Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"You are bullying us, an orphan and a widow..." Lanhua cried.

"If you want to curse, curse yourself, don't curse us..." Sheng Kai said.

"Shut up, everyone!" Old Master Sheng shouted several times in a row, and finally the people who were arguing stopped. Old Master Sheng looked very ugly. He held his temple with one hand and felt his head buzzing.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the yard, and Xiaoqing came over with the doctor.

"She's seriously ill, this is..." Doctor Li sighed helplessly. Old Master Sheng coughed several times, obviously reminding Cui to stop while she was getting better. But looking at Cui's expression, it was clear that she was determined to continue pretending.

Cui was unconscious, so Doctor Li just sat down on the edge of the kang and felt her pulse. After a while, he took his hand away from Cui's wrist, looked at Cui for a while, shook his head and sighed, and looked at Mr. Sheng, but his eyes were meaningful.

When Mr. Sheng received Doctor Li's gaze, he knew what was going on. He immediately became a little flustered. He subconsciously glanced away to avoid Doctor Li's inquiring gaze.

Doctor Li sighed deeply. He didn't know when he became a frequent visitor to the old Sheng family. In fact, farmers usually wouldn't ask doctors to prescribe medicine or treat illnesses unless it was a big deal. Of course, there were exceptions. There were also some people who needed medicine every now and then... But the situation in the old Sheng family was really rare.

Mr. Sheng was really sick every time, but fortunately he had a filial and wealthy son who gave him a lot of herbs as if they were free. If it were an ordinary family, the family business would have been eaten up long ago, not to mention that the old man had to take supplements in addition to medicine. But what about Cui? Doctor Li couldn't help but laugh and cry. She pretended to be sick before, but this time it was even more outrageous. She even pretended to be stupid.

Cui had lived to such an old age and had so many children and grandchildren to support her. Logically, she should have no worries about food and drink and should not have done anything naughty. However, he knew Cui's reputation and various stories about the old house of the Sheng family. Some of them were hearsay, and some were his personal experiences.

Doctor Li considered himself an upright man. He had been holding back some things for a long time. "Miss Xiaolan, every time it was your family that sent someone to invite me."

"Yes, I always trouble you to come over." Xiao Lan said with a smile, and then asked, "Do you think my grandma's disease can be cured?"

"Your family has earned a lot of money in the past two years, but you can't spend money like this. The money didn't come from the wind..." Doctor Li did not answer Xiao Lan's question, but instead said something to her in a reproachful manner.

Xiao Lan showed a bitter smile on her face, "What else don't you know? Please cure my grandma's illness..."

Doctor Li sighed sympathetically. He had seen how Cui could cause trouble. Whoever got involved with such a scoundrel would be in trouble.

Doctor Li shook his head and turned to Mr. Sheng and said, "Grandpa, I'm not sure about the old lady's condition. I want to hear your opinion."

"I'm so old now, it's useless to take any medicine, so let it be. Sorry for bothering you to make another trip," said Mr. Sheng. "Xiao Lan is a filial child. I kept trying to stop her, but she wouldn't listen. She insisted on treating her grandmother's illness no matter what."

Doctor Li was about to pack up and leave after hearing what the old man said, but Xiao Lan stopped him. The old man's words just now all implied that Cui was indeed sick. If the old man said that Cui was not sick and was just pretending to be sick, then Xiao Lan's family would not be criticized if Doctor Li left at this time. But Old Man Sheng said that Cui was sick, which was questionable. It was no secret that Xiao Lan's family was rich. When her family had money, Cui was sick but they didn't hire a doctor to see her. Wouldn't this be criticized by others?

We can't let Doctor Li go like this now. If people start to talk about her, saying that her family is wealthy but she doesn't treat her old man, what will happen?

"Doctor Li, please don't leave," Xiao Lan hurriedly stopped Doctor Li. "My grandfather just said that because he felt sorry for our family spending money... If my grandma wasn't sick, it would be fine, but she is sick... My grandfather just said that she is sick, so if she is sick, how can she not be cured?"

"Please take the trouble to cure my grandma. No matter how much it costs, my family will pay for it... As long as my grandma is healthy, we, her children and grandchildren, will be happy."

"My father is not at home now, my mother is not in good health, Xiaowen is not at home either, and I am the only one left at home who can move. If I can't even handle this matter, I won't be able to explain to my father when he comes back... Please think of a solution."

Doctor Li was begging Xiao Lan like this, and he couldn't say a word. The adults in her family were not around, and she was the only little girl being bullied, and he really couldn't bear to watch it.

"You should think of a solution for my grandma first, and then you have to take a look at my grandpa. My grandpa doesn't look well today." Xiao Lan said again.

Doctor Li nodded and agreed. If he was a filial child who cared about the elderly, he would have hesitated before, but now he had no hesitation at all. "The old lady is very angry. You must use Coptis chinensis."

Xiao Lan knew that Coptis chinensis was a very effective medicine for reducing internal heat, but it tasted very bitter. When Xiao Lan heard Doctor Li say this, she knew what he was up to. Doctor Li couldn't stand Cui's pretense anymore and wanted to give her a good treatment.

"Boil two bowls of water into one bowl of thick soup, and take it once in the morning, noon, and evening. Be sure to take the medicine well. Within three days, the old lady's illness should be almost cured." Doctor Li said after writing the prescription.

Afterwards, Doctor Li carefully took Mr. Sheng's pulse and wrote down a prescription.

Xiao Lan gave the prescription to Xiao Qing and asked her to buy the medicine immediately. Xiao Ye seemed to have noticed something from Xiao Lan's expression and came over to help.

Soon Cui's medicine was ready, a big bowl full of black, bitter-tasting medicine.

"Doctor Li just told me that this medicine must not be wasted. My grandma is in this condition now and can't even move. I'm afraid feeding her a little at a time won't work..." Xiao Lan went to the outer room and whispered to Xu and Xiao Ye.
