After Gu Jiaojiao and Su Shuochi finished eating, they took Geng Haoyi and the others to load the rice. They all desperately needed money.
After talking with his dad for several hours, Geng Haoyi was even more desperate to earn money.
With the extra people, it wasn't practical for Gu Jiaojiao to drive, so they all walked instead.
As they chatted idly on the way, Geng Haoyi started telling Su Shuochi and his wife about his family's past.
His father's health was severely compromised and he needed proper nourishment. According to his dad, Su's family ate chicken soup stewed with ginseng every single day.
Ginseng was so expensive these days, and hard to come by. His father's body would need a few more years to recover.
He was already eleven when he left his father, so his memories of that time were crystal clear.
