When Old Man Sun's son and his wife rushed back home, a sumptuous lunch had already been served on the table, and the small courtyard was crowded with people, including several children.

Seeing their father happily arranging tables, chairs and benches, the couple timidly came up behind him and asked in a low voice: "Dad, what's going on? Who are these people?"

Among the group of people, they were only familiar with Doctor Dou, who had been visiting their home frequently recently, and they didn't know anyone else.

Before Old Man Sun could answer, Xiao Haier had already left Xiao Shiba and the others who were playing with him, and rushed over like a cannon, throwing himself into his mother's arms, raising his little face and saying happily, "My mother, Grandpa Dou brought the young lady who recovered from her injury here today, and the brothers and sisters also made a lot of delicious food."

Hearing this, the couple was stunned for a moment, then looked at each other. They were not unfamiliar with the injured young lady. Some time ago, his son was seriously ill, and Old Man Sun had to carry the herbs at home to the capital to exchange money for a doctor. Unexpectedly, he took the doctor home before the herbs were sold.

The doctor, who spoke with a foreign accent, simply felt the patient's pulse and prescribed a decoction. The son, who had fainted from fever, woke up in less than an hour, which put their doubts to rest.

Before they could be happy, the messenger found their home and left in a hurry along with their father. Later they found out that the daughter of Doctor Dou was assassinated in Fuzhou and was seriously injured and unconscious.

Without saying anything, Old Man Sun sent all the herbs that could be used at home to Xiao Haier overnight. Many of them were treasured by the family for many years and were prepared to be left to Xiao Haier in the future. Sun Li secretly complained about this. What did the father and son of the Sun family say at that time?

"Everyone will encounter difficulties, and we should help as much as we can. Besides, didn't Doctor Dou come to our house and cure Xiao Hai'er without saying a word?"

"We can look for more herbs and plant them again when they are gone. But if something happens to that young lady because we didn't help in time, my father will never be at peace for the rest of his life."

Faced with these two stubborn father and son, Sun Li could only sulk in private and let them do whatever they wanted.

Thinking of this, Sun Li couldn't help feeling embarrassed and her face slowly turned red.

Mr. Dou, who was sitting not far away, saw the couple and greeted them naturally as if he didn't notice their embarrassment: "Hey, grandsons, you two come over here. I, an old man, would like to introduce my young lady to you. I want to introduce you to her. I want to introduce you to her."

Hearing this, Meixiang first stood up slowly, smiled and nodded, saying: "Brother Sun, Sister Sun, thank you for taking care of me during this period. These are my brothers and some children at home. It's a rare good day, so I took them out for a walk. Sorry to bother you today."

"Where, where."

"Miss, you are so polite, so polite!"

The eldest brother of the Sun family blushed and waved his hands repeatedly while speaking with a simple and honest look. The eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family raised her head slightly and secretly looked up and down at Meixiang. The color of the clothes was a simple and elegant pearl white. She couldn't tell the texture of the material, but it was certain that it was completely different from what ordinary people like them wore.

Her face was cute and lovely, but her complexion was not very good, with a hint of paleness as if she had just recovered from a serious illness. The smile on her face was both friendly and not too intimate. Seeing this, the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family lowered her head and did not dare to continue.

Meixiang calmly winked at the mistress standing beside her, then smiled at the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family and said, "I have used a lot of your herbs during this period, and the New Year is coming soon. Use this hundred taels of silver to buy Xiao Haizi a new set of clothes and some New Year's goods."

Hearing this, Old Man Sun, who was busy making arrangements at the side, first became anxious, "Miss, this can't be allowed. Doctor Dou not only cured Xiao Hai'er's illness, but also taught us how to grow herbs and helped us dig a lot of herbs from the mountain. We didn't even have time to thank you."

"If I take the money from the young lady now, wouldn't that be embarrassing for me?" Old man Sun stared with his eyes, his face flushed, and his hands shaking like a mechanical clock that could not stop.

Seeing that the two sides were at an impasse, Mr. Dou said impatiently, "Old man Sun, don't refuse it anymore. Since it is a token of the young lady's kindness, you should accept it. Just think of it as a meeting gift and New Year's money for Xiao Haier."

Having seen how generous Meixiang was in giving away hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to other people, this hundred taels of silver was just like a drizzle and was not worth mentioning.

But Mr. Dou forgot that this hundred taels was enough for Old Man Sun's family to live on for ten or even fifteen years. That's why they refused again and again and dared not take it.

"Okay, okay, just take it. There will be many places where you will need to spend money later. Besides, the young lady really doesn't need this hundred taels." Mr. Dou stood up and took the silver note in the mistress's hand and stuffed it into the hands of the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family.

Then he continued to yell, "Everyone, please take a seat and eat. Can't you see that the children are hungry?"

If money can solve a problem, never use favors. Money can be calculated, but favors cannot be calculated. This is another principle that Meixiang follows when dealing with things outside.

She used the herbs from Old Man Sun's house. According to Mr. Dou's description, Old Man Sun and his son were indeed good at growing herbs, and Fuzhou Prefecture was indeed suitable for growing some herbs that could not be grown in Liuzhou Prefecture. The two states could form effective complementarity in herbs in the future.

What is done is done. If the Sun family accepts this banknote, the business between Liuzhou Prefecture and the Sun family will only be business. Especially after seeing the behavior of the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family, Meixiang became more determined in her thoughts.

Mr. Dou also guessed a few points, and with the help of Situ Yidong, Chu Zeming, and even he received the look from Feng Yizheng, which led to what happened just now.

Old man Sun looked at the banknotes tightly clenched in the hand of his daughter-in-law, and his mind turned for a few minutes. He also guessed the intentions of Meixiang and the others to a certain extent. He sighed secretly, smiled and invited everyone to take a seat, thus successfully getting over the matter.

After lunch, looking at the posture of Meixiang and her group, Old Man Sun knew that the highlight of the day was about to begin.

Old Man Sun first sent his daughter-in-law and the children to take a nap. "I was born in the countryside and have never seen much of the world, but fortunately I am a down-to-earth person with a loyal nature. I can live a peaceful life. I am sorry to have embarrassed you all today."

Meixiang looked at Old Man Sun and smiled without saying anything. They had no right to ask about other people's family affairs, so Old Man Sun talked and they just listened.
