The fragrance of medicine fills the countryside in 1990

Chapter 87: The students will show up at Saffron, Su Chenjin wins Chen Shanshan's respect

"Student Chen Shanshan," Su Chenjin's voice was not loud, but it was like a taut string, conveying unquestionable firmness in the air, "We, everyone here is a member of the Student Union. We jointly protect the honor and mission of this team, and every member is an indispensable part of this team."

Su Chenjin stood up and walked in front of Chen Shanshan, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on her.

“No matter who leaves, it is an irreparable loss to the Student Union. Because we are not just a team, but also a big family. The departure of each person will make this family less warm and less powerful.”

Chen Shanshan looked up, her eyes flashing with complex emotions.

She wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Su Chenjin's next words.

"I know that due to the recent turmoil in the Qin family, our relationship is like a swaying leaf, full of uncertainty and misunderstanding. Those confusing rumors and complicated entanglements are like a tangled mess, messing up our originally clear emotional lines. However, if you have a grudge against me or even hostility because of these things, then I can only say that this is really unnecessary."

There was a hint of helplessness and fatigue in Su Chenjin's voice.

She shook her head gently and continued, "I am just an outsider. I have never been involved in the Qin family's grievances and hatreds, nor have I ever shown any partiality."

Chen Shanshan stood quietly in the corner of the food market, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was chewing on Su Chenjin's words carefully.

Her eyes revealed a complex emotion, which showed her agreement with Su Chenjin's words, but also seemed to be mixed with a bit of doubt and uneasiness.

Su Chenjin looked at Chen Shanshan's reaction and sighed inwardly.

The misunderstanding between the two of them was deep, and it was not easy to clear it up all at once.

She took a deep breath of air, and the fresh breath seemed to calm the waves in her heart a little.

She looked up and forward, her eyes firm and deep, trying to penetrate the fog and reach into the distance.

Then she spoke slowly, her voice clear and powerful, like a bright light illuminating everything around her.

"Student Chen Shanshan," she said, each word sparkling like a carefully polished gem, "The work of the student union is never an easy game. It requires us to be patient, to devote our efforts to every detail, and to always remember that we have a heavy responsibility on our shoulders."

She raised her head slightly, her eyes sweeping across everyone's faces

"We are all screws in the huge machine of the Student Union. Although small, each one is crucial." She continued, her tone full of determination and persistence, "A tall building is built from the ground, and it is never based on selfishness and self-interest. We come together for a common goal and work hard to build a better campus."

Time fell into silence.

A few minutes later.

Chen Shanshan's voice was sharp and piercing, like a meteor across the silent night sky, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill that fiercely pierced the originally solidified silence.

Her eyes were wide open, and her pupils were flashing with flames of anger and unwillingness, wanting to burn everything in front of her.

"Shut up!" she roared, as fiercely as a storm.

Her chest heaved violently, and every breath was filled with intense anger and excitement, pouring out all her emotions.

Su Chenjin's face turned pale due to her words, just like a flower attacked by a cold wind and rain, losing its vitality in an instant.

She tried to defend herself, but Chen Shanshan interrupted her mercilessly, "You want to say that you were not involved in what happened to the Qin family later?" She continued to question, and every word was like a cold arrow, piercing Su Chenjin's heart.

She pointed her finger at Su Chenjin, her fingertips trembling slightly, venting all her anger through this action.

"The Qin family was able to defeat us sisters so quickly, not only because of your and Gu Xinliang's help!" She said gritting her teeth, her voice filled with endless anger and resentment.

There was a cold light flashing in her eyes, as if she wanted to see through Su Chenjin and find out the secret deep in her heart.

Su Chenjin was speechless because of her words. Her face became paler and paler, and she was overwhelmed by Chen Shanshan's anger.
Chen Shanshan stood by a quiet market alley. It was quiet all around her, and the sound of her heartbeat was echoing.

Memories were like a dam that had been opened. Chen Shanshan felt upset as she recalled what had happened with the Qin family over the past few days.

The power of the Qin family was like a ferocious beast, approaching the sisters' territory step by step.

The properties, wealth and status that originally belonged to them were swallowed up bit by bit by the Qin family, like fireflies in the dark night, swept away without a trace by the strong wind.

The sisters had tried to resist before, but each time they were met with even more severe suppression.

