A few minutes later, Ye Ling stood up from her chair, washed the used bowls and chopsticks, and placed them in the cupboard.

Afterward, Ye Ling walked to the counter and noticed Ji Mei eating melon seeds.

“Lingling, don’t blame Sister Gao. She’s just a little rigid, but she’s still a good person,” Ji Mei said, handing Ye Ling a handful of melon seeds.

Ye Ling smiled, indicating that she wasn’t angry at Gao Min for punishing her.

Everyone had their principles. Gao Min was the person in charge of the pharmacy, so she naturally acted from the perspective of a leader.

Ji Mei heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Ye Ling did not resent Sister

Gao. Then, she complained, “But this punishment is a little too severe. Sigh.”

At the moment, Ye Ling still had a lot of money on hand, so she didn’t care about being deducted a week’s salary. She sat down and munched on melon seeds with Ji Mei.

Of course, it was not appropriate to eat melon seeds during working hours, so Ji Mei had been watching the door cautiously. When she saw someone passing by the door, she would put the melon seeds in the drawer of the counter and wait for them to leave before taking them out.

“By the way, what’s wrong with that man? Is he sick?” Ji Mei asked.

“There’s nothing wrong with his body. The one who’s seriously ill is his…family.” Ye Ling couldn’t say that Ah Hui was Ma Biao’s wife, so she changed her words.

“Oh, I see.”

“It was the witch doctor who asked them to get the herbs,” Ye Ling continued to explain. “The witch doctor didn’t tell them the dosage and precautions for the herbs, so I went to their house and helped them distribute the dosage.” Ji Mei came to a sudden realization. Soon, cold sweat broke out on her back.

The one who prescribed the medicine was a witch doctor!

Ji Mei knew very well how unreliable witch doctors could be. If something happened to the man’s family, the one who would bear the responsibility in the end would not be the witch doctor, but the pharmacy that provided the herbs!

Ji Mei looked at Ye Ling in shock. “In that case, you’ve helped our pharmacy avoid a big risk. Sister Gao really shouldn’t have punished you. She should have given you a bonus!”

Ye Ling smiled faintly. “That’s two different things. It’s against the rules for me to leave the workplace during working hours.”

Ji Mei didn’t quite agree. In her opinion, rules were rigid, but people should adapt to the situation when faced with unexpected circumstances.

At night, Ye Ling was on duty once again. This time, she brought the teaching materials she had borrowed from Min Nan.

She had borrowed these teaching materials for quite some time, and it was about time to finish reading them and return them to Min Nan.

Ye Ling thought about when they would meet again for the return of the teaching materials, and a vague sense of anticipation filled her heart.

For Ye Ling, high school-level herbal knowledge was much more challenging to comprehend than medical books. So she took out her notebook and made numerous notes, circling the parts she didn’t understand and marking them with a question mark.

“Bang! Bang!” There was a light knock on the door. Ye Ling looked up and saw

Min Nan standing at the door with his fingers still touching it.

Ye Ling abruptly stood up, unsure of what to do.

After a few days, Min Nan came again!

“Big Brother Min Nan, please come in quickly,” Ye Ling hurriedly said.

Ye Ling’s original intention was to have Min Nan enter promptly to prevent anyone from passing by and seeing him.

However, as soon as she said this, she felt that something was amiss. It sounded as if she was overly eager and enthusiastic.

Ye Ling raised her head and gazed at Min Nan. Perhaps she was overthinking, but she sensed a trace of teasing in Min Nan’s eyes.

Ye Ling awkwardly walked behind the counter, grabbed a thermos bottle, and poured a cup of hot water for Min Nan.

“Big Brother Min Nan, what brings you here?” Ye Ling asked, her eyes occasionally glancing guiltily at the door.

Upon hearing Ye Ling’s question, Min Nan felt somewhat helpless.

Why was it that every time he came to see her, she would always inquire if he had any business? It was as if their conversations were limited to serious matters.

However, viewed from another perspective, the two of them had not yet established a relationship. He couldn’t just straightforwardly say that he missed her, so he had come to see her.

Nonetheless, it wasn’t too difficult to find an excuse. After a moment of contemplation, Min Nan said, “I’m here to talk to you about Ma Kang’s situation. The county has sent officials to investigate our village, and Chen Si and a few workers are willing to testify. Ma Kang had concealed the mine incident and bribed the workers, actions that seriously violated the party’s constitution and discipline. Two days ago, he was taken to the county for investigation. Although the outcome is still pending, I heard that the county plans to assign a new village committee secretary to Willow Village..”
