Chapter 111 Tracking Discovery
The next morning, Su Cheng'an left Lincheng facing the rising sun. After meeting up in an inconspicuous grove on the outskirts of the city, this elite team of a hundred men began their journey south again.
Jinchu and Huanyan sent another batch of goods to Yangyanfang and earned another 420 taels of silver.
That afternoon, she began to make further improvements and optimizations on the pearl powder and balm based on the customer feedback given by Li Meiniang.
After another three busy days, Huizhen came back.
She and her mother hurried back that day and saw her grandmother lying unconscious on the bed. She had been taking medicine prescribed by a local doctor, but her condition remained bedridden and showed no signs of improvement.
The old lady was almost seventy years old, how could she withstand the slow consumption of energy while in a coma?
Huizhen and her mother were anxious, so they hired a car to invite a famous doctor from the city that night. The doctor examined the old lady and prescribed a decoction worth three taels of silver for the old lady to take that night.
In just two days, the effect was evident. Not only did the old lady regain consciousness, but she also felt much better and was able to get out of bed and walk around.
No wonder this doctor is famous. Although the consultation fee is not cheap, he is indeed a skilled doctor.
Jin Chu silently memorized the location of Doctor Wang’s clinic.
When people eat grains and cereals, they may get sick at any time, so they can quickly seek medical treatment and medicine.
Huizhen's mother came back after staying at home for two days.
Once everyone was there, they began to live a busy and fulfilling life again.
Three days passed like this. One day, Huizhen and Huanyan went to the workshop, and after sending Zhaoer off, Huizhen's mother went to the street to buy vegetables.
Jin Chu was the only one left in the yard. She was in the house mixing a new formula for making powder when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
At first, Jinchu thought it belonged to a neighbor's house, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
A moment later, there was another, more urgent knock on the door.
Huizhen's mother had just been out for a short time and would not be back for a while. Aunt Zhao was also very careful and always took the key with her when she went out.
It seems that the person knocking on the door today is either Huanyan or Huizhen.
Jin Chu was rubbing the balm with her hands. She couldn't stand up for a moment, so she called out to the door, "Huan Yan?"
There was no response from outside.
Jinchu asked again: "Huizhen, is that you?"
Still no response.
As if surrounded by dark poisonous snakes, Jin Chu suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart and shuddered.
After a while, the knock on the door sounded again.
Jin Chu simply wiped her hands clean, stood up and went to the yard. She held her breath and suddenly opened the gate.
There was no one outside the door, only the rustling of leaves in the breeze.
Why do I always feel like I'm being watched?
Jin Chu stepped out of the courtyard and looked around again, but it still seemed as if there was no one around.
Maybe I was just overthinking it!
She shook her head, turned around, closed the gate, and went back into the house to continue the unfinished work in her hands.
After that, there was no more movement outside the door.
At early noon, Huizhen's mother came back with a basket of food. She greeted Jinchu and went to the kitchen to wash up and prepare lunch.
At noon, Huizhen and Huanyan also came in one after another.
The four of them ate and chatted, and Jin Chu suddenly remembered what happened in the morning, so he asked, "Did you two come back halfway today?"
Huizhen and Huanyan shook their heads at the same time.
Seeing Jinchu's thoughtful look, the two curiously asked, "Did anyone knock on our gate today?"
Jinchu recounted the two or three knocks on the door that occurred that morning, and concluded, "I was mixing the balm at the time, and my hands were very inconvenient. Then someone knocked on the door again, so I called out your names, but there was no response. Then I washed my hands, opened the gate, and looked around, but still no one was there."
"Maybe you heard it wrong? Or maybe it was the neighbors knocking on the door?" Huizhen guessed carelessly.
Jin Chu said with some uncertainty: "Maybe."
The topic stopped there, and they talked about the proficiency of the workshop workers, and which workers were steady and efficient, and which ones could be recruited to be team leaders in the future, and other personnel management experiences.
The day passed like flowing water.
Compared to the happy days at Jinchu's, the Sun family in Qingxi Village had a very torturous time during this period.
There were less than five days left until the Dragon Boat Festival, but she still had no news about Jin Chu.
When Sun thought about the possible punishment from Mr. Li after the Dragon Boat Festival, she became so anxious that she couldn't sleep or eat, and even her originally plump body became much thinner.
Just when she was so anxious that she was about to perform a shaman act, she unexpectedly met Huizhenniang who had returned to the village.
It was a coincidence that just as the naughty girl Jin'er left Qingxi Village, the youngest son of the Wang family went to the provincial capital to study. In addition, the eldest son had to prepare for the autumn examination, so Huizhen and Huizhen's mother also went to the provincial capital to take care of the two sons' food and daily life.
At this critical juncture, it is not surprising for a mother to take care of her son.
But Huizhen, a little girl, actually had to leave the two grown men at home and follow her mother to the provincial capital. It seemed a bit weird no matter how you looked at it.
Before Jin'er disappeared, she and Huizhen had a close relationship like sisters. We should be able to find Jin'er by following Huizhen, right?
Thinking of this, Sun began to pay attention to the movements of Huizhen and Huizhen's mother.
Hard work pays off. Just as Huizhen and her daughter finished visiting their grandmother for the last day, they returned to Qingxi Village, took some clothes to change into, and rushed back to the city.
Sun became cunning and gritted her teeth, paid for the ride, and secretly followed Hui Zhenniang's car all the way to Jinchu's current residence.
She made a mark first, and the next morning, when Huizhen's mother, Huanyan and Huizhen were not at home, she secretly knocked on the door, causing Jinchu, who was too busy to do anything else at the time, to call out Huanyan and Huizhen's names.
Sun didn't know who Huanyan was, but she knew who Huizhen was. She immediately confirmed that it was Jinchu's voice. She was happy, but also afraid that it might be just a girl with a similar voice. If it caused a misunderstanding, she would still not be able to explain to Mr. Li.
So, Sun, who had never been careful enough, became careful and alert for once after suffering many setbacks from Jinchu and being afraid of Li Yuanwai.
She deliberately knocked on the door and hid in the corner of the alley not far away. After luring Jin Chu out and confirming everything, she left with peace of mind.
That night, Sun couldn't contain her excitement and tossed and turned for half the night before she finally fell asleep.
The next morning she got up excitedly and without bothering to send a message to her cousin first, she took a donkey cart directly to her cousin Li's house.
After Li came home from work, the two sisters had a conversation, and Jinchu was sold out again quietly.
On the way home, Sun cursed Jin Chu a hundred times in her heart, and then she couldn't help laughing. After living in fear for so long, she could finally be proud of herself after today!
The fifty taels of silver were safely earned.
