Chapter 57 Criticism
"Hey, we are all from the same village, why do you have to be so harsh? Everyone has their own hard times, shouldn't we help each other? If you have the guts, don't even think about asking us for a hand in your lifetime."
Some people were pretentious and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"That's right, take a look. It won't cost you any meat. Are you afraid that we will eat your food?"
Another person echoed, his words full of disdain.
Ran He smiled contemptuously. She had no intention of tolerating those people who got angry and embarrassed when they encountered setbacks. She simply made things clear to prevent any shameless people from coming to harass her in the future.
"We heard that you were selling herbs in town, and we thought that since we are from the same village, the herbs you picked are also from our land. If there are herbs suitable for us, why don't we share them with us?"
These words came from a woman who was used to being on good terms with Wu's mother. She always liked to take advantage of small profits on weekdays, and she would not give up today because she failed to get what she wanted.
"Sure, as for the herbs, I'll sell them to you for five taels of silver per plant. Pay me."
Ran He still smiled, but his eyes were flickering with mockery and ridicule.
These herbs are meant to be traded. If they are willing to pay, the price can be negotiated; otherwise, it is better to ask them to find other jobs.
"Humph, your elders asked you for something, and you actually wanted to charge them. You really lack family education. Aren't the herbs you dug all from Wujia Village? You should be flexible. If you can't get along well with the villagers, I think your herbal medicine business will close down sooner or later."
Seeing that there was no profit to be made and receiving bad words, Ran He did not take these rumors to heart and responded calmly.
"Yes, it's good for herbs to grow on the land of Wujia Village, but if you have the ability to do it yourself and have enough food and clothing, why bother with me? Our relationship is not close enough to the extent of giving money and things to each other casually. Go and complain to whoever gave you the courage to think you can get benefits from me for free. I am a straightforward person and don't like beating around the bush to avoid trouble."
At the end of his words, Ran He's expression became stern and his eyes were sharp. It was time to let these women who were used to verbal battles experience his determination and the fact that he could not be underestimated.
"Oh my, you little girl, you don't listen to any good or bad words, you really don't know how to appreciate it!"
"You are a woman from another family, you married into Wujia Village, and now you have fallen out with the Wu family. You should have packed up your bags and gone back to your parents' home long ago, and stop being an eyesore here!"
"We in Wujia Village do not welcome people like you who violate ethical principles!"
Hearing this, Ran He raised a cold arc at the corner of his mouth: "First, Wu Xu and I have not officially broken off our engagement. Once we are married, we are bound by love for each other. I am still a member of Wu Village. Unless the village chief personally orders me to leave, what qualifications do you have to make comments? Your mouth is so dirty, be careful not to rot. Second, even if there is something wrong with me, how does it bother you? Does it affect your appetite for food, or prevent the sows in your pigsty from giving birth? In the final analysis, you are just narrow-minded."
Ran He, a modern soul who traveled through time from the 21st century, had a vast amount of vocabulary and knowledge in her mind. How could a woman of this era easily match this accumulation? Trying to get the slightest advantage from her in a verbal confrontation was simply a daydream and unrealistic.
"you you……"
Several women who tried to make things difficult were left speechless by Ran He's words, their cheeks flushed with shame and anger, their eyes flickered with unwillingness yet helplessness.
Ran He's words were like sharp arrows, hitting the vital points directly, leaving them with no way to refute and only with anger that had nowhere to vent.
After a fierce verbal battle, Ran He felt refreshed.
She gently held up her cheek with one hand and slightly closed her eyes, immersed in the tranquility of self-cultivation, unwilling to waste energy arguing with these trivial matters, knowing that in this strange era, retaining strength is the wise thing to do.
Along the way, although the women cast disdainful and contemptuous looks at her, Ran He turned a blind eye to them and strode forward with her heavy basket on her back without looking back. Her determination and pride seemed to tell everyone that her world did not need others' comments.
Finally, she stopped in front of the clinic run by Director Xu. As for the drugstore where Su Lanfen worked, Ran He had decided not to set foot inside. How Su Lanfen explained this series of twists and turns to her manager was her own business and had nothing to do with her.
On this day, the clinic was still bustling with patients.
Ran He moved through the crowd and soon found a busy medicine boy. He went straight to the point and expressed his intention to sell a batch of herbs.
The little medicine boy knew that he had no say in the matter, so he hurriedly called Director Xu over.
When Director Xu saw Ran He, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Recently, the clinic has been in great demand for medicinal materials due to the constant influx of patients, and the herbs that Ran He provided last time were of excellent quality. For this reason, he had great expectations for the goods that Ran He would bring this time.
"Hey, what good stuff did you bring today?"
Director Xu smiled widely, and his words were full of curiosity and expectation.
Ran He gently took off the backpack from her shoulders, which was filled with treasures she had discovered in the mysterious black land - those herbs were not only bright and attractive in color, but also of extraordinary age, revealing an indescribable aura and value.
Director Xu's satisfaction was almost beyond words, but a hint of doubt also emerged in his heart: "Maybe I shouldn't ask too much, but these herbs look quite old, and there doesn't seem to be such a lush medicinal field around us. May I ask, where did you find these?"
His inquiry was purely out of curiosity and did not mean to pry into privacy at all.
Ran He naturally kept his mouth shut about the secret space that belonged to him.
So she responded with ambiguous but appropriate words:
"I dug them from the remote field behind the village. Good herbs are not easy to find. I kept the good ones for myself and didn't bother you with the inferior ones."
These words were half true and half false. They avoided the core secrets and were reasonable. Director Xu did not think there was anything wrong with them. After all, every bit of gain was worthy of respect.
As for the matter of the back mountain, if outsiders dig it up without permission, they will definitely be criticized. In addition, the selection of herbs is time-consuming and laborious, which is far less convenient and quick than direct trading.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I'll give you fifty taels of silver for this batch of herbs. What do you think?"
Ran He nodded slightly to show his acceptance.
The herbs we brought today are more precious than last time. The clinic will naturally not do business at a loss, so this price is fair.
The shopkeeper gladly accepted the herbs, turned around and told the accountant to prepare the money.
