《Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor Taizi Fei》 Chapter 1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor Taizi Fei Chapter 1 Nine Yin Nine Yang Detoxification Needle [1] [TLNote: If you like what I do, consider !] Whether it was modern or ancient people, one likedto use "with four bare walls for a home" to describe poverty, but Xia YuanQiudid not agree. At least "with four bare walls for a home" there werefour walls. But this house she was living in had three and a half walls only. Therewere holes everywhere. It made no difference whether or not there was a roof. Atany angle in the house, one could see the stars in the sky. This person was really poor! Xia YuanQiu constantlyforted herself. This housewas onlycking a piece of sspared to modern wealthy people''ssshouses. It was very good, not bad at all. Her fanciful thoughts were interrupted by a loudcrying. She didn''t have to listen closely. This high-pitched and sharp soundlike a pig being ughtered, who else would be besides the Aunt Zhang next door? Her younger brother who was sleeping next to her, rubbedhis eyes and got up. "Jie [older sister], what''s going on with Aunt Zhang''sfamily? Is something wrong?" Xia YuanQiu shrugged, "I don''t know." Xia YuanHao and the little fatty next door were goodfriends. He always snuck food from home to sneakily give to YuanHao. XiaYuanQiu also really liked the little fatty, but Aunt Zhang was not a goodperson. She bullied her and YuanHao for having no parents, using sharp andunkind words. She was not interested in such people so she had no intentions ofgoing next door to inquire about the neighbors. "Go sleep quickly. Didn''t we say we would go to themountains tomorrow? If you don''t sleep now, you won''t wake up in time." XiaYuanQiu urged her three-years-younger brother to sleep. But the crying soundsnext door were getting louder and louder. Xia YuanHao rolled off the bed. The ten-year-old himwas already very tall, almost as tall as his jiejie. "No, I have to check onlittle fatty." YuanHao then turned and ran away. Xia YuanQiu was worried Xia YuanHao would be bulliedin little fatty''s home so she followed along. The Zhang household was noisy. Everyone was speakinglowly about what was going on. But those sounds were suppressed under Old Zhang''swife''s ghosts wailing and wolves howling noises. YuanQiu crowded with YuanHao into the front of the onlookers.She saw Old Zhang''s wife crying on the ground, with little fatty lying next toher. He had a paleplexion and his left foot in the air was obviouslyswollen bigger than his right. His instep had two obvious red spots. The areas surroundingthe red spots started turning purple. Little fatty was bitten by a poisonous snake. The doctorswho came were helpless. They told Aunt Zhang little fatty was beyond saving andto prepare funeral arrangements. That''s why Aunt Zhang was crying miserably. Old Zhang and his wife were married for ten yearsbefore they had little fatty. They couldn''t dote on him enough. With suchterrible news, how could they live? YuanHao understood the events. He looked at theunconscious little fatty and started crying with snot and tears running downhis face. YuanQiu sighed and looked at little fatty''s whiteface. "Consider yourself lucky you met me today. Or you would definitely loseyour little life." YuanQiu turned and walked in front of the middle-ageddoctor. She opened his medicine bag that was on the floor. She rummaged andactually found a needle pouch. In this era, the needle pouch was regarded as anessential item. "Hey ¡ª what is this girl doing?" The middle-ageddoctor saw YuanQiu holding his needle pouch and hastened to reach out. YuanQiu nimbly dodged and slightly smiled. "Doctor,let me borrow your silver needles first. A life is at stake. I''ll apologize toyou after I save little fatty." The middle-aged doctor coldly sneered, "You?""How about we make abet? If I can save little fatty, you give this needle pouch to me. If I can''tsave him, I''ll pay you ten needle pouches. How about it?" YuanQiu smiled at themiddle-aged doctor. A pair of bright eyes shed a dazzling light on her darkface. The middle-aged doctor who had just thought she was ugly suddenly feltshe was pleasing to the eye. Chapter 2 part1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor Taizi Fei Chapter 2 Nine Yin Nine Yang Detoxification Needle [2], Part 1 [TL Note: If you like what I do, consider !] The middle-aged doctor naturally did not believeYuanQiu had this ability. But he had a curious heart and wanted to see whatthis girl would do. He straightforwardly replied, "Alright. This is what yousaid. Many people here heard." YuanQiu smiled, "Once I give my word¡­" The middle-aged doctor finished her sentence, "Fourhorses can''t chase it back." YuanQiu brought the needle pouch and walked to thefront of the grieving couple. "Take off all of little fatty''s clothing. I''lluse a needle for detoxification." Old Zhang stopped crying and looked puzzled atYuanQiu. They had been neighbors many years. Other than nting vegetables,this girl didn''t know how to do anything else. She even needed him to sell thevegetables that she nted in town. This girl had not seen the world and shewanted to use a needle for detoxification. Was this a joke? Seeing Old Zhang not moving, YuanQiu said, "If youwant little fatty to live, then do as I say. If you want him to die, thenpretend I didn''t say anything." At this time, Aunt Zhang also stopped crying. Herheart was more meticulous than her husband''s. Once she heard YuanQiu''s words,she knew there must be some solution. In any case, the doctor alreadypronounced him beyond saving. What was there to lose? With the mentality of giving medicine to a deadhorse, Aunt Zhang neatly took off all of little fatty''s clothing. Many little girls in the crowd bashfully turnedtheir heads and were afraid to look. Little fatty was eleven years old thisyear and he was a bit taller than YuanHao. No wonder these little girls wereshy. But in YuanQiu''s eyes, it was a body that needed treatment;regardless it was male or female. Everyone''s eyes were on YuanQiu. She opened theneedle pouch with a sharp movement, revealing a hundred silver needles ofvarious lengths.En. Not bad. The setwas quiteplete. It was enough for detoxification. Chapter 2 part2 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor Taizi Fei Chapter 2 Nine Yin Nine Yang Detoxification Needle [2], Part 2 [TL Note: If you like what I do, consider !] "I''m going to start now. While I''m insertingneedles, do not interrupt me. Otherwise it will fail throughck of a finaleffort. If you want little fatty to survive, then help keep watch. Don''t letanyone disturb me, understand?" YuanQiu did not speak fast and every word wasclear and distinct. Her words contained a prestige, something that they hadnever seen from her before. Aunt Zhang immediate patted her chest. "Restassured. With me here, no one will disturb you." YuanQiu nodded. She would not doubt thedetermination a mother has to protect her child''s life. At this time, a harsh-looking woman spoke toYuanQiu, "Xia YuanQiu, you think I don''t know what kind of trash you are? I''mtelling you to not do anything rash. If you poke someone to death with aneedle, don''t say Bomu [wife of father''s elder brother] didn''t dissuade you." The implication was that if she stabbed someone todeath, the little girl couldn''t afford the consequences. But don''te lookingfor this Bomu because she wouldn''t care. YuanQiu coldly swept her eyes over the woman. Shethought of yesterday''s events. When she and YuanHao went to pick vegetablesfrom the garden, this Bomu snuck into their house. She stole the hen theyraised for two years and all the hard-earned eggs itid. When she and YuanHaoarrived at Bomu''s house, they saw chicken feathers and bones all over thefloor. Their hearts couldn''t help but grow hatred. YuanQiu cold smiled, "My family''s business could notafford to be bothered by Bomu. Aunt Zhang is not like you who can''t distinguishbetween right and wrong, with such a poisonous heart." Although she did notlike Aunt Zhang in her heart, butpared to this so-called Bomu, at leastAunt Zhang merely gave them a bad face. N¨¦e Lin was angry. This darned girl actually scoldedher in front of so many people, making her lose face. She pointed to YuanQiuand said maliciously, "Everyone here be witnesses. This darned girl willinglysaid she will give treatment. I tried dissuading her. If something happens and implicatesmy family, I''m not responsible." Chapter 3 part1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor Taizi Fei Chapter 3 Nine Yin Nine Yang Detoxification Needle [3], Part 1 [TL Note: If you like what I do, consider !] Aunt Zhang saw that saving her son was being dyedby N¨¦e Lin. She immediately grabbed a broom and waved it at N¨¦e Lin, "Youcheap-mouthed woman, get the hell out of here. You''re not weed here." N¨¦e Lin''s face turned the color of pig liver. Shewanted to shout but the onlookers dissuaded her. Someone''s family had such abig problem, so she should speak less. She looked at the little fatty on theground and indignantly grumbled before leaving. Little fatty had been poisoned for a period of timealready. If there was anti-venom serum, YuanQiu could save his life. But inthis ancient world, where was she going to get an antidote serum? She couldonly use the oldest method of detoxifying. But it was also the safest methodwith no side effects. Nine Yin Nine Yang Needle was the secret skill ofher previous life''s Xia family that was not passed on to outsiders and onlymales, not females. Grandpa saw that she was intelligent and the only child ofher generation. He decided to abandon the ancestral rule and taught the NineYin Nine Yang Needle to her. She spent at least four hours every day studyingNine Yin Nine Yang Needle for eighteen years without stopping. At the age oftwenty, she was admitted to the country''s most prestigious medical school tostudy Western medicine. After graduating, she worked as the youngest generalpractitioner at the country''s top hospital. Many times during her surgeries onthe operating table when patients were in danger, she used her Nine Yin NineYang Needle to save many patients. Shebined Chinese and Western medicineperfectly, known to the world as a medical genius. Nine Yin Nine Yang Detoxification Needle called forapplying a needle eighteen times on Yin and Yang pressure points. It was sessfulwhen the blood stimted by the needle was flowing fluidly. Chapter 3 part2 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor Taizi Fei Chapter 3 Nine Yin Nine Yang Detoxification Needle [3], Part 2 [TL Note: If you like what I do, consider !] YuanQiu inserted eight needles into little fatty''s Yinpoints in his head. She then inserted six needles into his left chest''s Yangpoints. The middle-aged doctor saw YuanQiu''s skillful andelegant way of using the needles. The points were urate and her hands werefast, something he could notpare to. He understood that he underestimatedthis girl. He didn''t expect that in this poor valley, there would be a girlwell-versed in medicine. YuanQiu''s rough fingers were as soft and light asflowers and leaves. Her insertion of the needles was graceful and swift, likedancing butterflies frolicking