Chapter 38 Moral blackmail: She bought medicine



Mu Wanting didn't say anything, and then continued to insert acupuncture needles several more times.

Shen Xinglan raised an eyebrow slightly, then her eyes lit up as she looked at Mu Wanting with delight and grabbed Mu Wanting's wrist with her large hand.

"I can feel my legs again."

Mu Wanting said, "The sensations will become clearer and clearer, and they will become more and more unbearable. You can't use painkillers during this process, so you need to be mentally prepared."

Shen Xinglan immediately understood what Mu Wanting meant by "unbearable".

It was a pain and itching that came from the bones, so painful that he couldn't sleep all night and his face turned pale.

Mu Wanting brought him a bag of sleeping pills, and only then was he able to sleep peacefully.

I am increasingly moved by Mu Wanting's gentleness and thoughtfulness.

After Mu Wanting left, she entered the space again.

The herbs planted in the space have sprouted and are now as tall as my calves.

Her eyes lit up. These herbs grow so fast, we should plant more of them.

She closed her eyes again and used her mind to cultivate several more fields, then planted some wild vegetable and fruit seeds in them, so that it would be easier to talk about them later.

Then she planted some other plants that required a long growing period, such as wild ginseng, ginseng, and lingzhi.

I don't know if it will work, but I have to give it a try.

Before going to bed, I ate a sweet apple.

After sleeping for another two hours in the space, I felt quite refreshed.

However, in order to avoid being discovered, she still chose to leave the space.

The next morning, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Zhang Caiyun carrying a bundle of medicinal herbs on her back, with a hint of flattery on her face.

"Mu Wanting, you buy it, I really can't carry it anymore."

Mu Wanting shook her head: "Second Aunt, really no."

Enraged, Zhang Caiyun threw down the medicinal herbs and was about to tear Mu Wanting apart.

"I think you're just putting on airs. You have to take these herbs whether you want them or not. I'm just collecting them for you!"

Mu Wanting took a step back, but Zhang Caiyun couldn't touch her, which made her very angry.

Finally, with a quick thought, she lay down on the ground and started to act spoiled.

"I kindly helped Mu Wanting collect medicinal herbs and even paid her, but Mu Wanting turned around and refused to accept them. Everyone, please be the judge!"

Everyone was resting while sitting down when they saw Zhang Caiyun's actions and looked over curiously.

Zhang Caiyun, originally from a rural background, is now becoming increasingly energetic.

"That Mu Wanting is going too far. She even tried to lower the price. She wouldn't buy it from me at the original price, and she still wouldn't buy it even when I offered her a 30% discount."

The Song family chimed in, "How can you help someone and then suffer a loss? Mu, just buy it."

Mu Wanting was amused: "Second Aunt, are you trying to force me to buy or sell?"

How could Zhang Caiyun possibly admit it?

"I'm just stating the facts, Mu Wanting. Hurry up and pay for it. Your second aunt helped you, but now she's even losing money."

The convicts, unaware of the truth, looked at Mu Wanting with strange eyes. They thought she was a good person, but it turned out she was ungrateful.

Mu Wanting shook her head: "First of all, I did not ask you to buy medicinal herbs, and you were not helping me. You were the one who wanted to hoard medicinal herbs and sell them to me at a high price. Everyone can see that."

"Now you're trying to use the masses to pressure me again, Second Aunt, I'm not falling for that. I have enough medicinal herbs."

That's when everyone learned the truth.

"So that's how it is. Zhang Caiyun's actions are really annoying. I wouldn't buy it either if I were in her shoes."

Zhang Caiyun looked at Shen Lijun. Although Shen Lijun found it annoying, these medicinal herbs cost a lot of money, and carrying them around was tiring.

"Wan Ting, we're all family. You can use these herbs, so why don't you buy them?"

Mu Wanting shook her head: "Second Uncle, I have more than enough medicinal herbs in this cart, there's no need to buy any more from you."

Shen Lijun's expression was somewhat unpleasant: "But you're the only one here who knows how to use medicinal herbs."

Mu Wanting smiled: "I know how to use medicinal herbs and I know how to cure diseases. I am a lifesaver for everyone on the road to exile, not a reason for you to force medicinal herbs on me."

"After all, when I was desperately short of medicinal herbs, it was my second aunt who forced everyone to sell them to her by using the cook's power. I didn't have any medicinal herbs at the time."

Then everyone remembered that when Mu Wanting bought medicinal herbs, not many people actually gave them to her.

Moreover, Mu Wanting is indeed everyone's lifeline. No one dares to offend her, and now everyone is speaking up for her.

“That’s right, Zhang Caiyun, don’t force people. I heard you say before that you wanted Mu Wanting to give you two taels of silver per bundle, but when you bought them, each bundle only cost one hundred coins. Aren’t you robbing people?”

Zhang Caiyun was so angry she wanted to hit someone, but she knew that so many people were on Mu Wanting's side, and hitting someone wouldn't get her any credit.

If one plan fails, another will be devised.

"Mu Wanting, please accept these medicinal herbs for the sake of me being your second aunt. Otherwise, they'll just sit in my hands and be of no use."

Is this an attempt to appeal to family ties?

Mu Wanting refused.

"Second Aunt, I really have too much here, we don't need it. Please think of another way."

After saying this, Mu Wanting left. Zhang Caiyun rolled around on the ground several times, but Mu Wanting did not let go. The crowd had already dispersed.

But she still refused to give up, feeling that she must have some favor to do by cooking for Ma Dazhuang and the others.

He immediately went to find Ma Dazhuang, hoping he would order Mu Wanting to buy the herbs.

Ma Dazhuang was very annoyed: "What does this have to do with me? Figure it out yourself."

Zhang Caiyun said, "At least I'm your cook, sir."

Ma Dazhuang laughed angrily: "If you don't want to cook, just say so."
