao Youcai: "..."
At this moment, the unfamiliar voice said, "Comrade, this pastry shop used to be my uncle's fresh produce shop, but it was confiscated by the government. Now you're saying you can get it back? Look, the property deed is right here."
When these words reached Wang Meilan's ears, her eyes widened, and she turned to rush towards the door.
Fortunately, Zhao Youcai reacted quickly, covering Wang Meilan's mouth with one hand and pulling her behind the west wall with the other.
From this vantage point, one can still hear clearly what the people inside are saying.
"How come you have Wang Changfu's property deed?"
The unfamiliar voice continued, "Ah, my uncle's child died when he was very young. Later, I took care of him in his old age and saw him off in death. In the end, all these things of his came into my possession."
"Oh, is that so? I see that this is a pre-1949 property deed, which is correct. It's just... the house can't be returned now."
Upon hearing this, the unfamiliar voice sounded somewhat anxious as it said, "Didn't they say they'd return it? They've already returned it to my family."
Where are you from?
"Baishan in Jilin Province!"
"Jilin Baishan? Then how did you take care of Wang Changfu in his old age?"
This question seemed to put the other party in a difficult position. The unfamiliar voice hesitated for two seconds before saying, "Well... I sent it to my uncle, and then my family moved away."
"Ah... every place has its own order. You say the houses will be returned, but what about our shops? What about all these dozens of people?"
"No, comrade," Wang Sanxi said hastily, seemingly also getting anxious. "Didn't the government say they would return it?"
"That depends on the situation. In this case, the house is unlikely to be returned; at most, you can get a few years of fixed interest."
"What is fixed interest?" Wang Sanxi asked, and the other side replied, "Fixed interest means a fixed interest rate. For example, if this house is worth 20,000 yuan, you can get 5% of 20,000 yuan a year, which is 1,000 yuan."
"They'll give you twenty years, and if you pay them 20,000 yuan, then the government will have bought the house for you."
“That works too!” the unfamiliar voice said. “We agree, it’s fine.”
“Your agreement now won’t work,” the pastry shop employee said. “Just because you say Wang Changfu is your boss doesn’t mean he is.”
"What should we do then?"
There was no reply from the other end, but instead the sound of pages turning could be heard.
After about seven or eight seconds, someone said, "It says on the top that Wang Changfu's family lives in Shibadaogang. Where is Shibadaogang?"
“Eighteen ridges…” Wang Sanxi said, “This place now belongs to the forest area.”
Which forest area?
"Yong'an Forest Area".
"Then go to that forest area and get a certificate."
"Do I need to get a certificate from that forest area?" the unfamiliar voice said. "Can't I just get one from my home?"
"Can you believe that? You have to go to Wang Changfu's place, the old Eighteen Hills, now some kind of forest area. Get a certificate proving who Wang Changfu is to you, proving that Wang Changfu has no children, proving that you are the one who took care of Wang Changfu in his old age and saw him off in his final days."
"Is it that complicated?" Wang Sanxi asked, and the other side replied, "What are you thinking? After all these years, aren't you your children? Just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it's yours."
"Well, we're all here..."
"You come? No one can come! Alright, go back and get the certificates, then come back."
At this moment, Wang Meilan was about to walk out from behind the west wall, but was once again pulled back by Zhao Youcai.
Wang Meilan stared wide-eyed at Zhao Youcai, but Zhao Youcai shook his head at her, signaling her to calm down.
At this moment, Wang Meilan looked up at the brick wall that had turned yellow from years of exposure to the sun.
Wang Meilan never imagined that this pastry shop was actually her family's business, and the fresh produce shop that her father had mentioned countless times.
She had overheard the entire conversation inside the room. It was clear that Wang Sanxi had conspired with someone to embezzle his family's assets, and as Zhao Youcai had said, that person was undoubtedly connected to Niu Xiaoyanzhu.
Thinking of this, Wang Meilan was filled with rage and wished she could go out immediately, call everyone off the bus, and beat up Wang Sanxi and his companion.
