104: Chapter One Hundred and Four
An intermittent light rain began to fall from the sky. This light rain seemed to herald the true arrival of winter. The air temperature dropped several degrees at once. Pedestrians were in a hurry, and those who wore thinner clothes were rushing home. Home was the only place they could warm up.
When Wang Cheng saw no customers, he closed the shop and went home. There were not many people on the street, only some women holding umbrellas and going to the market to buy dishes for dinner.
Wang Cheng stopped the car stopped outside, and braved the rain, running to the yard. There was a sunshade tent in the yard, and there, he wiped off the raindrops from his body. He walked to the door of the house, but before he stepped in, heard a voice from inside. Peeking inside, the person who spoke was actually the man who united with the medicinal plant businessman to cheat them of their medicinal plants, and was nominally a friend of Papa Wang’s.
This person’s surname was Huang. He was a foreigner who moved to a village near the Wang’s Village ten years ago. After marrying a woman from the Wang’s Village, he took root in the village. He had known Papa Wang through his wife for many years. The relationship between the two was pretty good.
After suspecting that his motives were impure, Wang Cheng and his parents began to guard against him. He had not been told about the sale of the medicinal plants to Che Fan. After a few days, he couldn't hold back, so they only met because he came to the door directly.
"Brother Wang, are you thinking about it? Boss Xu called me this morning and asked me if you wanted to sell or not. He came from another place, and is not staying in Shanhai City for long. With this in mind, it's better if you get this done as soon as possible. If you miss this chance, you won't have it again."
Huang Fulai made a worried expression that seemed to be for their sake. He didn’t know that his true face has long been known by Wang Cheng’s family. He used to have a good old man's face, but now he looked disgusting. They wanted to expose him on the spot and turn their faces away from him.
"Uncle Huang." Wang Cheng walked in and greeted him with a smile.
Huang Fulai found it was him, and his expression was a little uncomfortable for a moment. He deliberately chose a time to come when Wang Cheng was not at home, because he was worried about being discovered by Wang Cheng. He was confident that he could hide from Papa Wang and Mama Wang, but was rather worried about Wang Cheng.
"Wang Cheng, why are you back so early today?"
“Can’t I come back earlier? Is Uncle Huang afraid I will delay your business?" Wang Cheng sat in front of him and said deeply.
Huang Fulai froze. "How could it be."
"Fine, then let's talk about the batch of herbs." Wang Cheng nodded with a smile.
Huang Fulai was immediately energized. These days he had been waiting for news from them at home, but Wang Cheng's family had not made a move. He was afraid that something went wrong and could not restrain himself from coming over to probe them. "Then have you thought about it? How about it?"
Wang Cheng shook his head. "The price he gave is too low, and we don't plan to sell it."
"What?" Huang Fulai was stunned, "But the reason why the price is low is because the effect of medicinal plants is lost. You also know that once the effect of medicinal plants decreases, many businessmen will not buy them. Now it is rare for the boss to buy, this is a good opportunity!"
"The so-called decline in effect is just one-sided words from the other party. Uncle Huang didn't know that before the north mountain was contracted by my family, nearby villagers would go to the north mountain to look for medicinal herbs when they were sick. After drinking the boiled medicine, their bodies recovered well. It’s completely different from what the other side said is not effective. I discussed it with my parents. That person may want to lie to us and buy the medicine in our hands at a low price."
