YM778.TV Chapter 40
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!
She had been too hasty! Had she known earlier, she would have asked Shen Chuan to read it!
The little fatty scratched her head angrily!
Just as she was about to go crazy, she turned around and saw Wei Ting sitting at the door enjoying the sunset.
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up as she strode over. “Wei Ting, can you read?”
Wei Ting sat on the chair and looked up indifferently.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell into his deep eyes, reflecting a dazzling light.
Su Xiaoxiao swallowed.
Oh no, this body’s love-struck habit was acting up again.
She quickly turned her face away and said coldly, “I’m asking you a question.”
Wei Ting looked at the back of her head and said indifferently, “Yes.”
“Really?” Su Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at him with sparkling eyes. “Then help me read the words on this!”
“You can’t read?” Wei Ting was surprised.
Those who knew medicine more or less knew how to read, except for some barefooted doctors who only knew a few traditional cures. However, it was obvious that her medical skills were much better than those of barefooted doctors.
“What’s so strange about country bumpkins not being able to read? Are you going to read it or not?” Su Xiaoxiao shook the list in her hand.
Wei Ting asked with a faint smile, “Is this your attitude of begging?”
Su Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth.
Wei Ting leaned back in his chair and said in a tone, “It seems that you don’t want me to read it. Forget it.”
Su Xiaoxiao glared at him angrily and took a deep breath. She smiled. “Husband, you’ve worked all day in the fields. It’s been hard on you. Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? I’ll get you a glass of water!”
She quickly poured a cup of tea.
“It’s slightly cold,” Wei Ting said.
“Wait!” Su Xiaoxiao went into the house to get a cup of hot water.
“It’s bland,” Wei Ting said again.
“Okay!” Su Xiaoxiao went to add some tea leaves.
Apart from a few luxuries for Su Daya in the past, the Su family lived frugally. The tea leaves they had were old tea, rough and astringent.
Wei Ting took a sip and didn’t want to drink anymore.
“Husband, are you tired? Let me massage your shoulders!”
Su Xiaoxiao circled behind him and reached out with her chubby hands to massage his shoulders and neck.
Wei Ting enjoyed the way someone tried his best to please him.
Except for one development. A certain someone’s hand was indeed very disciplined at first, but as she pressed down, it went in an indescribable direction.
Wei Ting’s body tensed. “Give it to me!”
Su Xiaoxiao sneered. Did he think that she couldn’t deal with him? She had long noticed that there was an itch on Wei Ting’s waist.
Wei Ting pointed at the words on the list and read them to her word by word.
Su Xiaoxiao listened attentively and subconsciously bent down behind him, wanting to remember the words he read.
The girl’s warm breath landed on his ear, and Wei Ting paused.
“Why did you stop?” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Wei Ting continued reading.
The wind was cold and he was hot.
–
When Su Jinniang passed by not far away, she saw the two of them being intimate under the setting sun.
“I’m done reading.”
Wei Ting said coldly.
Su Xiaoxiao leaned on the chair and tilted her head, smiling at his perfect side profile. “Husband, you’re so amazing!”
Wei Ting’s expression was calm, and his tone was disdainful. “You don’t have to tell me.”
“I won’t say it then!” Anyway, he had finished reading it and she had what she needed!
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the list and got up to go inside.
Wei Ting said seriously, “The tea is cold.”
Su Xiaoxiao unleashed her aura without looking back. “Pour it yourself!”
Wei Ting was dumbfounded.