But Zhao Youcai stopped her twice, which brought Wang Meilan back to her senses. The couple had lived together for nearly thirty years, and Wang Meilan knew Zhao Youcai well, knowing that he could handle this matter with ease.
At this moment, Zhao Youcai whispered to Wang Meilan, "Lan, don't be angry yet. You'll see how I deal with them later."
With Zhao Youcai's words, Wang Meilan felt more at ease.
After calming Wang Meilan down, Zhao Youcai poked his head out. Seeing Wang Sanxi leading someone eastward, he waved his hand, called to Wang Meilan, and the couple slipped onto the Liberation truck.
"Let's go, brother." After getting into the car, Zhao Youcai waved to Zhao Weipeng to drive.
"What's wrong, bro?" Zhao Weipeng said as he started the car. "My dad and I were thinking... you two should go down and buy some dry food. My dad told me to go down too. But when I looked, you two had gone to some corner of the house."
Zhao Youcai remained silent, his eyes fixed on the rearview mirror. He could no longer see Wang Sanxi and the other man.
As the car started, Zhao Youcai told Grandpa Zhao and Zhao Weipeng what he had just heard and what he had deduced.
"Brother, aren't you going to do something about this?"
……
"Brother-in-law, why didn't you do anything to him back then?" This was the question Zhao Ling asked Zhao Youcai as soon as the car stopped in front of the Zhao family compound after returning to Yong'an Village.
As the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, Zhao Ling panicked when she heard that outsiders were trying to seize her family's property: "Brother-in-law, if they had tried to fight back, I would have scratched them!"
"What's all the noise about?" Zhao Youcai frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go back and eat first."
After saying that, Zhao Youcai walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
By this time, the old lady and Ma Ling had already prepared dinner: meat sauce, tomato and egg, and green beans with pork—three kinds of braised dishes served with cold noodles.
After the children finished eating, they went to play in the village together. Li Dayong, Li Dazhi, and Lin Xue, who had returned from get off work, along with Ma Ling, the old lady, and Li Tongyun, who stayed at home, had been waiting until now.
When Zhao Youcai and the others returned, the old lady invited them to wash their hands and eat.
After Zhao Youcai washed his hands and sat down, Li Dayong had already scooped the noodles into his bowl.
Zhao Youcai took the bowl and was about to scoop out the meat sauce.
Just then, Wang Meilan nudged Zhao Youcai and asked, "His dad, what are you thinking?"
"What do you mean, what did I think?" Zhao Youcai scooped two spoonfuls of meat sauce into his bowl, then picked up some cucumber shreds, saying, "We'll talk about it after we finish eating."
"Brother-in-law," Zhao Ling said from the side, "how can my sister and I eat if this matter isn't sorted out?"
After saying this, Zhao Ling glanced at Ma Ling's belly before continuing, "The amount of money doesn't matter. It's fine if we can get it back and give it all to Xiao Jun's child. The key is not to let outsiders make fun of it."
"What's wrong, brother?" Hearing Zhao Ling's words, Li Dayong hurriedly asked Zhao Youcai, "What money?"
Zhao Youcai briefly recounted the incident, which aroused righteous indignation among the crowd.
"Outrageous!" Li Dayong slammed his fist on the table and shouted angrily. Then he turned to Zhao Youcai and asked, "Brother, why don't you do something about him?"
“Exactly!” Wang Meilan chimed in, “If it were up to me, I would have just left them there!”
After organizing several fierce battles in the Yong'an forest area, Wang Meilan's speech changed.
As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, Li Tongyun asked Sun Shi, "Aunt Sun, what were you doing back then? If I were anywhere, I would have kicked them right there!"
"Go to hell! You shut up!" Seeing Li Tongyun's fierce and aggressive demeanor, even the gentle and refined Lin Xue couldn't help but swear.
However, Madam Xie put down her rice bowl and chopsticks with a wronged expression, saying, "Xiaoyun, you're the one who said that. Didn't your aunt know at the time? If your aunt had known, they wouldn't have been able to eat tonight."
