Chapter 186: Exchanging Tea Gardens for Antidotes

A figure and a donkey figure approached. An old man with thin-haired and snow-white hair led a donkey with two large bamboo baskets on its back. Bursts of aroma wafted from the bamboo basket, and when she got closer, Yun Qilan finally saw the papaya that was either green or slightly yellowish. She pursed her lips and heard her stomach gurgle again.

The old man glanced at Yun Qilan, as if asking her if she wanted to buy papaya?

"Please stay, old man".

Yun Qilan couldn't wait to say a word, the old man, hurriedly shouted in professional terms, and the donkey's four hooves stopped instantly and stood there steadily.

"Newly picked papaya, two copper plates a catty."

The old man didn't wait for Yun Qilan to ask, he quoted the price, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

"That's right, what if...... I buy two papayas, plus ...... How is this donkey"?

Yun Qilan's question surprised the old man. The anticipation and hope in his eyes were instantly replaced by loss.

"I sell papaya, donkeys can't be sold! It is the lifeblood of my old couple, it can help me sell papaya to earn a few copper plates, and it can also help me grind and transport crops"!

The old man shook his head and waved his hand, refusing to sell the donkey. Yun Qilan felt a sense of loss, and wanted to buy a donkey to use as a means of transportation, but it seemed that it was a little difficult.

"Old man, that ...... Otherwise, how about I rent your donkey? I'll give you a piece of ocean, and then you unload two baskets of papayas. Wouldn't it be better to wait for me to come back while you can sell your papaya?"

Yun Qilan came up with such an idea, and the old man hesitated after hearing it. After a moment, he finally nodded. A piece of ocean may be the income of his whole family for a year or even two years, and there is no reason not to agree under such a big temptation.

"Well, you'll have to bring me back the donkey!"

The old man admonished, and Yun Qilan nodded solemnly. He took out a piece of ocean and handed it to the old man, and helped unload the two baskets of papaya.

"Child, you take these two big papayas, and eat them slowly on the way."

The old man picked up two large ripe papayas and handed them to Yun Qilan.

"Thank you, old man"!

Yun Qilan thanked her, and then prepared to ride the donkey to find an antidote for her daughter. However, the donkey did not buy the stranger's account at first, and after the old man whispered a few words to it, he finally stopped squatting and rejoicing. Yun Qilan finally got on the donkey smoothly, and according to the path in her impression, she went straight to one of the locations of the so-called Orchid Company.

Along the way, Yun Qilan thought a lot. All kinds of bad results, she almost thought of them. She could take a step back and give up part of the shares in the tea plantation, or even half of it, as long as that Wang Lu promised to give her the antidote.

With two papayas in her stomach, Yun Qilan finally had some mental and physical strength, and shouted at the donkey to continue moving forward. After noon, we finally arrived at the place. That Wang Lu happened to be in that humble office.

"Please sit down and tell us how you plan to trade"?

The reason why that person was so straight to the point was because he knew that Yun Qilan didn't have time to go around the bend with him.

"Mr. Wang is really straightforward enough, okay, then I'll be straightforward. As long as you are willing to hand over the antidote, I am willing to give up one-fifth of the shares of the tea plantation."

Yun Qilan has been doing business recently, and she has learned a lot more tactfully. She expected to hand over at least half of the shares, but she deliberately left room for her words.

"Haha, Miss Yun is really smart. There are ten tea gardens under your name, and if the spring flowers bloom next year, it will be ten golden mountains! Only take out two seats in exchange for the antidote? That's too stingy, isn't it? Besides, aren't you worried that I'll only hand over one-fifth of the antidote?"

That Wang Lu is really cunning and cunning, where is this negotiation in the shopping mall, it is clearly using the antidote as a guise to blackmail! Yun Qilan's heart trembled, and her worry was even worse.

"Hehe, Mr. Wang may not know that the medicine you gave Zi Yan is actually not unique. I've inquired, the master you're looking for...... He was greedy for money. So, in a certain hospital, he also promoted his exclusive formula. What does this mean...... I think you ...... Mr. Wang You should understand, right"?

After thinking about it, Yun Qilan decided to give it a try so boldly, but she didn't expect the other party to really show a hesitant look. Yun Qilan secretly rejoiced in her heart, in fact, she had only heard of the poison in Zi Yan in some legends. As for the way to alleviate it, it is just hearsay. Despite this, the trick she used to "knock on the mountain and shock the tiger" really worked a little.

"The reason why I didn't go to that hospital and came to you directly is because it's relatively close, and secondly, you and I at least have cooperation. We...... Let's be friends."

Yun Qilan added a few more words, and the one finally raised his head and was ready to formally negotiate with her.

"Well, for the sake of the previous cooperation, I'll give in one more step. Give me two-thirds of the tea garden in your hand, and I will hand over all the antidote for the seven days......"

"No, half at most. Give you a few minutes to think about it, otherwise, I can turn back and take Zi Yan to the hospital for treatment."

Yun Qilan guessed the psychology of the other party, and her main purpose was to get Yun Qilan's shares. However, he also believed that the hospital had medicine, so he would definitely agree to the deal in line with the principle of "take it when you see it".

"Deal! Miss Yun, please wait, I'll bring the antidote."

The treacherous and cunning Wang Lu finally took the antidote and signed an agreement with Yun Qilan in black and white. Yun Qilan used half of the tea garden under her name to successfully exchange it for the antidote to save her daughter, and then rode the donkey back the same way.

At dusk, I passed by the entrance of the village again. Seeing the old man selling papayas, he was still waiting in place. Yun Qilan returned the donkey, took out some copper plates, and bought the remaining half basket of papaya.

Yun Qilan struggled to carry half a bamboo basket of papaya and returned to Xinghua'er's house. With the help of Xinghua'er, she quickly boiled medicine and fed Ziyan to drink......

"Xinghua'er, in the future, we will only have a few tea gardens left in Xishan Village. It's also good and easier to manage. I'm going to sell some autumn tea first, and get some money back to build a few burrows."

"What to build? What does leakage mean"?

Xinghuaer was very surprised, and actually said that the burrow was a leak.

"Haha, I'm talking about the Burrow, it's a very ordinary house. I'm going to build a house on the land in that Xishan Village, and you and your husband and wife will move in together. One can settle down, and the other can be convenient for future work. Also, I will go by from time to time to check on your work, and I will also take you to a big hospital for a check-up. If you have a baby, your relationship will be harmonious."

Yun Qilan said her arrangement, and Xinghua'er didn't seem to understand some of the words, and she kept blinking her eyes.

"So, where do you spend most of your time"?

After a long time, Xinghuaer finally asked the key question.

"Take Zi Yan to live in the city, and then let her study there, don't go back to Fang's house!"

When Yun Qilan said this, her face was angry. It seems that she is still haunted by Fang Yan's remarriage.
