Chapter 028: A Heavenly Opportunity

After all, this was Zhang Li’s first time giving birth.

Although she was already a mother, she still felt a bit embarrassed about it.

She couldn’t imagine the scene…

Li Xinyue knew she was embarrassed.

But this was something Zhang Li herself wouldn’t say, and it would be inappropriate for an outsider or her elders to bring it up.

“Sister Zhang, if your milk ducts don’t open, you could develop breast cancer. Don’t be embarrassed.”

What?

This disease can cause breast cancer?

Zhang Li was terrified: “Okay, okay, let him in!”

The result was naturally good, after all, men are stronger!

Once the milk ducts were opened and the inflammation subsided, the illness naturally went away.

The aunt heard that the milk ducts were open and immediately came in.

Seeing her daughter’s breast milk filling half a bowl, she immediately thanked her repeatedly.

“Oh, girl, thank you so much!”

“You don’t know, my Li’er has been suffering from this illness for two months.”

“It would flare up every three or five days, and even the doctors couldn’t do anything.”

“Thank you, thank you!”

“Son-in-law, you have to thank this girl properly.”

Li Xinyue smiled: “Auntie, I’m not a girl, my son is five years old this year.”

“Ah?”

Aunt Zhang was shocked, thinking Li Xinyue was joking.

At this time, Zhang Li interjected: “Mom, she just told me, her name is Li Xinyue, although she’s two years younger than me, she’s already married.”

“She’s my sister now, and my brother-in-law is a soldier!”

“Victory, you’re a brother-in-law now, huh!”

His wife’s illness had been a real torment for Huang Shengli, but in just an hour, his wife was smiling again!

As a small leader in the pharmaceutical factory, Huang Shengli, who knew some medicine, had to admire Li Xinyue’s skills!

Besides, this girl’s husband was an officer.

In any era, soldiers are respected, let alone officers!

In an instant, Huang Shengli became unusually enthusiastic.

“Sister, I’m your real brother-in-law now!”

“Thank you so much today.”

Using her mind to help, Li Xinyue also got the information she needed from chatting with Zhang Li.

She smiled a little awkwardly at Huang Shengli: “Thank you, brother-in-law!”

“Brother-in-law, I heard you’re a leader in the pharmaceutical factory, can I ask you something?”

“No, no, no, I’m not a leader, just a worker!”

“Why not? Sister, just ask anything!”

Huang Shengli was a straightforward person, from a good family, and was a little bully when he was young.

Li Xinyue immediately asked him: “Does your pharmaceutical factory collect herbs?”

Knowing that this girl understood medicine, Huang Shengli immediately knew what she wanted to do.

“As long as you bring it, we will definitely take it!”

So straightforward!

Li Xinyue curiously asked: “What kind of medicine does your factory make?”

Huang Shengli thought for a moment: “Our factory makes quite a few medicines, about seven or eight kinds.”

“Do you have any medicine made with fresh bamboo sap?”

Huang Shengli immediately nodded: “Yes, we produce a lot of this, and the quality of the medicine is famous throughout the province.”

Li Xinyue immediately laughed: This luck has come, and it can’t be stopped!

J Province  is very large, half south and half north.

The place where she was located was in the southern part.

Bamboo grew everywhere, in front of houses, behind houses, in fields, and on hillsides.

“Brother-in-law, I can make bamboo oil, can I sell some to your factory later?”

At this moment, Zhang Li wanted to repay Li Xinyue.

She not only cured her of this terrible milk-related illness, but also gave her a way to nourish and enhance her breasts.

“That, the hospital doesn’t have!”

Before Huang Shengli could speak, she interjected, “Of course we can, Xiaoyue. Your brother-in-law is in charge of procuring raw materials.”

“How much do you have? Tell him to take it all!”

With his wife speaking, how could Huang Shengli refuse?

Anyway, he needed to buy a lot of bamboo oil every year, and he even sourced it from other provinces. The price was not cheap.

This county was full of big and small bamboo.

The big bamboo belonged to the collective and couldn’t be cut, but the small bamboo was unwanted.

Taking unclaimed things to sell was allowed by the state, not considered speculation.

“Yes, how much do you have, I’ll take it all.”

“We buy it from outside, the price varies by quality. Standard quality is 25 cents per pound.”

Wow, that’s a good price!

Small bamboo oil is less, but burning it for a whole day can still produce dozens of pounds.

This is much more profitable than earning work points.

Li Xinyue felt a surge of excitement, as if seeing money flying towards her…

She couldn’t be blamed for her small-mindedness, she was just too poor right now!

At this moment, Chen Mingchuan returned from his errand.

The aunt said she was next door, so he came over.

Seeing Chen Mingchuan looking for her, Li Xinyue immediately bid farewell.

“Sister Zhang Li , Brother-in-law, my husband is here, I’ll come see you again next time.”

Zhang Li  heard this and looked at her mother.

The aunt immediately stood up and handed Li Xinyue a handkerchief bundle.

“Xiaoyue, this is a little something, don’t refuse!”

“Since you’ve acknowledged Lili as your sister, then I’m your aunt.”

“This is your aunt’s little gift, you must accept it.”

Chen Mingchuan at the door was bewildered: “…”

I was gone for only two hours, what happened?

Li Xinyue didn’t say much to him.

The aunt insisted on giving it, and she was poor anyway, this was earned through labor, nothing to be embarrassed about.

“Then thank you, Aunt!”

“Aunt, your white hair, I’ll dig some herbs, you can use them to wash your hair later.”

“Wash once, and your hair will be full of black hair!”

“But you have to wash once a month, so that the new hair will grow black.”

“This is pure plant stuff, it won’t affect your body, don’t worry.”

What?

Is it true?

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang was stunned speechless!

You know, she’s a small leader in the supply and marketing cooperative!

This year, she’s only forty-seven!

It’s because of this white hair that she looks ten years older!

“Xiaoyue, are you serious?”

Li Xinyue smiled and replied: “I won’t say anything now, I’ll bring it over in a few days.”

Now Aunt Zhang was really excited: “Thank you so much! If it really works, Aunt will definitely thank you properly!”

Thanks are unnecessary, with the procurement department head of the pharmaceutical factory as her ‘brother-in-law’, she has a way to make money.

Of course, this way is not for herself.

It’s for Li Xinyue’s original owner’s third aunt.

That third aunt was like half a mother and half a companion to the original owner!

She’s leaving, she wants to repay the only relative in the world for the original owner.

Walking out, Li Xinyue saw Chen Mingchuan’s puzzled expression.

“Sister Zhang just gave birth and got ‘milk hair’ disease, she was crying in pain.”

“I happen to know about this, so I helped her.”

Chen Mingchuan was even more curious: “You know medicine?”

“Yes! When I was little, my grandma taught me to recognize herbs and memorize folk remedies.”

“It’s just that I haven’t used it for a long time, my skills are a bit rusty.”

She actually knows medicine?
