Dawn.

Lin Xueqi's family had breakfast early and were ready to go out.

Lin Da and Zhao Ying went directly to the hospital, while Lin Xueqi took Meng Kong to Xianghe Old Street.

Xianghe Old Street is where Lin Xueqi's grandparents lived, and her father grew up here.

The reason why I came here is because Lin Xueqi's grandmother loves to eat osmanthus cakes made by a company called Zhao Ji Pastry on this street, and Lin Xueqi wants to take some to the hospital and give it to her grandmother.

After arriving at the door of Zhao Ji Pastry, Lin Xueqi parked the car on the side of the road and said to Meng Kong: "You wait for me in the car, I'll go buy osmanthus cake." ”

"Okay." Meng Kong watched Lin Xueqi walk into the pastry shop, and then looked at the side of the road casually, and when he saw a stall, he sighed lightly, his eyes slightly condensed.

"That thing is ......"

Meng Kong secretly said that he was lucky, opened the car door and got out of the car, and walked to the stall.

The stall owner is an old man, selling some wild vegetables that he dug himself, as well as some mountain goods.

When he arrived at the stall, Meng Kong half-squatted down, picked up a handful of wild vegetables at random, looked at them, and asked, "Uncle, how do you sell this?" ”

"Twenty." The old man cocked up two fingers, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"Where's this?" Meng Kong put down the wild vegetable and picked up another fungus plant that looked like a tree mushroom and asked.

"This is a treasure, wild reishi!" The old man glanced at the "tree mushroom" in Meng Kong's hand, revealing an expression that you know very well, and spread out his palm and said, "Five hundred!" ”

"Five Hundred ......"

Meng Kong stretched out his hand and took it out in his pocket, only then did he remember that he had dozens of yuan in change now, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

The old man glanced at him, put away his three fingers, and said with some hesitation: "Why don't I charge you two hundred?" ”

"Uncle, you keep this for me, just 500 yuan as you said, and I'll come back and buy it right away." Meng Kong put down the Lingzhi and prepared to borrow money from Lin Xueqi.

The old man recognized that it was Ganoderma lucidum, but he did not know the true value of this Lingzhi.

But Meng Kong has been dealing with all kinds of herbs since he was a child, and he has been immersed in the Immortal Cultivation Pills for many years, and he can see at a glance that this Lingzhi has amazing medicinal properties, it is a hundred-year-old Lingzhi!

After the old man agreed, Meng Kong got up and walked to the pastry shop, and happened to meet Lin Xueqi coming out with a box of osmanthus cakes, and asked him, "What are you doing when you get out of the car?" ”

"That...... Xueqi, do you have 500 yuan on you? Can you borrow me first? Meng Kong asked cheekily.

This was the first time he had borrowed money from a girl, and his face turned red after he finished speaking.

"Why do you want money again?" Lin Xueqi frowned slightly, and was going to refuse, but thinking that Meng Kong was still sick, she took out her wallet as soon as her heart softened.

"Pick it up." Handing the osmanthus cake to Meng Kong, Lin Xueqi took out five hundred yuan from her wallet, and did not rush to give it to Meng Kong, but asked first: "What do you want five hundred yuan for?" ”

"I'll buy something......" Meng Kong glanced back at the stall, and the old man was also looking at him.

Lin Xueqi followed Meng Kong's gaze and walked to the stall.

Meng Kong followed her and came to the stall together.

"How's that lad? Got the money, right? The old man glanced at Lin Xueqi casually and asked with a grin.

"Uncle, what does he want to buy from you?" Lin Xueqi asked the old man.

"Hello, this." The old man pointed to Ganoderma lucidum.

Lin Xueqi frowned, looked at Meng Kongdao, "What are you buying this thing for?" Can this be eaten? ”

"Girl, this is a good thing! Big supplement! The old man picked up the Ganoderma lucidum and shook it, and said, "It's almost half a catty and only sells it for you five hundred, and you make a lot of money!" ”

"Buy it first, and I'll explain it to you when you get in the car." Meng Kong said in a low voice.

