Chapter 1177 - 1177: 10% Commission
After hearing Liu Hua's explanation, Lu Jueyu said with a sigh, "Sister Liu Hua, it's not that I don't want to help you. But the ointment I gave my children was made with 500-year-old ginseng. I only had a small amount, and it's all been used to make two jars. I don't have any of that ointment left."
Hearing this, Liu Hua's disappointment was evident. But before she could respond, Lu Jueyu added, "Although I don't have the same ointment, I do have some made with 50-year-old ginseng. I'm not sure if Doctor Xie would be interested in this quality."
Liu Hua's eyes lit up as soon as she heard her words and asked, "Jueyu, could you give me a small sample so I can let Doctor Xie examine it?"
Seeing the anticipation in her expression, Lu Jueyu nodded and agreed readily, "Please wait a moment, Sister Liu Hua. I will go get it."
After saying this, she headed to her bedroom. After closing the door, she retrieved a small jar of lower-grade wound ointment from her space. The jar contained 10 ml, just enough as a sample.
Returning to the living room, she placed the jar on the table and said, "Sister Liu Hua, to be honest, I have sold some of this ointment on the black market for 50 yuan per 50 ml jar. If you are interested, I can give you 5 yuan for every jar you sell."
Both Pan Meijia and Liu Hua stared at her in shock when they heard her words. Not only was she willing to help Liu Hua secure Doctor Xie's promise, but she was also offering Liu Hua a way to earn money by reselling the ointment.
In their entire brigade, no one else had such a kind heart!
Misinterpreting their expressions, Lu Jueyu asked, "Sister Liu Hua, is the commission too low?"
Liu Hua quickly waved her hands and replied, "Not at all!"
Five yuan was a huge amount considering that it was 10% of the total price.
After a pause, Liu Hua asked, "Jueyu, you are already helping me by letting me sell this ointment to Doctor Xie. Why give me a commission? Won't you suffer losses?"
Lu Jueyu chuckled when she heard this and said, "Sister Liu Hua, this ointment is made from herbs my husband and I gather in the mountains. While we put in effort to collect the herbs and re
"It's just a small gift," Lu Jueyu said with a gentle smile.
After Liu Hua left, Lu Jueyu turned to Pan Meijia and said, "Second Sister-in-law, your husband is here."
Pan Meijia looked surprised and asked, "When did my husband arrive?"
"He came this morning to help my husband with the greenhouse."
Curious about the greenhouse, Pan Meijia said, "Third Sister-in-law, how about we go take a look?"
"Okay."
The two women went to the east wing, where their husbands were busy building the greenhouse walls. When Pan Meijia saw the massive structure, she was stunned.
She had imagined the greenhouse to be the size of a woodshed. She never expected it to be this big. It was bigger than most villagers' homes!
Just thinking about the amount of bamboo and thatch required, Pan Meijia realized building a greenhouse was no simple task. While she was still observing the structure, Li Lingyun walked over and asked, "Wife, when did you come back?"
Hearing her husband's voice, Pan Meijia turned around and said with a smile, "I came a while ago with Sister Liu Hua. Husband, I didn't know you were here."
"Well, my third brother asked me to help him with this. Wife, I have been thinking that we should build a greenhouse in our yard too. What do you think?" Li Lingyun asked while wiping the sweat from his brow.
Noticing his clothes soaked with sweat, Pan Meijia felt a pang of distress and said, "Husband, if you want to build it then we will build it. The weather is so hot today, why don't you rest for a bit? You might get heatstroke if you stay in the sun too long."
Overhearing their conversation, Lu Jueyu glanced at her watch. It was nearly eleven o'clock in the morning. No wonder the sunlight feels harsh on the skin.
"Second Brother, I will make some cold drinks. You should take a break," Lu Jueyu suggested.
Feeling a little tired, Li Lingyun nodded and walked to the balcony with his wife. One of the advantages of a courtyard house is the shaded balconies could be found in most areas, making it easier to find a place to rest and cool down.
Meanwhile, Lu Jueyu approached her husband and said, "Husband, you should rest for a while too."
Hearing her voice, Li Chenmo paused his work and looked at her. He nodded at her and asked, "Wife, can you help me make some herbal tea?"
