Su Nanxi indeed had the most pancakes on her plate, because she was so engrossed in her thoughts that her hands and mouth became sluggish, and she took a long time to chew each pancake. While others were eating heartily, she had the most pancakes by comparison.

What are you thinking? She hasn't even really eaten yet! How can she not eat anymore?

I can't be bothered with it!

I worked so hard to make these pancakes, I should enjoy them!

Take your time and savor it, what's the rush!

Su Nanxi wasn't in a hurry, but Mo Yunmei was frantic. She was really hungry, but she didn't dare to snatch anything.

Finally, feeling anxious and hungry, she sat on the ground and started crying, feeling extremely wronged, and the more she cried, the louder she became.

Some people heard about it and came to see. They saw the scene in the yard through the fence and started talking about it without knowing what was going on.

"I say you've gone a bit too far! Why didn't you give that child some food? You're all just thinking about yourselves, that's not good! Look how sad he is crying. Even if he makes a mistake, he should eat his fill before being punished!"

Mo Laoda ate quickly, finishing a pancake in two bites each. Hearing that someone was speaking up for him, he also spoke up.

"You're mistaken. She was already full; she's crying because she's too full. Do you have any digestive medicine? Get her some; she's feeling really uncomfortable from being so full!"

The man could only move his lips; upon hearing that someone was going to ask him for something, he refused, left a comment, and departed.

The person said, "Oh, just cry it out a bit more and you'll feel better."

Mo Yunmei thought that someone had stood up for her and she would finally get to eat the pancakes, but she was dismissed after just a few words. Despairing, she cried even harder.

Waaah, when did she get full? She's stuffed? She's clearly starving!

But nobody paid any attention to her.

After everyone else finished eating and cleaned up, they went about their own business.

Without Mo Qinghe as a mouthpiece, it's really inconvenient; it's difficult to communicate with people on many occasions.

Su Nanxi gestured for a long time before Qin Shi understood that she wanted to go to town.

No one objected, and Grandma Mo readily agreed, saying she would accompany her tomorrow.

As long as I can go, it doesn't matter who goes with me.

Actually, she wanted to say that she went alone, but then she thought better of it. She couldn't communicate with her, and it would be too much of a hassle. If she insisted too much, people might suspect she was trying to run away or something.

It doesn't matter if a few more people go.

Actually, Grandma Mo was worried that she wouldn't be able to speak, which would cause her a lot of inconvenience. She was also afraid that she might encounter danger, be all alone, and be unable to call for help.

Su Nanxi could see Old Madam Mo's worry and concern, so she nodded in agreement.

The next day, after breakfast, Old Lady Mo said to Su Nanxi, "Mute Mother, wait a moment, let me change my clothes and get ready, then I'll go with you."

Grandma Mo pulled Grandpa Mo over, "Hurry up, stop dawdling, go and tidy up."

"Hey! Just one more bite! Let's go after we finish this!"

"Pick it up and eat it while you go."

Su Nanxi smiled; the two old people were quite adorable.

The three of them took an oxcart to town, following the usual practice of going with Su Nanxi.

Going to the market is a strange thing. You might run into all those distant relatives you rarely see, like aunts and uncles, on the street because of the market.

Before we'd even started exploring, we ran into Old Lady Mo's relatives on the street—more specifically, her maternal relatives, her dear sister-in-law!

Well, there's another story here. I guess Grandma Mo hasn't been back to her parents' home for a long time. When she saw her family, her eyes welled up with tears, and she pulled them aside to chat.

Su Nanxi suddenly thought that if she went shopping a few more times, she could probably meet all of the Mo family's relatives that she didn't usually visit.

Wow! That's really interesting!

Judging from their faces and the way they're covering their eyes, this isn't going to end anytime soon. She'll just wander around by herself for now.

As Grandma Mo was engrossed in her conversation, Su Nanxi, not wanting to disturb her, tugged at Grandpa Mo's sleeve and gestured. Grandpa Mo understood and nodded in agreement.

Let her wander around for a bit. Chen Liang said he'd help keep an eye out for shops, but I wonder how things are going. She can't rely on herself entirely; she has to look for something herself. Once she finds something suitable, she can start preparing to open her shop.

More and more people in the village are learning how to make rice noodles, so that's not a problem. As for the ingredients, that's easy to arrange too. After all, we still need time to renovate the shop. And if all else fails…

Su Nanxi was walking and thinking when she was pulled aside.

She was stunned. How could someone be so arrogant in broad daylight? They deserved a beating!

Upon closer inspection, I realized I recognized him!

Su Nanxi flicked her sleeve, withdrawing her fist that was about to strike. How could this pharmacy owner be so frivolous, pulling and tugging at her like that!

The shopkeeper saw it too and knew that Su Nanxi knew martial arts, but he couldn't care less and looked at Su Nanxi pitifully for help.

"Miss, I'm so sorry! I've been calling you all this way, but you didn't stop, so I had no choice but to stop you. I'm very sorry for the offense, and I hope you'll forgive me!"

After speaking, Manager Luo gave Su Nanxi a slight bow, which was quite sincere.

Su Nanxi was puzzled. Why did they call her? And why did they stop her?

Besides, it's not that she didn't hear it; the shopkeeper didn't even know her name. He probably just called her "Miss, Miss," but there are so many girls on the street, who would know who he was calling?

Shopkeeper Luo looked distressed. "Miss, I have no choice. My master wants some precious medicinal herbs, but while herbs are easy to find, precious ones are hard to come by. I saw you passing by today and that's when I remembered you. I'm begging you for help! Miss, do you have any herbs you want to sell?"

Precious medicinal herbs?

She didn't really know much about medicine; she wasn't a medical student, so how would she know which herbs were valuable and which weren't? She had dug up quite a few medicinal herbs, but she didn't know how much they were worth.

If ginseng and lingzhi are the only precious things, then she doesn't have them now.

Seeing her deep in thought, Manager Luo felt a surge of joy, but a moment later, she shook her head, and his heart sank.

Finally, Manager Luo, unwilling to give up, invited Su Nanxi to sit in the pharmacy, saying that he would buy any kind of medicinal herb at reasonable prices.

Su Nanxi decided to give up on him and went to the counter, pulling out a bunch of random things.

See? I told you there weren't any precious medicinal herbs left, but you didn't believe me! You think ginseng is so easy to dig up? You think you're digging up radishes?

She dug up several plants, but she wanted to use them herself!

Besides, things are valued for their scarcity, and they can't be available frequently in a short period of time.

Su Nanxi leaned lazily against the counter, waiting for Manager Luo to change his expression and kick her out.

As it turned out, Manager Luo's expression did change, but not in the way she expected. Instead, she was overjoyed, her round face wide open, her mouth agape in a hilarious smile!

Su Nanxi almost lost her balance. Was the shopkeeper having a seizure?

Manager Luo's hands trembled as he touched the pile of medicinal herbs, his voice also trembling, "Great! Excellent! I knew the magpies were chirping today; it must mean something good!"

Su Nanxi was completely baffled. What was going on?

In short, can I exchange it for money?

They can exchange it for money; just give them the money and they're done.

Manager Luo carefully checked and counted the money, then respectfully presented it to the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper, you're not lying?