During those days, they seemed to be trapped in a huge whirlpool and could not escape no matter how hard they struggled.

Finally, they were forced to leave their homes and wander around with nowhere to go.

Chen Shanshan's heart was filled with resentment and anger, she felt betrayed.

She couldn't bear the pain and humiliation, and she wanted to vent all her anger.

"Go away, go away, Su Chenjin, go away!" Chen Shanshan shouted in despair, while Su Chenjin looked at her calmly.

"We are standing on the scales of justice at this moment," Su Chenjin said. "This scale, although silent, has supreme authority. It will not be biased because of our identity, status or wealth. It will only make fair judgments based on facts and truth."

Su Chenjin continued, her eyes sweeping across everyone's face, as if looking for resonance.

"I don't want to make myself sound great," she said calmly, her voice revealing a calm and profound power. "I am just an ordinary student, without a distinguished family background or amazing talent. I don't have the ability to change the world, nor do I have the power to turn things around. But I have my own beliefs and pursuits, and I have a heart that pursues the truth."

"I firmly believe that as long as we persist in pursuing the truth and stand on the scales of justice, then no matter how difficult the road ahead is, we can find our own light."

Her voice became louder and louder, as if it was a vow, a promise for the future.

She slowly raised her head, her eyes penetrating the fog in front of her and looking into the distant beyond.

Trying to find that one ray of strength that can support my beliefs in the endless darkness.

She took a deep breath and calmed down her excitement.
She spoke slowly, her voice full of power: "In this world full of various sounds and colors, everyone is running for their own goals and interests. However, no matter what environment I am in or what challenges I face, I always stick to my bottom line. That is the unshakable cornerstone in my heart."

She continued, "I know that this world is not perfect. It is full of temptations and challenges. Sometimes, those temptations seem beautiful and exciting; sometimes, those challenges seem arduous and daunting. However, this cannot be a reason for us to give up our principles and bottom line."

Su Chenjin's voice gradually became higher and higher, announcing her determination to the world: "I will always keep a clear head, use reason to resist temptation, and use courage to face challenges. I will stick to my beliefs and principles, and will not be swayed by power or driven by interests. Because I know that only by sticking to the bottom line can I maintain the purity and nobility of my heart; only by sticking to the bottom line can I find my own direction and value in this complex world."

Su Chenjin's words were full of power, as if an invisible force was gathering around her.

She thought for a moment, then looked at Kang Duanchenxiang firmly. She said resolutely, "I believe that as long as we insist on fairness and justice, and always uphold the belief in justice, we will be able to find a path to light. This road may be full of thorns and bumps, but as long as we move forward courageously and have firm beliefs, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and usher in a bright future that belongs to us."

Su Chenjin slowly turned his head, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, and looked straight at Chen Shanshan's face.

She took a deep breath and said firmly and forcefully, "I don't think there is anything wrong with you defending yourself in this case. Everyone, no matter what situation they are in, has the right to fight for their own rights and interests and defend themselves. This is a right granted to us by law and is also our basic dignity as human beings."

She paused, her eyes revealing a deep thought.

He continued: "However, in the face of the truth, each of us should learn to put aside personal gains and losses and prejudices. The truth is the cornerstone of fairness and the source of justice. It is the only fair answer. Only in this way can we live up to our conscience, live up to the expectations of this society, and live up to the countless eyes that yearn for justice."

Her words echoed in the air, shaking the hearts of everyone present.

Chen Shanshan lowered her head, as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, making it impossible for her to raise her once proud head.

Her eyes were full of regret and unwillingness, but also mixed with an indescribable complex emotion.

She closed her lips tightly and made no sound, as if using silence to fight her inner struggle.

Kang Duanchenxiang looked directly at Chen Shanshan, her voice clear and powerful: "Chen Shanshan, if you regard the work of the Student Union as a game of accepting defeat, then I can only say that you are not capable of serving as the vice president of the Student Union."

Chen Shanshan lowered her head, like a sunflower that once looked up to the sun but suddenly lost the sunlight, and her whole body was shrouded in a layer of haze.

That heavy stone not only weighed on her heart, but also embedded itself deeply into her soul, leaving her unable to extricate herself from the pain and struggle.

Her eyes were filled with a mixture of various complex emotions.

There was deep regret, like an abyss in the dark night, swallowing up all her pride and self-esteem; there was also a strong unwillingness, burning like a raging fire, making her struggle in pain, trying to find a possibility of relief.

