"Dendrobium flowers? That's a good thing, Qingqing, where did you get them?"
Yue Hongxia rushed over in a flash, her eyes shining. She worked in the pharmacy of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Although she didn't know anything about medicine, she had been exposed to the hospital and naturally knew the preciousness of Dendrobium flowers.
Wild ones, in particular, are rare and expensive, something you can't buy even if you have the money.
Ye Qingqing stepped aside, blocking Yue Hongxia's outstretched hand, crumpled up a handkerchief, stuffed it into Lin Shufang's hand, and winked at her. Lin Shufang understood and tucked the handkerchief into her pocket.
If it were just ordinary things, giving Yue Hongxia a little wouldn't be a problem. She's not petty, as her sister-in-law has taken advantage of her quite a bit in the past. But these dendrobium flowers were picked by Qingqing after going through all sorts of hardships. No wonder that girl fell and was in such a terrible state. What a silly girl!
These dendrobium flowers represent Qingqing's heartfelt gift to her son. Lin Shufang would never let Yue Hongxia waste them; she had to keep them safe!
"I picked them on the mountain," Ye Qingqing said, turning around to answer Yue Hongxia's question.
She picked a lot of dendrobium flowers, but she only took out less than a fifth of them. It wasn't that she was reluctant to give them to Lu Mo, but rather that with selfish people like Yue Hongxia in the Lu family, she was worried that Lin Shufang wouldn't be able to keep the dendrobium flowers.
She would take out a small amount first to test the waters, and if Lin Shufang could hold onto it, she would then take out the rest.
Besides, since dendrobium has been transplanted into the space, there will definitely be no shortage of it in the future.
"Gathered from the mountain? Dendrobium only grows on cliffs, even grown men wouldn't dare to gather it, Qingqing, don't lie to me!" Yue Hongxia didn't believe it at all.
She had heard from an old doctor at the hospital that wild dendrobium only grows on cliffs and is harvested by trained local mountain people, and that tragedies often occur. How could a little girl like Ye Qingqing have the ability to climb cliffs?
Hmph... Could it be that she was sexually assaulted outside and deliberately picked some dendrobium flowers to pretend she picked them herself?
"I lied to my second aunt that I would get money, didn't you see my hands are all worn out!" Ye Qingqing said irritably, holding out her bloodied and mangled hands. Only then did she realize how painful it was.
The ten fingers are connected to the heart; the fingernails at the tips of my fingers are worn down to the bare base, and it hurts terribly.
A complex mix of emotions welled up inside Lu Mo. He couldn't quite put his finger on it—was it gratitude? Heartache? Or frustration?
Or perhaps both are true. How could this silly girl be so bold as to climb a cliff? What if…
Lu Mo dared not imagine that if Ye Qingqing fell, he would spend the rest of his life in regret.
Tie Dan whispered in his ear, "Battalion Commander, your wife is so good to you. If my future wife is even half as good as your wife, I'll be content!"
This time, Lu Mo did not rebuke Tie Dan for his nickname. He looked at the disheveled Ye Qingqing with a tenderness in his eyes that he himself did not know, but he was still angry.
I'm so angry at this girl for being so reckless!
I need to have a serious talk with this girl later!
Lin Shufang kept the dendrobium flowers in her room, planning to use a few to make soup every day, but she still didn't approve of Ye Qingqing's reckless behavior.
"You're not allowed to pick them anymore. What if you fall? You're really reckless, girl. Look at all your injuries, doesn't it hurt?"
Lin Shufang was heartbroken. Ye Qingqing's face, neck, hands and feet were covered in injuries. She went back to her room to get some ointment to apply to Ye Qingqing's wounds. When Ye Qingqing touched the wounds, she hissed and gasped.
"You'll only learn your lesson when you feel pain. Let's see if you dare to do that again. You dare to climb cliffs and precipices. You must have a death wish!" Lin Shufang scolded incessantly.
Ye Qingqing let it go in one ear and out the other, her face contorted in pain like a little squirrel.
Lu Mo glanced over unintentionally and saw that the girl's face was distorted, with her eyebrows, nose, and mouth all lumped together. He was both annoyed and amused, and his eyes softened.
