After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 388: Shi Hui takes a fancy to the slum, Nan Xin tries to stop her

Shihui, you have a lot of ambition. Looking at the empty alley entrance, An Yumo couldn't help but sigh.

Not long after, the three returned. Xiaoqin brought the cooled tea to the yard. Zheng Shihui picked it up and drank it in one breath, her face full of excitement.

"I just inquired. Going further west, there are two or three dilapidated large courtyards that we can buy, renovate, and rent out in the future."

"Is there anyone living in the courtyard now?"

"I don't know exactly how many there are. I'll go check it out after lunch." Zheng Shihui said, taking another sip of tea.

An Yumo chuckled: "Okay, I have to go out to sell things and I'm busy. If you like it, take me with you."

"Okay! That's right." Zheng Shihui patted her arm.

The afternoon sun shines into the clinic. Lin Mingxuan teaches Xiaoqiang, Awen and others how to do acupuncture. Nanxing is bored and looking through herbs in the backyard. When he sees the shelf of a wonton stall in the corner, he suddenly has an idea and wants to make a four-wheeled vehicle for Xiaoyuan.

"Master, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."

"Where are you going..." Before Lin Mingxuan could finish his question, Nanxing had already run away. Holding the ruler he had just borrowed from Aunt Yang, he quickly ran to the West Courtyard.

When we arrived at the house of Xiao Yuan and his son, we saw that the door was open and a sister-in-law was feeding Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan could not sit steadily, so he leaned on the sister-in-law's shoulder with a piece of cloth wrapped around his chest. He ate one spoonful and expelled half a spoonful.

"Sister-in-law, let me help you." Nanxing walked into the house and said.

"Oh, doctor." The sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief. The bowl of porridge was almost cold, and the child hadn't finished it yet.

"Sister-in-law, I'm not a doctor. You can just call me 'Nanxing'." Nanxing said, moving a piece of wood, sitting next to Xiaoyuan and helping him up.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work."

"Hey! Just feeding him is not a big deal, the key is..." The sister-in-law glanced at Xiao Yuan's pants, "I still have to clean up his feces and urine. This child is really pitiful."

Nanxing understood that Lin Mingxuan once said that Xiao Yuan could no longer control himself.

"You really have worked hard..." Nanxing didn't know what to say.

"Brother Nanxing, what are you doing here today? Aduo is out working. He goes out early and comes back late every day. You won't see him until the evening."

"Sister-in-law, I'm not here to look for him. I want to measure Xiao Yuan's height and ask the carpenter to make a four-wheeled vehicle for him."

"Four-wheeler?" My sister-in-law had never seen one.

"It looks like a chair, with two small wheels in the front and two large wheels in the back. You can push it and it will move." Nan Xing explained while gesturing. "I saw it once in Luocheng County."

"This thing must be very expensive. Ado can't afford it." The sister-in-law shook her head.

"We don't use those precious woods, and we don't carve patterns. Xiao Yuan is young, so we use less materials, so it shouldn't be expensive." Nanxing glanced at Xiao Yuan and continued, "It's not good for the child to stay in the house every day. With a four-wheeled cart, you can push him out to bask in the sun, and you can also go out to the yard to relax."

"It sounds good." Sister-in-law nodded.

"I know a carpenter, and the child is pitiful, so we help each other."

As the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion in the courtyard. The eldest sister-in-law came out of the house and murmured, "Whose family is this young lady from? Why did she come to our run-down courtyard?"

Nanxing looked over and his eyes widened. Isn't that Miss Zheng? He put Xiaoyuan on the bed and walked out the door.

"Miss Zheng." He stepped forward and saluted.

"You are..." Zheng Shihui couldn't remember for a moment, and Ju Zi beside her whispered to remind her: "You are Doctor Lin's follower, and your name seems to be 'Nanxing'."

Zheng Shihui nodded slightly, "Why are you here? Is Doctor Lin treating patients here?" she asked.

"My young master is in the clinic. I'm here to visit the patients." Nanxing pointed inside the room.

"I see." Zheng Shihui smiled and looked at the sister-in-law next to her: "It just so happens that I have something I want to ask you. I wonder if this sister-in-law is free?"

The eldest sister-in-law glanced at Nanxing, clenched the corner of her clothes, and said, "Miss, what do you want to ask?"

"This yard is surrounded by houses. Who are the owners?"

"I'm not sure. We found a dental office when we rented the house."

"Which dental clinic? Where is it?"

"The Ji family dental shop is on East Market Street."

"Oh~ How much is the monthly rent? Can you tell me?"

