Gu Sang spoke to the Gu family members.
"Hmph, now that you've grown wings, you've forgotten where you came from, haven't you? But don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have money now. Let me tell you, if you continue to be so disrespectful to your parents, I will tell them what you've done and see how they will treat you. Then we'll see if they will even acknowledge you again," Madam Yang said to Gu Sang.
"Heh, go ahead and tell them if you want, but I advise you not to go too far, or you'll learn what it means to shoot yourself in the foot," Gu Sang said coldly to Madam Yang before leaving.
"Oh my god, how did this girl become so vicious? We are members of the Gu family! This girl is too arrogant to treat members of the Gu family like this."
The surrounding area was abuzz with discussion, all driven by a desire to get a share of Gu Sang's spoils and to lecture her. Seeing the commotion, Madam Yang was delighted and addressed the crowd, saying, "Everyone, ignore that bastard; she's an ingrate." With that, she strode away.
Yang left with her entourage.
"Mother, why didn't you fight her for it just now? Why did you give up so easily? She's very arrogant." After Yang left, the eldest of the two elders of the Gu family said to the eldest aunt of the Gu family.
"Hehe, I know her personality best. She's very proud and petty. She still wants to keep those dozen or so shops? Dream on. Once I send her to a high-ranking official's bed as a concubine, not only will the shops be our money, but so will ours. Let's hurry and go see our elder brother." The old woman said to the Gu family's old woman.
"Yes, brother, let's hurry up and go. I haven't seen you in so long, I really miss you. Let's go quickly." The old lady said to the eldest son of the Gu family.
After leaving, Gu Sang went to her own shop to check the recent income. She had too many shops to handle, so she hired some assistants. Such a modern shop would have been very successful in ancient times.
After Gu Sang checked the recent accounts, she handed the bill to the shop assistant and instructed him, "Alright, that's all for today. Also, this is a marketing method I've just researched. Please do as I say. I believe this marketing method will definitely make more money."
After Gu Sang finished speaking, he sat down in the shop. The shop assistants looked at Gu Sang with excitement. When the Gu family saw that the bill in the shop assistant's hand showed an amount of one million taels of gold, they were very shocked. They did not expect that Gu Sang would be so powerful and have so many businesses.
Suddenly a ragged child rushed into the store.
He ran to the counter and said to the shop assistant, "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, please save me! I am an orphan and I only have a younger sister who depends on me for survival, but she has contracted the plague. Please save my sister."
Hearing the child say these words with a tearful face, everyone felt a little sorry for him. Gu Sang also felt sorry for the child and wanted to help him, so she said to him, "Little brother, don't cry, tell me what happened."
"Thank you, shopkeeper. My sister has contracted the plague and has been bedridden for three months. She can't get up from her bed every day. I have to spend half of my money every month to support her. If you can cure my sister's illness, I am willing to give everything to buy your medical skills," the child said to the shopkeeper.
“Well then, I see you're a pitiful person, and your sister has contracted the plague, so I'll help you. Let me check on your sister's condition first,” Gu Sang said to the little boy.
"Thank you so much, shopkeeper. You must cure my sister's illness!" The boy wiped away his tears as he led Gu Sang out. The two boarded the carriage and rode quickly to the village.
Upon arriving at the village, Gu Sang discovered that it was a living hell. Not only the boy's sister, but almost the entire village had contracted the plague and were all bedridden. Seeing the people on the verge of death, Gu Sang felt some sympathy and began to treat them.
The boy's sister has a rare disease called leukemia. This disease requires special drugs to suppress its spread. The drug is a kind of herb that looks like a peach tree, but it has no leaves and the flowers on the leaves are very small. This herb is called Seven Star Flower. Gu Sang had seen this flower in the medical field in her previous life, so she remembered this herb. Gu Sang asked the little boy to guard her while she began to prepare the Seven Star Flower.
"Young man, could you please get me some water? I need to wash the petals of the Seven Star Flower. Please pour all the petals into the wooden tub; I need to take a medicinal bath in the water," Gu Sang said to the boy.
"Okay, sister." The boy agreed and went to the kitchen to get some water.
After watching the boy leave, Gu Sang began processing the medicinal herbs. The sap of the Seven Star Flower could detoxify, so Gu Sang planned to use it for a bath. The bath was quite long; Gu Sang soaked for a full fifteen minutes before emerging. Upon coming out, she saw a group of people anxiously waiting at the door, who all crowded around her as soon as she appeared.
"Young lady, you're finally out! Young lady, how are they?" a woman asked Gu Sang anxiously.
Seeing the expressions on these people's faces, Gu Sang knew that they were worried about the safety of Gu's parents.
"Uncles and aunts, don't worry, I've cured your illnesses. Now you just need to rest," Gu Sang said with a smile.
"Really? That's wonderful! Thank you so much!" Everyone was extremely excited after hearing Gu Sang's words. The two elders of the Gu family were also very moved as they looked at Gu Sang. They knew that Gu Sang could not only treat illnesses, but also heal people.
"Young lady, how did you cure my illness? You're amazing! I really have to thank you this time, otherwise my husband would have been..." the woman said to Gu Sang.
"You're welcome. It was just a small favor. Leave it to me. I promise I'll cure the illness. Please don't worry, everyone. This will help you recover sooner," Gu Sang said to everyone.
"Okay, young lady, how do you treat patients?" the woman continued to ask Gu Sang.
Gu Sang thought for a moment, then said, "I put a medicine that I've never seen before into the sap of the Seven Star Flower. This medicine can cure most diseases, but there is one thing to note."
"Girl, please tell me quickly."
This medicine was made from seeds she brought from modern times. The quantity was limited, and planting it required a great deal of effort. Gu Sang thought about it but decided not to say anything.
"Young lady... how much will your treatment cost?" An old man lowered his head and put his hands in his pockets. They all knew that a miracle doctor like Gu Sang could save so many people in one go without asking them for the cost of medicine. Even if Gu Sang hadn't said anything, they would still feel embarrassed.
