Ma Xiulian nodded, closed her eyes, and resumed her sleep.
After all, what's true can't be faked, and what's fake can't become true. The ginseng is not going to grow legs and escape from the locked cabinet.

She took out the cloth bag, opened it nervously, and instantly saw the ginseng inside.
It wasn't a dream!
She couldn't help but yell excitedly, "Old man, wake up, we weren't dreaming last night!"
"Hmm!" Chen Dazhu responded calmly.

"Guibao is awake!"
Ma Xiulian walked over with the ginseng, looking at her slightly confused little granddaughter, and said gently, "Look, this is the good thing the monkey brought you last night."
"What good thing?"
