Sheng Jiu had just arrived when she heard this voice.
She thought, "Eldest Aunt, your intuition is spot on!"
She smiled and pushed open the door, saying, "Eldest Aunt, there's only so much ginseng. I can't bear to give it to anyone else. I'll keep it for you first."
Eldest Aunt turned around in surprise when she heard Sheng Jiu's voice: "Oh? Little Jiu is here! Come quickly, let Eldest Aunt take a look at you. I haven't been feeling well the past few days and haven't had a chance to get a good look at you."
Eldest Aunt was indeed in high spirits now, able to get out of bed and wander around.
Sheng Jiu obediently sat down beside her, letting her Eldest Aunt to hold her hand: "You child, have you lost weight again?"
Eldest Aunt didn't really approve of Sheng Jiu, a young girl, taking over a small restaurant.
If Sheng Jiu hadn't gone to university and hadn't ventured out into the world, Eldest Aunt wouldn't have felt too sorry.
But this child went to university!
She was on the verge of a brighter future.
And now, she's stuck with this restaurant.
However, Sheng Jiu was raised by her grandparents, there's a bond between them.
If she really asked Sheng Jiu to give it up, the child would definitely be stubborn and refuse.
The eldest aunt didn't want to offer any more advice, lest the child get annoyed by hearing it too much, so she could only tenderly touch her hand.
Sheng Jiu saw that her eldest aunt's eyes were red again, and smiled to comfort her, "I haven't lost weight at all. I've actually gained weight recently. You don't know, I recently found a great supplier. The ingredients they have are so good. I even ate a huge serving of steamed dumplings last night."
Mentioning steamed dumplings, Eldest Aunt subconsciously swallowed: "The ingredients were so fresh! Those dumplings last night were absolutely mouthwatering. Several people came over to ask your brother where he bought them."
Speaking of this, Eldest Aunt perked up: "By the way, are you making dumplings again today? Do you have enough people? If not, I'll come over and help you make them. I'm sure I'm a great cook!"
Sheng Jiu couldn't bear to make her suffer: "The company didn't send any shrimp meat today, so I can't make dumplings. But I brought some shrimp paste and squid, which are leftovers from yesterday. They don't taste good frozen, so I'm not going to sell them. You take it back, and you and eldest uncle can keep it to eat."
Upon hearing this, Eldest Aunt hurriedly waved her hand, "No need, no need, you paid for it yourself, keep it for yourself, we have plenty of food at home."
Just then, Eldest Uncle came in with Sheng Si Yu, "Yes, yes, yes, Little Jiu, you keep it for yourself."
Her eldest uncle was a lean, middle-aged man. His skin was tanned a deep, glossy black from farm work, but his teeth were very white, creating a striking contrast when he smiled.
Sheng Jiu turned around at the sound of his voice and smiled warmly at her eldest uncle, "Eldest Uncle's here."
Eldest Aunt's recovery was going well, and Eldest Uncle's mood had improved considerably. He smiled more often.
After he came in, he first spoke to Sheng Jiu, saying, "Keep those things for yourself, Little Jiu."
Then he pointed to Sheng Si Yu, "I asked Little Yu to bring some vegetables from home. You can take some back with you later and eat them slowly."
Sheng Jiu liked homegrown vegetables, so she accepted them with a smile.
She accepted their things, and wouldn't let her eldest uncle and the others refuse the things she had brought herself.
After some persuasion, her eldest uncle and the others realized they couldn't dissuade her and could only accept them with smiles.
Sheng Ze Xuan practically wanted to put that bottle of ginseng-infused Gene Nourishing Liquid in a safe!
He didn't know if other ginseng was effective, but Sheng Jiu's was truly amazing!
His mother's recovery was all thanks to this ginseng.
So he enshrined it, carefully stored it away, and then, upon returning home, followed Sheng Jiu's instructions.
While they were talking, Sheng Jiu's phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number, and Sheng Jiu didn't bother to look at it.
Hearing the noise, her eldest aunt frowned when Sheng Jiu didn't answer: "Is it your little uncle and the others again, or your mother's eldest sister and the others?"
Sheng Jiu wasn't sure either, so she shook her head: "I don't know either, but my little uncle and the others are more likely to be involved."
As she said this, Sheng Jiu told her eldest uncle and the others about what she had done that day.
She directly sent five men, along with two verbally abusive individuals, to the residential area where her little uncle and his family lived to display a banner.
[Thanks to Mr. Sheng Wen Zong for introducing his niece to the man who had just been released from prison!]
Sheng Jiu had already paid for the two custom-made banners and sent the university students to pick them up.
Sheng Jiu mentally calculated the time and figured the university students should have arrived by now?
After she hung up the phone, Sheng Jiu glanced at it and found that the university students had already started sending feedback pictures in the group that had been temporarily created last night.
Little Uncle Sheng is a man who cares a lot about his image.
He can brag to the point of absurdity in the neighborhood.
Now, Sheng Jiu's actions have completely humiliated him.
So, it's no wonder Little Uncle Sheng was furious.
Sheng Jiu didn't answer the phone, and soon after, Sheng Si Yu's phone rang.
Sheng Si Yu hadn't blocked her little uncle and his wife yet.
Looking down, she couldn't help but laugh: "They're picking on me, the easy target!"
Eldest Aunt's face darkened after hearing this. She took Sheng Si Yu's phone, answered it directly, and put it on speakerphone.
As soon as the call connected, Little Uncle Sheng's wife's furious voice rang out: "That jinx Sheng Jiu, how dare she? Is she sick? How can her little uncle face people like this?
...
Blah blah blah.
They could tell that Little Uncle Sheng's wife was indeed about to go crazy with anger!
Eldest Aunt wasn't in a hurry, letting her rant for a while before asking, "So? What did Little Jiu say wrong? Wasn't the guy you introduced her to just out of prison?"
Upon hearing that it was her eldest aunt answering the phone, Little Uncle Sheng's wife, like a chicken with its throat choked, immediately fell silent.
Three seconds later, she hung up the phone.
There was no way around it, besides Little Aunt Sheng, her eldest aunt was the most formidable fighter in the family.
Eldest Aunt was sick before, so Little Uncle Sheng's wife still dared to run around and cause trouble.
Now, upon hearing her eldest aunt's voice, she instantly became obedient.
Sheng Jiu, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but want to laugh.
After handing the phone to Sheng Si Yu, Eldest Aunt glared at the Eldest Uncle, saying, "He's all the good stuff your family raised."
The eldest uncle felt wronged but dared not speak.
The family packed up, preparing to return to the village first.
They had just stepped out of the hospital when Sheng Jiu's phone rang again.
At first, she thought it was her little uncle and mother's eldest sister calling again.
But after she hung up, it called again, and then again.
Were they being a bit persistent?
The eldest aunt, watching anxiously from the side, snatched Sheng Jiu's phone away: "If you don't dare to answer, I will! I want to see which shameless person dares to bully the child, as if I'm really dead!"
Sheng Jiu didn't refuse. After her eldest aunt answered the phone, she put it on speakerphone, cleared her throat, and asked, "Who is this?"
Eldest Aunt thought, if it really is Little Uncle Sheng and his wife, they'll probably hang up the phone as soon as I say that.
If it were Sheng Jiu's mother's eldest sister and youngest brother's side, they would probably have to speak in a high-pitched voice as well.
As soon as the eldest aunt finished speaking, a very polite voice came from the other end: "Excuse me, are you Ms. Sheng Jiu, the legal representative of Restaurant Sheng Ji?"
Eldest Aunt: ?
Sheng Jiu and the others: ? ?
