iusheng seemed to sense something and also turned his head. Their gazes met in the air.Fang Jinshu stretched her mouth, spitting out two words that were hard and laced with a hint of mockery."Ridiculo...Fang Jinxiu used only a few herbs to cure Li Gou's snakebite on the spot, which shocked the villagers.

"I didn't expect her to actually be able to cure illnesses, she seems really skilled."

"Isn't that right Just now, I saw Li Gouzi's leg was swollen like a bun. Hey, after she put on that bit of herbal medicine with a snap, it went down in no time."

"It's more than just swelling, the dog's bitten area has turned black, it's obviously been poisoned severely."

"In just a short while, he couldn't move his legs anymore. He could run, jump, and walk, just like a normal person."

"Even Miss Jinxiu said the snake venom has been neutralized."

"This daughter-in-law Zongyu married is truly extraordinary. I wonder what her background is and which village she's from."

The person beside him chuckled and said, “Why are you asking about where she’s from Are you going to marry one of them too”

The teased man chuckled, "What Is that not allowed What if Miss Jinxiu has other sisters who are skilled in medicine I could marry one back home, couldn't I"

"Don't be ridiculous! Look at your family's poverty, you still dream of marrying a female doctor"

Li Goudong's matter made Fang Jinshu the subject of conversation among the men in these villages. No one dared to offend a doctor who could heal the sick.

Everyone has their share of headaches. Every household will eventually have a day when they need to ask for help from others.

It's not a good idea to offend her.

Fang Jinshi's fame spread far and wide. Li Gouzi carefully tended to the medicinal herbs on his leg, binding them tightly with cloth strips, as if afraid they might fall off or that the antidote wouldn't fully neutralize the venom.

Everywhere he went, he could hear villagers praising Fang Jinshi. Their words, spoken and unspoken, carried a hint of awe. Li Gouzi, with his narrow mind, had just knelt down and apologized to Fang Jinshi and his wife, tears streaming down his face, all to save his own life.

He clenched his fists so tightly they crackled, a feeling of humiliation washing over him.

He silently took note of this account, thinking that one day he would get it back from them.

Zong Yu was leading Fang Jinshi and the two were walking hand-in-hand in another direction, continuing to look for herbs. Song Changhe sat on a tree branch over three meters high, diligently observing the surroundings.

Beware of wild animals.

He saw Fang Jinxiu beckoning to him and hurriedly jumped down from the tree.

"Sister-in-law, you called me"

Fang Jinshi took out a piece of cake from her bosom and handed it over, "Are you hungry Eat something."

Seeing the pastries made by Jingliang, Song Changhe's saliva almost overflowed in the first instance. His eyes were glued to the pastry in Fang Jinshi's hand.

He reluctantly shifted his gaze and refused, “I, I’m not hungry. Food is precious now, sister-in-law, you keep it for yourself.”

He thought to himself that Second Brother Zong was really good to his sister-in-law. Such good rations, he wouldn't even eat them himself, and kept them all for his elder brother's wife.

Song Changhe may not know that now, almost every household in Zong Yuxiang's family can eat such pastries.

If she could get her hands on some rice, Fang Jinshu would really like to have a bowl of white rice. She figured that since this was in the wild, it's probably closer to the north and not many people grow rice there, right

"Seeing you so thin and small, you dare to take on the patrol duty You're more bloodthirsty than those villagers."

"If you haven't eaten enough and encounter a wild beast, won't your legs go soft and you be unable to run"

She spoke, forcefully stuffing the pastry into Song Changhe's hands.

This kid was just staring at the cookie, drooling all over himself, and then said he didn't want it.

Anyway, she brought more food today, and this kid seemed alright to her. Giving him a piece wasn't a big deal, just doing a good deed for the day.

Song Changhe glanced at Zong Yu, saw him nod, and then carefully tore off a small corner of the pastry and put it in his mouth, chewing and chewing, as if reluctant to swallow it.

He was very hungry, but he ate extremely sparingly.

He tucked the remaining cookies into the pocket of his clothes.

Fang Jinxiu was taken aback. "What are you putting the pastry away for"

This kid's eyes are glowing green with hunger, how come he's holding the pastry but not eating it.

Song Changhe smiled bashfully and said, "Sister-in-law, I still have an old mother at home. These pastries are shelf-stable, so I want to take them back for my mother to eat slowly."

Fang Jinshi's heart was pricked, a little uncomfortable.

She was born in a prosperous and stable era, and lived a comfortable life since childhood. Although she knew there were many poor people in the world, she had rarely seen them with her own eyes.

Her clinic is located in a wealthy district, and the patients she sees are mostly not poor.

Fang Jinxiu, without a word, stuffed the three biscuits she had tucked away in her arms into Song Changhe's hands.

"Just take them, there are plenty at my sister-in-law's house, she won't run out."

You took out the cakes from your arms and ate them. These are for your mother.

Song Changhe was overwhelmed with surprise, holding the pastry in his hand, looking at a loss. His eyes kept shifting to Zong Yu's side."Yes, if Young Master Fu is unhappy, he can go back and complain to King Jing'an. See if your family will stand up for you."Fu Mingqi's face flushed.This insidious scoundrel, Gu Liusheng, actually tre...
