Her complexion was fair, her eyes bright and clear.
In a daze, Wei Mingting’s mind drifted uncontrollably to the memories of his daughter, vividly recalling her playful, adorable, and lively demeanor when she was a child.
Before him, he seemed to see a sweet-smiling little girl running toward him, repeatedly shouting, “Daddy!.”
Wanwan was also sweet and adorable when she was little, but she was always timid around him, with a soft voice that trembled when calling him “Daddy”.
If it were Ruoruo, she wouldn’t be afraid of him and would boldly act spoiled in his presence.
Regrettably, fate is cruel, and he had missed all of this.
“Father?” Wei Ruo noticed that Wei Mingting was lost in thought.
Wei Mingting snapped back to reality, realizing his outburst of emotion.
“Ruoruo, I don’t know how I can ever thank you,” Wei Mingting said, warmth filling his heart.
“Father, you don’t need to thank me for this. Xie Ying and I didn’t send these medicinal herbs solely for your sake, but also for the entire army and the people of Xingshan,” Wei Ruo replied.
Whether it’s for General Wei Mingting or someone else, as long as they weren’t vile individuals, Wei Ruo and Xie Ying would still have delivered these medicinal herbs today.
“Regardless, the Anti-Japanese Army owes you and Miss Xie a favor. The injured soldiers owe you a favor, and I owe you a favor,” Wei Mingting said solemnly.
“Father, let’s talk about these things after the war is over. I know you are busy so I won’t disturb you anymore. Xie Ying and I will bring the rest of the herbs ’ after we finish preparing them,” Wei Ruo said.
“Alright, be careful on your way back.”
Wei Mingting advised, then reluctantly watched Wei Ruo leave his camp.

After delivering the medicinal herbs to the Anti-Japanese Army, Wei Ruo didn’t continue to oversee the affairs of Xingshan County, but instead set off for Government City with Madam Yuan.
Upon arriving at Government City, Wei Ruo, under the arrangements of
Madam Yuan, took up residence in Tianqin Garden.
Once here, Wei Ruo felt relieved, no need to tread on eggshells like she had at Military Prefecture.
The morning after settling in, Wei Ruo, accompanied by Xiumei, went to the village.
Wei Ruo met Xu Zhushan and the manager of the village estate.
The manager was a man in his forties, with a surname, Yu. He had a rather gaunt physique, thin-faced, but he seemed to be an honest and decent sort of fellow.
For the few days since Uncle Xu had arrived, Manager Yu, taking advantage of Uncle Xu’s kindness, didn’t withhold anything from him, assisting him with matters in a respectful manner. This behavior gave a glimpse of the manager’s character.
During this time, Xu Zhushan had already taken measure of the village and had matters in order.
Wei Ruo called the two men over and inquired about the situation with the surrounding lands.
She then instructed, “That’s how it is, you guys go find out for me. If there are lands for sale or mortgaged nearby, we will buy them.”
“Miss, are you planning to buy up large amounts of land?” Manager Yu asked somewhat taken aback.
Yes, acquire land.” Wei Ruo responded firmly.
