Chapter 179 Budgeting carefully
Xue Ruanruan walked briskly into the General's Mansion, and as soon as she reached the entrance, she heard bursts of laughter and cheerful conversation coming from inside. She curiously peeked out and saw a group of people sitting in the main hall, chatting and laughing together in a very harmonious atmosphere.
"Ruanruan, come here quickly!" A familiar voice rang out; it was her mother calling her. Xue Ruanruan quickly walked to her mother's side and sat down, smiling as she greeted everyone. Everyone responded in kind, expressing their welcome to her.
Then, her mother began to ask her about the past few days and reminded her to take care of herself. Xue Ruanruan answered each question and also inquired about the well-being of her family members.
At this moment, the father spoke up: "Ruanruan, I heard you've gotten into trouble again recently? What happened?" Although his tone was reproachful, his eyes were full of love and worry.
Xue Ruanruan playfully stuck out her tongue and explained, "Oh dear, it's all a misunderstanding! I just wanted to help others..." She recounted the whole story in detail, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Finally, her father patted her on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You still need to be more careful in the future, so as not to worry us. However, you did a very good job this time, helping those in need, and we are very pleased."
Xue Ruanruan nodded, feeling incredibly warm inside. In this cozy family atmosphere, she felt endless love and support.
After a few days apart, the old clan chief looked remarkably energetic and several years younger. Upon seeing Xue Ruanruan, his face crinkled with smiles. Xue Ruanruan stepped forward, affectionately taking the old clan chief's hand and greeting him, "Old clan chief, you look much better!" The old clan chief gently stroked her hand, smiling, and said, "This is all thanks to you, Ruanruan. The prescription you gave me is truly miraculous; after taking it for a while, I feel much more relaxed." Xue Ruanruan modestly shook her head, "Old clan chief, you flatter me. It's all my duty. Seeing you healthy makes me very happy." At this moment, a servant brought in tea. Xue Ruanruan took a cup, sipped it, and exclaimed, "This tea is truly fragrant!" The old clan chief laughed heartily, "This was specially prepared for me; I knew you would like it." Everyone sipped tea and chatted, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.
Xue Ruanruan knew that the old clan chief must have taken the Rongyang Pill she had given him to make him so energetic. After all, she had a divine physician father. "By the way, Ruanruan, there's something I want to discuss with you." The old clan chief suddenly put down his teacup and looked at Xue Ruanruan seriously.
Xue Ruanruan looked up and asked in confusion, "What is it, Elder Clan Chief?"
“Many people in our village are sick, but we don’t have enough doctors. I would like to ask for your help to teach some people medicine so that we can better take care of the villagers’ health,” the old clan chief said earnestly.
Xue Ruanruan was slightly taken aback, then smiled happily, "Of course I'm willing! I also hope to make more contributions to the village."
"Excellent! Then this matter is entrusted to you." The old clan chief nodded in satisfaction.
Xue Ruanruan secretly resolved to teach those who wanted to study medicine well and help them become excellent doctors.
These Nourishing Pills were personally crafted by me! I carefully selected some top-quality, spiritually rich herbs from my spatial storage as raw materials, and then went through a series of complex and meticulous processing and refining processes to create these Nourishing Pills. Each pill contains my care and blessings for the health of cultivators, and I hope they can bring tangible benefits to everyone.
The space is home to a variety of rare herbs, not only numerous and diverse but also possessing astonishing medicinal properties. Through countless experiments and verifications, it was discovered that medicines made from herbs harvested from this space are hundreds or even thousands of times more effective than those made from comparable herbs in the outside world! This astonishing discovery has shaken the entire medical community. Whether treating diseases or enhancing bodily functions, the herbs produced within this space demonstrate unparalleled advantages. This has made the space one of the world's most precious resources, attracting immense attention and fierce competition.
Xue Ruanruan decided to start a medical training class in the village. She would impart her knowledge and experience to those who were interested in learning medicine, teaching them everything from basic theory to practical operation in great detail.
During her teaching, Xue Ruanruan discovered that some of these individuals possessed exceptional talent and potential. She secretly decided to focus on nurturing these individuals, enabling them to become the backbone of the village's future medical services.
At the same time, Xue Ruanruan did not stop her research and exploration of medicine. She delved into the effects of the mysterious herbs in the space, trying to formulate more effective prescriptions.
Thanks to her efforts, the village's medical standards have been significantly improved, and people's health has greatly improved. As a result, Xue Ruanruan has won the respect and love of the villagers.
The Xue clan members gathered at the general's mansion, their faces beaming with smiles, especially the women, whose complexions were rosy and radiant.
Under Xue Ruanruan's careful guidance, the students made rapid progress. Before long, they were able to independently diagnose and treat some common ailments.
