"Betting on what now? Where has your mind gone? Don’t I still have so dicinal herbs in hand? I plan to sell them and exchange them for so silver."
Although there is still 90 taels of silver at present, there are still many things to be acquired.
How can I leave Luoyan Village in the future without silver close at hand? There’s also my clothes, it’s not decent to always wear this patched-up outfit. In addition, there’s that purple-clay pot, if I want to cultivate my Inner Strength, the saying goes "the poorer the scholar, the richer the warrior", the money spent on martial arts is not negligible...
Calculating it this way, Su Pan’er felt that she needed to work hard to make money!
However, why doesn’t it seem as certain as before when she thinks about leaving Luoyan Village?
I must be possessed!
Definitely.
Qin Yi’s face was much better looking: "You have to let accompany you to sell the dicinal herbs. There are so many bad people outside, I won’t be at ease if you go out alone. And, don’t talk about betting on drinks, how would it look if a woman like you actually got drunk at soone’s house!"
Qin Yi wanted to accompany her to sell the dicinal herbs, Su Pan’er had no objection to this.
But hearing his latter half, what did that an ...
"If you talk about betting on drinks, then just keep it at that. Why would you involve a woman in all this, are you asking for a beating?" She couldn’t help gesturing a fist at him.
Would he go off the rails if he wasn’t chastised every three days?
"You’re not a woman? Well, you don’t seem to look like a woman anywhere."
Qin Yi mumbled.
Is he belittling ? Su Pan’er looked annoyed, just about to retort, a surprised greeting suddenly ca from behind.
"Su Pan’er, I didn’t expect to encounter you again!"
Su Pan’er turned around and saw Zhou Ning holding his mother with one hand and a basket of offerings in the other, walking towards the Temple of the God of Earth.
Looking at his honest smiling face, his mouth opened so big, with a set of shiny white teeth that was particularly eye-catching.
"It’s you! You’ve co to offer incense too."
Su Pan’er smiled faintly and casually answered.
"Yes! Our Zhou family’s ancestral tomb is also on this mountain."
Zhou Ning lined up behind Su Pan’er.
His mother squinted in the direction of Su Pan’er, trying to see her clearly, she stretched out her withered hand, intending to grab her.
"Are you the maiden doctor who treated yesterday? My! What luck, to et you here. And let tell you, your dical skills are truly extraordinary! I only drank the dicine for one day, and I can clearly tell it’s much better than all those barefoot doctors’ skills ..."
Su Pan’er took two steps forward, and hurriedly helped Aunt Zhou to stand: "Aunt Zhou, don’t flatter , it’s just sothing I did at hand and it’s not worth praising."
In the prescriptions given to Aunt Zhou yesterday, there are several precious dicinal ingredients that benefit qi and blood. Those fifty-year-old wild mountain ginseng, two hundred-year-old lingzhi mushrooms and other such dical materials, all are priceless. If they can’t have an imdiate effect after being administered to treat her conditions, then it would be a waste of good dicine.
"It’s worth it, your dical skills absolutely worth it ..."
Aunt Zhou rambled on and on, holding her hand and praising her to the heavens.
Finally it was their turn to pay their respects. Su Pan’er hurriedly said goodbye to Aunt Zhou and escaped posthaste.
She’s way too enthusiastic, it’s suffocating!
Aunt Zhou, aided by Zhou Ning, headed towards the Zhou family’s ancestral tomb.
"Ning’er! Actually, so doctors have said before that my illness requires top-grade dicinal ingredients for treatnt, for it to possibly improve. I know it in my heart. That dicine the girl doctor gave was not ordinary dicine, it’s not sothing the pine resin you gave yesterday could cover. Since she didn’t ntion it to you, you should act like you don’t know. In the future, try to do a bit more for the doctor to properly thank her, understand?"
"Mother, Ning’er understands."
Zhou Ning nodded, looking in the direction Su Pan’er had gone, with an inexplicable excitent in his eyes.
