Chapter 439 - 373 Kneeling with a Thud
Rong Yan was silent. Two thousand... indeed, it was necessary.
She had some concerns.
And the married couple, Shi Li, were no longer speaking, but their expressions were extremely tense.
They were deeply afraid that Rong Yan would refuse.
"In that case, you use the medicine from the hospital first, and we’ll talk again in six months because my herbs are specially cultivated," she offered an excuse.
She didn’t want the previous good she had done to end up being a bad thing.
It would be better to have charged from the start.
After all, the medicines provided by the hospital really could be used, and taking them routinely each day was quite beneficial for the body’s recovery.
Her medicine from the "space" was too noticeable; what if... more people came looking for her?
She couldn’t guarantee the "space" would always exist... who could tell what might happen in the future?
Seeing this, Shi Li and his wife had no other choice, after all she had spoken clearly.
And the herbs might indeed be very scarce.
Shi Li was the first to recover, "Okay! Thank you!"
"It’s okay! Rest assured, the medicine prescribed to Shi Zhen by the hospital is pretty good."
No way is it as good as yours... but the couple wisely did not voice that thought.
"Comrade Rong Yan, we won’t disturb you any longer, we’ll head back today."
"Okay," Rong Yan didn’t bother with the courtesy of inviting them to stay for a meal.
They wouldn’t have stayed anyway, so it was better not to mention it.
"Take care on your way home."
"We’ll leave you to it, no need to see us out!" Li Shu waved at Rong Yan.
When they reached the yard, she said to Madam Rong, "Elder sister, we’re leaving."
Madam Rong hastily urged them to stay, "Have dinner with us!"
Li Shu smiled and shook her head, "No, elder sister, we’ll visit some other time."
Madam Rong made a few more pleasantries, and then she suddenly remembered something, "Wait a moment."
She then turned and picked some vegetables from the small vegetable patch and stuffed them all into a nearby net bag, then picked a watermelon.
"These are all grown at home, take them and taste."
Li Shu felt uneasy to accept such a gift and quickly waved her hands to refuse, "Elder sister, we can’t take this..."
Rong Yan spoke up at this point, "Take it! These fruits and vegetables are very good, they can be for Shi Zhen to eat."
Hearing this, Li Shu reluctantly accepted.
"Thank you, elder sister!"
Madam Rong: "No need to be polite... these are all from our own garden."
The couple left with a bunch of gifts, and they were truly happy to go home with these fruits and vegetables.
The most important part was when the couple ate the watermelon... they truly felt it was especially delicious.
Madam Rong and Rong Yan watched the couple ride away on their bicycle.
Luckily, they took a different path.
As for the entrance to the alley.
"...how did it turn into a fight?"
Madam Rong didn’t expect that the commotion had been going on for so long without any sign of stopping.
Rong Yan squinted her eyes. She had good eyesight, so she could still see... the woman being pulled to the ground and beaten appeared to be Sun Feng.
And the person beating Sun Feng was... Mother Li?
Most importantly, the one protecting Sun Feng seemed to be Li Juan’s elder brother, Li Shi?
What was going on there? It felt like it had turned into a mess.
But no matter how chaotic... it was none of her business.
"Mom, stop looking. Weren’t you bathing Xiaohei?"
Reminded by this, Madam Rong redirected her gaze, and she gave her daughter a sideways look, "Still bathing him? How much time has passed? I finished a long time ago."
Rong Yan: ...
Sorry to disturb you! She really hadn’t noticed.
"Alright, get inside; we’re closing the door." Madam Rong wasn’t very interested in whatever was going on over there.
She casually shut the door,
Rong Yan, returning to the yard, glanced at Xiaohei. After a thorough wash, its fur... was pretty shiny, tempting her to reach out and touch it a few times.
"I’m going to cook now."
"Mom, there’s no rush for cooking; go check out that pile of stuff. Take what we can eat and set aside what we can’t."
Rong Yan wasn’t very interested in what had been sent.
Hearing her daughter’s words, Madam Rong promptly nodded. "Okay, I’ll sort it out first."
She went to the main room and took out all the gifts on the Eight Immortals table.
"So much! These are tea leaves, and there’s alcohol too..."
Rong Yan glanced over and saw that it was indeed a lot. It seemed like they had considered every member of the family.
"...Yanyan, look at this, why is there a jade bracelet?"
Upon hearing her mother’s exclamation, Rong Yan, who was about to leave, immediately looked over.
Seeing the quality of this jade, she was somewhat surprised...
She immediately took the bracelet in her hand and looked at it carefully. It was crystal clear, almost reaching the full green grade.
This was an ’ice type’ jadeite bracelet.
"This looks very expensive; how could they just leave this jade bracelet here? If we hadn’t noticed it just now, it could have been smashed."
Madam Rong shuddered at the thought.
The bracelet was only wrapped in a handkerchief.
"Let’s keep it for now; I’ll return it later." Rong Yan didn’t want to accept it.
If this bracelet were in the future, it would probably be worth millions.
"Okay, I’ll wrap it up for you right now." Madam Rong wasn’t shallow enough to grab every good thing for herself.
She let her daughter make all the decisions.
She didn’t get involved.
After all, she didn’t understand these things.
She picked up the handkerchief she had just unwrapped and packed it back up.
"Here, take this; be careful not to drop it."
Rong Yan took it back and saw the simple wrapping, her mouth twitched.
They were too careless with the bracelet; they could have at least put it in a box.
"Then I’ll go to my room."
Returning things should be done sooner rather than later... she planned to go out around four in the afternoon when the sun wasn’t too intense.
"Okay, go to your room. I’ll start cooking. Your father has to go back to work this afternoon! By the way, how come he hasn’t returned from the police station yet?"
"I don’t know; he should be back soon."
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Just as she finished speaking, her father returned, but there was a person following him.
When Rong Yan saw this person, her brows furrowed.
Her expression turned slightly displeased, "Li Juan, why have you come to my house?"
What’s the deal with these people? Don’t they understand the saying ’dead men tell no tales’?
Madam Rong wasn’t very fond of this girl either.
She felt that her mind worked differently than others.
And what’s with the red eyes? If people didn’t know better, they would think they had mistreated her.
Thinking that this person had come in following Rong Wenming, she gave Rong Wenming a sideways glance.
Rong Wenming: ...
Why the glare at him?
Right at that moment, Li Juan suddenly knelt down before Rong Yan.
This sudden act startled both Rong Yan and her mother.
