"Yes! Move them all in!"
The area in front of the Ruan family's house was bustling with activity.
Manager Du was directing the carriage. Ruan Meng saw Lin Qingyu standing to the side, her elder brother accompanying her, and Madam Du and Du Xiaocan standing to the side.
Du Xiaocan's expression was blank, but his eyes lit up the moment he saw Ruan Meng.
Ruan Meng walked over and greeted everyone one by one.
Besides the two carriages carrying passengers, Manager Du also hired five more carriages and asked his staff to come along and help unload the goods.
"Giggle giggle tap!"
"quack!"
......
After the piles of medicinal herbs were unloaded, Ruan Meng was surprised to find a flock of geese, chickens, and ducks, as well as several baskets of chicken eggs and duck eggs.
Jiqing helped pass the basket, and seeing Rumeng, proudly asked:
"Young lady, isn't it useful? Buying chickens, ducks, geese, and eggs was my idea!"
"The shopkeeper paid for it, and remembering that I had bought it for the young lady before, I took it upon myself to do so..."
Ruan Meng smiled broadly, "So thoughtful! It's really practical!"
After greeting Ruan Meng, Manager Du personally oversaw the unloading of the goods, worried about damaging the medicinal herbs and other items.
"Manager Du, you've gone to too much trouble!"
Ruan Meng said shyly.
Shopkeeper Du, his face full of gratitude, beckoned his wife and daughter over, saying, "Compared to the young lady's immense kindness, we can't even repay a fraction of it. What are these compared to that?"
"Besides, the young lady is willing to give Xiao Can a place to stay and a fresh start. What are we compared to her?!"
Madam Du was also very grateful. She took Ruan Meng's hand, took out one hundred taels of silver from her bosom, and forced it on Ruan Meng's subordinate.
"I originally planned to get new clothes for Xiaocan, but she thought they were too fancy and didn't want to be different..."
"So we only prepared one set of clothes for her to change into. The girl can decide what to wear. There's no need to make anything special for her. Just let her wear whatever she wants."
"It's clear that Xiao Can really likes the girl. It's his good fortune to have met her, and she's willing to take him along."
"Please don't refuse this money, young lady. It's for you to buy things for Xiao Can, and also for his food expenses!"
Ruan Meng glanced at Xiao Can, not wanting Xiao Can to feel uncomfortable at home, and after thinking for a moment, said:
"I'll take ten taels first, that's more than enough. If you're worried it's not enough, Madam Du can come often and send over the food expenses regularly, that'll be enough!"
Madam Du was overjoyed. She was worried about disturbing her daughter too much without an invitation from the host, but she would feel much more at ease if she could visit her daughter regularly.
Seeing that Manager Du nodded, he took out ten taels of silver from his pocket, stuffed it into Ruan Meng's hand, and was reluctant to let go for a long time.
"Since Sister Xiaocan calls me 'little sister,' from now on I will address you both as Uncle Du and Aunt Du, unless certain people..."
Ruan Meng turned around and glanced at Lin Qingyu, "Don't misunderstand Uncle Du, he's not giving me special treatment..."
Ji Qing walked in and slipped something into Ru Meng's hand.
Ruan Meng looked down and saw that it was a fifty-tael silver note.
Ji Qing explained in a low voice, "Miss, you've misunderstood the young master!"
"Although the young master said that Manager Du would be fined three months' wages, it was Manager Du himself who proposed it, and you were there at the time."
Ruan Meng nodded.
"After the young lady left, the young master gave Manager Du one hundred taels of silver, instructing him to take good care of Miss Xiao Can..."
"Although the young master is strict, he's not unreasonable. Actually, thinking about it now, his reprimand wasn't wrong. A person is a person, and a patient is a patient..."
"Perhaps it's because we are just ordinary people, and we judge people rather than things, that we don't have the same level of understanding as the young master when it comes to studying medicine. But the young master is also a very good person, and everyone respects him."
"The young master is devoted to medical research and rarely comes out, let alone to such a remote village. Please, for the sake of his visit, give Ji Qingfen some face and don't target him, okay?"
Ji Qing added, "The calming pills that the young master asked Manager Du to make for Miss Sun have been brought here. It's a huge package."
"Manager Du also asked the young master to make a medicine to nourish their bodies, which the eldest son and Miss Sun can both take."
After hearing this, Ruan Meng immediately turned around.
The speed of their movements startled Ji Qing, who quickly followed.
As soon as Ruan Meng reached out her hand, Ji Qing grabbed her arm, looking nervous.
Ruan Meng turned her head in confusion, while Ji Qing looked resigned to his fate...
Looking back at Lin Qingyu, he seemed a little surprised and let out a soft sigh.
Ruan Meng pointed to herself with her free hand and questioned the two of them:
"You think I'm going to hit someone?!"
Ji Qing thought for a moment and shook his head firmly, but what was with the wariness on his face?
Lin Qingyu's face turned slightly pale, and Ruan Meng found it hard to believe!
She's angry!
