It seems that they have been living well in recent years.

"Sister, who are they?" asked a little girl about four years old.

"Look at the girl in purple sitting in the middle, the one with big eyes..." The eldest granddaughter pointed at Tianbao.

The little girl looked at Tian Bao and said, "She is the little miracle doctor that everyone is talking about? Is she the one who gave you the medical book that year?"

"She is also your benefactor." said the eldest granddaughter.

"My benefactor? Why?"

"Back then, she and my mother told me that even if you were a girl, you would be better than a boy in the future, and you could bring us new hope.

You have been very smart since you were a child, and you have a photographic memory. This shows that what the little doctor said is indeed correct."

"It turns out...she is really my benefactor." The little girl murmured to herself.

Tianbao, Li Xiaoning and Chu Yizhen were arranged to live in a courtyard, which had three side rooms and two side rooms that were just big enough for them to live in.

Because it was inconvenient for Su Liaoyun to live in a house in the village because he was a man, the village chief arranged for him to live in an uninhabited house in the village. The house was cleaned very well by the village chief's wife and several daughters-in-law.

The bedding was all new and he was given a few oil lamps. Su Liaoyun thanked him repeatedly and moved in.

'KouKouKou'

Tianbao and the others were talking in the outer room, while Yuexin and Zhiya were packing their luggage in the inner room.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Li Xiaoning got up and went to open the door.

Outside the door was a little girl about four years old, holding a few oil-paper bags in her hands.

"Hello, sister."

Li Xiaoning was infected by her smile and opened the door to let her in. "What's your name? Are you the granddaughter of this family?"

"My name is Shu'er. I'm the daughter of the third wife and the youngest granddaughter of this family."

Shu'er walked over to Tianbao and handed her the oil paper in her hand. "This is the oil pastry my eldest sister bought. It's delicious. Try it."

Tian Bao took it with a smile, "Thank you Shu'er."

"I want to thank you. You saved me. If it weren't for you... I might not exist." Shu'er said.

"Who are you?" Tianbao looked at her and remembered that year when the village chief's wife asked them the gender of the baby in their belly, and Shu'er might be that child.

"You are that child." Tian Bao smiled and touched her head. "You are very smart. Have you learned to read?"

Shu'er nodded and said, "When I have nothing to do, I learn to read from my elder sister. Aunt Ju taught me how to write.

Aunt Ju is my eldest sister’s master. When she saw the medical book in my eldest sister’s hand, she was very interested and accepted her as her apprentice, on the condition that she would show her the medical book.

Little miracle doctor, you not only saved me, but also changed the fate of my eldest sister and several other sisters.

Otherwise, they will just live an ordinary and mediocre life like other girls."

Shu'er said, looking at Tianbao, "But I don't want this. Why do women have to get married? Can't they do something like men?"

Tianbao smiled and nodded, "Of course, you can stay with me for the next two days. You can take me to other villages for free medical treatment, and I will teach you some simple medical skills."

Shu'er was pleasantly surprised. "Okay."

The next morning, Tianbao and her friends had just finished washing up and went to the front yard when the village chief's wife and her three daughters-in-law came out of the kitchen carrying food.

There were eager smiles on their faces.

"Is the little doctor awake? Did you sleep well last night?" asked the village chief's wife.

"Very well, I slept soundly." Tianbao replied with a smile.

"Come and sit down, breakfast is ready, let's eat together." The eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief said with a smile.

After everyone sat down, the village chief's wife served rice and dishes to Tianbao and the others, and was extremely enthusiastic.

"I heard from Shu'er that you are going to a free clinic today. Do you want to take her with you?" asked the village chief's third daughter-in-law.

"Shu'er is very smart and talented. I want to take care of her. Let her stay with me for the next two days." Tianbao said.

When they heard this, they were very happy and nodded repeatedly.

Chu Yizhen and Li Xiaoning drank the rice porridge in small sips and watched everyone asking about Tianbao's well-being. The third daughter-in-law of the village chief even asked her eldest daughter to prepare some food so that she could eat if she was hungry during the free clinic.

"Have you seen this?" Li Xiaoning said to Chu Yizhen.

Chu Yizheng was puzzled. "What?"

"Have you seen how good my aunt is at winning people's favor? No matter if they are children or adults, young or old, as long as they are my aunt, they all like and respect her."

"I know without you telling me that Tianbao has always been like this, no matter where he is." Chu Yi Zheng looked at Tianbao and smiled softly.

After the three of them finished their meal, Shu'er came over with a backpack full of things, which looked quite heavy.

Tianbao asked Su Liaoyun to take it and help hold it, while Yuexin drove the carriage over.

Tianbao held Shu'er's hand and said, "Come on, take the carriage with me."

Shu Er smiled sweetly, "Okay."

The first village they went to was not far from here. The village was not big. Shu'er said that there were few people in the village, mostly old people, women and children.

The young people all go out to find work and only return home during the Chinese New Year.

Within three days, Tianbao and her colleagues continued to see patients in every village, and Shu'er's eldest sister even brought people from their pharmacy to help.

And her master was very excited to see Tianbao. She kept following Tianbao around, just wanting Tianbao to give her some pointers.

"Master Ju, this is a medical book that records several medical cases and prescriptions. I am giving it to you now. It will play the greatest role in your hands."

Aunt Ju's face turned red with excitement. "Thank you, little doctor. Thank you... I will definitely study hard."

Shu'er smiled and looked at her eldest sister, "This is the first time I've seen Aunt Ju act like a child. Look how excited she is."

"I understand. If it were me... I would definitely be more out of control than Master. That's the medical book given to me by the little genius doctor."

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat..." the village chief's wife shouted loudly.

Li Xiaoning took Tianbao and Chu Yizheng's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go... Let's eat first. I'm starving."

There were two large tables in the yard, one of which was specially prepared for Tianbao and the others.

One table contained food for the village chief and his family. Tianbao and her friends always had a sumptuous meal.

The food at the village chief's house was of poorer quality. Tianbao glanced at their dining table, and Li Xiaoning also glanced at them after sitting down.

“Did they give us all the good food?”

"It's understandable. This is how they entertain guests. They are reluctant to give their own food to the guests. Besides, my aunt is not an ordinary guest." Chu Yizhen said.

"Let's eat first." Tianbao picked up the bowl and started eating.

Everyone also ate slowly. Yuexin and the others sat at the same table with Tianbao and the others. The village chief prepared a lot of food, which was enough for them.

After dinner, Tianbao asked Su Liaoyun and Yuexin to go to the town to buy things. They had been staying at the village chief's house for so many days, and they had been treated to delicious food and drinks, so it was time for her to treat everyone to a good meal.

In the evening, Tianbao told the village chief's family in advance that they should not cook and she would treat everyone to dinner.

"Everyone sit down first." Tianbao smiled and asked everyone to sit down first.
