Before Lin Minjun could say anything, Lu's mother started giving orders on her own.

Mother Lu pointed at the eaves and said, "If you want peppers, hang them on the eaves. I've prepared yellow croaker and a live chicken in the kitchen. If you want anything else, just tell me and I'll ask Deping to go out and buy it. Deping always says that you're a great cook, and he praises you to the highest heavens. It's a good opportunity for you to help us out today."

She gave these instructions, and at the end, she seemed to realize that the person in front of her was not their legitimate daughter-in-law, and it was not good to call her like that.

After thinking for a while, Lu's mother finally brought up the matter of marriage with great difficulty, "As for you and Deping, as long as you help our family entertain Director Su today, I will help you with your wedding. What do you think?"

"I don't think much about it. Lu Deping and I have already broken up. I just came to ask for money." Lin Minjun said as she stretched out her hand.

Hearing the word "money", Mother Lu raised her eyebrows. She had come from a hard life, and her family was extremely poor when she was young, so she attached great importance to money.

It would be fine if this girl didn't help right away when she came to the house, but now she asks for money?

And you want to break up with his son?

This is not a joke. In Lu's mother's eyes, her son Lu Deping is the best young man in Jeonbuk City. He is the only one who can dump others, not the one who can be dumped.

"What money do you want?" Mother Lu pretended to be dumb at first, speaking in a tone of someone who had experienced it. "I heard Deping say that you two were arguing, but you didn't break up. Listen to your aunt's advice. A good marriage is not easy. Our Deping has been used to it since he was a child. You can coax him. He is not a bad person."

Once Mrs. Lu started talking, she couldn't stop and wanted to lecture.

Lin Minjun was interrupted just as she was about to speak. When she opened her mouth again, Lu's mother interrupted her again. She felt unhappy after doing this several times.

I came here to ask for money. We had already said we wanted to break up, but you kept nagging me with so many nonsense and looked at me so arrogantly.

Do you want me to be grateful, grateful that your family gave me the opportunity to be a mother and cook for you in exchange for the opportunity to marry into your family?

She thought Lu's mother was ridiculous, so she reached out her hand again and said more emphatically, "Auntie, Lu Deping and I have really broken up, and there is no possibility for us to be together in the future. Please don't say these things, just give me the money!"

"What money?" Mother Lu was obviously anxious and her voice suddenly became louder.

Lin Minjun was about to say something when someone else came in. She turned around and saw Lu Xueping leading the female comrade inside. She was very attentive and was surprised when she saw them. "Mom, what are you still doing here? Director Su is here, why don't you let her cook?"

Director Su is nearly forty years old and has sleeves on his arms. He started looking around as soon as he entered the yard.

The guests had all arrived, and Lu's mother was anxious to entertain them. She came closer and said in a low voice, "Did you see this woman? She's the director of the hospital. Our family has many important people coming and going. There are only advantages and no disadvantages for you to marry into our family. Little girl, stop while you're ahead. Don't get angry with Deping. Now hurry up and cook."

Lin Minjun was completely annoyed. Neither the mother nor the son could understand what people were saying.

She glanced at Director Su and raised her voice, "Auntie, I'm just here to ask for money. You're talking nonsense to me. Are you trying to evade the debt? Don't you remember me reminding you that it's the money for my herbs? We agreed on that."

Mother Lu had to send Lin Minjun to cook while entertaining guests, and she was so anxious that she was about to stamp her feet.

But things were still developing step by step in the direction that Lu's mother least wanted.

Here, Mother Lu wanted to approach Director Su, but Director Su ignored her and looked at Lin Minjun anxiously, "Little girl, do you have any medicinal herbs? Are you a medicine seller? Do you have anything else?"

A series of questions came at Lin Minjun, who was confused. "I'm not selling medicine. I picked them from the deep mountains in my hometown. Do you want to buy them?"

"Yes." Director Su nodded again and said anxiously, "My daughter was born with a disease and has to take medicine all year round to save her life. Medicine is hard to buy in North City."

Lin Minjun saw that although she was a director, her eyes were full of pity and pleading when she talked about her daughter, and her heart softened, "Not for now, but when I settle down, I can help you contact people in your hometown. We can occasionally collect medicinal herbs there."

"Thank you, little girl, thank you so much. What's your name? I'll come find you later. Let's exchange addresses to keep in touch." Director Su was about to look for a pen and paper, but when he touched his pocket, he remembered that he was here as a guest today and did not bring anything with him.

Mrs. Lu was very smart and could read people's expressions. When she saw that Director Su had a different attitude towards Lin Minjun, she immediately started to greet him, "Xue Ping, go make some tea. Director Su, shall we go in and talk in detail? Minjun, you come in too. I'll order a table of food outside and we can talk while we eat."

She didn't want Lin Minjun to cook anymore, so she ordered a table outside and used Lin Minjun to establish a relationship with Director Su. She felt that she had already made concessions.

Lin Minjun shook off her hand, her patience running out. "I don't have much time, just pay me back. You're not the right person to be. You said you were not in good health before, so I sent you the medicine I saved to replenish your body. You also said you would pay me according to the market price, but you never paid me. Now I come to ask for it, but you keep arguing and arguing. What do you want?"

She knew that Lu's mother was a stingy person, and she was just being polite when she said she was giving the money. She had never received the money since she married into the Lu family in her previous life. Now that she had broken off all ties with Lu Deping, why shouldn't she want it?

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you saying this?" Halfway through his speech, Lu's mother called out and interrupted him quickly.

Before Lin Minjun could figure out what was wrong with her, Director Su suddenly asked, "What kind of herbs are these? Are they Gastrodia elata or Dendrobium officinale?"

"How do you know?" Lin Minjun was also puzzled.

Director Su continued to ask, "She said she was not feeling well. Did you send it to her?"

Lin Minjun nodded.

"Oh! I'm not feeling well." Mother Lu's face flushed and she drank water from the teacup to hide her embarrassment.

Lin Minjun became more and more confused.

Director Su frowned and analyzed carefully, "She often asks you for things on the pretext of poor health. As far as I know, Sister Lu has also often given Chinese herbal medicines as gifts to others in the past two years. She even sent them to my home twice."

Lin Minjun and Director Su looked at each other, and an answer was obvious.

Need I say more? On one hand, Lu's mother cheated the little girl of her medicinal materials, and on the other hand, she used flowers and Buddha to take Lin Minjun's things as a favor and give gifts to build relationships.

The most important thing is, if you still refuse to pay, are you still a human being?

Lin Minjun's eyes fell on Lu's mother again, as if she wanted to stare through her.
