My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

After noon, Yang Fenglan began to prepare dinner.

Just as they lifted the steamed rice out of the pot, Shen Yu returned.

"You're back. You're not going out anymore, are you? I'll cook the food soon and we can eat together," Yang Fenglan greeted with a smile.

"I'm not going out." Shen Yu placed the basket by the kitchen door; it was full.

Yang Fenglan had never seen Shen Yu buy so many things before, and guessed that she must have gone to sell Ganoderma lucidum.

Shen Yu took out a pile of medicine, ten doses, enough to last a month.

Even the cheapest combination would cost six or seven hundred coins.

Shen Yu said, "I bought medicine for Jingyi. It's all good medicine. The doctor said it will help him recover quickly. It costs 120 yuan per dose."

Yang Fenglan's eyes widened immediately; she had guessed too little.

Shen Yu pursed her lips and looked at her. Buying so many things all of a sudden would definitely lead to some questioning, and she had already thought of an excuse.

If you ask, just say she went to Nanshan to collect dendrobium and sold it for some money.

After waiting for a while, I still didn't hear any questions asked.

Yang Fenglan smiled as she took the medicine and put it in the cupboard. "Xiaoyu, you're so thoughtful. If Jingyi knew you specially bought so much medicine for him, he would be very happy."

Shen Yu was taken aback. And then? That's it?

Yang Fenglan turned around to wash the pot, saying, "Go and rest for a while. I'll pick out a few pieces of pork cracklings and cook the leftover wild vegetables so we can have a meal."

Shen Yu leaned against the door, looking at Yang Fenglan with a puzzled expression.

Before, she would be nagged even if she bought a piece of cloth, but today she spent so much money at once and didn't ask any questions.

It's probably because the medicine is for her son.

Shen Yu chuckled self-deprecatingly, then turned and took out a pair of exquisitely crafted embroidered shoes from her basket.

He deliberately said, "I also bought myself a pair of shoes, which cost fifty coins."

Yang Fenglan poured water into the pot, wiped her hands, and carefully examined the shoes in Shen Yu's hands. "You can buy such good shoes for fifty coins? They're really nice, very beautiful, and they suit you well."

Shen Yu: ? ?

She then took out a small box of rouge. "Rouge, one hundred coins."

"A young lady should dress herself up nicely. By the way, did you buy any hairpins?"

Shen Yu was stunned.

She spent so much money, why didn't anyone say anything to her? Why didn't anyone ask her where the money came from?

“Your hairpins are all old. I wanted to buy you a new one when I went to the market last time, but I didn’t have any extra money in my pocket. So I thought I’d sell the rest of the honeysuckle and then buy you a new one.”

Yang Fenglan smiled sincerely, without any sarcasm or deliberate attempt to probe.

That's a perfectly normal way of speaking.

Shen Yu pursed her lips, completely baffled by this person, "Um, aren't you curious..."

"What's there to be curious about? Everyone has their own privacy and space. If I have to ask about everything, how can we all get along comfortably?"

"Go and rest. Just boil the water and cook the vegetables." Yang Fenglan said as she shooed Shen Yu away.

Shen Yu hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back and confessed.

"The day you had a fever, I went to Nanshan and found a few Ganoderma lucidum plants, which I sold for a few taels of silver."

"Wow! There really are Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain? Xiaoyu, you're so lucky, you're a lucky star!" Yang Fenglan praised, but inwardly she was jealous.

Why did she keep that evil thing, causing her to have a high fever and become unconscious? Otherwise, she would have gotten a share of the Ganoderma lucidum too.

ah~

"I also bought some meat. Let's stew it today." Shen Yu took out a very good piece of pork belly from his basket. In addition to the meat, there were also about twenty eggs.

"Alright, alright, I never thought that in my lifetime, Jingyi and I would be able to share in your good fortune. It's like celebrating the New Year early."

"You must be tired carrying all this back. Go and rest." Yang Fenglan took the meat, cut it in half, rinsed it with water, and then threw it directly into the pot.
