Some people discussed privately that Ran He's behavior today was very different from usual, as if he had completely broken free from his shackles and became unrestrained.

But what kind of story is hidden behind this sudden change?

There are many different opinions and no one can give a definite answer.

It was not until later, when people finally learned that Ran He had resolutely drawn a line between himself and the Wu family and set up his own business, that their previous doubts were suddenly cleared up.

"Sister He, don't you think Ran He handled this matter a little strangely? First, he generously treated Zhu Cuihua and the others to a banquet to taste rabbit meat, and then he chartered a bullock cart to travel alone. This style and financial resources don't seem to be acquired overnight. Are you sure that Ran He really had nothing to take with him when the family was divided?"

This sudden question made the usually eloquent mother Wu stunned. This was indeed a corner that she had never thought deeply about.

Although the flow of family wealth never passed through Ran He's hands, she ignored the complexity and uncertainty of human hearts.

At this moment, she was filled with remorse. If time could go back, she would definitely advocate a rigorous search, even if she had to dig three feet into the ground, to find every inch of copper coins that Ran He might have hidden.

"Who knows where all that money came from? Speaking of which, the disputes between her and Ma Er are confusing enough, and the disgraceful things she did are enough to fill a book. The source of this money is really suspicious. I don't want to get involved in this unclear wealth. If I don't use it properly, it might cause some trouble!"

Wu's mother deliberately exaggerated the situation. Since she couldn't get any benefits from Ran He, she at least wanted her to bear some pressure from public opinion.

She cleverly threw a time bomb, waiting for it to explode in the hearts of the villagers.

When they return to the village, the news will naturally spread like wildfire. By then, it will depend on how Ran He deals with this storm.

On the other side, Ran He had quietly entered a narrow alley.

From the mysterious space that belonged only to her, she carefully took out twenty precious herbs with plump roots covered with moist soil and gently put them into the backpack.

Her plan was to find a clinic or herbal medicine shop somewhere in the town.

Exchange these gifts from nature for real money to prepare for emergencies, especially to purchase some daily household items.

After all, although the exchange system within the space is convenient, the speed of accumulating points is far less direct and effective than silver.

She secretly vowed that when she had time in the future, she would research how many points other materials could be exchanged for.

Soon, Ran He stood in front of a brightly lit drugstore.

Inside the store, the young clerk and the accountant were busy.

Ran He placed the heavy backpack directly on the polished counter, with a barely perceptible expectation in his words.

"Excuse me, does your shop buy herbs?"

The female waitress who was dozing off suddenly woke up and responded almost reflexively: "Collect!"

However, the moment she saw who was coming, her face suddenly turned gloomy, and her eyes flashed with contempt and disdain.

"Ran He? Why is it you?"

Ran He was confused. She searched her memory, but found that the woman opposite her was a complete stranger.

However, it is not difficult to infer from each other's attitude that there may be some unpleasant history between them.

"Huh? Is there a problem?"

"Why don't you stay at the Wu family and come here? The pharmacy is not a place for people like you. If you want to cause trouble, you'd better leave as soon as possible, otherwise I will ask the servants in the store to kick you out!"

This woman named Su Lanfen is Wu's mother's niece.

He often visits the Su family, but due to fate, he rarely has the opportunity to come into direct contact with Ran He.

However, that chance opportunity allowed her to witness the dispute between Ran He and Ma Er, and she also heard many negative comments about Ran He from Wu's mother. So, naturally, she also had an indescribable disgust towards Ran He.

In her opinion, how could an idler who had only known how to take things from the Wu family for a long time possibly get real herbs to sell?

Even if there is, it should be her aunt who comes forward.

Therefore, what Ran He had in his hand were most likely some common weeds, and he was just trying to fool people with them!

As a hard-working clerk in a pharmacy, she knows the importance of maintaining the store and ensuring smooth daily operations.

This sense of responsibility drove her to stand up and protect the shopkeeper from those outsiders who might interfere with normal business.

Moreover, if she could take this opportunity to perform well, she might even win extra favor and rewards from the shopkeeper. This thought made her more determined to take action.

As for the other guy, his eyes lit up when he heard that there were fresh herbs for sale.

He was looking forward to adding some rare items to the store, but Su Lanfen's cold words instantly extinguished his enthusiasm.

He wondered in his heart which distant relative was trying to take advantage of the situation.

Forget it, let the smart and capable Su Lanfen handle this matter, otherwise the shopkeeper will see it and complain that they are not doing their job and wasting their time on these trivial matters.

Ran He sneered softly at the side, secretly sighing that he was unlucky. He randomly chose a pharmacy and ran into a familiar face.

It seemed that the other party's memory was still stuck on the original owner's identity, and she was completely unaware of the fact that she had completely parted ways with the Wu family.

Well, originally I just wanted to test the waters of this pharmacy, not intending to do business here.

Since they have no intention of acquiring the company, then just change to another one.

After all, there are so many pharmacies in this town, there is no need to hang yourself on a tree.

"Are you sure you don't want to accept my herbs? I advise you to ask the shopkeeper to come and take a look in person, otherwise you will regret missing out on some good stuff in the future."

There was some deep meaning in Ran He's words, but unfortunately Su Lanfen, who was eager to draw conclusions, did not savor the meaning of them. She just regarded them as empty words intended to defraud. Her face immediately darkened and her attitude became more impatient.

"Stop talking nonsense here, or I'll call for help if you don't leave!"

Su Lanfen said sternly.

Ran He said nothing, but slowly put his herbs back into his bag and prepared to leave.

And at this subtle moment, another customer in the store noticed the movement here.

With curiosity and anticipation in his eyes, he walked quickly forward, looking like he couldn't contain himself.

"Miss, are you planning to sell your herbs?"

he asked eagerly.

Ran He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and calmly examined the visitor's dress and appearance, thinking to himself: It seems that he is a person with decision-making power. Su Lanfen was slapped in the face very loudly.

"No, to be more precise, it was the clerk in your store who refused and suggested that I go ask somewhere else. I have a strong sense of self-esteem, and since I am not welcome, I will naturally not bother you again in the future. That's it."
