A renowned ancient physician transmigrates into the body of an abandoned woman, only to be sold off

"What conditions?"

Village Chief Luo's voice trembled slightly; he was clearly excited.

"The first condition is that the fish must weigh at least two pounds. Another condition is that after I buy the fish from your village, your village is not allowed to sell the fish to anyone else."

"I have only these two conditions, Village Chief Luo. Do you think you can agree to them?"

Upon hearing Song Zhili's two conditions, Village Chief Luo and Luo Xi exchanged a glance. Village Chief Luo nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying that these were hardly conditions at all.

"I promise, I promise, girl, you're our savior!"

These past few days, Village Chief Luo has been so worried about this that he hasn't been able to eat. Their village wasn't well-off to begin with, and several families are struggling to make ends meet because of this.

Song Zhili was like a ray of light, shining into their dark lives.

“Alright, since you agree, Village Chief Luo, do you have paper and pen? I’ll write up an agreement for you.”

Upon hearing Song Zhili's words, Village Chief Luo frowned in distress. "Young lady, I don't have paper or pen here. How about this, we won't sign it. I trust you, young lady."

Seeing that Village Chief Luo had already said so, Song Zhili didn't know what else to say. "Alright, since that's the case, it's settled then. But I don't want the fish today. I need to wait two or three days before I can have someone come and get them. Is that alright with you?"

Song Zhili and her family's shop isn't ready yet. If they bring the fish back now, it will spoil in just a few days.

"Alright, alright, just come over whenever you want it, we have it anytime."

After speaking with Village Chief Luo, Song Zhili and He Chengjing got into the carriage and left. After they left, many villagers came to the village chief's house, wanting to ask what had happened.

Village Chief Luo happily told everyone about it, but he noticed that no one seemed happy.

"Uncle, Aunt, why are you both so unhappy? Isn't this a joyous occasion? This girl was willing to pay ten coins for our fish just now."

Seeing that no one seemed happy, Luo Xi asked in confusion.

"Luo Xi, are you stupid? The previous person only bought our fish for one coin, but this girl said she'd buy them for ten coins. Do you think that's possible? Besides, if she really wanted to buy our fish, why didn't she take any today?"

Upon hearing the villager's words, Luo Xi instinctively wanted to retort, but the village chief pulled him back and shook his head.

He was somewhat swayed by what he was being told, but in the end he decided to believe Song Zhili. "That girl said she would come in three days. We might as well wait a little longer. A few more days won't make a difference."

Some villagers still didn't believe what Village Chief Luo said, while others, like Village Chief Luo, hoped that Song Zhili would come in three days.

Song Zhili was unaware of what had happened in Luoji Village. At this time, she and He Chengjing had already returned to the house. When they came back, Song Zhili saw Hu Cuicui and Ji Qingqing cleaning in the yard, and she went over to help.

But Hu Cuicui stopped him, saying, "We'll be done cleaning soon. You've just gotten back, so go and rest."

And so, Hu Cuicui pushed Song Zhili to the doorway. After Song Zhili went inside, He Chengjing also went to the room next to Song Zhili's, opened the door, and went in.

When they arrived in the county town, no one recognized He Chengjing, so he stayed with Song Zhili and the others. Hu Cuicui and the others didn't say anything when they found out. The two of them were already engaged and would be family sooner or later, so it didn't matter where they lived.

When Song Zhili returned to the house, she saw that it was spotless. She smiled and thought that Hu Cuicui and the others must have cleaned it.

Song Zhili came out of the house again. She leaned against the door and waved to the two little ones who were squatting in the corner. "Ziming, come here."

When Song Ziming heard Song Zhili calling him, he dusted off his hands and ran towards her. Seeing this, Song Qiqi also ran over.

When Song Ziming ran up to Song Zhili, he asked, "Sister, were you looking for me?"

Song Zhili nodded and saw that Song Qiqi had also come over. She patted Song Qiqi's head before looking at Song Ziming and saying, "Ziming, you'll be eight years old next year. You can't stay in the yard playing with Qiqi all day. It's time for you to go to the academy. I'll take you to the academy tomorrow, and you can start going to school in the next few days."

Song Ziming had been quite happy when he ran over, but as soon as he heard that Song Zhili was going to take him to school, his expression immediately fell. He mumbled a reply, "Oh, I know."

Seeing Song Ziming's expression, Song Zhili almost laughed. Turning her head, she saw that Song Qiqi was also pouting, looking unhappy.

"Qiqi, why are you unhappy too?"

She could understand why Song Ziming was unhappy; he didn't like going to school. But she genuinely didn't know why Song Qiqi was unhappy.

"My uncle has gone to school, so there's no one to play with Qiqi anymore. From now on, Qiqi will play by herself."

Hearing Song Qiqi's words, Song Zhili picked her up and said, "Qiqi, be good. If you're ever bored, your aunt will teach you medicine, okay?"

"Okay, okay, Qiqi likes it when her aunt teaches me medicine."

Song Qiqi clapped and cheered, her previous disappointment instantly vanishing. Her performance dealt another blow to Song Ziming. He had said he was going to school and that Qiqi would be there to comfort him in his sadness, but now, Qiqi was no longer sad for him.

Song Ziming left alone, feeling dejected. He walked back to the corner of the wall and stood there, holding a twig, drawing circles in frustration.

When Song Qiqi saw that Song Ziming had gone back to play, she was anxious to go over to him.

"Auntie, put me down quickly, I want to go play with my uncle. He'll be going to academy soon and I won't have much time to play with him anymore."

Song Zhili put Song Qiqi down and let her go.

Soon, night fell. Song Zhili and the others sat around in the main room. This was their first meal in their new home, and everyone was very happy. After dinner, Hu Cuicui and Ji Qingqing washed the dishes together in the kitchen, while Song Zhili and He Chengjing took a walk in the yard. After walking for a while, they went back to their respective rooms to rest.

The bed in Song Zhili's room had no mattress, and it was a bit hard for her to sleep on. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Just then, she heard a knocking sound coming from the window of her room.

Song Zhili got up and walked towards the window. The weather was already quite cool at night, and Song Zhili had closed the window when she went to sleep. It was so late, and she wondered who was knocking on the window.

Song Zhili went to the window, opened it, and saw that it was He Chengjing outside. She was speechless. "Why are you knocking on the window when you have a door to knock on?"

He Chengjing originally intended to jump in through the window, but remembering that he had frightened Song Zhili before, he went to the window and knocked first to remind her.

"I was just afraid of scaring you. I was worried that knocking too loudly would make your mother and the others hear it. Could you open the door for me?"

After He Chengjing finished speaking, he glanced around, his expression revealing a secretive nature.
