Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 617: Chapter 618: Are You Stupid or What? (Alliance Leader +40)

Wu Zhiyuan didn’t expect her to be so formidable, and he felt a bit of trepidation in his heart. Initially, he was told by his mother that the person from the Xue Family definitely came from a remote mountain village, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to dig up Lingzhi on their own. Therefore, he had regarded Chiang Xiao and the others as simple country folk and hadn’t taken them seriously. But now, seeing Chiang Xiao’s demeanor, he felt it was impossible for her to be from the countryside.

Could it be that she came from some notable background?

While he was hesitating, Chiang Xiao signaled to her grandparents to leave, but Old Lady Wu directly grabbed Ge Liutao’s arm and said, ”Oh dear girl, wait a moment, tell me later where exactly you dug up that Lingzhi.”

She insisted on not letting her leave.

Having never dealt with such a situation, Ge Liutao didn’t know what to do and looked at Chiang Xiao helplessly.

Chiang Xiao’s hand was itching to act.

What to do, her fiery temper was getting hard to control!

Just then, Madam Xue came out of the kitchen with that small bottle of Lingzhi, and seeing it made Chiang Xiao’s blood boil. How stupid can you be? Can’t you just take out half? It’s as if they’re showing the entire amount they have!

Really, being too honest can be troublesome!

Wu Zhiyuan, seeing his mother had already grabbed the old lady, immediately went over, took the small bottle from Madam Xue’s hand, poured out the Lingzhi onto the table, picked up a piece, carefully examined it, and then smelled it before nodding and saying, ”It seems different from the Lingzhi my dad used to buy. Is there no smell?”

As he spoke, he put the piece of Lingzhi in his mouth and began to chew.

”Hey!”

”Zhiyuan!”

The Xue Family and Zheng Yucheng all felt a pang of distress.

How many pieces of Lingzhi were there? And he ate one just to taste it?

”It’s a bit hard.” The man, while chewing, even disdainfully remarked, nearly making them choke in frustration.

Lingzhi wasn’t meant to be chewed raw!

Old Lady Wu looked at the thin slices of Ganoderma Lucidum and said, ”I heard that boiling one slice a day is enough. Old Xue, you have enough to boil for many days. Give half to my Old Man Wu first. Zhiyuan, didn’t we bring a small box? Use that to hold them.”

”Alright.”

Wu Zhiyuan really took out a small medicine box from his pocket and started to place the Ganoderma Lucidum Slices into it, one by one.

”Half is enough, we can’t take more, leave the other half for your Uncle Xue,” Old Lady Wu instructed.

Xue Liujin could no longer restrain himself.

It was not that he was selfish, but without experiencing that feeling of being unable to sleep, one could not understand how torturous it was. Now that the Lingzhi was effective for him, and there was only so little of it, how could he possibly want to give half of it away?

Old Man Wu was weak and chilled easily, but he still ate well, drank well, slept well, and had no serious issues! While for him, his life was on the line, and here they were, trying to snatch away his life-saving medicine!

”Zhiyuan, put the Lingzhi down!” he shouted, his face darkening as he said, ”I’m not giving this Lingzhi to anyone!”

Wu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, as he hadn’t expected him to refuse so directly. They were used to achieving their goals by being a bit thick-skinned, as others usually gave in due to considerations of relationships, face, and their own cultivation, feeling too embarrassed to refuse them.

This tactic had never failed before, including with the Xue Family.

But why was it not working today?

It seems that this Lingzhi must really be exceptional! Otherwise, Xue Liujin wouldn’t be guarding it so fiercely!

This was the thought that simultaneously crossed the minds of Wu Zhiyuan and his mother.

They were even less willing to give up now.

After Wu Zhiyuan had packed half of the Lingzhi, he smiled at Xue Liujin and said, ”Uncle Xue, please accept my dad’s thanks on his behalf. Of course, we’ll pay, we’ll pay.”