on flowers and trees. YuanQiu constantly applied needles to all majoracupressure points on fatty''s body. The middle-aged doctor found that thegirl''s technique was different from other doctors. She used a different techniquefor every acupuncture point. The needles were all taken out. Without pausing, shestarted inserting needles again. The same acupuncture points were pressed. Itseemed like there was no difference from before but the middle-aged doctorcould see that the amount of force used differ. In addition, the order of the needleapplication changed. Her movements were very fast. When she appliedneedles for the third time, sharp-eyed people noticed a hint of ck liquidseeping out along the edges of the needles. Aunt Zhang was startled and eximed, "What, whatis that ck blood? Did you hurt my little fatty?" YuanQiu did not lift her head nor stopped her hands.She had no time to care about Aunt Zhang. The doctor was afraid Aunt Zhang would inadvertentlydisturb YuanQiu. She stepped forward, "You don''t have to panic. The ck bloodis poisoned. If the poisoned blood flows out, little fatty''s life would besaved." Chapter 4 part1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor Taizi Fei Chapter 4 Nine Yin Nine Yang Detoxification Needle [4], Part 1 [TL Note: If you like what I do, consider !] Aunt Zhang almost jumped up in happiness. Givingmedicine to a dead horse actually worked. The little fatty was saved. Dawn broke and people started yawning. But no onewas willing to leave so they stayed with red eyes. At this time, YuanQiu was applying the Yang needlefor the ninth time. It was thest step to Nine Yin Nine Yang Needle. She didnot slow down. Whether she was tired or not, the people looking at just her movementswere tired. But she was able to persevere. When thest needle was inserted, little fatty''plexion returned to normal. Only it was a little pale, but losing so muchblood, it would be strange if it was not pale. YuanQiu pulled out thest needle and copsed onthe ground. She was so tired, she was sweating and panting. She had justehere for a short time. The body was only thirteen years old and she wasmalnourished. Her strength was limited. It was already a miracle she managed tplete the Nine Yin Nine Yang Needle. "Jie, what''swrong?" YuanHao nervously rushed forwards. His hands wrapped around YuanQiu''sarm, with a distressed face. YuanQiu shook her head. She rubbed her hand onYuanHao''s ck hair. She feebly said, "Nothing is wrong. My legs are a littlenumb. I''ll be okay after resting a bit." The greatestfort from travelling to a poormountain vige where the birds don''t poop is that she had a sensible andwell-behaved brother. It also made up for the regret of being an only child herprevious life. "He''s awake, my son is awake, my son is awake," AuntZhang was so excited she cried andughed. She hurriedly picked little fattyup from the ground, disregarding the blood on him. Chapter 4 part2 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor Taizi Fei Chapter 4 Nine Yin Nine Yang Detoxification Needle [4], Part 2 [TL Note: If you like what I do, consider !] Little fatty half-opened his tired eyes. He asked,puzzled, "Mother, you''re crying?" Aunt Zhang wiped the tears from her face, "Motherdidn''t cry. Mother is happy. If you''re tired, go to sleep. Mother will makesomething delicious for you." Little fatty nodded, closed his eyes, and went tosleep. Aunt Zhang told Old Zhang to bring their son intothe house. She told him to wash their son''s body and change him into cleanclothes. Old Zhang left without a word. Aunt Zhang walked over to YuanQiu, allsmiles. She was about to kneel and kowtow, but YuanQiu quickly held her up. Shedidn''t like Aunt Zhang, but she liked little fatty. She was willing to savehim. She didn''t need such a big gesture. "Aunt Zhang, you definitely can''t belike this. Little fatty and YuanHao are best friends. He oftenes to myhouse to y. I willingly saved him. You don''t need to keep it in your heart." Aunt Zhang was sharp and unkind and didn''t have agood temper. She even bullied the siblings. But she was an understandingperson. Without YuanQiu, her lifeblood would have been gone. YuanQiu savedlittle fatty, but she also saved her family. "Qiu guniang [Young unmarried miss, girl,dy], Iwas at fault before and treated you and your brother badly. But you can restassured, as long as Old Zhang and I are here, no one here in Xipo Vige wouldbully you two," Aunt Zhang promised. YuanQiu believed these words. In the previous host''smemory, Aunt Zhang was coarse and tough and her strength wasn''t weak either. Ina fight, not to mention women, but even ordinary men might not be able to beather. Her husband, Old Zhang, also knew some martial arts. Although he was notan expert, but it was enough to deal with some vigers. In Xipo Vige,there really was no one who would dare mess with them. YuanQiu was thanking her, when a viger smiled andsaid, "Aunt Zhang, you have to mean the words you say. I just saw Liu''s fourthdaughter-inw sneakily took two baskets to YuanQiu''s vegetable garden." Chapter 5 part1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor Taizi Fei Chapter 5 If She Doesn''t Want Face, She is Invincible [1], Part 1 [TL Note: If you like what I do, consider !] YuanQiu''s face changed. She inwardly scolded that ifone didn''t want face, then one really was invincible. Aunt Zhang coldly snorted. She pulled up her sleevesand said sharply, "N¨¦e Liu''s daughter-inw really doesn''t want her faceanymore. Her own son cheated YuanQiu''s money for so many years. He marriedsomeone else and now she still had the face to go to steal from someone else''svegetable garden. How hateful." She turned to YuanQiu and her brother. Shesoftened her voice and reassured, "YuanQiu, don''t worry, Aunt will give youjustice." YuanQiu hurriedly nodded her thanks. To deal withthe Liu''s fourth household, she only let someone fierce fight against someonefierce. Aunt Zhang was undoubtedly the best opponent for the one from Liu''sfourth household. YuanQiu recovered some strength so she neatly tidiedup the needle pouch. She waved it in front of the doctor, "If you agree to bet,you must ept your losses. This needle pouch is mine now." The doctor hurriedly replied, "Naturally it isyours. But the needles are old. What if I buy you a new set?" YuanQiu waved her hand, "There''s no need. They''refine. They seem pretty new to me." The doctor had a bellyful of questions to ask, butYuanQiu hurriedly rushed with Aunt Zhang to the vegetable garden in the back. Fourth Aunt Liu had already filled a basket to thebrim. She even picked all the good vegetables and stepped all over the badones. She didn''t feel guilty at all, as if taking it for granted. She wasswearing as she was picking vegetables, "I don''t know what how that darned girltends her vegetables. These vegetables actually grew so well." Thinking of herhouse''s wilting vegetable garden, she was filled with anger. She stomped alustrous cabbage to a pulp. Chapter 5 part2 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor Taizi Fei Chapter 5 If She Doesn''t Want Face, She is Invincible [1], Part 2 [TL Note: If you like what I do, consider !]
Aunt Zhang had already considered YuanQiu as one ofher own people. Seeing this scene, mes of fury rushed upwards. She stareddead at Fourth Aunt Liu, "Liu''s fourth household, do you have money to pay forall the vegetables you picked? The ones you also stepped on are also on yourtab. Don''t even think about reneging." The Fourth Aunt Liu who was vigorously picking vegetablesstraightened her back. Her freckled face showed disdain, "Little fatty''smother, did you eat too well? I''m picking Xia YuanQiu''s vegetables. How is thatyour business?" Aunt Zhang coldly sneered. She pulled YuanQiu over,"From now on, YuanQiu''s business is my business. So you say if this is my business?" Fourth Aunt Liu saw YuanQiu and becameufortable. She deliberately walked in front of YuanQiu''s house and saw thatthere was no one home. Then she came in. She knew YuanQiu''s personality. Evenif she picked all her vegetables, she would not go to reason with her. Shewould eat this loss, just like before. Fourth Aunt Liu''s freckled face showed an uglysmile. She said to YuanQiu, "I''m just picking some vegetables. Why did youbring little fatty''s mother over? Are you afraid I''ll treat you wrongly?" YuanQiu ignored Fourth Aunt Liu. She turned to AuntZhang and smiled, "Auntie, how much money do you think the vegetables shepicked and the ones she stepped on add up to?" Aunt Zhang and her husband had helped YuanQiu sellher vegetables when they were selling fish in the market. YuanQiu''s vegetableswere particrly good-selling. Everyone praised that they were very fresh. Themoisture content was high so the dishes made from them were good-tasting. Evenif the prices were higher, they still sold quickly. She naturally knew how muchthe basket of vegetables would cost. "We''re all neighbors living in the same vige.Let''s give her a discount. Let''s charge her one silver," Aunt Zhang nced, witheyes full of contempt, at Fourth Aunt Liu''s ck face. Chapter 6 part1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor Taizi Fei Chapter 6 If She Doesn''t Want Face, She is Invincible [2], Part 1 [TL Note: If you like what I do, consider !]
YuanQiu smiled happily like a flower. She only had sparsemeals during the days she came here. She wanted to eat meat until she wasalmost crazy. She finally had money to buy meat. "I''ll listen to Auntie. Sincewe''re neighbors, it''s not good to charge more." Fourth Aunt Liu couldn''t take it anymore andimmediately shouted, "One silver? You guys are out of your minds, aren''t you?You''ve never seen silvers before, right? This basket of vegetables is worth onesilver? Don''t extort me." Aunt Zhang coldly sneered. She looked at Fourth AuntLiu with a smile that''s not a smile and unhurriedly said, "If these vegetablesare worthless, then where did your son get the money to buy books and paper?How can you go to the city and eat, drink, and be merry? And where would youget the money to send betrothal gifts to the vige chief''s house?" Fourth Aunt Liu''s face turned cker and cker. Gossipof WenXuan relying on YuanQiu to obtain his Xiucai [a person who has passed thecounty level imperial exam] title was spread all over. Now WenXuan wanted tomarry the vige chief''s daughter. Everyone was saying how he had no backboneand that he was ungrateful. She red at Aunt Zhang and then turned to YuanQiu."Darned girl, eating your vegetables and you give me lip. Fortunately, WenXuanhimself refused to marry you. Otherwise, marrying you would be a familymisfortune." YuanQiu''s face was cold. She wanted to retort when the YuanHao who was standing behind her rushed out and shouted at Fourth Aunt Liu, "You be quiet. Don''t you scold my jie." YuanQiu patted YuanHao''s shoulder. Her face turned colder, "Fourth Aunt Liu, my eyes back then were blinded and couldn''t see people clearly. Now I washed my eyes and I''m not the Xia YuanQiu you used to bully. Don''t even think about reneging on the one silver today." Chapter 6 part2 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 6 If She Doesn''t Want Face, She is Invincible [2], Part 2 [TL Note: If you like what I do, consider !]
