Upon hearing this, He Jiuniang chuckled and said, "What a coincidence! It really is my house!"
"Oh my god!"
The two girls were shocked at the same time: "Isn't your family in the clothing business?"
"Yes, that's right. We'll also be in the food business, and we'll be starting a medicinal herb business in a while. We'll take it one step at a time!"
He Jiuniang didn't intend to show off, after all, her family's business didn't give her any opportunity to do so.
The two girls were filled with admiration. To be able to make such a good living after fleeing famine was truly remarkable.
"By the way, doesn't Madam like my Lu Black Duck? I just happened to bring a few seasoning packets with me. I'll have someone deliver them to you in a bit. You can just put in duck necks, duck heads, and any other vegetables you like to braise. Start with the meat, then the vegetables. It's very simple."
She could have simply taken it out of her spatial storage, but that would have been too suspicious. Who would carry a spice packet around all the time?
Since they had already received so many things from He Jiuniang, the two of them didn't hesitate and readily agreed.
They had eaten it twice before with the lady, and the taste was really delicious; you'd want to eat it again and again!
After she finished speaking, it was time for Jiang Ruoya to have the needles removed. He Jiuniang went to remove the needles, packed her things, and left.
Seeing that the patients she had recently treated all required long-term treatment, He Jiuniang wrote a letter home that evening after returning to the inn, explaining her situation and reassuring her family that she would not be able to go back for another ten days to two weeks.
As she wrote, He Jiuniang felt melancholy and missed her son.
Although the little guy is quite independent and can already sleep alone, He Jiu Niang is still worried, afraid that he might kick off the blanket at night, or that he might be naughty since he has never been separated from her for so long.
As she thought about it, she felt a little sad and almost cried. She realized what was happening and patted her face hard, forbidding herself to think about those things anymore.
Emma, being a mother is really not easy. No matter where you go, you're always worried about your child.
The next day at noon, he took the letter to the clinic and gave it to Song Chi, asking him to send a young assistant back to deliver it. Then he continued seeing patients to pass the time.
Five days after Liu Yancai ruined himself, Liu Yancai's wife came to visit.
Oh no, they've already divorced, so now she should be called Madam Cheng.
"Dr. He, your topical medicine is really effective! In just a few days, I feel like my skin has become much fairer and smoother! And I've lost weight noticeably!"
As soon as she entered, Cheng Xuewei shouted at the top of her lungs. She knew that He Jiuniang had to make house calls in the morning, so she specially timed her visit to come in the afternoon. Although they were divorced, the smile on her face was very obvious.
It seems the divorce went quite well.
"I heard you got divorced, so I should call you Madam He now, right?"
He Jiuniang looked at her with a congratulatory expression, and Cheng Xuewei replied with a smile, "Oh, didn't I tell you to call me whatever you want? I don't mind! Speaking of which, I have to thank you for this! I asked Liu Chang later, and Liu Chang explained the whole story. It was purely that the bastard deserved what he got! Doctor He, you did a great job!"
Cheng Xuewei, holding He Jiuniang's hand, continued to sigh, "Oh my, I never imagined that life after the divorce would be so comfortable! These days I don't have to worry about those upsetting things, and I can focus on treating this fat body and this face. Seeing my condition getting better every day, I feel like I'm floating on air!"
"Oh, by the way, Dr. He, don't worry about him causing you trouble. This time, I made him pay so much in the divorce settlement that he was bankrupt, and I even sent people to keep an eye on him. Now he's too busy to take care of himself, so naturally he wouldn't dare to cause you any more trouble!"
Cheng Xuewei spoke frankly, not caring whether He Jiuniang had actually done it or not. He Jiuniang raised an eyebrow, unsure if Cheng Xuewei was testing her.
She smiled and said, "Madam Cheng, you've misunderstood. I don't know what happened."
Cheng Xuewei realized she had said the wrong thing again and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, you don't know, I was wrong. There is no relationship between you two, so of course he can't come looking for trouble for you!"
She smiled very sincerely, and then had her maid deliver a gift, saying it was to thank her for helping her cure her illness.
When He Jiuniang opened it, she saw a complete set of gold jewelry. It wasn't an extravagant style; the design was simple and elegant, the kind that wouldn't look out of place even for someone of He Jiuniang's status.
From this perspective, Cheng Xuewei put a lot of effort into it.
He Jiuniang did not refuse and accepted it.
Cheng Xuewei liked her straightforward personality and invited her to dinner that night. Knowing that her family was in business, she wanted to get involved.
He Jiuniang was somewhat surprised: "Madam Cheng is so wealthy, why would she need to run a small business like mine?"
"Don't say that. Who would complain about having too much money? Besides, this isn't a small business of yours. There will be plenty of opportunities to grow it bigger and stronger in the future. Your family just needs a favorable opportunity! Girl, I sincerely want to do business with you, unlike that scoundrel Liu Yancai. We can talk tonight. I won't keep you any longer. I'll be going now and send a car to pick you up later!"
After saying that, he left very decisively.
He Jiuniang couldn't help but wonder if Cheng Xuewei had come to avenge her man.
Although the possibility is small, one should always be wary of others.
However, regardless of whether tonight's event is a trap or not, she has to go and see for herself.
Song Chi hadn't spoken much to He Jiu Niang these past two days, but when He Jiu Niang was talking to Cheng Xue Wei just now, he was nearby and overheard Cheng Xue Wei wanting to invite her to dinner. His first reaction was to seek revenge.
He wanted to persuade He Jiuniang not to go, but he knew she would definitely not listen, and besides, he had no right to interfere in her affairs. An idea slowly began to grow in his mind.
After most of the patients had left, the carriage sent by Cheng Xuewei arrived, and He Jiuniang got in and left with them.
Seeing this, Song Chi hurriedly tried to follow.
Doctor Song grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm worried that Dr. He might be in danger, so I'll go after him and check on him."
Song Chi explained frankly, "Dad, don't worry, I'm just really worried about her, I have no other thoughts."
Doctor Song sighed. Seeing his son's absent-mindedness these past few days, he knew that his son must have hit a wall and even wanted to give up. This was a good thing, but now that he was going to go with him, he was afraid that his son would get trapped again.
But Dr. He is, after all, a woman. If she goes out like this and there is any danger, it would be good to have someone to help her.
"Go ahead, take Afu with you, so you can look after each other."
Song Chi nodded gratefully, then led his young apprentice, Afu, to chase after the carriage.
This was on a crowded street, and even a horse-drawn carriage couldn't move very fast. The two of them quickly caught up and followed at a relatively safe distance.
