After some earnest instructions, Doctor Zhang immediately got into the carriage with the young man.

The two sisters followed the carriage until it disappeared.

Someone who was curious about the matter immediately came up to the two of them and asked, "Xiaoxi girl, who is this noble man? That Doctor Zhang must be some great figure, right?"

While speaking, his eyes kept stealing glances at the jade pendant in Zhou Xiaoxi's hand.

However, the little girl clenched her hands so tightly that only a small section of the inky black rope could be seen exposed.

I was standing too far away just now and couldn't see clearly what Doctor Zhang gave me.

Zhou Xiaoxi could see the other party's intention, so he quickly put the jade pendant into the secret pocket of his sleeve and said with a confused look on his face:

"Aunt Zhang, I don't understand what you are saying. Isn't Doctor Zhang the doctor of Huichuntang in the city? As for that noble man, how can an ignorant little girl like me know his origins?"

The Zhang family's daughter-in-law thought that the girl must be lying, but she didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Zhou Xiaoxi didn't give her time to think and spoke quickly.

"Aunt Zhang, it's getting late. We have to go home and cook. If we delay any longer, my mother will scold us. Let's talk next time."

Without waiting for Zhang's wife to react, the two sisters turned around flexibly and closed the door neatly.

Zhang’s wife was so angry that she fell backwards. This little bitch ran so fast!

Thinking back to when Zhou Jun got into trouble, it was she who rushed to inform them. But instead of being grateful, they actually closed the door in front of her. What an ungrateful family!

But she really had no choice. Her husband was about to come back from the fields. If she was late for cooking, she would be beaten and kicked. She felt her scalp tighten and ran home in a hurry.

But she has remembered this grudge!

……

Old man Zhou was still waiting for Doctor Zhang to come home for dinner, but he waited for a long time.

I couldn't help it, so I ran to the third brother's house to see what was going on, only to be told that Dr. Zhang had already left!

The other party still has a set of clothes left at home. The material is obviously something that only rich people can wear. It might be worth a lot of money if sold to a pawnshop in the city. But Doctor Zhang was too lazy to go back to his house to get it!

Old man Zhou was very depressed. In the past few days, Doctor Zhang gave him a few injections after every dinner.

In just three days, the occasional leg pain was alleviated a lot. If he could stay a few more days, maybe it could be cured!

When he thought of this, Old Man Zhou couldn't help but blame Li.

This daughter-in-law has no tact at all. The day before yesterday, he clearly hinted to her to persuade Doctor Zhang to stay a few more days and see him for a few more days. Isn't this also good for the third child?

Who would have thought that she just acted dumb and didn't say a word to help!

Humph, if the third brother is fine, it will be fine. But if anything happens to him, let’s see how he will deal with these three mothers!

Zhou Xiaoxi simply chose to ignore the old man Zhou’s resentment.

Her grandfather was really shameless. Grandpa Zhang had lived with him and agreed to treat him as a token of gratitude, but he was so greedy.

In fact, Grandpa Zhang had already taught my sister the treatment method, except that he replaced acupuncture with moxibustion.

Doctor Zhang made it clear to my grandfather that it was he himself who did not trust his sister.

Humph, who cares! She would not let her sister treat him before asking him for help. He deserves to suffer pain every day!

Zhou Xiaoxi knew that his grandfather would definitely hold a grudge against him for threatening him last time, but there would be many things in the future that he would need his grandfather's help with.

Apart from anything else, just the work in the fields was difficult for the three of them.

When Xiao Nan came to his grandfather for help, he would be ridiculed and embarrassed. If Xiao Nan could help his grandfather relieve his leg pain, he would have another bargaining chip to control him.

Perhaps, this was originally planned by Grandpa Zhang for them in advance. Grandpa Zhang is such a good man, and he does good things without leaving a name!

When she earns enough money in the future, she will definitely move her family away from this heartless place.

By then, maybe I can see Grandpa Zhang again!

Zhou Xiaoxi encouraged herself silently in her heart. She had to be more confident. She was an "advanced soul" from the 21st century. She could always make some achievements in this time and space with her innate advantages!

After breakfast early the next morning, the two sisters carried their backpacks and planned to go to the mountain to collect herbs. Unfortunately, it was not the right season, so they could not dig up some plants with roots and take them home to plant.

As autumn is approaching, they have to stock up as many medicinal herbs as possible for their father's treatment before the grass and trees wither.

However, other medicinal materials can be prepared, dried and stored, but what should we do with the ginger?

It's freezing cold, where can they find fresh ginger?

Zhou Xiaoxi had a frown on his face all the way to the mountain and had no intention of chatting with his sister.

This time and space is not like her previous life, where she can just buy plastic sheeting and build a plastic shed...

Suddenly an idea popped into her mind, but before she could grasp it, her thoughts were suddenly interrupted.

"Isn't this Zhou Jun's daughter? What are you planning to do so early in the morning? There's no need for both of you to do small jobs like digging wild vegetables and collecting firewood, right?"

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your dad is already in such a state, and you just let your mom suffer all by herself, and you don't even bother to help out. Your mom just doesn't have the energy to take care of you. If it were me, I would definitely teach her a lesson."

Zhang's wife was a little late for cooking last night, and was kicked by her husband. She still has a dull pain in her lower back. She ran into these two little girls as soon as she went out. If she didn't say a few words to them, she would feel uncomfortable.

Zhou Xiaonan was young and couldn't keep her temper. When she saw the other party scolding her and her sister without any reason, her little face turned red with anger instantly.

"Aunt Zhang, we are going to the mountains to collect herbs to treat Daddy's illness. We are not being lazy."

"Hey, you're just a little girl, how can you know what medicinal herbs are? Don't pick the wrong ones and make your father's condition worse!"

"This Li is really something. She actually let you two girls mess around. Your father brought back so much money. If your mother didn't spend the money on him, which man would she spend it on? This Li looks honest and kind on weekdays, but she actually had such a rotten idea!"

Originally, I was just saying a few random words to bully these two girls.

But as she was talking, the wife of the Zhang family actually felt that what she said made sense. Was Li really planning to kill her man and then run away with the wild man?

At this time, Zhou Xiaoxi's face had turned pale.

She knew that poor and remote places would produce unruly people, but she never thought that this man could be so vicious!

Their family had just finally crawled out of the quagmire, and before they could even catch their breath, they were about to be pushed into another quagmire?

no way!
