Ruan Geng and Zeng Lianggu were displeased. "This punishment is too harsh. Babu already made Mengmeng reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors. What more do you want?"

"Too harsh? Didn't you say there was no difference between this punishment and no punishment at all?"

She laughed, "So, the severity of punishment depends on the person?"

She suddenly raised her voice, "According to the minister, there are two 'thieves,' so this Miss Meng Wanwan wants to be prettier and accompany your companion..."

"Let's never leave the tribe."

Minister Toronto asked, "Mengmeng, Wanwan, do you know what you did wrong?"

Ba Mengmeng's eyes were filled with resentment.

Meng Wanwan bit her lip and nodded.

Minister Dorenda waved his hand, "Let's do as Ansu says."

"Babu, take them both downstairs."

"yes."

"Mr. Ruan and Mr. Zeng, please stay."

Ruan Geng and Zeng Lianggu were kept behind.

Hua Ansu was pulled away by the minister's wife.

"I don't care how dissatisfied you two are with tonight's conclusion, but first I want you to understand that it's Mengmeng and Wanwan who did wrong. As for Ansu, she is a victim, and more importantly, she is the hope for the future of the tribe. I don't want to see anyone targeting her because of her identity..."

"Minister, how can she be the tribe's future hope?"

"Because of her, a Grade 3 armor was created!"

The two elders were completely stunned. Rank 3? It wasn't just Rank 2?

“She is a good child just like A-I-Gu, and I don’t want her to be ostracized like A-I-Gu.”

Minister Dorenda's words carried a warning tone.

"In a few days, I will announce Ansu as the vice minister!"

Hua Ansu was led to the minister's wife's bedroom, where the minister's wife had prepared a full array of items for her on the counter.

“Ansu, this is a cotton-padded coat, worn close to the skin. Take it with you, it gets cold at night in those places.”

"These are some wound medicines. The usage and dosage are written down, so you can use them with confidence."

"Here are some dry rations. The dried fruit was brought by A-Yi-Gu before. You can take it with you to eat on the road."

"Oh, by the way, I made you a pair of shoes. Try them on and see if they fit."

"..."

Hua Ansu watched her busy figure, "Grandma..."

"Oh, look at my senile old self, I almost forgot about the water pouch. You must take it with you. I'll fill it with hot water for you tomorrow, so you can drink it anytime and keep it warm."

Everything the minister's wife had prepared was very practical. Hua Ansu told her not to bother with anything else, "Grandma, I have something for you."

"I was busy when I got back the other day, so I didn't have time to give it to you."

“These are medicinal plants I dug up. Aren’t you a doctor? You’ll probably find them useful.”

Hua Ansu took out a large bag of seeds. The minister's wife said, "This is..."

"I don't know much about agriculture. Could you take a look and see if this looks a lot like Artemisia argyi?"

She said, "This is not poisonous. It tastes quite good after being roasted. A little guy I know likes to eat it. He's a picky eater, so I wanted to ask you to take a look at it. If it's edible, I'll see if I can grow it on a large scale when I come back."

The next morning.

At the city gate.

The entire battalion under Deputy Commander Hua was fully prepared to depart, each carrying large and small bags, including Hua Ansu himself.

She had a slight headache. If the energy source hadn't been sealed off and the storage ring hadn't been locked, she wouldn't have needed to move house like this.

However, most of her belongings were taken by Babu. She glared at him and said, "If I get separated from you, won't I starve to death?"

After a moment's thought, Babu said, "I will hand the things over to the battalion commander as soon as possible."

Hua Ansu, "..."