After saying this, Xie Sunshi turned to Zhao Youcai and said, "Brother-in-law, why didn't you organize a fight against them back then?"
"What are you doing?" Zhao Youcai said irritably, "All you ever do is get things done!"
As he spoke, Zhao Youcai waved his hand and said, "The old man used to have those hunting maps, maybe they're still in Niu Xiaoyanzhu's hands."
"The map of Dasheng Wula?" Upon hearing Zhao Youcai mention the map of Dasheng Wula, Wang Meilan's expression changed instantly.
Wang Meilan had previously seen three maps of Dashengwula, and they were marked with signs indicating gold mines.
That's a gold mine!
Wang Meilan was so excited just thinking about it!
Upon hearing Zhao Youcai's words, Wang Meilan subconsciously ignored some things and stared at Zhao Youcai with her big eyes.
Similarly, everyone else's eyes were fixed on Zhao Youcai's face.
Then they saw Zhao Youcai suddenly look up and laugh.
Don't be fooled by the fact that these people in the room are now as close as family; few of them know Zhao Youcai's background.
Hearing Zhao Youcai's laugh, Wang Meilan, Li Dayong, and Li Dazhi all knew that Wang Sanxi and his companion were in trouble.
The others, however, all looked at Zhao Youcai with puzzled expressions.
As the laughter subsided, Zhao Youcai looked at Wang Meilan and asked, "Lan, if Wang Sanxi and the others want to earn our fixed interest, don't they need to provide a certificate?"
“Ah…” Wang Meilan responded, but before she could ask any questions, Zhao Youcai continued, “They can’t possibly come to our forest area to get a certificate.”
After hearing Zhao Youcai's words, Wang Meilan thought for a moment and then nodded.
Nowadays, their family can do whatever they want in this forest area. If Wang Sanxi and the descendants of that little-eyed ox come to Yong'an to get fake certificates, aren't they just walking into a trap?
Seeing Wang Meilan nod, Zhao Youcai added, "I reckon these two are definitely up to no good."
"What kind of crooked tricks are you up to, brother-in-law?" Zhao Ling couldn't help but ask. Zhao Youcai replied, "They'll make fake letters of introduction, and since they have the property deeds, they can't check too closely over there. There will definitely be an agreement, specifying how much fixed interest they'll receive and what that will be like."
"Give it to them, then what do we do?" Wang Meilan pressed. Zhao Youcai replied, "That's it? Doesn't our son know anyone at the county police station?"
"Huh?" Wang Meilan was taken aback, and then she heard Zhao Youcai say, "When we arrested that murderer, did the deputy director of the county's Public Security Bureau come? They were all up the mountain doing this and that."
“Yes, yes, yes,” Wang Meilan responded three times, while Zhao Youcai laughed and said, “We obtained certificates from the forest farm, the village, and the local police station beforehand.”
After that, we'll find a few old people in the village and have them write testimonies saying that Wang the Rich Man is our father, right? Then we'll send his son to the police station, and they'll catch him red-handed. He'll have to give us back whatever he took.”
Zhao Youcai's words changed the way everyone looked at him.
Ma Ling pursed her lips. She had heard people say "Ergudong zaza" since she was a child, but she never knew what this nickname meant.
After marrying into the family, Ma Ling felt even more that her father-in-law was a good person. Although he was a bit demanding, he didn't do much except for beating oxen and tigers.
But today, Ma Ling witnessed another side of Zhao Youcai.
However, Ma Ling didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhao Youcai's plan. On the contrary, Ma Ling believed that Zhao Youcai was doing this to protect his family.
"Clap!" At this moment, Li Dayong clapped his hands and gave Zhao Youcai a thumbs up, saying, "Brother, you're really something!"
After saying this, Li Dayong paused for a moment, then added, "If the police want to arrest Wang Sanxi and his accomplice, they'll have to beg us for leniency. We'll ask them to give us all the maps that Old Wang left behind."
Hearing Li Dayong's words, Zhao Youcai smiled, then picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat!"
