It was only after a belated realization that Jiang Mianmian had also been reborn that she understood the ginseng matter far more precisely than she did herself.
Thinking it over carefully, her family hadn’t suffered too much of a loss, after all.
Now that her family had acquired this initial capital, she would have the seed money for future business endeavors. What she couldn’t reconcile was letting the Third Branch make off with five hundred yuan for nothing!
Even if she had to throw the money away or burn it, she wouldn’t stand for the people of the Third Branch getting such an advantage.
How infuriating!
Moreover, she rembered that in her previous life, the Jiang Family’s ginseng had only sold for one thousand yuan.
And it had taken several days to find a buyer at that.
Could it be that in her previous life, Uncle had lied to Grandma and Grandpa as well as to them, underreporting the price by five hundred yuan?
Zhaodi smirked coldly: Yes, that must be it, without a doubt!
He failed to consider that small towns had few wealthy buyers and that they couldn’t sell at market price at all. In her last life, Jiang Changhai getting one thousand yuan for it was quite an achievent.
anwhile, on the other side of the wall, the Third Branch was also in high spirits. Sun Lixia, clutching the money in her hands, smiled till her eyes were just slits.
"Haha, Changtao, I can’t believe the ginseng was worth so much, selling for over a thousand yuan. We’re rich people now," Sun Lixia said, her face flushed with excitent.
"Yeah, I was thinking even two or three hundred would be fine, but we ended up getting five hundred yuan. Wife, think quickly; now that we have so much money, what should we buy?" Jiang Changtao asked joyfully.
"Changtao, I think we should hold onto this money for now, head to town, and have a good al to celebrate, to treat ourselves," Sun Lixia suggested, swallowing hard.
The Jiang Family hadn’t eaten at for several days, and Jiang Changtao was also craving it. The husband and wife quickly agreed, called back their two boys, and the family of four sneakily went to the state-run restaurant in town to improve their al.

When Jiang Changhai returned from Stone Bridge Village, Su Wanyu hurriedly took the eggs from his hands: "Brother Hai, we don’t need to buy eggs anymore; we still haven’t finished eating the ones Mom got last ti. With these added, we’ll have enough for half a month."
"If the old lady wants to give them, we’ll take them. Now, you see, our daughter’s place in Mom’s heart is almost akin to her two precious grandsons. She’s always thinking of the good things for her," Jiang Changhai said, very pleased with himself.
After Jiang Changhai entered the house and didn’t see Jiang Mianmian, he asked with puzzlent, "Hmm? Where’s my girl?"
"She went for an afternoon nap," Su Wanyu said softly, glancing at Jiang Mianmian’s bedroom door.
In reality, Jiang Mianmian had just completed the English and Korean tests in the system space and had earned another ten intelligence points.
She had known both languages previously, so she learned them rather quickly.
mory (200): 147
Observation (200): 129
Attention (200): 128
Thinking (200): 128
Imagination (200): 130
Average intelligence value: 132.4 (Excellent intelligence is 120-140)
Remaining intelligence points: 20
The system, noting she had saved so many intelligence points, suddenly popped up: "Host, you wanted to research carriers, didn’t you? You have so many intelligence points in hand now; you can open a laboratory and conduct experints. You should know that it’s best to start researching carriers as soon as possible. Only by accumulating enough experience can you make continuous progress through exploration. Moreover, testing a project only requires one intelligence point, which is very cost-effective."
Hearing the system’s overly enthusiastic advice, Jiang Mianmian shook her head cautiously: "No need. I’m not in a hurry to do experints right now. I’ll wait until I have more intelligence points; that way, I’ll have more confidence in the experints."
