As the group was about to leave, Li Wen caught up with them and said, "Old man, you just fell down. I'll ask someone to give you a ride."

Doctor Zheng was about to refuse.

But Li Wen raised his hand to block him, "I have already arranged a car. Consider it my thanks to the old man for his donation to the children of the Orphanage. You don't have to refuse it."

Soon, a constable came trotting over, followed by a donkey cart.

Now that things have come to this, it would be hypocritical to refuse again.

Doctor Zheng thanked Li Wen and invited Song Zhi and her brother to go back together in the donkey cart.

Song Zhi still had something to discuss with Doctor Zheng, so without hesitation, after thanking him, she took her sister-in-law and got on the donkey cart.

This made Zheng Hui look sideways frequently.

She used to think that this man was arrogant, but she didn't know he was so eloquent.

The owner of the drug store suffered such a great loss at her hands after arguing with her.

On the other hand, I was only one year older than her, but when my grandfather was bullied, I was unable to fight back.

Zheng Hui couldn't help but feel annoyed at herself for being useless, and felt quite unhappy.

I am not even as good as Song Zhi, whom I used to think was arrogant and unreasonable.

Just when she was feeling sad.

Song Zhi, who was standing by, started chatting with Doctor Zheng in a casual manner.

Doctor Zheng looked at the backpacks and baskets on the siblings' backs and hands and asked, "Are you setting up a stall in the county town?"

Song Zhi nodded and said, "Bring some home-cooked food to the county town to try and earn some money to supplement the family income."

Doctor Zheng smiled and nodded, "Azhi has grown up and knows how to share the burden of the family."

After saying that, he looked sadly at the basket full of herbs. He could not believe that a man of his age was not even as good as a child. Not only did he fail to sell the herbs, but he was also bullied.

If Ah Zhi had not appeared in time today, who knows how the two of them would have been bullied.

Song Zhi followed the man's gaze towards the backpack and suggested, "What a coincidence! I was thinking of discussing something with Grandpa Zheng when we get back."

Doctor Zheng broke free from his melancholy and tilted his head to listen.

Song Zhi prepared her thoughts in her mind before she said, "It's like this. I was looking for herbs in the mountains earlier, and luckily, Grandpa Zheng taught me a few herbs."

"Later, I took those herbs and went to the city's medicine shops to sell them. At first, I didn't know the value of these herbs, I just thought I could exchange them for money. For this, my grandmother and aunt also helped me collect a lot of herbs."

"Later, I went to the city to sell herbs, and by chance, I met a patient who was buying herbs. It was clearly the same herbs, but the ones I sold were very different from the ones sold at the pharmacy. That's when I realized that I had been deliberately undercut by the price."

"After that, these herbs have been kept at home. Coincidentally, today we met a pair of merchants from other places who wanted to buy some herbs."

Song Zhi then told Dr. Zheng the price she and Xu Feng had agreed upon.

Then he said, "I want to ask Grandpa Zheng, do you have any herbs for sale?"

Before Doctor Zheng could answer, Zheng Hui asked in surprise, "Is the other party really willing to pay such a high price for the medicine?"

Song Zhi smiled sheepishly and said truthfully, "At first he was reluctant to offer such a high price, so I suggested Doctor Zheng. If his price was too low, I wouldn't have introduced you to him."

Zheng Hui was not angry about using her grandfather as a bargaining chip.

Instead, she tilted her head and said happily to her grandfather, "Grandpa, if the herbs at home can be sold at such a high price, then you can keep some of them. Grandma won't blame you."

Most of the villagers were poor, and most of the time they came to him for medical treatment they paid on credit.

Although Doctor Zheng was able to cure illnesses and save lives, he was troubled by the fact that most of the people he treated were like Song Zhi's family, who could not afford any money.

In the past three years, my wife and granddaughter have not had a good life with him.

Doctor Zheng couldn't help but smile when he saw his granddaughter so happy. He turned to Song Zhi and said, "Okay, I'll go to the county with you tomorrow."

Having achieved her goal, Song Zhi responded happily.

With the help of a donkey cart, the group quickly arrived at Xiaohezi Village.

Doctor Zheng stopped the donkey cart at the entrance of the village.

Because the two families were not in the same place, after getting off the car, Song Zhi thanked Dr. Zheng and then led her sister-in-law away.

After the people left, Dr. Zheng also led his granddaughter home. When they were almost home, Dr. Zheng stopped and told his granddaughter,

"When you get back, don't mention what happened in the county today to your grandma, so she won't worry anymore."

With Song Zhi's words, Zheng Hui felt relieved. She nodded and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. If grandma asks about it later, I'll say that we met Song Zhi in the county and that the herbs have already been bought."

As expected, things went very smoothly for the grandfather and grandson. Far from having any doubts, Wang was very happy instead.

On Song Zhi's side, there were some twists and turns.

Maybe it was Mrs. Huang or Mrs. Zhao who came back and told her about Song Zhi's good food business.

Every villager they met along the way would pull the siblings aside to ask them some questions.

Some are extremely thick-skinned.

For example, Aunt Hu, when she heard Huang talk about how good Song Zhi's business was.

Tete was waiting for a few people on the road that Song Zhi had to take to go home.

Seeing Song Zhi, Aunt Hu immediately greeted her warmly and said with a smile: "Why don't you come to my house to play recently?"

After that, he took Song Zhi's arm in a very familiar manner and wanted to take her home. "Yingzi is spinning hemp thread at home. Come on, let's talk at home."

After being busy for most of the day, Song Zhi still had to make pastries when she got home. She was in no mood to flatter the other party.

She twitched her arm, but it didn't move. She said with a forced smile, "Auntie, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, just say it here. I still have work to do when I get back."

Song Zhi knew that the reason why she had always been at odds with her aunt was because she had been instigated by the person in front of her.

If she wasn't afraid that her personality would change too much and arouse suspicion, she would not bother to talk to such a gossipy person.

Lest you defile your ears.

When Aunt Hu heard her say that she was going back to work, her eyes rolled involuntarily. "Tell me, is your aunt ordering you around again? I told you that she's cruel to you sisters..."

Ever since Aunt Hu showed up and blocked the siblings' way, Song An's nerves have been on edge.

In the past, whenever my sister and mother quarreled, it was this person who instigated them. He was afraid that his sister, who had become a better person, would be coaxed into quarreling with mother again by her with just a few words.

This person really has bad intentions.

She actually dared to deceive his elder sister in front of him.

Song An's eyes widened in anger, and he roared angrily: "Let my sister go."

After that, like a calf, he rushed directly towards Hu who was holding Song Zhi.
