Chen Tan clenched his hand holding the medicine slightly, held his breath for a few seconds, raised his eyes, and smiled faintly.
"Obedience is worse than respect. Thank you, Madam and Mr. Shang, for your hospitality. I'll boil the medicine."
"Okay, we'll wait for you."
Zhou Qinglan smiled at his son and said, "You really have a solution, kid."
Chen Tan entered the kitchen and added a bowl of spiritual spring water into the medicine jar when Aunt Xu turned her back.
After the water boiled, she came to the dining table in a dignified manner.
Today's meal is quite rich, with braised pork, stewed beef, fish ball soup, big plate chicken, and stir-fried vegetables.
Zhou Qinglan sat at the top. She pointed to the empty seat opposite Shang Yuantang and said enthusiastically,
"Xiao Tan, please sit down quickly. Yuantang said your cooking is really delicious. Last time he wanted to keep you for dinner, but you left. He was so upset that he specially..."
"Mom, could you please stop talking nonsense!"
Shang Yuantang threw down his chopsticks in frustration, "I'm your son, not some piece of trash. Don't think that my body is ruined and shove some messed-up people in front of me. I don't like them, no matter how beautiful they are."
Sitting upright, Chentan didn't pick up his chopsticks, thinking to himself, "Mmm," are you hinting at me?
Why is she such a mess?
Bah, even if you are His Majesty, I don’t care!
Zhou Qinglan stared at her son in a daze. Seeing that he was really angry, tears welled up in her eyes. "Okay, it's Mom's fault. I won't do it again."
Then, he turned to look at Chen Tan and smiled guiltily, "Did I scare you? That's just his temper. Don't be afraid. Eat quickly. Take whatever you like. Don't be polite with us."
"It's okay, I'm really not hungry. I'll go to the kitchen to check the fire." Chen Tan said politely and went to the kitchen.
Shang Yuantang tightened his hands hanging by his side, lowered his eyes to look at the bowl, feeling extremely depressed.
How could he lose his temper in front of outsiders?
Did it scare her?
Ding Ding Ding
The phone in the living room suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room.
Shang Yuantang walked over to pick up the phone. After listening for a while, he said coldly, "Send someone to investigate secretly. Once they find it, don't alert the enemy yet."
Then he came to the dining table, picked up the bowl and started eating, but the food tasted strangely bad.
Seeing his expression ease, Zhou Qinglan asked him softly, "What's the matter?"
Shang Yuantang raised his eyelids and glanced towards the kitchen. His voice deepened, "Someone reported that people from the tea mountain were raising livestock in the deep mountains. What should we do?"
"They're really bold," Zhou Qinglan also glanced towards the kitchen, lowering her voice. "Hold them back. After all, their whole family is there. Don't report this to the authorities."
"Um."
Chen Tan didn't hear the last words of the two people, only the first two sentences: "Someone reported that people in the tea mountain were breeding in the deep mountains. What should be done?"
Her heart was pounding and her hand holding the medicine jar was unsteady.
If he has to ask Shang Yuantang for instructions on such a thing, then his identity must be very important. No matter how powerful those wolfhounds are, they can't stop Mu Cang.
If she went back and asked Qin Li to move those things, they would not be able to move them in three to five days, and they would not be able to find a place to store them. They might be caught red-handed.
If she used space transfer, she would not be able to take them out in the future. After all, those things did not belong to Qin Li alone.
What to do? What to do? What should she do?
“Hey, Comrade Shen, aren’t you afraid of the heat?”
Aunt Xu found her standing there in a daze with the medicine jar in her hand, and was so scared that she quickly took it over.
Chen Tan came back to her senses, and the burning pain in her palm quickly spread to her pain nerves. She kept shaking her hands and screamed "Ah" uncontrollably.
Shang Yuantang and Zhou Qinglan heard the noise, got up and ran to the kitchen, and saw Aunt Xu soaking Chen Tan's hands in a basin of cold water.
Her palms were facing upwards, and her fair skin and the red on her palms formed a sharp contrast in the water.
Shang Yuantang's eyes darkened slightly. He wanted to move forward but stopped, then turned around and walked away.
Zhou Qinglan glared at him angrily, calling him a blockhead, not smart at all, and not even able to say a word of sympathy.
She walked to Chen Tan with a distressed look on her face, "Why are you so severely burned? Xiao Tan'er, let me take you to the hospital."
Chen Tan forced himself to suppress the irritation in his heart and pretended to laugh cheerfully.
"Madam, I'm the doctor who's here to treat Mr. Shang's burns. Why would I be afraid of such a minor injury? I'll just go back and apply some medicine."
Seeing that she was so badly injured but could still smile, Zhou Qinglan liked her more and more.
"It's all my fault. I troubled you to come all the way here to make medicine for Yuantang. Next time, bring two more packets of medicine and we can make it ourselves so you don't have to come all the way here yourself."
Since the boy doesn't like the girl, she naturally won't force the two of them to be together.
Such a capable girl, the worst that could happen is that she would adopt her as her goddaughter.
Chen Tan was depressed. She didn't want to come here, but this medicine was not blessed by the spiritual spring water. It was just an ordinary medicine and could not achieve the expected effect.
"It doesn't matter. I'm so short. I can grow taller by riding my bike more."
Zhou Qinglan was amused by her words and raised his hand to touch her smooth hair. "You, why are you so caring?"
Shang Yuantang, who came down from upstairs to get the medicine, raised the corner of his lips slightly and handed the jar over. "Apply the medicine. I'll ask Guo Tingyu to take you back."
He took the white ointment that Chen Tan had made. Chen Tan looked at the medicine and his face turned red. Damn, you really have a serious illness.
"No, the medicine is ready. I'm leaving now."
Chen Tan took her hands out of the basin, picked up her basket, and ran away without looking back.
Zhou Qinglan chased after him for two steps, but when he couldn't catch up, he turned back and twisted his son's arm tightly, "You little brat, do you have a pig's brain?"
"That's enough. I won't chase you!" Shang Yuantang scolded, "If you try to force me again, I won't treat you."
"I'm so angry, you blockhead, is there nothing inside? You're such a fool, you deserve to never get married. I don't care about you anymore."
Zhou Qinglan was so angry that she turned around and went back to her bedroom.
Shang Yuantang, who was inexplicably scolded, went to the kitchen with the medicine, poured out the medicine soup in the medicine jar, and carried it upstairs.
Thinking that he had not eaten, Aunt Xu had no choice but to serve him a bowl of egg noodles.
Seeing him sitting at the desk, staring at the empty medicine bowl, he said softly.
“Comrade Shang, Comrade Shen is a young girl. If you give her this medicine, isn’t that humiliating her?”
"What's the meaning?"
Shang Yuantang looked at Aunt Xu, wondering how he had humiliated her.
It was clearly she who said that this medicine was the most precious, and after he used it, it really worked.
After applying it more than twenty times, his skin there returned to normal, as if he had never been burned.
Aunt Xu's face turned red. Comrade Zhou was right in scolding her. He was really a fool.
"Think about this medicine, where did you apply it?"
The medicine made by the girl was specifically for application to private parts, but you gave it to her to apply on her hands, and it was something you had used before. Any normal person would feel embarrassed.
