Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1243: Chapter 1244: Working in Pharmaceuticals

Every time the mention of that fifty thousand yuan debt came up, Chen Kaijin felt a heavy weight on her heart.

Hearing what her sister had said, she let out a sigh and couldn’t bring herself to scold her for the affair with Boss Wang. After all, this sister of hers had always been beyond her control and had her own strong opinions.

”But still, what does Boss Wang want Chiang Xiao to do exactly? And who is this Old Bai he mentioned?”

”Actually, I’m not very clear about it either. I was totally clueless when I accompanied you to Peace Town. But after we returned this time, my relationship with Boss Wang progressed further, and he told me a bit about it when he was in a good mood.”

Chen Sue frowned and said, ”That Old Bai, they say he’s a pretty formidable and well-connected old man in Province J. His son is quite a big shot there in Province J as well.” Chen Sue gave a thumbs up.

”No way? Chiang Xiao could know such a figure?” Chen Kaijin was startled. ”How did she meet him?”

”I don’t know. Boss Wang didn’t explain clearly either. But Boss Wang mentioned that Chiang Xiao can paint, right? Her teacher has been quite famous lately. Maybe her teacher pulled some strings?”

”Even if she can paint, I’ve heard that she won some competition in G Province. But that kind of casual folk art competition, even if you win an award, it’s not really significant. What kind of painting can a young girl like Chiang Xiao do? I bet it’s just flowers and grasses or something. Important people wouldn’t pay attention to her for that, would they?”

”It can’t just be flowers and grasses. I’ve heard from Boss Wang that Chiang Xiao paints really well, and besides, Old Bai originally had Alzheimer’s and somehow got better after meeting Chiang Xiao,” said Chen Sue. ”Boss Wang is planning to enter the medical field, and he probably wants to find Chiang Xiao because of this.”

Chen Kaijin felt that this whole thing was highly dubious.

First painting, now suddenly medical ventures?

What does Chiang Xiao know about medicine?

It seemed rather laughable to her.

Seeing her disdainful expression, Chen Sue patted her lightly and said, ”Sis, don’t underestimate Boss Wang. He’s very smart. Otherwise, how could he have amassed such a fortune in this day and age? You should help him. If you really make him happy, not only will your fifty thousand not be a problem, but he might even give you more.”

”Alright, alright, I’m not going to talk more with you. I need to rush back. Last time, I said I was going to Huaming County with you for some errands, and your brother-in-law didn’t believe it. He’s been suspicious of me. These last few days I’ve been out for a while, and he’s been asking all sorts of questions.”

”Wow, sis, are you showing off to me here? You know your husband treasures you!”

”I’m just telling you the truth; how did that turn into showing off?” Chen Kaijin glared at her and waved her hand, then turned and left.

Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian had spent a full day deep in the mountains.

They had been productive that day, finding two more of the required medicinal herbs. That made a total of four they had found.

As the setting sun hung on the mountainside and the heat began to subside, Meng Xinian stopped Chiang Xiao, who was eager to keep going.

”Let’s call it a day here; we need to find a place to spend the night.”

He had brought a campaign tent, but they still needed to find a suitable spot to set it up.

He had come to realize that once Chiang Xiao entered the mountains and began searching for herbs, she was full of energy.

And even in areas where the underbrush was thick, where others might be afraid of snakes, she wasn’t frightened at all.

When it came to the skill of searching for medicinal herbs, he admitted that he was no match for her. Both times, it was she who had found the herbs, and he could only provide some labor, digging under her direction.
