"The painkillers are right. The fault is the greedy." Sun Chun's words repeated themselves in her heart time and time again, causing her panicking heart to be set at rest.

"You have to find yourself, don't let your hatred bury you."

After Sun Chun finished speaking, he carried Xia Li up and placed him on the bed.

Give me some time, I want to think it over. Oh right, I have already discussed it with the Uncle Fu in the village, the 100 over families in the village can be considered my people. I plan to reorganize the hospital in my hands and start the operation again.

"This time's herbs, let the people from the village go up the mountain to gather them. I will buy them all together, and the money will be given to them according to the market price."

Xia Li said as he wiped the tears in his eyes.

"Your idea is not bad. When I first brought you here, it was also to give you a safe and undisturbed environment to live a good life. Indeed, I didn't consider the living conditions of the people here carefully."

Sun Chun said with a slight apologetic tone.

"This is all fate. There aren't any suitable fields for cultivation here, and the majority of the people here are pitiful people who are trying to survive. They are all people in danger, and we need to help each other out."

Xia Li's lips revealed a trace of a smile, as if the pain in his heart earlier had already been relieved.

Being able to marry you in this life is already my greatest fortune. Right now, I just want to be grateful, but there is too much hatred accumulated in my heart. This is my dark side, and with the painkillers, I will treat it as a blessing from heaven.

Xia Li touched his own heart, "I will take revenge for Fu Rui, I must catch Hu Yong, and let his soul rest in peace, and also let my guilt towards him be relieved."

Tears flashed past Xia Li's eyes, but even more importantly, she was unwilling and guilty at the same time. Her heart was warm, and jumped intensely, it would be extremely difficult to gain peace and quiet.

"Little Li, don't worry. Your husband will face everything together with you."

Sun Chun held Xia Li's hand tightly, giving her strength.

"Yes." Xia Li nodded heavily.

"Alright, take a good rest first. Don't we still have the villagers in the village that we need you to settle down?" Sun Chun reminded Xia Li by his ear.

"Yes, I need to rest early." With Sun Chun's support, Xia Li reclined on the bed, closed his eyes, and peacefully fell asleep.

Lei Ke walked over from the kitchen and placed a few fresh dishes from the kitchen on the table.

"Young Master, these are some of your favorite dishes that you've just made. Eat a little first, you haven't eaten anything in a day."

"Put it there. I don't want to eat it." Sun Chun held Xia Li's hand tightly at his heart, staring at her sleeping figure, he did not move his body.

"Lei Ke, where is Hu Yong?" Sun Chun swept Lei Ke with his cold eyes.

"Reporting to Young Master, we're still investigating." Lei Ke replied with great difficulty, "This person seems to have disappeared from the world. We have secretly activated all the powers we had hidden in the capital, but there is still no trace of him."

"Then send out the portrait of him in secret. Maybe he has changed his name. If he is still alive in this world, there will be a day when he will show himself. Even if we have to dig three feet out of the capital, you must find him!"

After Sun Chun finished speaking, Lei Ke immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said: This subordinate will do as you say!

After Lei Ke finished speaking, he got up and left the house to use all of his power to secretly investigate Hu Yong's whereabouts. In his heart, he had a faint feeling that this matter wasn't over, and a person that couldn't be found no matter how he was investigated definitely wasn't as simple as a medicinal ingredient merchant.

Ru Shuang had been standing guard at the corner the entire time, so nervous that his palms were covered with sweat. The atmosphere in the room had clearly become a lot more depressing, and his wife had to hurry up and get better. Otherwise, who knew how many days they would have to watch Sun Chun's cold face.

In the latter half of the night, when Sun Chun woke up, he found that Ru Shuang, who was standing in the corner, had fallen asleep while leaning against the wall.

"Ru Shuang, you should go rest. I'll be fine with Xia Li's place."

"Yes." Ru Shuang unwillingly turned his head to look at Sun Chun's figure, restrained the emotion in his heart, and silently retreated.

When the sky lit up, Xia Li woke up. Looking at the sleeping Sun Chun beside her, she quietly got off the bed and went out of her room to the courtyard.

The morning breeze blew past her hair, bringing about a burst of coolness. Xia Li walked back and forth in the courtyard, looking at the rising star in the sky, she stood up, followed her memories and left the small courtyard, finally arriving at a stronghold that was separated from her.

"Good morning, Madam!"

"Madam, you woke up early!"

Along the way, there were countless people greeting Xia Li enthusiastically while carrying bamboo baskets up the mountain.

"Good morning everyone, are you guys gathering herbs from the mountain?" Xia Li looked at the full expression of the people in the village and responded passionately.

That's right, the Uncle Fu told us that in the future, Madame must have purchased all the herbs in our village. Therefore, the Uncle Fu had specially visited every one of our houses yesterday, and asked us to purchase the Four-sided Grass in the next two days. She said that the Four-sided Grass has the value of clearing away heat and dampening water, promoting blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis.

