"Alright, I'll take you to the county government office later to transfer your household registration, so that your dead father won't cause any more trouble later. Also, I'll take you to the clinic to check your injuries later."

Yan Zhiyu quickly shook his head.

"Auntie, it's alright. It's just a superficial injury. It will be fine in a few days. There's no need to waste money going to the clinic."

"I have to go." Yan Xia wasn't really there to treat the injury on her face, but rather to have the doctor take her pulse.

Check if she is pregnant.

After all, she had slept with Wang Laizi, and there were no contraceptive methods in ancient times.

If she is pregnant, it depends on whether she is willing to have an abortion.

If it were Yan Xia, she would never want a child with this kind of gene, even if it meant death.

Even after being born, I found it disgusting.

But Xiaoyu isn't her daughter either.

It's none of her business.

Since she's pregnant, it's impossible to assign her a heavy workload, so let's just treat this as a pre-work check-up.

It's like getting an ancient "health certificate".

"Alright, I'll do whatever Auntie says." Yan Zhiyu wasn't sure about Yan Xia's personality, but seeing her firm tone, he didn't dare to refuse anymore.

After asking the questions, the two left the house.

After having breakfast with the grandfather and grandson, we headed to the county government office.

With Zuo Li around, changing one's household registration will only take half an hour.

After leaving the government office, the three went to a clinic.

Yan Xia secretly asked the doctor to examine her to see if she was pregnant, while outwardly she only asked the doctor to check her external injuries.

The doctor was used to seeing the secrets of wealthy families.

You'll understand instantly.

"You have blood stasis in your abdomen, but the injury on your face is not a problem. If you are concerned about your appearance, I will prescribe a jar of anti-hemorrhoid ointment for you to apply once in the morning and once in the evening. However, you must take medicine for the injury in your abdomen, otherwise it will be difficult to heal."

The doctor looked at Yan Xia.

Let's wait for her to speak, since she looks like the person in charge, and might even be the master of this injured girl.

"Open them up, open the ointment, open the drink, open everything." Yan Xia wouldn't refuse this amount of money.

"Alright, let me write it down." The doctor walked to the counter, laid out the paper, and placed a brush on the inkstone. It was already dipped in ink and had probably been used for a long time. He quickly wrote two lines of text.

He blew on it a few times and handed it to Yan Xia.

"Please see, this prescription will cure you in seven days. You can get the medicine at our clinic or buy it at other pharmacies."

Yan Xia took the prescription, which listed several kinds of medicinal herbs, including licorice, astragalus, atractylodes macrocephala, coptis chinensis, belamcanda chinensis, angelica sinensis, and so on.

Just the sight of Coptis chinensis alone made Yan Xia grin.

Just thinking about it makes me feel miserable.

"Just get it at your clinic. I'll pay you all at once, including the ointment and the consultation fee."

"Okay, please come to the counter with me."

"Um."

Yan Xia followed the doctor to the counter.

"That young lady is not pregnant." This sentence was so quiet that only the two of them could hear it.

"Thank you." Yan Xia paid the bill.

He took the medicine packet from the pharmacy clerk and left with Xiaoyu and her adoptive father.

The three of them did not go back, but instead went shopping.

Yan Xia was in charge of buying, Xiao Yu was in charge of being the "model", and Yan Hecheng was in charge of carrying the bags.

"Auntie, that's enough. Two sets are enough. I have another set of clothes to change into. There's really no need to buy any more."

Xiao Yu grabbed Yan Xia's hand as she was about to pay.

His head was shaking like a rattle drum.

“If you wear those clothes out, people will think I’m mistreating you. When we send you on a business trip to Jiangnan County, you won’t just represent yourself, but our Yan’s Pastry Shop. We can’t let our shop down, understand?”

Hearing this, Xiaoyu let go.

No more polite refusal.

"Manager Xu, bring a few more sets of undergarments for young ladies, something soft and comfortable."

The poor people here don't wear underwear.

The man works while swaying his testicles, and walks with his legs in neutral.

The same goes for women; when they have their period, they only tie on a piece of cloth, which has been reused for many years.

This is commonly known as menstrual blood.

After all, the clothes had been patched and patched again.

There's no spare fabric to make underwear.

"Alright, Manager Yan, that'll be six taels of silver in total."

Manager Xu was a regular customer of Yan's Pastry Shop.

Yan Xia took three sets of embroidered silk clothes, plus three sets of underwear.

This price is incredibly cheap.

It's at least 60% off.

"Manager Xu, I haven't seen you at the pastry shop these past few days. You must come and sit down tomorrow. I'll save you a good seat on the second floor. There are a few more flavors of ice jelly now, you must try them."

"Haha, since Manager Yan has said so, I must go and try it. I've been a bit busy these past few days, so I haven't had time to go. See you tomorrow! Take care!"

Merchants typically engage in this back-and-forth exchange.

It's all about human relationships.

Everything was purchased.

Yan Xia asked her adoptive father to take Xiao Yu back to the house first, so that she could wash up and change into new clothes.

Let them familiarize themselves with the surroundings. As for where to stay, the courtyard is quite large, enough to accommodate dozens of people, so Xiaoyu and Yan Hecheng stayed there.

She herself went to help out at the shop.

Business is exceptionally good in the summer; the second floor is packed every day, and sometimes we have to add extra tables.

"Jin Fu, tomorrow when Manager Xu from the clothing shop comes, bring him two bowls of the new flavor of ice jelly, and another bowl of mochi balls and double-skin milk pudding. Remember, they all have to be chilled, as Manager Xu is afraid of the heat. Also, reserve the best seat by the window on the second floor for him."

"Okay, Mom, I'll write it down in my notebook."

There's a lot going on at the shop; if I forget something, it could cause a major problem.

Jin Fu developed a good habit: he prepared a special notebook and would write down important matters in it using charcoal.
