The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

However, the widower seemed to have some reservations and didn't go too far, giving Pandi a piece of pastry before leaving.

Pandi happily ate the pastries.

Soon, her two younger sisters arrived, their mouths watering as they stared at the food in Pandi's hands. Pandi didn't give them a single bite, saying, "You want to eat? If you want to eat, go sleep with men. If you sleep with them, you can eat delicious food and even get full."

After Pandi finished speaking, she left. Zhaodi followed Pandi quietly. After walking quite a distance, Du Mingxian realized that Pandi was actually heading up the mountain, and hesitated.

Zhao Di followed.

A short while later, the two hid behind a tree and saw Pandi trying to please a boy.

"Brother Guozi, what I'm telling you is true. My sister is dead. She's dead."

Feng Guozi was skeptical, but she did not see Ling Zhaodi. "What happened? She's dead. How come no one in the village knows?"

"He died an dishonorable death."

"make it clear."

"There's not much to say. Brother Guo, everything I did was for you. If you hadn't insisted that I go into the mountains with my sister, I wouldn't have been trapped there for so long and almost died on the mountain."

Feng Guozi glared at her, "Just because I don't want you to go, does that mean your father won't let you go? Don't you know what kind of person your father is?"

"Hmph, I won't listen to what my dad says, but I'll listen to whatever Brother Guozi says."

Feng Guozi is fifteen years old this year. She looked at Ling Pandi's short stature with disdain and turned to leave.

Pandi quickly stepped forward and followed, calling out, "Brother Guozi, Brother Guozi."

Feng Guozi didn't reply to her. Pandi stomped her foot angrily, "Ling Zhaodi, it's one thing if you're dead, but why won't you let go of Brother Guozi even after you're dead? Brother Guozi is mine."

He is not mine.

When Pandi heard the familiar voice, she turned around and saw the sister she had mentioned dying standing behind her. She was terrified. "You're a ghost!"

"No, I'm not dead."

Pandi frowned. "You're not dead, why aren't you going home?" she said with disdain. Suddenly remembering that her house had burned down, she could only say, "We don't have a home now, we're all living in a widower's house. Let's go home."

“Pan Di.” Zhao Di stood still.

Pandi turned around, very impatiently, "What?"

"You weren't like this before."

"If I hadn't done what you said before, wouldn't I have ended up getting beaten and doing all the chores at home?"

"you……"

Pandi raised her eyebrows high, "Don't think you're the only one who can eat good food, now I can too."

Zhao Di seemed to have never known her younger sister before, suddenly making her feel like a stranger. "You can't stay in that house, it will ruin you."

"Stop lecturing me. Go back if you want, or don't." Pandi said, taking a few steps to turn back, but finding no movement behind her, she stopped and turned around, only to find Zhaodi still standing there. "Aren't you going back?"

Zhao Di shook her head. "No, that's not my home. I died in that fire."

Pandi frowned and turned back. "You have to go back. If you don't go back, who will share my anger? Who will do the housework?"

Suddenly, Zhao Di's mind was filled with the images of a movie playing before her eyes, as if she had never known this younger sister before.

I always thought this younger sister was exceptionally well-behaved and I felt sorry for her, but now that I think about it... she was just being silly.

They went into the mountains together to dig for wild vegetables. She dug, and when she got tired of it, she played around. When she had played enough, she saw that her basket was full, so she ran over and said, "Sister, your basket is full. I'll grab some and put them here."

Then Pandi would put all the wild vegetables she had dug into her basket, and after she dug a few more, she would go back.

So her basket was always half full, while Pandi's basket was always full.

When they got home, she would be scolded, while Pandi would be praised. When the backtalk was over, Pandi would pitifully come out to apologize and beg for forgiveness.

I didn't think much of it before, but now that I've put these things together, it's like a wake-up call.

Du Mingxian could also see that some people's badness was innate. She took two steps forward and put her hand on Zhao Di's shoulder. "Let's go."

When Pandi saw Du Mingxian come out, she became anxious. "Where are you taking my sister? She's family. What right do you have to take my sister away?"

Du Mingxian ignored her and pulled Zhao Di away. Pan Di saw that something was wrong and ran back to tell her family that Zhao Di was not dead and was with that woman.

As Du Mingxian walked, she said to Zhao Di, "You are just the older sister. It's not your responsibility to be the younger sister. Some people are just born with incompatible personalities. Now that there is a new life, just think about yourself."

"Thank you, Auntie." Zhao Di's tears had dried, leaving only two streaks.

The two went outside, got into the carriage, and Du Mingxian led her into the county town. But thinking of Ling Silang's fainting that day, she decided to take him to get medicine first.

Upon arriving at the pharmacy and seeing its bustling activity, Du Mingxian's eyes suddenly lit up, and she stared at Doctor Lin.

As Dr. Lin was writing a prescription for Ling Silang, he suddenly felt like he was being watched. He was quite startled and looked up to meet Du Mingxian's beautiful eyes.

"Is there something on my face?"

"No, Dr. Lin, you seem to be short-staffed here. Do you need more help?"

Doctor Lin assumed she wanted to send her apprentice over, but Ling Silang hesitated to speak up, so he said directly, "I only accept apprentices. What's wrong? Does your family have someone suitable who wants to learn medicine?"

“A pitiful girl with nowhere to go. I wonder if Doctor Lin needs someone? She can work in the back organizing the medicinal herbs.”

If you don't come out and wander around in front, you won't be noticed.

Zhao Di is still young and thin, but after a period of proper care, she will grow up to be very beautiful. In less than a year, even her own mother probably wouldn't recognize her.

Doctor Lin waved his hand, "I don't need any here." Then, as if remembering something, he added, "However, my senior brother is interested in taking on a few female apprentices."

It's inconvenient for male doctors to treat women's illnesses, so my senior brother intentionally trained several female disciples to specialize in teaching women's diseases.

"Such a good thing? That's such a coincidence."

"We don't know yet if it will work, so don't rush to conclusions."

Du Mingxian felt that Doctor Lin was not someone to be fooled. "Why don't we let her stay in your backyard for now and learn about some simple medicinal herbs? That way, it will be easier for her to get through to your senior brother. If I have any good things in the future, I will definitely give them to Doctor Lin first."

Dr. Lin didn't care about what was said earlier, but he did care about what was said later.

good stuff?

No amount of thousand-year-old ginseng is too much.

"Okay." Anyway, he can afford to support one person. Besides, the backyard is indeed busy. Some medicinal herbs are being dried, sorted, and processed. There's a lot of work to do.

Du Mingxian quickly thanked him, "Then thank you very much, Dr. Lin. I also hope you can give me more guidance."