Fourth Aunt Liu knew she wouldn''t be able to takethe basket of vegetables away for free today. But could she spend one silver tobuy her family''s groceries? She would rather go and pick vegetables from herown house than spend one silver to buy a basket of vegetables back. She grumbled and poured out all the vegetables fromthe basket. She shouted, "Don''t use these vegetables to take this woman''smoney. This woman won''t fall for it! Huh!" Aunt Zhang immediately rolled up her sleeves andscolded, "You darned woman needs a beating. No one is scared of you. I''m notafraid. Come out and see how I deal with you." Fourth Aunt Liu also had a fiery temper. Although sheknew she wasn''t the coarse Aunt Zhang''s opponent, but the other side wasmoring to fight. How could she not respond? She flung her shoulder pole tothe ground and said angrily, "Liu Cui, you are bullying this woman up to herhead. This woman will fight with her life today." Seeing a violent battle was about to start, thevigers who were there to watch the liveliness circled them. Some tried tomake peace and some fanned the mes, being partial to either side. YuanQiu didn''t want her vegetables to be ruined invain. She turned to the Fourth Aunt Liu who was trying to leave, "Fourth AuntLiu, these vegetables were originally growing well on the ground. Now youpicked them all from the ground. You can''t say you don''t want them. If you''rereasonable, give me one silver. If you''re unreasonable, I will invite thevige chief and neighborhood chief to judge who has the logic here." Fourth Aunt Liu''s arrogance was halted. Inviting theneighborhood chief was fine. She could be thick-skinned. But the vige chiefwas her going to be her future inw. Whether he helped her or not, this wasnot something to be proud of. In the future, in front of his inws, her sonwould lose some face. This was not good. But to take out one silver was more painful thancutting off her flesh. She turned her eyes and pointed to the vegetables behindher, "Even if I have to give you money, let everyone judge. Is this pile ofdamaged vegetables worth one silver?" Chapter 7 part1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 7 If She Doesn''t Want Face, She is Invincible [3], Part 1
YuanQiu coldly sneered, "Let''s put aside whetherit''s worth the money or not. If you can let these vegetables grow back again, thenI don''t want any of your money." Of course she knew it wasn''t worth one silver.A basket of these vegetables would at most sell for 100 or 200 coins. After payingpUncle Zhang for selling them for her, she would at most have 100 coins. Buttoday she must extort this poniang [women (derogatory)]. She must let her seeblood or she woulde and steal again. YuanQiu''s words as sharp as the wind made her seemlike a different person from the yes-man she used to be. Fourth Aunt Liu wassurprised into speechlessness. Aunt Zhang''s heart was happy. "YuanQiu is right. Ifyou make these vegetables grow back like they were originally, then you don''tneed to pay. Otherwise, this is theft. Then we need to find the vige chiefto settle things. Oh right, the vige chief is your future rtive bymarriage. He will be on your side. Then we will invite the neighborhood chief.If he can''te, then my husband will make a trip into town. He''ll invite anofficial he knows there toe and formally use you of theft. Your Xiucaison would have some face then." Hearing Aunt Zhang would go to the county officials,Fourth Aunt Liu was scared into a cold sweat. Her son just received the Xiucaititle and hoped for more future prospects. If she blew this matter up in frontof the county official, would the official still look favorably upon WenXuan? "Little fatty''s mother, what are you saying? Ididn''t say I won''t pay. Why are you in such a hurry?" Fourth Aunt Liu''sfreckled face showed a forced smile to Aunt Zhang. She looked at YuanQiu andfalsely smiled, "YuanQiu, your vegetables are indeed good, but not worth onesilver. How about this? I have 100 coins on me right now. I''ll give that toyou. I''ll send you some more moneyter. What do you say?" YuanQiu''s coldly sneered in her heart. With FourthAunt Liu''s greedy and avaricious personality, if she brought the vegetablesback home, would she still send money over? That was more improbable than pigsflying. Chapter 7 part2 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 7 If She Doesn''t Want Face, She is Invincible [3], Part 2
YuanQiu firmly shook her head, "No, you must pay onesilver now. Otherwise, we''ll act ording to what Aunt Zhang said. When yourXiucai son''s reputation stinks, don''t me me for not giving you a chance." To deal with this evil poniang, using her reputationas a threat was useless. She simply didn''t care. But she cared about her son''sreputation. She was waiting for her son to rise to Juren [sessful candidatein the imperial provincial examination] and be an official. She could thenboast of being an official''s mother. She could not let a basket of vegetablesruin her son''s future. After thinking and weighing matters back and forth,she eventually gritted her teeth and stomped her feet. In front of everyone,she gave YuanQiu one silver. She then carried her wicker basket of vegetableshome, swearing all the way. The onlookers saw there was no more liveliness sothey returned home. YuanQiu thanked Aunt Zhang and asked YuanHao to pick a headof cabbage for her to take home. Aunt Zhang now saw YuanQiu as her benefactor and wasnot polite with her. In the future, the two households would still need to takecare of each other. She readily epted, "I just dried some small fishes. Myhusband will bring some over. You can taste it while it''s fresh." YuanQiu also readily epted. She knew Uncle Zhangwas a fishing expert. When he used to sell his fish at the market, YuanQiu wouldbeg him to sell her vegetables too. Uncle Zhang agreed readily but Aunt Zhanghad words to say. She wanted a reward for selling the vegetables. The formerYuanQiu was weak and cowardly and had not seen the world. She could not sellthe vegetables by herself so she agreed to Aunt Zhang''s request. Chapter 8 part1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 8 Sibling Affection, Part 1
During these few days, YuanQiu had clearly found outwhat the original host''s wishes were. This vegetable garden in her backyard wasvery different and special. No matter what was nted, it grew especiallywell. That had nothing to do with the original host''s gardening ability. Sinceher parents passed away in an ident three years ago, she met Fourth AuntLiu''s Xiucai son. Three years ago, he was not a Xiucai. His family didn''t wantto put him through school so he worked in the fields. He was not willing. LiuWenXuan was wiping tears off, hiding in the little forest on the east side ofthe vige and was seen by the original host. They lived in the same vigeso she knew some of the rumors. Looking at his tearful white face, the originalhost couldn''t bear it and impulsively stuffed the money that she got fromselling vegetables into Liu WenXuan''s hands. Since then, Liu WenXuan often appeared near XiaYuanQiu''s house. And it was always after Xia YuanQiu sold her vegetables. At the time, Xia YuanQiu was na?ve to the point ofstupidity. She couldn''t tell that he was there to cheat her money. Shesimplemindedly handed her hard-earned money unconditionally to him. Liu WenXuan looked neat and clean, with a cleavermouth to coax people. Xia YuanQiu firmly believed that if she persisted inputting Liu WenXuan through school, he would be a Xiucai. Then he would marryher and she would live a good life. The result was that Liu WenXuan obtained the Xiucai titleand the Liu family became prominent. But Xia YuanQiu did not receive news ofLiu WenXuan honoring his promise. Instead, she received the news of Liu familyand the vige chief''s family deciding on marriage. Xia YuanQiu could not ept this and wasexcessively heartbroken. She passed away and this was the rebirth of the 21stcentury''s Xia YuanQiu. Chapter 8 part2 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 8 Sibling Affection, Part 2
The siblings returned home and Uncle Zhang reallysent a basket of dried small fishes over. There was also an egg-drop soup withfoam and spring onions. In addition, there were four white, poached eggs. XiaYuanQiu started drooling. She embarrassedly said, "Uncle Zhang, this is notgood. The dried fish is okay. But take the eggs back to little fatty. He has tosupplement his body." Uncle Zhang smiled honestly. He waved his hand,"YuanQiu, don''t be polite with uncle and auntie. Little fatty has his share.This is especially for you and your brother. Look how thin YuanHao is. He can''tjust eat vegetables, right?" YuanQiu saw that Uncle Zhang was sincere in sendingthe eggs. She no longer refused, thinking that if her family was better off inthe future, she could not forget his family. She epted the things and Uncle Zhang left. She pushedthe bowl of egg-drop soup towards YuanHao. "YuanHao, eat quickly and thensleep. We can''t go to the mountain today. We''ll go tomorrow morning." Sheworked all night and was already malnourished. She was afraid that beforemaking it halfway up the mountain, she would have to be carried back. YuanHao obediently took the bowl and drank some. Hepushed the bowl back to YuanQiu. "Jie, I''m full. You eat now." YuanQiu''s heart warmed. Such a young child knew howto save the good foods for his jiejie. He would be a doting husband when hegrew up. She got up and retrieved a bowl from the simple kitchen outside thehouse. She added two eggs and pushed the bowl back to YuanHao. She firmly said,"Jiejie doesn''t like eating eggs. One is enough. Eat them all and don''t leaveany soup." YuanHao was already ten years old. He was not anignorant child who didn''t know anything. He knew his jiejie wanted to leave thebest food for him, not that she didn''t like eating eggs. Which poor family didnot like eating eggs? They were just reluctant to part with any and eat. Chapter 9 part1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 9 Vile Characters Discussing, Part 1
Looking at YuanHao''s tearful eyes, YuanQiu pettedhis head. She smiled, "YuanHao, remember as long as there is jiejie, jiejiewould not let you starve. Jiejie would definitely let us live a good life." YuanHao looked at his jiejie. Since she woke up fromfainting three days ago, she seemed to have changed into another person. Shewas no longer the Xia YuanQiu who said "yes" to everyone. She paid attention tohim now. Since she said these words, he was happy enough to go crazy. "What? You don''t believe jiejie?" Xia YuanQiufrowned and feigned anger, looking at him. YuanHaoi hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no. how canI not believe in jiejie? I believe everything jiejie says." "Since you believe jiejie, then quickly eat. Tonightwe would have congee with dried fish. Jiejie''s cooking skills aren''t bad.You''ll know when you''ve tasted it." She rubbed the top of YuanHao''s head, lookingat him with doting eyes. She had never been a person to admit defeat and givein to life. Since fate let her be reborn again, what''s the problem with amedical doctor turning into a peasant farmer girl? Heavens'' greatest gift wasthat she was still alive. As long as she was still alive, nothing wasimpossible. YuanHao had no more misgivings. He ate three poachedeggs and swore in his heart that as a man, he must protect his jiejie. Hewouldn''t let the shameless and wicked people in the vige bully his jiejie. After YuanHao fell asleep, YuanQiu went to thevegetable garden in the backyard. The soil was rich and fertile, somewhatdifferent from the other plots ofnd in Xipo Vige. This must be the mostprobable reason why the garden could grow such big and tender vegetables. Chapter 9 part2 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 9 Vile Characters Discussing, Part 2
