Hongji considered carefully; the medicinal plant seedlings his daughter had obtained with such difficulty couldn’t just be discarded.
It was a kind gesture from someone else, so he decided to establish a small herb garden to plant the seedlings and nurture them carefully.
Mr. Mo and his wife were, of course, aware of this matter. Applauding his young uncle’s enthusiasm, he did not try to dampen others’ passion for planting.
While he was not familiar with matters concerning medicinal herbs, he did know that some were hard to come by, not something one could simply dig up in the mountains.
