Translator: 549690339

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Little Yingbao took a mule cart to Clan Leader Chen’s house with Mother and Brother Jiang Cheng.

Clan Leader Chen rushed out, his smile wide on his face, “Little… Yingbao is here, come in quickly, have you had your food?

“I have eaten, I came to see Uncle Chen Zhu.”

“Good, good, Zhu woke up this morning and even ate half a bowl of porridge.” Clan Leader Chen was chirpily following behind the toddler, like an old follower.

Seeing Madam Shao coming out of the house, he quickly instructed: “Zhu’s wife, go and make tea for your third sister-in-law and niece.”

Spring Lady: “No need, after Baobao has finished the diagnosis, we still have to go to the town, don’t bother your fourth sister-in-law.”

Madam Shao hesitated, unsure whether to go and make tea, but her father-in-law glared at her, and she hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

Yingbao walked into Zhu’s room, asked Clan Leader Chen to light a lamp, so she could examine Zhu’s leg injury.

Zhu was already awake now, but still very weak.

First, Yingbao pulled down his eyelid to check his pupils.

Zhu’s pupils had recovered to normal, but still seemed a bit unnatural.

After checking the pupils, she started examining the leg. Zhu obviously felt embarrassed, he curled up his leg and turned his face away.

The red swelling on his thigh had considerably reduced, but the ointment applied yesterday was dry.

Looking at the state, his medicine needed to be changed again, and Yingbao couldn’t help but feel the sting.

Not to mention those expensive herbs, just in this ointment and pill, a lot of “Five-Ding-Zhi” has been added.

But thinking of someone paying for the medicine, she got over it.

“Grandfather Chen, my medicine is very precious, a box along with twelve pills, altogether five taels of silver, this is only for one day’s dosage.”

Yingbao seriously told Clan Leader Chen: “If you find it expensive, I also have cheaper options, as low as one tael of silver per dose.”

Chen Fu waved his hand repeatedly: “Not expensive, not expensive, use the one for five taels, I will get the money.”

No matter how expensive, he had to use the best, Chen Fu was well aware of his son’s condition.

Since he ate Yingbao’s pills, his son Chen Zhu had significantly improved.

At that time, even the doctor Li had told him to prepare for the worst. The Fairy Child was indeed a Fairy Child, she pulled his son back from the Ghost Gate with just a few pills.

With that statement from Clan Leader Chen, Yingbao was satisfied. She took out the ointment to apply on Zhu’s wound.

After applying the medication, and feeding him two more pills, she only then accepted the twenty-five taels of silver that Clan Leader Chen handed over, and stuffed it into her small bag.

Chen Fu was not surprised that her small bag could hold so much, he said: “I want to prepare four days’ worth.”

The New Year was about to arrive and it would not be right to trouble Yingbao to come to his house for treatment at that time.

Even if Little Yingbao agreed, her parents probably wouldn’t.

Of course, Yingbao didn’t have a problem, she took out four palm-sized jars from her small bag, and a bowl full of pills.

“This is enough for four more days, I will come to see you again in a few days.”

“That’s good.”

Chen Fu asked: “Yingbao, can you also take a look at my wife?”

Madam Tang had been feeling quite unwell in the past few days. Even after taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor Li, there was no improvement. She was constantly complaining of dizziness, blurry vision, and stiff fingers.

Yingbao nodded, “Okay, where is Grandma Chen?”

“She’s lying in the room.” Chen Fu quickly led Yingbao to his room.

Madam Tang was lying on the bed with her hair disheveled. There was more grey than black in her hair, and her face was dark and haggard; she appeared even older than the Clan Leader.

My, she was actually about ten years younger than Clan Leader Chen. The critical illness of their son abruptly snatched away half the life of the old lady.

Yingbao conscientiously took her pulse, checked her eyes and tongue coating, and asked Clan Leader Chen to bring one pack of her medicine for examination. She had already determined her condition.

Lady Wen once said that for people around fifty years old, most of them suffer from symptoms like irregular liver and spleen function and thick blood. Not only should they take medicine to regulate, but they also need a low-sugar, low-salt diet. They should move around more, drink more water to alleviate this situation.

