Xia Chu returned to the deserted house humming a song. Grandma Wang had already packed two more baskets of flowers. She pulled out the money she had just earned from her pocket. Apart from the small piece of silver, she still had 105 coins.

Grandma Wang covered her mouth and said, "I really made money! So much! And silver!"

Xia Chu explained the source of the silver and said he was lucky.

Wang Xiaocong widened his eyes slightly, and the look he gave Xia Chu had changed.

Xia Chujian saw that the atmosphere was just right at this time, and she was still worried about Erwa. "Grandma Wang, I want to ask you a favor."

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Grandma Wang liked her to begin with, and now that she had made some money, she was even easier to talk to.

Xia Chu pleaded, "Could you please go back and take my second brother to see a doctor? He was beaten yesterday and didn't wake up when he came out this morning. I'm very worried. I'm in a hurry to make money because of this."

Grandma Wang frowned when she heard this. "Erwa was beaten up? Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll go back now. I... Dali, come with grandma. Xiaocong, you..."

Wang Xiaocong replied, "Then I'll go sell flowers with Xiaoliu. You guys go ahead. I know the way."

"Okay, then I'll take all the money." Grandma Wang gathered the money into her palm. "We'll see how much to spend when the time comes. Don't worry, Xiaoliu."

"Thank you, Grandma Wang. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to my second brother." After Xia Chu finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

"Hey kid, we're leaving now, so be careful." Grandma Wang took Dali and left.

Xia Chu took Wang Xiaocong and continued to walk towards the street they had just walked on, and mentioned the incident of someone robbing money on the way.

Wang Xiaocong admired her wit and said, "Next time, let my elder brother follow you. Although he is not very smart, he is very strong."

Xia Chu nodded, "Well, I want to give a bouquet of flowers to the uncle who just saved me, is that okay with you?"

"It should be given as a gift." Wang Xiaocong did not object. If it weren't for that person, today's money might have been robbed.

Back in the alley, Xia Chu called out from the window, "Uncle Yingxiong, are you there? I'm the flower seller from before."

After shouting several times, the window was finally opened. A little girl poked her head out and asked, "Who are you calling?"

A large hand reached out and pulled the little girl back inside. The man who had just jumped from the building revealed his face. "That voice sounds familiar. Let me see. It's you, kid. What else?"

Xia Chu raised her little face and said, "My brother went to see a doctor. I brought flowers to thank Uncle Yingxiong."

"What's the point of being a hero?" the man scratched his head sheepishly, his grin showing he was completely sold on the idea. "Come to the front door and have some tea."

"Hey, here I come." Xia Chu responded obediently.

"Wow, this is incredible! Dakang has also become a hero." A woman's joking voice came from the window next to her.

"Aunt Juan, please stop laughing at me." Dakang closed the window and went to the front to open the door.

Xia Chu walked in. Wang Xiaocong looked at his dirty straw sandals and hesitated.

"Come in, come in, have some tea. This is my sister Nini, she is the same age as you." Dakang's sister is a little girl wearing a red dress and two buns, she looks very cute.

"Thank you, brother." Xia Chu immediately changed her tone and took out the largest bouquet of flowers in the basket. "Brother, don't despise it. This is my best thing."

"I don't mind it. It smells really good." Dakang didn't refuse and accepted it happily.

"Have some tea." Nini poured water for the two of them and brought a plate of snacks.

Wang Xiaocong took the tea awkwardly and didn't even dare to look at the snacks.

Xia Chu drank the tea in one gulp. "Thank you for the treat. We won't disturb you anymore. We still have flowers to sell. I wish Brother Dakang and Sister Nini good health and longevity."

"You have a sweet mouth. Come over when you're thirsty or hungry. There's food and drink at home." Dakang felt that this child was very lovable and lowered his voice subconsciously.

"Thank you, brother." Wang Xiaocong also said.

After bidding farewell to Dakang and his sister, Xia Chu continued to sell flowers with her basket. After all, she was no child, and she could always accurately identify the target audience and coax them into buying flowers with sweet words.

Wang Xiaocong's eyes widened. Was it that simple? Could he do it, too? But he quickly shook his head. Xiaoliu was sweet-tongued and could even recite a few lines of poetry. He coaxed every flower buyer into a happy smile, but he didn't have that skill.

