The clinic was filled with the pleasant aroma of herbs, and the walls were adorned with various medical texts and medicinal specimens. When Luo Yunhe entered, she found that the doctors had already left, leaving only a young apprentice arranging the herbs.
The young apprentice looked to be around twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in simple clothes, with a youthful smile on his face. When he saw Luo Yunhe enter, he immediately went to greet her and told her that the doctor had left, but had left some medicine and medical instructions.
Luo Yunhe gratefully accepted the medicine packet, then took out two copper coins from her pocket and offered them to the apprentice as a tip. However, the apprentice quickly shook his head and refused, saying that he did not need any extra reward.
“Madam Su, you’re too kind. The previous fees have already been settled. Besides, Young Master Su needs someone to take care of him, so it’s only right that I wait for you here. We know your family is facing some difficulties right now, so there’s no need to give me any more money. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back now and come back to check on you tomorrow morning,” the young apprentice explained with a smile.
Hearing the medicine boy's sincere words, Luo Yunhe felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She was deeply moved, realizing that there were still many kind people in the world willing to help others. Compared to the indifference of the Su family, the medicine boy's kindness made her feel incredibly warm.
Luo Yunhe couldn't help but sigh, "This world is so complicated!" She understood that although there was ugliness and injustice in life, there were also kind people like the medicine boy.
Finally, Luo Yunhe thanked the medicine boy again for his kindness and expressed her hope that he could arrive early the next day. The medicine boy nodded, bid farewell to Luo Yunhe, and hurriedly left.
Watching the medicine boy's departing figure, Luo Yunhe couldn't help but think of her own experience.
She knew that even though the Su family was unfriendly to them, she had to work even harder to make them look at her with new eyes.
Carrying the bowl of wontons, she went into the small room and saw that Su Jingxuan was already asleep.
Looking at his leg, which had already been bandaged once, he took a deep breath and tossed the bowl of wontons next to the stove so it wouldn't get cold.
Finally, Luo Yunhe lay down and fell asleep next to him.
Su Jingxuan woke up in the middle of the night and felt a soft breathing sound beside him. He turned his head and saw his wife sleeping next to him. He was filled with mixed feelings.
Listening to her shallow breathing, he knew that she must have been very busy and very tired that day.
I felt even more guilty.
He reached out to smooth the stray hairs by her ear, but then stopped, not wanting to disturb her sleep.
And so, in the dark night, a pair of bright eyes stared intently at the petite figure beside him.
Luo Yunhe was indeed exhausted and slept very soundly. She only slowly opened her eyes after there was some noise outside.
She was immediately met with a pair of dark eyes staring at her. She was stunned for a moment, but quickly she realized what was happening.
"Husband, you're awake?" Luo Yunhe had just woken up, her voice slightly hoarse. After stretching, she turned her gaze to him.
"Husband, are you hungry? Do you need to pee?"
When she said the last sentence, Luo Yunhe's cheeks flushed slightly.
"Ahem! I don't need it for now!" Su Jingxuan said awkwardly.
"Oh!" Luo Yunhe responded awkwardly, then remembered the wontons she had brought back last night and immediately rushed out.
The small medicine stove had been turned off in the middle of the night, so his wontons had gone cold. However, Luo Yunhe relit the stove and heated up the bowl of wontons, bringing them into the room.
"Husband, come here, let me feed you!"
Su Jingxuan propped himself up and slowly sat up, while Luo Yunhe placed a blanket behind him.
"Right now, the most important thing is for you to recover. Don't think too much about money. Don't worry, your wife is very capable!"
Su Jingxuan opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he didn't and obediently let her feed him.
"How is it? Isn't this wonton delicious?"
"Um!"
"I'll make it for you after I've finished taking care of things at home!"
"good!"
While eating, they sketched out their future plans, a picture of peaceful bliss.
Luo Yunhe placed all the herbs she had picked yesterday on the counter. The old doctor was quite surprised to see that she had brought so many precious medicinal materials again.
Because many medicinal herbs are not available to everyone, and even if they are, their quality is not very good. However, the herbs that this young girl collected were of very high quality, so the price he offered was very reasonable.
Bai Mumu was in a good mood when she saw that she had fifty more taels of silver. However, after hesitating for a long time, she still asked the old doctor about the remaining stones at the bottom of the basket.
"Doctor, I'd like to ask where I can buy jade? When I was on the mountain, I saw some stones that were really beautiful, so I collected some. I think there might be gemstones or something in them, so I want to sell them."
The old doctor only knew about Yili (a type of liquor), and had no idea how to look at stones. After hearing what Luo Yunhe said, he glanced at the stones in the basket, which were of different sizes.
He couldn't tell anything from the appearance or color, but since she wanted to sell these stones, he naturally knew where to buy them.
"Young lady, go to the Treasure Pavilion. They have jade gambling there! Perhaps you can sell these stones there!"
Upon hearing "Treasure Pavilion," Luo Yunhe immediately nodded, "Thank you, Doctor!"
After receiving the news, Luo Yunhe also took the stone that she had stored with Su Jingxuan yesterday to the Treasure Pavilion.
He also slipped Su Jingxuan ten taels of silver.
Su Jingxuan looked at the heavy silver in his hand and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Treasure Pavilion.
When Luo Yunhe arrived, the Treasure Pavilion was already open. Perhaps it was too early, as there weren't many people. However, the interior of the Treasure Pavilion was very large, filled with countless stones.
They come in different sizes, but all of them have a clearly marked price.
Because she was a young girl carrying a large bamboo basket on her back, the shop assistant at the Treasure Pavilion thought she had come early in the morning to buy stones and treated her very warmly.
However, when Luo Yunhe revealed her purpose, the shopkeeper's expression immediately turned very ugly.
"What are you doing causing trouble so early in the morning, young lady? Do you even know how to judge jade? You actually came here to sell stones? The stones in our Treasure Pavilion are all collected from legitimate mines, and most of them can be mined to produce jade and gemstones."
We don't want stones that weren't mined from legitimate mines!
