Chapter 2660: Mission 46
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Chaoyan treated every member of the Yan Family equally, be it the youngest Dandong or the oldest Ms. Wang. They engaged in open discussions and collectively made decisions.
The Yan family operated on a unique principle – if one couldn’t shoulder a burden alone, everyone would unite and become the pillars of support. This collective effort aimed to enhance their lives.
“I still have two old ginsengs and the dragon root. I’ll retain them for now, keeping them as a trump card. In case of unforeseen incidents, they can be useful.”
“…”
“Additionally, what’s our next step? We planted a small amount of ginseng, and the Lin Family’s medicine shop is pleased with it. If they desire more, we should expand our planting scale. Our five acres of farmland near home is planned to be extended with another five acres nearby. We’ll build a protective wall and cultivate within it.”
“…”
“The same applies to the small ginsengs. Send batches to the Lin Family’s medicine shop, but ensure not to deplete the stock. Reserve some in each batch, drying them in the sun for future use.”
“…”
“Our collaboration with the Lin Family’s pharmacy is stable. Unless any issues arise, maintain the current arrangement.”
“…”
“When we amass enough funds, we’ll venture into the city and purchase shops. If Danxia and Dandong are interested in business, we’ll dive into it. If not, we can lease the shops for additional income.”

“There’s nothing else; just remember these guidelines,” Gu Chaoyan concluded with a serious tone.
Ms. Wang and the others pondered the discussed plans carefully. In contrast, Dandong voiced his confusion, questioning, “Sister, why did you provide such detailed arrangements? Are you leaving us? Otherwise, why plan something so distant?”
Dandong sensed that his sister might not return for a long time.
Everyone sensed an underlying issue.
In the past, Ms. Wang might not have given much thought to it, assuming it was related to Danqiu’s marriage. However, given the current circumstances, with Danqiu’s marriage already settled, why was she making such far-reaching plans?
“Danqiu, do you already have someone special in your life?” Ms. Wang inquired.
Gu Chaoyan found it amusing but was unsure how to respond. “No, I just want to clarify things for you. Who knows what tomorrow holds? There’s nothing wrong with planning ahead,” she explained.
Ms. Wang appeared puzzled, uncertain of what Gu Chaoyan intended to convey.
The conversation lapsed into silence, with no one pressing further.
The next day…
Manager Lin arrived early in the morning, wearing a cheerful smile and carrying various items.
This was precisely what Gu Chaoyan expected.
Although they desired the ginseng, the young master hadn’t offered a price, instructing Manager Lin to negotiate it with them. This suggested that the Lin Family’s pharmacy highly valued the ginseng, prompting them to initiate discussions.
Gu Chaoyan prepared tea she had bought the previous day, a relatively high-quality option for North Village standards. It was sufficient for their needs.
“I brought you some meat and other food for your regular consumption. Additionally, I believe you can use the fabric the young master brought from the capital. I brought that along too.”
“…”
“Also….”
