Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

When Dong Jiafu went out in the morning, she saw Tian Dali standing at the door as soon as she opened the door.

She was surprised for a moment, "How long have Brother Tian been standing here? Why didn't you knock on the door?"

Tian Dali didn't always smile in front of her like he usually did. There was no smile on his face at the moment.

"I'm here to pay you back your money," Tian Dali took out the purse she gave to Sister-in-law Tian yesterday, "I don't work for you for the money."

The incident hurt him after all.

Dong Jiafu looked at him and explained: "I know, but apart from this, I have nothing to express my gratitude. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean any contempt. I first came here, thanks to the help of you and Sister-in-law Tian. A lot of fuss has been avoided. I’m really grateful to you.”

Tian Dali's face softened a little, "I understand, I will be careful in the future and will not embarrass you. But I can't accept this money no matter what. It's not easy for you to live alone. I am a man, how can I Take your money?”

"What's more, those things are all what I'm willing to do myself, and you didn't ask for them, so you don't need to pay me."

Tian Dali stretched out his hand and hesitated for a moment, as if he felt that it was not good to put the purse directly into Dong Jiafu's hand, and he was worried that she would not accept it. In desperation, he simply bent down and put the purse on the ground, then immediately stood up and walked away.

Dong Jiafu was stunned by his series of actions. Looking at his back, she couldn't help but laugh, thinking he was a bit cute.

After that, Tian Dali went to Dong Jiafun's house much less often. When he went there, he would be called by Sister-in-law Tian. After finishing his work, he would only drink a bowl of water before leaving.

He didn't accept money, so Dong Jiafu bought some fabrics

Make clothes for their families.

Perhaps he had delivered the right thing, and when he met Mrs. Tian on the road, he even talked to her warmly.

In this way, the relationship between Dong Jiafu and their family was finally restored to a harmonious neighborly relationship, and it was much more comfortable to interact with them.

Dong Jiafu also finished writing her first storybook and took it to the bookstore.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper of the book store still remembered her. When he saw her, he asked: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but the girl's friend has written a good storybook?"

"Let the shopkeeper do the talking," Dong Jiafu took out the script she had written word for word, "I'd be grateful if you could help me."

The shopkeeper took it and after flipping through a few pages, he looked a little excited.

He looked back some more, closed the book, and when he raised his head again, there wasn't much emotion on his face.

"The story is quite well written. How much money does the girl's friend want to sell it for?"

Dong Jiafu smiled slightly and said, "How much does the shopkeeper think it is worth?"

The shopkeeper took the storybook and thought for a while, "The words and sentences are a little immature, but the story is pretty good. I'll give you seventeen taels. What do you think, girl?"

He was seeing that she didn't understand the market and was lowering the price. In fact, Dong Jiafu could see his expression just now, and she had confidence in her words.

"Shopkeeper, please don't think that I'm a woman so you can deceive me. If you think this is worth seventeen taels, then I'm in the wrong place."

Dong Jiafu stretched out her hand and said, "Please give it back to me."

Her reaction surprised the shopkeeper, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. However, he had been doing business for many years, so he immediately smiled and said: "Girl, you are serious, how dare I lie to you. It's just that your friend is not famous, and the script he wrote at the beginning I can't give you much money

. "

He then added: "But I like this storybook very much, and I am willing to add more money to buy it. Thirty taels, if it sells well, I will give a higher price to the stories he writes in the future. What do you think, girl?"

The price was within Dong Jiafu's acceptable range. As he said, it was her first time writing a storybook. Although she was confident in the story, she really didn't know how many people she would like.

"Okay, just do as the shopkeeper says."

When the shopkeeper saw her promise, he happily took the money and gave it to her.

Tian Xiaojuan now runs to the hospital every two days, still under the guise of looking for Dong Jiafu, but after arriving, her eyes only focus on Tan Hao. As soon as Tan Hao heard that she was coming, he was like a mouse seeing a cat and hurriedly hid.

It happened that the two families were still somewhat related, so it was hard for Dr. Tan to be serious about it, so he could only tell her tactfully that it was not good for her to come here too often.

Tian Xiaojuan repeatedly promised not to disturb them, and would come again after a few days of silence.

That day, as soon as Dong Jiafu entered the hospital, she saw Tan Hao hurriedly going out.

"Where are you going, senior brother, so early?" Dong Jiafu joked, "Don't worry, Xiaojuan is not coming."

Tan Hao's face heated up, "Miss Dong, please stop making fun of me. I'm going to the mountains to collect herbs. I remember you said you wanted to learn to identify herbs in the wild, why don't you come with me?"

"Okay, senior brother, wait for me a moment. I'll go and talk to the master." Dong Jiafu went to the clinic to find Dr. Tan.

When Dr. Tan heard that she wanted to go collect medicine with Tan Hao, he nodded in agreement and took out a medicine bag from the drawer for her.

"It's summer now, and there are a lot of mosquitoes, snakes, and ants on the mountain. If you wear this on your body, those things won't dare to come near you.

body. "

Dong Jiafu happily took it and said, "Thank you, master. I happen to be afraid of them."

Dr. Tan waved his hand, "Go ahead, leave early and come back early."

"Hey." Dong Jiafu put the medicine bag on her waist and followed Tan Hao out the door.

They were in a county on the edge of Yangzhou, and the mountainous area bordering Yuezhou to the west.

Because he brought Dong Jiafu with him, Tan Hao deliberately chose a hilltop that was close to the distance and not too desolate.

Dong Jiafu followed Tan Hao and walked on the path at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by trees and grass, wild flowers everywhere, and the constant chirping of cicadas and birds.

"No wonder senior brother always likes to go outside to collect medicine. Just being in this environment makes people feel relaxed."

Tan Hao lifted the basket on his back and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't think about anything else when collecting herbs. I look for various herbs along the way. Time passes very quickly without realizing it."

Tan Hao became very talkative when talking about things he was interested in. "Especially when you can encounter rare herbs, that's the happiest time."

He liked these things from the bottom of his heart and was born to be a doctor.

Dong Jiafu looked up at the steep hillside and said, "Senior brother, don't just focus on collecting herbs. You must also pay attention to safety on the mountain."

"Don't worry, I'm used to it. A mountain like this is not too high for me."

They walked forward for a while, and Tan Hao turned back and said, "How about we look for herbs separately. If you are unsure, just call me. If I find herbs that are difficult to identify, I will ask you to see them."

"Yeah, okay." Dong Jiafu responded.

Tan Hao found a branch from the ground, "Take this and test it with the branch first where the grass is deep."

Dong Jiafu happily took it, "Senior brother has more experience."

Tan Hao smiled sheepishly and pointed to the hillside to the west, "Then I'll go over there."

After watching him walk up the hillside, Dong Jiafu turned around and walked up the mountain from the east.

The road up the mountain was difficult, so Dong Jiafu lowered his head and climbed up slowly while carefully looking for useful herbs. She had only seen the appearance of medicinal herbs in medical books, and then dried medicinal materials. She really wanted to know what the medicinal herbs growing in the ground looked like.

As the sun got higher, she wiped the sweat from her face and stopped to rest for a moment. But when she looked up, she suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something in the grass on her right side.

She looked up along the grass. Some shrubs were crushed, as if something was rolling down from above.
