Chapter 154 Her life will belong to the Yu family from now on
Da Xisi Po's eyes couldn't help but straighten.
She originally thought that if the little girl could guess two correctly, it would be worth her trip today.
But she really didn't expect that the little girl actually found all four!
Is it just a coincidence, or is there really some talent in me? ...
Da Xi Si Po didn't show any emotion on her face, and she looked no different from her usual picky and disapproving self.
"Tell me, why did you choose these four?"
Xing Xing saw that Da Xi Si Po was asking her a question, and she dazedly repeated the properties of the medicines that Da Xi Si Po had mentioned before: "...So Xing Xing chose these four."
Xing Xing's voice became quieter, with a hint of uncertainty in it.
Seeing that Xingxing, at such a young age, could completely narrate what she had said before, and repeated it so accurately, it was almost as if she had memorized the content of her previous words.
Da Xi Si was shocked in her heart, but she still looked calm and composed. She said lightly, "It's OK... Don't throw away the remaining three items. In winter, boil them with ginger to help your sister Shuangyun recover some strength."
Then, Da Xi Si Po taught Xing Xing how to process these four herbs and how to decoct them later.
Finally, he glanced at Mrs. Wei and said, "Go back and teach her how to use the scale. It's better to be more accurate in the measurements."
Mrs. Wei felt a little panicked: "What if it's not quite accurate?"
Da Xi Si Po sneered.
The two recipes she chose were specifically for Xingxing to practice with, so slight errors in the amounts wouldn't matter.
"It won't kill anyone!"
After saying this, without caring whether Mrs. Wei agreed or not, Mrs. Daxi went back to the Yu family's courtyard.
Xingxing carried the herbs in her pocket and followed closely.
Daxi Sipo put the medicine box on her back and said, "Okay, I'm going back now. You are still young, so don't come to me all the time. It's annoying. Just come every five days."
Xing Xing nodded like crazy and replied obediently, "Okay, Xing Xing got it."
Grandma Daxi fished out a book from under the medicine box and handed it to Xingxing. Xingxing hurriedly put the herbs in the bag under her skirt on a piece of coarse cloth in the yard - that was the cloth her aunt used to dry wild vegetables, and it was very clean.
Xing Xing wiped her hands on her body again before taking the book from Da Xi Si Po's hand.
Seeing how much Xingxing cherished the book, although Da Xi Si Po still had an impatient look on her face, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
"Although you don't have to come to my place on weekdays, you should not slack off. Read books and study hard when you have nothing to do."
Xingxing took the book and turned it over and over, looking at the four big words written on the yellowed cover - Xinglin Shengshou.
After a long while, she stammered and spoke in confusion: "...But, but Xingxing, you still can't read..."
Da Xi Si Po: "..."
This child is so smart that I almost forget that she is only four years old, cannot read, and is blind.
"Aren't your brothers all studying?" Da Xi Si Po asked impatiently, "Let them teach you!"
Xing Xing nodded: "Okay..."
After saying this, Da Xi Si Po strode away with her medicine box on her back.
Mrs. Wei came back to her senses at this moment, as if waking up from a dream: "Mrs. Daxi, are you going to teach you medicine?"
Xing Xing held the book “Xinglin Shengshou” and nodded in confusion: “It seems so…”
Grandma Wei happily picked up Xing Xing and gave her a kiss: "This is a good thing, my dear grandson! You should study medicine with your grandma Da Xi. With this skill at your disposal in the future, grandma will be more relieved!"
What about women not being able to study medicine? Only Mrs. Wei doesn’t care!
She only knew that Da Xi Si Po had superb medical skills and had saved countless lives!
Grandma Wei knew very well that her granddaughter was getting a huge bargain by having her granddaughter study medicine with such a miracle doctor!
Mrs. Wei was very happy!
Xing Xing looked at Grandma Wei's happiness and laughed twice as well - just twice. Then Xing Xing thought of Shuang Yun who was still unconscious on the kang, and hurriedly got off Grandma Wei, waving her fist vigorously: "Xing Xing, go make some medicine for Sister Shuang Yun!"
Mrs. Wei hurriedly followed, as she still remembered that Mrs. Daxi had asked her to teach Xingxing how to use the scale.
With the joint efforts of the grandmother and grandson, a bowl of black soup was quickly prepared.
The soup tasted bitter, and Mrs. Wei frowned at the bitterness, muttering, "They are just some common herbs, how come they taste so strong?"
Xingxing held her breath carefully and wanted to feed Shuangyun.
Li Chunhua saw that the grandmother and grandson had been busy for most of the afternoon, and she was also very curious. She came over to see what was going on. When she saw Xingxing wanted to feed Shuangyun medicine, she quickly took the medicine bowl and said, "Let me do it."
Xing Xing said "Oh" and handed the medicine bowl to Li Chunhua honestly: "Aunt, be careful, don't burn your hands."
After taking a bowl of medicine, the effect was quick, and Shuangyun woke up slowly at night.
It was Li Chunhua who discovered it when she came to add charcoal to Shuangyun's house.
"Oh, you finally woke up?" Li Chunhua said with a smile, "Xingxing has been coming to see you whenever she has time these past two days. Today, she even specially invited Daxi Sipo to come over, and she personally made medicine for you."
Shuangyun looked at the roof with lifeless eyes. His voice was hoarse because he hadn't spoken in the past few days. "... Madam, I'm not dead yet?"
"Pah, pah, pah! What bad luck! You are such a good girl, why are you dying?" Li Chunhua scolded, "You too, you bang your head against the wall when that bitch says a few words to you. If you really meet someone who wants to hurt you, wouldn't she be so happy?"
Shuangyun grabbed the corner of the quilt and said nothing.
She was originally the daughter of a good family in the county, but when her family fell into misfortune, she was sold to the Zhu family as a maid.
But not long after she became a maid in the Zhu family, the Zhu family got into trouble and the whole family was imprisoned. If it weren't for her second uncle Xie, who had some connections with her family, who helped her and asked the third master to buy her back as a maid, she might have been selling her smiles in the tile-ends by now.
She was full of gratitude towards the third elder.
After coming to the Yu family, she did not dare to slack off every day and just wanted to do her duty as a maid well.
But even so, the rumors in the village never seemed to subside.
At that time, the butcher surnamed Zhou and his wife cursed her and insulted the Yu family. She was so sad and angry that she only wanted to die to prove her innocence.
But after she was on the verge of death, she realized that it was not worth dying just because of other people's gossip.
"I understand, Madam." Shuangyun's eyes slowly filled with tears.
From now on, her life belongs to the Yu family.
Li Chunhua was very satisfied to see Shuangyun had come to his senses and no longer had the intention to commit suicide. She thought it was all due to her encouragement.
