Doctor Du walked to a small table nearby, quickly wrote down a prescription, and handed it to Lu Jiao.

"The ginseng used here is ten-year-old. If you can find ginseng that is older, you will need to change the dosage."

This doctor is interesting.

Lu Jiao just glanced at it and did not take it: "Doctor Lao, please prescribe today's medicine first. I have a fifty-year-old ginseng at home, which will be delivered later.

Then I will ask Dr. Du to change the prescription."

"It's easy to talk about."

Dr. Du now understood better who was paying.

He stuffed the prescription into Liu's hand and said, "Give her some rice soup that's easy to digest these days."

"Yes Yes!"

Lu Jiao followed Doctor Du to the medicine cabinet and handed the medicine boy a ten-liang silver note.

"Is the money for acupuncture and medicine for the next two days enough?"

The medicine boy's originally worried expression suddenly brightened up.

Doctor Du tapped the boy's forehead helplessly and said, "Don't blame me, young master."

Lu Jiao just smiled and didn't ask whether the medicine boy was rude.

"Mrs. Liu will need to stay in the clinic for two days. We will take her over after we have settled her down."

Doctor Du had known the Liu family for seven or eight years, and he really couldn't bear to watch Grandma Liu die.

But these days, there are too many miserable people. He can only help one or two, but not everyone.

Just talking about the Liu family, he had bought medicine on credit several times.

Although he paid it back gradually, his wife still had some complaints.

This time, the Liu family met a noble person, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell.

He hesitated to speak, wanting to ask Lu Jiao if he could help others, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Lu Jiao noticed Doctor Du's hesitation and said, "Doctor Du, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Doctor Du heaved a sigh of relief: "I think the young master is a kind-hearted person..."

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Lu Jiao subconsciously refused three times in a row, leaving Doctor Du speechless.

But she understood Doctor Du's intention: "In this way, the Liu couple will go to my house to work and pay off their debts, and there will be no one to take care of Old Lady Liu here.

If there is a poor family willing to take care of Old Lady Liu's daily life, meals and medicine, I can pay her fifty cents a day and provide food.

This money is enough to buy a dose of medicine. Do you think it is feasible?"

Doctor Du bowed and said, "Young Master is a good man!"

Not a great person, just a nice guy.

Lu Jiao accepted the nice guy card: "I just don't want others to treat me as a sucker!"

Doctor Du: I feel like I’ve been hinted at. It’s definitely not an illusion.

The two reached a tacit understanding. Doctor Du continued to sit in the clinic, while Lu Jiao took Shorty Liu back.

They called another mule cart on the street. This time the mule cart was narrower and should be able to fit into the alley.

While Lu Jiao was negotiating the price with the driver, Liu the Shorty was taking notes silently. He was not the kind of person who took everything for granted.

He saw it all when Lu Jiao gave him the silver note before. He handed over the ten taels of silver note without even blinking.

It made him feel so distressed.

Although he planned to sell his entire family to this young master, he still had to work hard to pay him back for all the money he spent.

Lu Jiao had no idea that Liu the Shorty was having so many inner thoughts. After negotiating the price for renting the mule cart for two days, he got into the mule cart.

"Lao Liu! What are you still standing there for? Get in the car!"

"Hey! Here it comes!"

The two of them quickly returned to Liu Aizi's home.

On the way, they both agreed that they came back this time just to move.

I’m afraid the Liu family’s previous place is no longer habitable.

Their family of four can help Lu Jiao guard the house in Yonghefang for the time being.

As for whether he would go back to his old business and continue running the meat pie stall, he would have to wait until Lu Jiao returns from the northwest.

It just so happens that it will take two or three months for Old Lady Liu to fully recover.

As soon as Lu Jiao and Liu the Shorty got off the mule cart, Liu Shuanzhu and Xiaohua, who had been observing the movements outside through the crack in the door, ran out from the main house.

Liu Xiaohua hugged Liu Aizi's thighs and sobbed softly, "Dad, they came into the kitchen again and took away all my firewood."

Shorty Liu clenched his fists. When he saw the axe in his son's hand, his blood boiled and he wanted to rush over.

"Don't be impulsive! Pack your things quickly!"

Lu Jiao's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Liu the Dwarf's head, and his eyes instantly became clear.

He patted his daughter's back gently: "Go and pack your and your mother's clothes. Do you know where her clothes are?"

"I know, Dad."

In Lu Jiao's opinion, the eight-year-old girl was not even as tall as the five or six-year-old children in the end of his previous life.

The clothes were baggy on his body, and you could tell there were thin arms and legs underneath without using your mental strength.

Lu Jiao sighed, the road to gaining weight is long and arduous.

Liu the Dwarf thought she was upset about spending too much money, and felt a little uneasy: "Master, don't worry, our family will definitely return the money to you!"

Lu Jiao's eyes slowly moved to him: "Your whole family is mine now, you will only have monthly salary in the future, what else can you pay back!

What are you standing here for? Take away everything of value in this room, and leave the rest of the junk behind!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Liu the Dwarf originally wanted to mention that there was still half a month's rent left on the house, but it probably wouldn't be returned.

He didn't care about the sadness of leaving and went into the house to pack his things.

Lu Jiao expanded his mental power and explored the room.

It can indeed be said that the house is bare and there is nothing valuable left.

Seeing that Liu the Shorty was still trying to roll up Old Lady Liu's bedding, Lu Jiao hurriedly stopped him.

"They are all covered with starch, so don't take them. Bring some clothes that you can wear. If you need anything else, you can find a ready-made clothing store on the way and buy something ready-made.

Oh, and don’t forget to take the things on the beams.”

"Ah?" Liu the Dwarf looked confused. "What's on the beam?"

"You do not know?"

"What do I know?"

Lu Jiao thought for a moment and said to Liu Shuanzhu, "Shuanzhu, go out and close the door. Guard the door well. If anyone approaches, speak loudly!"

"okay!"

Liu Shuanzhu walked out of the main room, not forgetting to take his sister with him.

The two of them sat on the doorstep and shared a vegetable dumpling.

Lu Jiao took two quick steps, stepped on a pillar inside the house, reached out and grabbed the beam, and took down a heavy little box from it.

When placed on the kang, a metallic collision sound was heard from inside.

"Hold it, you can open the door now."

Liu Shuanzhu was very smart and immediately understood what Lu Jiao meant.

He pushed the door open and still sat on the threshold with his sister, guarding the door.

But Liu the Shorty's attention was attracted by the wooden box on the kang.

"Sir, let's return it to the owner!"

Lu Jiao patted his arm unhappily and said, "Do you think that if this thing really belonged to the owner of the house, he would have forgotten about it for so many years and never come back to get it?"

As he spoke, he exerted a little force with his fingers and the small lock on the wooden box was unscrewed.

As expected, there were several neatly stacked silver ingots inside, with the top layer alone weighing fifty taels.
