Chapter 188: This Gu Chen, how can you not take advantage of a free bargain!

Gu Chen heard Ji Pianran mention embroidery and got up to pour a cup of hot water.

His wife isn't feeling well, so drink plenty of hot water!

And she can't do heavy work.

No matter how old a girl is, she should be spoiled like a treasure.

In the past, he was stupid and didn't know how to cherish her. If he still doesn't understand these truths after a lifetime of hard work, then he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself.

'Embroidery? Why don't you go again in a few days? You haven't been feeling well these few days...'

Gu Chen didn't finish his sentence, but Ji Pianran knew exactly what he meant.

Ji Pianran gave Gu Chen a gentle glare and said, 'I've been working on this for a long time. It would be a relief to hand it in early, so that I don't have to worry about it every day. It's like having a stone in my heart.'

That was her character: if she has something on her mind, she always wants to get it done as soon as possible, otherwise she will be constantly worried and never be able to let go.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was so stubborn, Gu Chen could do nothing.

But he also knew that it was her heart and soul, and she had been embroidering it carefully for so many days, waiting for this day.

Gu Chen didn't want her to sell it to make money, but to make her happy and put her mind at ease.

'Then I'll go with you tomorrow,'

He really couldn't bear the thought of his daughter-in-law going alone.

He wasn't feeling well, and he had to travel such a long way...

'You're not busy! Really, I'm a grown man, do you still worry that I'll get lost?'

Ji Pianran could clearly feel Gu Chen's concern for her, and her heart couldn't help but feel warm. But she always felt that Gu Chen regarded her as his daughter...

It always felt strange.

'Hey, it's fine, my daughter-in-law's matters are the biggest thing!'

Gu Chen smiled. What was he in a hurry for?

You can't earn enough money.

It's enough for a family to be able to live together in peace and harmony!

His greatest wish is for the people he loves to be well.

Ji Pianran, Tang Tang, his own brother and parents.

But then again, it wasn't as if he had gone out of his way to give his daughter-in-law a present.

He had originally planned to go into the city in a few days to find out about the cherries.

As the two were talking, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw it was from an unfamiliar number.

'Hello,' Gu Chen said into the phone.

It was none other than Uncle Guang, who had called her at lunchtime, but Gu Chen happened to be frying food at the time, and the noise in the kitchen was so loud that she hadn't heard it at all.

This was already the second time Uncle Guang had called.

Hearing Gu Chen's voice, Guang Shu couldn't contain his excitement, 'Oh, you finally answered the phone!'

That day, his wife had already asked three times.

Gu Chen's eyebrows twitched, 'Who is this?'

He didn't know who the person was, but from the tone of voice, he really was looking for him.

'It's me, Uncle Guang. You gave me the cherries the other day, don't you remember?' Fearing that Gu Chen still couldn't remember, Uncle Guang continued, "Cordyceps, does that ring a bell?'

Hearing the word "cordyceps,' Gu Chen's slightly furrowed brow suddenly relaxed, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

'Oh, it's you.'

'It's me. I want to ask how the cordyceps are doing and when they can be delivered.' Uncle Guang pretended to be anxious.

To be honest, although the cordyceps sinensis is precious and a superior medicinal herb, the family still has some in their own factory, so the Ji family is not in a hurry to collect it.

What he is anxious about is Gu Chen's background, and his child and daughter-in-law!

That is the point.

'Tomorrow, we can deliver it tomorrow. Shall we make a new appointment somewhere or just at the hospital?' Gu Chen asked.

Hearing that the goods could be delivered tomorrow, Uncle Guang let out a sigh of relief and then came up with a prepared set of words.

'By the way, I thought your daughter was very cute the other day, and she looks a lot like my niece's child.'

'That child is now five years old, and she is very spoiled at home. She has mountains of toys, but now that she is older, she doesn't want them anymore. Why don't you bring her over to see if there is anything she likes?'

'Children, after all, always like to have more toys.'

Uncle Guang's words were so well-chosen that they were watertight.

Normally, who wouldn't want their child to have more toys? But he was talking about a mountain of toys, and the sheer quantity made it clear that there were a lot of them.

Uncle Guang thought that Gu Chen would definitely be tempted. Even if she just picked a few, they would still be worth more than 100 yuan, which would save a lot of money.

But Gu Chen just smiled.

'Tangtang is still young, and she can't play with toys for older children. Her mother and I will buy her whatever she needs.'

If it were the newly reborn Gu Chen, he might really be tempted by the mountain of toys.

But now, if he wanted to, he could make a mountain of toys for Tang Tang.

It's just that Gu Chen doesn't want to do that. He doesn't think that toys need to be many, just enough.

Tang Tang doesn't lack toys right now, and there's no need for so many.

There are too many for her to play with.

And there has to be a limit to everything. He truly loves his child and wants to give her the best, but he doesn't want his love to turn into spoiling.

As long as his daughter is healthy, well-fed and happy, he doesn't mind. There are some things that, if you give too much of, it will go in the opposite direction.

Uncle Guang on the other end of the phone was taken aback and didn't know what to say.

He had seen too many parents asking for toys from their older children, and in his own mind, it was almost inevitable.

But Gu Chen had actually refused him?

He was unwilling to give up and tried again.

'You don't like toys? That's fine. There are still lots of clothes. My niece has never worn anything shabby. Children grow up quickly. You can buy a new set every three months. Most of them have only been worn once or twice. I like that little princess dress myself.'

Gu Chen smiled and said, 'Thank you for your kindness. Our child is very good, so clothes and toys are not necessary. Thank you for your concern. Let's set a place to meet first.'

'This'

Uncle Guang didn't expect that this kid Gu Chen would not take advantage of anything.

He didn't want toys or clothes, but just wanted to see the child. How could that be so difficult!

Of course, he didn't know that although Gu Chen was not rich, he was extremely generous when it came to spending money on his child. Moreover, Gu Chen didn't like the idea of Tang Tang wearing second-hand clothes that someone else had given away.

The main reason was that the day he was reborn, Tang Tang was wearing someone else's clothes, and she was out in the cold with just a little bit of her arm sticking out. At that time, he vowed that he would never let Tang Tang wear clothes that someone else had given away.

She would definitely have a lot of her own clothes.

Uncle Guang couldn't think of a better excuse at the moment, so he had to smile reluctantly.

'That's fine. I'll send you an address. Bring the goods tomorrow and we'll meet here.'

Since he had already said so much, if he forced the issue any further, he was afraid that Gu Chen would become suspicious. It would be better to continue the conversation when they met tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, Uncle Guang sent Gu Chen an address. Gu Chen glanced at it, and it was in a good location, a warehouse.

It was probably going to be used for storage, after all, and it was normal for someone who specialised in medicinal herbs to have several warehouses.

He smiled at Ji Pianran, 'You see, we were just talking about it, and tomorrow we have to deliver the goods to someone.'