When Su Pan’er and Qin Yi arrived at the Qin Family’s ancestral tomb, the Clan Leader and several Clan Elders had already arrived.
So clan mbers were busy cleaning up the weeds on the tomb, hanging up Qingming pendants, and inserting willow branches on the tomb.
Old Qin was busying himself on the tomb, Qin Yu and many of the younger Qin family mbers were present as well. Next to Old Qin, there was an extra middle-aged man who looked particularly shrewd.
"Second Brother..."
Qin Yi quickened his steps and greeted the middle-aged man.
"Younger Brother," the middle-aged man nodded, responding casually with an expressionless face.
Is he the second son of the Qin Family?
Su Pan’er glanced at Qin Xiao and hurried to Old Qin’s side, only to see two unexpected figures.
Unexpectedly, it was Mrs. Qin-Li and Mrs. Qin-Chen!
They were standing in front of the ancestral tomb, whispering to each other. Their figures were hidden behind the mound of the grave, which is why Su Pan’er and others hadn’t noticed them until now.
The faint smile on Qin Yi’s face was frozen: "Mother? Sister-in-law, why are you..."
Weren’t they supposed to be punished by the old Clan Leader, to face the wall in the ancestral hall for seven days, and not given food for two days?
Why are they here today?
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and suspicion in each other’s eyes.
"Hmph!"
Mrs. Qin-Li looked up, her eyes piercing Qin Yi’s: "They say having a son will provide for old age. Raising my sons to see them wish dead instead! Those heartless creatures, ignoring in the ancestral hall. Waiting for to fall into the eighteen layers of hell, never to be reincarnated..."
Such a poisonous curse!
Qin Yi and Su Pan’er’s expressions changed.
"Enough! What are you whining about? Don’t you know where we are? Do you want to kneel again in the ancestral hall for days and nights?" Old Qin scolded in a low voice, and continued to weeding.
Mrs. Qin-Li shrank back in fear when she saw this and dared not to speak again.
"Father, let help you."
Qin Yi quickly rolled up his sleeves and began to pull up the weeds.
Old Qin frowned, turning his face away when he saw Qin Yi arrive, without a word.
Qin Yi paused in his weeding, then redoubled his efforts.
He kept his head down, not speaking.
Su Pan’er watched all this quietly, moving over to Qin Yueshi’s side and helping to tear up the incense paper.
Mrs. Qin-Chen’s eyes were spinning, clearly with so thoughts in her mind.
Qín Wan’er looked smug!
The small handkerchief in her hand occasionally shook, and she was full of sneers.
Since she heard that Su Pan’er was a demon fairy causing her mother and sister-in-law to be confined to the ancestral hall, she had been very uneasy. Now that her own mother had returned safely, with old and new hatreds combined, if it wasn’t for her father being present, she would have jumped up and cursed long ago!
Qin Yueshi kept silent, barely daring to raise her brows while working.
Shuang’er did raise her head to look at her. Mrs. Qin-Li coughed heavily twice, which scared Shuang’er into hurrying to lower her head, not daring to speak any more.
The weed was quickly cleared, and the Qingming pendants and willow branches were all inserted properly. Seeing that it was almost ti for ancestral worship, Old Qin led everyone to the platform in the middle with a solemn look.
The clansn gathered around from the surrounding area, the entire process was utterly silent.
The Clan leader and the Clan elders had already been waiting for a long ti.
Seeing that everyone was in order, the Clan leader nodded in satisfaction, only then beginning to speak.
"Today is Qingming, and our Qin clan has been harmonious over the past year, with filial piety heralding from each family. Unfortunately, as Qingming approaches, so misfortune has occurred, with soone offending our ancestors in the ancestral hall! Everyone should take it as a warning!"
While speaking, the Clan Leader glanced at Old Qin for a few more tis, leaving Old Qin hanging his head low, not daring to lift it.
