Madam Liu was very kind, and one could still vaguely see the fatigue from recovering from a serious illness.
Because of Lili's appearance, Old Madam Liu's expression brightened up. She leaned forward, took Lili's hand, and nodded repeatedly.
The more she looked at the child, the more she liked him.
This child looks like he's destined for good fortune!
"Good child, good child." Old Madam Liu pulled Lili to sit down beside her. Of all the words she wanted to say, she only said one sentence: "Good child, you are so thoughtful."
Having lived a whole life, how could she not know what was special about this?
How can a bed and a sachet possibly save a person's life?
There's probably some unspeakable secret involved.
As for what the secret was, she didn't care, nor did she want to know.
All she knew was that this little girl in front of her had saved her life!
Lili smiled and said, "Grandma Liu looks much better."
"It's all thanks to you, Lili. I've been bedridden for over twenty years, and now I can finally stop coughing all the time."
Lili sat upright next to Madam Liu: "Lili didn't actually do anything. It's all Grandma Liu's good fortune."
To be honest, Lili only gave a sachet; she hasn't even asked Doctor Sikong to treat Grandma Liu yet.
As for why Grandma Liu's health improved, it's probably because the herbs in the sachet were indeed good medicine.
As a result, Madam Liu nodded with an expression that said, "I understand."
Lili: "Huh?"
Lili was both amused and exasperated, but Old Madam Liu didn't give her a chance to speak: "Good child, Grandma knows that your father has achieved the top score in the provincial examination this time. Like father, like daughter! You saved Grandma, and Grandma will definitely have your Uncle Liu personally tutor your father so that he can achieve good results in next year's provincial examination!"
Lili waved her hand: "There's no need to go to such trouble."
"Then... what does Lili want?"
Lili chuckled: "There really is someone I need Uncle Liu's help with."

Shen Lao Er was working on his carpentry with great enthusiasm, but he guessed that Xia Ning had just received Li Li's letter at this time, and by the time her reply arrived, the autumn harvest would probably be almost here.
Before that, the Shen family had something even more important to do.
On this fine, sunny day, the Shen family held a banquet in the same square to celebrate Shen Laosan's achievement of winning first place in the imperial examination.
Wow, it's so lively!
As Li Li's personal bodyguard, Shen Jialuo stayed close to her every step of the way.
Shen Jialuo sat with Lili at the door, watching his brothers busily setting up tables in the square next door.
Today, Shen Laosan also changed into a light purple robe specially made by Yang Shi. To make it more festive, Shen Laopozi also specially bought two strings of firecrackers, waiting to set them off after everyone arrived.
When Shen Laosan passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, the villagers of Xinghua Village were eager to share in the joy, and they all arrived early in the morning carrying gifts.
The three sisters-in-law were busy in the kitchen, while Old Mrs. Shen and Old Mr. Shen greeted the visitors with smiles.
The Shen family prepared three jars of fine wine for the men who wanted to drink.
Someone came up to toast Shen Laosan, but Shen Laosan wasn't a good drinker, so Shen Laoda and Shen Laoer stayed by his side and drank for him.
The last time it was this lively was when the village celebrated the completion of the irrigation canal.
But later, because of the Li family's situation, the village was in a state of panic for a while.
Therefore, the wedding banquet held by the Shen family today can be described as exceptionally lively.
"If Father gets drunk today, I wonder if Mother will not let him in," Lili said with a smile.
Shen Jialuo was about to tell Lili about the time when her father accidentally drank too much and her mother made him sleep on the floor all night, when she caught a glimpse of several familiar figures approaching from the distance. They were members of the Yang family who had come from the village of Juren.
The Yang family has always kept a low profile, and they only came once, when Yang got married.
This time, there was really hope for Yang Ji's leg, and the Yang family was overjoyed. It also happened to coincide with Shen Laosan winning the championship, so they came over to celebrate. By the way, Old Master Yang also wanted to personally thank Doctor Sikong.
Old Master Yang and Old Madam Yang walked in front, followed by Guo Shi, who was pushing Yang Ji in a cart.
Upon seeing this, Shen Jialuo and Lili, the two little ones, immediately ran forward to help Guo Shi push.
The two greeted everyone in turn. Lili said, "Grandma, isn't Grandpa's leg still being treated? Why did he come over today?"
Yang Ji joked, "We're just here to join in the fun and congratulate your dad. What, you're not welcome?"
Shen Laosan had already walked over quickly: "How could that be? I couldn't be happier if my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents came."
Shen Laosan took the cart and had the two children help Grandpa Yang and Grandma Yang. He then slowly pushed Yang Ji to a seat and helped him sit at the main table.
Grandpa Yang nodded to himself.
As Lili watched Yang Ji lean halfway against Shen Laosan, then jump off the cart and hop down to sit, an idea suddenly popped into her head.
Why?
Why didn't she think of that?
You could ask your second uncle to get you a wheelchair!
This place may have chairs with wheels, but it certainly doesn't have professional wheelchairs!
Lili frowned and glared at herself, feeling disappointed in herself: "I should have thought of that sooner!"
She should have thought of a wheelchair when Doctor Sikong was seriously injured. Why didn't she think of that back then?
Lili stomped her foot heavily, startling Shen Jialuo, who was standing next to her. He asked, "Little sister, what's wrong?"
Lili shook her head: "It's nothing."
Lili searched for Shen Lao Er's figure in the crowd, eager to share her thoughts.
Seeing the little boy peeking around curiously, Grandpa Yang couldn't help but laugh: "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for my second uncle! Great-grandfather, wait for Lili, Lili will be back soon!"
Lili dashed off to Shen Lao Er and blurted out her thoughts.
With the help of his family, Shen Lao Er has already started making the fifth bed, and is just waiting for Xia Ning's letter to come so he can see what requests she has made so he can make detailed changes.
When Shen Lao Er heard what Li Li said, he thought it was called a wheelchair. Although it was a chair with wheels, it sounded much more complicated and had many more functions.
But Shen Lao Er liked to think about these things, and he immediately became interested and agreed. After all six beds were finished, he began to study them.
Lili left satisfied.
As soon as Lili returned, she saw Liu Wumo carrying two jugs of wine, looking radiant as he approached.
With his student winning first place and his mother's health improving, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Liu Wumo was extremely pleased with himself.
Lili was planning to take Doctor Sikong to the city tomorrow, and today was a good opportunity to tell Liu Wumo in advance.
Lili lifted her skirt and ran over, but stopped after a couple of steps.
Because she saw Liu Wumo holding the two jugs of wine, staring at Old Master Yang in shock.
