Doctor Mi raised his hand and said, "You dare speak?"
The pharmacist hurried away sheepishly. Doctor Mi met Shu Yu's gaze and coughed lightly, offering more explanation: "Besides brewing herbal medicine, I can only boil vegetables in plain water. Sister Fang is a good cook, and I've been tagging along these days to enjoy her skills. I've reduced her meal costs and thought of hiring her to help in the kitchen. Now, the county office is a better place than here; she's gotten used to working there. Maybe she could even stay long-term, so it's not my place to stop her."
Upon hearing that Granny Fang was doing well, Shu Yu felt relieved. The county office indeed needed manpower. With Xia Yi there, Shu Yu had less to worry about; Yuan Gui was even more meticulous than she imagined.
While she was pondering this, Ying Xi came to call her, "Miss, we need to leave."
Shu Yu nodded, bid farewell to Doctor Mi, and boarded the Meng family's carriage.
