Ning Huan nodded and replied, "That's right. Mother has been here for so long, and I haven't cooked you a proper meal. Now that my hand is much better today, of course I have to cook you something nice to try."
Seeing her daughter, who had never lifted a finger before, now able to cook such a large meal, Mrs. Pang was very pleased.
At the same time, she felt a little sorry for her. If the Zhou family hadn't kicked Ning Huan's family out, her daughter wouldn't have had to learn to cook on her own.
Ning Liang, standing to the side, looked at the food on the table with some apprehension: "Is the food you made even edible? What if I finish eating and then you poison me to death?"
In Ning Liang's memory, the food this older sister cooked was always burnt black. Even if there were a couple of dishes that looked passable, they were still hard to swallow.
Ning Huan sometimes really couldn't help but want to give her younger brother a flick on the forehead, as Ning Liang always poured cold water on her when she was in a good mood.
Before Ning Huan could even open her mouth, the four little ones spoke up for her: "Uncle, if you don't dare to eat, then don't eat! My mom's cooking is so delicious right now. If you don't eat, there will be one less person to fight with us for it!"
"That's right, Uncle. It's a deal then, you're not allowed to eat today!"
The four little ones sat down and started eating, and Pang Shi and Ning Huan also sat down at the table.
Pang first served some tomato and meat soup to Zhou Jing'an: "Son-in-law, drink more of this soup, it's good for your health."
Only after Zhou Jing'an accepted the food did she pick up the dishes and eat them herself.
After taking just one bite, Pang looked at Ning Huan in surprise: "Huanhuan, did you really make this? This food is so delicious!"
As she spoke, Pang picked up another bite of food.
Ning Huan smiled and said, "I made it. Since it's delicious, Mother, please eat more."
Seeing everyone enjoying their meal so much, Ning Liang swallowed hard and asked Madam Pang, "Mother, are these dishes really delicious?"
Pang said with a smile, "It's delicious. Just trust your sister this once and come and try it."
Ning Liang took a bite with some skepticism, and his eyes widened instantly.
He couldn't believe that he used to only be able to cook dark, poisonous dishes, but now he could actually make such delicious food.
Although he was thinking this, his hands kept reaching for food.
Seeing this, the four little ones couldn't help but tease, "Uncle, didn't you say you weren't going to eat?"
"My uncle's just being stubborn. He said he wouldn't eat it, but now he's eating it better than any of us!"
Ning Liang was a little embarrassed: "You little devils, if you keep talking to me like that, see if I'll still take you guys to play with me tomorrow!"
Pang chimed in, "Alright, stop laughing at your little uncle."
Looking at Ning Huan eating silently to the side, Zhou Jing'an suddenly asked, "Did you use the prescription you wrote for Second Grandfather's family today?"
Ning Huan was taken aback by Zhou Jing'an's question. She then awkwardly replied, "Why are you asking this?"
Zhou Jing'an said calmly, "It is said that even if the fungal purpura poisoning is cured, it will leave considerable symptoms on the body. Will the medicine you prescribed also leave any symptoms?"
Ning Huan shook her head and said, "Of course not. The prescription I wrote can not only cure purpura, but it also won't leave any aftereffects. However..."
Thinking of this, Ning Huan felt a little disappointed: "Even if you kindly give someone a prescription, they might not appreciate it."
Zhou Jing'an immediately understood Ning Huan's meaning. It must be that his second grandfather's family hadn't accepted Ning Huan's favor and had gone to town to fetch a doctor.
Ning Liang could understand why Ning Huan was disappointed. He thought about how she had worked so hard to treat Tu Sheng that afternoon, only to find that Tu Sheng didn't trust her in the end.
Thinking of this, Ning Liang praised Pang Shi, saying, "Mother, you didn't see my sister today, she's amazing. She pricked that child a few times with a needle, and the child woke up in the blink of an eye!"
Upon hearing this, Pang asked in surprise, "Is it really that powerful?"
Ning Liang nodded: "I thought that child was going to die from the purpuric poison, but my sister actually saved him. You don't know, the child was vomiting black blood, it was terrifying!"
Upon hearing this, the four little ones exclaimed in surprise, and then said to Ning Huan, "Mommy, you're so amazing!"
Hearing Ning Liang boast like that, and with the four little ones praising her as well, Ning Huan's originally low mood instantly improved a lot.
Zhou Jing'an said calmly, "Because you never told everyone that you also know medicine, naturally no one dared to believe you. As time goes by, everyone will find out."
Hearing this, Ning Huan nodded: "I hope so."
But Madam Pang asked in confusion, "Huanhuan, I've wanted to ask you this for a while. Where did you learn your medical skills and how to collect herbs? I remember you didn't know how to do these things before."
Upon hearing this, Ning Huan choked on her food and forced it down.
She thought for a moment and then said with a smile, "Mother, when I was little, I met a wandering physician. You and Father weren't home at the time, so I gave him a bowl of rice. In return, he taught me some medical skills."
“I was too young to take it seriously at the time, but I did remember some of it. I forgot most of it as I grew up, until I bumped my head last time and suddenly remembered it.”
Upon hearing this, Pang nodded with some skepticism.
Zhou Jing'an found it somewhat amusing. Although this explanation was exactly the same as what Ning Huan had told him before, its credibility was extremely low.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell she was lying.
Zhou Jing'an has now accepted the idea of possession and is gradually believing that the body of Ning Huan in front of him contains someone else's soul.
Just as we finished dinner, we heard someone rushing in from the yard, calling out, "Is Aunt Ning here? Aunt Ning!"
Ning Huan rushed out after hearing the sound: "What is it?"
This was the boy who had come to call the village chief to see his second grandfather earlier that day. He said anxiously, "Auntie, could you please go to my second grandfather's house now to check on Tusheng? We took him to town this afternoon, but the doctors there all said they couldn't save someone who has been infected with purpura."
"Only one clinic examined him, and they said that Tusheng wouldn't live more than a couple of days and told us to come back and prepare for his funeral. Auntie, why don't you go and see Tusheng again!"
Ning Huan frowned. She had clearly detoxified Tu Sheng today, and even if there was still a small amount of poison in his body, it wouldn't be severe. How could a single clinic be unable to cure him?
Thinking of this, Ning Huan hurriedly called Ning Liang and, with the herbs and prescriptions she had prepared, went with the boy to her second grandfather's house.