Fourth Aunt Liu had deliberately stepped on somegood vegetables. But the rest of the good vegetables were saved for Uncle Zhangto sell at the market. Growing and selling vegetables did not make a goodliving. The backyard was also not very big and could only grow little amountsof vegetables. The ie was limited. It was estimated to be enough for foodfor the two siblings. If she wanted to send YuanHao to school next spring, sheneeded to think of ways to earn money. Moreover, the house needed some repairsor wintertime would be hard to survive. Fourth Aunt Liu carried a basket of vegetables home.She angrily threw the basket down. Her husband was at work. The house only hadLiu WenXuan and his younger sister Liu WenZhen. They heard the noise and rushedout of the house. They saw their mother, pale with anger. "Mother, what isthis?" Fourth Aunt Liu pointed to the basket of vegetableson the ground. "Since that cheap wench Xia YuanQiu could not marry over, shechanged in the blink of an eye. I went to her garden to pick vegetables. Shecame with Liu Cui to extort me. You two tell me, is this basket of vegetablesworth one silver?" Liu WenZhen took a cold breath and asked insurprise, "Mother, Xia YuanQiu asked you for money? How dare she?" Fourth Aunt Liu recalled Zia YuanQiu''s frostyexpression. She spat on the ground and viciously said, "That darned girl, nowthat she''s able, she doesn''t give me any face. She only recognizes silver orshe would report me for stealing." At this time, even Liu WenXuan''s face changed. Hewas in disbelief. In his memory, Xia YuanQiu didn''t even dare to look at him.She had this kind of guts? Liu WenZhen stared with round eyes. "So, mother, yougave her one silver?" Fourth Aunt Liu nced at Liu WenXuan andeximed, "Could I not give? So many people were watching. She wanted to findthe vige chief and neighborhood chief to judge at every turn. Theneighborhood chief is fine, but the vige chief is your brother''s futurefather-inw. We can''t let your brother lose face." Chapter 10 part1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 10 An Annoying Person Pays a Visit, Part 1
Liu WenZhen was angry and fiercely asked Fourth AuntLiu, "Mother, you''re really stupid. Getting caught picking vegetables andlosing one silver? How many things can our family buy with one silver? And soyou returned with this basket of damaged vegetables?" Liu WenZhen was seventeen years old and had reachedmarriageable age. To maintain her white skin, she never worked in the fieldswhen the sun was out. She had tender and soft white skin, but also Fourth AuntLiu''s sharpness and meanness. A seventeen-year-old guniang wanted to dress up themost. She begged her mother many times but her mother didn''t give her anypopr clothing. She hadn''t even worn a beautiful peach blossom in her hair.The family''s finances, including those cheated from Xia YuanQiu, were used onher brother, Liu WenXuan''s studies and betrothal gifts for the vige chief''sdaughter. She never received anything good. She also didn''t know if her motherwould give her a presentable dowry when she married. Thinking of this, she was more distressed over the silver.She turned to look at Liu WenXuan, "Brother, doesn''t that Xia YuanQiu listen toeverything you say? Go to her house and get her to return the silver back." Fourth Aunt Liu thought it was a good idea. If shewent, they wouldn''t get the silver back. But if WenXuan went, maybe they wouldget it back. Liu WenXuan stared at his mother and sister. Hesaid, displeased, "How can you think that? Tomorrow, I''m settling the marriagewith Chunyan. Today, I go to Xia YuanQiu''s house. If someone sees me, whatshould I say? Let Chunyan misunderstand me?" Fourth Aunt Liu pped her head. "Right, right. Iforgot about this. Since you''re about to get married, you can''t have any badrumors. WenXuan cannot go." "But can our family''s silver be given to Xia YuanQiuin vain? What does she count as, that she can spend our money?" Liu WenZhenunhappily and noisily argued. Chapter 10 part2 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 10 An Annoying Person Pays a Visit, Part 2
Aunt Li, who heard all this, was drying clothes inher courtyard next door. She wanted tough and cry so hard at the three''sconversation. They really were unreasonable. Fourth Aunt Liu took someoneelse''s vegetables. Wasn''t paying for that right and proper? How did it beXia YuanQiu being unqualified to spend their family''s money? But it was rightand proper for them to spend the money Xia YuanQiu worked hard for? Xia YuanQiu and her brother lost their parentsearly. They had one Dabo [father''s elder brother, i.e. first uncle] and oneSanShu [father''s younger brother, i.e. third uncle]. But they didn''t havemoney. They even asionally went over to Xia YuanQiu''s house during harvesttime for free meals. The two thin children were really pitiful. How could therebe such shameless people? It was not yet dark and YuanQiu was busily makingdinner. Sweet potato porridge was boiling in small medicine bottles on thesmall, y stove. YuanHao was minding the fire. The big stove was stewingdried fish with ginger, onion, garlic, green and red peppers and, what XiaYuanQiu was reluctant to use before, sesame oil. The fragrance was incredible. YuanHao started drooling at this tempting fragrance.He went over to the edge of the stove from time to time to take a deep breath,as if smelling it was the world''s most beautiful thing. Xia YuanQiu saw his greedy face andugheduncontrobly. Fortunately, in order to not eat the oily, outside food in herprevious life, she taught herself good cooking skills. It came in handy heretoo. "Oh¡­something smells delicious here." An annoying voice suddenly came into the house. Thesiblings frowned. DaboMu [Dabo''s wife, i.e. first aunt] wouldn''teif there were no matters. They feared it was nothing good from hering thistime. N¨¦e Lin came to the door of the simple kitchen. Thesmell of the pot wafted out and made her fiercely salivate. She squeezed out asmile, "YuanQiu, what delicious thing did you make? It''s so fragrant." N¨¦eLin''s eyes stared greedily at the pot. It was a pity the lid was on and shecouldn''t see anything. Chapter 11 part1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 11 An Annoying Person Borrows Money, Part 1
YuanQiu put out the stove''s fire. She lifted the lidand stirred a few times. N¨¦e Lin hurried over so she quickly put the lid backon. She smiled, "DaboMu, it''s just some dried fish Aunt Zhang sent over. It''snothing rare." N¨¦e Lin thought of the tender flesh of the fish andthe seductive scent wafting into her nose. The glutton in her was excited. She ruthlessly swallowed her saliva and stared atYuanQiu, "This girl, you have something good to eat and don''t honor yourelders? If I didn''te, you would eat it all alone?" Once YuanQiu recalled that N¨¦e Lin''s familyughtered and ate her house''s only old hen, hatred rose from her heart. Hereyes rounded, "DaboMu, it''s not that the younger generation has no filialpiety. The only hen in my house that couldy eggs had been eaten by a dog.Even the eggs that were saved with difficulty to exchange for rice were takenaway by that vicious dog that deserves heaven''s wrath. Aunt Zhang saw howpitiful we siblings were and brought some dried small fish over, enough for meand YuanHao to have a meal." As N¨¦e Lin''s face ckened, YuanQiu continued, "It''s okay if DaboMu wants to eat. Tomorrow, YuanHao and I would go without eating to DaboMu''s house. Since DaboMu is an elder, you wouldn''t let us starve." N¨¦e Lin shouted without thinking, "You two jinxeswant to eat at my house? Don''t even think about it. No way." YuanQiu coldly smiled, "Then DaboMu wants to eat myhouse''s rice? By the fact that you''re an elder?" N¨¦e Lin lifted her chin and doggedly said, "So what?Don''t you call me ''DaboMu?'' DaboMu eating the younger generation''s food isright and proper." YuanQiu rolled her eyes. She thought that thisannoying person''s thinking was really special. Chapter 11 part2 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 11 An Annoying Person Borrows Money, Part 2
"DaboMu, although YuanHao and I don''t have parents,we are not cowards who can be bullied. If you steel your heart to go againstus, I''m not easy to push around. YuanQiu''s bright eyes emitting coldness redat N¨¦e Lin, while her face held a murderous air. N¨¦e Lin was a bit frightened.She even had a feeling that the guniang in front of her was not hereasily-bullied and malleable niece. She seemed to havepletely changed intoanother person. "You¡­you child. What are you saying? We''re a family.A single stroke cannot write a ''Xia'' character. Aren''t I just lecturing yousiblings? If you don''t like to listen, then DaboMu won''t speak. Eat your smalldried fish yourself, okay? DaboMu is not a stingy person. Would I take yourhouse''s food away?" YuanQiu coldly hummed. She lifted her eyebrows,"Yes, how could DaboMu do such a despicable thing? Although my family''s old henand eggs were stolen, but I know DaboMu definitely did not steal them. It mustbe the vige''s mad dogs and wild boars. The mad dogs and wild boars that atemy family''s old hen and eggs would certainly have rotting intestines and bodiesfull of sores. The heavens would strike them and thunder and lightning wouldsplit them in halves. They would not die good deaths." N¨¦e Lin''s face changed color several times. Howcould she not tell that YuanQiu was pointing at the mulberry tree but cursingthe locust tree? But since she did not admit it earlier, she could not admit iteven more now. She could only swallow her anger down. "Look at you. You only lost an old hen but you haveto curse so viciously?" N¨¦e Lin faked augh. YuanHao held back hisughter on the side, almost untilhe got internal injuries. But he was unwilling to leave. He wanted to seeDaboMu scolded by jiejie. YuanQiu turned to lift the lid. She picked out thejust-cooked dried fish out. The fishes were tender and fragrant enough to makesomeone''s index finger twitch. She brought a heaping bowl of fish to the houseand set it down on the four-legged table. Chapter 12 part1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 12 Return What You Borrowed and You May Borrow Again [1], Part 1