A man around the age of thirty or so, with a bamboo basket on his back, excitedly explained to Xia Li.

"Every household will measure the different weights of the quadrangle grass according to the scale, root out the different market prices of each herb. After you calculate the different silver taels for each family, when the Uncle Fu tells us the good news, we are so happy that we nearly jump up."

A young woman couldn't help but to ask.

Very quickly, a group of people surrounded Xia Li and enthusiastically chatted with him.

"It's better if we take advantage of the warm morning sun and go up the mountain to gather herbs. Only after two days when we're weighed down can you guys exchange the square grass for even more silver coins!"

Uncle Fu's thick and aged voice came out from outside the crowd.

"Let's hurry and gather the herbs!"

"Right, right. Go harvest the Four-sided Grass."

The group of people quickly scattered like birds and beasts. Taking advantage of the early morning's coolness, they rushed up the mountain.

"Uncle Fu, you are a good person. You saved me." Xia Li laughed bitterly, his palms sweating nervously.

"Madam, why don't you rest a bit longer and come to the stronghold so early?" Uncle Fu maintained a distance from Xia Li and bowed slightly as he saw how shocked Xia Li looked.

"I couldn't sleep either, so I came over to take a look." Breathing in the morning cold wind, Xia Li's vision became clear and his mind became a lot better. He stretched his arms with effort.

Uncle Fu carefully accompanied Xia Li by his side and followed him from time to time, secretly observing his expression.

"Madam, I've already visited over a hundred families in the village yesterday. This is a list of people. Today, I'll have everyone gather some herbs that you know. Please take a look at the list first."

The Uncle Fu said as he took out a roster and gave it to Xia Li.

Xia Li accepted the list of people from the Uncle Fu, looked at the registration and found that there were families with only orphans and widows, this way, the wages they would receive would definitely not be as much as others, making life more difficult. She needed to think of a way, how could she let these families earn more money.

"Uncle Fu, on this list, are there any ways to help orphans and widows? Do you think you have a way to make more money for them so that they can lighten the burden on their families?"

Xia Li wanted to hear the thoughts of the person in charge of the village before making his decision.

"We have been in the stronghold for so many years, and we have been able to save them up until now because of our unity and mutual support. Don't worry, Madam, we will help these families and buy from each of them, so we can guarantee that they will earn as much as the other families."

The words of the Uncle Fu caused Xia Li's worry to calm down.

"Uncle Fu, you have done very well! You've worked hard! "This little money can be used to buy Aunt Fu some delicious food." Xia Li took out ten gold coins from his chest pocket and passed it to the Uncle Fu.

"This!" Thank you Madam! " Uncle Fu happily received the money and carefully put it away in his arms, not forgetting to bow to Xia Li once again.

After leaving the village, Xia Li started walking back. After walking for a short distance, he saw a man standing at a fork in the road, staring at him.

Xia Li looked at the man's green robe, wheat colored skin, tall and straight body, and handsome face. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he quickened his pace to return.

"hubby!" Xia Li threw herself into Sun Chun's embrace, tightly holding onto his neck as she shouted happily.

"Where did you go? I looked for you for a long time before I found out that you had gone to the stronghold. " As Sun Chun felt the little girl's happiness, the small displeasure in his heart could only be suppressed at the bottom of his heart.

"I woke up early and went out for a walk. I happened to come to the village and met Uncle Fu, so I discussed with him about gathering herbs."

Xia Li patiently explained as he looked at the man in front of him, who was obviously unhappy.

"Take me with you next time. What if your headache suddenly flared up and you fainted on the way?" The more Sun Chun spoke, the more afraid he became. He angrily asked Xia Li, and the complicated look in his eyes …

"I … I was just walking around casually. Besides, my body is much better now. Don't worry, I'll be fine." Xia Li was especially obedient this time. "When I go out in the future, I'll let you know in advance or we'll go together."

"There won't be a next time. Before you have a headache that causes you to sink deep into sleep, you must stay in your room peacefully. If you go out, you must stay within your husband's control."

Without explanation, Sun Chun carried Xia Li up once again and entered the small courtyard.

Xia Li laid silently in Sun Chun's embrace, as he felt the man's care. A sweet smile appeared on his face.

Sun Chun placed Xia Li back on the bed and pressed down both of her hands. With cold eyes, he said, "My wife, don't challenge your husband's patience anymore. Otherwise, your husband will have a way to prevent you from getting up for a long time."

"You, what are you trying to do!?" Xia Li had experienced Sun Chun's sinister appearance before, so he carefully moved towards the outside of the bed and asked cautiously.

"I just want to put some knockout drugs in your bowl to make you sleep for a few more days. What are you thinking about?" Sun Chun leaned on Xia Li and asked with a smile.
