The woman was so angry that her face turned green when she heard this.
But Xiao Jinglin suddenly said, "I won't accept people who can't read."
"Huh?" Mo Liang's friend forgot to struggle and stood there in a daze.
But the child was also smart. He rolled his eyes and said happily, "If I can read, will you take me in?"
Xiao Jinglin thought about it and nodded: "Yeah."
Mo Liang immediately broke free from her mother's hand and ran away happily, shouting, "Writing, writing..."
The woman watched her son disappear in the blink of an eye, her face and eyes full of worry. She looked at Xiao Jinglin, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
But before she could speak, Xiao Jinglin nodded to the woman calmly and said, "Don't worry."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.
Xiao Jinglin turned to Ren Yaoqi and said, "You go in and wait for me first. I'll be back soon."
"Where are you going?" Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but frown. This place was remote, and she only had Apple with her. Although she wasn't a coward, she didn't want to stay here alone.
"I'm just buying some things nearby and will be back soon. I'll let Tongxi stay." As if knowing Ren Yaoqi's worry, Xiao Jinglin leaned close to her and said, "Don't be afraid, there are people guarding around. No outsiders will be allowed in."
Ren Yaoqi was relieved, although she was a little surprised that Xiao Jinglin had to go by himself to buy something. She also thought that Xiao Jinglin didn't like to bring people with him, so she really didn't bring anyone with him, and she didn't expect that there was someone in the dark.
Xiao Jinglin said a few more words to the woman and turned to leave.
The woman took Ren Yaoqi to the backyard.
Only then did Ren Yaoqi realize that while the front of the shop was small, the yard inside was more than three times larger. Although it was just an ordinary backyard, it was planted with flowers and plants. Ren Yaoqi discovered that there was also land in the corner, where some herbs such as Panax notoginseng and mountain thistle were planted.
"Is there anyone in the shopkeeper's family who knows medicine?" Ren Yaoqi asked.
The woman said hurriedly, "My husband's surname is Mo, so you can call me Sister Mo. My wife's grandfather originally ran a medicine shop. So she knows some herbs. She also picks and grows herbs to make some money."
"I see."
"Sister, do you know herbs?" Sister Mo asked with a smile as she led Ren Yaoqi to the table facing northeast in the yard.
"I only know a few common ones, but I can't really say I recognize them."
The young woman who was setting the table looked up at Ren Yaoqi with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. Judging from her attire and age, Ren Yaoqi guessed that she must be Mo's wife.
Mrs. Mo instructed the young woman, "Huoxiang, go help me watch Liang write. We're not open for business today. There are no other customers, so I can handle it myself."
"Yes, mother." Huoxiang put the dishes in place and lowered her head.
"Sister, please sit down. I'll go to the kitchen to see if the meal is ready." Sister Mo said with a smile.
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "You are busy."
Mrs. Mo also left. Ren Yaoqi took a look around the courtyard. He stood up and looked at a nearby potted plant in a rough clay pot. Inside was a thriving wood orchid. Wood orchid is also a medicinal plant.
Ren Yaoqi took a closer look and realized that most of the flowers and plants in the yard were medicinal. In the potted plants alone, she saw caviar, pinellia, gentian, phoenix tail, seven leaves, fangfeng, asarum, two-sided needle, chuanxiong, and arisaema.