"DaboMu, we didn''t cook rice for you. Return home ifthere is nothing else. YuanHao and I are going to eat." She didn''t want to seeN¨¦e Lin''s face. It would affect her appetite. How could N¨¦e Lin leave just like that? She camehere for a purpose. "YuanQiu, it''s like this. YuanSong is sick andcouldn''t get out of bed. Your Dabo said he would go to the city in the morningfor a doctor. But our family has no money. We wanted to borrow some from you.Rest assured. After we collect and sell rice for a good price in a few days, wewould return the money to you immediately." N¨¦e Lin stared at YuanQiu without blinking, watchingher every expression. Unfortunately, she didn''t see anything. YuanQiu''sface held no expression and was calm as an icyke, unapproachable andimprable. YuanQiu knew since she saw N¨¦e Lin that her purposewas the silver she got today. "How much does DaboMu want to borrow?" N¨¦e Lin thought it was a trick. She immediately puta wide smile on her face. "Borrowing one silver. You know since young, YuanSongis sickly and prone to illness. He''s apt to inviting a doctor and drinkingmedicine for everything and spent all your Dabo''s savings. We have no otherway. That''s why I''m shamelessly here to ask you." YuanQiu lightly smiled with a ridiculing sneer.Seeing clearly into N¨¦e Lin''s heart, YuanQiu said, "DaboMu, it''s not that Iwon''t lend you. But the saying is ''return what you borrowed and you may borrowagain.'' Last month, you also said that YuanSong was sick and needed medicine.You borrowed 300 coins from me. The month before that, you borrowed 400 coins.The times before that, I won''t calcte with you. Let''s focus on the 700 coinsfor these two months. Repay that first and we''ll discuss borrowing moneyagain." N¨¦e Lin immediately became angry. "What a good Xia YuanQiu. All this talk is to say you won''t lend the money right?" Chapter 12 part2 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 12 Return What You Borrowed and You May Borrow Again [1], Part 2
YuanQiu shrugged. "I didn''t say I won''t lend. I''mjust telling you a principle. If borrowing is easy and returning is easy, thenit''s easy to borrow again. If you don''t return it in the beginning, it''s difficultto borrow againter on." "You yatou [girl (used deprecatingly or endearingly)], when did you be so hateful? YuanSong is your own tangge [older male patrilineal cousin]. You have the heart to watch him be sick?" N¨¦e Lin rounded her eyes, staring at YuanQiu like she owed her money. YuanQiu was expressionless and said unhurriedly,"DaboMu, I already said it''s not that I won''t lend. Pay back what you borrowedbefore and we''ll discuss borrowing money." N¨¦e Lin knew more talking would get no results. XiaYuanQiu changed. She was no longer the former cowardly and weak Xia YuanQiu.Some casual words could suppress her [N¨¦e Lin]. She pondered in her mind. Wouldn''t it be fine if shereturned 700 coins and borrowed them back? Didn''t YuanQiu say that afterrepaying the 700 coins, she could borrow money? Then couldn''t it be okay if sheborrowed the silver along with the 700 coins together? N¨¦e Lin''s face gradually regained color. She said,"You wait. I will go back to get the money. Don''t renege." N¨¦e Lin turned and rushed away, as if ghosts werechasing her. "Jie, are you really lendingmoney to DaboMu?" YuanHao asked worriedly. YuanQiu stared smilingly at him. "I have meat bunsbut I don''t eat them and throw them at dogs?" YuanHao didn''t understand, "Jie, what do you mean?" "Meat buns thrown at dogs could not be retrieved. CanI use our family''s money to feed their bottomless pit?" YuanHao let out a big sigh of relief. He was veryafraid that his jiejie would be like before. The money from selling vegetableswould either be given to Liu WenXuan or lent to DaboMu under various reasonsand was never repaid. Chapter 13 part1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 13 Return What You Borrowed and You May Borrow Again [2], Part 1
"But jie, since we''re not lending money to DaboMu,why did you promise her that if she returned the 700 coins, we would lend hermoney again?" YuanHao was still worried. It was very difficult to finally havesome money. It couldn''t be gone just like that. YuanQiu smiled and rubbed his head. Her eyes showeda crafty light. "Which ear of yours did you hear me promising to lend hermoney? I said that after she repaid the 700 coins, we would talk about. Justtalking. I don''t have to lend it." YuanHao suddenly realized. Jiejie''s trick was reallyclever. It seemed like jiejie really understood to not foolishly be a goodperson again. YuanQiu took a small bowl and filled it with thestewed dried fish. "YuanHao, send this to Aunt Zhang''s house and invite her te over." YuanHao readily took the bowl and went straight toAunt Zhang''s house without speaking. "YuanQiu, how did you make this dried fish stew? Whyis it so delicious? As soon as little fatty, that rascal, smelled it, he cameout of his room," Aunt Zhang shouted smilingly from outside the house toYuanQiu. YuanQiu lightly smiled, "It''s easy to make. IfAuntie wants to learn, I''ll teach you." While DaboMu had not returned, YuanQiu spoke indetail how to make the stewed dried fish. Those who cook on a stove all daycould understand immediately. Aunt Zhang said she would make it tomorrow and invitedher and YuanHao over to have a taste. In the mor, N¨¦e Lin and her daughter YuanLingcame in. YuanLing was older than YuanQiu by a year and looked like N¨¦e Lin. She had single eyelids, couched nose, and face was covered with freckles. Fortunately, the shape of her face was like her father''s: a standard oval face. It made up for some shorings and was not as ugly and disgusting. Chapter 13 part2 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 13 Return What You Borrowed and You May Borrow Again [2], Part 2
YuanLing hated YuanQiu because YuanQiu had a pair ofbig, limpid eyes, double eyelids, and a high and straight nose. She lookedbetter than her, so of course, YuanLing was jealous. Fortunately, sinceYuanQiu''s parents passed away, she had to take care of the vegetable garden allday. YuanQiu''s white and tender face tanned a bit so she didn''t look as good asbefore. YuanLing''s heart felt better. "Oh, N¨¦e Lining over at this time, is anythingwrong?" Aunt Zhang was adaptable. Seeing N¨¦e Lin and her daughter, she had someguesses in her heart and understood why YuanQiu invited her over. Her contemptfor N¨¦e Lin increased. N¨¦e Lin also stared at Aunt Zhang. She squeezed outa smile, "Why did youe, Liu Cui?" Aunt Zhang pointed at the stewed fish on the tableand smiled, "I came for the smell of the food. It was oddly fragrant so I cameto ask YuanQiu for the recipe." N¨¦e Lin smiled and looked at YuanQiu. "Since you gotthe recipe, you go back. I have something to discuss with YuanQiu." Aunt Zhang naturally knew N¨¦e Lin had some rottenn in mind. She didn''t expose her and said, "That''s not good. I''m not dalking to YuanQiu yet. You two speak first. I''ll wait for you to finish." N¨¦e Lin was going to refuse but YuanQiu spoke first."Then I''ll first wrong Auntie. DaboMu is here to pay back the money. It won''ttake long." Aunt Zhang deliberately made an exaggeratedexpression. "What? Your DaboMu is here to pay back money? Is this true? She canspit out money that went into her pocket?" N¨¦e Lin did not know this was reverse psychology.She stared at Aunt Zhang and immediately said, "Liu Cui, don''t look down onpeople. Why can''t I be here to repay money? I''ll show it to you today." Sheangrily took out 700 coins and pped them on the table. "Here ¨C 700 coins.Not one is missing." Chapter 14 part1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 14 It''s Hard to Borrow Again, Part 1
Aunt Zhang was afraid she would regret it so shequickly picked up the coins for YuanQiu. She rapidly counted and then handedthem over to YuanQiu. "It''s exactly 700 coins. I did not expect your DaboMu tostill have a conscience. She saw you siblings going through tough times andcame to repay money." N¨¦e Lin felt something was wrong. She anxiouslysaid, "YuanQiu, we agreed earlier. I return 700 coins and then I borrow onesilver plus these 700 coins from you. I will certainly return all the moneyback to you." Aunt Zhang almost choked to death on her own saliva.Was there anyone more shameless in the world? She just repaid money, but nowwanted to borrow again. And this time, she wanted to borrow all the money insomeone''s hands. She clearly knew the siblings were living a hardlife. As a DaboMu, she not giving material assistance was fine. But she cameevery harvest time to borrow things and money. Was she still human? YuanQiu put away the 700 coins and smiled at N¨¦eLin. "DaboMu, I''ll be honest. I can see the bottom of my house''s rice jar. If Idon''t buy rice, YuanHao and I would starve. The vegetables in the backyard arematured. It''s time to also buy seeds. The old hen was stolen so I should buytwo chickens to raise. I don''t have any extra money to lend to you." N¨¦e Lin''s forehead wrinkled. The original singleeyelids twisted into triangr shapes, quite ugly. N¨¦e Lin finally reacted. She was tricked by thisdarned yatou YuanQiu. She cheated her 700 coins. Even the money she promised tolend earlier, YuanQiu wasn''t lending. N¨¦e Lin lost everything she invested! "You¡­you cannot go back on your word. You clearly promised to lend, but why are you not lending now? You can''t be like this. Your YuanSong tangge still can''t get out of bed." N¨¦e Lin was anxious. She went forwards to pull YuanQiu''s hand. Chapter 14 part2 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 14 It''s Hard to Borrow Again, Part 2
Aunt Zhang''s body moved and blocked in front of N¨¦eLin. She smilingly said, "Xia Dasao [respectful appetion for married woman],aren''t you mistaken? I saw YuanSong sitting in the courtyard this afternoonreading a book. Hisplexion looked very good. How can he not get out of bed inthis short period of time?" N¨¦e Lin red at Aunt Zhang. She gritted her teeth,"So what? He wasn''t sick in the afternoon so he can''t be sick now? YuanSong issick now. Is it possible I''m lying to you?" YuanLing saw that N¨¦e Lin was stopped by Aunt Zhangso she rushed to grab YuanQiu. She thought that no matter what, she must getthe 700 coins back. YuanHao took a big step forwards in front of YuanQiu.He looked at YuanLing, "What do you want to do? Rob money?" YuanLing was furious. She pointed to YuanHao''s noseand scolded, "You little jinx, go away! That 700 coins is my family''s. How isit robbing? Give it back." Standing behind YuanHao, YuanQiu''s original smilingface turned to frost. "Xia YuanLing, you better clean your mouth. Don''t be likethe vige''s dogs. They stole and ate someone''s old hen but still barked madlyat the hen''s owner. You two repaid the 700 coins to me. Aunt Zhang heard thisjust now. If you want to deny it, let''s invite the vige chief andneighborhood chief over and settle the old ounts with the new debts. Thenrepay back all the money you''ve previously borrowed from me. How about it?" N¨¦e Lin and YuanLing''s arrogance were put out byhalf. N¨¦e Lin was filled with hatred but she could only pull her face into apitiful expression. "YuanQiu, it''s not that DaboMu don''t want to repay you, butyou know DaboMu''s living situation. We can''t eat three meals or have enough clothesto cover the body. And your Tangge got sick but we have no money to seek adoctor. What am I supposed to repay you with?" Chapter 15 part1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 15.1 Feigning Illness to Cheat Money
