On the night before Liu Sixi's apprenticeship ended, Liu Sixi thought of the traditional Chinese medicine book in his space, so he took it out and looked at it.
Aside from some herbal pictures, he couldn't understand the other prescriptions and remedies.
This is different from martial arts manuals; it's mostly written in modern language.
Liu Si wanted to give it to his fifth brother, but would his fifth brother be able to understand it? His fifth brother had never even been to school.
But Liu Sisi had no use for the book, so she took it to Liu Sixi's room and gave it to him.
When Liu Sisi handed the book over, the text on it had already automatically changed from modern characters to the characters of the Tianlong Kingdom.
When Liu Sixi opened the book to look at it, Liu Sisi also leaned over to look, her eyes filled with surprise, "This? It's changed?"
Liu Sixi didn't see her expression, but simply asked, "Sister, did the snake fairy give this to you?"
"Yes, Fifth Brother, can you understand it?" Liu Sisi asked.
"I can't understand it, but my master said he would teach me to read," Liu Sixi said, holding the medical book with great interest.
He then said solemnly, "Sister, thank you. Our family is able to live such a good life all thanks to you. Don't worry, I will definitely study hard."
"I want to be my sister's strong support. Only when our family is strong will my sister not be bullied after she gets married."
“Yes, I believe in Fifth Brother,” Liu Sisi nodded vigorously.
"Don't show this medical book to Grandpa Jiang for now! You can take it out later when you have a reason."
"Yes, Fifth Brother understands."
Wu and Liu Dashi were somewhat reluctant to see their fifth son off. Medicine King Valley was quite far away, unlike Liu Siqiang and the others who could get home quickly from the academy. It would probably be difficult for them to see their fifth son again in the future.
A few days later, when they arrived in town, Ruan Xicheng said goodbye to Liu Sisi.
"Thank you for taking me in these past few days, Miss Sisi. I will go out and make my own way in the world before I return to repay your kindness."
After saying that, he walked away gracefully.
Liu Sisi didn't take his words to heart. It's hard enough for a ten-year-old child to survive in this kind of world, let alone make a name for himself. If it weren't for her space and system, she wouldn't be living such a good life.
But everyone has their own ambitions, so there's no point in saying more.
She prepared a package for Ruan Xicheng and gave him 20 taels of silver so that he would have some travel expenses on his journey.
Ruan Xicheng never spoke of his background, and Liu Sisi didn't know where he was going either; she just hoped he would be safe.
Recently, Liu Sisi added a snack to her shop called grilled cold noodles, but it's limited to 50 servings a day.
This is also from her personal supermarket; she can't replicate it herself, so it's only available in limited quantities.
The shop is doing well, and the demand for vegetables is increasing. The space we have is no longer enough, so we have to buy them from elsewhere. Since we have to buy them, it's best to go back to Tianshan Village to buy them.
After closing his shop and returning to the village, Liu Dashi went to Zhou Lizheng's house and asked him to inquire if anyone in the village had vegetables to sell, such as cucumbers, radishes, and all sorts of vegetables.
Basically, any shop can use it. It costs one coin per pound. You can buy some from whoever has it and take it back to your shop.
"Uncle Zhou, I'm here again. I have something to trouble you with." Liu Dashi was carrying a piece of meat, a jar of pickled vegetables, and a basket of eggs.
"Da Shi is here!" Song Shi couldn't stop smiling when she saw Liu Da Shi. He always brought things for her family, so of course she was happy.
Where is Uncle?
"Your uncle went to Li Ergou's house. The villagers said that Li Ergou was going to sell Li Guifen to an old man as his wife. The girl didn't want to, so she took a knife and chopped up Li Ergou's father while he was sleeping. They don't know what he looks like now. Your uncle went to check on him."
Song told Liu Dashi about Li Ergou's affair.
"Sigh, that Li Ergou is really not human. That child is only 9 years old, and he wants to marry him off to an old man."
"Li Guifen is ruthless enough to actually dare to kill her father. This matter may be quite difficult for Uncle to handle."
"Alright, then I'll be going now, Auntie. We'll talk again when Uncle has time." Liu Dashi said and left. He headed towards the old house, and before he even got inside, Liu Yuanshan came out of the house.
"Da Shi! You're here!" Liu Yuanshan was extremely enthusiastic because Liu Da Shi would occasionally give him a tael of silver when he came back.
Moreover, he was told that this was his retirement money, and as long as he helped keep Old Wang and his two younger brothers from causing trouble at the shop and from causing trouble for Liu Dashi's family, he would continue to give him money in the future, and would give him an extra tael during festivals.
But if he gives money to his second and third sons, he won't give them any more in the future.
Although Liu Yuanshan used to dote on his second and third sons, that was when everyone was poor. Now that his eldest son is doing well, he immediately only listens to his eldest son.
So during this period, when Old Wang and her two sons wanted to cause trouble at the shop, he suppressed them all.
In just a month or so, the old man had already amassed eight taels of silver. Now, he found his eldest son pleasing to the eye no matter what. He realized that only his eldest son resembled him and was the most handsome.
"Okay, Dad, I won't go in. I'll save your retirement money for you and make sure the second and third sons don't see it. I'm leaving now."
"Okay, Father understands." Liu Yuanshan stuffed the silver into his sleeve and went inside as if nothing had happened.
Li Guifen's home was surrounded by villagers from Tianshan Village.
She slashed Li Ergou's leg twice and his shoulder once. Fortunately, the wounds were not deep, and Doctor Li had already stopped the bleeding. Otherwise, he would have died from blood loss long ago.
When Yang saw Li Guifen stabbing her own father with a knife, Yang ordered her two sons to beat her half to death.
The clan chief and the village head realized the situation was too serious, so they discussed it and decided to report it to the authorities for handling. Coincidentally, the newly appointed county magistrate was also scheduled to take office the next day.
But Li Ergou refused to let anyone report it to the authorities, saying it was his own family matter and he wouldn't pursue Li Guifen's mistake.
He said he had gone too far, and knelt on the ground crying uncontrollably, looking like an old father admitting his mistake. For a moment, the village head and the clan chief couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth or not.
“Although Guifen has done something very unfilial, you have also gone too far. She is only 9 years old and you want to marry her off to that old man in his 60s. How could she agree to that? Since you are willing to sincerely repent, then treat the child well and don’t do anything to damage the reputation of our village.”
The old clan chief spoke earnestly to Li Ergou.