After Zhao Youcai finished speaking, Wang Meilan invited everyone to sit down at the table.
Although there were fewer people eating at the Zhao family's house today, the laughter was just as loud as usual.
After finishing their meal, Jin Xiaomei and the others helped Wang Meilan clean up and then went home as a family.
I did a lot of work down the mountain today, and I have to get up early to go down the mountain again tomorrow.
So Zhao Youcai went back to the house, washed the feet of his two daughters and himself, and then got into bed.
After seeing off the diners, Wang Meilan first went to the west room to talk with Ma Ling for a while. Only after Ma Ling lay down did she return to the east room.
Upon entering the house, Wang Meilan saw Zhao Youcai and his two daughters lying down.
She walked to the side, sat on a small stool, took off her socks, and after putting her feet into the basin of water, Wang Meilan asked Zhao Youcai, "Did Dad leave behind a few of those... hunting maps?"
"I don't know," Zhao Youcai said vaguely, "but the maps of our forest area used to be all in Dad's hands."
"A map of our forest area?" Wang Meilan was taken aback, and then Zhao Youcai said, "Yes, when our forest area was established, I heard that old Director Zhang say that our forest area was divided into more than 3,000 square kilometers, right?"
Oh no... I'll go home and have a drink with my dad, and tell him about this. My dad said... he said there are eighty-nine old hamlets in this forest area.
Logically speaking, these eighty-nine old villages should each have eighty-nine outstanding young immortals…
Zhao Youcai's voice grew softer and softer, as if he were about to fall asleep.
"Slap!" Wang Meilan slapped Zhao Youcai on the forehead.
The slap wasn't hard, and it didn't hurt, but Zhao Youcai instantly perked up.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Youcai, who was about to fall asleep but was woken up, was furious and growled at Wang Meilan in a low voice.
"Come here!" Wang Meilan pointed at Zhao Youcai and said, "Get up!"
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Youcai's face showed both anger and confusion.
"What's wrong with me?" Wang Meilan glared at her and said angrily, "Dad told you about this, why didn't you tell us?"
"I..." Zhao Youcai's anger quickly faded, while Wang Meilan said somewhat exasperatedly, "As soon as I asked you, you told me everything, you told me everything. Why didn't you tell me something so important?"
At this point, Wang Meilan got up angrily and climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) without even wiping her feet.
She grabbed Zhao Youcai's arm and said, "Eighty-nine Miao Immortal Child, why didn't you say so earlier?"
“No… Lan’a, there aren’t that many.” Zhao Youcai said, “Let me explain.”
Having lived together for nearly thirty years, Zhao Youcai knew Wang Meilan's personality all too well. He knew that if he didn't make things clear today, he wouldn't be able to sleep.
Helpless, Zhao Youcai sat up and said to Wang Meilan, "How did Lao'anzi come about? Well, in the beginning, people used clubs to thresh seeds in this place. The seeds fell nearby and grew into clubs, which were called club sons. And when those club sons threshed seeds, they became club grandsons."
Then comes the great-grandson, and after that, the great-great-grandson. And so it goes, generation after generation, forming an old village.
The very first ginseng might have been harvested and then taken away the following year. At that point, it wouldn't be a great celestial being anymore; it might just be a lampstand.
But if it's never lifted up, wouldn't it become a giant fairy child after being carried around for generations?
"Ah..." After hearing Zhao Youcai's explanation, Wang Meilan understood: "In other words, there may be a great immortal child in Lao'anzi, or there may not be."
“That’s right!” Zhao Youcai nodded and said, “Not to mention others, just look at our son, how many old hamlets has he waded through in the past two years? He’s waded through so many…”
At this point, Zhao Youcai couldn't continue. His son had... found the Sanmiao Ginseng King; if word got out, the mountain bandits would curse him to death.
But Wang Meilan nodded in agreement with Zhao Youcai's words.
But then Wang Meilan suddenly said, "But even without the Great Immortal Child, that old man's place is still a source of money."
