Chapter 1737: Just to Keep Him Quiet

Ning Shu was a little discontent and said, “You don’t expect us to split evenly, do you? Then what’s the difference between this and stealing?”

Did he think that just by stepping on the ginseng, it was his?

The male lead was truly blessed with good luck. Ning Shu ran all over the mountains without encountering any ginseng while he could just casually step somewhere and find it.

“Taking seventy percent for yourself is too much,” Fang Yong said.

Ning Shu was unhappy. She was the one who found the ginseng, but Fang Yong just stepped on it and wanted to have a share of the money based on that.

If only it weren’t for the fear of attracting thieves because her family would gain unexpected wealth. Especially during this time when the world was in chaos, if there was a root of ginseng at home, people with bad intentions would crawl out of the woodwork the very next day. Her family might not only lose the ginseng but their own lives as well.

If this weren’t the case, Ning Shu wouldn’t give Fang Yong anything at all. Giving Fang Yong thirty percent was just to keep him quiet.

But Fang Yong, the bastard, thought that even this amount was too small.

Ha ha ha…

“Forty percent, it can’t be any more than that. Or else I’ll take the ginseng to town and offer it to the government official.” Ning Shu’s gaze was cold.

The government official, in this case, was the county magistrate.

Fang Yong thought about it for a while. Indeed, if Chen Ermei wasn’t here, he would’ve missed the ginseng. Forty percent was acceptable.

“Alright, I’ll take forty percent,” Fang Yong said.

“Then it’s a deal. We’ll sell it later,” Ning Shu said. “My brother and I will leave first. You should wait until we’re far enough and then leave.”

Fang Yong nodded.

Ning Shu placed the wrapped ginseng in the pack basket and covered it with grass. She turned to Chen Li and said, “Let’s go.”

Chen Li carried the bamboo basket on his back and walked very carefully.

When they arrived home, Ning Shu took out the ginseng and talked to Father Chen about dividing the ginseng with the Fang family.

Father Chen was so surprised when he saw ginseng that he jumped. This type of windfall could attract misfortune.

Ning Shu told him that she would go with Chen Li to sell the ginseng and once they sold it, the danger would pass. Otherwise, someone might come every day wanting a piece of the ginseng.

Ning Shu grabbed the basket that was filled with the Chinese knots that Chen Ermei had woven before. She placed the ginseng inside and covered it with the Chinese knots.

To get to the town from the village, you had to ride in an ox cart. Fang Yong pretended to be there by coincidence, carrying pheasants and rabbits to sell. He sat in an ox cart with Ning Shu and Chen Li.

Other people also boarded the cart along the way, but Ning Shu and Fang Yong didn’t say a word the entire way.

Chen Li was profusely sweating and didn’t dare to speak.

After all, when had poor people ever seen something as precious as ginseng?

When Ning Shu arrived in town, she first went to the rouge shop to disguise herself. She thickened her eyebrows, drew pockmarks on her face, and disguised herself simply before she went to the medicine store to sell the ginseng.

Ning Shu entered the pharmacy and Fang Yong came in soon after. Fang Yong pretended that he had recently suffered from excess internal heat and wanted to buy some cooling medicine to drink.

From beginning to end, he didn’t talk to Ning Shu at all.

Ning Shu bargained with the shopkeeper who settled on a price of 200 taels.

Ning Shu was not very satisfied with that price. The ginseng was fresh. After it was processed and dried, the price would definitely become more than a thousand taels. Ginseng was a popular item, especially within the circles of the rich and powerful officials, each house had to have some in it.

But the shopkeeper insisted on buying it for only 200 taels and wouldn’t budge.
