When Chen Ping heard that his daughter, Chen Meng’er, had got them 500,000 yuan, he kept repeating the figure in his mind. 500,000 yuan, how much money was that? Let alone 500,000 yuan, even 50,000 yuan was something Chen Ping had never seen in his entire life.

Chen Ping had never thought that the wild ginseng that his daughter had found in the back mountain would fetch such a high price. Before he and his daughter came to the city, the couple had discussed that if the wild ginseng could be sold for money, it would be great if it could cover the tuition fees for the three children in the family for an entire year.

However, the result was completely different from what he had imagined. Chen Meng’er was not in a hurry. She quietly waited for her father to calm down. Chen Ping was also fine. After a while, he came back to his senses. After swallowing hard, he raised his eyes and looked at Elder Liu seriously, he said, “Elder Liu, why don’t you take a closer look? This is just a wild ginseng.” Chen Ping almost told Elder Liu that this wild ginseng was not worth the price.

Chen Meng’er understood the meaning behind her father’s words and almost vomited blood. In her previous life, she had been in society for so many years, but she had never seen anyone who would complain that the price was too high when she was a seller. They would complain that the price offered by others was too high. Usually, the only way was to constantly raise the price to maximize the benefits.

Elder Liu also understood the meaning behind Chen Ping’s words. In his heart, his evaluation of Chen Ping suddenly became much higher. “I looked very carefully. This ginseng is worth this price. However, you guys are also lucky to have found me, a person who knows the goods. If it were those ordinary pharmacies outside, they might not know the goods,” Elder Liu said, but he said it to Chen Meng’er.

However, Chen Meng’er said in her heart, “If the other party didn’t know the goods, I wouldn’t have sold this ginseng to him. Although my family is very short of money now,” Chen Meng’er thought in her heart, but.., she said to Elder Liu in a flattering manner, “Yes, if we weren’t lucky enough to meet you, Grandpa Liu, otherwise, we would definitely be at a disadvantage. Oh right, Grandpa Liu, um, can we use cash to sell the ginseng?”

Chen Meng’er’s family did not even have a bank account or bankbook.

“Oh, okay.” Elder Liu probably also thought that given Chen Ping’s situation, he definitely did not have an account in the bank. “Then you guys sit here for a while. I will get someone to withdraw the money.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Okay.” Chen Meng’er sat on the chair and shook her legs as she replied.

After Elder Liu left, Chen Ping couldn’t hold it in any longer. He looked at his daughter, Chen Meng’er, with a serious expression, he said, “Meng’er, is that wild ginseng really worth that much? If it’s not worth that much, we can’t lie to your Grandpa Liu just because of money. We can’t do something that goes against our conscience.” Chen Ping still felt that.., this wild ginseng couldn’t possibly be worth that much.

“Dad, don’t worry. We didn’t lie to Grandpa Liu, and Grandpa Liu didn’t suffer a loss either. It can be said that Grandpa Liu even earned a profit. That wild ginseng that didn’t look like much had been around for at least a hundred years. Grandpa Liu is very knowledgeable. He won’t make a loss-making business move.” Chen Meng’er comforted her father.

“That’s good.” Chen Ping listened to his daughter’s explanation and thought about it again. It really was true. This Elder Liu was obviously a knowledgeable and smart person. He would not let himself suffer a loss. Thinking of this, Chen Ping was relieved.

After Chen Ping put this matter down, he thought of the 500,000 yuan in the blink of an eye.. Until now, he could not imagine how much 500,000 yuan was. Chen Ping thought in his heart and unconsciously said, “How much is 500,000 yuan?”
