Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

"What are you doing here?!"

Gu Yuan thought it was a nurse coming to check on her, but when she looked up, she saw someone she utterly loathed. She immediately snapped, "You're not welcome here! Get out! Get out now!"

"Second sister-in-law, don't get agitated!"

Fearing that the woman might rush up and scratch him, Fang Wei quickly said, "I heard from my older brother that Uncle Gu was hospitalized due to high blood pressure, so I bought some tonics to visit him."

"Stop being disgusting here!"

Gu Yuan didn't believe him at all and said with disgust, "I don't care what you're trying to do, take your things and get out of here! Our family can't afford to take them..."

"Dean Gu, it's time for rounds."

An old but confident voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Fang Wei turned around and saw an elderly doctor with gray hair and reading glasses walk in, followed by two young doctors, a man and a woman, each holding a medical record folder.

The old Chinese medicine doctor sensed something was off about the atmosphere in the ward as soon as he entered. He glanced at Fang Wei and then looked at Gu Yuan.

"Xiao Gu, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, Director Zhang."

Gu Yuan suppressed her emotions, but her voice was still somewhat harsh: "An unrelated person, I was just about to ask him to leave."

Looking at the things Fang Wei was carrying, Director Zhang roughly guessed what was going on.

But he didn't ask any more questions, and went straight to the bedside to check Gu Weimin's vital signs: "Old Gu, how are you feeling today? Are you still dizzy?"

Gu Weimin opened his eyes, his voice weak: "Much better... just still a little stuffy..."

"Hmm, the pulse is much more stable than yesterday, but the wiry pulse is still there, and the underlying cause of liver yang hyperactivity remains unchanged."

Director Zhang withdrew his hand, picked up the medical record, scribbled a few notes on it, and turned to prepare to take two young doctors to check the next ward.

But just as he walked past Fang Wei, he suddenly stopped.

Director Zhang twitched his nostrils twice, his gaze falling on the old cloth bag in Fang Wei's hand.

A small section of yellowish-brown root was visible through the gaps in the cloth bag. The cut surface had a slightly milky white sheen and emitted a very faint, grassy, ​​and woody fragrance.

"Young man,"

Director Zhang stared at the yellowish-brown root and asked, "What are you holding in your hand? Can I take a look?"

Fang Wei was stunned for a moment, then realized that this person should be Gu Weimin's attending physician, so he put all the supplements on the ground and opened the cloth bag.

"Here you go, take a look if you want."

Director Zhang reached out and picked up a Gastrodia elata plant, gently stroking it. He then brought it to his nose, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

Gu Yuan frowned as she watched this scene.

I don't quite understand why Director Zhang is so concerned about a few pieces of yellowish-brown tree roots.

"Top-notch! This is truly the finest wild Gastrodia elata!"

Director Zhang carefully placed the gastrodia elata back into the cloth bag and spoke excitedly to the two young doctors.

"Come and look! The texture, the color, the oiliness at the fracture! It's so rare to find genuine wild Gastrodia elata of this quality these days!"

Looking at Director Zhang's excited face, and then at the few pieces of yellowish-brown tree roots in Fang Wei's hand, Gu Yuan suddenly felt a little confused.

"Director Zhang, is this top-grade wild Gastrodia elata?"

The young female doctor asked in a low voice.

"certainly!"

Director Zhang said to Gu Yuan, "Little Gu, this top-grade wild gastrodia elata is the best medicine for calming the liver and extinguishing wind. It's the perfect medicine for Old Gu's condition!"

"Young man, where did you get all this gastrodia elata?"

Fang Wei glanced at Gu Yuan, who was still in a daze, and honestly replied, "I found it in a wild forest in our village."

"So that's how it is!"

Director Zhang nodded vigorously, rubbed his hands together, and said in a somewhat urgent tone, "Young man, could you sell these five Gastrodia elata plants to the hospital? The price is negotiable!"

"If you'd like, you can also..."

"I'm not selling this Gastrodia elata."

Fang Wei interrupted Director Zhang directly, and before he could speak again, he continued, "Director Zhang, I originally brought this Gastrodia elata to give to Uncle Gu."

"..."

Director Zhang adjusted his reading glasses and said hesitantly, "Young man... do you know how much these five Gastrodia elata plants are worth?"

Fang Wei placed the cloth bag on the cabinet beside him and said in a flat tone, "I know."

"You knew that and still gave it away?!"

Director Zhang suddenly raised his voice, startling the two young doctors.

He grabbed the largest gastrodia elata from the cloth bag, held it up in front of Fang Wei, and said, "Look at the oil on the broken surface! Look at the texture!"

Director Zhang gently scratched the yellowish-brown root with his fingernail, and continued speaking while looking at the milky white luster of the cut surface.

"To tell you the truth, genuine wild gastrodia elata of this quality would cost at least eighty or ninety yuan per kilogram on the market!"

"If you take these five plants together to a herbal medicine shop, you could easily get two or three hundred yuan!"

He looked at Fang Wei with a hint of exasperation, feeling that the young man had no taste for money at all, and earnestly reminded him, "This is two or three hundred yuan! Are you really planning to just give it away like this?!"

The two young doctors exchanged a glance, both seeing astonishment in each other's eyes.

Gu Yuan stared at the few yellowish-brown tree roots with a complicated expression. When Director Zhang was agitated earlier, she had wanted to refute him.

A few tree roots, how valuable could they be?

Her father is the hospital director. She has been going in and out of the town hospital for so many years. What kind of medicinal herbs hasn't she seen?

But now...

Gu Yuan's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. She simply looked at Fang Wei, who was standing there, again.

This face just looks a little more mature than it did a few years ago.

Back then, this person came over with bloodshot eyes, reeking of alcohol, saying inappropriate things, and even tried to touch me.

At that moment, her husband rushed over, pinned Fang Wei to the ground, and beat him so badly that he almost broke his leg.

Gu Yuan is already mistreated at home, let alone outside.

She pounced on Fang Wei and scratched his face until it was covered in blood. If her sister-in-law hadn't desperately stopped her, she would have really wanted to gouge the beast's eyes out alive!

As Gu Yuan thought about the past, her complicated feelings suddenly disappeared.

wrong!

How could Fang Wei, a gambling addict who doesn't care about his family, suddenly change his ways and empty his pockets to deliver medicine?

This kind of thing only happens in plays!

What could be the purpose of a gambling addict suddenly pretending to be a good person?

I need to borrow money! Absolutely!

Either she wants her father to arrange a good job for her!

Gu Yuan thought about it more and more and it made more sense.

What's so special about Gastrodia elata that costs two or three hundred yuan?

As long as her father gives the nod, whether it's borrowing money or arranging a formal job for Fang Wei at the hospital, this "capital" can easily be earned back several times over!
