Chapter 28 - 27: Severing Ties of Gratitude and Duty (Please Favorite, Please Follow)
"I know that the secret recipe for this Blood-Nourishing Medicinal Diet doesn’t help Jiang in any way. In Pingling County, nearly all valuable medicinal materials are monopolized by the wealthy families. If you go to a medicine shop, you can only buy a very small quantity. The Silver Taels earned from selling the prepared meals don’t come close to the cost of the Hungry Tiger Secret Medicine itself."
"Moreover, doing so is likely to attract the attention of the wealthy families, and we’d be repeating the unfortunate path of our Luo Family."
"All I need is for Jiang to promise me one thing. For one year, conceal the fact that you have the secret recipe for the Blood-Nourishing Medicinal Diet. If I, Luo Yongcheng, do not become a Martial Artist within a year, the Luo Family medicine shop will naturally cease to exist. I will quietly take my family and leave Pingling County."
"At that time, you are free to do whatever you want with the Blood-Nourishing Medicinal Diet."
Luo Yongcheng picked up the secret recipe for the Blood-Nourishing Medicinal Diet and took a deep breath.
His grandfather was elderly and had fallen gravely ill from experiencing extreme joy followed by deep sorrow.
His father and mother cared for him day and night, and the medicine shop’s business declined day by day.
If things continued this way, within a year, their family would be no better off than commoners, with hardly a few Silver Taels saved, struggling daily for their three meals.
Under such circumstances, he had no other choice.