The prescription provided by Dr. Li is indeed helpful, but adding cinnabar to it is somewhat unfortunate.

But now most prescriptions follow ancient recipes, some not only add cinnabar, but also mercury.

Lady Wen’s family has a medical background, her father said that cinnabar and mercury are high-quality medicines, but they are highly toxic, and misuse can be fatal.

So Lady Wen especially emphasized during her lectures that you should not use cinnabar and mercury to prepare medicines at will.

Yingbao thought for a while and said to Clan Leader Chen: “Mrs. Tang’s pulse is tense, the medicine prescribed by Dr. Li is just right, but she should still pay attention to a light diet, should not eat sweets, shouldn’t drink rice porridge, should drink more water. When I come back from the town, I will prepare some medicine for her to try.”

Clan Leader Chen rubbed his hands: “That’s good, that’s good. I’ll go back to your house to pick it up. Yingbao, how much does the medicine cost?”

Yingbao raised a hand: “Five taels!”

She needs to pay for the herbs from the pharmacy, and the price of five taels is already a favor.

Clan Leader Chen’s face twitched, but he still nodded: “Okay, I will give it to you.”

“No need, no need. Wait for me to prepare the medicine and take it then.” Yingbao said: “I’m going to the town now, and it’s not appropriate to carry too much silver.”

Chen, who had just spent twenty-five taels of silver, subconsciously looked at Yingbao’s small bag.

It was light, not looking like it was filled with several ingots of silver.

Yingbao said goodbye to Clan Leader Chen and cheerfully left with her mother.

There were already many people on the streets of the town.

The crowd was packed, and the donkey cart couldn’t get in, so it had to be parked on the side of the road for Jiang Cheng to watch.

Therefore, Chunniang carried Yingbao in a bamboo basket and went in with the crowd.

Before every New Year, there are many stalls in the market, even the peddlers who travel from house to house put down their carrying poles on the roadside.

Yingbao picked some toys and also bought a dozen sugar-coated haws, silk flowers, and combs. She also bought two thin-blade knives, two pairs of scissors, and two sets of children’s bows and arrows from a general merchandise stall.

She also saw several sheepskin balls and pigskin balls hanging from a peddler’s shelf and bought two.

These are filled with pig urine, sewn with a pig or sheepskin cover, inflated and tied tightly so kids can play with them. They are more shoe-saving than kicking stone balls and do not hurt the feet. They are just right for the little monkeys at home.

This kind of ball is only sold during the New Year, and it cannot be bought at other times.

Chunniang bought a few pieces of cloth in a cloth shop and asked the shop

assistant to send the cloth to the donkey cart.

Then she went to the grocery store and bought two bags of salt to take back for pickling fish.

Brown sugar, rock sugar, frost sugar corner, fried sugar candies, and cloud piece cakes were also bought in plenty.

One pound per pack, and bought eight packs for each variety. Red paper was pasted on the oil paper packaging outside, with the words “Good Luck.” When visiting someone’s house during the New Year, these are the gifts.

She also bought a lot of mutton, pork, and large roosters. Seeing that someone was selling wild chicken and wild rabbit, she also bought a few of each.

When they returned from the market, the donkey cart was already filled with things.

Yingbao also bought many items, some for mom and dad and her younger brother, and some for other people at home as New Year gifts.

She also went to the pharmacy of Dr. Li’s house and bought many kinds of medicinal materials and spices, and asked the shop assistant to cut them into pieces, some of them were ground into powder with a grinder.

On the way back, Yingbao gave Brother Jiang Cheng a skewer of sugar-coated haws and she and her mother each had one.

The rest will be taken back for her brothers, sisters, and two younger brothers to eat.

Chunniang originally didn’t want to eat her daughter’s snacks, but Yingbao stuffed the sugar-coated haws into her mouth.

“It’s so delicious, mom, you must try it.” Yingbao grinned and took a bite of the sugar-coated haws in her hand, sour and sweet.

Chunniang could only but take the sugar-coated haws and start eating.

Many years ago, her husband had bought her some, and now her daughter is buying them for her.

Holding her daughter in one hand and the sugar-coated haws in the other hand, she felt like she had returned to her youthful days..
