Looking at Mother Xie, Mother He said, "Sister-in-law, it was your family who wanted this marriage and promised us that you would treat my daughter well. But from what I see, your son doesn't like my daughter at all."
Hearing this, Mother Xie tried to explain, "Sister-in-law, it's a misunderstanding. Ah Zi, he—"
Before she could finish, Mother He interrupted her. "Sister-in-law, although my daughter is 20 years old, she is beautiful, talented, and cos from a good family."
"Compared to your 27-year-old son, my daughter is in a much better position. I see no reason for him to treat us so rudely. Since your son doesn't like my daughter, let's forget about this marriage. There are many people who want to marry my daughter."
After finishing her words, she pulled her daughter and said, "Ling'er, let's go."
Being pulled by her mother, He Ling was stunned. Didn't they agree to let her marry him? Why had her mother suddenly changed her mind?
Seeing them leave, Mother Xie quickly chased after them while saying, "Sister-in-law, please wait."
Hearing this, Mother He didn't stop. Instead, she hastened her steps. Although the Xie family was renowned in the dical field, the He family was just as influential, with mbers in politics, the military, and research.
She wouldn't lower her stance just because her daughter liked Xie Xuanzi. If he wanted to marry her daughter, the Xie family had to show sincerity. Otherwise, they could forget about it.
With this thought, Mother He finally stopped, turned to look at Mother Xie, and took a deep breath to calm herself.
"Sister-in-law, if your family still wants this marriage, let your son visit my family and apologize to my daughter personally. Otherwise, we can forget about it."
After she finished her words, she opened the car door, pushed her daughter inside, and climbed in herself. The mont the door closed, the driver quickly drove the car.
Standing at the entrance, Mother Xie slapped her thigh and scolded her son angrily, "One day, I will die of anger because of that brat!"
Unlike his mother, who was beating her chest and stomping her feet in anger, Xie Xuanzi had already pushed the matter regarding He Ling to the back of his mind.
When he returned to his office, he placed the package on his table and opened it. Seeing the jars and a letter inside, his eyes instantly lit up.
He had learned from his uncle about the wound ointnt made by the Li family's third daughter-in-law. He had also tested it himself, as the ointnt given by Xiao Yiguan was actually made by her. Therefore, he knew exactly how good her wound ointnt was.
Before leaving Xie village, he had discussed with his uncle the possibility of securing a stable supply. He hadn't expected his uncle to send so many over in just two days.
Opening the letter, he saw his uncle's handwriting and read it carefully.
'Xuanzi, these are the wound ointnts you wanted. For now, Uncle could only send you 30 jars. The cost of ingredients to make one jar is 70 yuan.
Even though the price is high and the quality is not as good as the one you have, this ointnt can be produced without the limitations caused by rare ingredients.
Uncle has already placed an order for 500 jars, which will be sent to you when ready. You may need to wait a while, as the maximum daily production is 80 jars.
If your superior asks about the recipe or its maker, just tell them Uncle made it and that Uncle has no plans to hand over the recipe to the governnt. If they want long-term cooperation, they can talk to personally.
After reading this letter, be sure to burn it. Next ti you visit, Uncle will prepare more tonic wine for you.'
When he finished reading, Xie Xuanzi smiled and quickly disposed of the letter. Only after ensuring it had burned to ashes did he check the ointnt.
After taking a sniff, he realized it didn't have the sa rejuvenating effect as the one he owned. It seed this batch was indeed of lower quality.
But considering the ingredients used, it was normal that it didn't have the sa effect. After all, the jar he had was made with 500-year-old ginseng.
Once he finished checking the ointnt, he quickly carried the package and went to find his superior.
At the sa ti, in Xie Village, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo were busy inside her space.
After bringing the brown bear skin into the space, a new item selection appeared in the store. Now, they could buy any kind of leather from the store, as well as a factory to produce leather goods.
Since she lacked gold coins, Lu Jueyu could only afford the factory for processing leather. Inside their space, they had several types of animal husbandry, but no bears. So, they could only use Zhang Ermu's brown bear skin for a trial test.
It took just five hours for the factory to process the skin into a high-quality blanket. Although the blanket was ready, they didn't plan to give it to Zhang Ermu imdiately. They needed to wait at least two weeks to avoid arousing suspicion.
With nothing else to do, Lu Jueyu decided to make so snacks while Li Chenmo went to train. Without his wife's help, he could only expend his energy elsewhere—otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
He jogged around the farmland until he reached the lake area. Rembering the cocoon he had seen before, he decided to check on it. Based on what had happened last ti, the cocoon should have either grown bigger or remained the sa.
With this thought, he quickened his pace and reached the lakeside in less than ten minutes. He expected to see the cocoon imdiately upon arrival, but instead, the lake's surface was empty.
Standing by the lake, Li Chenmo looked around but saw no trace of the cocoon. He ran around the lake but found nothing.
