In the other town, Su Xiaoxiao thought about her conversation with Jing Yi and was worried. She went to Spring Willow Lane again.
When Aunt Fu saw her, her nostrils flared. "Why are you here again!"
Su Xiaoxiao pouted. "Anyway, I'm not looking for you to buy dried plums."
Aunt Fu was so angry she couldn't speak!
Physician Fu came out. "Mother…"
Aunt Fu said angrily, "I asked you to charge her double treatment fee, did you take the payment?"
Physician Fu said awkwardly, "I've taken it…"
She was his disciple.
A disciple in name only.
He did not dare to say the last sentence.
"Hmph!" Aunt Fu thought that she had successfully extorted Su Xiaoxiao and entered the house proudly!
"Sister, I want to go to the toilet." Su Ergou needed to pee.
"The latrine is over there." Physician Fu pointed the way.
After Su Ergou went to the toilet, Su Xiaoxiao asked about the young man in embroidered clothes.
Physician Fu said, "Someone was here. A young man with a sword."
It was Bai Ze, Jing Yi's guard.
Su Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and asked, "Did he ask you about me?"
"That's right," Physician Fu said. "He asked me who you are to me. I said you were my disciple and asked him who he was, and he left."
She had guessed that Jing Yi would investigate her. Fortunately, she had made preparations in advance. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't be able to explain her medical skills.
Next, she thought that Physician Fu would ask her what was going on. Who was she, where was her master, and why was someone investigating her?
Unexpectedly, Physician Fu did not seem to care at all. He only reminded her solemnly, "Don't tell my mother. The Fu family's medical skills are passed down to men and not women. If she finds out that I took in a female disciple… Even if it's just a nominal disciple in name, she will definitely be furious."
Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. "Oh, I suddenly want to tell her."
Physician Fu was speechless.

The siblings arrived home at about the same time as their father and the family's son-in-law.
Everyone ended their day's work and worked hard and happily.
Except for Madam Qian. She had been tortured to death.
Su Cheng was all smiles. "Daughter! I'm back! My son-in-law is also back!"
When they returned home, they were loving in-laws!
The three little ones followed Meizi and Niu Dan to the village to play. Su Ergou went to call them home for dinner.
Su Xiaoxiao entered the kitchen and took Father Su's Chinese medicine. While waiting for the medicine, she brought the bone-strengthening medicine she had taken from the pharmacy to Father Su's room.
"What's this?" Father Su asked.
Su Xiaoxiao said, "Bone-strengthening medicine."
Father Su had never seen such a strange medicine. "Did you spend a lot of money on this?"
"I met a good physician who sold it to me at a cheap price," Su Xiaoxiao said as she handed him a money bag. "I've earned some money from doing business these few days. Take these first."
Old Master Su refused. "I don't want it. Take it and spend it!"
Su Xiaoxiao said softly, "I've kept some and given some to Ergou. Although it's not much, as long as we work hard in business, it will definitely get better and better in the future."
Old Master Su's throat hurt again.
He held his daughter's hand and resisted the urge to cry with great willpower. He choked and said, "Don't worry… Dad will learn to farm well…"
In the house of the Li family, Madam Qian, who was eating, suddenly shivered involuntarily.

Su Xiaoxiao hadn't given Old Father Su acupuncture yet. It wasn't time yet.
She returned to the house and took out the list that Shen Chuan had given her. She planned to see how many had been ordered of each type so that she could decide how much dough to distribute tonight.
But when she saw the black and white paper in her hand, her expression froze.
She couldn't read!
To be precise, she did not know the language of this dynasty!
Moreover, the ancient words were written vertically from top to bottom, and from right to left. There were no punctuation marks, so it was not easy to guess!
