Ran He's tone was calm, but inadvertently, her eyes gently swept across Su Lanfen, who seemed flustered and helpless beside her. Her calmness and composure seemed like an elegant review of her previous experience.

Her impression of the drugstore had plummeted because of that snobbish clerk.

Su Lanfen saw the shopkeeper rushing over and anxiously asking Ran He if he was willing to sell the herbs, and she was stunned.

The shopkeeper hasn't been so anxious for a long time. Could it be that the herbs in Ran He's basket are really rare treasures?

This thought was like a huge rock pressing on her heart, hard to let go. The smile she forced out was more bitter than crying.

"Shopkeeper, this is a distant relative of ours. She has been idle all day since she got married. I don't know where she got these herbs from. If we accept them, we might get into trouble!"

Su Lanfen tried her best to justify her behavior, but her tone was somewhat powerless.

"Hey, I have never met you before and our friendship is shallow. You are too rash to make such a conclusion based on your little understanding of me. It just so happens that you are worried about the possible trouble, and I actually have no intention of selling this batch of medicinal materials. It seems that our ideas coincide. Shopkeeper, you don't need to waste your breath trying to keep me."

Ran He retorted with a hint of sharpness in his tone, but still politely.

Su Lanfen gritted her teeth when she heard this. Although she remained silent on the surface, the turmoil in her heart was difficult to calm down.

She firmly believed that something was fishy. After all, her aunt had never mentioned that Ran He had done research on medicinal herbs. There must be some secret hidden behind this. Those seemingly ordinary herbs must not be let go easily!

The shopkeeper at this time had no time to care about anything else. He couldn't wait to get closer to Ran He and carefully examine the herbs in the basket.

Upon first glance, he found that the quality of these herbs far exceeded his expectations, and the surprise in his heart surged like a spring tide.

If not for the recent appearance of a prominent figure in the town.

As the patient was in urgent need of precious medicinal herbs for recuperation, the shopkeeper might be able to maintain his usual composure and slowly discuss the matter with Ran He.

But now, this big shot is not only willing to provide double remuneration for suitable medicinal materials, but also has generous additional rewards as incentives. All the drugstores and clinics in the town are very busy because of this.

Almost all the precious medicinal herbs were collected just to win the favor of that big shot.

In this tense atmosphere, the story of Chapter 52 quietly unfolds - "If you can't keep people, you should quit your job."

For a time, whether it was a drugstore or a medical clinic, in addition to daily operations, all their attention was focused on collecting high-quality medicinal materials. As long as the goods were of some value, they would be quickly packed and sent to the residence of that important person.

According to rumors, this big shot's generosity was astonishing.

Anyone who sent in herbs or tonics would be richly rewarded.

The store's stock, which was already limited, was now almost gone.

The herbs in Ran He's backpack were extraordinary at first glance and were undoubtedly top-quality products that could attract the attention of that important person.

"Whatever misunderstanding there is between you and this girl, apologize to her immediately and correct your mistake! If this batch of herbs cannot be collected, your position will end here!"

The shopkeeper's voice revealed an unquestionable determination.

Su Lanfen was shocked. Were Ran He's herbs really that valuable? The shopkeeper was desperate to keep them, even threatening his job? Her legs went weak. Although she wanted to ask Ran He about the origins of these herbs, her mind told her that now was not the right time.

If I lose my job because I can't keep Ran He, it would be a loss.

What made her feel even more humiliated was that she had to bow down to someone she despised from the bottom of her heart.

This feeling is more unbearable than killing her directly.

"Ran...Ran He, whatever grudges we have, let's put them aside for now. We have decided to accept your herbs. Please come over here as soon as possible."

Su Lanfen forced a smile, thinking that if she took a step back, the sky would be clear, and Ran He should just quit while he was ahead.

However, she had never expected that the Ran He in front of her was no longer the little person who could be manipulated at will.

"Don't bother yourself. There is no grudge between you and me. How have I ever met you? As for the idea of ​​trying to curry favor with someone you know, forget it. What you said before is indeed reasonable. People should stick to their own pride and judgment. There is no need to force it. It doesn't matter who I sell my herbs to."

There was a sense of indifference in Ran He's words, as if everything was under control.

When Su Lanfen heard this, she was so angry that she almost crushed the abacus in her hand.

This Ran He really doesn't know her place. She has already lowered herself to this extent, what else does she want?

Aren't you really afraid that I will go to my aunt and complain and expose her background?

The shopkeeper's face was gloomy, like a sky covered with dark clouds.

Every wrinkle on his face hides the sorrow and reluctance for the loss of gold and silver.

That expression was as if he had witnessed piles of silver turning into water, slipping silently through his fingers without leaving any trace.

Su Lanfen's heart suddenly sank, as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer, and the anger caused by the misunderstanding disappeared in an instant.

Reason told her that the most urgent task was to stabilize Ran He. Otherwise, she would lose this decent job with a stable income. When she returned home, she would inevitably face the disappointed and helpless looks of her parents, which was a kind of mental pressure heavier than any punishment.

She quickly put on a smile, trying to save the situation with her insignificant family relationship: "Ran He, maybe you don't know, my aunt is your mother-in-law, there is some blood relationship between us. In this small town, we meet each other every day, you can't be so cruel to be so indifferent to your own relatives, right?"

Hearing this, Ran He curled up a faint smile, and that smile seemed to contain the wisdom of seeing through everything.

It turns out that Su Lanfen has this connection with Wu's mother.

No wonder the sarcasm and harshness are so similar, as if they were printed from the same mold.

"Alas, it's too late to mention Wu's mother. Just yesterday, I drew a clear line between myself and the Wu family. Not only did we split up the family, but we also gave up the so-called relationship. From now on, the Wu family will have their own Yangguan Road, and I, Ran He, will walk my own single-plank bridge. We don't interfere with each other. Tell me, who do I need to stay for now?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue to Su Lanfen.

She was so shocked that she felt dizzy and confused. For a moment, she didn't know how to react.

Ran He, that weak woman, actually broke with the powerful Wu family?
