"Little Hua, be good and take a rest. If your stomach is fine when you wake up, then I'll be sure that you're really fine."
"sister……"
Xiaohua, who didn't want to sleep, saw the worry on Shu Jiaying's face. In the end, she said nothing and closed her eyes obediently.
Shu Jiaying casually covered Xiaohua with a blanket, but her eyes were soon attracted by another red blanket on the bed.
Shu Jiaying remembered that she found the quilt in Erlang's cabinet before he died.
Erleng treasures this quilt so much, maybe he wants to use this quilt to remember his own child, right?
Thinking of this, Shu Jiaying subconsciously pulled the red blanket over.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that there are three words embroidered in red thread on the lower right corner of this quilt with a bright red outer layer and a white inner layer with fresh small flowers - Guan Yaoer!
This should be a name, and it is exactly the same name on the black blanket holding the baby's skeleton.
But who is Guan Yaoer? Why is her name embroidered on the second quilt? And is this person directly related to Xiaohua?

Fengyun Town. Wan'an Hall
"A-choo... A-choo..."
The female healer who was feeling the patient's pulse sneezed from time to time. The old man who was treating the patient withdrew his hand in disgust. He asked in a skeptical tone, "Doctor, are you really capable of doing this? You've caught a cold yourself. Sigh... forget it. I'd better go to Zhenghe Hall and ask Doctor Yao to feel my pulse!"
Seeing that the patient who had been brought here with great difficulty was about to leave, the "female doctor" quickly stood up and called out to the old man.
"Wait a minute, old man. I remember you came to our Wan'an Hall for a consultation before. I gave you acupuncture several times when your rheumatism flared up. Have you forgotten?"
"How dare you talk about acupuncture? My acupuncture at Zhenghetang wasn't that expensive, but here you charge over twenty cents more. I used to be drawn to your reputation as a 'female healer,' but now you've been exposed as a fraud. Humph... Okay, I don't want to see you anymore. I'll go to Zhenghetang to get some medicine myself. Goodbye!"
"Hey, old man, please don't leave. We are having a big discount at Wan'antang right now. Old customers like you can get a 50% discount, old man..."
The "female doctor" was shouting from behind, but her 50% discount did not impress any customer. This was the tenth patient who had been brought in with great difficulty, but left again.
Feeling very tired, the 'female doctor' stopped calling out and leaned tiredly against the medicine cabinet.
At this time, the shopkeeper and boss Guan Wanshan came over.
Guan Wanshan sighed deeply, and finally said, "Yao'er, I think our Wan'an Hall may really be finished. I've already asked Dazhu to go home and rest. Why don't you... go back and rest for a while too!"
"Uncle, you want me to leave? But there's really no other doctor in Wan'antang besides me. What if there are patients coming in after I'm gone?"
“…”
Guan Wanshan didn't say anything else, but judging from his actions, he seemed to be planning to close the door.
Looking at the big words "Shop Transfer" written on a piece of red paper on the counter, Guan Yaoer understood that Guan Wanshan wanted to sell the shop.
Thinking about how the century-old store had closed down because of her own opportunism, Guan Yaoer became anxious and knelt down in front of Guan Wanshan in self-blame.
