The rich family's parents were robbed, and the milk group went crazy for the boss's family

384: Steal

Grandpa Fu and Tan Hongru were delighted to hear this and said they would give them a big red envelope. Everyone was happy, except for the men who were forcing a smile.

Compared to money, he was more interested in seeing what was so special about this blood ginseng, and besides, he was not short of money at all!

Therefore, he was careful when digging up the third plant.

This job requires complete concentration; everyone is focused on their own task, and no one has the time or inclination to pay attention to others.

So he deliberately tore off one and then hid it in his sleeve, repeating his previous trick.

In the end, after all the blood ginseng roots were dug up, he had three tendrils hidden in his pocket, a fact unknown to anyone but himself.

After sorting and putting away all the blood ginseng, Grandpa Fu was very happy and gave each of them a thick red envelope.

As they were about to leave, the Xiao family's butler also gave them red envelopes and packed a fruit basket for each of them to take home as a token of their gratitude.

They all happily accepted it.

I'd heard for a long time that the Xiao family's fruit was amazing, and today I finally got to see it for myself.

These fruits are so expensive they're practically unavailable in the market; even if you have the money, you can't buy them.

Only those with good connections or those on good terms with the Xiao and Fu families could buy them.

By the time the news reached them, the fruit had already been snatched up, and they couldn't even smell it anymore.

They were just helping out with a trivial little task with their teacher, and they were already getting such a basketful. Although they didn't say it aloud, they all felt a sense of blissful elation.

They couldn't wait to go home and taste the fruit to see if it was really as amazing as the rumors said.

The Xiao family's butler invited them to stay for dinner, but they all declined without prior arrangement.

And so, each of them, carrying two thick red envelopes and fruit baskets, left the Xiao family home with beaming faces.

Once they got back, they couldn't wait to take the fruit out of the basket, wash it, and take a bite.

That one bite opened the door to a new world.

Meanwhile, at Sun Lei's home.

After returning home, he first handed the fruit basket to his wife, then went back to his room and took out the three ginseng roots from his pocket.

He looked at the three ginseng roots with a complicated expression. Just then, there was a knock on the door, and he quickly put the things into the drawer.

Sun Lei's wife looked excited, holding an apple cut in half in her hand, clearly amazed by the quality of the fruit.

Seeing her husband come out, she quickly handed him the other half.

"You should try this, it's delicious."

Sun Lei took the food and took a bite, his heart skipped a beat, but afterwards he lost his appetite.

Why are you making that face? Is it not tasty?

He didn't answer his wife's words; he just stared blankly.

He somewhat regretted taking those three ginseng roots.

When Sun Lei finished eating, he still looked numb. His wife put a piece of rib on his plate and asked him curiously.

"Did you see the head of the Xiao family when you went to the Xiao family today? I heard she's very beautiful, is that true?"

Sun Lei snapped out of his daze and shook his head.

"Didn't see it."

"Ok."

He lost his appetite again, and seeing his unusual behavior today, his wife finally couldn't help but ask him.

Sun Lei, who had been carrying a heavy burden in his heart, couldn't hold back any longer and told her what had happened.

As the last word fell, his wife stared at him in shock.

"How could you do such a thing? Return the ginseng root to them immediately!"

"I've been helping people dig ginseng for so many years with my teacher, and this is the first time I've seen such high-quality ginseng. I was completely bewitched."

Sun Lei sighed helplessly and continued.

“If I return it now, they will know that I deliberately cut off the ginseng roots. Do you think the Xiao family will forgive me then?”

Hearing this, the wife felt like the sky had fallen. She lost her appetite and couldn't help but complain to him.

"It's all your fault! We're not short of money, but you insisted on taking things from the Xiao family. Now look what's happened, what if they find out..."

Sun Lei did not refute, but listened silently.

He was indeed confused for a moment.

After dinner, he took his wife to see the three ginseng roots hidden in the drawer.

He originally intended to use it to make soup to nourish his body, but now he can't even drink it.

I can't return these ginseng roots; keeping them is like a hot potato, and I don't know what to do with them.

"You shouldn't take it back. Keeping it here is just a nuisance. Why don't you take it out and sell it? Didn't you just say that this ginseng root is very good?"

Upon hearing his wife's suggestion, Sun Lei shook his head with a heavy expression.

"No, we can still get away with it if we don't sell it, but if we do sell it, the Xiao family will definitely come knocking on our door."

Therefore, he would rather let the three ginseng roots stay in the drawer and lose their medicinal properties than take them out.

The room fell silent.

Even Sun Lei, let alone his wife, felt that what he had done was not worth it.

Sighing and lamenting for a long time, Sun Lei finally fell asleep exhausted in the early hours of the morning.

Two days passed in this state of constant anxiety, with Sun Lei fearing that the Xiao family would come looking for him every day.

He inquired around and only felt relieved after learning that the Xiao family had already sent those blood ginseng roots to be used in medicine.

Since the Xiao family has already sent the blood ginseng away and hasn't sent anyone to look for him, it means they haven't discovered that matter.

Upon hearing the news, his gloomy mood brightened for once. When he got home, he took out the ginseng rootlets that he had hidden for two days and threw them into the pot when he cooked soup that evening.

When the soup was ready and served, the rich aroma whetted his appetite, and he couldn't wait to scoop out a bowl.

After taking several sips, Sun Lei still didn't feel any change, but a warm stream first gushed out of his nose and dripped onto the pure white dining table.

He quickly covered his nose with his hand, staring at the bowl of soup in utter shock.

The fact that just one ginseng root could have such a great effect far exceeded his understanding.

Sun Lei carefully stored away the remaining two ginseng roots as if they were treasures.

His work is related to medicinal herbs, and he is a mid-to-senior level leader in the company.

A few days ago, our partners from Country R came. One of the company presidents was very old, listless, and his legs were trembling.

Sun Lei overheard his colleagues gossiping that he had been ruined by alcohol and women.

If he were to give the remaining two ginseng roots to the president, he might be promoted, and not only that, he might even become the person in charge of this external cooperation.

Moreover, since the president is from Japan, there's no need to worry about the Xiao family finding out if I give him the items.

Thinking of this, Sun Lei quickly found a clean box, put the two ginseng roots inside, and prepared to send them to the president the next day.
