Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 600: Chapter 600: You Know My Skills Already

After discussing matters for a while, it was already past midnight. Huo Jingrui didn’t rest and, accompanied by Deputy Chief Geng, drove the Hua’an Farm Reclamation’s cargo truck back to the county overnight.

He only returned after dawn.

Yunyi got up to find everything tidied up, and Huo Jingrui was already at the door with an aluminum lunch box.

Hearing a knock on the door and suspecting it was Huo Jingrui, she hurried over to open it. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed his unshaven appearance and understood: ”You haven’t eaten yet, have you?”

Huo Jingrui nodded and raised the net bag in his hand: ”I bought bean curd pudding and fried dough sticks to eat with you.”

Yunyi quickly let him in: ”Just leave it there, I’ll set it out in a minute. Go wash up first.”

She went back inside and brought out Huo Jingrui’s towel and toothbrush: ”Here, you used these last time.”

Handing him the items, she returned to fetch a thick cup of Malt Essence: ”Drink this small cup of Malt Essence later. I’ll leave for work soon, so you can catch up on sleep here.”

Huo Jingrui didn’t refuse. Anyway, Yunyi would be going to work soon, and sleeping in his fiancée’s room wouldn’t be seen by anyone. Even if someone did see, it wouldn’t be a big deal: ”Alright.”

Besides, if he wasn’t mistaken, those people should act again soon. Huang Yibang probably intended to move things out first before making a move.

Yunyi watched Huo Jingrui finish the bean curd pudding, and then he drank down the small, thick cup of Malt Essence. Only then did she tidy up, ready to leave: ”Just focus on getting some sleep. I estimate I’ll need to make a trip to the mountains this morning; those Traditional Medicine Pills are out, so I need to dig up some herbs.”

Huo Jingrui advised: ”If it’s not urgent, better avoid going to the mountains these few days.”

Yunyi understood what he meant: ”You know my abilities. If anything happens, I might even capture them myself. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”

She assured Huo Jingrui repeatedly, mentioning the direction she would head towards before leaving.

In the clinic, some of the medicine was the Traditional Medicine Pills she made herself. They’ve been consumed quickly these days, so she needed to make more to stock up.

But the herbs were running low, so she needed to make a trip up the mountain. Given her limited space, she couldn’t plant much more; she couldn’t offer them freely either.

What’s most important is that the herbs from there are far more effective than the ordinary herbs picked outside. She didn’t dare take them out easily; she understood too well the concept that ”an innocent person can be guilty if they possess something valuable.”

This was part of her job. It was initially agreed that the clinic would buy herbs at the market price, but there would be no extra charge for the pill-making. The income from those pills went to the Agricultural Reclamation Group, but she received a fixed monthly allowance of five yuan.

She didn’t mind. Every few days she would go up the mountain, and when she was not busy, she would turn everything into pills, providing additional income for the clinic.

First, she took a round in the ward, checking on a few patients from the previous day who had sought her for a consultation and were staying in the clinic. Seeing nothing amiss, she gave some instructions and proceeded to the logistics, grabbed a bamboo basket, greeted Doctor Qiu, and left the clinic.

This time, she went directly towards the mountain behind the Zhang Family Village, partly for a personal reason. After all, she made a futile trip last time, failing to find the cave Zhang Dali mentioned, so today she intended to try her luck again.

As she headed up the mountain, she quickly found the herbs she needed. It wasn’t long before her basket was half full. As she dug up more, she stored them in her space, as carrying too much weight was tiring. She planned to fill up the basket once she was descending the mountain.
