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

The child knelt down and kowtowed to Grandma Huang, saying, "Thank you, Grandma!"

He stood up and left.

The people standing by couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Mr. Mo, everyone knows that you've been skimping on your children's food. Your own son is white and fat, but your stepson is small and skinny. Doctor Huang didn't take your money, and you're still cursing..."

The woman took two steps back and walked away angrily.

As she walked, she said, "It's so hard to be a stepmother. If I had known this, I wouldn't have brought him to see a doctor!"

After prescribing medicine for two more people, Huang Po stood up and said, "I'll stop here for today. My boss is here to take me home. I'll come back tomorrow!"

Lian Feng picked up the medicine bags on the ground.

Everyone looked at the old woman in front of them in surprise. The boss even personally took her home. This old woman was no ordinary woman.

Huang Po followed Ji Xiaobei with a swagger.

Lian Feng followed trotting behind.

"You've made a lot of money, right?" Ji Xiaobei asked with a smile.

Before Mrs. Huang could speak, Lian Feng said unhappily, "What? You're paying for it. I bought the herbs. I boiled the pills every day for half the night. The next day, my godmother had finished making all the pills she had sold or given away. I still have to boil the herbs tonight..."

Before Lian Feng could say anything, Huang Po interrupted him: "Ah Feng, we are doing good deeds, you know nothing!"

Lian Feng and Xiao Zhuozi sat on the shaft of the cart, while Ji Xiaobei and Huang Po sat in the cart.

"Mrs. Huang, why don't I open a pharmacy for you? Practicing medicine in the wind and sun all day is not a long-term solution!" said Ji Xiaobei.

Lian Feng turned around and said, "Sister Xiaobei, if you open a shop for her, she will lose everything. It's better not to do it!"

Mrs. Huang said with a smile: "My godson understands me. I have a kind heart. A rich lady came that day. My godson gave her some medicine and took two taels of silver from her. He is really evil!"

Lian Feng felt wronged: "If I don't cheat, how can I buy herbs tomorrow?"

Ji Xiaobei: After Huang Po came to Anzhou, her medical ethics and skills improved rapidly. Fortunately, she came to Anzhou, otherwise her talent would have been buried.

When we got back to the handicraft shop, it was already dark.

During dinner in the evening, Ji Xiaobei called Mrs. Lin into the room.

"Starting tomorrow, I'm going to South City to eat, so you don't have to save any food for me!"

"No, mother has prepared a separate kitchen for you. How can you go over there to eat from the big pot?" Mrs. Lin disagreed.

Ji Xiaobei smiled awkwardly and said, "No, Mrs. Huang, Old Lady Fu, and Aunt Zhang want to hire a cook for Fu Jichang to nourish his body, and asked me to go with them to eat."

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she immediately said, "Okay, I think it's great. Old Mrs. Fu is really thoughtful. I'll pack your things for you right away..."

Ji Xiaobei grabbed her.

"Mom, do you really want me to leave?" Ji Xiaobei looked angry.

Mrs. Lin pretended not to hear and asked, "By the way, you can live there. There are rooms in the textile workshop and Fu Jichang's yard. I'll go over there and clean up a room for you today..."

Ji Xiaobei: You are truly my dear mother! Thank you!

"Mom, I have something else to do. Oh, yes, call Shitou over as well. Oh, yes, I've already taken Shitou to South City. Let me tell you, Shitou can't make the decision either."

Mrs. Lin paused and turned to look at Ji Xiaobei.

"Mom, I bought a farm. If you have time, go over and take a look. Go to Renya and find some people to help clean it up!"

Mrs. Lin turned around, scratched her ear and asked, "What did you buy?"

"Zhuangzi!"

Mrs. Lin opened her mouth wide and looked at Ji Xiaobei who looked relaxed.

"Zhuang, Zhuangzi... What Zhuangzi?" Mrs. Lin stammered, "How much, how much silver?"

"It cost less than two thousand taels in total..." Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Lin closed her eyes, her body softened, and she collapsed to the ground along the wall.

"Mother...Mother, what's wrong with you? Mrs. Huang..."

Ji Xiaobei shouted loudly.

The women in the front and back yards heard the shouting and ran over.

"Hey, Aunt Lin, what happened to you..."

"Sister Lin, you can't die. Our good days haven't even begun yet..."

……

Ji Ernai scolded, "Stop crying!"

She held Mrs. Lin in her arms and pinched her philtrum hard, determined not to let her die.

Pretending to remain calm, Mrs. Huang gave her two injections in the heart with trembling hands.

Ji Xiaobei took advantage of the chaos, took out a dozen quick-acting heart-saving pills, asked someone to get some water, and fed her the water along with the pills.

After a while, Mrs. Lin woke up slowly.

Ji Xiaobei: How come Mrs. Lin’s tolerance is so weak? No, we need to train her ability to accept!

As soon as she woke up, she grabbed Ji Xiaobei's arm.

"Xiaobei, how much do you think the manor is worth?" she asked.

"One thousand eight hundred taels of silver... to buy the farm"

As soon as Ji Xiaobei finished speaking, Mrs. Lin rolled her eyes and was about to faint again. Mrs. Huang inserted another silver needle into her to help her hold her breath.

The other few people sat down on the ground with a thud.

Open your mouth wide and look at Ji Xiaobei.

"Bei, how much did you say?" Aunt Song asked in a hoarse voice.

"One thousand eight hundred taels!" said Ji Xiaobei.

She didn't want to hide it anymore. After all, the manor was so big and people had eyes.

I'll have to make up for the lies I said today later. It's so tiring.

Just tell it out loud and let Mrs. Lin accept it.

In short, she had to accept it whether she wanted to or not.

Mrs. Lin woke up slowly and asked in a trembling voice, "Bei, did your grandmother Fu pay you again?"

Ji Xiaobei looked at Mrs. Lin's eyes and his heart trembled.

She was reminding herself that wealth should not be shown to others, because a tall tree attracts the wind, and people’s hearts are hidden!

Ji Xiaobei nodded seriously and smiled, "I paid two hundred taels, and the rest was paid by Grandma Fu. She likes places with mountains and water."

All the women's mouths finally dropped.

Ji Xiaobei hooked up with Old Lady Fu, and they clung to Ji Xiaobei's thighs, believing that as long as they worked hard, they would never have to worry about food and drink in the future.

"That's really great news, Xiaobei, if there's anything that needs to be done in the manor, we can go..."

Second Aunt Ji nudged Third Aunt Ji with her elbow.

Ji Sannai reacted immediately.

"Yes, we two can!"

The warehouse, courtyard and side rooms of the workshop were all cleaned up, but the two of them could neither sew clothes nor embroider.

That day, Ji Ernai was learning tailoring and she damaged a piece of good cloth. She was so angry that she slapped herself twice.

She never dared to touch it again, as she would feel sad if it got damaged.

The two of them cleaned the room and the yard every day, even swept the roof clean, and rushed to cook, taking away all of Caixia's work, which made Caixia pout.

Afraid of having no work and being fired by the boss.

Ji Xiaobei knew that if the two of them stayed any longer, the yard would be dented and the roof would be peeled off.

"Okay, you two go to the farm. If they need people later, I'll go buy some from the human teeth shop."
