BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2620: Mission 6
“But you’re aware that Uncle’s family is not a good family, and they won’t let us live peacefully either. Tomorrow, lock the door and stay at home. Don’t go out, and don’t open the door, no matter who calls you. Wait for me to come back,” Gu Chaoyan advised.
“Sister, where are you going?” Yan Dandong inquired.
Gu Chaoyan pondered for a moment.
Even if she wasn’t sure they fully comprehended her words, Gu Chaoyan respected the two sisters of the Yan family and decided to share everything with them.
“The reason for our current situation is mainly because we lack support. If we want to improve our lives, we need our own strategies and some people who appear capable of supporting us. Our father mentioned to me before that there are valuable wild medicinal herbs in the mountains. Our North Village specializes in cultivating medicinal herbs for a living. If we can find a way to locate those medicinal herbs and sell them…”
“…”
“Firstly, we’ll have some money for a fresh start.”
“…”
“Secondly, we can approach our father’s former employer, the Lin Family’s pharmacy. If our ingredients are of high quality, they might provide assistance, allowing us to lead a better life.”
“…”
“I need to think about it more, but that’s all I can come up with for now.” Gu Chaoyan had considered the options but preferred not to delve too deeply into the intricacies, fearing they might find it overwhelming.
Yan Danxia and Yan Dandong remained silent for a while. They were still young and required time to process this information.
After a lengthy pause…
Yan Danxia inquired with confusion, “But finding those medicinal herbs can’t be that easy, can it?”
“Father already told me the approximate location, so I just need to invest some time and effort. Father believed it was a pity to unearth them, so he left them there. But unexpectedly, so many unforeseen things happened,” Gu Chaoyan explained, feeling a tinge of guilt. She knew that her father had passed away, making it convenient for her to weave some fabrications, or else her two sisters might not believe her.
Uncertain about finding medicinal herbs on the mountain, Gu Chaoyan had a backup plan. If the mountain yielded nothing, she could retrieve some from her interspace.
Either way, she couldn’t afford to lose in terms of confidence. Her two sisters needed to believe her.
In the current predicament of the Yan family, maintaining their morale was crucial. They had to restrain their frustration, or everything would crumble.
Yan Danxia and Yan Dandong, being still young, placed trust in Gu Chaoyan’s words. Both wore serious expressions, anticipating the future and feeling a sense of responsibility for safeguarding the family.
To prevent them from rushing ahead, Gu Chaoyan advised, “Go and get some rest. I’m going to check on Mom.”
The two children obediently nodded.
Gu Chaoyan went to see Mrs. Yan.
As long as she was alive, there was hope for recovery, so Gu Chaoyan wasn’t overly anxious.
Upon entering the room, the scent of medicine filled the air, a common occurrence for someone bedridden for an extended period.
Danxia had brought some food earlier, and Gu Chaoyan noticed that Mrs. Yan hadn’t eaten much. Concerned, she approached and said, “Mom, why aren’t you eating?”
“I’m not hungry. Take it and eat it. My body can’t take it anymore. There’s no need to waste these things. I’m useless. I can’t protect you.”
