Ma Xiulian carefully rewrapped the ginseng and hid it away in a locked cupboard. All the while, she was gently dressing her little granddaughter and giving her instructions.
If the family found out about the ginseng, it would most likely cause a commotion, considering it's worth a thousand yuan!
Helian Qiao nodded, softly responding with a "yes".
"I'm going to cook."
As soon as Ma Xiulian left the room, she saw Chen Jianjun already working out in the courtyard.
So she approached him, lowered her voice and said, "Guibao wants to give that ginseng to Tingyun as a birthday gift. Your father and I don't have any objections. After all, the Gu family has always thoughtfully shared all their good food and drink with Guibao this past year. I assume it will be the same in the future."
Chen Jianjun nodded. He knew how well the Gu family had been treating his daughter; that affection was worth far more than any sum of money.
