Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"Who is this girl? Why is she living in your house?"

"This is the sister that my brother Sheng adopted when he was in the countryside. Isn't she coming to the capital to study? Both her parents are gone, so we as elders must take good care of her."

"Is that so? I thought one of your boys got married. If she's your adopted sister, it's fine. But this country girl, no matter how well she's educated, we can't get along with each other because of our different backgrounds."

The woman who was talking to Fu's mother had no intention of concealing her voice. Moreover, Shi Yan had sharp senses, so she could clearly hear the contempt in the middle-aged woman's words.

"What are you daydreaming about? Or do you want me to feed you myself?" There was no emotion in the man's tone. Just as Shi Yan came back to her senses, she felt a heat on her lips.

"Open your mouth."

The crispy dough and the salty and fragrant meat filling, after eating a fried bun, immediately aroused Shi Yan's appetite. At this moment, she was too lazy to pay attention to the conversation of several people in the living room. She wholeheartedly accepted the food that Fu Jin fed her from time to time, while her hands were not idle.

Accompanied by the sounds of laughter coming from the living room, Shi Yan had a happy meal before she and Fu Jin returned to the living room and sat down one after the other.

Because Shi Yan and Fu Jin arrived late, they just sat quietly on the sofa at the edge of the living room and couldn't join the others who were still chatting animatedly.

Su Yu came to visit the Fu family with her mother this time. Although her mother did not say it explicitly, she roughly knew what her mother was thinking, so as soon as she arrived at the Fu family, she behaved very appropriately, and from time to time she talked to Fu Sheng who was reading the newspaper silently.

It’s just that Fu Sheng acted too cold. In order to maintain her daughter’s modesty, she couldn’t be too proactive or it would seem cheap.

At this moment, he saw the sister that Fu Sheng met in the countryside and Fu Jin, whom he met once when he came in the morning, returning to the living room together. He looked Shi Yan up and down, especially her charming face.

He felt jealous and disdainful in his heart, but he still curled the corners of his mouth, raised his voice a little and started talking.

"Little Flower Sister, it's okay for me to call you that, right? I heard from my aunt that you've only just come of age, and you're two years younger than me."

Shi Yan was suddenly called by the young female comrade's name. After hearing what she said, she could only nod politely. However, she was still feeling dissatisfied in her heart, wondering what this female comrade was thinking by suddenly talking to her.

"Sister Xiaohua, my name is Su Yu. I am currently working at the Central Hospital of the capital. I heard from my aunt that you are also studying medicine. Although I did not go to college like you, I have also worked in the hospital for two years. If you have any basic medical knowledge that you do not understand, you can ask me. I will definitely tell you everything I know."

"Xiaohua is studying Chinese medicine, I'm afraid you don't have anything to teach her."

Fu Sheng, who had been reading the newspaper quietly, had a serious face and a somewhat aggressive tone. Su Yu, who was originally somewhat proud of herself, felt embarrassed after hearing this, but still forced a decent smile.

"I didn't ask clearly. I didn't know that Xiaohua was studying Chinese medicine. So how far has Xiaohua learned so far? Can she do acupuncture and feel the pulse? I have always been interested in Chinese medicine. I wonder if Xiaohua can tell me about it."

Shi Yan was speechless, and the atmosphere among the young people became a little awkward. In the end, it was Fu's mother who broke the deadlock.

"Xiaohua has only been studying for half a year. It's not easy for her to be able to take a pulse and diagnose illnesses. She needs to learn more."

"But Xiaohua will definitely work in the hospital in the future. If Xiaoyu has any experience, she can share it with you, Xiaohua."

Fu's mother gave Su Yu enough face, but some people always felt unsatisfied.

"Haha, we are all young people, just joking around. Since Xiaohua is studying Chinese medicine, treating patients and saving lives will be a big deal in the future. Just take your sister Xiaoyu's pulse and consider it as accumulating experience."

Liu Qiuhe and her daughter are closely connected, so she naturally saw her daughter's desire to compete with others.

"Yes, Xiaohua, just let me take a look. No matter what I see, I won't blame you. Just consider it as a chance to gain experience."

While speaking, Su Yu had already lifted her sleeve, revealing her fair wrist, and placed it in front of Shi Yan.

Yan really didn't learn how to take pulses and diagnose illnesses, and now she has only learned some pathology, but she has the plant-related ability to cheat, so she is not afraid.

At the beginning, he touched Su Yu's wrist like a famous doctor.

The plant-based ability quietly detected Su Yu's pulse. When she just talked to Su Yu, she had already noticed that Su Yu's tongue coating had turned white. Thinking about the various manifestations of illnesses she had seen in books, she naturally guided the ability to Su Yu's lower abdomen first, and indeed noticed something abnormal.

It only took a short while for Shi Yan to take the pulse and use her special ability to work in the living room. People in the room only saw the usually cute and well-behaved little girl with a serious face and a frown on her face, as if she had encountered some big problem. She even shook her head slightly when she stopped.

"Xiaohua, how is it? If you can't see anything, your sister Xiaoyu and Auntie won't blame you. Don't do something pretentious just to save face."

Liu Qiuhe didn't think that a little girl like Shi Yan could treat illnesses. She was anxious to ask questions just because of Shi Yan's behavior. She was afraid that the Fu family would misunderstand that their daughter had some strange disease.

"Yes, Xiaohua sister, just tell me, I won't blame you."

"Yes, Xiaohua, don't keep us in suspense. Look how anxious your sister Xiaoyu and aunt are."

Fu's mother was so anxious that she forgot that Shi Yan was still unable to speak. In the end, Fu Jin stood up, took a pen, and tore a corner of the newspaper to give to Shi Yan, asking her to write down what she wanted to say.

Shi Yan quickly combined what she had learned with what she had found out, wrote a long paragraph, and then stuffed the paper directly into Su Yu's hand.

"What are you doing? Why are you being so mysterious? Come on, let me take a look."

"The pulse is deep and tight, the tongue coating is thin and white, and these are common symptoms of uterine coldness..."

Liu Qiuhe stopped reading halfway, glared at Shi Yan with a gloomy face, then adjusted his expression and looked at Fu's mother.

"Alas, Xiaohua, this girl knows nothing. What nonsense is she writing? My Xiaoyu has been pampered since she was young. Even during the hard years in the countryside, her family never treated her harshly. I wonder how healthy she is."

"This result doesn't count."

Liu Qiuhe stuffed the written paper into her purse before putting on a smile again and changing the subject.

"Sister-in-law of the Fu family, I think your brother Sheng is a promising man, but he was delayed by the years in the countryside. Although he is studying now, he is also old enough to start a family. Does sister-in-law have any plans?"

"My daughter Xiaoyu is old enough to get married, but she is only thinking about working to save lives and heal the wounded. She won't even let me mention it. I don't know what young people are thinking these days!"