And between these two emotions, there is an indescribable complex emotion quietly spreading, like an invisible hand, gently plucking her heartstrings.

She closed her lips tightly, blocking all sounds deep in her heart.

The voice that was once fluent and infectious is now like fallen leaves blown away by the cold wind, and no trace of the past can be found again.

At this moment, Kang Duanchenxiang's words were like a sharp ice sword in the cold winter, suddenly cutting through the silent night sky and instantly shattering the surrounding tranquility.

She paused slightly, and a determined light flashed in her deep eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky, shining directly at Chen Shanshan.

Chen Shanshan's originally firm eyes began to waver slightly under Kang Duanchenxiang's direct gaze, and she was shocked by the powerful aura.

Her face gradually turned pale, and even beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, revealing her inner panic and anxiety.

"Any student union member's withdrawal must be approved by the student assembly."

Kang Duanchenxiang's words were powerful and there was no trace of hesitation or compromise in her tone. Every word was like a carefully polished blade, sharp and firm.

"This is not just a rule, but also a respect and trust for our team."

She continued, her voice revealing an unquestionable sense of authority.

Her words were like a warm current, flowing slowly into everyone's hearts, making them feel the cohesion and centripetal force of the student union team.

There was a tense and oppressive atmosphere in the air, and even breathing became cautious.

Kang Duanchenxiang took a deep breath and said in a loud and firm voice: "If you treat the student union as a joke, then you are not welcome here. You can leave now!"

These words were like a flash of lightning that streaked across the night sky, instantly stirring up a storm in everyone's hearts.

The originally silent space instantly fell into dead silence, with only Kang Duanchenxiang's voice echoing in the air.

Although the rage was burning in Chen Shanshan's chest and was about to swallow her whole, she still tried hard to suppress the impulse and keep herself calm.

In this tense situation, any loss of emotional control could be the cause of her defeat.

Therefore, she took a deep breath, adjusted her mentality, and faced Kang Duanchenxiang and Su Chenjin in the best condition.

Su Chenjin walked slowly to Chen Shanshan.

She tried to make her tone sound calm and sincere: "Student Chen Shanshan, I know there are some disputes between us, but I don't think these disputes have actually affected the development of the student union. We are all part of the school, and we are all working for the same goal, which is to make this school better."

Chen Shanshan was surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect Su Chenjin to talk to her so calmly, and she didn't expect him to admit the dispute between them so generously.

But Su Chenjin did not stop. She continued, "I believe that as long as we can put aside the past grudges and work together, we will be able to make greater contributions to the development of the Student Union. After all, our goals are the same, that is, for the school and for our future."

Chen Shanshan raised her head suddenly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. The smile was full of disdain and contempt, as if she was silently mocking Su Chenjin in front of her.

"Su Chenjin, it's so easy for you to say that." Chen Shanshan's voice revealed an indescribable coldness that froze the air around them.

She turned her head slightly and stared at Su Chenjin with eyes as sharp as knives, as if to see through him.

"Do you think your benevolence and morality can save the people?" Chen Shanshan continued, her voice full of sarcasm and anger.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the stone slab, making a crisp sound, adding rhythm to her words.

"I'm sure it gives you great pleasure to make a fool of yourself by me."

Chen Shanshan's tone became increasingly harsh, pouring out all the anger in her heart.

Su Chenjin's brows unconsciously furrowed, and she realized that Chen Shanshan seemed to have misunderstood his intentions.

So she took a deep breath and tried to explain to Chen Shanshan in a calm tone.

"Chen Shanshan, you really misunderstood me." Su Chenjin's voice was full of sincerity. She stood in front of Chen Shanshan with her hands clasped together. She didn't want the conflict between her and Chen Shanshan to become the talk of the student union. "I never thought of embarrassing you, let alone deliberately making things difficult for you. I just think that your temper does seem a little impulsive sometimes, which is not good for you. If you can control your emotions a little, I believe you will find that things will go more smoothly."

Su Chenjin's words were like the gurgling water, gentle yet firm.

She tried to make Chen Shanshan understand her intentions and intentions, rather than simply thinking that she was blaming her.

Her eyes revealed concern and expectation, and she hoped that Chen Shanshan could truly listen to her words.

