Ye Nuan wasn't that curious. After finishing up here, she hurried home to cook.
Ye Nuan had just finished cooking the dishes when Gu Hanchuan returned.
"You saved Zhang Haifeng's youngest son?"
"Not really. I just happened to be there first, and they cleaned the wound, stopped the bleeding, and bandaged it up simply."
"Yes. On my way back, I passed by the clinic and saw Old Zhang and his wife arguing fiercely."
Ye Nuan paused for a moment and then explained that she hadn't seen Zhai Hua until she left.
"This Mrs. Zhai is becoming more and more outrageous. I heard that she spends all her time thinking about picking up bargains at the scrap metal recycling station, and she doesn't even care about her children anymore."
"what?"
Ye Nuan found these words strange.
Who goes to scrap yards every day to pick up bargains?
Gu Hanchuan couldn't help but laugh.
Ye Nuan glared at him: "Hurry up and say it!"
Gu Hanchuan laughed for a while before saying, "It seems that Sister Tian Guihua got a desk from the scrap metal recycling station. It was cheap and worked well. It just so happens that Old Zhang's eldest son is starting school, so he thought he would get a desk for him too."
The rest is self-explanatory; Ye Nuan already knew what was going on.
That means Zhai Hua is a bit out of control.
This kind of thing can't happen every day!
The next morning, Zhang Haifeng brought over a dozen eggs and two cans of malted milk powder, saying he wanted to thank Ye Nuan for giving his son first aid the day before and for helping to reset his son's left hand.
"Commander Zhang, you're too kind. It's nothing serious. We all live in the same compound. I can't just stand by and do nothing."
“That’s different. You must accept this gift as a token of our gratitude! Otherwise, we’ll really feel bad. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll keep the eggs, but you can take this malted milk powder back with you. The child is injured and needs nutrition right now.”
"No need, we have some at home."
Commander Zhang's salary is one level higher than Gu Hanchuan's, so if he only needs to support his family's food and drink, he naturally won't have to worry about anything.
Moreover, at their compound's supply station, many things don't require coupons, making it more cost-effective than buying them outside.
Gu Hanchuan took the things from Ye Nuan on her behalf: "Alright, then we'll accept them. But we still need to keep a close eye on the children and prevent them from climbing high places again."
"You bet! That kid's got guts! This fall will teach him a lesson."
Men think about problems from a different perspective and with a different logic than women, which women cannot understand.
I always feel that if such a small child falls, bleeds, and breaks bones, I must pamper and care for them.
But the men think that boys need to be toughened up, otherwise they won't amount to anything!
Ye Nuan had to walk out of the compound to catch the bus. When she was almost at the gate, she saw Liu Lihua.
And judging from his appearance, it seemed like he had come specifically to wait for her.
"Is something wrong?"
Liu Lihua's expression was very unnatural. After fidgeting for a moment, she still said in a low voice, "I'm sorry about what happened before. I hope we can get along peacefully in the future."
Ye Nuan had no objection to this.
She never had any romantic feelings for Wu Xingbang. She even wished she could take him back to his hometown and make him take off his military uniform!
The problem is, she can't do it now.
"We're all from Anshi. Let me remind you, do you know how much Wu Xingbang earns a month? You've just arrived here and don't have a job yet. Your life as a married couple is all about daily necessities. You're his wife, so you should know where his money goes, right?"
Liu Lihua looked confused: "What do you mean?"
"Wu Xingbang had a childhood sweetheart, and I heard he often sent her money. This caused quite a stir at the machine factory back then. My parents both worked at the machine factory, so that's how I heard about it. If you're smart, remember to keep control of the family finances. Anyway, that's all I'll say. Believe it if you want, or don't if you don't!"
Ye Nuan didn't dare to be too explicit. Who knew if Liu Lihua would confront Wu Xingbang directly?
Moreover, Ye Nuan dared to say these things because this incident did indeed happen at the machinery factory, and Fang Datong also knew that Bai Ge had asked other men for money.
Ye Nuan felt no remorse for stirring up trouble behind the scenes. She even hoped that Liu Lihua and Wu Xingbang would break up. Wu Xingbang and that bitch Bai Ge should be locked together for life!
Since this scumbag and his slut claim to be in true love, why do they go and harm others?
Ye Nuan's mood was not calm throughout the journey.
However, Liu Lihua and Wu Xingbang's marriage should be a done deal, so she only needs to worry about her own life now. At least after getting married, Wu Xingbang will be careful to avoid suspicion from her, which is at least somewhat beneficial.
Ye Nuan now has a medical license, so on her day off, Friday, she thought she would go up the mountain to see if she could dig up some medicinal herbs.
These mountains and rivers are now national resources, and Ye Nuan needs to obtain the consent of the nearby village officials before she can go up the mountain.
After examining Ye Nuan's identification, the captain looked her up and down and asked, "Are you sure you can handle this, you're just a young girl?"
"Don't worry, I won't go deep into the mountains. Our hospital is also short of medicinal herbs right now, so I have no choice but to go up the mountain myself to see if there's anything usable. Of course, if our brigade has any medicinal herbs, I can take a look, and if it's what we need, I can accept them on behalf of the hospital."
The captain's eyes lit up: "Are you serious?"
"How could it be fake? But the quality of these medicinal herbs must be up to standard."
"Don't worry, we know what's going on."
The brigade leader also believed that people who live near mountains should live off the mountains, and people who live near water should live off the water.
Over the years, the commune members have been digging up wild vegetables and medicinal herbs, which they usually sell to purchasing stations in addition to their own household use.
However, the price offered by the purchasing station was not high.
Moreover, medicinal herbs, though they may look like a large pile, are actually very light in weight, especially the dried kind, which has almost no weight at all.
That would be great if we could take him directly to the hospital.
The brigade leader felt that if he could establish such a connection, it would be a practical thing for the villagers.
Ye Nuan was carrying some tools, including a shovel and a small hoe, and there was also a basket hanging on the handlebars.
Once Ye Nuan got up the mountain, her eyes couldn't take it all in. There were so many kinds of herbs here, some of which Ye Nuan had only seen in books and had never seen in person. She dug them up and transplanted them into her own space as she went.
Ye Nuan's idea was actually very simple: that she wouldn't be without medicine if she needed it in the future!
After inspecting the medicinal herbs at the brigade's location, Ye Nuan was quite satisfied: "Okay, I'll ask about the prices of the herbs when I get to work tomorrow, and then come back to tell you after get off work. I need to write down the types of herbs now. Is that alright, Brigade Leader?"
Just as the captain was about to nod, an old man with one eye rushed out angrily: "No way! It was agreed that it was to be delivered to the purchasing station. How could you give it to someone else on your own, Captain? This is unauthorized trading. I'm going to report you!"
