Su Yan pursed her lips and reluctantly replied, "Mm."
She was still holding a grudge.
Jiang Jingxing said somewhat helplessly, "I was too harsh with my tone just now, but I was worried about your safety. It's too dangerous here."
He never expected that Su Yan would risk coming to the deep mountains in order to find precious medicinal herbs. How desperate for money was she?
Oh no, I should say how much she loves money?
Su Yan was also someone who knew when to stop. She jumped off the tiger's back, took out a bundle of ginseng wrapped in cloth from the basket, and handed it to Jiang Jingxing. "I've found what you wanted. When are we going to the capital?"
"Found it?"
Jiang Jingxing's eyes brightened slightly.
I lifted the cloth and carefully held it in my hand to look at it.
Its shape and size were indeed quite different from those he had seen before.
However, he quickly wrapped it up and returned it to Su Yan, saying solemnly, "Miss Su, please take the ginseng to Tang Li to discuss the price. After I finish this mission, I will fulfill my promise to you."
Is he on a mission?
Su Yan was a little surprised, but she understood after seeing his attire.
"Boss, we need to move to a different location."
A voice came from afar, addressed to Jiang Jingxing.
Jiang Jingxing's expression turned serious. He said to the person in front of him, "I'm leaving now. Be careful on your way down the mountain."
Even with his face covered in camouflage, his face was still just as striking.
Especially the way he was giving those earnest instructions at that moment, it was as if he were entrusting some important national matter.
Su Yan was momentarily dazed, and said, "You be careful too."
Jiang Jingxing raised an eyebrow, glanced at her with some surprise, then turned and strode away.
The man and the beast watched as the group gradually disappeared into the jungle.
Wei Wu stared at Jiang Jingxing with curiosity.
This male biped is not afraid of it!!!
How dare they ignore it?!
That's amazing!
"Let's go, Weiwu." Su Yan stroked its fur and then climbed onto its back.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Su Yan said to it, "I estimate I'll come back to see you in a couple of days. You go hunt first."
Upon hearing this, Weiwu immediately tapped her head gently with its tail.
You two-legged creature, you always use me and then just toss me aside! I won't help you next time!
Su Yan used delicious food to lure the tiger away before she could appease him.
She felt like she had only been in the mountains for a short time, but by the time she came down to go home, the sun had already set halfway down the mountain.
When they got home, Li Juan was still resting.
When Grandma Li came out and saw that she was in a mess, she said without asking any questions, "Hurry up and tidy yourself up, so that your mother won't keep asking you questions when she wakes up."
Su Yan had no idea how disheveled she looked. But since she was sitting on Wei Wu's back, she figured she wouldn't be in any real trouble.
It turned out that she was being too naive.
When she looked in the mirror and saw her face, the words "crazy woman" and "frizzy-tempered" perfectly described her at that moment.
Her once jet-black hair, battered by the wind and trees, now stood on end like a lion's mane. Her small face, no bigger than a palm, bore several fine scars. Her face looked utterly wretched, yet it also evoked a sense of pity in me.
The original owner's facial features were a combination of the best features of her parents: large, round almond-shaped eyes, a small, upturned nose, fleshy lips, and smooth skin with no visible pores. She was just not fair-skinned enough, but that didn't matter, as these qualities could be improved through care.
Moreover, under the loose clothes, the original owner had a very hot figure, S-shaped, slim where she should be and curvy where she should be, without any flaws. This was something that President Su in her previous life would never have dared to dream of. In her previous life, she even considered getting plastic surgery, but gave up because she was afraid of the pain.
However, the original owner was timid and weak-willed. Even though she had a beautiful appearance, she was easily overlooked because of her lack of outstanding temperament. When she had free time, she was determined to go to the department store in Lan City to go on a shopping spree!
Su Yan touched her face and sighed softly. Heaven was still looking out for her, knowing that she wasn't particularly beautiful in her past life, so in this life, it let her experience the joy of being a beauty.
After taking a shower, Li Juan was already up and washing up.
"Oh my god! Ah Yan, what happened to your face? You look like a cat!" Li Juan exclaimed.
Su Yan waved her hand dismissively, "Mother, these little scratches won't leave scars. Just apply some medicine and they'll be fine in a few days."
She didn't originally intend to wipe anything, but just in case, she decided to apply some iodine solution for disinfection.
Li Juan glared at her and said irritably, "You brat, did you go up the mountain behind my back again? Did you find the precious medicinal herbs Manager Tang wanted this time? Don't blame me for nagging, but after this, you shouldn't go up the mountain as often. Also, how many days has it been since you went to the post office? Can't you pay a little more attention to your schoolwork?"
"Mom," Su Yan said, her head throbbing. "My friend said the acceptance letter won't arrive for another week, which means there are still three days left. I'll go there a little earlier the day after tomorrow. Let's not talk about this now. How was business today?"
When business was mentioned, Li Juan's attention immediately shifted to this.
"Business isn't as booming as it was a couple of days ago, but we can still sell out ten buckets of braised food by 1 or 2 p.m. Also, some customers have asked if we can change the flavor of our medicinal porridge. One flavor is too monotonous."
Su Yan thought for a moment and said, "I'll look into other things after I've sorted out the school issue."
She received the admission notice, and the Su family will definitely cause trouble in Lijia Ping when they find out.
Moreover, without the constraints of going to university, the Su family won't be as well-behaved as they are now.
Anping Town is so small that you can see several familiar faces if you walk around half of the town. The Su family must already know that she sells braised food. The reason they haven't made a move is simply because Su Zhi's university admission has not yet been finalized. Once it is, Old Mrs. Su and Zhang Yu will definitely come to ask for money.
"Yes, yes, nothing is more important than going to school."
Li Juan is now afraid that the Su family will beat her to it, so it's become the norm for her to urge her daughter several times a day.
"By the way, Mother, how is Xiao Rui doing?" Su Yan asked.
The child lost his father yesterday and is all alone. She is still a little worried that he might do something rash.
Li Juan: "That kid is hardworking. He not only delivers duck products to us on time, but also offers cheap prices. He asked me if he could borrow a corner to sell ducks tomorrow, and I agreed. He's so pitiful, and we should help him as much as we can. We still have a small portion of our stall space left."
Su Yan nodded.
Liang Xiaorui's request clearly indicates that she wants to live a good life.
"Bang!"
"Clang—!"
"You left half a bucket yesterday, and one and a half buckets left today. How much money does my family have to make for you? You good-for-nothing, I'll beat you to death!"
A cursing voice accompanied by a shrill scream came from next door.
"Mom! I was wrong, I didn't expect business to be so bad, please don't hit me anymore..."
"Don't hit my face—!"
While crying and admitting her mistakes, Zhu Xiaoping promised that even if she sold all the goods by tomorrow, she would still be beaten.
Su Yan shifted her gaze to Li Juan, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Mom, what's going on?"
