Yunbei looked at Si Nanzhao with some surprise. She didn't expect that he knew that she had gone to the black market.

"Okay, I understand." Yun Bei agreed, but she had to go to the black market. Otherwise, where would her money come from? She couldn't just leave the things in the space there forever.

Si Nanzhao saw Yunbei agreed and smiled. He had been to the black market before and it wasn't a good place. Although Yunbei was quite skilled, he was still worried.

The next day, Yunbei went to Section Chief Liu's house early in the morning and told Old Lady Zhang about going up the mountain, which made her very happy.

She had been waiting to go up the mountain with Yunbei for a long time, and she had thought she would have to wait a while, but she didn't expect to be able to go today. This was really great, the sooner she went to the mountain, the sooner she could earn money.

Although her family doesn't need her to eat, the feeling of asking others for money is different from having money to pay for it at any time.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhang sped up her cooking and went straight to Yunbei's home after dinner.

Seeing that the vegetable seedlings in her home were growing well, she immediately praised: "Oh, your vegetables are growing well. It's obvious that you have watered them every day."

Yunbei smiled. This was all thanks to Si Nanzhao.

She came back late every day, so Si Nanzhao was the one who did the watering.

Yunbei packed up his things and called out to the house again, "Nan Zhao, let's go."

It was not until here that Mrs. Zhang realized that Si Nanzhao was going with them. Thinking that Yunbei and Si Nanzhao had just been together for a short time, she immediately winked at Yunbei, as if to say, "I've been there before, I understand."

Yunbei was a little amused and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't explain that they were just partners at the moment.

The three of them went up the mountain together and met many military wives on the way. They looked at Yunbei with a sense of distance and fear.

Because they found that anyone who had opposed Yunbei had left the family compound. Liu Pozi was sent back to her hometown by her son, while Chu Feifei was said to have been taken away.

Not only was she taken away, but her parents were also taken away. Mrs. Chu used to act superior to everyone, but now she is too embarrassed to even leave the house. She hides away faster than anyone else when she sees everyone.

Such a change made them both afraid and terrified of Yunbei, fearing that they would accidentally offend Yunbei and be forced to leave the family compound, and also implicate their men.

Yunbei felt their distance from her, so she naturally wouldn't bother to show her affection. She said hello to Old Lady Zhang and the other military wives, then quickened her pace and walked to the front.

Old Mrs. Zhang stayed in the family compound all day, so she naturally knew what had happened and was also aware of the change in everyone's attitude towards Yunbei.

However, she was afraid that Yunbei might have some grievances, so she smiled and advised, "Yunbei, we just need to do our best. As for other people's gossip, just pretend you didn't hear it."

"Don't worry, Aunt Zhang, I'm not that fragile." Yunbei smiled and was very grateful to Aunt Zhang for taking the trouble to comfort her.

Although she wanted to have good relationships with the military wives in the compound, she would not force them if they were unwilling.

As for the matter between Chu Feifei and Liu Pozi, she believed she had done nothing wrong. If she hadn't taken action, they would have eaten her to pieces.

Si Nanzhao was initially a little worried about Yunbei, fearing she wouldn't be able to accept the change in attitudes among the military wives. Seeing that she didn't take it to heart, he felt slightly relieved, yet still a little worried.

He was worried that he couldn't keep Yunbei, and worried that she would really pack up and leave when the time came. He even thought about whether he should act first and report the marriage later, then wait for the approval from the higher-ups before telling Yunbei directly.

He was wondering if this would mean Yunbei wouldn't be able to leave even if he wanted to?

But he didn't want to force Yunbei, for fear of causing her to rebel and being angry that he would never have another chance.

Yunbei had no idea what Si Nanzhao was thinking. When he saw some herbs along the way, he patiently and carefully explained them to Mrs. Zhang.

One old and one young, one listening and the other talking, they get along very harmoniously.

However, after the three of them walked to the front, the military wives all started talking.

Everyone felt that Yunbei was too cruel. Not to mention that Liu Pozi was forced to return to her hometown, what she did was indeed a bit excessive.

But Chu Feifei is different. They didn’t seem to see her do anything excessive, so why was she taken away?

They even overturned their previous statements about Chu Feifei's disfigured face, thinking that it was most likely Yun Bei's fault.

Yunbei was oblivious to the discussions behind her. She and Old Lady Zhang chatted as they headed toward the mountain. Before they knew it, they had arrived.

Old Lady Zhang pointed to a hilltop and said to Yunbei with a proud look on her face, "See? That's the hill. There are so many medicinal herbs there."

After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Yunbei would not believe her, so she added: "Don't look at me because I don't know the names of those herbs, but I know they are medicinal herbs."

"It's okay, we'll go check it out later. I'll teach you if you don't know."

"I've been waiting for you to say that." Old Lady Zhang was very happy and took Yunbei to pick herbs. As for Si Nanzhao, no one paid any attention to him.

Looking at the old man and the young woman who had left him behind and walked away, Si Nanzhao couldn't help but shake his head. He suddenly realized that Yunbei seemed to have a good personality and could actually get along well with the old lady.

He had heard from Old Liu more than once that the old lady and her daughter-in-law had a lot of friction, and it was very difficult for him to be in the middle.

Now, seeing the two of them getting along so well, he was thinking that if he married a girl like Yunbei, would there be no conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

Si Nanzhao thought as he separated from Yunbei and the others. He had been to this mountain several times and knew where there were more prey.

His task today was to improve Yunbei's food so that she wouldn't have to go to the black market.

When Yunbei and Old Lady Zhang arrived at the mountain and saw the vast expanse of medicinal herbs, they immediately became delighted and said to Old Lady Zhang, "Auntie, you are amazing! There are indeed a lot of medicinal herbs on this mountain, and they can all be sold for money."

"Really? That's great." Old Mrs. Zhang was also very happy. She wanted to pick these herbs immediately and sell them to the purchasing station.

As Yunbei picked herbs, he explained the names and effects of the herbs to Mrs. Zhang, who listened attentively without getting bored.

When the two of them were tired of picking and sat down to rest, they remembered that someone seemed to be missing.

Thinking that they actually threw Si Nanzhao aside, they couldn't help but smile at each other.

Afterwards, Mrs. Zhang said to Yunbei a little embarrassedly, "This is all my fault. I was so focused on dragging you here that I forgot about Xiao Si."