Lin Xueqi glanced at him unhappily when she heard this, and handed the money to the old man.

The old man happily put away the money, took a bag and put it on the Ganoderma lucidum, and handed it to Lin Xueqi, not knowing if the bag was clean.

Lin Xueqi didn't pick it up, but said to Meng Kong: "Take it yourself." ”

With that, she turned and walked towards the parking side.

Meng Kong saw that the Ganoderma lucidum was in his hands, his face was happy, and he got into the car with Lin Xueqi.

After closing the car door, Lin Xueqi started the car and asked, "What is this?" It looks like a tree mushroom, so it's not poisonous, right? ”

"Centennial Ganoderma lucidum, it's a big bargain!" Meng Kong chuckled lightly and put Lingzhi in the back row of his seat very preciously.

"What centennial reishi? I see you ...... Forget it, let's not talk about you. Lin Xueqi sighed, saw Meng Kong put the lingzhi on the seat, and said, "Don't put it on the seat, dirty the car, throw it down!" ”

"...... with a bag" Meng Kong's words were halfway through, and seeing that Lin Xueqi had already made a straight face, he had to take the lingzhi off his seat as he said.

Lin Xueqi's face softened slightly, but when she thought of what Meng Kong actually believed in a century-old Ganoderma lucidum, she was disappointed, and she only felt that Meng Kong was really naïve and ignorant.

Fortunately, it didn't cost much, so she didn't bother to bother with Meng Kong.

When he arrived at the hospital and parked the car, Meng Kong took the lingzhi and prepared to get out of the car, Lin Xueqi was unhappy again: "Don't take this thing up for you, let the uncle and the second aunt see what it looks like?" ”

Meng Kong pursed his lips and put the lingzhi back.

Although Lin Xueqi's attitude towards him has changed a little, he still can't be said to be kind.

All the way upstairs, I came to the ward where Lin Xueqi's grandmother lived, and saw two middle-aged couples standing at the door of the ward from a distance.

Two of them are Lin Xueqi's parents, and the other two Meng Kong also know each other, namely Lin Xueqi's eldest uncle Lin Lei, and Lin Lei's wife Zhou Huiying.

"Dad, Mom, Uncle, Auntie, what are you doing at the door if you don't go in?" Lin Xueqi greeted several elders and asked suspiciously.

"The doctor is examining your grandma, let's wait outside." Linda replied.

"Oh, that's right." Lin Xueqi nodded, and Meng Kong also stood outside the door, looked left and right, and then asked, "Didn't the second aunt come?" ”

"Your second aunt and her family only came to see grandma yesterday, so they didn't come today." After Zhao Ying replied to Lin Xueqi, she glanced at Meng Kong in disgust, saw that he didn't say a word, frowned and asked, "Meng Kong, don't you know how to call people?" ”

"Uncle, aunt." Meng Kong was helpless and shouted at Lin Lei and Zhou Huiying.

"Hehe, it's really rare that Meng Kong will come here today." Zhou Huiying said with a smile.

"If I'm not mistaken, he hasn't been to see his mother in almost three months, right?" Lin Lei glanced at Meng Kongdao.

He ...... The bookstore was so busy that I couldn't get out of the way. Zhao Ying smiled awkwardly.

Zhou Huiying sighed lightly, pretending to have a strange expression and asked, "How did I hear that his bookstore has been losing money, wasn't it Xueqi who took money to support him to open it?" ”

"Sister-in-law, you must have heard it wrong, Meng Kongna's bookstore has always been doing very well." Zhao Ying said with a dry smile.

"Hey! I said brother and sister, we are not outsiders, don't be stubborn in front of your eldest brother and your sister-in-law, Meng Kong, what is his situation, are we still not clear? Lin Lei opened his mouth and smiled.

Do you know you're still asking on purpose?

