Song Yun sighed in her heart. Nowadays, there are many, many, many families in such difficult circumstances as Mother Peng's.
Even in the 1980s, there were still many.
"I just happen to need some medicinal herbs. Can I see how they're prepared at home?"
Peng Mingzhu looked at Peng Mingcheng and saw her brother nodded. She quickly ran to another room and brought back the medicinal herbs that her brother had prepared earlier but had not yet had time to take to the purchasing station to exchange for food.
There wasn't much, only about two or three pounds, and they were all very common medicinal materials, and the preparation was not very good. This was because he had no proper teacher to teach him, and he only learned one-sidedly from books. No wonder he could only exchange for some food. If the medicinal materials were of good quality and rare, it would be more than just food, and his family would not be so poor.
"I just happen to need these, please sell them to me." Song Yun said with a smile.
Peng Mingcheng opened his mouth, looked at his legs, but no words came out.
Mother Peng said, "You've helped our family so much today. If you need these herbs, just take them back. You can sell them to me."
Song Yun thought of something and said with a smile, "I said the wrong thing. Give it to me. I just need it."
She knew what the Peng family needed most right now, so she stuffed a big unity note into Peng Mingzhu's pocket, picked up the herbs and left.
She walked very quickly, and by the time Peng Mingzhu took out the Great Unity from his pocket, Song Yun had already reached the gate of the courtyard. She wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Peng Mingcheng.
"Mingzhu, stop chasing me."
Peng Mingzhu turned around and said, "Brother, your herbs are not worth that much money. We can't ask for so much from them. What kind of people would we be then?"
Peng Mingcheng said, "Do you think she doesn't know?"
Peng Mingzhu was speechless.
Yes, he is a doctor, how could he not know how much those medicinal herbs are worth.
Peng Mingcheng said, "She wanted to help us, but she couldn't pay us directly, so she said she wanted to buy our herbs."
Peng Mingcheng smiled bitterly, "The people at the purchasing station said that the herbs I prepared were not good at all and that they were ordinary and worthless. They only accepted them reluctantly out of pity for our family."
He saw clearly the expression on the female comrade's face when she saw his herbs. There was obvious disappointment in her eyes, and it was obvious that she was not satisfied with his herbs.
"Then we shouldn't ask for this money!" said Peng Mingzhu.
Peng Mingcheng looked at the kind-hearted Geng Yu's sister and said, "I'm not asking for it, I'm borrowing it. I will pay it back."
Mother Peng understood her son's intention and said to Peng Mingzhu, "The most urgent thing now is to heal your brother's leg. Once your brother's leg is healed, our family will repay him well in the future and will definitely pay back the money."
Peng Mingzhu understood that this was indeed the case. What was the point of showing off one's courage for a while? The most important thing was to solve the current predicament first.
Before going home, Song Yun stopped by the food factory to find Luo Qing, who had just started work today. She wanted to tell Luo Qing about Peng Mingzhu's situation and Lin Jiarong's plans.
She and Ruan Ruan had been to the food factory before. The guard knew that Song Yun was the niece of the deputy director, and thought she was here to see the deputy director, so he didn't even ask her to register and let her in.
Song Yun still registered according to the rules, then asked for the direction of the cafeteria and took it.
When she arrived at the canteen kitchen, Luo Qing was washing vegetables. An old lady was cursing beside her, saying dirty things and making indirect accusations. She also criticized Luo Qing from time to time for not washing the vegetables cleanly.
"What's not clean?" Song Yun's cold voice sounded behind the aunt.
The old lady turned around and saw a pretty girl in a military uniform. She frowned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
