Han Zixuan interrupted, saying, "What's the big deal? It's just some ordinary stuff!"

"It's just cooking a meal, go check on Dad first!"

After quickly sending Shen Qingxi away, Han Zixuan went to the kitchen.

The rice container was already at the bottom, with only a few wilted vegetables left. Han Zixuan was at her wit's end looking at it.

It truly proves the saying "Even a clever cook can't cook without rice," and even a mouse would probably leave in tears if it came.

Looks like I need to find a way to make money!

Suddenly, Qingxi's anxious voice came from outside, "Father, what's wrong?"

Han Zixuan hurried out and entered the main room, where she saw her father coughing violently.

"Cough cough...cough cough!"

"My dear father, he just coughed up blood!" Shen Qingxi said anxiously.

Han Zixuan frowned and went forward to check on him. Her father weakly said, "It's... nothing... cough cough... it's an old ailment!" Finally, he closed his eyes and fainted.

Han Zixuan and Shen Qingxi were startled. "Father, Father!"

After calling out several times without any response, Han Zixuan grew worried.

"Qingxi, you stay here and watch over your father. I'll go to the village to fetch a doctor."

Shen Qingxi nodded, and Han Zixuan ran out quickly. They soon arrived at Doctor Huang's house at the east end of the village.

He pounded on the door, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Is Dr. Huang home?"

A voice came from the courtyard, "Coming, coming! Who is it! Knock gently, you're knocking the door off!"

As Dr. Huang opened the door, he saw Han Zixuan's anxious expression.

"Oh, it's you!" Before she could finish speaking, Han Zixuan directly stated her purpose.

"Dr. Huang, come with me quickly! My father has fainted!!"

After saying that, he was about to pull the person away when Doctor Huang realized what was happening and stopped him, saying, "No, wait a minute, I'll go get the medicine box!"

Han Zixuan could only stand at the door and wait, seeing Doctor Huang carrying a box.

He couldn't bear to watch anyone walk so slowly, and worried that his father at home wouldn't be able to wait, so he simply carried the person on his back.

Dr. Huang felt like his bones were about to fall apart as he hurried home.

He patted Han Zixuan on the shoulder.

"Han family girl... slow down... my old bones... can't take this much!"

"Madam Huang's life is at stake, please understand, we'll be there shortly!"

Although anxious, Han Zixuan slowed down a bit.

Finally arriving at the Han family home, Doctor Huang saw that Han's father had already fainted and quickly went forward to check his pulse.

Lost in thought, Han Zixuan and Shen Qingxi waited anxiously.

After taking his pulse, Doctor Huang frowned and looked at Han Zixuan, saying heavily, "Han girl, your father has a cough that has already damaged his lungs and internal organs!"

In addition, due to prolonged overwork, his body was severely depleted, and he also had eye problems.

Alas! My medical skills are limited, and I am powerless to help. You should hurry and take your father to the county town to see a doctor at Baicaotang.

Perhaps this can still save your father's life, but if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid..."

Dr. Huang shook his head and sighed! This Han family girl is really something, letting her father drag things out to this extent!

Han Zixuan first thanked Dr. Huang, "Thank you, Dr. Huang, I'll take my father to the county town for treatment right away!"

Dr. Huang's expression softened a little. "Alright, alright, then you should go quickly!"

After seeing Dr. Huang off, Han Zixuan said to Qingxi, "Qingxi, go and pack a quilt. I'll go borrow a car."

It's already late October, and since they live near the mountains, the temperature is already quite low.

We must take good care of keeping Han's father warm.

She hurried to the village chief's house; she had borrowed the village chief's mule cart for her wedding yesterday.

I'm going to trouble them again today. "Aunt Zhang! Aunt Zhang! My father is sick today, and I need to take him to the county town to see a doctor."

"I'd like to borrow your mule cart for a bit!"

Zhang Guihua quickly agreed, "Okay, go ahead and use it, be careful on the road!"

Han Zixuan quickly thanked her and led the mule cart away.

Zhang Guihua's husband, however, looked displeased. "Borrowing it yesterday and returning it today, does she really think the mule cart belongs to her family?"

"Hey, what are you muttering about, you're a man! We're all from the same village!"

Why bother with all this? Han's mother was a scholar in our village back in the day.

He's helped with a lot of things in the village!

At the Han family home, Han Zixuan laid out bedding on the mule cart, carried Han's father onto it and covered him with it, and then tucked Shen Qingxi into the blanket as well.

He then drove to the county town and stopped at the entrance of Baicaotang.

"Qingxi, you sit here and watch the mule cart. I'll carry Dad inside to see the doctor!"

Shen Qingxi nodded, "Yes, my wife!"

As he carried Han's father into the Hundred Herbs Hall, he called out, "Doctor! Doctor!"

At this moment, a woman with gray hair saw the person Han Zixuan was carrying and quickly came over to ask.

"I am a doctor from Baicaotang. What's wrong with the patient?"

Han Zixuan quickly explained her father's illness.

"I coughed up blood this morning, please take a look!"

After examining the patient, the doctor said something that was almost identical to what Dr. Huang had said.

"It's fortunate that they brought him here in time. Your father's health is really too poor! How could it have gotten so serious!"

You must not overwork yourself anymore. I'll prescribe some medicine for you.

It would be best to make some ginseng and chicken soup for your dad to help him recover!

But when he looked up after speaking, he realized that Han Zixuan's clothes and appearance didn't seem like someone who could afford ginseng!

Upon hearing the word "ginseng," Han Zixuan realized she had a few roots in her spatial storage, which she had found in a villa while gathering supplies.

She took three or four that were still in relatively good condition!

Before the doctor could speak, she asked, "Doctor, should this ginseng be stewed whole or sliced?"

The doctor was taken aback and looked at Han Zixuan, "You...you have ginseng?"

Han Zixuan nodded, "Yes, my home is at the foot of the mountain. I got one by chance and have kept it at home as a family heirloom."

Han Zixuan dared not reveal how many hairs she had; she knew better than to flaunt her wealth.

The doctor nodded, agreeing with her words; she seemed to be acting like a proper daughter.

"Just slice it at home and put three or four slices in each time!"

"I'll give your dad a few acupuncture needles now. He'll be fine once he wakes up. Remember to take his medicine on time and rest for half a month!"

Come back again and I'll rewrite your prescription!

Han Zixuan nodded, "Thank you, doctor!"

Then she followed the medicine boy to get the medicine, and seeing that Han's father had not yet woken up, she became a little worried about Shen Qingxi outside.

He called the person in and said, "Qingxi, you stay here and watch over Dad. I'm going to buy some food."

I've been busy all morning and haven't had breakfast yet, and it's almost noon now!

Even if she doesn't eat, her father and Qingxi can't go hungry.

After informing the doctor, I went to the pawnshop myself.

She didn't have much money on her, so it could only be used for some gold and silver jewelry in her storage space.

Gold shouldn't be taken out easily, so I picked out two silver items and walked to the counter. Through the bars, I saw a middle-aged woman!

"Shopkeeper, I have two items I'd like to pawn!"

As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his bosom, which was layered on the left and right.

The shopkeeper's interest was piqued, which Han Zixuan did on purpose. "This is my father's dowry! How much do you think it's worth?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the two items being handed over.

One is a silver bracelet with a plum blossom and intertwined floral pattern, and the other is a silver lock symbolizing peace, joy, and blessings.

After some thought, the shopkeeper agreed that the two items were indeed good. "Your Majesty, are you planning to pawn them outright or just for the sake of it?"

Han Zixuan frowned. "What if I pawn it if it dies, or if it dies?" Does this pawnshop really have so many rules?
