I traveled back to ancient times, but I was able to lie down and relax.

As a result, the whole family went out again the next day.

Originally, Liu Nanjia wanted to go with Song Chen, but then she remembered that her younger sister had inhaled some sleeping pills yesterday and was worried about the effects on her health, so she took her along as well.

When they arrived at the clinic, Dr. Bai was quite surprised to see the whole family together. "Why are you all here today? Didn't you make something again, fried chicken? It's famous in town now. I've been thinking of going to eat it sometime."

Liu Nanjia smiled and said, "If you want to eat it, that's easy. Just tell me and I'll bring you a portion."

Then they talked about what happened yesterday and explained why they came today.

After listening, Doctor Bai's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant. "Your aunt is truly wicked. It's fortunate that nothing bad has happened. Sirou, come here, let me take your pulse."

Liu Sirou obediently went over, and Doctor Bai examined her for a while before letting out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, she didn't inhale too much sedative. I'll prescribe a formula for her to take first, and then switch back to the original one after she finishes it."

After saying that, he waved to Song Chen and said, "Come on, we need to take another look. It was almost healed, how did this happen again?"

Song Chen naturally cooperated and let him see it.

After reading it, I felt relieved: "Thank goodness, you're in good health. You just need to rest for a few more days and your condition hasn't worsened. It just means you'll need to get a few more injections."

Upon hearing this, Liu Nanjia and the others breathed a sigh of relief. If Song Chen's foot injury had worsened because of this, they would have felt even more guilty.

Afterwards, when the others in the clinic weren't looking, Liu Nanjia secretly asked Doctor Bai, "Doctor Bai, could you... sell me something?"

As she spoke, she rubbed her hands together, and with her mysterious expression, she would have looked rather lewd if she weren't still a little girl.

Dr. Bai found her expression somewhat amusing and lowered his voice as well: "What is it?"

Liu Nanjia chuckled, "It's just some self-defense powder, like sleeping pills, laxatives and stuff. Look at us, the three of us are kids, and there's no adult at home. Song Chen, don't let his size fool you, he's not that much older than me, and he's still injured. What would we do if something like what happened yesterday happened again?"

After saying that, she blinked at him and pulled Liu Sirou over, saying, "Quickly beg Brother Bai."

Liu Sirou was confused and was pulled over in a daze, but she still listened to her sister and said softly, "Please, Brother Bai."

Looking at the two of them, Doctor Bai couldn't help but chuckle, saying helplessly, "Alright, alright, no need to beg, I'll give you some. But it's a deal, it can only be used for self-defense, not for anything else."

"Don't worry! I would never use it for anything bad." Liu Nanjia made a series of assurances, almost to the point of swearing an oath to the heavens.

Dr. Bai nodded and went to prepare the medicine. He genuinely sympathized with these children; their backgrounds were pitiful, and they had been burdened with such unscrupulous relatives.

Since we're not selling fried chicken today, let's treat it as a day off.

After finishing everything at the clinic, Liu Nanjia took Liu Sirou to eat, drink, and have fun in town to soothe the fright she had suffered the day before.

Now that she has some money, she doesn't have to be as reserved as before. Whenever she sees something delicious or fun, she buys a portion for her younger sister.

For example, candied hawthorns, hair ties for children, and other small trinkets made Liu Sirou so happy that her big eyes curved into crescent moons.

When they finally arrived at the clothing store, Liu Nanjia suddenly realized that they hadn't bought any new clothes yet and were still wearing their old, patched-up ones.

Previously, when there was no income, people were afraid of running out of money and were reluctant to buy new things.

Now that I have a fried chicken business and can earn a decent income every day, there's no need to be so frugal anymore. At least I can wear something without patches so I don't look so shabby.

So he led his older brother and younger sister inside to buy clothes.

As for Song Chen, he's still at the clinic. It's best for him to keep his feet as still as possible and wait for them there.

When Liu Nanjia entered the store, she saw the same friendly waiter from last time and went to see him again.

"Hey buddy, I'm here to buy clothes again. This time I'm buying for all three of us. Can you help me with the selection?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter sized her up and seemed to remember her: "Oh, you're the girl who bought clothes for your brother last time, and you also bought a quilt."

"Yes, it's me." Liu Nanjia was quite surprised that the waiter actually remembered her.

"How could I not remember? It's usually the older women who come to buy things. It's quite rare to see a young girl like you come here," the waiter said with a smile.

Clothes for three people is quite a large business, so the waiter was even more enthusiastic this time.

However, Liu Yanxi was not very happy with such enthusiasm.

Because the waiter not only had a good attitude but also a good memory, he said, "You have an older brother who hasn't come yet? This young man probably can't wear the clothes I bought last time, right?"

Liu Yanxi's face darkened, but he couldn't refute it. Song Chen was so much taller than him, he really couldn't wear Song Chen's clothes.

Seeing that her brother's expression wasn't good, Liu Nanjia quickly laughed it off: "Yeah, just look at the clothes of the three of us this time."

Then he pulled the waiter to pick out clothes. Sure enough, no matter when, height is a man's obsession, and boys are no exception.

There weren't many styles of clothes available at the moment, and they were all pretty much the same, so it was quick to choose. Liu Nanjia generously bought three sets for everyone.

Of the three sets of clothes she and Liu Yanxi shared, one set was slightly more presentable, for when they came to town or for any occasion, while the other two sets were ordinary coarse cloth clothes for everyday wear. After all, they made fried chicken, which produced a lot of oil fumes, so they needed to change and wash their clothes frequently, and the clothes couldn't be anything less than durable.

Liu Sirou's three outfits were similar. She was a five-year-old girl, and Liu Nanjia didn't want her to do any work; she just wanted to keep up with them.

These clothes cost one and a half taels of silver, and that's only because they're all quite short and the clothes use less material. If it were for Song Chen, it would probably cost him almost one tael of silver for just one person.

Liu Nanjia had actually considered buying Song Chen a better set of clothes, but when she thought about his overall demeanor, which even coarse cloth couldn't hide, and how he still relied on makeup every time he came to town, she gave up the idea.

It's best not to make him too conspicuous.

Liu Nanjia felt a pang of pain when she paid such a large sum of money, but she was relieved when she thought she could earn it back in two days.

The waiter was delighted to have closed this sizable deal and even gave Liu Nanjia a few handkerchiefs and headscarves as a gift, which offered her some consolation.

After leaving the clothing shop, they went to Fang the carpenter's shop.

I've been busy making fried chicken lately and haven't been there for half a month. Since I have some free time now, I'll go check on him and ask about the drawings I gave him last time.