They didn''t have three meals a day so they came tosteal her old hen and eggs? Not enough clothes to wear? Their clothing wasbetter than YuanHao and mine by ten times. Tangge was ill and no money toinvite a doctor? That''s great. She had superb medical skills and nowhere to usethem. She would cure him and not charge a coin. Heh heh. She could immediately cure Tangge''s illnessand made it so that he would never dare to be sick again. "DaboMu, how about this? I''ll go take a look at Tangge.Maybe I could cure him and you don''t have to go to the doctor''s. You can savemoney and trouble. What do you think?" N¨¦e Lin was about to refuse. But YuanLing''s eyesshifted. She pulled her mother and gave her a wink. N¨¦e Lin immediately caughton. She turned to YuanQiu, "Then take a look at YuanSong. But you have topromise that if you can''t cure him, you must lend me the money so that I cantake YuanSong to the doctor''s." YuanQiu smiled and nodded, "Of course. An illnessmust have a cure. If I cannot cure him, then naturally you should inviteanother doctor to cure him. DaboMu''s house has difficulties. There is no justificationfor your niece to not help, right?" These words rid N¨¦e Lin''s worries. Her faceimmediately became happy. She turned to wink to her daughter. How could XiaYuanLing not understand? She hurried out and flew back home. N¨¦e Lin did not see YuanQiu perform acupuncture onlittle fatty so she naturally did not know that YuanQiu knew medicine. Shethought YuanQiu was bragging. If YuanSong pretended to be ill, could YuanQiunot hand over the money? As the saying went, one could never wake up someonepretending to be asleep. Simrly, a good doctor could never cure someonepretending to be sick. But YuanQiu was not a random doctor. She had her ways. Xia YuanQiu let N¨¦e Lin return home first. She and YuanHao had dinner and then leisurely went over to DaboMu''s house. Chapter 15 part2 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 15.2 Feigning Illness to Cheat Money
It was early autumn. The sun had set by this time.It was a good time to stroll and digest food in the sunset glow and breezywind. The siblings met a lot of people along the way. YuanQiu greeted andinvited everyone to DaboMu''s house for the liveliness. She had never likedliveliness but now, the more people and bustle, the more favorable it was forher. Aunt Zhang also had dinner at home and rushed over.She was afraid the siblings would be bullied by N¨¦e Lin and Xia Tieniu andbrought her husband, Zhang Lin, along with her. Although Dabo''s family also lived in a thatchedcottage, but their thatched cottage was much nicer than her own. It wasspacious and did not have leaky walls. The ce had lots of cooking equipment andnothing was missing. This cottage was much better than her 3.5-walls ce. The legendary always-ill tangge, Xia YuanSong, wascurrently lying in bed. He was pretending to sleep under the quilt, with hiseyes tightly shut. He stayed in that position, waiting for her for a long time.Because the weather did not call for quilts yet, he had a forehead full ofsweat. Xia Tieniu went into his cottage with his handssped behind his back. He looked at YuanQiu and said lightly, "YuanQiu, whendid you learn how to treat illnesses? How did I not know?" He firmly believedthat Xia YuanQiu did not know medicine. But the people outside were discussingloudly. They said they personally saw YuanQiu save the dying little fattystnight. Little fatty was originally bitten by a poisonous snake but wapletely fine right now. They painted a colorful picture of how YuanQiuinserted needles to rid the poison. But he still refused to believe it. Hecouldn''t imagine how the weak and ignorant Xia YuanQiu knew medicine. If YuanQiu hated N¨¦e Lin with 10% of her being, thenshe hated Xia Tieniu with 20%. N¨¦e Lin bullying her and her brother could beconsidered as an outsider woman''s selfishness. She was afraid the siblings woulddrag her family down. Chapter 16 part1 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 16.1 Exposing the Trick
But Xia Tieniu was her biological Dabo, her deceasedfather''s biological older brother. But Xia Tieniu still treated the siblings socoldly. He allowed N¨¦e Lin to bully orphans who lost their parents and cheataway their hard-earned money from selling vegetables. Even if he didn''tpersonally do these things, since he acquiesced to N¨¦e Lin doing them, what wasthe difference between him doing them himself? Xia YuanQiu''s cool eyes looked at Xia Tieniu. Shefaintly said, "Dabo neveres to my house. How would you know what I know andwhat I don''t know?" The vigers outside heard and knew that YuanQiu''sheart held resentment. Bute to think of it, the siblings lost their parentsthree years ago. One was eleven and one was seven. Even the funeral was held bythe vige chief. Some kind-hearted vigers helped cook the meal afterwards.Her Dabo Xia Tieniu hid far away and didn''t do anything. The third brother XiaTiezhu was a shopkeeper in the county and said he had no time toe back.They didn''t even care about their brother''s funeral, how could they care aboutthe two orphans? Xia Tieniu heard the discussions outside and hisface immediately changed. He stared hard at Xia YuanQiu and said unhappily, "Sinceyou know medicine, what are you waiting for? Waiting for your Tangge to die?" YuanQiu wasn''t angry at Xia Tieniu''s berating. ButYuanHao''s small hands clenched into fists and he red at Xia Tieniu withpursed lips. Xia YuanQiu secretly held a thin needle in herfingers. She went to sit down by the bed and felt the pulse. ording to N¨¦e Lin, this Xia YuanSong was a sickly person. He needed medicine every two or three days and emptied the family''s coffers. But from his pulse, Xia YuanSong was in good shape. There wasn''t the slightest sign of a weak body. It was obvious N¨¦e Lin was full of nonsense. N¨¦e Lin really dared to say anything to cheat money. She wasn''t afraid her stinky mouth would bring bad luck to her son. Chapter 16 part2 Rebirth of the Abandoned Woman: Godly Doctor TaiziFei Chapter 16.2 Exposing the Trick
"DaboMu, how long has Tangge been like this? Henever woke up?" YuanQiu frowned and did not expose her. N¨¦e Lin was secretly happy. She knew YuanQiu musthave no means. She unconsciously smiled, "He was suddenly like this after ShenShi [3-5 p.m.]. He wouldn''t wake up no matter how much we called him. It scaredme and your Dabo to death. We were about to go to the city for a doctor." As N¨¦e Lin was speaking, YuanQiu took the chance tosqueeze Xia YuanSong''s hand in the quilt. When N¨¦e Lin finished speaking, YuanQiu stood up andretreated. "DaboMu, YuanQiu''s medical skills aren''t proficient. I''m afraid Ican''t cure Tangge. Why don''t you take him to the city?" N¨¦e Lin and Xia YuanLing immediately smiled.Ignoring the people''s doubtful gazes, they ran over to YuanQiu. They stretchedout their hands. N¨¦e Lin said, "Then hand over the silver." Xia YuanLing also hurriedly said, "And hand over the700 coins we returned to you." What did the onlookers not understand at this point?It was clear that YuanSong was pretending to be sick. How could a personsuddenly lose consciousness in the middle of the day? Everyone stared at N¨¦e Lin, Xia YuanLing, and Xia Tieniuwith eyes of contempt. They even cheated such pitiful siblings; were they stillthe elders? They weren''t giving people a way to live. YuanQiu calcted and thought it was about time.She reached into her bosom and withdrew a shabby coin purse. As she untied thecoin purse''s string, she said, "Wait, DaboMu. I''ll give you the money now. Thematter of someone falling ill cannot be dyed. A small illness may be draggedinto a serious illness. Maybe he would be crippled. That won''t be good."

N¨¦e Lin didn''t care if her words sounded good atthis point. She just wanted to get the money in her hands as soon as possible. Just as the coin purse was opened and a shiny silverwas aboutnd her hands, N¨¦e Lin heard a shout. The originally fine XiaYuanSong who was lying in bed jumped out of bed, shivering and yelling out thatit was hot. The silver Xia YuanQiu took out was stuffed backinside the coin purse. She quickly tied the coin purse''s string and put thecoin purse back into her bosom. She smiled at DaboMu, "It seems like Tanggedoesn''t need to find a doctor in the city. He woke up of his own ord." N¨¦e Lin was so angry her teeth ached. She wanted tobite this stupid son of hers. She was about to seed. He couldn''t tolerate itand had to jump up? Xia YuanLing stomped towards Xia YuanQiu. "Althoughmy brother woke up, that doesn''t mean he''s okay. He must still be ill. He stillneeds to go to the doctor''s. Hurry and hand the silver over. Don''t dawdle." From her words, it seemed as if YuanQiu''s money wasXia YuanLing''s. YuanQiu ignored this uncivilized yatou. She looked straight andXia YuanSong and smiled, "Tangge, do you still feel ufortable?" She wavedher hand. Others might not have seen anything, but Xia YuanSong clearly thatYuanQiu was holding a needle in her hand. When she finished checking his pulseand was putting his hand back under the quilt, she secretly stabbed hisacupuncture points a few times. He felt as if millions of ants were biting him allover his body. It was so painful he was in a cold sweat. He clenched his teethand didn''t dare to make a sound. Soon, the pain disappeared and he secretly letout a sigh of relief. But his body suddenly began to feel hot. It was so hot hecouldn''t stand it anymore and threw off the quilt.

He knew it was YuanQiu who harmed him. But he didn''tdare say it out loud. If he said it, wouldn''t it mean that he was pretending tobe sick? He repeatedly waved his hand. "No, no. I''m notufortable. YuanQiu, hurry and return home. It''s about to be dark." Helooked at the silver needle in her hand and was scared. He hoped she woulddisappear quickly before him. YuanQiu swept her eyes over the green faces of Daboand DaboMu and the Xia YuanLing whose lips were white from her biting them. Herheart was very happy. She pulled YuanHao. Towards N¨¦e Lin and Xia Tieniu, shesaid, "Dabo, DaboMu, since Tangge is okay now, then YuanHao and I will goback." N¨¦e Lin was so angry her whole body was trembling.She couldn''t speak. In front of everyone, how could she grab the silver out ofYuanQiu''s hands? The vigers were rather slow people, but even theyunderstood the situation. N¨¦e Lin and Xia Tieniu were disgraceful. The siblingslived in the most broken-down cottage and had no parents. Xia YuanQiuespecially, had to be father and mother at a young age. It wasn''t clear how theysurvived these three years. Although selling vegetables could earn some money,but the money was swallowed by the Liu family. Now she had such exploitativertives. She really was pitiful. As soon as they returned home, YuanHao couldn''t helpbut ask, "Jie, what did you do just then to have YuanSong Tangge suddenly getout of bed?" YuanQiu smiled mysteriously. She withdrew the needlehidden in her fingers. She waved it in front of YuanHao. "I just stabbed himtwice. Who made him look so much like he''s sick? If I didn''t cure him, then whowill?" YuanHao smiled from ear to ear. "Jie, this move isreally too much. But it''s immensely satisfying. Let''s see if they dare toborrow money from us again."

