"Mom, I sold five low-grade spirit stones to that sister..."
"What? How could those broken manuals be worth five low-grade spirit stones? You disobedient girl, how could you do such a deceptive thing? Return the spirit stones to them immediately..."
The woman spoke hurriedly due to her excitement, and after she finished speaking she started coughing violently.
Lai Siyu couldn't help but walk into the backyard. The backyard was not big, with only three rooms and a kitchen. There was a patio in the middle of the backyard with a hibiscus tree planted in it. It was spring now, and hibiscus of various colors were blooming on the branches.
"Madam, those books on martial arts are exactly what I need, so they are worth the money for me." Lai Siyu stood at the door and said to the woman lying on the bed.
The woman looked sick, but judging from her facial features, she must have been a beautiful woman before she got sick.
"Mom, this is the sister who bought all my skills manuals." The little girl wiped away her tears and introduced Lai Siyu to her mother. "Sister, I'm sorry, I sold it to you at a high price because I was anxious to get my mother treated. But sister, if you need any seeds later, no matter how many, as long as we have them, we will give them to you!"
"Miss, those skills manuals are not jade slips, even with the seeds, they are not worth five spirit stones. Miss, you are kind-hearted, but we can't earn your spirit stones against our conscience... cough cough~..." The woman coughed again as she spoke.
"Madam, can I help you take a look?" Lai Siyu asked. It was not that she was a saint, but she was thinking of her deceased mother. If she could help the mother and daughter, perhaps her deceased mother would be happy.
The little girl was immediately happy when she heard Lai Siyu say that. "Of course, thank you, sister!"
The woman waved her hands weakly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, young lady, but my illness...it's useless to see a doctor..."
"Mom..." The little girl looked at the woman sadly, her big eyes filled with tears and bean-sized tears rolled down one after another.
Lai Siyu didn't say much. She pulled the woman's hand, held her pulse point, and carefully controlled a trace of spiritual power to flow through her meridians.
After a while, Lai Siyu withdrew her hand. This woman was not sick, but injured!
"Madam, you are injured, not sick!"
"Sister, you are right, my mother was beaten!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" the woman said. "Girl, just call me Qiu Niang. Don't listen to me. We're so sorry for causing you so much trouble." Qiu Niang was afraid Dong'er would tell her about the past, so she stopped her. The girl who had injured her was powerful and not someone they could mess with. This kind girl had already helped them, so they couldn't cause her any trouble.
Lai Siyu's mind raced. Qiu Niang's injuries were similar to the ones she'd sustained while climbing the Azure Cloud Ladder—her meridians were damaged. Her meridians had been repaired by the pool water in the space, so surely that water could help Qiu Niang, too.
However, the pool water was her secret, and the effect was so abnormal that she didn't dare to use it rashly. But what if it was diluted? Diluted pool water would definitely work, but the effect would definitely be affected. However, wasn't a slightly worse effect exactly what she wanted?
"Dong'er, I can cure your mother's injury!" Lai Siyu pulled the little girl over and said to her seriously.
Dong'er heard this and knelt down with a plop. "Sister, if you can save my mother, I will serve you as your slave for the rest of my life!"
Lai Siyu pulled Dong'er up and said to her with a smile, "Who made you a slave, silly girl?"
"Miss, Dong'er is right. My family is already broke and I don't have any spirit stones to pay for your medicine. I know my injuries very well. Even if I sell this shop, it won't be enough.
If the young lady doesn't mind, I will use this shop as medicine money for her. When Qiu Niang recovers, I will serve her from now on."
Seeing that the mother and daughter insisted, Lai Siyu did not back down. The qualities of these two mother and daughter were exactly what she needed and valued.
"Okay, I'll take over this shop, but I don't have time to take care of it. You and your daughter will help me take care of it. You can continue to live in this yard and don't have to think about moving. Dong'er, go and boil some hot water and help your mother bathe later."
After saying that, Lai Siyu instructed Dong'er to work.
The water was soon boiled. In the bathroom, Lai Siyu took advantage of Dong'er going to help her mother to return to the space, take out a small bottle of pool water and pour it into the bathtub. When Dong'er helped her mother over, she pretended to crush a Qi Gathering Pill and mixed it into the water.
In the eyes of Dong'er and her daughter, they only knew that Lai Siyu had put a pill in it, but they had no idea what kind of pill it was.
Qiu Niang soaked in the tub for half an hour, leaving wrinkles on her hands and feet. However, after the bath, her appearance had lessened by three points, and her body was no longer as weak as before.
Qiu Niang pulled Dong'er, and the mother and daughter knelt down in front of Lai Siyu with excited expressions. Lai Siyu hurriedly held them back.
"Qiuniang, you must insist on taking a hot spring bath for the next few days. Your illness will be cured within seven days!"
"Thank you so much, young lady. I have no way to repay your kindness. I can only serve you wholeheartedly after I recover."
"Thank you, sister. My mother and I will serve you together!"
Lai Siyu rubbed Dong'er's head and said, "You should take care of your mother first. Why don't you help her to rest and make some porridge for her."
Dong'er's family really had a lot of seeds as she said. Not only that, Dong'er also gave Lai Siyu a spiritual medicine book. Although it was not a jade slip, the content inside was the same as the jade slips sold for more than ten spirit stones outside.
Lai Siyu put the "Spiritual Medicine Catalog" and hundreds of spiritual medicines and spiritual value seeds into the storage bag, then said to Dong'er, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I don't have the pills to treat your mother on me, but don't worry, I'll have my brother come here tomorrow to get them for you. From now on, my brother will come here often until the shop reopens..."
"Well, Dong'er will take good care of the young master, don't worry, sister!" The little girl promised seriously.
"What young master? We don't like that. My brother's name is just Yu. You can call him Brother Yu from now on."
Lai Siyu came out of Dong'er's house and went to several shops. She bought some jade boxes for spiritual medicine, jade shovels for digging spiritual medicine, and some farming tools.
The jade boxes were expensive, five low-grade spirit stones each, which almost broke Lai Siyu's heart. However, she still gritted her teeth and bought fifty of them. She felt that the number of two hundred and fifty was unpleasant, so she spent an hour to bargain the price down to two hundred and forty-five low-grade spirit stones.
Fortunately, she did not pay the spirit stones for selling the pig that day, otherwise she would have to sigh and forget about the box now.
After she had arranged everything, before noon, she went to the butcher Liu's shop again. She had agreed to make pig's trotter soup for Liu Mingyuan, so she had to go buy some pig's trotters.
Lai Siyu came out of Liu's butcher shop with a smile on her face. She bought a pair of pig's trotters, and the owner also gave her a pig's head, offal, blood sausage, liver and kidney as a gift...
This guy came back with a full load!
