Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 83

Chapter 83: But Today is Really Such a Coincidence

After the Song family left the Public Security Bureau, the three members of the Luo family hurriedly followed them out. They were quite afraid of this place.

Seeing Song Lao Si giving her a look, Song Chu pulled Tang Feng and said, “Mom, you go back first. Fourth Brother and I will go to the machinery factory.”

Tang Feng nodded. “Alright, you two come home early too.”

The three members of the Song family got on the tractor, and the three members of the Luo family wanted to get on as well.

Tang Feng immediately snapped, “Get on what? We have no relationship anymore. Don’t even think about taking advantage of us.”

“We just want a ride back to the village. You’re being too much,” Luo Lao Tai said, wanting to hitch a ride because she felt sorry for her son.

Tang Feng snorted coldly, “Pooh, you still want to ride the tractor? How thick-skinned can you be? Do you believe that I won’t come down and tear your face off?”

“…” Luo Lao Tai looked at her fierce expression and remembered the previous beating. She wasn’t as strong as this vixen.

Luo Lao Si wanted to step forward and shout, but when he saw Song Chu standing indifferently to the side, he shrank his neck.

When he saw her, his waist started to hurt.

After being kicked by her that day, he kept waking up at night from the pain. He called for a doctor, but they couldn’t find anything wrong. He was even lectured and told not to lie in an attempt to escape the law.

This tigress was a bit strange. It was better not to provoke her in the future.

Song Chu didn’t want to get entangled with the Luo family either. She raised her eyebrows coldly, “What, do you want to feign an injury to get a ride?”

“No, we won’t ride.” Luo Lao Si shivered and immediately pulled Luo Lao Tai away, afraid of provoking this tigress again and getting beaten up.

Luo Qiuju turned her head and took a deep look at Song Lao Da , who had no expression on his face. Only then did she grit her teeth and chase after her mother and brother.

Song Chu knew that after being together for so long and going through such an ordeal, her Eldest Brother needed time to calm down.

She looked at Song Lao Da and comforted him, “Eldest Brother, the opportunity was given to her. This is her choice. You don’t have to feel bad.”

Song Lao Da managed a smile, “I’m fine. I’ve already thought it through. To be honest, I’m relieved that she didn’t choose me.”

After reflecting on the past few days, he had not only thought it through but also firmed up his decision to separate.

Seeing that his smile wasn’t forced, Song Chu nodded, “Then you take Dad and Mom back first.”

“Okay.” Song Lao Da’s gaze towards Song Chu was gentle.

He knew who was truly good to him.

Watching the tractor drive away, Song Chu said to Song Lao Si, “Let’s go. Take me to Boss Hu’s place.”

Song Lao Si said with a smile, “Alright.”

The black market in the county town was mainly concentrated in one place. Boss Hu lived in a nearby courtyard, which made it convenient for them to move goods and escape if there was an inspection.

At this time, there were basically no people in the black market.

As the two of them walked into the alley, a person suddenly ran out from another alley next to them. Because he was running fast, he bumped into Song Lao Si.

The things the person was carrying fell to the ground.

“Comrade, I’m sorry.” This person was a middle-aged man with an anxious look on his face. He apologized to Song Lao Si while bending down to pick up the things on the ground.

Song Chu looked down and saw a handkerchief on the ground, with several pieces of something that looked like ginseng scattered around it.

When he picked them up, Song Chu asked, “Is this ginseng?”

The man was stunned for a moment but didn’t deny it. “Yes, it’s ginseng.”

“I’m sorry, Little Brother. I’m in a hurry to get to the hospital, so I was running fast,” he explained to Song Lao Si.

Song Lao Si said indifferently, “It’s okay. If you’re in a hurry, go quickly.”

The middle-aged man wrapped up the things and was about to leave when Song Chu spoke again, “If you’re taking these ginseng slices to save someone’s life, I can tell you definitively that they won’t work.”

◈◈◈

Gao Zhengping stopped in his tracks and frowned at Song Chu, “Little Comrade, what do you mean?”

“I mean, these ginseng slices are fake. They just look like it, but they won’t have any effect,” Song Chu said truthfully.

She had always been very observant and could tell that this person was genuinely anxious to save someone’s life.

And to appear on this street at this time, he must have come to the black market to sell ginseng. She just didn’t know who was so immoral as to sell him fake ones.

If he took this stuff back to save someone, it would be equivalent to harming them.

“What? You’re saying these ginseng slices are fake?” Gao Zhengping was stunned. “Do you have any proof?”

Song Chu replied, “Take them to the hospital. Don’t give them to the patient yet. Find a doctor who knows traditional Chinese medicine or pharmacology to take a closer look, and you’ll know if they’re real or fake.”

Hearing her say this, Gao Zhengping started to believe her a little. After all, she seemed to have no reason to deceive him.

He couldn’t help but become anxious again. “If they’re fake, it’s going to be troublesome. My wife is waiting for these ginseng slices to save her life.”

His wife was in her thirties and finally pregnant. Today, during labor, the baby’s position wasn’t quite right. They finally managed to adjust it, but she had lost her strength and was very weak.

Without the strength to give birth, the doctor said there was a high chance of both mother and child dying. They suggested getting some ginseng for her to hold in her mouth and try.

The hospital didn’t have any ginseng in stock, so he rushed to the black market.

Who would have thought that after finally buying a few slices, they were likely fake? What would happen to his wife?

Seeing the person in front of him on the verge of tears, Song Chu spoke again, “I happen to have a freshly dug ginseng here. If you need it, I can sell it to you first.”

She was planning to exchange the ginseng for watches anyway. Selling it to this person and using the money to buy them was the same, and it could save a life.

After dying and being reborn, inexplicably gaining another life, Song Chu decided to do more good deeds.

When Gao Zhengping heard Song Chu say this, he immediately became a little guarded.

How could there be such a coincidence? His ginseng fell to the ground, she looked at it and said it was fake, and then she could produce a real one? Was ginseng so easy to come by?

This seemed like a scammer’s trick!

If it were any other time, he definitely wouldn’t pay attention to such a scammer.

But now he didn’t dare to gamble, as his wife’s life was hanging in the balance.

“This…” He hesitated.

Song Chu saw through his thoughts at a glance and could understand.

If she were in his shoes, she would also think it was a scammer’s trick. How could there be such a coincidence?

But today was really such a coincidence. It must be that his loved one’s life was not meant to end.

“How about we go to the hospital with you? You can take the ginseng you have and mine to the doctor to see. Whichever is real, you can use that one,” Song Chu said, taking out the ginseng from her bag and showing it to him.

Gao Zhengping looked at the whole ginseng root still covered in a bit of soil. Now he felt that she wasn’t likely a scammer. After all, which scammer would volunteer to go to the hospital to have the medicine tested?

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Little Comrade. My wife is waiting for ginseng to save her life. I can only ask for your help to make this trip.”

He promised, “Don’t worry, as long as this ginseng can be used, I will definitely not shortchange you on the price.”

He didn’t have time to ask about the price now. Besides, it would be more appropriate to discuss the price after going to the hospital and confirming that it was real ginseng.

Song Chu nodded, “It’s okay. Let’s go then. Saving lives is the priority.”
