He Yufeng was tempted by the fragrance outside, but Su Li had just said that he could only eat light food now. Those spicy things were not suitable for him, so he could only drink chicken soup now.

Although the chicken soup was delicious, it was not as tempting as the fragrance outside!

After eating and drinking his fill, Cheng Yu offered to help wash the dishes. After all, he did not seem to have done anything today. If he was not diligent, he was afraid of being chased away.

Su Li looked at Cheng Yu suspiciously. “You know how to wash the dishes?”

Cheng Yu was speechless. He really didn’t know how to wash the dishes, but he could learn. No one was born with everything.

Su Li saw through his thoughts and rejected him. “If you want to learn how to wash the dishes, go back to your own house. My family’s dishes can’t withstand your experiments.”

She had just bought the bowls at home. If Cheng Yu broke them, it would not be worth it. She was more at ease washing them herself.

Cheng Yu touched his nose awkwardly. “Why don’t I chop firewood for you?”

Su Li sized him up. He was powerless and his hands did not look like someone who knew how to chop firewood.

Cheng Yu puffed out his chest. “Don’t look down on me. I really do. I used to chop firewood at home.”

Su Li nodded. “Then I’ll have to trouble you to chop the firewood.”

Cheng Yu smiled and agreed. Then, he eagerly took the axe and started chopping.

Su Li looked at his excitement and shook her head. This was the first time she had seen someone happy because of work.

After a while, a scream came from the courtyard.

Su Li hurriedly walked out. “What’s wrong?”

Could that guy have split him into two?

“Madam Su…” Cheng Yu sounded extremely aggrieved.

Su Li saw that Cheng Yu’s pants were torn, and there was only some skin that was rubbed on his calf. It was not too serious. It must have been caused by Cheng Yu’s mismanagement just now.

Su Li rubbed her temples. She seriously suspected that Cheng Yu was here to make things difficult for her!

“Stop chopping. Go and apply some herbs!”

T

Cheng Yu said embarrassedly, “I’m really sorry. I just wanted to help you. I didn’t expect to cause trouble for you!”

He had learned to be a doctor since young, so he had never done such work before. What he said just now was just to show off!

He thought that chopping firewood was simple and not complicated, but who knew…

Su Li said, “As long as you’re fine.”

Since he couldn’t chop the firewood, Cheng Yu obediently went to change into another pair of pants. Fortunately, he had brought some medicinal powder with him and applied it.

At night, after everyone fell asleep, Su Li flashed into the interspace.

She then exchanged for some purple kale and chili seeds in the shop. Things on the black soil grew quickly, and two seeds planted on the black soil outside had already sprouted.

The shop could already be upgraded. The materials needed for this upgrade were 18 White Flowers.

The white-flowered shrub is a scaly subbush with thin and weak stems, a woody, multibranched base, a prismatic trough segment with a reddish hue, it has single leaves and its leaves are papery. The base of the leaves are large and connected with enlarged stems, it has ear-shaped inflorescences or axillary, and its bracts are shorter than the calyx which is green in color.

It is also resistant to fertility, suppresses Staphylococcus aureus, slightly suppresses respiratory and blood pressure. It is mainly used to treat rheumatoid joint swelling pain, liniment injury, women’s menstrual closure, liver and spleen swelling, etc.

She had seen this thing before when she went to look for He Yufeng, but she was in a hurry and did not move it into the interspace. It seemed that she had to go up the mountain again.

The next day, the sun gradually rose.

Su Li got up and made breakfast for the few people at home who were crying and waiting to be fed.

Although He Yufeng could also eat normally, the food he ate was very light and plain. Su Li made an extra portion for him.

Today was the day of Sun Yuangui’s follow-up. Su Li exchanged a few words with Cheng Yu and prepared to leave.

Cheng Yu promised Su Li solemnly, “Madam Su, don’t worry. I’ll definitely take good care of the patient.”

That was Su Li’s husband. He had to take good care of him. In the future, if he asked Su Li for guidance, she probably wouldn’t be stingy. Staying behind this time was really the most important decision in his life.

Su Li nodded. “Yes, I believe you!”

With Cheng Yu’s many years of medical experience, taking care of a patient was a piece of cake.

Last night, Cheng Yu had already gotten the carriage driver to go back, so Su Li could only take Old Zhao’s ox cart today.

When she reached the village entrance, discussions broke out again. Some people even pointed at her.

Su Li frowned, clearly very dissatisfied with the fact that people had pointed at her.

As soon as she got on the ox cart, Old Zhao came over with a gossipy expression. “Su Li, I heard that you beat up Dashan’s wife and even extorted 500 copper coins from him!”

Su Li glanced at Old Zhao and said, “Who told you about this?”

Old Zhao said, “Dashan’s mother told us about this. The entire village knows about it now!”

When Su Li saw Old Master Zhao’s eager expression, the corners of her lips could not help but twitch. Did he want to become a disciple and learn to extort money?

Su Li asked, “Do you think he’ll compensate me if I hit his wife? Is he stupid or is his wife stupid?”

Old Zhao stroked his chin and thought for a while. “What you said seems to make sense. If you beat him up, you should be the one paying.”

Su Li gave Old Zhao a look that said, “You’re really smart.”

After receiving Su Li’s affirmation, Old Zhao continued to speak his mind as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

“Was it you who was beaten up? Then Dashan had no choice but to compensate you, but he couldn’t tell anyone that he hit a woman. He felt aggrieved after compensating, so he spread rumors everywhere that you hit her wife and even said that you extorted money!”

Su Li raised her eyebrows. She had to admit that Old Zhao had a rich imagination.

The people in the car also heard the conversation between Old Zhao and Su Li. Everyone stopped talking and pricked up their ears to listen.

Su Li nodded and said, “Master Zhao, you’re really too smart. You guessed the truth with one guess.”

Old man Zhao patted the eaves of the carriage excitedly. “Aiyo, I knew it. He Dashan must be lying. Otherwise, how could he so easily take out the money?”

The person beside him nodded in agreement. “That’s right. I told you just now that something was wrong. Dashan is so strong. Why would he casually take out the money?”

“That’s right. Dashan’s mother is usually stingy. This 500 copper coins is not enough to take her life. Their family must be guilty and took out the money.” Old Zhao rolled his eyes at them. “That’s not what you said just now!”

“Aiya, we didn’t find out the truth just now!”

“That’s right, that’s right. We were all bewitched by Dashan’s mother’s mouth. It’s not like you don’t know that she is especially good at talking.”

The corners of Su Li’s lips curled up.. He Dashan and Wang Jinxue still wanted to spread rumors to slander her reputation? Dream on!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
