Chapter 559: Things Happen for a Reason

Lin Baicao stared at Lin Dongfang's actions, squinted his eyes and asked, "Wait a minute, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the end of the tea leaves, right?"

"It's tea powder, if you don't like to drink it, I won't make it for you. ”

Lin Dongfang agreed truthfully, picked up the teacup prepared for Lin Baicao, and poured the tea powder back into the tea can.

"Uncle Xiaolin, haven't you always liked to drink tea?

Su Cheng asked strangely, and hurriedly took out a box of good oolong tea from the gifts he carried.

This is a gift from South Vietnam before leaving South Vietnam, Su Liben specially explained that he must bring Lin Dongfang.

Lin Baicao took a few steps forward, snatched away the jar containing the tea leaves, and pushed the oolong tea in front of Lin Dongfang, "Su Cheng is right, you have liked to drink tea since you were a child, and now you drink tea powder, what do you mean?"

Lin Dongfang's expression froze, and he shook his head and pushed the oolong tea away, "I've drunk enough good tea, although this tea is bitter, it also has a different taste." ”

Lin Baicao's eyes were like torches, and he said lightly, "You don't have money to buy tea, right?"

In this world, no one knows his own brother better than him.

"Who said that?" Lin Dongfang gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "It's not that you don't know, I'm the vice president of the association, if you want to drink good tea, I don't know how many people will squeeze their heads and send them to my table!"

"When did you touch those tea leaves? Didn't you let your men throw them out?"

As Lin Baicao spoke, he had already opened the packaging box of oolong tea, took out the jar of tea inside, and placed it on the table.

Lin Dongfang looked up at him with a little surprise in his eyes, "How do you know?"

"I already knew about it when you first came to work at the Huaxia Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine and were still a small clerk. How can you change your stubborn temper?" Lin Baicao said firmly.

When he was studying in medical school before, Lin Dongfang was only the vice president of the student union, and some students were ready to take a shortcut to join the union to facilitate the arrangement of work in the future, so they found Lin Dongfang with a lot of luxury goods.

The result is naturally self-evident, those tens of thousands of gifts, all the poor students Lin Dongfang threw out the door.

At that time, they were very poor, Lin Dongfang and he were both arrogant, and they would never bend to the powerful and money.

So even after so many years, Lin Baicao always firmly believes that his younger brother will never fall into corruption, and will still maintain his high and honest back then.

Seeing that Lin Dongfang lowered his head and stopped making a sound, Lin Baicao simply poured out his heart and said, "We are all people of this age, loess burying our necks, what else can we not say?"

"Alas, in fact, I've been quite tired in the past few years. Lin Dongfang lowered his head, and after a long time, he sighed.

"That's right, if you're not tired, will you eat long-haired radish strips, and will you drink a few dollars a pound of tea powder?"

Lin Baicao opened the tea can, poured all the ends of several teacups into the trash, and put the oolong tea inside.

"Little brother, you came this time to get ambergris from me, right?" Lin Dongfang didn't reply, but looked at Shi Chen in front of him.

Shi Chen nodded and pleaded sincerely, "Vice President Lin, if it's possible, please give me a little." Ambergris from adult sperm whales is really, really important to me. ”

"To be honest, it's not that I won't give it to you, it's that I have something unspeakable. Lin Dongfang sighed heavily.

As he spoke, he got up and walked to the door of the room, glanced at Xue Lanfang who was lying inside, and then continued, "Seven years ago, Lan Fang suddenly collapsed, and her condition was strange, and it took me two years to find out that she had a disease called soul disorder, but it had delayed the best time for treatment. ”

Lin Baicao shook her head with emotion, "Lan Fang has been sick for seven years?"

"Yes," Lin Dongfang sighed again, "At first, she was just unwell, and with the help of a wheelchair, she could still live like a normal person." But by the time I found out about her physical condition, she was already unconscious. ”

"Dongfang, what does this have to do with ambergris?" Lin Baicao suddenly brightened, "Could it be that her illness needs ambergris to be treated?"

"Listen to me tell you slowly. Lin Dongfang waved his hand at Lin Baicao, and his vision gradually blurred due to the sour tears.

At this moment, Shang Jiangyu carried the kettle and pushed open the door of the room, "Master, hot water." ”

"Give it to me, you go out first. Su Cheng took the kettle, motioned for Shang Jiangyu to leave, and then poured hot water into each teacup.

After a while, the whole room was filled with the unique mellow aroma of oolong tea.

"After Lan Fang fell, I found out that she had soul disorder, but I had missed the best time for treatment. Lin Dongfang looked at the oolong tea in front of him, his eyes were gloomy, "I have tried both Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but it has no effect." In the end, I went through all the medical books and finally found a solution. ”

"What way?" Lin Baicao leaned forward.

"You remember when we contacted four years ago, I was bidding on ambergris overseas. This is exactly what I read in that medical book, a medicine made from ambergris from an adult sperm whale that keeps Lan Fang alive. ”

Lin Dongfang said and sighed again, "Now there is less than a third of the ambergris left, and Lan Fang doesn't know when she will wake up, so you come to ask me, it's not that I don't give it, it's that I can't give it!"

His biological brother came to the door and begged him to do something, if it weren't for this, how could he not help?

Lin Baicao finally understood the reason for Lin Dongfang's refusal before, "So you didn't give it to Shi Chen Xiaoyou because you wanted to use ambergris to continue to save Lan Fang's life?"

"That's right, little brother, and I ask for your understanding. Lin Dongfang glanced at Shi Chen guiltily, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't help it!"

As the vice president, he naturally knows that whenever you need ambergris, you are people who need it urgently, and maybe you still have a life-saving one.

But he didn't want to see Lan Fang die in front of him because he didn't have ambergris.

Shi Chen nodded understandingly, "Vice President Lin, I understand. ”

Lin Dongfang felt a little more comfortable in his heart, "Thank you for your understanding, next time if I have the opportunity to buy ambergris again, I will definitely give you some." ”

Shang Jiangyu, who was standing in the courtyard, finally couldn't listen to it, so he simply pushed open the door and walked in, frowning and saying, "Master, where do you have the money to buy ambergris!"

Lin Dongfang frowned, "Jiang Yu, didn't you let you go back first?"

"I'm afraid that Master needs something, so I'll just wait here for a while. Shang Jiangyu answered, and walked quickly to Lin Dongfang's side, "The 10 million that Master has saved over the years has all been used to buy ambergris." Now the monthly salary can't pay for the Chinese medicine that the master needs every day, not to mention buying ambergris, even if you eat tomorrow, it's a problem!"
