After examining the three children, Dr. Liu's gaze fell on Su Jiaoniang.

"Give me your hand!" Doctor Liu said.

Su Jiaoniang put her hands behind her back and slowly took a step back.

What's going on here? She's supposed to be helping the children recover, so why is she taking their pulse?

Thinking about the days the original owner of this body spent in the Lu family, Su Jiaoniang felt that whether or not the pulse was taken, it was all the same.

"You can worry about the children. I'm an adult, don't I know my own body?" Su Jiaoniang said with a smile.

Doctor Liu stared at Su Jiaoniang's face. She had such a beautiful face, but she just didn't take care of it. The weather had made her face a little rough. If she had taken better care of herself, she could probably make a living off her looks.

Thinking of Su Jiaoniang's strength, Doctor Liu suppressed his inner grumbling and withdrew his hand: "You don't know what you're doing. The child is still young. A little bit of malnutrition can be remedied with some good food. But you, an adult, have to take medicine to get better."

Su Jiaoniang met the gazes of the three children who had moved closer to her; they were staring at her!

Su Jiaoniang's lips twitched. How could an adult let a child worry about her?

Lu Futu watched as Su Jiaoniang slowly moved towards Doctor Liu's side: "Is my mother unwell?"

"You're not getting enough to eat or wear. If it weren't for the recent improvement in your diet, you would probably be long gone. Don't take yourself for granted. Also, take some ginseng. Soak the ginseng rootlets in wine every day and drink a cup every night. It'll be good for your health." Doctor Liu said to Su Jiaoniang. Xiao Futu, who was standing nearby, frowned when he heard this.

It sounds like a serious matter, requiring both medicinal wine and medication.

A slight lump formed in his throat. He didn't want his family to be unwell, so he looked at Xiaoya and Changsheng and said, "You two need to learn to support yourselves starting in two days. Don't worry your mother."

After the child finished speaking, he found a corner and stood quietly.

His gaze never left Su Jiaoniang.

The little girl paused for a moment, then slowly moved towards Su Jiaoniang: "Mother, I'll take care of you! Don't die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little guy burst into tears, hiccuping as he cried, and no one could console him.

The way she looked made it seem like Su Jiaoniang was half-dead.

To feel her children weeping at her grave before she even died—only Su Jiaoniang could enjoy such a privilege. Her lips twitched, and she glared fiercely at Doctor Liu. What good was it to tell the children these things, except to make them worry and be afraid?

She's an adult in the family; how can someone else be responsible for supporting the family?

"Do you have a way to avoid delaying important matters?" Su Jiaoniang asked.

Taking care of her health is the most important thing and can't be delayed, but making money is also a big deal, and she still needs to arrange for her child's schooling.

As a responsible mother, I must ensure that my child receives compulsory education.

"Of course, but they're a little pricey." Dr. Liu rubbed his fingers together.

With money, you can access good medicine and improve your health while continuing your life as usual.

Su Jiaoniang said with a pained expression, "Just prescribe the medicine. Money can be spent and then come back. Health is the foundation of everything."

Doctor Liu happily wrote down the prescription. Su Jiaoniang picked up the prescription and glanced at it. Sure enough, it was quite expensive, containing ginseng, atractylodes macrocephala, rehmannia, and angelica sinensis, which had to be decocted and taken every day.

It would take at least six months.

Each dose of medicine costs two qian of silver, and at least six taels of silver a month. In six months, she would spend forty taels of silver on herself, which suddenly increased her pressure.

Su Jiaoniang looked at Doctor Liu with a hint of resentment.

She can't earn that much money from cold noodles and cakes yet.

Dr. Liu remained calm and unhurried. Su Jiaoniang's gaze had no effect on him. He glanced at Xiao Changsheng eating his ice bowl, then his gaze fell on the ice-stirring machine.

"This stuff is great! It looks so rare, so this is how shaved ice is made!" Doctor Liu's praise and exclamations were endless. When someone praises something for no apparent reason, besides genuine praise, there's only one other reason...

He wants it!

But he's too proud to say it directly!

Let you figure it out yourself, and then give it to them!

What could Su Jiaoniang do when she encountered such a person? She said, "If you like it, then take it with you. In any case, you can find me the method for making it, and I'll make another one."

Having achieved his goal, Dr. Liu chuckled and left with the machine.

He's getting old and should be taking care of his health, but the smoothie was just too delicious.

After glancing at the shaved ice equipment that Doctor Liu had taken away, Su Jiaoniang comforted the children at home and repeatedly assured them that he would get her medicine to treat her before she had a chance to go out.

Taking care of her health costs money, and since she knew she would have to spend money, she needed to work harder to earn it. She headed towards Zhang the blacksmith's house.

She ordered a few more razor blades and headed to the carpenter's house in the next village. The small bowls she used to sell shaved ice were brought from home; she didn't have many, and washing the bowls would take too much time and delay her earnings.

We should order more bowls specifically for making smoothies.

From now on, customers who buy shaved ice can take the bowl with them, and the price can be increased slightly by one coin. If regular customers bring their own wooden bowls when buying shaved ice, they can be charged one coin less. If someone doesn't like it after eating it once, they can bring the bowl back to her and get a one-coin refund. A bowl of shaved ice at four coins seems more expensive now.

But those who want to eat it won't be stingy with a penny, and they even think they can take the bowl with them so they don't have to wait back and forth and save time, since ice is a precious thing.

The cold skin noodles business can be expanded; we can't just stick to Cai's style, we can also make cakes.

These initiatives all need to be promoted.

She has no shortage of skills; what she lacks is suitable partners.

Who could she cooperate with? Su Jiaoniang was troubled again.
