The shopkeeper, Liu, took it; it was a strangely shaped box of medicine. "What's this?" he asked.
Xiao Youran stepped forward, pointed to the words on the medicine box, and said to her, "It's penicillin."
Manager Liu found it hard to believe. In such a short time, these brother and sister had produced this strange medicine? No need to write a prescription, or even get the herbs ready to be prepared?
She suppressed her anger and asked, "Is this for eating or for use?"
Xiao Youran took the medicine box down and pointed to a line of text on it, saying to her, "Oral administration, three times a day, four tablets each time."
She thought for a moment, "This medicine needs to be taken for three months. Come back to the cloth shop to find us after you finish this box."
Manager Liu was still skeptical. "You're not lying to me?"
Jiang Youchen pulled his younger sister behind him, "Would you get candy if I lied to you?"
Xiao Youran said, "If you don't believe me, give him the medicine for three days and see if his condition improves. Anyway, the cloth shop is so big, we can't run away. If it doesn't work, then come back to the cloth shop to find us."
Manager Liu, concerned for his son, suppressed his anger and nodded, instructing the man to see the two out.
When the brother and sister returned to the cloth shop, Madam Su immediately hugged Xiao Youran in her arms and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's so good that Xiao Ranran is back."
Jiang Youchen: ...
Zhou came over and asked with great concern, "Is it really... cured?"
Jiang Youchen looked at Xiao Youran with a blank expression.
He doesn't know.
He didn't even know what the box of medicine Xiao Youran had given him was; it just looked really strange.
Xiao Youran looked at her brother with great anticipation, because she had previously said that her brother was the true successor of Medicine King Valley.
In a flash, Jiang Youchen suddenly understood his great mission and patted his chest, saying, "Healed, healed!"
Xiao You Ran: ……
Brother, where does your confidence come from?
She was just gesturing for her brother to mention the medicine!
Left with no other choice, she could only say, "It won't be that fast. Anyway, I gave him the medicine and let him try it first."
The Zhou family members' mood became somewhat heavy again.
Is there a risk of having to return this gold coin that you've already obtained?
After their commotion, the Su family lost their desire to find a broker to rent a house. When they returned home and told Old Madam Yun, they said they would wait until after the New Year to discuss it. The matter was thus put on hold for the time being, but that's another story.
However, Xiaoyou's enthusiasm for doing good deeds and accumulating luck points did not cool down.
In the afternoon, she held her brother's hand and strolled around the town, trying to find a way to quickly accumulate luck points.
She noticed that there seemed to be more and more homeless people begging in the town.
Besides distributing porridge and grain, what other methods are there?
It wouldn't be a good thing if this young girl got too prominent in disaster relief efforts; if she accidentally lost money, it might bring her trouble instead...
After thinking it over, she decided that she should still go to Sanyang Mountain tomorrow.
When the group returned home, they heard deafening weeping coming from the backyard.
Zhou was terrified and rushed to the backyard to find Aunt Shen holding Yun Manqian and weeping bitterly.
"Madam, please save Fifth Miss!"
"What's wrong?" Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to check.
"She caught a cold a few days ago, and today she has a persistent fever and is unconscious." Aunt Shen cried, tears streaming down her face. "Please, doctor, have mercy and save Qian'er!"
Looking at the thin bedding in the room, Madam Zhou suppressed her anger and asked, "Didn't the Third Madam bring you bedding yesterday?"
Aunt Shen was taken aback for a moment, and whether she did it on purpose or not, she shook her head repeatedly, "No, no!"
Upon hearing this, Guo, who had followed behind, stepped forward and grabbed her hair, yelling, "You wretched servant! Last night I told you to go to my room to get the bedding, but you wouldn't go yourself. Now you're here pretending to be pitiful, who are you trying to fool?!"
Aunt Shen cried out, "Yes, it was my fault! I beg you, Third Madam, to spare my life!"
Madam Zhou couldn't stand the chaos in the third branch of the family, so she shouted, "Alright! Stop arguing! I'll send someone to fetch Doctor Wang to come and examine you! Aunt Shen, don't be anxious! Third sister-in-law, go back to your room and bring over a quilt!"
After saying that, she went back with Madam Yu and Madam Li. The good mood that had lasted all day was completely ruined for them.
Guo reluctantly released Aunt Shen and turned to leave.
A moment later, they brought over a quilt and two bolts of cloth and threw them in front of Aunt Shen.
Aunt Shen thought the fabric was for her and thanked her repeatedly.
Guo said, "You're just a freeloader at home now. Starting today, make two sets of clothes for me and Yin'er!"
Aunt Shen could only agree with tears in her eyes.
Soon, Physician Wang arrived, took Qian'er's pulse, prescribed two doses of medicine, and left.
However, in the middle of the night, the sound of sobbing could be heard again.
Guo, the woman next door, impatiently rolled over while holding her daughter. "All you do is cry! Like you're mourning! Bah!"
As her mother turned over, a gust of cold air blew in, and Yun Manyin immediately started coughing.
Guo quickly patted her back to help her catch her breath, "Grandma, are you going to cough and disturb the whole family again?"
Li, who lived in the room next to Shen's, heard the crying, lit an oil lamp, and got up to come over.
Aunt Shen cried, "Qian'er's fever went down after taking the medicine, but it came back up shortly after. She hasn't woken up since..."
"Let's go and ask a doctor to take a look again."
“The doctor said before that if the fever goes up again, there’s nothing he can do… He can only give her medicine every two hours and leave it to fate…” Aunt Shen cried so hard she could barely breathe.
Li said decisively, "This won't do! Go and ask Physician Wang again!"
After saying that, she went out to the outer courtyard to call Uncle Feng for help.
Without saying a word, Uncle Feng jumped out of bed and ran outside.
A moment later, he ran back, panting, and replied, "It won't work. Doctor Wang said that high fever at midnight is the most dangerous. He can only prescribe this kind of antipyretic. Just give him the medicine according to the time of day. There's no other way."
Aunt Shen almost fainted when she heard this, and kept crying out "Qian'er, Qian'er"
Madam Yu also came over and offered a suggestion with heartache, "Little Youran is our lucky star, why don't we let her come and keep Qian'er company? Maybe she can turn bad luck into good!"
Hearing the noise, Su Shi came over to take a look and immediately stood at the door, bewildered in the wind: ...
When Aunt Shen saw Madam Su at the door, she immediately went to plead, "Grandma, please!"
Su: ...
She gave an awkward smile, "This... let's not bring up the matter of the lucky star again. Little Youran is still so young... I'm afraid she'll..."
A daughter is a lucky star, but that doesn't mean she won't get sick, right?
Madam Yu immediately realized she had given a bad idea and quickly slapped her own face lightly, saying, "Look at my mouth, I really deserve to be slapped. Please don't take it to heart, Aunt."
Little Youran, still half-asleep, reached out and touched her, "Mother..."
Upon seeing this, Madam Su quickly picked her up, "Why are you up, little one?"
"Little Youran has a way to bring down Fifth Cousin's fever," Little Youran said, squinting her eyes.
Aunt Shen immediately perked up, "Please, Miss, save my life!"