YuanHao slept very well tonight. Since his parentspassed away three years ago, he hadn''t slept peacefully. He had a nightmareevery night. He dreamt his jiejie left him and didn''t want him anymore. Hedreamt his DaboMu took away all the food in the house. He dreamt he was sick,but there was no money to seek treatment. He dreamt the vige bully beat himto death. He was scared awake each time. He saw his jiejie and then he couldsleep again. But tonight, his troubles were no longer there. Forthe first time, he slept well into morning. His body was veryfortable. Hisbad energies were swept away, leaving behind a crisp and refreshing feeling. The smell of congee was already wafting in from thekitchen. He walked quickly out of the house and saw that jiejie had alreadyfinished cooking congee. It was the same, thick congee asst night and notthe normal thin gruel they had every day. "Jie, we don''t have much food left. Why did you cooksuch a thick congee?" Although he loved eating this congee, but he couldn''t befull today and starve tomorrow right? YuanQiu brought the finished congee and vegetablesinto the room. She didn''t turn her head to reply, "Silly boy. If we don''t eat,where do we get the energy to go up the mountain?" "But - " YuanHao was going to keep speaking, butYuanQiu pulled him to sit at the table. She smiled, "Don''t worry. From now on,jiejije won''t let you be hungry again. We also have to live in a good house.And next springtime, you have to go to school. Don''t worry about food or money,okay?" YuanHao looked at his jiejie''s firm eyes and the tip of his nose ached. His eyes were misty. He firmly pressed his lips together. "I don''t want to go to school. What''s so good about school? It''s a waste of money and not as good as working in the fields."

YuanQiu poked his forehead. "You think I don''t knowwhat you''re thinking? Let''s not talk about this now. You''ll soon find out yourjiejie isn''t boasting." She knew YuanHao wanted to go to school. Every time hesaw a child from the vige walk by with a book bag, he would stand and starefor a long time. The envious yearning in his eyes could not be hidden. Him saying such words was just because he didn''twant to add to the family''s burdens. YuanHao looked at his jiejie. Was this still hisjiejie? Jiejie used to call him to eat, but hardly talked to him otherwise. Shealso didn''t care about what he was thinking. But now, jiejie not only spokemore, but also brought up sending him to school. This was too incredible. He suddenly shook his head and chided his ownsenselessness. Jiejie was jiejie. How could she not be jiejie? She just changedbecause due to being heartbroken over Liu WenXuan. But changing like this, hewas very happy. The siblings ate breakfast. Then, with a basket eachon their backs, they hurriedly rushed towards the Yunying Mountain 500 metersaway from Xipo Vige. Yunying Mountain wasn''t too high. There were manytrees on the mountain so the Xipo vigers cut wood from there. Those withgood luck could asionally catch a wild pheasant or rabbit. Below Yunying Mountain, YuanQiu nced at themist-shrouded forest in the southwest direction. She wondered, "What is thatce? Why don''t we go there? Yunying Mountain has so many peopleing andgoing that it might be hard to find good wood, not to mention other things." YuanHao immediately shook his head like a rattledrum. "Jie, you don''t know. That forest is called the Ghost Forest. I heardthat every night will-o-wisps will float in the forest and ghosts will wail.It''s scary. Some with courage went in, but no one came out. No dared to getclose from then on. Even the nearby farnds are barren. No one dares to beclose to Ghost Forest."

"Who did you hear that from?" YuanQiu disliked thiskind of gossip the most. "Little fatty said so. He said his fifth uncle wascourageous and didn''t believe in the rumors. For his family, he went into GhostForest and he never returned." YuanHao was afraid YuanQiu wouldn''t believe himso he hastily supplied evidence. Unfortunately, YuanQiu did not believe him. She knewthat the so-called will-o-wisps weren''t really will-o-wisps. The crying soundsin the forest could be from the wind. Those who entered the forest and didn''e out encountered poisonous snakes or ferocious beasts. And those poisonoussnakes and ferocious beasts were not active around the forest''s periphery.Generally some harmless little beasts were active around the forest. "I''ve decided. I''m going into Ghost Forest." Xia YuanQiustarted walking and paid no heed to YuanHao''s opinions. YuanHao was helpless.He was scared but still went with her. He couldn''t let his jiejie, a girl, goalone to face dangers. After Si Shi [9-11 a.m.], the siblings finallyarrived near the Ghost Forest. They were at least 800 meters away, but the coldair from the forest had been blowing. No wonder the nearby vigers were afraid toehere. Without strong psychological preparation, one would think this strongchill was eerie. YuanQiu was not afraid. The forest had giant,towering trees that covered the sky. The forest inside was also wet. It wouldbe strange if it wasn''t cold. Ghost Forest covered a wide expanse of area. Onecouldn''t see past it. It seemed like a dark green python lounging in front ofthem, without a head or tail. "Jiejie, let''s go back." YuanHao thought of littlefatty''s words and his heart constantly yed the drum. YuanQiu held YuanHao''s hand and smiled. "Silly kid.It''s broad daylight. Even if there is a ghost, it wouldn''t dare toe out.What are you afraid of?" Once YuanQiu mentioned ghost, YuanHao was more scared. He pulled hard on YuanQiu''s hand. He neither let go nor left.

"Wait here if you''re afraid. I''ll go take a look."YuanQiu saw that he was really afraid. She didn''t want to force him. He wasonly a ten-year-old child after all. Being afraid was normal. YuanHao was more afraid hearing that he was going tobe left alone. At least going along with his jiejie, he would have apanion. "Don''t move." YuanQiu suddenly turned and pulledYuanHao back, scaring YuanHao into quivering. "What? What?" "Shh, don''t speak." She held up a finger and made a"silent" gesture. YuanHao hastened to cover his mouth with his hands.His eyes were full of panic. Even his legs were a bit soft. After listening a while, YuanQiu turned to seeYuanHao''s expression. She couldn''t help butugh loudly. Sheughed until herbody was curved. "You little thing. Is it really that scary? I just heard thesound of water. I wanted to listen closely so I told you to not make a noise.Look at you. Your lips are white." YuanHao understood. It was a false rm. He drilughed. "Who let you suddenly be like that? I thought you saw something." YuanQiu loudlyughed. "Yes, I saw something dirty.It''s you. How many days have you not bathed? Your body smells. Come on. Jiejiewill take you to have a refreshing bath." Sure enough, in a small slope, they found a stream.The stream meandered from the forest and the water was very clear. "This must be water from the forest''s ancient spring.It''s not a lot. I estimate within a few miles, the flow will be exhausted. Andthere''s no one here for miles. No wonder no one discovered this." YuanQiu tookthe bamboo tube on her and used it to drink some water. It tasted very clearand sweet. After drinking, there was a sense of fatigue being swept away: veryrefreshing. Chapter 20 part1 [TL Note: I have over 400+ posts, so I will NOT be doing navigation buttons. All avable chapters are in the under "Current Projects." If you like what I do, consider ! I''ll post bonus chapters!]
She handed the bamboo tube to YuanHao. "Taste it." YuanHao hesitated. "Jie, I can really drink this?" "Of course you can drink it. It''s mountain springwater which contains rich natural minerals. It''s good for the body. Drinkmore." YuanHao blinked and asked, confused, "Jie, what arenatural minerals?" Gah. That was a good question. She becamespeechless. She couldn''t say that natural minerals were thetrace elements needed by the human body, right? Then if YuanHao asked her whattrace elements were, how would she answer? Okay. She chose to ignore his question. She got upand took a few steps along the stream. She walked around a clump of weeds astall as half a human''s height. The vibrant green color in front of her made hersurprised and happy. YuanHao drank two tubes of spring water. He feltrefreshed and unspeakablyfortable. He ran over to YuanQiu and smiled. "Jie,this water is really delicious. If it wasn''t too far away, I really want tobring some back." Seeing YuanQiu not responding, he stared straightahead. "Jie, what''s wrong with you?" YuanQiu pulled YuanHao and pointed to the field ofgreen weeds. "Do you know what this is?" YuanHao looked at the field of weeds that was higherthan ordinary grass. The stems and leaves were green and as beautiful andtranslucent as green jade. Every weed was exactly the same. They each had threestems and one leaf per stem. Every weed had three leaves. He was certain thathe had never seen such wild weeds. "Jie, what weed is this? It only has three leaves? It''s so weird." YuanHao plucked a piece and looked at it repeatedly. Chapter 20 part2 [TL Note: I have over 400+ posts, so I will NOT be doing navigation buttons. All avable chapters are in the under "Current Projects." If you like what I do, consider ! I''ll post bonus chapters!]
