Chapter 76 Uncle, I Don’t Want to Be Your Brother
Gu Zhiqiang knew that those units and departments must make money, but he did not expect that there would be such a big price difference.

You have to know that he wandered around the mountains with his brothers and some good friends from the village for several days and suffered a lot before he discovered that piece of medicinal herbs.

As a result, Gu Zhiqiang was really dissatisfied with the price offered by others for purchasing the medicinal materials. It would be really unwilling to give it to them just like that.

If they were just a little bit apart, even half the distance, maybe they could accept it.

However, the price offered by the purchasing party for the ginseng was actually less than 10% of the price sold by the hospital, and even the team leader could not accept it.

It was Qi Bin's words that gave them more confidence:
“Uncle, go ahead and dig for medicinal herbs, and you can rest assured about other issues.

It’s not cost-effective to sell it locally, I can help you find a market.

My aunt works in a hospital in the capital, and I have doctors I know in many other hospitals. If you can really find good herbs, you don’t have to worry about sales channels.”

Qi Bin's words gave them reassurance, and even the captain was moved.

Gu Zhiqiang grinned, patted Qi Bin on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you are really the best."

Qi Bin grimaced. Not only did it hurt from being patted on the shoulder, but it was mostly heartbreaking.

Uncle, can't you see that I'm pursuing your girl? You want to be my brother?
The captain didn't care about their lawsuits. He was just happy to think that the Red Flag Brigade would have another way to make money in the future.

With a wave of his hand, he let Gu Zhiqiang and the others go into action. Anyway, they would be given full work points, and if they really earned back the money, they would definitely benefit from it.

After the captain left, the only ones left were the Gu family. They were happy to be able to dig ginseng.

On the other hand, he also expressed his indignation towards some people in the county hospital.

Gu Zhiqiang went to the county hospital to ask in person, and they only offered ten yuan for a ginseng that was over a hundred years old.

But if someone is sick or a family member needs to be taken care of, they can go buy ginseng. The kind that is hundreds of years old will cost about a hundred yuan per stick.

The price difference is so, so, so, so unacceptable.

So when he knew that Qi Bin could find another channel for them to sell medicinal materials and they didn't have to go to the county hospital to suffer, Gu Zhiqiang was very happy.

In his heart, he immediately regarded Qi Bin as his closest brother besides his parents, wife and daughter.

Qi Bin said that he didn’t really want this kind of closeness, you are my uncle!
Gu Zhiqiang had no intention of caring about Qi Bin's thoughts. Anyway, he thought this man was okay, but his family background was too good and he didn't want his daughter to suffer in the future by marrying someone of higher status.

However, Gu Zhiqiang is 200% confident in his daughter and feels that she will have a great future.

So what if you are from a big city in the capital? My daughter is the best and the most outstanding, and I will not accept any rebuttal!
So, let the young people deal with their own affairs.

Gu Zhiqiang thought about it and felt that he had to make one thing clear to his parents.

"Mom, I went to the county town today. I wanted to see my sister."

The older generation is used to it, so Gu Zhiqiang still calls them dad and mom, but it is different for the younger generation as most of the children in the family have received education.

So they gradually changed and started calling their parents “mom and dad” like the people in the city.

When Gu Zhiqiang mentioned this, Shi Guixiang also remembered that the last time she took her granddaughter to the county town to buy things, she also met her aunt. Gu Xiang worked in the county supply and marketing cooperative. If Gu Wan wanted to go shopping in the future, it would be much more convenient with her aunt.

The old lady was a thoughtful person. The last time she went back, she felt that there was something wrong with her eldest daughter's expression.

Seeing the constipated look on the third child's face, the old lady became unhappy and ordered directly: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't mess around, you ugly boy."

Gu Zhiqiang rolled his eyes, "Mom, I'm already the father of the child, can't you give me some face?"

"No." Shi Guixiang answered decisively.

In the Gu family, male babies are worthless and ugly, so don't expect the old people to like them.

"When I went there, Xiaomei hadn't started work yet, but I felt that the people in the supply and marketing cooperative had a strange attitude towards her. I saw Xiaomei when I went to the supply and marketing cooperative after finishing my business, but I also felt that she looked very bad. Mom, when you took Wanwan to see Xiaomei last time, didn't you notice that she had something wrong?"

"What could it be?" Shi Guixiang replied intuitively.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhiqiang said: "I don't know what's going on, but I just felt something was wrong, so I secretly followed my younger sister when she got off work at noon, and found out that she was living alone in the staff dormitory."

The county supply and marketing cooperative has staff dormitories, but only old employees who have worked for a certain number of years are eligible to apply, and the conditions are very poor with twelve people living in one room.

Gu Xiang has been married for several years. Although the housing conditions of her husband's family are not as good as those in the countryside, it is at least a courtyard with large blue bricks and tiles.

So after marriage, Gu Xiang has been living with her husband Sun Qifei in her parents-in-law's yard, and they have to pay ten yuan every month as living expenses.

Add to that some miscellaneous expenses at home, it can be said that Gu Xiang doesn't have much money left every month.

To put it bluntly, in fact, it was Gu Xiang who supported Sun Qifei in the past few years, and no one knew where that man kept his money.

But at least it was her father-in-law who helped arrange a job for her in the county supply and marketing cooperative, and Gu Xiang and Sun Qifei were classmates who fell in love and got married, so after marriage the couple lived with her parents-in-law.

Being a daughter-in-law, one always has to endure some suffering, so even though Shi Guixiang was not very optimistic about this son-in-law, she did not say anything.

Suddenly hearing what the third brother said, Shi Guixiang felt something was wrong, "Why would Xiangxiang live in the staff dormitory?"

They had gone to see it before, but the environment was not good, with so many lesbians crowded together.

Not to mention the noise, but they all have their own little thoughts. The key point is that the Sun family’s house is big enough for them to live in, so why did Gu Xiang move out alone?

"Then did you ask Xiangxiang if anything happened?"

"Originally, I found out about it when I secretly followed my little sister. She never said anything to her face, so how could I ask her?" This was why Gu Zhiqiang felt troubled.

Although he knew he shouldn't make his parents worry, Gu Zhiqiang knew it wouldn't be convenient for them as brothers to intervene in such matters, so he finally told his mother.

Gu Wan also remembered that the last time she and her grandmother went to the county town to see her aunt, she already had a strong feeling that something was wrong.

In this case, Gu Wan simply said to Shi Guixiang: "Grandma, when I finish my work tomorrow afternoon, come with me to the county town to visit my aunt."
