"Why are you here?"

Ye Shuping looked at Lin Fan in front of her and was somewhat surprised.

Then, as if remembering something, she looked at him warily.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't bother us anymore? Why are you still following us?"

Ye Shuping clearly thought Lin Fan had come here specifically to find them.

After all, Lin Fan had done this kind of thing many times before on various occasions.

Ye Fuhai, who was standing to the side, did not speak, but his furrowed brows showed that he was also somewhat impatient with Lin Fan's presence.

However, upon hearing this, Lin Fan merely glanced at them indifferently and turned his head away without saying a word. Instead, he continued to smile at the female doctor and said, "Doctor, these three plants can stay with you. I trust you. Just bring the money to the ward after you weigh them."

"I'll take this one with me."

As soon as she finished speaking, the female doctor quickly said, "It's alright, young man. Please sit down for a moment. I happen to have a scale on my desk. It will only take a minute or two. I feel more at ease if we do the transaction in front of you."

Then she glanced at Ye Shuping and her husband, and said apologetically, "Wait a moment, I have something to do!"

Then, in front of the two of them, the female doctor picked up the small scale on the table used for weighing Chinese medicine and weighed it. In the end, the three ginseng roots weighed more than six ounces.

That adds up to 1,340 yuan.

"Doctor, what's wrong with you...?"

Seeing that Lin Fan was ignoring him and was doing something with the female doctor, he noticed that Lin Fan was not paying attention to him.

Ye Shuping's face turned pale, and she subconsciously asked the female doctor a question.

The female doctor smiled and asked, "Do you know each other?"

"...Not familiar with it."

“I did a business deal with this young man. He picked some wild ginseng and wanted to sell it to our hospital.”

The female doctor gave a brief explanation.

Then she smiled at Lin Fan and said, "Young man, you'll have to wait a little longer. This isn't something I'm buying for myself; it's a hospital item, so I need to keep some paperwork. I'll go to the front desk to get a form, and once I have the money, I'll bring it to you."

Lin Fan nodded and replied with a smile, "Thank you for your help, doctor!"

After saying that, the female doctor hurriedly left the ward.

At this moment, Ye Shuping and her husband in the ward understood perfectly well that Lin Fan had not come here on purpose to look for them.

For some reason, Ye Shuping felt a little annoyed by Lin Fan's calm expression, as if he were treating them like air.

She stared at Lin Fan and said coldly, "You've got a lucky break. Don't do anything reckless with the money you've made. Living a good life is the right thing to do."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan still ignored Ye Shuping and lowered his head to wrap up the wild ginseng he had left for his wife.

Ye Shuping immediately became somewhat angry.

This brat used to be so groveling in front of me, begging to go home, but now that we haven't seen each other for a few days, he's completely ignoring me. Is he pretending not to hear me?

Thinking of this, she looked at Lin Fan with disdain and said, "What, you've gotten stubborn just because we won't let you into our Ye family? Pretending not to know us?"

Beside him, Lin Fan chuckled softly and finally responded.

"Auntie, why should I get to know you? We shouldn't have any relationship, right?"

"I have a habit of not liking to talk to strangers, sorry."

Seeing this, Ye Shuping wanted to say something more, but Ye Fuhai pulled her aside and frowned, saying, "Alright, he's right. We're just strangers now, so he doesn't need to waste his breath on you."

"Let's go, we'll come back later!"

Clearly, Ye Fuhai felt somewhat uneasy with Lin Fan present.

After all, this was his own flesh and blood, even though he had been kicked out of the house.

But for some reason, Lin Fan's current attitude of ignoring them made him feel vaguely uncomfortable.

He couldn't explain why, but he knew it was best to keep his distance from Lin Fan in the future and try to have as little contact with him as possible to avoid making things uncomfortable for everyone.

Hearing her husband's words, Ye Shuping retorted angrily, "What's the rush?"

She stared at the small cloth bag in Lin Fan's hand and snorted, "Aren't you selling ginseng?"

"The hospital won't buy the one you have, so I'll buy it!"

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, but calmly shook his head and said lightly, "Sorry, if you want to buy it, you can go find that doctor. As for this one in my hand..."

"This is for my wife to nourish her body."

Ye Shuping scoffed, "To nourish the body? The ginseng in your hand is so big, it must weigh at least two ounces, right? It costs several hundred yuan, you're willing to let your wife eat it?"

"What, you still hold a grudge against us?"

"I'll give you a free lesson today: business is business, and personal relationships are personal relationships. You can't mix personal grudges into business."

Ye Shuping lectured Lin Fan in the manner of an elder.

She didn't believe Lin Fan would be willing to spend several hundred yuan on supplements to nourish his wife's body.

How dare the peasants of the Lin family use such expensive things?

Their whole family can only earn a few dollars a day together.

Is Lin Fan willing to spend hundreds of yuan on wild ginseng for that country girl?

I guess they still resent them and can't bring themselves to do it, so they'd rather find a way to sell to someone else than bow down to them.

Lin Fan glanced at Ye Shuping, too lazy to pay her any more attention.

He wouldn't explain, nor did he need to. As he said, they were now just strangers, and whatever he did was none of their business.

Seeing that Lin Fan didn't speak, Ye Shuping thought she had touched Lin Fan's pitiful pride.

Just as he was about to speak again, he saw the female doctor who had left the door return.

Holding a stack of brand-new bills, she smiled and handed it to Lin Fan, saying, "Count it, it's a total of 1,340 yuan, not a penny less."

Lin Fan casually counted the money, put it in his pocket, and then expressed his gratitude to the female doctor: "Doctor, thank you!"

The female doctor waved her hand: "No need to thank me. Your ginseng is of such good quality. If you sold it in a pharmacy, it might fetch an even higher price. I should be thanking you!"

"By the way, given your wife's health condition, she shouldn't eat too much ginseng every day. Just cut a small piece, combine it with red dates, goji berries, angelica, and other herbs that nourish qi and blood, and boil it into a soup. I'll write you a prescription later."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuping and Ye Fuhai, who were standing nearby, were stunned!

This ginseng... was it really for his wife?

But...how is this possible?

Such expensive medicinal herbs are nothing to a wealthy family like the Ye family!

The combined daily income of the Lin family, those rural peasants, might be less than ten yuan.

How could they dare keep these wild ginsengs worth several hundred yuan for themselves? Shouldn't they sell them and make some money to improve their lives?

The thought of how much Lin Fan doted on his wife, even giving her ginseng worth hundreds of yuan to nourish her body, made the couple's expressions extremely complicated.
