Zhang Xiuhong was swinging a sickle in one hand and holding a few wild flowers in the other. The cloth bag behind her was bulging with flowers overflowing.
Shen Sisi's eyes widened, it turned out that she was the one who picked all the wild flowers on the mountain...
Seeing her coming down from the top of the mountain, she was lost and depressed, with a look of dejection and frustration that was visible to the naked eye.
Forget it, there’s no need to go to the mountain. All the flowers have been picked. We have to find another place.
"It's you... What a coincidence, you're here to pick flowers too." Shen Sisi forced a smile.
The last time Zhang Xiuhong came here, she was looking for death, but now she is in the mood to pick flowers. It seems that her mood has recovered well.
Thinking of this, Shen Sisi's inner gloom was alleviated by about 70%.
Zhang Xiuhong curled up her sleeves and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "It's a coincidence that I met you here, and it saves me from making another trip."
She rushed to Shen Sisi's side, squatted down, put the big bag on the ground, held the wild animals in her hands, and stuffed them into Shen Sisi's backpack one handful at a time.
...
...
“You are…” Shen Sisi subconsciously took a half step back, and soon realized that Zhang Xiuhong had no ill intentions. On the contrary, she seemed to be helping…
"Did you pick these flowers for me?" Shen Sisi was shocked.
"Yeah!" Zhang Xiuhong panted and pushed five times before she finally suppressed the wild desire.
"The last time I saw you coming to the forest to pick flowers, you might have had a fever. I guess you've finished your ** tea in the past two days, so I came to help you pick some..."
Shen Sisi couldn't help laughing. Isn't Zhang Xiuhong really good at talking nonsense? A few small wild flowers reminded me of her getting angry and making scented tea... She was indeed born with a gossipy constitution.
However, she was too lazy to explain.
The more explanations, the more trouble.
Rather than telling others that she was making medicinal oil, it would be better for people to misunderstand that she was having a bad temper.
"So that's how it is..." Shen Sisi was worried about where to pick herbs, but now Zhang Xiuhong has solved her urgent problem.
Shen Sisi didn't act pretentiously and accepted it generously: "Then Sister Xiuhong, thank you!"
Zhang Xiuhong was still worried that Shen Sisi would not accept her kindness, but unexpectedly, Shen Sisi was so straightforward.
She raised her head, and under the mottled shadows of the trees, Shen Sisi's sweet smile was brighter than the sun, as if... the unpleasantness between them had never happened.
With such a huge grudge, if it were Zhang Xiuhong, she would have stopped having any contact with the person long ago.
Shen Sisi not only saved her, but also helped her, letting bygones be bygones. Her mind is broader than that of any other man, and even broader than the ocean.
"You... aren't you afraid that I'm harming you?" Zhang Xiuhong asked deliberately.
Shen Sisi smiled and said, "If you want to harm me, you can just hide in a deserted corner and deal with me secretly. Why do you have to come out to cut grass in the dew so early in the morning?"
Zhang Xiuhong thought about it and it was true!
"Besides, what good would it do you to kill me?"
She patted the mud off her hands and said, "Hey, I knew I couldn't fool you. You are such a smart guy..."
"I don't deserve to be called a shrewd person. It's mainly because of you, Sister Xiuhong, your acting is so bad..."
"You..." Zhang Xiuhong's face turned red with embarrassment, but she didn't dare to tease her anymore.
Shen Sisi's original work was all done by Zhang Xiuhong. Her way of repaying her gratitude was really special.
So they walked back together, basking in the warm morning sun as they walked, their bodies all feeling hot.
Along the way, she didn't know how many thank yous she had heard, and her ears were almost callused.
"Sister Sisi, you are really smart... I listened to you that day and reflected deeply after returning home. I stopped making trouble with my husband and stopped gossiping about him. Within a few days, my husband's attitude towards me really changed."
"The divorce was never mentioned again!"
Zhang Xiuhong was relieved. Otherwise, if she divorced and returned to the countryside, she would have been wasted.
"I, Zhang Xiuhong, will never forget your great kindness!"
Shen Sisi never asks for anything in return when doing good things, nor does she expect others to repay her kindness. She just hopes that she doesn't encounter the story of the dragon husband and the snake.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiuhong is quite sentimental.
It's not like he's completely evil.
"It's okay, it's just a small matter." Shen Sisi didn't take it to heart at all.
"It may seem like a small matter to you, but it means my life to me, and the life of our whole family. Anyway, I will remember it all. I, Zhang Xiuhong, don't have any special abilities, but I have endless energy. From now on, the **tea in your house will be handed over to me!"
She patted her chest with a serious look, as firm as if she was swearing an oath, which made both Shen Sisi and Niu Niu laugh.
The speaker said this unintentionally, but the listener took it seriously.
This was only her second order, and there were hundreds of bottles of medicated oil. She couldn't handle it all by herself, so she really needed some good helpers.
She thought for a while and said, "Okay, it's settled then. If I need any herbs in the future, I'll leave it to you."
Zhang Xiuhong was quite happy and felt that she was needed by her.
"Okay, you're welcome..."
"But I can't let you work for nothing..." Shen Sisi smiled and said, "I will pay you."
"Salary?" Zhang Xiuhong threw her hands in anger, her face full of gloom. "Sister Sisi, who are you insulting? It's just a simple job, and I still want your salary?"
Shen Sisi was not annoyed, but sighed with regret: "Alas... In this case, I won't dare to trouble you next time. I have to pay for someone anyway, so it seems that I can only find someone else."
Li Xiuhong was fooled: "What? You want to hire someone?"
Shen Sisi hummed softly, "I wanted to cooperate with you so that you can take care of the family and make money at the same time, what a pity..."
The arm that had been thrown away once again held Shen Sisi in a familiar manner: “Good sister, what are you doing? You actually need to hire someone.”
Shen Sisi saw that she was honest. Anyway, everyone would know about this business in the future, so she no longer concealed it: "I am making medicinal oil, and I need some medicinal herbs, some of which can be picked in the mountains."
"I originally thought that if you could help me collect herbs, I would be relieved and have more time to make them. Unfortunately..."
He was deep in thought and sighing, and he suddenly looked dozens of years older.
Zhang Xiuhong was getting anxious now, and she kept tightening her grip on Shen Sisi's fingers: "How would I know you were making medicinal oil? I thought you were picking licorice and drying them to make tea. I didn't expect...you are so amazing!"
Shen Sisi blinked her cunning eyes: "So?"
Zhang Xiuhong was so anxious that her tongue was tied: "Yes, of course I will do it. You have to hire someone anyway. Instead of letting outsiders take advantage of it, you might as well give it to me. At least I can guarantee that I can pick fresh ones for you."
"Okay!" Shen Sisi agreed with her immediately, and then talked about salary... Shen Sisi fell silent again.
