“Yesterday, I asked Lu Dafu if he can sell the herbal medicine I can find. Lu Dafu promised to help me. He is a doctor. He’s not only familiar with medicines but also familiar in the pharmacies to the town. He can certainly sell this at a good price. If we sell it on our own, we may fail to sell it at a good price.”
Hu Changlin listened and nodded: “Yes, that’s right. Old Lu is a good person. If he says he is willing to help, he will definitely help you. Zhi’er, I didn’t think that in your situation yesterday, you can still think of this idea. This is not simple ah.”
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “I just think of it on a whim. Hu Bo, don’t exaggerate it too much. I am a proud person.”
The four of them had a great time. Bai Zhi put back the wild ginseng in her bamboo bag and faced Hu Changlin: “Hu Bo, although this wild ginseng was dug by me, without Hu Feng’s help, I won’t be able to find it. I may even lose my life on the mountain. So, I decided that no matter what price I sold it, we will divide in half. What do you think?”
Hu Changlin has never been a greedy and cheap person. After he heard her words, he hurriedly waved his hand: “No, that can’t be. This wild ginseng is so valuable. It’s not a common thing. We can’t divide the price. You will lose too much money.”
Zhao Lan also opened her mouth: “Hu Dage, can’t you understand? If Hu Feng didn’t protect Zhi’er, she might have bitten by the snake now. How will she find this wild ginseng? I may also say, that giving you half the price is very little.”
Hu Changlin swept his eyes to Hu Feng: “What do you say?”
Hu Feng's face was emotionless, but he swept his eyes to Bai Zhi and said: “Each person gets half is very fair. Just do it."
With Hu Feng's words, Hu Changlin no longer refused. He just said with a smile: “Okay, that’s it. We will divide the price in half for the two families.”
How long will it take before he could save 50 silver coins? So, Hu Changlin was naturally happy inside his heart. He has never seen so much money in his life. So, why he can’t be happy?
After the four of them rested for a while. They finished the work in the field together. While the sky was still bright, they hurried went home.
But, after stepping into the village entrance, Bai Zhi pulled Hu Feng to go to Doctor Lu’s house. She was not feeling safe with this wild ginseng. If she suddenly bumped with the Bai Family, she cannot save it.
“Hu Bo, if you have free time, can you clean the big gray rabbit? At night, I will cook braised rabbit meat for our dinner.” Bai Zhi shouted while walking a few steps backward and turned around.
Hu Changlin repeatedly nodded his head, while watching Bai Zhi and Hu Feng’s departing figure. Then, he returned with Zhao Lan in his place.

Bai Family
Old Lady Bai was sitting and chatting in the backyard with Mrs. Liu. When suddenly, she heard a movement in the front yard. And it seemed she heard Bai Dazhu and Bai Erzhu’s voice. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurriedly threw away the fan in their hands and rushed towards the front yard to greet their hero.
“Dazhu, Erzhu, you’re back? What about the bag of white flour? Hurry and take it out, so we can eat steamed bread at night.” When Old Lady Bai entered the house, she shouted at her two sons. Their door was wide opened, so the villagers definitely heard her voice.
The villagers that could eat steamed bread were only a few. So today, when her two sons returned with the bag of flour, she naturally wanted the whole village to know that her sons also have abilities.
But who knows, when she stood in the courtyard and saw the appearance of her two sons, she could no longer open her mouth to shout.
The clothes of her two sons were torn and tattered. There were bluish purple bruises on their face. The corner of their mouth has some blood and their hair was messy. As if they escape a fight.