"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Ah, right."
As soon as Zhao Youcai finished speaking, his wife's eyes lit up.
The room wasn't very bright, but the light in Wang Meilan's eyes seemed brighter than the lamplight to Zhao Youcai, almost blindingly so.
"Eighty-nine old houses!" Wang Meilan exclaimed excitedly, "That's a fortune! We've made a killing!"
They're swearing for no reason, how agitated must they be?
"Lan'er." Zhao Youcai sensed that Wang Meilan was not in a good mood, so he quickly put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Let's go to sleep."
"What are you sleeping for?" Wang Meilan pushed Zhao Youcai's hand away and said, "Where are my family's maps?"
“A… map? A map… might be in Niu Xiaoyanzhu’s hands.” Zhao Youcai said, “It might also be in someone else’s hands.”
"What do you mean 'can't be sure'?" Wang Meilan asked anxiously, turning to Zhao Youcai, "If it's not in his hands, whose hands could it be in?"
"How would I know?" Zhao Youcai looked innocent, but Wang Meilan didn't think so.
"If you don't know, who does?" Wang Meilan punched Zhao Youcai and said, "Our dad tells you everything, but you don't tell me anything afterward."
"Sigh!" Zhao Youcai sighed and said, "Lan, I'm not trying to be mean, but my dad always says these things to me before he drinks. How am I supposed to remember them?"
At this point, Zhao Youcai shrugged and said, "It's just that sometimes when the conversation gets carried away, I remember something from that topic. Otherwise, how am I supposed to think of anything if you leave me to just stand there blankly?"
Wang Meilan thought Zhao Youcai's words made sense. However, she was still angry and immediately punched Zhao Youcai twice, saying, "Who told you to talk about my father? Why are you talking about my father?"
Zhao Youcai pursed his lips, but could only coax Wang Meilan, "Lan, how could I dare to talk about our father? It's just... I have a feeling that the hunting map might not even be in Niu Xiaoyanzhu's hands."
"What?!" Wang Meilan was instantly shocked upon hearing this. Eighty-nine maps of the hunting grounds represented eighty-nine old villages.
Even if there aren't any great immortal children inside, there must be lampstands, fourth-grade leaves, and fifth-grade leaves, right? Wouldn't it be better for my son to take the map and lead the way directly there than to wander aimlessly all over the mountains?
And if you're lucky, you might find one or two ginseng kings on the way, wouldn't that be another opportunity to profit?
"Why isn't that certain?" Wang Meilan asked. Zhao Youcai replied, "I feel that given our father's personality, he'll probably entrust all the property deeds and factory stocks to one person. As for the rest..."
Zhao Youcai was interrupted by Wang Meilan before he could finish speaking.
“That’s right!” Wang Meilan exclaimed, her eyes wide. “Our family doesn’t just own that pastry shop; we also have shares in a cement factory, a flax mill, and a winery!”
After saying this, Wang Meilan slapped her thigh and said, "Damn it, if Wang Sanxi and his buddy steal my money, I'll kill them!"
"Lan, don't worry." Zhao Youcai comforted Wang Meilan helplessly, saying, "Nobody can get their hands on our money. Even if they take it, they'll have to obediently return it to us later."
After saying this, Zhao Youcai added, "We don't know where Niu Xiaoyanzhuzi lives, but we can find Wang Sanxi."
"Where should we look?" Wang Meilan asked. Zhao Youcai replied, "The old lady my son rescued in Lingnan. Her eldest son works in the armed forces department."
"Ah, ah." Wang Meilan recognized the name and immediately nodded, "When our son got married, her family even came."
“Yes, it was her second son and grandson who came,” Zhao Youcai said. “Her eldest son was able to find Wang Sanxi, and besides, Wang Sanxi came back recently and stayed at Wang Dalong’s house for several days, didn’t he?”
“Ah, that’s right.” Wang Meilan smiled when she heard Zhao Youcai say that.