Chen Shanshan's originally calm face instantly became gloomy as if a dark cloud was pressing down on her head after she heard Su Chenjin's words.

Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were flashing with anger, as if she wanted to burn Su Chenjin in front of her to ashes.

Suddenly, Chen Shanshan stood up, like a volcano ready to erupt her inner anger.

She stretched out her slender fingers and pointed them directly at Su Chenjin's nose. Every word she spoke seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, full of dissatisfaction and resentment.

"Su Chenjin, who do you think you are?" Chen Shanshan's voice was cold and sharp, like the north wind in the cold winter, biting and chilling.

Her eyes revealed deep disdain and contempt. In her eyes, Su Chenjin was just an insignificant little character.

"Why are you teaching me a lesson?" she continued to question, her tone full of provocation and defiance.

In her opinion, she is an independent and strong person who does not need anyone to tell her what to do, not even Su Chenjin, the most popular student in the medical school.

"This is my temper. It's my own business whether I change it or not!" she said loudly, declaring her position to the world.

She believes that her personality is unique and she does not need to change herself to fit in with others.

"I don't need you to tell me what to do!" She ended her speech with a decisive remark, giving Su Chenjin a final ultimatum.

Su Chenjin stared at Chen Shanshan quietly, his deep eyes hiding a bottomless lake.

She looked at her excited face and couldn't help feeling a surge of complicated emotions in her heart.

Once a person's character is formed, trying to change it is as difficult as melting a thousand-year-old iceberg.

However, Su Chenjin decided to take this step. She took a deep breath and said in a gentle but firm voice: "Student Chen Shanshan, I don't mean to blame you, and I don't want to teach you a lesson. I'm just worried that your character will eventually get hurt. In this complex society, not everyone can tolerate your willfulness and straightforwardness like we do. If you continue to be unrestrained, sooner or later you will encounter insurmountable obstacles, or even suffer a serious blow."

Chen Shanshan fell silent when she heard this.

Luo Shen stood quietly aside, his eyes sharp as he watched the heated discussion among the people in front of him.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and he was thinking about Chen Shanshan's future development in the Student Union.

The air around them seemed to be frozen, filled with tension and anticipation.

Suddenly, Luo Shen took a step forward and walked in front of Su Chenjin.

He patted Su Chenjin's shoulder gently, his voice low and powerful: "Xiaojin, you and Chenxiang go and do the work first. I will handle the communication with Chen Shanshan."

Su Chenjin took a deep breath and looked at Luo Shen and Kang Duan Chenxiang firmly. Her voice was filled with unquestionable determination: "Teacher Luo Shen, Chenxiang, you guys go first. Leave this to me. I'll talk to Chen Shanshan again. Don't worry, I can handle it."

Luo Shen stared at Su Chenjin thoughtfully.

Kang Duanchenxiang looked at this scene and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

She knew Luo Shen's temper very well, and also knew how great the difficulties Su Chenjin was facing, so she couldn't help but ask softly: "Xiaojin, can you handle it?"

Su Chenjin raised his head and nodded, "I will do my best."

Su Chenjin's voice was deep and powerful, like the power bursting out from the depths of his heart, full of determination and confidence.

These two short words seemed to have magical power, instantly igniting the atmosphere around them.

Luo Shen and Kang Duanchenxiang looked at each other, and their hearts were filled with determination.

They decided to stay and face the complex and tense situation before them.

Dark clouds gradually gathered, and the surrounding scenery became blurred and mysterious in the darkness, foreshadowing an unknown storm that was about to happen.

Luo Shen and Kang Duanchenxiang stood quietly by, their eyes fixed on Su Chenjin and Chen Shanshan.

However, when the haze in Chen Shanshan's heart was about to cover everything, Su Chenjin's words were like the breeze of early spring, quietly blowing away those heavy clouds.

Her tone was full of firmness and tenderness, as if she was a wise person who was well versed in the world and was clearing the fog in her mind and guiding her onto the right path.

"You should take control of your own life!"

Su Chenjin stared into Chen Shanshan's eyes and continued, "You are not a prisoner of your mistakes, and your life should not be shrouded in the shadow of the past. I am not someone who only looks at the past. I value your present and future more."

As Chen Shanshan listened to Su Chenjin's words, an indescribable warmth surged in her heart.

