Everyone hurriedly trotted towards Jinchu's house, and the doctor was already waiting in the yard.

When he saw Zhao'er, he quickly had someone put him on the couch, first grabbed his wrist and took his pulse, then opened his clothes and examined him carefully.

The small body was covered with bruises and reds, some from being bruised, some from being scratched, and some from being kicked and beaten. It looked shocking.

When they saw the scars on Zhao'er's body, they all lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Although Li Hunzi caused most of the injuries, the strangulation and kicking were definitely also caused by his own naughty child.

Jin Chu didn't care to look at other people's expressions, he just stared at the doctor and asked, "Excuse me, old sir, how is my little brother's health now?"

The doctor paused in thought, then looked at Zhao'er lying on the couch and said, "I have just taken the young master's pulse. It is weak and thready, with an irregular rhythm. He is clearly frightened and disturbed."

Jin Chu nodded repeatedly and asked, "How's my little brother's external injury? Is there any internal injury?"

"As for the external injuries, although they seem dangerous, they haven't damaged the internal organs, so they are easy to treat. Later, I will prescribe some soups to nourish the heart and calm the mind, soothe the liver and relieve depression, and you can have them take it. However..."

"Just what? I hope you can tell me."

Seeing Jinchu's anxious expression, the doctor stroked his beard and said, "The young master is still young after all. This shock may be easy to heal externally, but it will take time for the inner self to recover. The young lady needs to be mentally prepared."

After hearing this, Jin Chu finally felt relieved.

She bowed to the doctor and said, "Thank you for telling me, old sir. I'll take note of it." Jin Chu turned to look at Zhao'er lying on the couch and said softly, "I will take good care of him and comfort him carefully from now on."

The old doctor nodded, stood up and wrote a prescription. He then explained in detail the daily dosage and how to take it, and then left with the medicine box on his back.

After working for most of the night, everyone was exhausted. Seeing that the matter was over, everyone stood up to apologize and say goodbye to Jin Chu, and Jin Chu thanked them one by one.

When only Huizhen and Weiyue were left in the room, Jinchu remembered Uncle Wang, who was still in the city. She couldn't help but say apologetically, "Now Zhao'er has been found, but Uncle Wang is still stranded in the city."

Huizhen waved her hand nonchalantly. "What's the big deal? Maybe my dad can even stop by to see my eldest brother! If he knew Zhao'er was successfully found, he wouldn't be angry even if my dad made two more wasted trips."

Thinking of Li Hunzi, who had taken Zhao'er away, Huizhen asked, "Where's Li Dabao? Why can't I see him?"

"Before we even reached the village entrance, Er Nao's father took him away alone. It's said that he was first locked up in an unused room in his house. It's too late today, so everyone went back to rest. We'll discuss what to do with him tomorrow when we've recovered."

Huizhen nodded. "As long as our Zhao'er is fine, there's no need to rush anything else. Let's keep Li Dabao locked up for now. He can't escape anyway, so dealing with him sooner or later won't hurt."

She pulled Wang Weiyue aside and said, "Zhao'er is asleep now. You've worked so hard for so long. Go take a shower and rest! I'll take my younger brother back first and come see you tomorrow."

"Okay, then you guys should go back and rest!" Seeing Wei Yue leaving, she suddenly called out, "Wait!"

The two stopped in confusion and turned to Jin Chu: "Jin'er, what else do you want?"

Jin Chu hurried into the inner room and took out the set of four treasures of the study that had not yet been unpacked.

She walked up to Wei Yue and handed it to him, "Brother Yue, the set that Brother Wang gave you as a New Year's gift was already used by Zhao'er before it was even opened. Today, Sister Jin'er is giving you another set as well. It may not be as satisfactory as the one your brother gave you, so I hope you won't despise it and accept it. This way, Sister Jin'er will feel more at ease."

"Sister Jin'er, you are too polite!" Wang Weiyou looked at the set of four treasures of the study in front of him, which was even better than the one given by his elder brother, and his eyes were filled with surprise.