YuanQiu looked at the field of green and saw shinysilvers raining down on her. These were not ordinary weeds. It was a medicinalherb called Bisanxi that can be used as medicine or in cooking. As medicine,Bisanxi could lower blood sugar and soothe blood vessels. It worked fast withno side effects. Fresh Bisanxi could be used in medicinal cuisine.The food would not contain the taste of medicine. The leaves were soft andtender. For those in viges, it was very good medicinal cuisine. If cooked with flower essence, it could be used tobeautify and lose weight. She had read in her grandfather''s pharmacopoeia aboutBisanxi. But this herb was extinct in the 21stcentury. The air quality and polluted water in the 21st century didnot result in pure soil that could nt Bisanxi. She did not expect to find such arge field ofBisanxi outside the Ghost Forest. It really was money falling down from theheavens. "Silly brother, our good days are here. With such rge field of Bisanxi, we could live in an imprable house this winter."YuanQiu was very excited. She was even more excited than when she received herfirst schrship in her previous life. Seeing his jiejie so happy, YuanHao also followed along.The two siblings soon filled two baskets with Bisanxi. They were so tired that theirforeheads were filled with sweat. "YuanHao, let''s bathe before we return. So muchsweat. Our clothes are soaked through. Let''s dry them off too. There''s no onehere anyway." YuanQiu looked at the clear stream and was reluctant to leave. YuanHao dly agreed. "Jiejie, you bathe first.I''ll look out for you." Jiejie was a girl. She could not be seen taking a bathor her reputation would suffer. With YuanHao keeping watch, she was more reassured.The water was cool. Fortunately, it was noon and the sun was strong. So shewasn''t cold sitting in the water. She wiped her body over and over again. Sheeven washed her hair a few times. Only when she was fresh andfortable didshe get up. Chapter 21 The mountain wind was strong. The thin clothes soon dried in the strong sun and mountain wind. YuanQiu tidied herself up before fetching YuanHao to bathe. YuanHao was ten years old and knew to be shy. He didn¡¯t want to take off his clothes in front of YuanQiu. YuanQiu could only wait for him to throw his clothes over before taking them to wash. It was after Shen shi [3-5 p.m.] when the siblings took the baskets and went towards home. They didn¡¯t meet anyone along the way. When they arrived home, it was already dark, which meant it was even more improbable to meet anyone. In this poor vige, even lighting an oilmp was a luxury. Everyone would eat dinner early and sleep through the night. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would never light amp. The siblings were busy for a whole day. They carried two baskets of Bisanxi and walked for four hours. They were already tired and out of breath. Their backs were already chafed red by the ropes. Once they arrived home, the siblings rushed to take the baskets off their backs. They rested under the clear moonlight in the courtyard. After a break, YuanHao finally had the strength to speak. ¡°Jie, can this Bisanxi really fetch money? Will someone buy it?¡± YuanQiu gave him a firm look. ¡°Of course someone will want it. You will see. Come with me to town tomorrow. After we get a good price for the Bisanxi, I¡¯ll buy a piece of pork belly.¡± At the mention of pork belly, YuanHao¡¯s couldn¡¯t help but swallow some saliva. He couldn¡¯t remember how long it¡¯s been since he ate meat. Sometimes he dreamt about eating meat, but he woke up with his hand in his mouth. It was funny thinking about it. As for how much the Bisanxi should be sold for, YuanQiu had already thought it over on their way back from the Ghost Forest. She waspletely confident that she could sell them all and at a good price. After YuanHao went to sleep inside, YuanQiu moved the two baskets of Bisanxi into the house. She removed the hidden bamboo tube. It held a tube of ancient spring water. If the Bisanxi was left alone, they would certainly lose their vitality and wilt by tomorrow. Although it would not affect the efficacy, it would still give the buyer the excuse that the product looked inferior to knock the price down. With the ancient spring water, the Bisanxi would preserve their original fresh, green color, as if they were just pulled from the mud. After taking care of the Bisanxi, YuanQiu went to the backyard. There was a big vat there. It was already damaged, but fortunately, it did not affect water storage. This vat had helped the family a good deal. Previously the water used to water vegetables had been from this vat. The strange thing was that the previous host rarely fetched water. YuanHao was mostly responsible for carrying water back. A full vat was enough water for the siblings for a very long time. In YuanQiu¡¯s memory, there were few scenes of watering or fertilizing vegetables. Mostly, there were memories of picking weeds and raking soil in the garden. But these vegetables inexplicably grew tender and plump and very well. They grew even better than those vegetables in carefully tended gardens. Although YuanQiu was a transmigrated modern soul in an ancient body, she was not a superstitious person. She believed there was a rational exnation for all strange events. The reason this vegetable garden grew so well was not rted to the humans, but to thend itself. She took off her socks and shoes and walked barefoot in the courtyard. She stepped on the soil. The soil was moist and soft. It made her feet icy cold. It was veryfortable. Chapter 22 part1
She had only transmigrated here for five days. She was very sure that in these five days, neither she nor YuanHao watered the vegetables. It had not rained and the early autumn weather was very dry. In other ces, the wind blew and dust came along with it. But the ground in her backyard was very moist, as if a great deal of water had been poured over it. She walked barefoot around the courtyard again. Her steps held more purpose this time. She found that not all the areas in the courtyard were moist. In the far south, about ten square meters of ground was very moist. And it was the exact ce where the vegetables grew especially well. She suddenly thought of a news report that she had seen in her previous life. Someone dug an underground water outlet in his backyard. When she watched the news report, she felt it was very strange. How did he manage to dig an underground water outlet out and other people could not? She finally understood now. There was a reason for it. If the soil was not different from others'', why would he randomly dig without a reason? Since it was an underground river, there must be fish where there was water. And it must be countless fish. It was enough fish for her and YuanHao to live a good life. Just thinking about it made her very excited. But this matter could not be rushed. She needed to carefully n it out and certainly not let anyone find out before it was done. She returned to the vat and drew a basin of water to wash her hands and feet. She cleaned herself up before returning to the house. YuanHao must have been extremely tired. He was already deeply asleep. She gently pulled the quilt over YuanHao. She tooy on the other end of the wooden bed. She stared at the starry sky through the hole in the roof. She vowed that she must let YuanHao live a good life, let him eat meat, live in a good house, find a teacher to teach him reading and writing, and have him be a useful pir of society. Chapter 22 part2
A dreamless night passed. She was awoken by YuanHao''s exmation. "What happened?" She sat up. She grabbed YuanHao''s arm and her fingers naturally went to take his pulse. YuanHao pushed away YuanQiu''s hand. He pointed to his face and hers. "Jie, it seems like we have something strange on our faces. They''re ck." YuanQiu took a clearer look at YuanHao''s face. Indeed, as YuanHao said, his face had ayer of ck on it. She reached out to touch it. It felt like dirt that umted over a long time of not washing. But they took baths yesterday. Also, even if their bodies were dirty, their faces shouldn''t be that filthy. She suddenly thought of something. She lifted YuanHao''s cor. Indeed, his body also had thatyer of dirt over him. And her body also did. Her heart raced. The idea that shed by her mind returned. This strangeyer of dirt suddenly appeared on their bodies. Did it have something to do with the ancient spring water they drank yesterday? The siblings rushed to get water to wash up. They used three basins of water to wash their faces clean. "Jie, your face seems whiter." YuanHao stared stupidly at YuanQiu''s face. He felt that his jiejie became more beautiful. She no longer looked old and dark. Even the vige chief''s daughter Jiang Chunyan wasn''t as pretty as his jiejie. YuanQiu touched her face. It did feel softer and tenderer than before. Then she looked at YuanHao. His face was whiter and softer than before. Even his eyes were particrly lively. Her heart was extremely happy. She had been worrying how long it would take to whiten and beautify this face. She didn''t expect to run into such a happy event. Chapter 23 part1
"YuanHao, remember, you must never tell anyone about this. Only us siblings know about this. Do you understand?" YuanQiu seriously said. YuanHao nodded. "Jie, I understand." The siblings hurried to the river east of the vige to fetch water. They stopped only when the water vat was filled. In a short period of time, the vat of clear water became dirty water. Only after they used a whole vat of water did the siblings finally washed themselves clean. They were just thinking about filling up another vat of water when Uncle Zhang shouted from outside. YuanQiu could only give up the idea of fetching more water. She and YuanHao took the Bisanxi and left. Uncle Zhang brought an ox cart. Several big baskets were on the ox cart. There was arge basket of fresh fish and another one of dried fish. He was going to sell them at the market. YuanQiu looked at the basket of fresh fish and frowned. "Uncle Zhang, why don''t you use a wooden bucket to hold the fish?" Uncle Zhang didn''t understand. "Why do I need a wooden bucket? Don''t I put fish in the fish basket?" YuanQiu shook her head. "Uncle Zhang, Your fish were kept in a vat at home. They never left the water so they''re naturally fresh. But now that they left the water, wouldn''t they die immediately? If the fish died, would they sell for a good price? It''s fine if you carried a basket to the market. But now that you have an ox cart, why don''t you use a wooden bucket to hold the fish? With only a bit of water, wouldn''t the fish be sold when they''re still alive?" What did Uncle Zhang not understand now? He pped his head and smiled. "It really is so. I was foolish before. Thank you, YuanQiu, for reminding me. I will go get a wooden bucket." Uncle Zhang immediately drove the ox cart home. He quickly switched all the fish into a wooden bucket and added water. He grinned with pleasure looking at those originally lifeless fish bing lively again. Chapter 23 part2
He had sold fish countless times so he naturally knew the difference between the prices of a live fish versus a dead fish. YuanQiu deserved his thanks for reminding him. The ox cart was a few pieces of wood put together, with two wooden wheels. It wasn''t big. It could carry people and some goods. After putting the wooden bucket and two baskets on it, the space was almost filled up. Fortunately, the siblings were extremely thin. They sat down with some squeezing. Uncle Zhang was a rough person. He saw that the siblings'' faces had some changes, but he didn''t care too much. In the poor countryside, appearance wasn''t important. It was important to have strength and be able to work. The ox cart pulled the three people into the town. The tiny town was dozens of miles from Xipo Vige. Fortunately, they woke up early so they set off early so they did not miss the morning market. Uncle Zhang drove the ox cart to the town''s market where vegetables were sold. He first took the bucket of fresh fish off the ox cart. Then he put the two baskets of dried fish on top. Then he found out that the siblings'' baskets did not contain vegetables, but a never-before-seen green weed. He asked, "Why did you bring two baskets of weeds? Why didn''t you bring vegetables?" YuanQiu smiled mysteriously and said to Uncle Zhang, "Uncle, these are the vegetables we''re going to sell." In his life, Uncle Zhang had never seen this kind of vegetable. It looked just like a weed. But since YuanQiu said it was a vegetable, then it must be a vegetable. "Uncle, have you heard of medicinal cuisine?" YuanQiu asked. Uncle Zhang nodded. "Yes. Jufu Lou''s shopkeeper often buys vegetables here. I once heard him say that Jufu Lou has medicinal cuisine. The wealthy people in town like eating it. They said it is good for the body." YuanQiu knew that she didn''t make this trip in vain. She asked for directions to Jufu Lou and agreed on a time with Uncle Zhang when they would meet up. Then she pulled YuanHao away from the market and went towards Jufu Lou. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
