Ye Shu wanted to say it, but Ye Ming shook his head at her.
He hasn't come back yet, but now that he's talking, he's afraid that his mother and Wen Jing won't be able to hide things. The He family... He doesn't trust anyone in the He family, especially He Jianning.
He knew that Hua Zhao was fine, but he didn't take any action at that time. Maybe it was because the location was inappropriate, or he still wanted to ask Hua Zhao, but who knew when and what he would do?
"Don't tell anyone about Hua Zhao's arrival. Even if she arrives, try not to let outsiders know." Ye Ming said.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were even more puzzled, but they were used to listening to Ye Ming's words and didn't ask any questions. Maybe there was some competition between the men?
But Wen Jing lowered her head, hiding the look in her eyes.
When Ye Shu heard what he said, she didn't say anything about Hua Zhaorang's inquiry about the house just now.
Taking the opportunity after the meal, she called her brother out alone.
"Hua Zhao just said that she would bring her mother and siblings to the capital. She said that something happened, and she didn't know what it was. It was not convenient to talk over the phone." Ye Shu said, "She wants to buy another one next to the courtyard.
courtyard."
Of course she had to tell her brother about this matter. She was not familiar with buying a house, so it was her brother who could handle it.
"I understand." Ye Ming nodded.
...
Ye Ming is hiding here, not daring to reveal any news that Hua Zhao is returning to Beijing, for fear that the He family will cause trouble.
Hua Zhao called He Jianning.
600,000 is not a small amount, and you have to give people time to prepare. Nowadays, even a big bank branch may not have 600,000 in cash reserves!
When He Jianning received Hua Zhao's call, his eyebrows flew up in surprise. Hearing that she was here to ask for money, his eyebrows dropped, but they quickly rose again.
"Are you coming to the capital?" He Jianning sounded sure.
"When will you arrive? I'll pick you up." He blurted out, and was stunned for a moment after he finished speaking.
Hua Zhao was not stunned. She was the one who held He Jianning's lifeline (ginseng). No matter how much he flattered her, he would never go too far. If he didn't say this, it would appear that he didn't know how to behave.
"The Ye family will pick me up, so I won't bother you." Hua Zhao said, "If you can't prepare the money at the moment, you can just give me 200,000 first."
To buy a small courtyard, tens of thousands of yuan is enough. Not even tens of thousands, maybe ten or twenty thousand, and it is a single-family house. If it is a few rooms in a large courtyard, a few thousand yuan is enough.
In 1976, it was so cheap.
However, it is also cheaper than that of later generations. Today, not many people have a few thousand yuan in savings at home, and even tens of thousands are even rarer, fewer than the billionaires of later generations.
"What do you want money for?" He Jianning asked.
Hua Zhao frowned.
He Jianning continued: "Do you want to buy something? There are some things that you may not be able to buy if you have money, but I can."
Hua Zhao frowned, but he was still trying to please her.
"No need. Whatever I want, I will figure it out myself." She couldn't figure it out, and there was no reason for the Ye family to ask her enemies to help.
If it weren't for the fact that this enemy was very wealthy, she wouldn't have sold ginseng to him.
She knows that in this day and age, there may be only one person who can pay hundreds of thousands to buy her ginseng. If she sells it to others, she won't be able to open her mouth at all, and it will be in vain. If they don't have money, they will be scolded.
black.
I am no longer afraid of He Jianning. Everyone is dark-hearted and no one should look down on anyone.
"Okay, there's nothing else to do. Goodbye." Hua Zhao hung up the phone neatly.
He Jianning held the phone and smiled.
Li Mu walked in with the medicine: "What makes you so happy?" It was rare to see him smile so easily.
"My cook is coming." He Jianning said with a smile.
Li Mu thought for a moment that Sister-in-law Li, who had taken leave to go home to arrange her son's wedding, was indeed coming back this afternoon, but she was definitely not talking about her!
He Jianning was even a little afraid of seeing Sister-in-law Li. Thinking of how she could laugh? It was too late to frown.
"Do you want to change the cook?" Li Mu frowned: "Whose family? Can you make medicated meals? Although your condition is much better now, you still need to take care of yourself carefully on a daily basis, and you can't eat and drink indiscriminately."
He Jianning smiled and said, "Don't worry. If I don't replace Sister-in-law Li, I just plan to find someone to take over. Sister-in-law Li has been busy for so many years, and she should have a holiday occasionally."
Since Sister-in-law Li became his cook, she has not missed three meals a day, so it is rare for people to have a day off. Sister-in-law Li is not young anymore. Her daughter is getting married, and she may have to take care of her during the confinement period. Let’s see.
Boy, it would be nice to have someone to replace you.
But Li Mu looked at him and said nothing. Is this really the case?
He Jianning smiled again.
Li Mu ignored it and handed him the medicine bowl: "Drink it while it's hot."
He Jianning took the bowl, tested the temperature, and drank it in one go.
Seeing that he seemed to be more energetic after drinking the medicine, Li Mu frowned: "Strange to say, we bought dozens of ginseng trees from An County, but the only ones that are effective are the ones you bought from Hua Zhao.
These are the ones I bought.”
Hua Zhao's hometown produces good ginseng, and they have known about it for a long time.
After getting the first ginseng tree, He Jianning asked someone to go to the mountain to collect ginseng. After a few months, he really harvested some ginseng. He harvested dozens of ginseng trees of different years.
It's a pity that Li Mu tried it after seeing it. The other ginseng was only as effective as the one bought from the pharmacy in Beijing. The only one that had miraculous effects was the one bought from Hua Zhao.
"Sir, I received another ginseng!" Xiao Zhao came in from the outside holding a box, looking a little excited: "It was collected from Kaoshan Village over 70 years ago!"
"Oh?" Li Mu and He Jianning both stood up and surrounded the box in his hand.
