The little girl looked at Jiang Jiuniang with a mixture of fear and excitement in her eyes.

If it weren't for this beautiful lady's help, she would definitely have been sold by her father.

If this lady could cure the Zhang family's horse, she wouldn't have to become Zhang's concubine, nor would she have to be sold.

Jiang Jiuniang smiled kindly at her: "It's alright, you have a good younger brother."

Zhu Zi is a responsible person. If the siblings can maintain this relationship, their future will definitely get better and better.

As for their father, that's a different story.

The group returned to Zhu Zi's house, a small wooden cabin not far from the beach. Such a house was prone to dampness and was not comfortable to live in. Inside, there was a musty smell.

Jiang Jiuniang and her family frowned, said nothing, and simply followed Zhuzi to see the two sick horses.

It was clear at a glance that both horses were fine, but they were sick and unable to stand, lying on the ground panting heavily, as if they were about to die.

Jiang Jiuniang looked around and found a puddle of filth under the horse, clearly a symptom of diarrhea.

"You fed the horse croton?"

Zhu Zi was taken aback and quickly shook his head: "No! I'm worried that the horses will get sick, so I never feed them anything I don't recognize. They only eat the grass and leaves that they can usually eat."

Jiang Jiuniang nodded: "Then someone fed them croton seeds, and they got poisoned."

Zhu Zi's family was shocked. They had thought it was just an illness, which could be cured, but now it was poisoning, which meant there was no hope.

"Madam, is there any other way?"

Zhu Zi's mother looked at her anxiously, as if she were her lifeline.

Mingzhu stood to the side, saying nothing, but her clenched fists betrayed her nervousness.

Jiang Jiuniang didn't speak, but reached into her bosom and took out a handful of medicine, handing it to Zhu Zi and saying, "Divide this medicine into two portions and give it to the two horses."

Zhu Zi gratefully accepted the medicine and went forward to administer it to the two horses.

"This medicine can detoxify and stop diarrhea. They should be better tomorrow. Let them drink more water, and they will get better soon."

Jiang Jiuniang's words surprised Zhu Zi's family. They had only thought of giving it a try, but they didn't expect it to actually work.

"Madam, thank you so much! This is all our family's savings. It's not much, but please don't mind."

Zhu Zi's mother stuffed a tattered money bag into Jiang Jiu Niang's hand. Zhu Zi's father, who was standing nearby, was a little reluctant, but seeing his wife's resolute attitude, he ultimately said nothing.

Seeing the man's expression, Jiang Jiuniang naturally took the money bag and said with a smile, "Since you've accepted the money, I'll let you take a look too."

As he spoke, he took the woman's hand and began to carefully take her pulse.

Before the woman could react, Jiang Jiuniang said, "You have a lingering health problem from your previous childbirth. You went back to work before you were fully recovered, which caused overexertion and made you extremely weak. It's quite serious, so you need both dietary and medicinal supplements. I'll prescribe a formula for each, and you can follow it regularly."

Jiang Jiuniang's tone was very ordinary, as if she were saying that the weather was really nice today.

But Zhu Zi's family was stunned. They never expected her to hit the nail on the head, as if she knew the situation in advance.

But before that, his family didn't know her.

Ignoring the shocked family, Jiang Jiuniang took out paper and pen and began to write. She wrote two prescriptions, one for dietary supplements and one for medicinal supplements.

Zhu Zi's mother thought that the prescription Jiang Jiu Niang had written would be very expensive, but she didn't expect that it contained some very cheap and common medicinal materials, which were much cheaper than what she was currently taking.

Seeing her shocked expression, Jiang Jiuniang explained, "It doesn't necessarily have to be expensive medicine. We'll do it according to the actual situation so that you can take the medicine without affecting the family's situation, which will reduce the pressure."

The Zhu family had never encountered such a considerate attitude before, and they were extremely grateful. Even the middle-aged man who had been silent all along showed gratitude on his face.

"Thank you so much. If you don't mind, you can stay for a meal."

The man spoke up, saying that although there wasn't much food at home, there were some dried fish that could be used to make a soup, since the other person had helped him so much.

Jiang Jiuniang was not a tactless person. This family was already struggling financially, barely able to feed themselves. They had just given her all their money, and if the family were to stay and eat at their house now, they would be driving them to despair.

Besides, the Zhu family's tastes might not be what they like, so there's no need to make things difficult for them.

"No need. We caught a lot of fish and shrimp today, so we can eat them when we get back. We live at No. 6 Yangliu Lane in town. If the two horses are still not better by tomorrow, go there to find me. Since I've taken the money, I guarantee I will cure you."

After saying goodbye to Zhu Zi's family, Jiang Jiu Niang's family headed back. Gou'er said, "Mother, I thought you wouldn't take their money. Why did you take it again?"

That family was really poor. He gave them the money, but he didn't know how he would live after that. He couldn't understand why his mother wanted their money.

"Naturally, it's to let certain people know that I dare to take money and can get things done, and that I'm not the swindler he thinks I am, and that I wouldn't stoop so low as to cheat him out of a few coins."

She was referring to the middle-aged man. Although his attitude became much warmer in the end, Jiang Jiuniang still remembered his expression at the beginning.

It's just stopping him from selling his daughter, as if it's ruined some major plan for him.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had some genuine feelings for his wife, Jiang Jiuniang would have really wanted to drag him out and teach him a lesson.

The dog nodded as if it understood, seemingly believing that everything its mother did made sense.

The family went home, ate grilled seafood, then packed their things and went to bed.

Jiang Jiuniang was very confident in her medical skills and felt that there should be no further developments in this matter. The two horses were cured, and Zhu Zi's sister would not have to be sold. It was a win-win situation.

But to his surprise, on the third day at noon, someone knocked on the door. Lu Baichuan opened the door and saw Zhu standing outside, looking anxious and crying.

"Young master, please, you and your wife, help my sister again!"

Zhu Zi immediately knelt down before Lu Baichuan, tears streaming down his face.

Lu Baichuan frowned, disliking his habit of kneeling before everyone he met. He took two steps back and said, "Come in and let's talk."

At this moment, Jiang Jiuniang was swinging her daughter on the swing in the yard. When she saw Zhuzi come in, she thought the horse was still not well, so she sat up straight and asked, "Why did you come? Is the horse still not better?"

Even if it's not better, they should have come to us yesterday. Why are they here now?

Zhu Zi wiped away his tears and said, "The horse is cured, but Master Zhang doesn't want it anymore. He's not satisfied no matter what and insists that my sister be his concubine. Now he's brought people to my house to take my sister away. My mother has fainted from crying. Madam, I know this has nothing to do with you, but I really don't know who to beg for help. Please help my sister! I'm willing to sell myself to you and be your slave for the rest of my life!"
