He had never seen such a big ginseng before.

Not to mention him, even Fu Si Jin and Meng Yan felt strange. This ginseng seemed to have grown a circle bigger than when it was dug up.

Could ginseng still grow if it was taken out of the soil?

Or could it be that they were mistaken?

"Such a large ginseng is truly rare to see, darling. It's indeed a treasure."

"Old Hu, you're being ridiculous! You're the head of our Fangjia Pharmacy for goodness sake, how can you act like an ignorant country bumpkin?"

Mr. Hu raised an eyebrow, looking at the large ginseng in the lacquered box and explaining to the maid in the house, "Miss, I've been doing this for decades, and it's the first time I've seen ginseng of such good quality. Shouldn't you come and take a look?"

Then I have to see for myself, what kind of ginseng is so praised by the head shopkeeper of Fangjia Pharmacy.

Before the little girl even appeared, people outside could already hear the sound of her bells.

The sound grew louder and closer, and soon a girl of eight or nine years old stood before them.

She glanced at the ginseng that Mr. Hu had been praising, her eyes showing amazement but she quickly concealed it, saying, "Just average."

"It's you. If you want to see my brother, just go find Lao Hu and sell ginseng. Even if my brother comes, he won't give you any extra silver." Fang Haitang said coldly.

She thought it was another young lady again, but it turned out to be a little kid. She immediately lowered her guard.

Fu Jiujiu glanced at the book in her hand. There was no title on the cover.

"Without Brother Fang, I wouldn't sell ginseng."

"What a coincidence, we weren't interested in buying anyway." Fang Haitang shrugged her shoulders and said arrogantly.

Mr. Hu didn't think that way at all. He thought this ginseng, which was so rare to see, was absolutely worth keeping. He was afraid that if the little girl got angry, she would just leave like that.

But a person who could become the head shopkeeper of a pharmacy must be shrewd and wouldn't reveal their eagerness to buy ginseng.

"Miss, since this young girl knows the young master, why not let them meet."

Fang Haitang glared at her, "Lao Hu, did I hear wrong or did you say it wrong?"

Mr. Hu was also puzzled. It was normal for a younger sister to cling to her older brother, but his young mistress clinging to him like this, preventing other girls from getting close to him, was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

"Miss, what's at the master..."

Fang Haitang glared at him resentfully, "Don't use my father to pressure me, hmph. I don't care, anyway, my brother isn't someone anyone can just meet."

The young mistress of the Fang family stormed off in anger.

"Little girl, our young mistress is right. This item costs what it costs, I won't give you less, and our young master won't give you more. So... how much do you want?"

Fujujio shook her head, "Without Brother Fang, I won't sell." M..

After finishing his words, the little dumpling turned to leave. Hu Zhanggui anxiously chased after him, and Fu Jiujiu turned back, "I'll be here tomorrow morning."

Hu Zhanggui understood what she meant, but could this really be something a little girl could say?

She looks to be only two or three years old. Other children her age haven't even mastered their speech yet.

"Lao Hu, don't tell my brother."

Mr. Hu walked into the inner room and earnestly advised, "Miss, that ginseng looks pretty good in quality and should be beneficial to Master's illness. Besides, she's just a little girl and wouldn't have any other intentions. Just let the young master come over for a visit."

Fang Haitang curled her lips. When it came to her father's illness, she had nothing to say, but she was definitely unwilling.

Both sides were curious as to why the little bun had to meet Fang Jin Tang, but Fu Si was busy choosing a store location and didn't pay much attention to it.

They chose a decent-looking restaurant for dinner, and the young couple secretly showed affection throughout the meal. They thought Fu JiuJiu couldn't understand, but actually, Fu JiuJiu understood perfectly well.

"My husband, after traveling so many places, have you chosen a location for the shop?"

Fu Sijin shook his head, "I've seen too much, my eyes are tired."

"If you can't choose well, then why don't you let your sister choose instead!"

"Me?" Fu Jiujiu, who was stuffing braised pork into her mouth, looked at her fourth sister-in-law, "Why?"

Fu SiJin also nodded and asked, "Why?"

Mengyan smiled. "Because everyone says that my younger sister is a lucky star, since you can't choose, let my younger sister choose."

Fu Si Jin laughed when he heard this, "Wife, when did you start believing this?"

Mengyan smiled with her lips pursed. After listening to her second sister-in-law talk about the family affairs, she also felt amazed. Since this little niece was born, there have been non-stop good things happening in the family.

"Have a look again."

Fu SiJin served MengYan some dishes, then noticed her younger sister staring at him with wide eyes. He smiled and picked up a chopstickful of food for his little sister as well.

"No rush, let's take a look again."

Fu Jiujiu let out a sigh of relief. Such a big matter shouldn't be left to her to decide after all.

Fang Jin Tang found out about it in the evening. When he heard that it was a two or three-year-old little baby looking for him, inexplicably, he felt it was Fu JiuJiu.

The last time he saw her, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity. He would often think back to that adorable little girl.

Though the doll was so small, it showed no fear facing the thick as a bowl snake. Instead, it commanded the snake to bite the bad guy with utmost seriousness.

Oddly enough, the serpent actually seemed to understand her words.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it was true.

After their father fell ill, the burden of the business fell onto his brother's shoulders, who wasn't fond of business. In half a year, Fang Haitang still saw her brother laughing from the heart for the first time.

...but not because of her.

"Brother, why are you laughing? It's just a little guy. Is it that big of a deal?"

Fāng Jǐn Táng gently patted his younger sister's shoulder, "Hǎi Táng, this little one is different from the others. He's quite interesting."

"I don't find this interesting at all. You were so persistent in wanting to see me, who knows what you had in mind?" Fang Haitang pouted and complained.

"Hai Tang, what are you talking about? What kind of thoughts could a little thing like her possibly have?"

In short, I don't like it when others call you my brother. You are my brother alone.

"Silly girl, I'm not leaving, how come you make it sound like she's trying to steal me from you?" Fang Jintang found it amusing. His younger sister seemed very afraid of being robbed of him.

No matter what, she'll always be her own sister. Does it really matter?

"Brother, in short, you promise me that you can never leave me for your whole life."

Fang Jin Tang nodded, “How come you’re talking so sadly out of the blue? Did your father's illness make you overthink things again? Don’t worry, I will definitely find the best doctor to cure your father.”

Fang Haitang leaned against his shoulder, tightly clutching one of his arms.

Brothers and sisters, blood is thicker than water, of course we are not afraid of separation.

...they...

"Brother, I can't live without you. The Fang family can't live without you either."
