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

That day, Song Zhili was in the courtyard making fish balls with Hu Cuicui and the others when suddenly an elderly woman ran over from outside.

Without even knocking, she rushed into Song Zhili's courtyard and ran straight to Sun Taohua.

“Peach Blossom, come, come with me quickly. Jian Guo is in trouble. You need to come back with me now.”

The woman was about to pull Sun Taohua towards the door when Hu Cuicui saw this, stood up, walked to the woman's side, and asked.

"Liu, why are you in such a panic? What happened? What's wrong with your son, Jianguo?"

Hearing someone ask a question, Liu became extremely anxious. She slapped her thigh and said in a tearful voice, "Oh dear, this is terrible! My son Jianguo just rolled down the back mountain and is still unconscious."

After saying that, she turned to Hu Cuicui and pleaded, "Mrs. Hu, can we pay Tao Hua's wages for today first? We need this money to pay for Jianguo's medical treatment."

Hu Cuicui did not immediately agree, but looked at Song Zhili. Seeing Song Zhili nod, she turned around and went back into the house, taking out twenty coins.

"Liu, here are twenty coins. Take them and go see a doctor for your son Jianguo. Taohua, you should also go home quickly today."

"Thank you, Aunt Hu. I'll head back now."

Sun Taohua thanked Hu Cuicui and then ran quickly home with Liu Shi.

"Alas, Sun Taohua is such a pitiful person, to have to marry someone like Wu the Cripple."

After Sun Taohua and the others left, Hu Cuicui couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing Hu Cuicui's sigh, Ji Qingqing felt even worse. She had been making clothes inside when she heard a noise outside, so she went out to check and heard what had happened.

She could only sigh in her heart. Then she thought about how she had married Song Zidong. Although she hadn't had a good life before, Song Zidong treated her very well and never beat or scolded her. Even though she only gave birth to a daughter, Song Zidong never scolded her or called her a good-for-nothing who couldn't give birth to a son.

However, Sun Taohua was different. She had not gotten pregnant in the two years since she married into the family. Not only did her husband often beat and scold her, but he also called her a worthless woman who couldn't have children.

Even her mother-in-law looked down on her. If it weren't for the fact that she was helping out at their house making fish balls and earning some money, her mother-in-law would never have let her go out to work.

Thinking of this, Ji Qingqing thought of her parents. When she wanted to marry Song Zidong, her parents were vehemently opposed. They felt that Song Zidong's family was not well-off and that she would suffer a hard life with him after marrying him.

The biggest reason they disagreed was actually because of Song Zhili, because they had heard that Song Zidong and his family doted on Song Zhili.

They felt that if they married into the family, they might not have a good life. They were also worried that Song Zili and Ji Qingqing would not get along, and that Ji Qingqing would be bullied.

But she insisted on marrying him regardless of the consequences, even threatening to starve herself to force them to agree. In the end, her parents had no choice but to give in.

However, in the years since she married into the family, life has not been particularly good. During their most difficult years, Hu Cuicui and the others would try their best to help Song Zhili with some food or copper coins.

At that time, she had some resentment, but later she saw that Song Zhili had been divorced and brought back by Hu Cuicui and the others.

By then, any resentment she had felt had vanished, and she even felt sorry for Song Zhili, thinking that her husband had abandoned her as soon as he passed the imperial examination.

She figured it was fine if Song Zhili came back; it was just a matter of having one more pair of chopsticks.

However, to her surprise, since Song Zhili returned, they have been able to eat meat at every meal, and Song Zhili is also good to her daughter.

Now she's helping her whole family earn money, and their lives are getting better and better.

Thinking of the copper coins that Song Zidong had saved for her, she felt particularly fortunate that she hadn't disliked Song Zhili because of her own complaints.

"Mother, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Thinking of this, Ji Qingqing hesitated before speaking. She had some money on hand and wanted to go back to her parents' home. Since that disaster, her family's life hadn't been very good.

She wanted to buy some meat and grain to send to her parents' home, but she needed to discuss it with Hu Cuicui and Song Zidong first.

After all, this money was given to her by Song Zidong, and she couldn't take it away and use it without permission.

Hearing Ji Qingqing's words, Hu Cuicui immediately understood her meaning, "Okay, when do you plan to go? It would be best to go in the afternoon. Zidong will be back then, so let her go with you. Oh, and when you go, you can also buy two chickens in town and send them over."

"Okay, thank you, Mother. I'll discuss it with my husband later, and we'll go tomorrow afternoon."

Upon hearing Hu Cuicui's words, Ji Qingqing immediately thanked her happily.

She had always known that Hu Cuicui treated her very well, like her own daughter, but she couldn't compare to Song Zhili.

However, she is much better than most mothers-in-law; she knows how to be grateful and treats Hu Cuicui with genuine kindness.

“Sister-in-law, take more grain with you when you go back to your parents’ home tomorrow. Also, take two bolts of cloth that you still have unfinished. If you don’t have enough, I’ll go to town to buy more. Oh, and also, buy some more meat while you’re at it. Don’t worry about the money.”

Song Zhili liked Ji Qingqing very much, and now that she heard that Ji Qingqing was going back to her parents' home, she wished she could take everything she could with her.

In Song Zhili's mind, the family members who raised such a good daughter must be quite good.

Ji Qingqing was very touched. "Okay, Mother, Little Sister, thank you."

"What are you saying, sister-in-law? We're family, don't keep saying thank you."

Zhao, who was making fish balls nearby, overheard their conversation and felt very envious. She also hoped that her daughter would marry into such a family when she grew up.

That evening, Ji Qingqing and Song Zidong returned to their room. She brought up the matter with Song Zidong, and he agreed without hesitation.

He also said that he would buy some pork and grain when he went to town the next day, and then borrow an oxcart from the village chief to take her to Ji Qingqing's parents' home.

Song Qiqi was very happy to learn that she would be going back to her maternal grandparents' house the next day. Although Ji Qingqing's parents didn't like Song Zidong very much at first, after Ji Qingqing gave birth to Song Qiqi, they treated Song Qiqi very well every time they went back to their maternal grandparents' house.

Especially Ji Qingqing's two sons, whenever Song Qiqi went there, they would bring out whatever good food or fun things they had for her.
