Jiang Nian asked her to finish the medicine and come back for a follow-up visit before letting her leave.
Looking at what I had gained for most of the day, there was about two yuan in medical fees, as well as some food, eggs... I gave a few patients with minor illnesses an injection and didn't charge them for anything.
I'm just too tired.
I hope there won’t be so many people tomorrow. She has enough money, food and clothing. She will be exhausted if she keeps doing this every day.
Who could understand that the heir of the Valley of Poison Doctors, who was once aloof and arrogant, and to whom so many people had spent all their wealth in vain, could not get treatment, was now working like a slave in this small mountain village, and people even came to her for treatment for minor ailments like colds and fevers.
She also has to watch it with all her heart, and not for the money.
If the old man knew about this, he would laugh at her to death. She is becoming more and more depraved.
However, thinking about how those people were thanking her profusely, the feeling didn't seem so bad.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people around during dinner time, she quickly took her backpack and went up the mountain.
The herbs that can be grown in the Poison Doctor Valley are all extremely precious varieties. These common medicinal herbs that can be found everywhere have to be dug up in the mountains.
On the outskirts of the hillside, I saw the little girl picking mushrooms again. Her skinny body was carrying firewood that was taller than her. Every step she took gave people the feeling that she was about to be crushed.
"If you can't finish carrying it, you can save it for the next trip. Doing these heavy tasks that are beyond your body's endurance for a long time is equivalent to overdrawing your body. Moreover, you are still young and in the period of growth, so it is easier to get exhausted."
Zhou Xiaoju paused, "But carrying it twice will waste a lot of time. I have to cut grass for the pigs and feed the pigs and chickens later. There is not much food at home. I have to take advantage of the abundance of wild vegetables now to dry more vegetables for winter. There are still many things to do."
"What about your family?"
Jiang Nian felt that he might have touched someone's sore spot, because there was a hint of sadness in the little girl's eyes.
But it was only for a moment, and then he became resolute again, "My father doesn't want us anymore, my grandmother is paralyzed in bed, and my grandfather is old. The whole family depends on my mother alone, and I have to help her."
What a strange thing.
"Your father ran away, and your mother raised you out of maternal love, but she also had to support your grandparents. What was she thinking?"
Zhou Xiaoju didn't know what she was thinking. Every time she talked about it, she would break down. She said that she couldn't bear to leave them, so she didn't want to leave this home. She said that no one cared about her and understood her.
She also always felt that she and her siblings were a burden to her.
Zhou Xiaoju also didn't want to see her mother in such pain, and finally mustered up the courage to let her go find her own happiness, but she broke down and said that even she wanted to drive her away!
She felt that her mother might not have stayed for her and her siblings, but was just unwilling to be abandoned like this. She was unwilling to give up her youth and have nothing, and then be driven away like this, so she insisted on staying.
Seeing Zhou Xiaoju's stunned look, Jiang Nian didn't stay for long. Considering that she liked the other party, he reminded her to take care of her health. From a doctor's perspective, he advised her that if she continued like this, she would eventually break down.
Jiang Nian was definitely very serious about collecting herbs this time. In addition to what was in the backpack and in his hands, there were still quite a few in the space.
These common medicinal herbs are not difficult to find, as they grow in large tracts in deep mountains and old forests. However, they are time-consuming to collect, especially when it comes to processing and drying them after they are brought back. If you are not careful, they can easily become moldy and infested with insects.
She was busy until late at night before she finally stopped.
I caught a pheasant from the space, peeled the skin quickly, chopped it up and threw it into the pot to make soup. This is the simplest cooking method.
Not far away, Shi Liu sniffed and said, "Doctor Jiang is eating meat again." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