"That's hard to say. The houses are different in size, location, and price."

Zheng Shihui nodded and thanked him, then walked around the yard. Nanxing walked up to Xiaoping and asked softly, "What does your daughter want to do? She doesn't want to buy this place, does she?"

"Maybe." Xiao Ping smiled awkwardly and followed Zheng Shihui. Nan Xing followed her gaze for a while and couldn't help but feel a little worried. Why did Miss Zheng buy this yard? Was she going to drive everyone away after buying it? Those who lived here were all coolies. They had no land in the countryside, so they worked in the city to support their families. Because this yard was shabby and the rent was cheap, they all gathered here.

Zheng Shihui was slow to speak, and Nanxing didn't want to ask the maid again. After hesitating for a moment, he went back to the house to measure Xiao Yuan's height, and then left the compound. Later that night, he came to An Yumo's wonton stall and asked An Yumo for details.

"Miss An, Miss Zheng does not lack one or two courtyards. Could you please persuade her?" Nanxing said.

An Yumo was a little embarrassed. She had just said that she wanted to "join" in the afternoon, but changed her mind in the evening and even stopped others. This...

"Miss An, you don't know that a few days ago a father and son came to the clinic. The father had to go to work and there was no one to take care of the child. He ate moldy sugarcane and was poisoned. Now, the child can't walk or talk. It's really pitiful. The people in that compound are not very good. Living there is just for the sake of cheapness..." Nanxing continued to plead.

At some point, Lin Mingxuan came up to him and asked, "Nanxing, what did you say to Miss An?"

"Young Master." Nan Xing was a little flustered and took a few steps back.

"Doctor Lin, nothing much, just a quick chat." An Yumo smiled awkwardly, "Would you like some wontons? It's almost dinner time, you must be hungry."

"No need to bother, Miss An. We still have some things to do in the clinic, so we'll leave first." Lin Mingxuan bowed, glanced at Nanxing, and turned back. Nanxing hurriedly clasped his fists, bowed deeply to An Yumo, and hurriedly followed.

"Nanxing, help me collect herbs in the backyard. I've been looking for you for a long time~" Xiaoqiang said.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Nan Xing pouted in dissatisfaction, "It won't take half a day, I just went out for a short while."

Lin Mingxuan looked at Nanxing's back, thinking about going back at night to find out what happened, when an "acquaintance" appeared in front of him - Ma Liang!

"Doctor Lin, we are here. I hope we are not disturbing you." Ma Liang bent over and clutched the corner of his clothes.

"Glad you're here." Lin Mingxuan was a little surprised, and quickly stood up and patted Ma Liang's arm. Outside the clinic, Ma Liang's wife and son stood with small packages and saluted Lin Mingxuan.

"Come in quickly." Lin Mingxuan stepped out of the door, looked left and right, and didn't see the carriage. He took Ah Fei's hand and led the two into the house: "Did you walk here?"

"Correct."

"Such a long journey? When did you set out?"

"He came out when it was just getting light, and it was still dark when I got up," said A Fei.

"It's really hard work... You must be hungry. I'll go buy some wontons. You wait."

"Doctor Lin, no need. We just have some cakes and hot water." Ma Liang wanted to stop him, but Lin Mingxuan moved faster. He came to An Yumo's stall, gave a few instructions, and turned back.

"Eat a bowl of wontons to warm yourself up first." Lin Mingxuan moved a stool for a few people to sit on. "I don't think there will be any patients coming in right now, so just sit back and relax. I'll go get a few cups of hot water."

"Thank you, Doctor Lin." The family of three felt very uncomfortable. They sat on the stools and dared not breathe. But Ah Fei looked around with his eyes wide open, finding everything new.

After a while, Nanxing and Xiaoqiang came to the front hall and were very surprised to see the three people. Lin Mingxuan brought water over. Nanxing wanted to take it, but Lin Mingxuan ignored him: "Brother Ma, let Nanxing take you to all the clinics in the city tomorrow. Mr. Zhang from our Jimin Hall said that a few years ago there was a doctor named Lancong who treated patients who were struck by lightning. Now he is in Huimin Pharmacy. Ah Qing is over there. Go find him."

"Thank you, Doctor Lin." The three of them stood up and saluted.

"No need to be so polite, please take a seat." Lin Mingxuan helped them up and pushed the cups of water to them.

"The wontons are here. Where should we put them?" Xiaoqin came to the door and smiled at Mrs. Ma.

"Come this way." Nanxing lifted the curtain and asked Xiaoqin to take her to the back hall, while Xiaoqiang led the three to follow behind.