Seeing Wang Meilan smile, Zhao Youcai finally spoke up: "Our father arranged for quite a few people to go to Lingnan before. We don't know who these people are. But... Wang Sanxi and Niu Xiaoyan should know."
"Then we'll do it the way I told you before dinner, and we'll make sure they're properly dressed. We'll also find out who's there and where they are, and then we'll search for them one by one."
"Okay!" Zhao Youcai's words persuaded Wang Meilan.
While the couple were plotting their scheme at home, in a ward on the second floor of the Fusong Red Cross Hospital, Wu Baoguo was dozing off on a stool.
On the hospital bed, Shen Qiushan lay pale-faced with his eyes closed.
In the afternoon, Shen Qiushan vomited blood due to anger, and Wu Baoguo took him to the hospital for a series of examinations. The hospital ultimately concluded that Shen Qiushan's liver was damaged by extreme anger, and the resulting bleeding was caused by the liver fire surging and affecting his heart, lungs, and stomach.
This disease is not only serious, but it can also leave a lasting effect and cause recurrent episodes.
Wu Baoguo was a good man. He knew that his nephew was not a good person, but for the sake of his sister, Wu Baoguo really couldn't bear to abandon Shen Qiushan.
"Fifth...fifth uncle." Suddenly, a weak voice came, and Wu Baoguo was startled and immediately raised his head.
"Qiu Shan!" Seeing Shen Qiu Shan open his eyes, Wu Baoguo rushed to the bedside and said, "Wait for me, I'll go call a doctor for you!"
"Fifth Uncle, don't go." To Wu Baoguo's surprise, Shen Qiushan stopped him and asked, "Where is Zhao Jun?"
"Who?" Shen Qiushan's voice was very soft, and Wu Baoguo didn't hear it clearly.
"Zhao Jun!" Shen Qiushan took a deep breath and shouted out the name he hated to the core.
"Zhao Jun?" Wu Baoguo was completely confused. "He's gone. Why are you looking for him?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Baoguo sighed and said, "Qiu Shan, if they raise the price... you won't be able to find them unless they do something wrong."
"Fifth Uncle," Shen Qiushan said, his eyes reddening, "he wants to use my Ginseng King to hold a Ginseng King Conference."
When he said those words, Shen Qiushan felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation.
This morning, his ginseng king conference turned into a joke.
Three days later, Zhao Jun was going to hold a Ginseng King Conference with the ginseng that Shen Qiushan believed belonged to him. How could Shen Qiushan possibly accept this?
"Sigh!" Wu Baoguo sighed heavily again and said, "Qiu Shan, people can just leave their sticks lying around and chew them with sauce without any problems."
After saying this, Wu Baoguo tucked the blanket around Shen Qiushan and said, "Qiushan, stop thinking about Zhao Jun. You should take good care of yourself these next few days. Once you're better, go home, take out that ginseng tree, and share it with Shen Qiucheng and the others. Otherwise, they definitely won't agree to it."
Hearing Wu Baoguo's words, Shen Qiushan couldn't stop the tears from flowing: "Fifth Uncle, the ginseng in that tree really wasn't taken out by me, it belonged to Zhao Jun..."
"What does this have to do with them?" Wu Baoguo couldn't help but interrupt Shen Qiushan.
"Fifth Uncle..." Shen Qiushan cried and sobbed softly, "He stuffed that military water bottle into his hands..."
"Sigh!" Wu Baoguo sighed again, then said to Shen Qiushan, "Qiushan, wait for me to go out and see if there's a doctor on duty. I'll call him over to take a look at you."
Wu Baoguo's statement indicated that he still didn't believe Shen Qiushan. There was nothing that could be done; Shen Qiushan was known for his unscrupulous behavior. Otherwise, Shen Qiucheng and Song Daikui wouldn't have been convinced there was ginseng in the tree, and Shen Qiushan wouldn't have kept it for himself.
"Fifth Uncle..." Just as Wu Baoguo was about to walk out the door, Shen Qiushan struggled to get up and said, "I want to go to Shanhe, I want to sue Zhao Jun!"
