Su Jinyue took the ginseng and felt the spiritual energy seeping out from it. She could not help but feel excited. “Zhihong, leave this ginseng with me first.” Her absorption of the spiritual energy from the ginseng and it had no effect on the ginseng.
“I’ll go and separate these medicinal herbs.” Fang Zhihong nodded with a smile before carrying the basket on his back and walking towards the backyard. Jinyue is definitely so happy because she has never seen a ginseng that is more than a hundred years old. A hundred-year-old ginseng is not something that can be obtained just because one wants it. This requires luck. Uncle Xu also said that he had been in Shangxin Village for more than twenty years, but this was the first time he had come across a ginseng that was more than a hundred years old.
“Okay!” Su Jinyue looked at the ginseng lovingly.
Fang Zhihong returned after separating the herbs. When he saw that Su Jinyue was still looking at the ginseng, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Do you like this ginseng that much? Why don’t you hug it and sleep tonight?”
“A hundred-year-old ginseng is very rare. Of course I like it. I’ve decided to hug it to sleep tonight,” Su Jinyue said with a mischievous smile. After spending a month together, she had already treated Fang Zhihong as her family. Fang Zhihong also took great care of her like an older brother.
Fang Zhihong walked to Su Jinyue’s side and sat down. “You haven’t finished reading your letter, right? Leave this place to me. Go into your room and read the letter.” Every time she received Zhan Yihan’s letter, Jin Yue’s mood would be especially good. From this, it could be seen how much she cared about Zhan Yihan.
“I’ll look at it later. You’re tired after just coming back. Go and rest.” It was not an easy task to go up the mountain to pick herbs. The fact that they could find the ginseng meant that they had entered the depths of the mountains this time. Even if they did not pick herbs, just going up and down the mountain was very tiring. She planned to search the mountain after cultivating tonight. If her Teacher and the rest could find ginseng, it meant that there were other spiritual herbs in the mountain.
“Go, go, go. Read the letter. Otherwise, your soul will fly away while you’re sitting here,” Fang Zhihong teased.
Su Jinyue rolled her eyes at Fang Zhihong coquettishly. She pulled open the drawer and took out a small package before heading inside.
When she returned to her room, Su Jinyue placed the small bag and the ginseng on the bed. She took out the letter from her pocket and opened it, reading the unfinished contents.
Jin Yue, I’ve already arranged a school for you and also found a house for you. Once you arrive in the capital city, you just need to pass the entrance examination to be admitted to the school.
Before coming to the capital, give Yuanxing a call in advance and I’ll pick you up.
Yihan, who looks forward to your arrival.
Su Jinyue placed the letter on her chest, her face filled with a sweet smile. “I’ll be going to the capital soon. I’ll give you a surprise then.” Now that she had complete trust in Fang Zhihong, she was at ease with him taking care of her Teacher. It was time for her to pursue her dreams.
Putting the letter away, Su Jinyue opened the small package and saw an exquisite wooden box inside. Opening the wooden box, she found a Titoni female watch and a note.
Picking up the note, it read: I think it suits you. Too bad I can’t put it on for you personally. I hope you like it.
Picking up the watch, Su Jinyue toyed with it lovingly. In her previous life, Yihan had also given her a similar watch. After she got rich, she had also bought a few watches for herself, and she had also received gifts from her friends and clients. However, she had always only liked the watch that Yihan gave her.
Even after being sentenced to death in prison, the last request she made was for the judge to show mercy and let her keep this watch. Unexpectedly, in this life, Yihan gave this watch to her again. However, it was two years earlier than in her previous life. She wondered if he had already bought it a long time ago in her previous life.
Wearing the watch on her wrist, Su Jinyue smiled and caressed it. “I didn’t expect us to be so fated with each other.” In her previous life, she understood it too late. If she had known that the person she loved was Yihan, she wouldn’t have been harmed so badly by Mo Heng and Song Yiren.
Someone knocked on the door lightly and Xu Tiansheng’s voice rang out, “Jin Yue.”
“Coming.” Su Jinyue stood up and opened the door. “Teacher, you’re back.”
Xu Tiansheng nodded. “Teacher has something to tell you.”
“Okay!” Su Jinyue moved aside and let Xu Tiansheng enter the room.
“Let’s sit down and talk.” Xu Tiansheng pointed to a chair at the side. After Jin Yue and Yiren had grown up, he had rarely sought them out for a heart-to-heart talk. After all, they were girls, and it was inconvenient for him to be alone with them.
Su Jinyue picked up the hot water bottle on the table and poured a cup of water for Xu Tiansheng. She sat down and waited for Xu Tiansheng to speak.
“Jin Yue, you’re already engaged to Yihan, and you’re no longer a child. Are you going to stay here and wait for him to come back in the future, or do you have other plans?” Xu Tiansheng asked. Jin Yue was a child with her own thoughts, and he felt that it was impossible to keep her in Shangxin Village. Moreover, Jin Yue had already grown up, so it was time for her to look for her family. Otherwise, this might become her regret in the future.
Su Jinyue hesitated for a moment before saying, “Teacher, I plan to go to the capital city. Yihan has already arranged a school for me. I want to enrich myself and learn more.” She felt a little guilty. Teacher had raised her up, but she only wanted to do her own things.
Xu Tiansheng nodded. “Have you ever thought of looking for your family?”
Su Jinyue lowered her head and looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist. In her previous life, she had always hated her family because she was only so young when they abandoned her. Even if there were no wild beasts, hunger would still take her life. Therefore, she had never thought of looking for them, but in this life, her thoughts had changed. If her family really wanted to abandon her, they wouldn’t have mistaken her for Song Yiren.
“I’ll look for them in the future.” When she had the ability, she would look for her family. Based on Song Yiren’s words in her previous life, she could tell that her family wasn’t simple.
Xu Tiansheng took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to Su Jinyue. “Take this money. Don’t make things difficult for yourself when you’re outside.” Although he couldn’t bear for her to leave, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.
“Teacher, I don’t want it.” Su Jinyue quickly pushed it back. How can she take Teacher’s money?
“This is the dowry I saved for you. Although it’s not much, it’s a token of my goodwill. If you don’t accept it, does that mean you don’t want to acknowledge me as your Teacher?” Xu Tiansheng looked at Su Jinyue with a straight face. In his heart, Jin Yue and Yiren were the same. He had prepared a sum of money for both of them and planned to give it to them when they got married. Since Jin Yue had already decided to leave Shangxin Village, he naturally had to give this money to her first. Unlike the village, money was needed outside.
Taking the money from him, Su Jinyue felt a lump in her throat. She sniffed hard. “Teacher, I will come back to visit you often.” When she earned some money, as long as her Teacher was willing, she would definitely bring him over. In her heart, her Teacher was her father and the person she had to be filial to for the rest of her life.. So she had to work hard to become stronger and stronger to protect the people she wanted to protect.
