After the two finished talking, Mother Fu nagged her not to worry too much about Father Fu. Then she planned to return to the hospital.
Fu Qi also planned to go back with her. As soon as he heard that He Wen had disappeared today, he immediately took a leave. However, Mother Fu disagreed with him going back with her and asked him to stay here to help take care of the children.
After seeing off Mother Fu, Fu Qi was still on the ground with He An and the others, drawing something with branches.
Thinking about her own plans, Fu Yuling didn’t mention them to him for the time being.
No one would believe in empty promises before any action was taken.
Moreover, she didn’t want to give people hope and then disappoint them.
With Fu Qi here, Fu Yuling felt reassured.
Thinking of Luo Xiao, they made an agreement that he would come to see her today, but she didn’t see anyone, so she decided to go by herself.
In the meantime, she could exchange some money with the herbs she had in hand.
After saying a few words to Fu Qi, Fu Yuling changed her clothes before leaving.
All the clothes were in bright red and purple colors. The colors themselves were decent, but the combination of several colors was overly gaudy.
Now she was wearing a dress that she had modified herself. The long skirt reached her ankles, and she had sewn the waist part again, highlighting her waist even more.
The original owner’s appearance and figure were not bad at all. With her hair tied up, her whole aura was instantly revealed.
Walking on the street, the number of people turning their heads to look at her was several times more than before.
She arrived at the previous medical clinic, and it was still deserted inside.
Western medicine was gradually being introduced in the country, and fewer people were coming to get Chinese medicine. First, collecting herbs and making decoctions was time-consuming and laborious. Second, a larger quantity was usually required, and although the price wasn’t high, not everyone could afford to buy it frequently.
Compared to the smell of hospitals, Fu Yuling preferred the fragrant medicinal herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine.
The people inside immediately noticed Fu Yuling at a glance, and a look of astonishment flashed in their eyes. As soon as they recognized her, they hurried over.
“Please have a seat, I’ll call the boss over.”
Fu Yuling quickly stopped him. “No need, today I only brought some simple herbs. I don’t want to trouble your boss.”
Fu Yuling remembered that this person was called Xiao Li. He stopped in his tracks upon hearing her words and hesitated. “Should we chat inside?”
She waved her hand. Today, she only brought some ordinary herbs, so there was no need to be so cautious.
“No need, right here is fine.”
Xiao Li opened the things she brought over. Inside were some herbs. Xiao Li took a glance and saw that they were indeed ordinary. However, the herbs she brought were the ones they were currently lacking in the clinic.
This made Xiao Li look at her a few more times. When he first saw her, she wasn’t particularly eye-catching, but now she would be probably the first person to be noticed in a crowd.
“I brought these because I noticed that you were running low on them before.”
Fu Yuling explained, guessing what he was thinking.
After leaving last time, she had thoroughly observed the clinic, so she was confident that what she brought over today would satisfy the other party.
“These add up to a total of two hundred. If you double it, it’s four hundred.”
Xiao Li quickly calculated, went to the counter to take the money, and handed it to Fu Yuling.
“Please check it. If it’s correct, I’ll take these to the back and grind them.”
Fu Yuling was a bit surprised when she heard this. “Did you prepare all these in the store?”
Although she could smell a strong herbal fragrance on this man, she thought it was because he had been staying here for a long time.
Sure enough, people cannot be judged by their appearance.
This sentence appeared in her mind after Xiao Li nodded.
After confirming the money was correct, Fu Yuling became interested in the grinding tools on his side.
“I wonder if I could take a look at the grinding tools. Would it be too much of a bother?”
