Jiang Shuyue looked down at the ground and saw several potatoes scattered in the soil.
Her eyes widened in astonishment; the output was truly staggering.
She simply rolled up her sleeves, turned around, grabbed a hoe, and pulled up a large patch of potatoes in one go.
Looking at the mountain of potatoes, Jiang Shuyue was truly exhausted.
At that moment, she desperately wished someone could enter her space and help her with her work.
This idea is just a thought; it's best not to make a fuss about this absurd thing.
After washing up, I dragged my tired body out of the space and back to bed.
In the south wing, Aunt Su was thinking about how Jiang Shuyue had borrowed a large sum of money to open a clinic.
Her courage was something many men couldn't match, and Aunt Su both admired and worried about her.
"My dear wife, it's getting late, go to sleep!" Su Huai-ren prepared his writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and approached the bedside, only to see his wife looking at him with a worried expression.
"Old man, what kind of family do you think Yue'er comes from?"
Jiang Shuyue never mentioned her parents to them, and they never asked.
She has an elegant demeanor and is accompanied by a maid, so she must come from a good family.
What Aunt Su couldn't understand was that even if her husband died, her parents shouldn't have abandoned her, especially since she was such an outstanding daughter.
Su Huai-ren glared at his wife: "There might be some changes in that child's family. Even if she doesn't say, you're not allowed to mention it. Don't make the child feel bad."
"My dear husband, how could I not understand? I'm just feeling sorry for her."
Aunt Su sighed and said, "Since she came into our lives, we have never had to worry about food and clothing. This child is a blessing from God. I love her so much."
Su Huai-ren took off his outer clothes and got into bed.
“Honey, our son is getting on in years, and our daughter has come of age. We have no fixed abode, and we don’t know when we’ll be able to find a wife for our son.”
Su Huai-ren blew out the candle: "Go to sleep. Now is not the time to talk about this. We can hire a matchmaker when we have our own place to live."
Su Huai-ren was anxious about his children's marriages, but he knew there was no use in being anxious.
The next day.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Jishetang opened for business.
There are two tables for consultations in the clinic.
Lin Miaoshou sat at the table, on which was a pulse pillow.
Jiang Shuyue, wearing a veil, sat at another table, on which sat a first-aid kit.
There was only a stethoscope inside; she didn't dare take out too many instruments.
Su Jin stood outside the door, cupped his hands to the onlookers, and said, "Jishetang is opening today. Please spread the word. As the name suggests, Jishetang is dedicated to helping people and saving lives."
Someone asked with a puzzled look, "Does Jishetang not charge money for medical treatment?"
Su Jin was not annoyed and patiently explained: "As everyone knows, some places have experienced drought this year, and many disaster victims have come to Laiyang City. If disaster victims come for treatment, Jishetang will charge a consultation fee at its discretion."
Jiang Shuyue told them about this decision this morning.
As soon as Su Jin finished speaking, he was met with a round of praise from everyone.
"This Jishetang is really good. They help people and save lives. They are rare and good doctors."
Not long after the news spread, several people with accents from other places came to the clinic. Jiang Shuyue knew at a glance that they were refugees.
Several people had symptoms including sneezing and runny nose.
Lin Miaoshou diagnosed it as typhoid fever.
Seeing that there weren't many patients, Jiang Shuyue took the prescription and started dispensing the medicine for them.
Jiang Shuyue handed the medicine to the patient: "Today is our opening day, all consultation fees are waived."
Su Huai Ren: "..."
This child is so kind.
Seeing the patient, dressed in coarse cloth, expressing his gratitude profusely, Su Huai-ren was deeply moved.
If those in power had such a broad mind, why would the people of Wanling Kingdom have to suffer such hardship and wander to Yannan?
In the afternoon, more than ten more refugees arrived.
Jiang Shuyue judged their identities from their clothing and accents; they were not refugees, so she would charge them the consultation fee as usual.
There weren't many patients who came for treatment that day, and when the accounts were tallied in the evening, the total was only a little over one hundred coins.
"Moon Girl, today's consultation fee isn't even enough to cover the cost of the medicine. Once the clinic's reputation is recognized by everyone, don't hesitate to treat people in fine clothes who come for treatment."
Lin Miaoshou used to call her Miss Jiang, but after going through so much together, they were like family. He changed his address to Yueyatou.
Jiang Shuyue nodded: "Uncle Lin and I are thinking the same thing: earn the money we should earn and do what we can do."
Aunt Su didn't know anything about the clinic, but when she heard that patients were coming for treatment, she believed that given time, with Jiang Shuyue's medical skills, more and more people would come to seek her help.
Seeing that Jiang Shuyue had been busy all day, Qiuju took Suisui to watch Shuisheng practice his skills.
Lin Miaoshou was a good master. He arranged for Shuisheng to practice the basics of lightness skills in the morning and to practice throwing hidden weapons after dinner.
Jiang Shuyue thought that she was already too busy with the affairs of the clinic, and there were some things that she couldn't ask Su Jin to do.
The first person that came to mind was Nangong Zeyue.
Seeing that everyone was busy with their own things, Jiang Shuyue quickly went out the door.
When she arrived on the street, there were not many pedestrians left, so she walked quickly toward the Canglan Inn.
In front of the inn, a large red lantern hung high above the inn's gate. When a servant saw Jiang Shuyue approaching, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
"Does the young lady need a room at an inn?"
Jiang Shuyue stopped and glanced into the inn.
"Excuse me, has Young Master Nangong returned to the inn?"
The servant boy asked with a beaming smile, "Are you referring to Nangong Zeyue, young lady?"
Jiang Shuyue nodded.
"Is there anything you need from him, young lady? Young Master Nangong is often away from home. If he returns, I will certainly pass on the message."
Nangong Zeyue stayed at the inn the longest, and everyone there, from the owner to the servants feeding the monkeys, knew him.
Jiang Shuyue wore a veil, so the servant could not see her true face.
A pair of willow-leaf eyebrows peeked out from above Jiang Shuyue's veil, her bright eyes sparkling with life, and a bright red beauty mark.
The servant thought to himself, "Nangong Zeyue is so lucky."
Jiang Shuyue only saw the servant smiling warmly and had no idea that he was making up couples in his mind.
She nodded slightly: "Thank you. If Young Master Nangong returns, just tell him that an old friend came looking for him, and he will understand."
How could Jiang Shuyue allow outsiders to relay what she had asked Nangong Zeyue to do?
Jiang Shuyue believed that Nangong Zeyue knew she had been there and would definitely go to the clinic to find her.
Jiang Shuyue thought that since no one was in the clinic, she would go and get some medicinal herbs.
She handled all the procurement of medicinal herbs herself, and no one else would know if there were extra herbs.
Once inside the clinic, she casually lowered the door latch.
She went into the back storeroom and found several cloth bags.
With a thought, the bag swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She filled every cloth bag she could with medicinal herbs, as there were many typhoid patients this season.
It contains more than ten kinds of medicinal materials, including Schizonepeta, Saposhnikovia, Bupleurum, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Glycyrrhiza, and Cinnamomum cassia.
After leaving the storeroom, Jiang Shuyue went to the medicine cabinet and put in several more precious medicinal herbs.
Thinking that she would be undisturbed here, she slipped into the space.
this……
The scene inside the space stunned her once again.
