"Yes. Your medicine works really well, I feel a lot better." Wei Jinyi said.

"That's good." Wei Ruo replied in exactly the same tone as Wei Jinyi.

Then she laid down on the rattan chair leisurely.

The two of them were silent most of the time. Wei Jinyi didn't talk much, while Wei Ruo would occasionally say a few words to him. They would just peacefully accompany each other without conversing much.

###

After working hard for a few days, Wei Ruo finally managed to entrusted most of the work on the wasteland in the south of the city.

She had some free time today, so Wei Ruo planned to harvest the loofah, pumpkin, and gourd in the yard. Otherwise she wouldn't have time to do it, since she would go to the Xie family for class tomorrow.

While fiddling in the yard, Xiumei came rushing in.

"Miss, miss, miss……"

"Meimei, what's wrong?"

“That…… That……" After Xiumei made sure that there were no other people in the Tingsong Garden, she said to Wei Ruo, “Miss, Brother Xiaoyong got into a quarrel with Uncle Xu and the nanny. It was very serious!”

"What's going on?"

"It seems like Brother Xiaoyong* is going to be a soldier! Aren't there a lot of recruitment notices posted in the county town these days? And because of the special circumstances, the age for recruitment was lowered from fifteen to fourteen, which is the same age as Brother Xiaoyong. Then he said he wanted to go fight the Pirates too!"

*Remember Xu Xhengyong’s nickname is Brother Xiaoyong? He is the son of Wei Ruo’s nanny and Uncle Xu.

"Where are they now?" Wei Ruo asked hurriedly.

“He is tied up at home by Uncle Xu! Uncle Xu doesn't have any objections, but the nanny disagrees. When the nanny cries, Uncle Xu ties him up!”

“Let's go, you need to call Mo mo Zhang." Wei Ruo decided to go out immediately.

Now that she has an excuse in the south of the city, she can go out almost anytime she wants, but she needs to bring Mo mo Zhang with her.

Although Mo mo Zhang didn't initially look up to Wei Ruo and thought she was disgraceful, however, after spending time with her, her attitude towards Wei Ruo had greatly changed. After recognizing Wei Ruo's abilities, she began to sincerely obey her.

When Wei Ruo suddenly came looking for her, Mo mo Zhang didn't think there was any problem. And without saying a word, she prepared the carriage and led Wei Ruo out the door.

Not long after the carriage left, Wei Ruo requested to go to the main street and parked at the corner. Wei Ruo then told Mo mo Zhang she wanted to buy some pens, ink, paper, and inkstones from Sibaozhai.

Now that Wei Ruo is studying, it is normal for her to purchase pens, ink, paper, and inkstones. Neither Mo mo Zhang nor the driver felt that there was anything suspicious.

Wei Ruo put on her hat and got out of the carriage. When she entered the shop, Wei Ruo did not look at any of the goods in the shop, but directly entered the backyard through the shop’s door.

Inside the courtyard, Xu Zhengyong was sitting on the ground, his entire body tied up with his hands behind his back.

He had a stubborn expression and said: "Father, good men are ambitious. Now that the invaders are attacking and the people are suffering, as a man, I should fight on the front line!”

Xu Zhushan retorted: "I don't care about your ambitions. You can’t do anything that makes your mother sad!”

It was not that Xu Zhushan didn't agree with his son joining the army, it was just that his wife was unhappy with it, so he didn’t agree.

"Father, mother was thinking like a woman. But you're a man, you should understand me!" Xu Zhengyong retorted.

“It's pointless! If you want to go, you must first find a way to make your mother not worry about you!" Xu Zhushan was resolute and there was no room for discussion.

The father and son were arguing when Wei Ruo came in.

Seeing Wei Ruo, Xu Zhengyong's eyes lit up as if he had seen a savior: "Little sister Ruo'er!"