But wasn't Xiaoliu an orphan? How could he recite poetry? He couldn't figure it out.

By the time they'd sold both baskets of flowers, the sun was already high overhead. After running all morning, Xia Chu was starving. After discussing it with Wang Xiaocong, they bought seven cakes, one for each of us.

Wang Xiaocong took Xia Chu to Miaoshoutang, where Dr. Sun was a kind-hearted doctor who often provided medical treatment and medicine to beggars. He guessed that his grandmother would definitely come here for treatment, and sure enough, he saw Dali standing at the door as soon as he entered.

"Brother, have some cake." Wang Xiaocong stuffed a cake into Dali's mouth and went in with Xia Chu.

The doctor wasn't in, but a gentle-looking woman stood in front of the medicine cabinet. Seeing them come in, she asked gently, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Xia Chuxian smiled and said, "Hello, Auntie. My brother was beaten and is receiving treatment inside. Can I go in and take a look?"

The woman looked at the two of them and nodded, "Go ahead, be quiet, and go into the first room on the right."

In the first room on the right, Grandma Wang was peeking in at the door.

"Grandma." Wang Xiaocong called softly.

"Hey, you're back. Have you sold out everything?" Grandma Wang's brows relaxed when she saw them.

"Grandma Wang, how is my second brother?" Xia Chu asked hurriedly.

Grandma Wang sighed, "The doctor is applying medicine. He said the bone is broken and I need to lie down and rest."

It's okay, it's okay. Xia Chu patted his chest and leaned over to the door to look inside. Xiao Wu stayed by the bed, biting his finger as he watched the doctor apply medicine to his second brother.

"Fifth brother, come here." Xia Chu called softly.

Xiaowu turned around, his face wrinkled. "Xiaoliu, how much does this cost? We don't have any money."

"We have money. We've made money. Have some bread." Xia Chu took a bread out of the basket and handed it to him. "We'll have money soon. The most important thing is to see a doctor first."

"It's such a big pancake, let me break it for you." Xiaowu had never eaten such a big pancake before and was a little at a loss.

"One for each of you. Fifth brother, eat quickly. I have some too." Xia Chu raised the basket and shook it.

"Where did you get the money?" Xiao Wu asked in surprise.

Xia Chu waved her hand, "I'll tell you later, hurry up and eat. Where's big brother? We're all out now. He'll be worried if he goes back and can't find him."

"Brother didn't come back today, so he definitely didn't get any food." Xiaowu opened his mouth to drink the biscuit. He sniffed it gently and swallowed his saliva. "I'll save it for Brother."

"You eat yours, big brother has some." Xia Chu thought for a moment, "Do you know the way? Why don't you go back and wait for big brother first?"

"I recognize it. I'll go back then." Xiao Wu put the cake in his arms and ran away in a hurry.

Xia Chu looked inside the house and turned back to find that Grandma Wang and Wang Xiaocong had already left. She wanted to wait, so she squatted at the door, eating a cake while waiting.

After a while, the doctor came out and raised his eyebrows when he saw her. "Where did this little girl come from?"

Xia Chu blinked in surprise, but then she realized that this person was a doctor and it didn't seem like a big deal. She put down the cake and wiped her mouth. "Doctor, I'm a boy. How's my brother?"

The doctor nodded. "Hello, boy. Your brother is fine. He'll wake up soon after taking the medicine. Don't move easily when you go back. Try to lie down and rest."

"Thank you, doctor. I wonder how much the consultation and medicine cost? Do I need to take medicine later?"

The doctor was a little surprised to hear such a young child talking like an adult, and teased her with a smile, "Oh? Can you afford it?"

"I'll give it to you as much as I can. If I can't, I'll just owe you money. I'll definitely pay you back. Please save my brother!" Xia Chu pulled out a handful of copper coins from her pocket. "How much do you want?"

Seeing her serious look, Sun Wusi stopped teasing and said, "I don't want the consultation fee. If your brother wants to be completely cured, the medicine will cost at least 200 coins."

"Old Sun, there's a patient." Someone shouted from outside.
