“Bah!”

Holding her cheek that had just been pinched by Lu Ze, Lin Suisui looked hatefully at the man who was laughing happily, and spat.

He really knew how to flatter himself!

She was just curious. She wouldn’t get jealous over him!

Seeing that Lu Ze had walked away, Lin Suisui hurriedly quickened her pace. “Wait for me! Didn’t we agree that you would wait for me wherever you go in the future?! You liar!”

The two of them walked quickly and naturally didn’t have the time to care about the Du sisters, who were crying in embarrassment behind them.

After all, no matter what, with Lu Ze’s words today, any young lady who still had the slightest sense of dignity probably wouldn’t come looking for him after suffering such embarrassment.

However, it turned out that they were too simple-minded.

When they set up camp the next day, the two sisters actually appeared in front of them again. However, this time, not only were there some women who looked familiar, but even Mrs. Luo and the others were not far away.

Lin Suisui had been going up the mountain with Lu Ze recently, so Mrs. Luo and the others didn’t ask her to join them. However, there were only so many places to go around the camp. For safety’s sake, most of the women would choose to gather together now.

Initially, Lin Suisui didn’t intend to delay any longer. Mrs. Luo seemed to have the same thoughts as her. She only nodded and smiled at Lin Suisui before lowering her head to get busy.

On the other hand, Mrs. He stopped her. “Madam Liu, are you planning to enter the mountain together?!”

“Yes.” Lin Suisui nodded. She didn’t avoid this intrusive question. “With my husband.”

“It’s so dangerous in the mountains. Why don’t you stay with me?! Anyway, it’s just for a short while. Even if you don’t keep an eye on him, your man won’t be able to escape!”

When women reached an age, they would become more shrewish and teasing, especially towards women like Lin Suisui, who had just gotten married. They didn’t shy away from jokes.

As soon as Mrs. He said this, the surrounding women echoed and laughed.

“That’s right. No matter how powerful your man is, he’ll be restrained if he brings you along when hunting in the mountains! You might as well stay with us and save yourself the trouble of running so far!”

It was obvious that they had kind intentions.

“Madam Liu, actually, everyone wants you to stay this time because of their own selfish motives.” Without waiting for Lin Suisui to explain, Du Miao’er suddenly looked at her sincerely. “Everyone knows that you’re proficient in medicine. We were saved because of your good medical skills.

The further north we go, the colder the weather becomes. We were wondering if you could teach us about some herbs that can ward off the cold. This way, we can boil some herbs on a daily basis. If we really catch a cold, we won’t have to panic!”

It had to be said that Du Miao’er had found a perfect excuse this time.

From the perspective of others, she was doing this for everyone’s benefit. Therefore, as soon as she said this, she naturally gained their support.

Lin Suisui nodded and replied straightforwardly, “Okay.” She turned around and glanced at Lu Ze to reassure him. Then, she took the basket containing Little White and handed it to Lu Ze to let him go up the mountain first.

Du Miao’er was surprised that Lin Suisui agreed so readily.

She originally thought that based on Lin Suisui’s wariness and disgust towards her, if she had mentioned this matter, Lin Suisui definitely wouldn’t agree so readily.

If Lin Suisui didn’t agree, she would have something to say next!

Unfortunately…

“It’s good for everyone to prepare some of these herbs. This way, even if we reach the northern base, we can sell them to the pharmacy and exchange them for some money.”

Lin Suisui didn’t give Du Miao’er a chance to show off. Who didn’t know how to act like the good guy?!

Since this chance was given to her, why should others benefit from it?!

Things indeed progressed as Lin Suisui had expected. The women, who were originally grateful to Du Miao’er, couldn’t care less now. They ignored Du Miao’er and her sister. Afraid that they would miss her explanation of the herbs, they tried their best to squeeze to Lin Suisui’s side.

Recognizing the herbs wasn’t enough. They had to know how to dig for them as well.

No matter what herb it was, keeping the entire herb intact was key, especially when it came to roots. It was even more important that they didn’t ruin it.

Lin Suisui was serious about teaching them, so she explained in detail. She also answered the women’s questions about herbs amiably and politely. She looked gentle and easy to get along with.

Lin Suisui’s conduct naturally gained the good impression of most women. Without the alleged sense of distance, the real her easily dispelled the negative rumors about her.

However, Lin Suisui’s actions naturally caused some people to feel indignant.

Mrs. He rolled her eyes and thought of the rumors she had heard about the plague. Then, she reached out and pushed aside the crowd around Lin Suisui as she leaned forward and asked in a raised voice, “Madam Liu, you’ve contributed greatly to ending the plague!

Didn’t the officials above say that they would give you some rewards?!”

Madam He had found a good opportunity to interrupt.

If she mentioned this topic while everyone was feeling exceptionally grateful to Lin Suisui, it was easy for them to resonate with her! According to the news that the He family’s sister-in-law had heard, Madam Liu had received a huge reward this time!

If she said that there was no reward this time, she would be able to encourage everyone to ask those officials for a reward for her. At that time, she would see how Lin Suisui would deal with it!

However, if she said that there was a reward this time, she could also ask about how much she had obtained this time! No matter how much it was, she would still have a way to cause trouble!

“The higher-ups said that there will be a reward.” Lin Suisui raised her eyes slightly and looked at Mrs. He with a faint smile. There was a hint of understanding in her eyes. Of course, she understood that Mrs. He definitely had ill intentions when asking this question, so she didn’t intend to take it lying down. “However, it’s said that this kind of thing can only be decided after reporting to the officials. If you’re curious about what the reward is, why don’t you ask Mr. Pei yourself?!”
