Yue Hongxia was extremely stingy. She would be willing to spend money on pastries and fruit for her father, but she would absolutely refuse to spend a lot of money on tonics.
“The hospital doesn’t have wild ones… Dendrobium won’t cure his leg, so it doesn’t matter whether Lu Mo eats it or not…” Yue Hongxia was still unwilling to give up.
Actually, giving it to her biological father was just an excuse; she wanted to make it for herself. Lately, she had been feeling unwell, couldn't sleep well at night, and had irregular periods. She guessed that menopause was approaching, and she wanted to eat something good to regulate her body. Dendrobium would be the best choice.
Lin Shufang's face turned very ugly, but she was gentle by nature and never cursed. She was just feeling frustrated.
Just as Ye Qingqing was about to retort, Grandpa Lu spoke up, "Shufang, go and get Qingqing something to eat."
Lin Shufang slapped herself in frustration, "Oh dear, my brain is all muddled. I'll go cook noodles for Qingqing."
"No need for that trouble, we can just heat up the leftovers." Ye Qingqing was really hungry. She wanted rice more than noodles, as noodles wouldn't fill her up.
"Okay, I'll make a loofah and egg soup, and the leftover braised pork ribs and steamed pork with preserved mustard greens from tonight."
Lin Shufang jogged to the kitchen. Old Master Lu looked at his second son and his wife and said in a deep voice, "Second son, go to the study with your wife. I have something to say to you."
After Lu Jiangang and his wife left, only Ye Qingqing, Lu Mo, Tie Dan, and Ye Tong remained in the living room.
Tie Dan's eyes lit up, and he took Ye Tong's hand. "Let's go play marbles."
"good!"
Ye Tong had quieted down and obediently followed Tie Dan to play with marbles. He could easily beat his older brother Tie Dan every time, which made Ye Tong feel very accomplished.
Lu Mo cursed Tie Dan inwardly for being tactless, but he didn't show it on his face, maintaining his usual icy expression, though his heart was involuntarily racing.
Bang bang bang...
It looks like a little train is running.
My palms were slightly sweaty, and my breathing seemed a little labored.
Lu Mo cursed himself for being so cowardly. She was just a little girl, why was he so nervous?
After coughing a few times, Lu Mo calmed himself down and looked at Ye Qingqing. Her hair was tied up, and the wounds on her neck and face were covered with green ointment, making her look like a comical face.
Lu Mo felt that Ye Qingqing was cuter at this moment than ever before.
I used to think this girl was just unruly, playful, and unreasonable, but now she seems to have grown up overnight and is so sensible that it breaks my heart.
Maybe Tiedan is right, girls change a lot as they grow up, this girl has really grown up!
"Don't go up the mountain anymore." Lu Mo didn't know what to say, and after thinking for a long time, he finally managed to utter this dry sentence.
He had seen wild dendrobium growing on cliffs during his previous missions, so it wasn't difficult for him. But he was a specially trained special forces soldier, while Ye Qingqing was just a little girl. Where would she get the courage to climb such a deep cliff?
What if I accidentally step into an empty space...
Lu Mo's throat tightened, and he dared not think any further, feeling even more annoyed.
"My leg is fine whether I eat dendrobium or not, but if you fall..."
"Pah, pah, pah... Can't you say something nice?"
Ye Qingqing interrupted him impatiently. Her legs were still weak. When she climbed back down from the cliff, she looked down again and saw that it was bottomless. She was so scared that she collapsed to the ground. She would never dare to climb down again.
"Don't flatter yourself. I didn't go to pick dendrobium specifically for you. I just picked it up on the side." Eager to share her joy at finding the treasure, Ye Qingqing approached Lu Mo and took out a lingzhi mushroom still covered in moss from her bag.
