59 Kind Act

It was unknown if it was because she was affected by Su Xiaoxiao’s words or because she was shocked by Su Xiaoxiao’s aura, but Aunt Fu didn’t retort.

When Su Xiaoxiao brought two white pills and a spoonful of warm water to her mouth, she swallowed them cooperatively.

“That’s more like it.”

Su Xiaoxiao put down her cup in satisfaction.

She had been a little agitated just now not only because she was angry at the patient for not fighting for her life, but also because she thought of Father Su, who had been separated from Madam Chen since he returned from the escort mission. He had yet to walk out of the trauma from back then.

There was also herself. She would never be able to return to the twenty-first century alive. In that world, she was a dead woman.

Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t someone who would stay immersed in negative emotions. She was very good at adjusting.

She quickly returned to the topic. “Aren’t you going to ask what I gave you?”

Aunt Fu’s body warmed up and her words were smooth. However, her attitude was still indifferent.

Aunt Fu said coldly, “What can it be? Do you really think your native method can save people?”

She had seen many country bumpkins, and many of them died from consuming strange concoctions.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t argue with her.

Facts spoke louder than words. With high blood pressure, a person’s body would definitely not feel good. When the medicine took effect later, she would feel comfortable and understand how effective her “native method” was.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “You didn’t mention your illness to Physician Fu, right? Do you feel that headache and dizziness are small matters? Did you sit for too long? Or are you avoiding treatment?”

Aunt Fu said impatiently, “Why are you so talkative today!”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m only talkative because I care about you.”

Aunt Fu said angrily, “Who needs your concern? Is your concern valuable?”

Look at this strange temper. Wei Ting and Jingyi were nothing compared to this woman.

The two of them had cold personalities. Aunt Fu was really grumpy and had a sharp tongue. No wonder her neighbors were afraid of her.

However, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t agree with her.

It was not the first time she had interacted with the Fu family. She originally thought that the quality of the medicinal herbs prepared by Physician Fu was good and that it was not mixed with fake medicine. However, if one paid careful attention, he would discover that Aunt Fu’s ingredients were also top-notch.

Her dry goods were the best in the market, and her weight was also the highest. There was no lack of weight. Instead, she would usually give a bit more.

Physician Fu Lang treated many people and did not earn much money. There was no lack of poor people who could not afford the consultation fee. Aunt Fu, who had a bad temper and scolded her neighbors, did not say anything about this.

Su Xiaoxiao snorted. “I won’t argue with you anymore. I’ll go cook.”

Aunt Fu berated, “You still want to cook at my house!”

Su Xiaoxiao placed her hands on her hips. “I’ve been busy for so long. I’m cold and hungry. What’s wrong with a meal? Hit me if you dare!”

Aunt Fu looked at her splinted legs and was so angry that her wrinkles seemed to be trembling.

Su Xiaoxiao revealed a victorious smile and clapped her hands. “Alright, don’t be angry. Lie down and sleep for a while. It will help the medicine take effect faster.”

Medicinal effects?

Ha!

Did a little girl who sold braised food and snacks really think that a random native method could treat her dizziness for many years?

At most, she believed that this girl did not deliberately poison her, but she did not believe that it would be effective!

Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen and cooked a pot of seaweed and egg porridge. The seaweed was rich in potassium and could help reduce blood pressure. The barley nourished the yin and nourished the kidneys, and it was also good for relieving Aunt Fu’s current symptoms.

In addition, she spread out a few dried plum pancakes for her and Su Ergou to eat.

She would not stand on ceremony with Aunt Fu.

After she washed the pot and returned it to the next door neighbor, she brought a basket of dry goods.

“These are 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. Thinking that she could make a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms for her husband and son at night, she couldn’t bear to reject them.

“If there’s anything, just call out. It’s normal for Doctor Fu to go out for three to five days without returning. Those remote villages don’t have money to earn and the roads are difficult to walk. No one is willing to go. Only Doctor Fu doesn’t mind the mountains and long roads. He’s willing to be a fool!”

Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “Sigh, wasn’t it Aunt Fu who asked him to go? Aunt Fu said that she would rather suffer than let the poor people look down on her.”

The woman recalled that the vicious old woman had indeed never made things difficult for poor patients. Even if she had scolded everyone on the street, she did not reject or chase away patients who could not afford the medicine.

Thinking of this, the woman fell silent.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “In short, I thank you on behalf of Aunt Fu.”

After that, Su Xiaoxiao returned to the Fu family and packed another basket of dried goods to send to another neighbor.

“Aunt Fu said that it has been exposed to too much sun. The weather is so humid. If you don’t eat it, it will spoil. If you don’t mind, you can take it to make soup. It’s very nourishing.”

….

In the evening, Su Xiaoxiao carried a bag of peanuts and left.

Aunt Fu sat on the bed and shouted angrily, “Stupid girl! What did you take again!”

Su Xiaoxiao said confidently, “Medicine and consultation fees!”

Aunt Fu was speechless.

She had been deceived. A country bumpkin had bartered a bag of peanuts for her native concoction. She had suffered a huge loss!

During the night, two unbelievable things happened in the Fu family.

The first thing was that Aunt Fu’s symptoms had eased-her panic and shortness of breath were gone, and her head no longer hurt. Her dizziness had been greatly relieved, and her limbs were no longer numb.

The second thing was that her neighbors, who never interacted with her, suddenly came to her door!

One brought her a bowl of hot chicken stewed with mushrooms and helped her to the toilet.

The other helped her refill the brazier, leaving a pot of fungus soup and a few plum cornbread.

He even said that he would visit her again early!

Aunt Fu felt like she had seen a ghost!

Su Ergou was simple-minded. He only thought that his sister had given Aunt Fu two boards. He didn’t think it was a big deal. As for feeding her medicine, he did not 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 no one could deal with the siblings, he was still nervous if the children did not return.

When he went to the village entrance for the seventeenth time, he finally saw his fat daughter.

“Daya!”

He let out a long sigh of relief, his mood brightening. “Why are you back so late?”

Su Ergou told her what happened at Aunt Fu’s house. “… I extorted a bag of peanuts from her!”

Su Cheng gave his fat daughter a thumbs up. “As expected of my daughter!”

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

….

The three little ones did not see their mother for an entire day and were collectively listless.

When Su Xiaoxiao finally returned, the three of them did not pounce on her immediately. Instead, they entered Su Ergou’s room.

The three of them faced the wall, looking aggrieved.
