I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

She wants to acquire more professional knowledge in acupuncture, massage, and Chinese herbal medicine identification.

Mrs. Lin thought it would be good for Mrs. Huang to learn more things, as they might be useful in the future. She picked up a book and said, "Mr. Huang, this one looks good, too. It's about massage. Take a look..."

As she said this, she handed a booklet to Huang Po.

Huang Po's face suddenly turned red, as if she had been scalded, and she was thrown far away.

Ji Xiaobei looked at it carefully and said: My dear mother, if you don’t understand, don’t recommend it blindly. The contents of this book are really useless to Huang Po at her age.

Mr. Book Stall narrowed his eyes and looked at Mrs. Huang with a smile on his face...

Mrs. Huang glared at him and cursed in her heart: What kind of person is this? He has the nerve to take out such messy books.

Ji Xiaobei couldn't help but take another look at the banned books, but was forcibly pulled away by Mrs. Huang.

The three of them went to the drugstore, and Mrs. Huang followed the shop assistant in to weigh the herbs.

Mrs. Lin pulled Ji Xiaobei and insisted that the doctor take her pulse.

Ji Xiaobei was absolutely unwilling: if someone discovered her body flaws, how would she explain it?

Lin Po thought Ji Xiaobei was afraid that Huang Po would be unhappy if he found out, so she said earnestly:

"It's not that I don't trust your grandmother's medical skills, but I feel more at ease with one more person to see me!"

Ji Xiaobei couldn't persuade her and was pushed by her into a small compartment surrounded by a curtain.

As Ji Xiaobei came in, a gust of wind came in, causing the curtain to sway, revealing a pair of embroidered shoes from under the curtain.

Ji Xiaobei looked curiously at the embroidered shoes below, but Mrs. Lin turned her head away and whispered:

"Don't move, see the doctor!"

The doctor gently took her pulse, slightly closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened them, giving Mrs. Lin a fright...

"Doctor, is my daughter okay?" Mrs. Lin took two steps forward to the doctor and asked.

The doctor said coldly: "Maid, step back two steps!"

Maid?

Mrs. Lin ignored the doctor. After all, she was not a servant...

The doctor glared at Mrs. Lin, leaned back and said, "I'm talking to you, don't move forward, I'm not treating you!"

Mrs. Lin stood still and said, "I want to ask you how my daughter is doing."

The doctor's face froze and he said, "Well, you are fine. You are doing fine. Madam, what is the disease you are seeing? Are you feeling unwell?"

The doctor looked at Ji Xiaobei with some confusion.

"Oh, it's okay, doctor, I'm fine, let's go right away!"

Having said that, Ji Xiaobei pulled Mrs. Lin and walked out.

"No, Xiaobei, the doctor hasn't said whether you are okay or not." Mrs. Lin persisted.

"A woman who is about to give birth, but she is not weak at all... She is much stronger than a normal person. Why is she causing trouble in the pharmacy..."

Ji Xiaobei smiled awkwardly and said, "Doctor, I'm sorry to trouble you!"

A voice came from next door: "Madam, your medicine has been prepared. You really can't increase the dosage of the medicine you added last time. People with weak bodies can't bear it."

"Can't bear it? That's the best!" A cold voice sounded.

"My wife has already told me to increase the dosage. It's not like she won't pay you. How can you do this as a doctor?"

A sharp-tongued young voice.

"What happened has nothing to do with our Shanbao Hall. It was you, Madam, who insisted on adding this medicine."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, just add these..."

"Hey, girl, you can't do this. Someone might die..."

"Okay, that's enough!"

……

Ji Xiaobei was just about to lift the curtain to take a look when he saw that something was wrong with the patient next door. He actually did not follow the doctor's orders and took the initiative to ask for an increased dosage?

At this time, Mrs. Lin pulled her and said happily, "The doctor said you are fine. Okay, let's take good care of you. Doctor, do you have a midwife here?"

Mrs. Lin asked.

Ji Xiaobei also wanted to ask this, so he didn't pay attention to what was happening next door.

"Yes, yes, my midwife charges a consultation fee..." the doctor said impatiently.

Ji Xiaobei sneered: He's just a doctor, what's so great about him?

Humph! It turns out that doctors in ancient times also spoke so coldly and impatiently. Isn't it because there is nothing wrong with me and I didn't spend money to buy medicine in your shop?

Mrs. Lin took Ji Xiaobei out and happened to meet a little maid and a young woman coming out from next door.

They were exactly the master and servant I saw in the morning.

The woman has a thin waist and looks very young, but her clothes are ordinary.

The two people were walking and whispering, not noticing Ji Xiaobei standing beside them.

Ji Xiaobei recalled what had just happened and felt that it was strange. He turned back and wanted to ask the doctor what was going on.

After all, Ji Deyan got sick because she ate the residue of her medicine. Could the medicine be poisonous?

Seeing Ji Xiaobei was about to turn back, Mrs. Lin hurriedly said, "The doctor's tone of voice was a little bad, but we won't argue with him. Let's go, let's go!"

When Mrs. Lin saw Ji Xiaobei's face change slightly, she thought Ji Xiaobei was going back to argue with the doctor.

Ji Xiaobei: Does Mrs. Lin think that her daughter is a troublemaker and a shrew who will beat up anyone she doesn't like?

Forget it. I don’t know the doctor, so I probably won’t get any information even if I ask him.

However, the family next door is really strange.

The old lady is not mentally normal, and the young lady is not dignified at all. I have been here for so many days, but I have never seen the real master of his family...

After Ji Xiaobei and Mrs. Lin left, the two of them had already boarded the carriage. She had never seen the man driving the carriage before. It was Uncle Huang...

The carriage drove away...

After Huang Po came out, Ji Xiaobei and the others also got on the donkey cart and went to the Nanjiao Market...

Along the way, Mrs. Lin asked Mrs. Huang what medicinal herbs she bought?

Grandma Huang said that the weather is dry in autumn, so she bought some herbal medicines to reduce dryness and heat.

There are also some tonic medicines for daily use.

Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth and said, "These medicines all cost money."

She came forward and said to Ji Xiaobei:

"Bei, your wife Huang and I are thinking of finding some odd jobs. It's just right for us to go to the Nanjiao Market to see if there are any job openings!"

Mrs. Lin pulled Mrs. Huang's sleeve and said.

Mrs. Huang was surprised: When did I say I wanted to find a part-time job?

My boss has already paid me a year's salary, and I have a job.

"Ah, mother, don't worry about the money. I will find a way. I know what I am doing."

Ji Xiaobei said absentmindedly.

"No, I feel like I have nothing to do at home, so I'd rather... be with Mrs. Huang, right?"

Huang Po broke free from her hand and said, "I think we should finish making these cotton-padded clothes at home first, otherwise we will have to sell them to others to make, which will also cost money."

Mrs. Lin: "Old Huang, don't you have time after work?"

"If we do it at night, it will cost more lamp oil!"

Mrs. Huang stiffened her neck and said that since she had taken other people's money, she had to do her job well.

Her mission is to take good care of Ji Xiaobei!
