This small skewer of candied hawthorn can be finished in three bites.

The woman and the little girl licked it at least dozens of times.

The candied hawthorn only suffered minor superficial injuries.

The little girl was fine, but the woman's eyes were red and swollen with tears.

Yu Wanwan sighed.

"No one says that women are born to suffer, but if we don't value ourselves and believe that we can only suffer in life, then we really can only suffer for a lifetime."

She didn't say anything else.

Her deeply ingrained beliefs, formed over so many years, cannot be shaken by a few words.

She only looked at the little girl with bright, sparkling eyes who was still licking the sugar coating on the candied hawthorn.

“You are good. You are no worse than your brother or any other man. So you deserve what other men deserve.”

The little girl looked at Yu Wanwan and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, I believe you, madam."

Yu Wanwan touched her cheek: "You should trust yourself more."

"You can try to fight for your future. It may not necessarily change anything, but it will at least give you another possibility."

Yu Wanwan couldn't articulate the kind of motivational platitude that as long as you work hard, things will definitely change.

Sometimes, even with great effort, there are certain things that may not yield results.

All I can say is that putting in the effort will create more possibilities.

But if you haven't tried, haven't thought about changing, then there's not even a possibility.

"If I work hard, can I be like you, Madam?"

Yu Wanwan shook her head very honestly: "No."

Unless she also has a time-travel system.

The little girl was a bit disappointed, but she quickly cheered up: "If I try my best, can I become the lady's maid?"

In her view, becoming a lady's maid was the pinnacle of her life.

All I can say about Yu Wanwan is that she's quite ambitious; she's worked so hard, yet she only wants to be a maid.

"You can try it."

This time, however, there was no direct denial.

We can't let people have no goals to strive for.

Looking at her, Yu Wanwan thought of the other two little girls she had seen in the group.

After those two little girls lined up to get their candied hawthorns, there's a high chance they won't actually eat them.

She led the little girl outside.

He then called over the little girls who were still in line and personally gave each of them a string of candied hawthorns.

He said, "You can eat right here in front of me. I'll wait until you're finished before I leave."

Right now, all she can do is try to ensure that they can eat candied hawthorns just like the boys.

The three little girls ate very slowly.

Even after being licked hundreds of times, the candied hawthorn is still completely unharmed.

The third and fifth sisters came back after handing out candied hawthorns.

Stand next to Yu Wanwan.

They took the remaining candied hawthorns, removed their masks, and began to eat them in large bites.

He then looked at the three little girls with curiosity.

The three little girls also looked at them curiously.

When they saw them wearing beautiful dresses, with clean hair and faces, eating candied hawthorns with ease, their eyes were filled with envy.

"Third sister, here's a bunch of your favorite strawberries, for you."

"Little sister, your fourth brother has two bunches of blueberries here, here you go."

The eldest and fourth brothers each passed their candied hawthorns to the third and fifth brothers.

The three girls then realized that the boys in their families would also give the best food to the girls.

They don't think it's a waste for girls to eat those things.

It seems that girls can really be just like boys.

They are no worse than others.

"Why are you three eating so slowly? Is it because the hawthorns are too sour and don't taste good?"

"Here, this is for you girls. You girls should all like strawberries and cherries."

The second son also came over.

He was holding several skewers of strawberries and cherries in his hand.

He picked out six skewers and handed them to the three little girls.

Each little girl received two strings.

After he divided the food among them, he gave the rest to the third and fifth brothers and Tao Xinran.

Then he went to Zhou Nan to ask for water.

The three little girls stared in disbelief at the two extra candied hawthorns in their hands.

It's unbelievable that someone would so casually give them such a wonderful thing.

And it was only given to them, not to the boys.

Yu Wanwan noticed that the three of them's mother was standing at the entrance of her courtyard, watching them.

When they saw that the second brother had given each of them two extra strings of candied hawthorns, they became anxious.

Some couldn't help but call out their child's name.

I wanted them to quickly bring the two extra strings of candied hawthorns back home so they could distribute them.

Only the woman she had just lectured was slightly better.

Although he was anxious, he turned and left after taking one look.

The other two girls hesitated.

They kept glancing at the candied hawthorns in their hands, then at their mothers.

If we listen to our mother and take it back to her now, then it will have nothing to do with them, and they will definitely not get to taste it.

But can't they take it back to their mother? They've already eaten one skewer, how can they eat so many more?

Yu Wanwan spoke up: "These things were given to you by my grandson, so you have to finish eating them in front of us before you can go back."

"But you'd better hurry, or you'll delay our journey home."

Yu Wanwan was genuinely afraid that they would lick those skewers until nightfall and still be unharmed.

Since Yu Wanwan had spoken, the three girls dared not disobey.

This time, instead of licking slowly, it opened its mouth directly to bite.

The three little girls were having a great time biting into the food.

A genuine smile appeared on his face.

"Madam, thank you, the candied hawthorn is delicious."

"Madam, the strawberries are delicious too. This is the first time I've ever tasted anything so good."

"Madam, I want to eat delicious food all the time from now on. I never want to suffer again."

Yu Wanwan hummed in agreement.

When they finished eating and were about to leave, she took out a few more White Rabbit milk candies and gave them to them.

"Let's go back."

The imperial physicians had already returned after taking the pulses.

Yu Wanwan looked at them: "How did it go?"

"Reporting to Madam, no epidemic has been found yet, but five of them seem to have caught a cold and have some fever. However, all the medicinal herbs in the city's pharmacies have been consumed as food, so I cannot prescribe medicine for them."

Yu Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, but not entirely.

She frowned. "Is the medicine completely unavailable in the entire capital?"

She knew that in ancient times, a cold could be fatal.

Even when medicine is available, it can still be fatal.

If there's no medicine at all, then these five people are just waiting to die.

"The palace still has some stock, but not much. It's reserved for the people in the palace as a precaution."

The implication is that the palace's inventory has nothing to do with ordinary people.

"I'll go back to the palace with you."

She couldn't bear to leave someone to die.

She just wants to borrow medicine from the Emperor for a few days. When she travels back in time next time, she'll bring the medicine back to him. She should be able to borrow it.
