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

He Ye: Are you blaming me? This is my own yard, how can I be so arrogant?

Fu Jichang: You are knocking on the door, do you understand?

He Ye: I almost shouted myself hoarse, but there was no sound in the room. I thought you were being murdered again?

Fu Jichang: ...Get out!

He Ye swallowed awkwardly, his expression very innocent.

The blush on Ji Xiaobei's face had not completely faded, but she quickly regained her senses and did nothing.

Saving the dying and healing the wounded is just practicing medicine.

If He Ye thinks too much, it means that his mind is not pure.

Ji Xiaobei tried to act as if nothing had happened: "You guys go ahead and do your work, I'm leaving first!"

Before she could even take a step, she heard He Ye say, "Miss Ji, don't leave. I'm the one who should leave!"

He slipped away with grease on his feet...

It seems that I can’t just come to my house whenever I want.

After He Ye left, the atmosphere in the room became even more awkward. They hadn't done anything in the first place, but with He Ye's fuss, it seemed as if there was really something going on between the two of them.

Ji Xiaobei looked at Fu Jichang angrily.

Fu Jichang glanced at Ji Xiaobei and said, "Don't worry about it. He Ye is just that kind of person. I'll deal with him when I have time."

Ji Xiaobei suddenly caught a glimpse of gloating in Fu Jichang's eyes.

She suddenly got angry: "Fu Jichang, I just want to help you, don't think I have any ideas about you.

If it weren't for the way you painted me, I wouldn't have saved you.

I saved you because I didn't want to make Old Mrs. Fu sad, so don't think too much about it.

Although I, Ji Xiaobei, am carefree, I am not someone that every man can be attracted to. By the way, when will you pay me back for what you owe me?"

Fu Jichang listened to her rapid-fire speech, feeling angry and merciless.

His anger immediately rose, and he glared at her angrily:

This woman only cared about money. She rescued me because she thought my grandmother and I could help her make money.

A woman with a heart as hard as iron!

He sneered and said, "You are after money after all. Tell me, how much do I owe you in total?"

"One thousand taels of silver!"

"Okay!" Fu Jichang sat up and fumbled in the kang box for a while. He touched two silver bills. After hesitating for a moment, he put one back.

He sat up straight and said, "You haven't cured me yet, so I can only give you half of it!"

As he said this, he placed five hundred taels of silver on the table.

Ji Xiaobei: You, old fox!

Ji Xiaobei grabbed the banknote and stuffed it into his arms without any hesitation.

Last night, Zheng Guo left a note asking for a blood sample to be sent to an institution for testing.

She originally planned to have her blood drawn after the injection.

Who knew something like this would happen.

To smoke or not, Ji Xiaobei was making decisions in his mind.

Smoke, don’t smoke, smoke, don’t smoke…

Seeing that she was still angry, Fu Jichang said gently, "It was just a misunderstanding, don't be angry! It's all He Ye's fault. When I see him next time, I'll give him a good beating for you. This guy is not only bad-mouthed, but also bad-headed. Do you know how He Ye bought this house?"

Ji Xiaobei glared at him unhappily: What does this have to do with me?

Fu Jichang continued: "This house belongs to an ordinary weaver. This family has a very beautiful daughter. One time, He Ye went to eat wontons at the best wonton shop in South City. You have also eaten there..."

Ji Xiaobei turned her head. She didn’t want to hear about wontons. She wanted to hear the story of He Ye and the woman.

Fu Jichang folded his arms and smiled as he told Ji Xiaobei how He Ye failed to pursue the girl, and in a fit of anger he bought the house, which scared the girl away...

Ji Xiaobei pulled up a stool and listened with great interest.

In less than an incense stick of time, the two of them were happily analyzing why He Ye liked common girls.

"Maybe ordinary women are simple and kind..." Fu Jichang said while peeling pine nuts.

"Forget it. Are all the girls from the royal and general families in the capital complicated and vicious?"

After Ji Xiaobei finished speaking, he blew all the pine nuts in his hand into his mouth.

"Not really. Anyway, this girl from an ordinary family has many advantages. Otherwise, why would he pursue her so relentlessly?"

Fu Jichang said with a grin.

"He has a problem with his brain. The daughter of a noble family has skin as smooth as a baby's and is extremely beautiful. Holding her in his arms is definitely better than holding a country girl..."

"Humph! That's not necessarily true. When it comes to people, we can't just look at their appearance. Inner beauty is more attractive than outer beauty, don't you think?" Fu Jichang asked meaningfully.

"Bah! Men are animals with lower bodies. Their butts determine their heads. When men see beautiful women, they can't move their feet. All men are the same!"

What Ji Xiaobei said was exactly what Zheng Guo said.

Ever since Ji Xiaobei's father cheated on her, Zheng Guo often said this.

So, Ji Xiaobei is already in his twenties, has been a kindergarten teacher for many years, and looks good, but he just doesn't want to find a partner. Maybe it really has something to do with Zheng Guo's teachings.

She has known since childhood that men are unreliable.

If you want to live a good life, you have to rely on yourself.

Fu Jichang stopped peeling pine nuts and looked at Ji Xiaobei in surprise.

How could she say that? There are still good men in this world.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Ji Xiaobei looked at his surprised expression.

Fu Jichang smiled awkwardly and said, "Some men are indeed attracted by beauty, but not all men are like that..."

Ji Xiaobei took the wet towel on the table and wiped his hands.

"Okay, time to draw your blood..."

"Blood draw? Where do you want blood?"

Fu Jichang was not afraid of bleeding, he was afraid that she would cut in the wrong place.

Seeing how nervous he was, Ji Xiaobei said quickly, "It won't hurt. It's almost like an injection, like an ant bite!"

Fu Jichang: Am I afraid of pain?

"Pull your arms back, pull up your clothes, and turn around!" Ji Xiaobei said.

Fu Jichang sat on the bed and did as he was told.

Ji Xiaobei was afraid that he would ask questions after seeing the blood collection device, so he picked up the towel on the bed and threw it to him, saying, "Blindfold your eyes!"

Fu Jichang had the same idea, covering his eyes to feel safe.

No matter how she messes around, I just ignore her and don't feel embarrassed.

He was full of righteousness and determined to hand over his life to Ji Xiaobei.

Seeing his fearless attitude of facing death, Ji Xiaobei smiled secretly.

The blood draw went smoothly.

Ji Xiaobei put away the things and asked him to untie the towel from his eyes.

"It healed so quickly. I don't feel any pain yet!" said Fu Jichang as he pressed the alcohol cotton ball.

"If you continue to pump, I'll drain you dry. Lie down. I'll make you a bowl of brown sugar water."

"I don't want to drink!" Fu Jichang refused bluntly.

Brown sugar water, isn’t that for postpartum women to drink?

Ji Xiaobei, what do you mean by giving me a drink?

Ji Xiaobei: If you don’t want to drink, then forget it. It will save me a lot of trouble.

Fu Jichang took out a cloth bag from under the pillow and handed it to Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei asked: "What is this?"

"Open it and take a look!" Fu Jichang said with a smile.

Ji Xiaobei opened the cloth bag and found a golden longevity locket. It was exquisitely made and was obviously a high-quality item and very expensive.

"For me?"
