But how much should this medicine cost? Since Nie Qianqian had only told the two brothers it would cost 2 coins, she wouldn't change her mind.

Grandma Ma looked at the two brothers with her cloudy eyes and said earnestly, "This old woman doesn't know anything about medicine, but this medicine shouldn't cost this much. She helped us because she saw that we were pitiful. It's a favor if someone is willing to help you, and it's their right if they're not. Although the Ma family is poor, we can't lose our moral compass. You two can't take advantage of Qianqian just because she's kind-hearted."

Of course, Da Ma and Xiao Ma wouldn't take advantage of anyone. Hearing what Grandma Ma said, they hurriedly asked, "Then what should we do? I'll go find Sister Qianqian right now and ask her about the price."

Grandma Ma called out to him, "Hey, since Qianqian has already said the price, she can't go back on her word."

Malaysia: "This..."

Grandma Ma: "You two brothers can't accept the wages for the next job. In the future, when the family saves some money, we will send it to your sister Qianqian. You two brothers must remember this kindness. We are all from the same village. In the future, when Qianqian needs help, you must be the first to stand up. If she is bullied, you must help her."

Xiao Ma patted his chest and said, "Of course! Sister Qianqian saved you, Grandma, so she's a great benefactor to our family. My brother and I may not have that much money now, but that doesn't mean we won't in the future. When we become successful, we will definitely repay Sister Qianqian's kindness."

Grandma Ma smiled contentedly. At this age, what else could she care about but her children? Both Da Ma and Xiao Ma's parents had passed away early, so Grandma Ma poured all her love and attention into her two grandsons. Compared to their peers in the village, they were both capable, and most importantly, honest and kind-hearted—good children. She believed they would amount to something in the future.

After the three finished speaking, Da Ma and Xiao Ma told Grandma Ma to rest for a while, and then the two of them went out to cook.

Although the two are boys, Grandma Ma is old and cooking takes a lot of physical effort, so the two brothers are the ones who cook at home, and they are both very good at cooking.

Xiao Ma was adding firewood to the stove, looking somewhat absent-minded. He almost burned his hand while putting in the firewood, and cried out in surprise.

Da Ma tapped him on the head, "What are you thinking about, kid? You've been spacing out. Be careful you don't burn your fingers."

When Da Ma asked, Xiao Ma's face flushed red in the firelight from the stove, "I was just wondering how Sister Qianqian is so amazing?"

Dama nodded in agreement, deeply agreeing.

Xiao Ma recalled the events of the day and sighed, "She's not much older than us, but she's very decisive. Take today's incident, for example. Anyone would have a headache dealing with a relative like Grandma Sun, and would argue for ages. But Sister Qianqian answered the question correctly in just a few words and left."

Dama: "That's how you have to deal with those kinds of relatives. If you don't treat them properly, they'll just keep trying to take advantage of you next time."

Xiao Ma added, "Furthermore, regarding Grandma's illness, the ailment that even Doctor Li couldn't cure can be treated by Sister Qianqian."

Malaysia: "This is indeed unexpected; perhaps Jishetang's medical skills are much superior."

Xiao Ma remained noncommittal. Jishetang's medical skills were naturally superior to those of ordinary clinics. Qianqian's ability to work as a pharmacy apprentice in such a clinic and remember which medicines corresponded to which symptoms was truly remarkable.

Xiao Ma: "That's only because Sister Qianqian is capable enough to get into Jishetang and learn this! Sister Qianqian is amazing!"

Xiao Ma had developed a deep admiration for Nie Qianqian. He was still young and had seen that most women of similar age spent their time at home around the stove, gossiping and spreading rumors about each other in the village, using these stories as spice in their lives.

Compared to other girls in the village, it's hard not to like Nie Qianqian.

Besides... there's something Little Horse is too shy to say to Big Horse: Nie Qianqian is just too beautiful. A close look at her makes Little Horse hold his breath and his heart race.

Actually, it wasn't just Xiao Ma who thought this way. After what happened today, Nie Qianqian's image kept appearing in Da Ma's mind. However, Da Ma was more mature and didn't show it.

Da Ma had just finished speaking when Xiao Ma, lost in thought, forgot to put the noodles in the pot after the pot had boiled.

If someone of Liu Yan's age were to clear the names of the two women and treat Grandma Ma's illness, she would be a living bodhisattva who saves people from suffering. But someone of Nie Qianqian's age would be a legendary fairy.

Today's matter was nothing more than Nie Qianqian following her heart and doing a small favor, yet it was like a rare cool breeze in the summer that blew into the hearts of the two brothers, a bright spot in their difficult lives.

Nie Qianqian never expected that her actions today would gain her two die-hard male fans!