Zhao Ying slandered in her heart, and glared at Meng Kong very unhappily.

It's all this rubbish!

Even if he can be a little promising, he won't be like this, and he is embarrassed to talk about him with others.

"Speaking of busyness, Peng Jian is really busy during this time, his decoration company has signed a lot of orders recently, and he continues to socialize every day, but isn't he coming today? I guess it's almost there now, right? Zhou Huiying said.

Peng Jian is the husband of Zhou Huiying's eldest daughter Lin Lu, that is, her son-in-law, who is now Chinese New Year's Eve second and has opened a decoration company, which is not small in scale and can be regarded as a successful career.

Every time she mentioned him, Zhao Ying was annoyed, looking at other people's sons-in-law, and then at hers, she couldn't wait for Meng Kong to die!

"Hehe, Peng Jian has always been very filial." Zhao Ying could only smile and cope.

"If you want to say that he is really, the company is about to develop vigorously, and he needs money, and he also spent 800,000 yuan to buy gifts for his mother, how do you say this makes me say that he is good?"

Lin Lei spoke reproachfully, but his expression was faintly proud and gratified.

When Zhao Ying and Lin Da heard this, they both looked at Lin Lei with surprise on their faces and asked, "A gift of 800,000 yuan!" What did you buy? ”

"I said it was ......from a friend," Lin Lei was halfway through his words, and suddenly pointed to the end of the corridor and said, "They're here!" ”

A few people looked over, and sure enough, they saw a pair of men and women coming, it was Peng Jian and Lin Lu.

Peng Jian was holding a box in his hand, and when he approached, he was about to speak, when Zhao Ying pointed to him holding the box and asked, "Peng Jian, are you the gift you want to give to the old lady?" What is worth 800,000? ”

"Sanniang, do you know everything?" Peng Jian smiled slightly, patted the box and said, "This thing is precious, hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum!" I also begged for it from a friend, and he won't sell it! ”

"In order to buy this Ganoderma lucidum, Peng Jian didn't know how much thought he put into it, but fortunately he finally bought it." Lin Lu, who was beside Peng Jian, said proudly, and glanced at Lin Xueqi defiantly after speaking.

I almost didn't ask Lin Xueqi directly, how does my husband compare with your husband?

"Centennial Ganoderma lucidum?"

Lin Xueqi didn't notice Lin Lu's eyes at all, she and Meng Kong were slightly stunned, and a trace of surprise rose at the same time.

It's such a coincidence, and it's a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum?

"Peng Jian, you won't be deceived, right? Where in the world is there such a thing as a century-old Ganoderma lucidum? Zhao Ying wondered.

"Yes, Peng Jian, you won't be deceived, right?" Linda also said.

"Hehe, uncle, aunt, you don't understand this." Peng Jian smiled, opened the box, revealed the lingzhi inside, and said: "I have a pure hundred-year-old lingzhi, and there is an appraisal certificate." ”

As he spoke, he picked up another piece of paper in the box and said, "See? The vice president of the provincial hospital personally appraised it, can this be fake? ”

"That is, the appraisal books are all here, can there be any fakes?" Zhou Huiying smirked.

"Oh my God, it's really a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum?!"

"800,000! Peng Jian, you are really filial and willing to spend so much money! ”

After Zhao Ying and Lin Da read the appraisal report, they both looked at the Ganoderma lucidum in the box with curiosity and surprise, and exclaimed.

Seeing their surprised expressions, Lin Lei's family was very useful, especially Zhou Huiying, who was very satisfied with Peng Jiana in her heart, in contrast, when she looked at Meng Kong, her eyes were full of contempt.

What the hell!

Looking at Zhao Ying again, she put on a smug expression again, as if to say, look at my son-in-law, look at your son-in-law, shame on you?

Zhao Ying couldn't help but be a little annoyed when Zhou Huiying looked at her like this, and she retracted her gaze stupidly, and she secretly hated Meng Kong.
