Chapter 81: I Only Hope You Won’t Regret It in the Future
Old Lu held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and taught her how to distinguish it.
“About seven or eight years old, it’s still not bad.”
“Then how much do you think this ginseng is worth?” she asked.
The longer the age of ginseng, the more expensive it is, and naturally the better its efficacy.
Old Lu thought for a while and estimated a price, “If you send it to a state-run pharmacy, it’s about two hundred, if you meet someone who is in a hurry to buy it, it can go up a few dozen, but it won’t exceed three hundred.”
He turned his head and asked, “Do you want to sell it?”
“I want to buy a watch. My brother knows someone, and I can exchange it for ginseng or something,” Song Chu said truthfully.
Old Lu said, “It’s a pity to exchange it for a watch.”
Song Chu smiled, “No one in the family needs it, so it’s better to use it to its maximum value.”
“Besides, if I can find a seven or eight-year-old ginseng today, maybe I can find a better one if I come back another day. This age is not worth collecting for me,” she added.
Old Lu chuckled, “That’s right. This Back Mountain is a treasure trove. For ordinary people, it’s a matter of life and death, but for you, it’s easy. If you want to collect, it’s better to have ginseng that is decades old.”
Song Chu wrapped the ginseng in a handkerchief and put it in her back basket.
After returning home, Song Chu called Song Lao Si over.
“I dug up a ginseng today that’s just about enough to exchange for a watch. Do you want to take it to exchange, or should I go with you?” she asked.
Song Lao Si’s eyes widened, “Little Sister, you are really amazing.”
He originally thought of letting his sister hunt more meat to exchange, but he didn’t expect her to find ginseng. This was even better.
After all, Boss Hu had said before that he preferred medicinal herbs like ginseng.
He added, “I don’t know what style you like, you should come with me to the city to exchange it.”
Let those people see how capable his sister is.
Song Chu nodded, “Alright.”
The two siblings talked for a while, and someone knocked on the door. When they opened it, they saw Luo Qiuju and Luo Lao Tai standing at the door.
Song Lao Si said impatiently, “Why are you here again? Do you want to go to the Public Security Bureau?”
The two’s faces stiffened, and Luo Lao Tai pinched Luo Qiuju.
Luo Qiuju immediately said with red eyes, “We are here to beg you today.”
“Chu Chu, please go and talk to the comrades at the Public Security Bureau and let my fourth brother out. He will definitely not dare to do it again.” These days, Luo Lao Si had been locked up, and she was not only scolded by her family every day, but also slapped by her mother.
Although she felt wronged, he was her own brother after all, and he was in trouble because of her in-laws. She also felt sorry for him, so she came to beg again.
Song Chu raised her eyebrows, “He broke the law, why should I help him?”
Luo Qiuju took a deep breath, walked up to Song Chu, and suddenly knelt, “Chu Chu, I beg you, please let my fourth brother go.”
Song Chu didn’t expect Luo Qiuju to kneel to her, the little sister-in-law she hated, for the sake of her family.
She looked at her, but she couldn’t feel any sympathy.
She said indifferently, “I don’t want to make things difficult for you. I have a request. If you agree, I will go to the County Public Security Bureau with you and help to get Luo Lao Si released.”
“What request, tell me,” Luo Qiuju said hurriedly.
Song Chu said, “You and my eldest brother write a separation agreement, and the custody of Erwa and Daniu will also belong to my eldest brother. In the future, you will have no relationship with our family, and a copy will be kept on file at the Public Security Bureau.”
Luo Qiuju suddenly raised her head to look at Song Chu, “Do you hate to see me well that much? Why do you have to break up me and your eldest brother?”
She wanted to save her brother, but she also wanted to return to her in-laws. She didn’t want to separate at all.
Song Chu sneered, “Is it that we hate to see you well, or that you are always thinking about not letting us be well?”
◈◈◈
“My eldest brother can’t afford a wife like you who always favors her own family over her husband’s.”
Then she changed the subject, “Of course, if you really don’t want to separate from my eldest brother, it’s not impossible.”
When Luo Qiuju heard this, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in her eyes. She knew that the Song family was just threatening her and would never really abandon her.
But Song Chu’s next words put her in a dilemma.
“But you can’t be so close to your family anymore, and Luo Lao Si will have to stay in prison for reform.”
“Either choose to separate from my eldest brother and save your fourth brother; or choose to return to your in-laws and let your fourth brother stay in prison, you choose one.”
Song Chu paused and said, “If you choose my eldest brother, then you are still my sister-in-law.”
Song Lao Si was a little unhappy. He didn’t want Luo Qiuju to continue to be his sister-in-law. Just as he was about to speak, Song Chu gave him a look and stopped him.
“Go and call the others in the family, it will give her some time to consider,” she gave Song Lao Si a look.
Song Lao Si nodded and immediately went out to call people.
Song Chu was not in a hurry for an answer, “Think about what you want to choose.”
Luo Qiuju’s eyes were even redder, “Do you have to force me like this?”
Song Chu did not deny it, “Yes, I am forcing you to make a choice. My eldest brother, Daniu, Erwa, and your fourth brother, you can only choose one. There are not so many best-of-both-worlds in the world.”
Luo Lao Tai pulled Luo Qiuju aside and whispered to her. Luo Qiuju showed a struggling expression.
Soon, Song Lao Si not only called back the family, but also invited Tang Min and the respected elders of the Song family in the village.
There were also some people who came to watch the excitement, and Song Chu let them in.
After inviting everyone to sit down, Song Chu repeated what she had just said.
This made everyone stunned. The villagers felt that although Song Chu was fierce, she was still kind-hearted, and she was willing to give Luo Qiuju a chance.
If this were a normal person, they would definitely choose their husband and children. After all, Luo Qiuju’s fourth brother was really not a good person.
Song Chu did it on purpose, so no matter what choice Luo Qiuju made, it was not their family forcing her.
She looked at Luo Qiuju and asked, “Have you thought about it?”
Luo Lao Tai hurriedly said, “Of course, choose to let my Lao Si out.”
Luo Qiuju looked aggrieved and couldn’t help but tug at Luo Lao Tai’s sleeve, “Mom.”
Luo Lao Tai glared at Luo Qiuju, “What are you aggrieved about? Your brother is even more aggrieved. You caused all this trouble, so you have to solve it.”
“If the Old Song family doesn’t want you, then you come back to your family. Our Old Luo family doesn’t lack your food.” She suddenly thought of what her daughter-in-law said last night, and her tone towards Luo Qiuju suddenly softened a lot.
Luo Qiuju was immediately moved. Finally, she gritted her teeth and looked at Song Chu and said, “When will you go to the Public Security Bureau to release my brother?”
“So this is your choice? You choose your fourth brother, not my eldest brother and children, right?” Song Chu was not surprised by Luo Qiuju’s choice.
Luo Qiuju gritted her teeth again, “You forced me to do this.”
Song Chu sneered, “Don’t put the blame on me, I won’t take it.”
“This is your own choice. I only hope you won’t regret it in the future.”
At that time, even if you cry and kneel, you will have to bear the consequences.
