Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to cook a pot of rice porridge with seaweed and egg. Seaweed was to supplement the potassium and promote urination, which could help lowering the blood pressure. Rice was to nourish yin deficiency and invigorate the kidney, it would also improve eyesight and improve the blood circulation, which was beneficial to relieve the current symptoms of Aunt Fu.

In addition, she spread out several preserved vegetable pancakes for her and Su Ergou to eat.

It was hard to work with an empty belly. So she wouldn’t ask for Aunt Fu’s permission.

After she washed the pot clean and returned it to the neighbor, she brought along a basket of dried goods with her.

“These are the gifts from Aunt Fu, please accept them.” Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

The woman looked at the basket full of big and beautiful dried mushrooms, and thought of making a pot of chicken mushroom stew for her husband and son tonight, so in the end she couldn’t bear to refuse the gifts.

“If there’s anything you need, you can just tell me. It’s not uncommon for Doctor Fu to go for three or five days of medical visits. Those remote villages are difficult to reach and won’t earn money. No one is willing to go there, and it is only Doctor Fu who doesn’t mind the high mountains and long roads, happily to be taken advantage of!”

Su Xiaoxiao sighed and said, “Alas, wasn’t it because Aunt Fu who let him go? Aunt Fu said that she would rather suffer a little bit, rather than let the poor people not be able to see a doctor.”

The woman remembered that this old woman who had a poisonous mouth did not really make things difficult for the poor patients. Even if she scolded everyone in the street, she neither refused the treatment nor kicked out the patients who could not pay for the medicine.

Thinking about this, the woman kept silent.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Anyway, let me thank you on behalf of Aunt Fu in advance.”

Afterwards, Su Xiaoxiao returned to the Fu family’s house, then she packed another basket of dried goods, and sent it to another neighbor.

“Aunt Fu said that these goods had been exposed to too much sun. The weather is so humid that they would be spoiled if you don’t eat them soon. If you don’t mind, you can take these to make soup, which is very nourishing.”

……

In the evening, Su Xiaoxiao carried a sack of peanuts on her shoulder, then she hummed and walked away.

Aunt Fu sat on the bed and glared angrily, shouting, “You naughty girl! What else did you take!?”

Su Xiaoxiao said confidently, “A return for the medicine and consultation fee!”

Aunt Fu: “……!!”

She had been tricked. Such a folk prescription was traded with a very big sack of peanuts, what a loss, she lost so miserably ah!

At night, two incredible things happened to the Fu family.

The first thing was that Aunt Fu’s symptoms had been relieved. Her symptoms of palpitations and shortness of breath were gone, her headache was no longer painful, her vertigo was greatly relieved, and her limbs no longer felt numb.

The second thing, the neighbors in the neighborhood who never interacted with her suddenly came to see her!

One brought her a warm bowl of chicken mushroom stew, and helped her to go to the toilet.

The other one helped her put on the brazier, leaving a cup of snow fungus soup and a few steamed wowotou with preserved vegetables.

And they all said that they would come see her again tomorrow morning!

Aunt Fu was in disbelief, she felt like seeing a ghost!

——

Su Ergou didn’t have much thoughts, just like when his older sister put two boards on Aunt Fu, he did not feel strange with how skillful she was.

As for things like feeding medicine and others, he didn’t see it.

When the two of them returned to the village, it was already completely dark.

Father Su was a little anxious. Although Zhang Dao was no longer in town and there was no one else who would mess with the siblings, he was always worried if the children had not come back.

When he went to the village entrance for the 17th time to look around, he finally saw the shadow of a chubby girl.

“Daya!”

He breathed a long sigh of relief and his mood suddenly brightened, “Why are you so late?”

Su Ergou explained what had happened at Aunt Fu’s house, “.….. Jie looked for her to blackmail a sack of peanuts!”

Su Cheng gave his chubby daughter a thumbs up and said, “As expected of my daughter!”

Su Xiaoxiao: “……”

……

The three little ones hadn’t seen their mother for a whole day, so they were in a bad mood.

After finally waiting for Su Xiaoxiao to return, the three of them did not immediately pounce on her, but instead, they went into Su Ergou’s room.

The three of them faced the wall and gave their three aggrieved little backs to Su Xiaoxiao.