She felt Su Chenjin's sincerity and kindness, which was like a clear spring flowing in her dry heart, bringing unprecedented nourishment.

Her heart began to change. The haze that once troubled her gradually dissipated, and was replaced by an unprecedented power.

"From this moment on, let's start over in the Student Union!"

Su Chenjin's words were like a ray of light, illuminating Chen Shanshan's path forward.

She took a deep breath, straightened her chest, and let go of the burden in her heart.

"You don't have to quit. I won't give up either!" Su Chenjin's words were like a reassurance, filling Chen Shanshan's heart with confidence and courage. "Let's compete to see who wins at the Food Festival!"

Su Chenjin unexpectedly gained Chen Shanshan's respect. Chen Shanshan nodded vigorously, "I do!"

Su Chenjin and Chen Shanshan, as well as Luo Shen and Kang Duanchenxiang, stepped into the joyful ocean of the food market together.

Their steps were brisk and powerful. The vendors in the market were promoting their delicacies with great enthusiasm. All kinds of tempting smells filled the air, making one's mouth water.

Chen Shanshan excitedly introduced the Changsha stinky tofu in her hand, her eyes sparkling with love for food: "Do you know that Changsha stinky tofu has a long history? The unique fermentation process makes it smell bad but taste good. This time I specially introduced it to the Jiangda Food Festival, just to let everyone taste this different taste."

Kang Duanchenxiang was savoring the spicy and fresh taste of Chongqing noodles with an intoxicated look on her face. She said softly, "Chongqing noodles are really my favorite. The spicy taste with a hint of sourness is simply irresistible. I think students from Jiangnan University will definitely like this unique taste."

Luo Shen smiled and showed the XJ baked bun and Xi'an roujiamo in his hand. He said proudly: "XJ baked bun is golden and crispy, and paired with rich mutton, it is simply delicious; while Xi'an roujiamo is fat and lean, with rich taste. These two delicacies have their own characteristics, and I believe they will shine at the Jiangda Food Festival."

Finally, Su Chenjin mysteriously revealed her choice: "I decided to promote the vegetarian noodles from Sujiazhuang to the campus of Jiangnan University. These vegetarian noodles may seem simple, but they contain the craftsmanship and hard work of several generations of people in Sujiazhuang. The noodles are chewy and smooth, and the soup is rich and delicious. You can taste the taste of home in every bite. I believe that students of Jiangnan University will definitely like this warmth from their hometown."

The four of them walked and talked, tasting the food in their hands from time to time, their faces filled with satisfied and happy smiles.

The Jiangnan University Food Festival is about to begin, and they look forward to these delicacies bringing an unforgettable feast for the taste buds of Jiangnan University students.

After the four people returned to school, Luo Shen and Kang Duanchenxiang were like two birds that had just returned to their nests, and they couldn't wait to plunge into their respective tasks.

As for Su Chenjin, she chose to stay in the Purchasing Department of the Student Union and continue to perform her duties.

The purchasing department's warehouse is filled with a variety of items, which are dazzling.

Su Chenjin walked between the shelves, carefully checking the list to make sure every item was correct.

Just then, her eyes inadvertently fell on a cardboard box in the corner of the warehouse.

The cardboard box was covered in dust, obviously no one had touched it for a long time.

Su Chenjin walked over with curiosity and gently opened the lid of the carton.

A faint herbal fragrance wafted into her nose, and she looked down to see packets of red medicinal herbs neatly arranged in a cardboard box.

"Is this... saffron?" Su Chenjin exclaimed in surprise.

She had heard the elders in her family mention this medicinal herb and knew that it had the effect of promoting menstruation and blood circulation, but she also knew that pregnant women should never use it.

Just then, she heard footsteps approaching. She looked up and saw the Student Union President Xu Tian walking towards her.

He was holding a plastic bag containing several small packets of saffron.

"Chairman Xu, these saffron are..." Su Chenjin couldn't help but ask.

Xu Tian smiled slightly and explained, "Oh, these are what the school recently purchased. We plan to use them to make some medicinal food to nourish the students."

Su Chenjin nodded, but a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

She remembered that her aunt Juanzi had been vomiting severely recently. Could it be that... she was pregnant?

Once this idea came to her mind, she couldn't get rid of it. She decided to find an opportunity to visit Juanzi and see how she was doing.

If she is really pregnant, she must not be allowed to touch the saffron.
