This is terrible! My future prime minister keeps trying to kiss me forcibly.

Just as Granny Wang was in a dilemma, a figure appeared in the courtyard.

“Aunt Wang, you can trust my daughter-in-law. She cured all my illnesses.”

Everyone looked up and realized that this was He Jing's mother, who had been ill for many years.

The person in front of me was dressed in coarse cloth and walked with a light step. She didn't look like someone who was terminally ill at all. Moreover, her complexion was rosy and she looked quite healthy.

She had lived in the village for so many years and had hardly ever left her home. She was sickly, and the villagers all guessed that she probably didn't have much time left.

did not expect......

She actually appeared in front of everyone today, and she doesn't look like a mother of three at all.

Aunt Wang also looked incredulous. She used to be one of the people who visited He Jing's house the most frequently. She had even met He Jing's mother before. She used to be lying in bed, looking like she couldn't even breathe properly.

It's only been a short time since we last met, but you seem like a completely different person.

“Aunt Wang, you have been kind to our family all these years. I can’t repay kindness with enmity and harm you, can I? Xiao Xiao can do it.”

Aunt Wang wavered.

"Xiao Xiao, do whatever you want. Mother supports you!"

Mother He glanced at the people in the courtyard: "Who says our Xiao Xiao can't treat medicine? She's a filial daughter, and when she goes to town, she goes to learn medicine from others. I believe that smart people won't believe those ridiculous rumors."

Looking at the person who was wholeheartedly protecting her, Ye Xiaoxiao felt a lump in her throat and suddenly couldn't hold back her tears.

"Aunt Wang, Mother, I'm going outside to find some herbs."

She found quite a few seven-leaf lotuses in the village without much effort.

Seven-leaf lotus has the effects of dispelling wind and relieving pain, promoting blood circulation and reducing swelling. It is also a medicinal herb with good efficacy in treating fractures.

Crush the leaves finely, wrap them in a clean cloth, and warm them over a stove to enhance their medicinal properties.

Ye Xiaoxiao gently tied the prepared herbal medicine packet to Grandpa Wang's right leg, then secured it with a piece of wood whittled by He Jing, and gave him some instructions.

"Aunt Wang, I'll come every two days to change the dressing. After resting for more than half a month, Uncle Wang will be able to get out of bed."

Upon seeing this, everyone realized that Ye Xiaoxiao might actually know some medical skills. Having a doctor in the village was quite convenient; after all, everyone gets sick sometimes. In an instant, the way people looked at Ye Xiaoxiao changed.

Feeling a little guilty, Aunt Wang went to the field and picked several cabbages and radishes for Ye Xiaoxiao.

......

On her way home, Ye Xiaoxiao was deep in thought.

Some things need to be done. If there were properly prepared medicine, it would be much more effective for Grandpa Wang's injury today.

Now that the survival crisis has been temporarily resolved, He Jing, the main villain... probably won't turn evil for now.

Then she could prepare some commonly used medicines first, and it would be even better if she could make some pills, but the current conditions are limited.

He Jing glanced at the person next to her without making a sound. She had been silent ever since she came out of Aunt Wang's house.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke: "Xiao Xiao... you... don't need to take those people's words to heart."

It cannot be denied that some people come with malicious intent.

"Hmm?" Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with doubt, but after a moment she realized what he was talking about. "I didn't care, I was just thinking about something else."

Something else?

He Jing paused, staring at the person in front of him who was taking his mother home. He saw her chatting and laughing as she and his mother entered the courtyard.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: Could she be thinking about that?

Some time ago, he had the idea of ​​divorcing his wife, and even secretly wrote a letter of divorce and hid it in the house overnight.

She said at the time that she would leave voluntarily once she cured her mother.

Seeing that my mother's health is getting better and better, is she about to leave us?

Was this what she was thinking about just now?

For some reason, the thought of her leaving made He Jing feel as if he had been stabbed in the chest.

......

In the afternoon, He Jing took the game he had hunted over the past few days to town to sell, and Ye Xiaoxiao also planned to go to town to buy some things.

Upon arriving in town, the two parted ways, agreeing to meet at the only bookstore in town.

He Jing went to the restaurant, while Ye Xiaoxiao went to buy needles, thread, and fabric for He's mother. She also promised to buy writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones for He Wuyou and his sister.

"Miss, miss! Look, isn't that the person we met a few days ago?"

The maid in green tugged at Qian Ruoyun's sleeve and pointed to He Jing, who had just entered the restaurant.
