Chapter 14: Winning People's Hearts and Arousing Jealousy

Lu Xiao took the medicine bag and smelled it again, and felt that the smell of the medicine bag was really good.

It makes people feel that their noses are unblocked and the air is fresher.

Seeing Lu Xiao sniffing like a big dog, Su Tang smiled and nodded.

"I want to use these medicine packs to exchange with everyone in the family compound."

"I can also help build a closer relationship with you. That way, if Hu Lili bullies me again in the future, there will be someone to help me, right?"

Lu Xiao thought Su Tang’s idea was good, but there were some things he couldn’t help her with.

Since everyone has opinions about Su Tang, Su Tang can only find ways to get closer to them.

Besides, Lu Xiao felt that what she made was exactly what everyone needed.

It will surely impress everyone.

The next day, Su Tang took the prepared medicine packages and began to visit every household in the family compound.

She first went to Aunt Wang's house. Aunt Wang was an elderly person living in the family compound. She was warm and friendly to Su Tang.

Aunt Wang's husband died in the war, and she has no one to live with in her hometown. Her son is also in the northwest, so she stays in the family compound.

It is worth mentioning that Aunt Wang is also from Shanghai and is a fellow villager of Su Tang.

"Hello, Aunt Wang, I'm Su Tang, Lu Xiao's wife."

Su Tang introduced himself with a smile and handed over the medicine bag in his hand.

"I made some medicine packs, for soothing the throat and skin. Would you like to try them?"

Aunt Wang looked at Su Tang, reached out to take the medicine bag, smelled it, and a smile appeared on her face.

"This smell is exactly the same as the one I smelled in Shanghai before."

"My throat hurts every winter, and I need this. Thank you so much."

Aunt Wang was quite accepting, which made Su Tang feel relieved.

It’s good enough that I didn’t get rejected.

"You're welcome, Aunt Wang. If you think it's useful, just tell everyone. I'd like to exchange it for some things, like cloth, food, or something."

Aunt Wang nodded and looked Su Tang up and down: "I will tell everyone, but you have to be mentally prepared."

Su Tang understood what Aunt Wang said. Not everyone is like Aunt Wang.

So she couldn't have any good expectations.

Su Tang nodded, thanked Aunt Wang, and went to Sister Li's house next door.

Sister Li is a rather picky person and somewhat hostile towards Su Tang. She has a good relationship with Hu Lili.

If we can capture Sister Li, Hu Lili will have one less helper.

"Hello, Sister Li, I'm Su Tang."

Su Tang smiled and handed over the medicine bag: "This is the medicine bag I made, would you like to try it?"

Sister Li glanced at it with disdain and didn't even reach out to take the medicine bag: "Medicine bag? Who knows if it will work? Don't tell me it's a scam."

Su Tang didn't get angry, but patiently explained: "Sister Li, these medicine bags are made of Chinese medicinal herbs, which are good for your throat and skin."

"If you're worried, you can try it first. If you think it's useless, return it to me."

After saying this, Su Tang added: "Your face has been dried out by the wind. If this continues, your face will be ruined."

She spoke seriously. Sister Li hesitated for a moment, but still took the medicine bag.

"Okay, I'll try."

Su Tang knew that someone like Sister Li needed to be impressed by actual results.

However, Su Tang was confident in his own things, and the medicinal herbs at this time were very effective.

You will see the results within a few days.

Next, she visited several more families. Some were enthusiastic, some were cold, but Su Tang treated them all patiently.

I walked around the family compound and got to know everyone.

There are only a few medicine bags left that I made with Zhang Cui yesterday.

When Su Tang returned home and just sat down, he saw Hu Lili coming over with a few women.

Her heart tightened, knowing that trouble was coming.

This Hu Lili, she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't find trouble every day, right?

"Su Tang, what kind of medicine bag did you make? How dare you use it to deceive people?"

Hu Lili shouted, "You think you're a doctor? You just randomly make some herbs and give them to people. If something goes wrong, can you take responsibility?"

Several women nearby also echoed: "Exactly, what if it's poisonous?"

Su Tang looked at Hu Lili and sneered in her heart. She had long expected that Hu Lili would cause trouble.

She said calmly, "Hu Lili, if you think there's something wrong with my medicine bag, you can take it to a doctor for examination. If there really is a problem, I'm willing to take full responsibility."

“But what if it’s okay?”

Hu Lili didn't expect Su Tang to be so tough and was speechless for a moment.

She glared at Su Tang and said, "Okay, I'll take it to the doctor for a checkup now. If there's any problem, you'll see!"

Su Tang doesn't care about Hu Lili at all.

She went to see a doctor and got herself some free advertising.

Hu Lili didn't come again in the next two days. Su Tang divided the remaining herbs and made a few medicine bags, asking Lu Xiao to take them to his friends.

Lu Xiao looked at the medicine bag made by Su Tang and felt a little unhappy.

I thought this thing was unique to him.

That day, Zhang Cui came over. As soon as she entered the room, she laughed for a while before she spoke: "Hu Lili has really fallen flat on her face this time."

Hearing this, Su Tang poured her a glass of water: "What's wrong?"

"Sister, you don't know. Hu Lili took the medicine package we made to see Doctor Zhang yesterday."

"Doctor Zhang said that the contents of the medicine package are all good things that you can't buy outside. He also said that the combination is very good and it can be seen that a lot of thought was put into it."

After saying this, Zhang Cui gulped down a sip of water and said, "You don't know, when Hu Lili heard this, her face was twisted with anger."

I originally wanted to let everyone know that Su Tang had given everyone something bad, but I never expected that I would end up shooting myself in the foot.

"You've lost more than you gained. I think Hu Lili will have to stay quiet for a few days this time."

As the two were talking, they heard footsteps outside.

Sister Li came to see Su Tang with a moist face.

"Girl, do you still have that moisturizing medicine bag?"

Sister Li twisted the cloth coupons between her fingers, and her embarrassment was evident in the fine lines at the corners of her eyes.

She didn't expect this thing to be so useful. According to Su Tang's teachings, she would take out the medicinal herbs inside and soak them when washing her face every day, and then apply it on the face. The effect was so good.

When I went to the service station yesterday, the salesperson said she looked like a young bride who had just moved to the city.

Sister Li is old, but she has never heard this before.

Behind her followed three or four women holding children, each with a crooked cloth bag in their arms, from which a corner of indigo cloth and a handful of grains could be seen.

Su Tang was drying freshly picked mint in the corner of the yard. The leaves in the bamboo basket were emitting a refreshing fragrance due to the sun.

"Yes, but you have to exchange something for it. It's a barter."

She deliberately put on a stern face, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Aunt Wang behind Sister Li winking at her.

Su Tang's courtyard was as lively as a market. Hu Lili looked at this scene and wished she could bite her teeth.

Su Tang Su Tang, it’s Su Tang again.

Ever since she came here, Brother Lu Xiao has never looked at her directly again.

Now, she has won people's hearts and made everyone in the family compound agree with her.

"I won't let you go!"
