Su Wenlan packed her clothes and other belongings, and had the two maids pack their things as well, before going to the Rong family with her. She told the other servants, especially the local servants, to go home, and that they would still receive wages when they returned home, which she would give them after she came back from the Rong family. She told them to take good care of themselves.
The servants who couldn't go home were told to stay and guard the Su family's residence. They were also told to buy everything they needed while the snow wasn't too heavy yet, otherwise they wouldn't be able to buy it later.
After getting ready, Rong Mu led Su Wenlan to Huimin Medical Clinic, while his father and fourth brother also got ready. They boarded the sleigh together, carrying hand warmers, and headed towards Anning Village.
After Rong Mu and the others left, Rong Sheng summoned her guards and told them to prepare immediately, to communicate with the county magistrate at any time, and to pay attention to the people. She also told them to send patients to the clinic outside the city. She would then bring her apprentices there. Huimin Clinic would leave doctors, but not too many. Patients who wanted treatment had to go to her outside the city.
After the guards agreed, Rong Sheng breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then he spoke to his disciples. The disciples of the Divine Doctor Valley didn't quite understand why Rong Sheng was so certain that a snow disaster would occur, but since their master, the Valley Master, didn't speak or refute Rong Sheng, they didn't say anything either. After all, Rong Sheng's medical skills were indeed excellent. The time they had spent learning from Rong Sheng was far more valuable than when they were learning medical skills in the Divine Doctor Valley!
Once everything was settled, Rong Sheng ordered the people to begin their evacuation, sending them to the clinic outside the city. He left behind all the medicine needed for the snow disaster and instructed Steward Yuan to work with the Valley Master's men to provide medical care and treatment to the people and refugees there.
The disciples of the Divine Doctor Valley haven't mastered their medical skills yet, so they can't use them for the time being. They can only leave behind some simple medicines. When the number of refugees is severe, the county magistrate will send them directly to the clinic outside the city.
Rong Mu took Su Wenlan and the others to Anning Village. When Su Wenlan saw the brand-new and impressive village and the densely packed greenhouses, her face was full of smiles. Rong Mu and the others introduced to Su Wenlan that the greenhouses were built under the personal supervision of Rong Hua, and which lands belonged to their family and which hilltops belonged to them.
Upon arriving at Anning Village, after getting off the sled, Rong Mu considerately helped Su Wenlan, saying, "The snow on the road is heavy and it's difficult to walk. Please be careful while you walk!"
"It's alright! Just go slower!" Su Wenlan said.
As they walked through the village, Rong Mu carefully explained his family situation to Su Wenlan, pointing out which families were his relatives or clansmen. Su Wenlan felt very sweet as she watched Rong Mu thoughtfully introduce them to her, because Rong Mu truly cared about her and that's why he introduced them to her, preventing her from feeling awkward later.
Back home, Xu was busy at home, and Han Chan was with her. It had snowed heavily on the road that day, so Han Chan was a little late returning from work because the snow was so heavy that it was difficult to fetch water. At this moment, everyone was very grateful that Rong Hua had the foresight to dig a well for every five greenhouses when she was building the greenhouses.
Even in places with poor terrain, there are wells! The reason for digging wells is to prevent water from freezing in winter, as it would be difficult to fetch water.
With the well, things are much more convenient for everyone, but there's still a queue to get water, so it takes a little longer than before.
When Rong Mu and the others returned, Madam Xu and Han Chan were very happy. However, when they saw Rong Yu return, Madam Xu's smile disappeared: "Fourth son, why are you back? Have you stopped studying?"
“Mother, the teacher said that because of the bad weather, everyone keeps falling while walking. Several students have even had to go to the clinic for treatment, so the teacher gave us an early holiday to study at home!” Rong Yu said.
Xu was relieved. She had been worried that Rong Yu would not study properly, would not want to study anymore, and would secretly run home.
Upon hearing this, Han Chan asked, "Then where is my younger brother, Han Tao? Why hasn't he come back?"
Rong Yu said, "Han Tao is staying at the teacher's house. Han Tao said he is the worst student among all the students taught by Pei Xiucai, so he wants to study harder! Therefore, he stayed at the teacher's house! The teacher agreed! Before I left, Han Tao told me to tell you not to worry! He will come back to see you when the weather gets better!"
Han Chan sighed, understanding Han Tao's thoughts. She felt a little disappointed that Han Tao hadn't come back to tell her in person, as she hadn't seen him in a long time.
"Thank you Rong Yu for telling me, it saved me from worrying!" Han Chan said gratefully.
At this moment, Rong Mu helped Su Wenlan into the courtyard. When Xu Shi saw Su Wenlan, she was stunned for a moment because she had never seen Su Wenlan before and did not know who Su Wenlan was. However, when she saw Rong Mu gently supporting a beautiful young girl, her eyes lit up.
"Mother! I've brought Miss Su back!" Rong Mu said silently, turning his head away as he looked at Madam Xu's predatory eyes.
"Miss Su? Is that the girl you like?" Madam Xu walked up to Su Wenlan enthusiastically, her dark eyes gazing at Su Wenlan with intense admiration. "Good girl, truly a good girl! Our Rong Mu has caused you quite a bit of trouble, hasn't he? Rong Mu told me about your situation, but it's a pity he hasn't been able to meet you yet! But today, the moment I saw you, I took a liking to you!"
mother! ! !
Su Wenlan stared blankly at Madam Xu. This was too enthusiastic. Although her relationship with Rong Mu was very stable, her family did not approve of her being with Rong Mu. She just hadn't told Rong Mu about this yet.
Han Chan couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene, because Madam Xu treated everyone equally, just as she had treated her before.
However, Miss Su seems to be a very easy person to get along with. If they become sisters-in-law in the future, there shouldn't be any disputes. The Rong family is very united and harmonious, so there shouldn't be any messy things happening.
"Mother, you've frightened Miss Su! It's so cold outside, let's go inside and talk!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Come in, come in!" Madam Xu was overjoyed. Her eldest daughter-in-law was confirmed, and her third daughter-in-law was confirmed as well. Before long, their family would have one happy event after another, and a lot of people would be green with envy.
Upon entering the house, Han Chan, along with Madam Xu, greeted Miss Su and poured them hot tea to warm them up, completely ignoring Rong Dong'an, Rong Mu, and Rong Yu, as if they didn't exist.
Rong Dong'an and the others felt helpless, but seeing that Madam Xu particularly liked Miss Su and Han Chan had no reservations, they were all satisfied. Rong Mu hesitated for a moment when he saw this scene, glanced at the house, and arranged rooms for Su Wenlan and her two maids.
