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

"Sister Li, it's me, Wende. Please open the door, I have something I want to tell you."

Upon hearing Granny Li's voice, the village chief immediately responded loudly.

Not long after he finished speaking, the door slowly opened, and Song Zhili saw an old woman with a hunched back and a full head of white hair appear in front of them.

When the village chief saw the door open, he smiled and took the food box from Amei's hands, then handed it to Granny Li.

"Hehe, Sister Li, I'm bothering you so late. Are you still awake? This is some food my wife made. She specially asked me to bring it over for you to try."

Grandma Li didn't immediately take the food box; instead, her gaze fell on Song Zhili and Amei, who were standing behind the village chief.

Song Zhili felt Granny Li's gaze fall on her. She raised her head, revealed a gentle smile, and looked at Granny Li.

Granny Li sized her up for a while before turning her gaze to the village chief. "Wen De, you wouldn't come here without a reason. Tell me, what brings you here today?"

When the village chief realized that Granny Li had seen through his intentions, he didn't hide it and pointed to Song Zhili standing behind him.

"Sister Li, it's like this. This girl was brought back by Amuyi. She once saved Amuyi's life. I heard her say that she intends to learn the Gu poison technique from our village."

The first person I thought of was you, Sister Li. Sister Li, could you please take a look at her? Would you be interested in having her study under you?

The village chief treated Granny Li with utmost respect, even bowing slightly when speaking to her, which was enough to prove that Granny Li must have a very high reputation in their village.

"Greetings, Granny Li. My name is Song Zhili. I sincerely wish to learn the art of Gu poison. Please accept me as your apprentice and teach me this art of Gu poison."

Song Zhili stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Granny Li. She was very nervous, wondering if Granny Li would agree to teach her.

After a long while, Song Zhili still didn't hear Granny Li say anything. She remained in a bowing posture, and after a while, her back started to ache. Since she didn't hear Granny Li speak, she didn't dare to stand up on her own.

This was the first time in her life that she had ever so earnestly begged someone to hand over their belongings.

Just as she decided to get up and leave, she heard Granny Li's voice coming over, "Wen De, you should go back. You know I always value first impressions when accepting apprentices. I don't feel any connection with this girl. You should find someone else to teach her."

When Song Zhili heard what Granny Li said, it would be a lie to say she wasn't disappointed, but since that was already the case, she wasn't the kind of person to be shameless.

Seeing that the village chief was about to step forward to speak for her, she spoke up in time, "Village chief, thank you for your kindness. Since Granny Li is unwilling to take me as her apprentice, then let's go back."

The village chief turned his head and glanced awkwardly at Song Zhili. He was also quite helpless, after all, it was Granny Li's decision, and he couldn't change it.

"Alright, Sister Li, you should rest early. You can take them later. I'll take them back first and come see you another day."

The village chief handed the food box to Granny Li and put it in her hand before turning around and leading Song Zhili and Amei toward his home.

On the way, the village chief, fearing that Song Zhili would be upset, thought for a moment and said, "Miss Song, don't be too sad. Granny Li's personality is eccentric. If she is unwilling, we can't force her."

I'll find someone else to teach you. It's getting late, let's go back and rest."

Song Zhili nodded. Actually, she wasn't too upset that Granny Li didn't want to take her in.

Finding someone else will have the same effect.

Thinking this, she smiled and replied to the village chief, "Village chief, it's alright, I won't take it to heart. By the way, when we went out earlier, I heard the old lady tell you that Granny Li especially loves to eat delicious food, right?"

"If I could cook a delicious meal for Granny Li, Village Chief, do you think she would accept me as a guest?"

"Miss Song, I never expected that someone as delicate and frail as you could cook such delicious food. What kinds of dishes can you make?"

When Amei heard that Song Zhili could actually cook delicious food, her eyes lit up and she turned to look at Song Zhili.

She had previously guessed that Song Zhili and the others were likely young ladies from some family. Generally, young ladies from outside the mansions never lifted a finger to do housework; these tasks were done by servants.

Song Zhili actually said she could cook delicious food, which really surprised Amei.

Not only was Amei surprised, but the village chief was also surprised. However, he reacted faster than Amei and replied, "If you can really cook the dishes that Sister Li likes, I reckon she might come to your door and beg you to become her apprentice, as long as you cook delicious food for her every day."

Granny Li had no other hobbies but loved to eat. She wasn't originally from their village; she came to their village by chance.

In fact, their village was just an ordinary village at the beginning, and everyone was a farmer who did not know this kind of Gu poison technique.

Later, it was Granny Li who taught a few people in the village the art of Gu poison, which was passed down from generation to generation in their village, and that's how more and more people came to understand Gu poison.

Even the white mist in the woods outside their village and the Gu worms in the stream were created by Granny Li's people.

From then on, few outsiders came to their village. Moreover, they did not have to hand over the grain they grew in the village to the government or pay taxes.

This made their village much better off than the people in the surrounding villages.

Everyone in the village was very grateful to Granny Li, and everyone respected her greatly. This is why the village chief respected Granny Li so much.

Song Zhili originally wanted the village chief to find someone else to teach her, but she suddenly remembered what the village chief's wife had said to the village chief before they left.

So she subconsciously asked, "When I heard the village chief say that Grandma Li loves to eat delicious food, and I have so many delicious foods in my space, if I just take one out or make one, wouldn't it be easy to win over Grandma Li's stomach?"

With that in mind, she decided to give it another try and see if Granny Li would be willing to take her in. If she was still unwilling in the end, then so be it.

"Then I'll make some tomorrow to try and see if Granny Li likes them. I'd like to try again."

When the village chief and Amei heard Song Zhili's words, they were unsure whether Granny Li would like what Song Zhili made.

However, the two women also supported Song Zhili. After all, apart from Granny Li, no one else in the village was better at Gu poison techniques than her, so it was best to let her teach.

“Alright, Miss Song, you can ask my mother tomorrow what Granny Li usually likes to eat.”

Amei walked up to Song Zhili and offered her advice.

If you were to ask who in the village cooks the best food to win over Granny Li's stomach, it would undoubtedly be her mother.
