Qian Jinyun was almost furious. She quickly gathered the remains one by one and gave each of them a flick on the head.

"You bunch of idiots! You're all useless and good for nothing!"

The men, realizing they were in the wrong, lowered their heads and eyes, offering no rebuttal.

Another walk.

“Young master, do you think we can find any herbs?” one of them asked.

"Of course you can, what do you think?" Qian Jinyun looked at him as if she wanted to kill him.

"No, no, no! I just think that Dr. Xiao might be playing a trick on us. She's a doctor, she can get any medicine she wants. This is the first time I've ever seen someone make a patient go and collect herbs himself."

Qian Jinyun stopped, supporting herself on her legs with her hands, a little out of breath, her legs feeling like they weren't her own anymore, so she simply sat down on the ground.

His earnest, thoughtful expression made it seem as if he had truly taken the words to heart.

Immediately afterward, he asked the subordinate from before, "Are you saying that Doctor Xiao is playing a trick on me?"

The subordinate shuddered and nodded vigorously: "I think she's retaliating for what you did to her in the street earlier."

"Really?" Qian Jinyun asked, half believing and half doubting.

The subordinate, thinking his young master had taken his words to heart, said confidently, "Yes, women, no matter their age, are the most likely to hold grudges. They can remember things from the past for a lifetime! This Doctor Xiao is also a woman. Who knows, she might be taking revenge on you."

Qian Jinyun frowned deeply, pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and kicked the man in the butt.

"I told you to talk nonsense! I told you to talk nonsense!"

Finally, he stared at his subordinates and began to lecture them in a serious and methodical manner:

"From now on, anyone who shows any disrespect to Doctor Xiao will no longer be working for me. Find another job! Do you understand? This is a one-time exception!"

These kids are getting more and more outrageous!

How could you say such a thing about Doctor Xiao?

She's my sister's friend, and she's also very familiar with... and "her," so I absolutely can't afford to offend her.

Several people nodded vigorously, praising the idea immediately.

This approach, naturally, also ended in failure.

Qian Jinyun pieced together several sheets of paper and placed them on the ground to examine them closely, but she just couldn't find them.

"Young master, it's not a good idea for us to climb such a long mountain every day. What do you think, sir? Why don't we find a place to stay on the mountain and come here every day?"

Qian Jinyun's furrowed brows instantly smoothed out by those words, and her eyes lit up. What a great idea!

It seems that not all of these people are blockheads.

So, for the next few days, he and a few others stayed at the top of Biluo Peak.

……

Zhao Chunxiu once again made a trek to Shanxie Village in the dark, and this time, she finally brought back good news.

When she got home, she first talked to Li Shanhai.

When Li Shanhai heard that the other party had agreed, a huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.

Once the daughter gets married and leaves, people will gradually and naturally forget about it.

Then, he, as the village chief, can hold his head high again.

"Did they say when it will be finalized?" Li Shanhai asked, taking a drag of his cigarette, a little uneasy.

Zhao Chunxiu replied quietly, "My sister said it's fine anytime."

With this assurance, Li Shanhai put down his pipe and could finally get a good night's sleep: "Then the sooner the better, I'll send it to her before dark tomorrow."

Seeing his impatient look, Zhao Chunxiu felt a pang of sadness.

What is the purpose of a woman's life?

The next morning, Zhao Chunxiu hurriedly called her daughter over.

“Yuemei, I have an idea. You should stay at your aunt’s house in the neighboring Shanxie Village for a while, and come back when things have calmed down.”

"Mom, I'm not going!" Li Yuemei thought of her aunt's sharp and mean manner and her uncle's disgusting eyes, and she resisted the idea from the bottom of her heart.

Upon hearing Li Yuemei's refusal, Zhao Chunxiu's anger flared up: "You shameless hussy, you think you can just refuse to go like that? Mother has already spoken to them. Besides, is there any place for you in the village these days? Do you want to listen to the gossip of those long-tongued women every day?"

Li Yuemei was instantly defeated when she thought of the harsh and hurtful words those people had said.

He had no choice but to nod and compromise, saying, "Mother, I'll go."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chunxiu almost burst into tears. She didn't know if it was for herself or for her daughter. She knew that her daughter's life wouldn't be easy after marriage, but she could just endure it. Wasn't that how everyone got through each day?

In days without hope, you can only live one day at a time.
