When Shen Hanyang entered the room, Li Yuanzhao teased her, "This time people are saying you're his girlfriend, why aren't you refuting it?"

"Didn't I tell my family and my parents agreed?" Shen Hanyang's tone was light.

Pan Bo's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.

Dong Mingming witnessed this scene again. Shen Hanyang had just smiled so sweetly too. Listen to their light and cheerful voices; why were they all so happy?

Why should I be the only one whose life is so hard? Why should I be the only one suffering?

Dong Mingming was filled with hatred; she hated everyone.

Dong Mingming never imagined that she had brought this situation upon herself.

Dong Mingming had to go and water all the seedlings.

She hadn't finished her work yet, but she started working again in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, she was the slowest one again.

When she finished work, she had four work points for the day, even though she had done eight work points' worth of work. She lost four work points because she cut off some seedlings. She also lost twenty work points for farm tools.

She was sixteen work points behind that day.

Dong Mingming regretted it, because that one sentence had made her life so difficult.

She's having her work points deducted every day now. Will she still be able to receive her grain rations by the end of the year?

Dong Mingming tried her best to minimize her presence, but she still got hit by clods of dirt every now and then. Ouch!

Walking with a group of women, you never know when you might get pushed and fall...

Old Liao felt somewhat guilty, blaming Song Yan for causing all this trouble.

Song Yan also wanted to teach her a lesson, but it was already bad enough that he didn't have to do it himself.

Does that mean Song Yan would let her off so easily? Song Yan thought no. Unless she learned her lesson and stayed far away from him in the future. Would Dong Mingming do that? Definitely not. Let others vent their anger first, then he'll take action!

Song Yan prescribed a formula for Lao Liao and asked Lao Han to take a look. It was based on the formula for Ginseng Nourishing Pills, with some modifications.

Old Han praised it, saying it was good. But the ginseng inside is the most important ingredient. To get the best effect, you need to use aged ginseng, which won't be cheap.

Old Han stared at the words "ginseng" for a long time. Finally, he sighed.

Song Yan comforted him, saying, "With me here, this is nothing."

Song Yan plans to avoid visiting Boss Qin's place for the time being. However, he needs the medicinal herbs ground into a fine powder, but he doesn't have a medicine grinder. He'd like to ask Boss Qin to find him a medicine grinder instead.

I'll definitely go see Han Yu when I get to the county town.

Han Yu's mother couldn't stop smiling when she saw Song Yan. Han Yu wasn't vomiting as much anymore, and could eat some soupy dishes; her complexion had improved. Especially with the pickled wild vegetables Song Yan brought, Han Yu said they were delicious!

Thank goodness.

Director Liu was naturally extremely grateful.

He could tell that she was happy to leave Song Yan some good stuff from the supply and marketing cooperative, as well as things that didn't require coupons.

What he said about what to do and what to eat was absolutely right. Even though it's a rare item requiring tickets, with Director Liu around, he could reserve it for Song Yan first. He could just get him the tickets himself; it would be very convenient.

If you want to thank someone, you should give them what they need.

Song Yan didn't refuse this.

Director Liu never questioned why Song Yan didn't care about spending money at all; as long as the product was good, she didn't care about the price.

Who among those working at the supply and marketing cooperative hasn't benefited from such deals? They don't even need to go out and resell; their relatives and friends all come knocking, wanting to buy things. And these things aren't bought for free.

Presumably, Song Yan has connections to get these things out of the country.

The grass has grown tall now, and Song Yan has started cutting grass for the cows. The person most envious is Dong Mingming. Her life is still so difficult. Yesterday, she was cornered by Cheng Sansao and beaten up again.

Song Yan stood by and watched the commotion.

Actually, Song Yan wasn't just watching the show; she felt it was a pity that she didn't have a chance to get involved.
