He got up in a hurry, feeling uneasy, and rushed to his wife's room to check, while also thinking about how to express his apology and gratitude to Su Yu.

However, the moment he opened the door, he was stunned by the scene in front of him - Aunt Li and Su Yu were having a pleasant conversation, and the dining table was filled with delicious food, which was warm and harmonious.

Seeing Uncle Li coming in, Su Yu smiled and said to Aunt Li: "Auntie, I'll go back first. You should have a good rest. I'll come back to check your pulse tomorrow."

Uncle Li was so surprised that he was speechless for a moment. He thought that Su Yu might be unhappy because of his laziness, but now it seems that he was obviously overly worried.

After Su Yu left, Uncle Li immediately approached his wife and asked anxiously, "Qiaozhi, how do you feel? You really scared me."

Zhao Qiaozhi held her husband's hand tightly, expressing her gratitude: "Thanks to that kind girl, I feel much better now. Yesterday I thought I couldn't make it."

"Hey, we should avoid those mushrooms growing in the wild in the future."

Uncle Li sighed with lingering fear, and then turned his eyes to the table full of delicacies, "Did that girl make all these?"

Zhao Qiaozhi smiled and nodded in response: "Who else could it be except her? She is such a kind and good child who saved me time and time again!"

Uncle Li sighed softly, with a helpless look in his eyes, and slowly said: "Yes, that piece of silver was indeed hidden in my family for a long time, and it weighed one or two taels. At that time, I thought that I could not repay the life-saving grace, so I made a decision on my own and gave it to Su Yu."

His voice was low, as if he was recalling that decisive moment and hoping to gain his partner's understanding.

Zhao Qiaozhi's brows were wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character, and her eyes were shining with disbelief.

"Oh, my goodness, that one or two taels of silver is not a small amount! You just gave it to her casually, and she didn't even refuse?"

There was a mixture of shock and dissatisfaction in her tone, and she seemed to find it difficult to accept such generous behavior.

"How could a village doctor spend so much money? Now that I think about it, her excessive enthusiasm - cooking porridge, decocting medicine, and even frying several dishes - turned out to have an ulterior motive."

There was a hint of bitterness in Zhao Qiaozhi's words, and her heartache was evident.

This money was saved by the couple every day, and it suddenly disappeared, making her worried about her future life.

Seeing this, Uncle Li gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "You misunderstood Su Yu. She didn't take the initiative to mention the money. I insisted on giving her a thank you gift. After all, what could be more important than your health? I did this out of my sincere gratitude."

His words were sincere and firm, trying to eliminate the grudge in Zhao Qiaozhi's heart.

"Let's not say such things in the future. After all, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, not to mention saving your spouse."

Uncle Li comforted her gently, hoping that Zhao Qiaozhi could let go of the knot in her heart.

Zhao Qiaozhi pursed her lips and finally stopped arguing, but the unhappiness between her brows did not completely disappear.

In her opinion, even if the money was given by Mr. Li voluntarily, Su Yu could have refused it, but she accepted it, which inevitably made people think that she was greedy for money.

This thought was like a tiny thorn, piercing her heart and causing her dull pain.

At the same time, when Su Yu stepped into her own yard, Xie Xinghua had already prepared a simple but warm lunch and was waiting for her with a smile on her face.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, dappled onto the dining table, adding a bit of warmth.

After lunch, Su Yu chose to take a nap in the shade under the eaves. The breeze on his face was refreshing.

Her thoughts had drifted to her afternoon plans - going up the mountain to pick mushrooms and check the wild fruits that had been marked earlier, hoping to find ripe fruits to satisfy her desire for natural delicacies.

At this time, the yard was bustling with activity. Xier carefully placed the chicks and ducklings into the small yard surrounded by a bamboo fence, and they explored everywhere excitedly.

Erya's idea added a special care for these little guys. She used the remaining bamboo to make a simple feeding trough and reminded Su Yu of the ducklings' need for water. Her serious look made people laugh.

Su Yu was deeply touched by Erya's attentiveness. When the latter offered to help release the ducks, she agreed without hesitation and expressed her gratitude for Erya's trust.

A shy blush appeared on Arya's face, and a helpful light flashed in her eyes.

After hearing this, Xier and Sanya also clamored to join in. Soon, the three of them led a group of ducks and headed towards the small river beside the village with laughter.

In the sunshine, the ducks move forward in an orderly manner under the guidance of the children, and the picture is full of the tranquility and harmony of rural life.

On the other side, Xie Xinghua pulled Su Yu to the woodshed, and a strong desire to improve living conditions arose in her heart.

"Come and take a look. I've always wanted to turn this woodshed into a kitchen, but I don't know where to start. You're thoughtful and you'll definitely be able to come up with a good idea."

Her eyes were full of anticipation.

Su Yu looked carefully at the old woodshed. The light coming through the crack in the door seemed dim and crowded, and the space was so cramped that it made people feel depressed.

She shook her head and offered a straightforward suggestion: "A room like this is really not suitable for direct renovation. It's not easy to open a window. It would be more appropriate to build a new one. It would be bright and practical."

Although Xie Xinghua looked hesitant after hearing this, she was gradually moved by Su Yu's reasonable analysis.

Thinking of her second brother's craftsmanship and the solution proposed by Su Yu, she had an idea in her mind.

Solving material problems, finding craftsmen, planning the budget, everything seemed to be falling into place.

Thinking of this, Xie Xinghua felt excited and decided to go back to her parents' home immediately to resolve the matter.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Ziling in a hurry, she set out on the road back to her parents' home with firm steps, her heart full of longing for the new kitchen.

All this busyness is not only to welcome Daya's return and provide her with a better living environment, but also an expectation for the family's future happy life.

Su Yu gently placed the backpack on his shoulders, tightly grasped the thin rope of the bamboo basket in his hand, and walked briskly onto the winding mountain road.

The sunlight shone on her through the sparse treetops, adding a touch of warmth to this ordinary day.

At home, Jiang Ziling was busy in the pharmacy. He carefully selected each herb, his fingers moving deftly between them. Although the gauze wrapped around his body vaguely revealed the scars, the concentration and determination on his face seemed to have ignored the pain.

Those hands, which have experienced many hardships, now dance among the herbs. Every touch and every rub carries the silent care for the family.

Since Jiang Xunzhong accidentally obtained the sixty taels of silver, his attitude towards life has undergone a drastic change.
