Chapter 378: Don’t Ask About the Future!
Looking at the money in front of him, Yang Tiezhu was stunned for a moment, and so was his wife. ReadМ
What kind of cheese is worth so much money?
This is clearly a sign of kindness from the boss in front of him.
"This... Boss, there is no need for you to do this. I, Yang Tiezhu, am a layman, and I do care about money, but we have survived until now by collecting herbs every day, haven't we?"
Li Yi guessed what Yang Tiezhu would say, so he smiled and said: "Brother Tiezhu, you are older than me. You don't need to call me boss. I will tell you directly that your medicinal materials are indeed good. I am short of them now. The money is not much at all, I have seen the effects of the medicinal materials before, it is worth the price! ”
Then, Li Yi slowly came to Yang Tiezhu's daughter and slowly squatted down.
Looking at the pencil tip in the little girl's hand that she couldn't bear to throw away after using it, there was also a pencil sharpener that was almost rusty, and a small piece of eraser tip that would make anyone frown when looking at it.
Shen Sheng said: "The times are changing now. In the past, hospitals in the county would buy your medicinal materials at high prices because they were in short supply. Some biopharmaceutical companies would also buy them at high prices and use them to make medicines. But just like this How many medicines can you collect in the mountains near the village? There are fewer and fewer of them!”
Yang Tiezhu trembled as he leaned against the doorpost and nodded slowly.
Yes, this is actually the truth. Sometimes manpower is poor, and material resources are also sometimes poor.
No matter how many medicinal materials there are, they are never endless. It is impossible to rely on collecting medicinal materials to live till old age!
Now even if you have medicinal materials on hand, it will be difficult to sell them.
At the moment, there are basically some traditional Chinese medicine halls that are still being acquired. Large hospitals mainly deal with western medicine. The batches of western medicine are undoubtedly a very heavy blow to these precious traditional Chinese medicines.
Just a few days ago, an old Chinese medicine doctor's clinic that had always had a good relationship with Yang Tiezhu and his family's village also closed down.
The reason is very simple. Fewer and fewer people are willing to see a doctor. They go to county hospitals and city hospitals. In their eyes, although big hospitals are more expensive, they are reliable!
This has also caused the number of patients in TCM clinics to plummet.
With fewer patients, there was no income and no need for medicinal materials. Soon this old Chinese medicine clinic with a history of more than 30 years closed down.
Before leaving, the old man specially bought the last batch of medicinal materials from Yang Tiezhu as a thank you to Yang Tiezhu.
From that time on, life became increasingly difficult for Yang Tiezhu and those who stayed in the mountain village.
Sometimes, after a hard day's work, he only earns one or two yuan. This price is considered normal in this era, but Yang Tiezhu has a family to support!
And when the business was at its worst, not a single medicinal material was sold at the end of the day!
Later, I exchanged some medicines for treating colds with the hospital at a low price, and finally I managed to avoid leaving empty-handed!
Just as the little boss in front of me said, life is not getting better, but life is getting harder.
This is the current helplessness of this mountain village, and also the helplessness of the entire impoverished mountainous area of Long Country.
Not all mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there will be another bright future.
Yang Tiezhu's body slowly slid down against the doorpost, and finally sat on the ground, holding his messy hair with his hands, and his eyes were more confused than ever before.
"We just want to survive...why is it so hard?"
Yang Tiezhu's wife was equally desperate. Even though she had been working hard in the past, she could still make progress.
But now even the medicinal materials cannot be sold, and my daughter still has to go to school. How can the family eat with three mouths?
Although Kaoshan Village also grows vegetables, it still has to buy meat, right?
Not to mention the two of them, although they have never eaten more than a few mouthfuls of meat in their lives, at their age, it doesn't matter anymore!
But not children!
My daughter has just entered the first grade. She cannot live on wild vegetable roots and rice porridge for the rest of her life!
Li Yi looked at the sad look of the couple and sighed slowly.
There was only Yang Tiezhu’s family in front of him, and in a small village behind him, there were more than a hundred families who had just finished their meal!
I really should do something. Now that I'm here again, I can't just sit back and watch!
At this time, Yang Tiezhu's daughter ran over, holding Yang Tiezhu's sleeve with one hand and Yang Tiezhu's wife's sleeve with the other, and whispered: "If you don't cry, Mom and Dad, I will study hard in school!" I won’t make my teachers and parents angry!”
The little girl still doesn't know how hard life is. After all, she has been living in this house made of yellow mud bricks and straw since she was born. She has no understanding of the outside world. She has never even seen a car a few times. Electric lights are only seen in schools.
Born in such an environment, the girl rarely even eats meat. Only during the New Year and festivals, she goes out and exchanges the medicinal materials from the bottom of the box for one or two pounds of meat, which is the most delicious meal in the world. It also makes the little girl gradually get used to this kind of life, so she will naturally have no complaints.
I guess what I fear most is that my parents will worry about their poor academic performance. So seeing how sad my parents are now, the child probably thinks that his academic performance makes them dissatisfied.
When Li Yi saw this scene, he thought of his daughter Li Youwei.
I thought of the disbelief in his wife's eyes after Li Youwei was abducted by human traffickers in his previous life, the deep hatred for him, and the helplessness of not even closing her eyes after jumping off the building.
For Li Yi, there is no more unforgettable scene than the look in his wife's eyes.
Before rebirth, he had become the boss of the company, and everyone knew his name, but after finally finding his daughter, the strangeness in his daughter's eyes, and some fear.
Although his daughter finally got married and had children, there was no blood connection with Li Yi, only strangeness!
In the end, Li Yi could only leave a sum of money helplessly and leave with great sorrow.
Fortunately, God was willing to give Li Yi another chance, a chance to regret, so Li Yi worked hard to make money, with the purpose of letting Xu Qingnan, his daughter and the family around him see a figure they could rely on!
From rebirth to now, Li Yi has always believed that he is on the road of atonement!
When you encounter injustice, you should first have compassion and do all kinds of good things without asking for anything in return, just to let God see that you will not be an ungrateful person again in this life!
As I said before, just do good things and don’t worry about the future!