He was about to reach out to take it, but his eyes suddenly swept over his sister standing beside him. He immediately retracted his hand and looked at his sister pitifully.

Sensing his gaze, Jinchu smiled at Huizhen and said, "Look how scared you are of Brother Yue. My Zhao'er is your brother, but does that mean your Brother Yue is not my brother? As a sister, I gave my brother a set of pens, and you have to intervene too?"

"I can't argue with your clever words!" Huizhen glared at Jinchu in anger and said to her brother beside her, "Take it! After all, this is a gift from your sister Jin'er. I hope you will study hard and practice calligraphy in the future, and don't let her gift go to waste."

"Wei Yue thanks Sister Jin'er for the gift!" Wei Yue nodded repeatedly and took the four treasures of the study from Jin Chu's hands with both hands.

"Brother Yue, don't be polite. Go back and rest!" Jin Chu smiled and ordered the two of them to leave.

After the footsteps of the two gradually faded away and could no longer be heard, Jin Chu came to the kitchen, washed up simply, went back to the house, locked the door, and lay down to rest.

When I woke up the next day, Zhao'er was still sleeping.

Jin Chu boiled the medicine prescribed by the old man last night in a medicine pot and made a simple breakfast.

By the time she finished all this, Zhao'er had already gotten up.

He walked to his sister in a daze, squatted down and hugged her affectionately, staring blankly at a place not far away, neither smiling nor speaking.

Jin Chu touched his head distressedly and asked softly, "Zhao'er, you got up so early, did you get enough sleep?"

Zhao'er nodded silently.

"Zhao'er, is there any part of your body that hurts today? If so, I'll help you rub it."

Zhao'er shook his head again.

Jinchu continued to talk tirelessly, "Sister, you know Zhao'er is still in pain, but we consulted a doctor last night. You are just suffering from superficial injuries. Although it hurts, it will heal in a few days. Our Zhao'er is a little man. He will not care about this little pain. That's why Zhao'er shook his head at Sister, right?"

Zhao'er was silent for a moment, then nodded silently.

Jin Chu cursed those people in her heart, but on the surface she was still smiling: "Sister made medicine for you, and also made your favorite white rice and a big fragrant roast chicken."

Seeing Zhao'er's mouth slightly raised, Jinchu took advantage of the situation and said, "Let's drink the medicine first. Sister will give you some candied fruit, okay?"

Zhao'er's face wrinkled at first, then relaxed again. She looked at Jinchu and pleaded, "You have to eat three candied fruits."

"Okay, three pills is enough! But Zhao'er has to drink the medicine obediently!" After saying that, Jin Chu stretched out his hand and touched Zhao'er's little hand.

After all, he is still a child. After coaxing him for a long time, he finally agreed to talk!

Jin Chu asked Zhao'er to sit on the low stool beside the stove. She busily poured the medicine in the medicine pot into a bowl and let it cool for a while. Then she went into the house and took out some candied fruits and two snacks and placed them in front of Zhao'er.

"Here, drink it! After you finish it, all of this will belong to Zhao'er." Jin Chu said with a smile.

When Zhao'er saw the reward given by his sister, his eyes lit up. Without Jinchu's urging, he stretched out his little hand and picked up the bowl of medicine himself. He closed his eyes, with an expression of being ready to die, and drank it in one gulp with his head raised.

Jinchu waited for him to finish drinking, then quickly took a candied fruit and stuffed it into Zhao'er's mouth, praising him non-stop, "My Zhao'er is amazing! He drinks medicine faster than his sister!"

Zhao'er's wrinkled face slowly relaxed, and there was a hint of unconcealable pride in his eyes.

Raising a child is really not easy. Looking at Zhao'er's little smile, Jin Chu sighed in his heart.

"Jin'er, Jin'er, this is bad!" Huizhen's angry voice came over. She covered her chest and gasped, "Li Dabao, Li Dabao is gone!"