One day, a villager rushed to Xue Ruanruan, saying that his wife had suddenly fainted at home. Xue Ruanruan immediately went with him and, after examination, discovered that the patient had been poisoned. She quickly wrote a prescription and sent her students to get the medicine for treatment. With everyone's joint efforts, the patient finally recovered.
This incident made Xue Ruanruan realize that there might be some potential dangers in the village. So, she decided to organize a medical team to regularly visit households to provide free medical checkups and screen for potential health risks.
As the medical team's work progressed, more and more hidden illnesses were discovered and treated in a timely manner. The villagers became increasingly grateful to Xue Ruanruan, and she also gained a great sense of accomplishment in the process.
Tang Shi also became much more cheerful, and a smile was often on her face. However, due to the lingering health problems she developed during childbirth, she never received proper treatment. The health issues left her weak during her postpartum period made it difficult for her to do heavy work, but she couldn't easily find a doctor to treat her, so she could only silently endure the torment of her illness.
No one expected that the tiny pill given by her sister-in-law would have such miraculous effects. Since taking that pill, the ailment that had plagued her for years miraculously disappeared. This seemingly ordinary pill seemed to possess endless magic, restoring her health and vitality.
In the past, she had been tormented by illness, and her body had grown increasingly weak. However, within just a few days of taking that pill, her condition underwent an astonishing transformation. Her previously pale complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, and her mental state improved significantly.
As time went by, the root cause of her illness was completely eradicated, and her body returned to a healthy state. She was overjoyed and deeply grateful for this. She knew that if it weren't for her sister-in-law's pill, she might never have been able to escape the clutches of her illness.
Now, she felt a deep sense of gratitude towards her sister-in-law. At the same time, she became intensely interested in the miraculous pill. She wanted to know: what exactly was the pill made of? Why could it cure diseases that even doctors couldn't treat? These questions lingered in her mind, and she decided to delve deeper into this mystery.
This is truly unexpected! I never imagined my sister-in-law possessed such superb medical skills! Her exquisite techniques and profound medical knowledge have left me in awe. Every time I see her focused expression while treating patients, I can't help but feel deep respect. Perhaps it's because she's been passionate about medicine since childhood, or perhaps it's because of her diligence and constant research; in any case, my sister-in-law has become an admirable doctor. Now, her medical skills have gained widespread recognition and praise, and I feel incredibly proud.
When Tang saw Xue Ruanruan emerging from the blizzard, she was overjoyed and quickly went out to greet her. As she walked, she called out, "Ruanruan, you're finally back!" Her voice held a mixture of worry and joy.
Hearing Tang Shi's call, Xue Ruanruan quickened her pace and walked up to her. She looked at Tang Shi with a smile, but her eyes betrayed a hint of weariness. She said, "Mother, I'm back."
Tang took Xue Ruanruan's hand, looked her over carefully, and said with concern, "Why are you so late coming back? It's snowing so heavily outside, it's not safe for you to be on the road alone!" As she spoke, she gently patted the snowflakes off Xue Ruanruan.
Xue Ruanruan smiled and comforted her, "Mother, I'm fine. I just wanted to buy the things for you as soon as possible." She held up the package in her hand and handed it to Tang Shi, "These are some daily necessities and food I bought. I hope they can help the family."
Mrs. Tang took the package, her eyes brimming with tears of emotion. She held Xue Ruanruan's hand tightly and said, "Ruanruan, thank you. You are such a sensible child. Our family is so blessed to have a daughter like you."
Xue Ruanruan smiled and shook her head, saying, "Mother, this is what I should do. As long as you are happy, I am satisfied." After saying that, she turned around and went into the house, taking out the things from the bundle and arranging them neatly.
Watching Xue Ruanruan's busy figure, Mrs. Tang felt a surge of joy and gratitude. She knew her daughter had grown up, becoming increasingly sensible and resilient. And all of this was because life's trials had made them cherish each other even more.
Xue Ruanruan picked a basket of bright red apples from her spatial storage and pretended to have just returned from shopping. She carefully placed the basket of apples on the table, a satisfied smile on her face. The apples looked incredibly tempting, making one's mouth water.
In the winter of the capital, where had one ever seen such fresh apples? Xue Ruanruan planned to share these apples with her family and neighbors. She first took a few apples to the old clan chief to thank him for his trust and support. The old clan chief took the apples, took a bite, and immediately praised them highly.
"These apples are so sweet and crisp! It's rare to find such fresh fruit in this cold winter. Ruanruan, you're amazing!"
Xue Ruanruan smiled and said, "I picked this from a special place and brought it here especially for you to try."
After leaving the old clan chief's house, Xue Ruanruan went door-to-door delivering apples. Everyone praised the apples' deliciousness and expressed their gratitude to Xue Ruanruan.
"Ruanruan, you are such a kind child, always thinking of us."
"Thank you, Ruanruan, this apple makes me feel warm in winter."
Hearing everyone's praise, Xue Ruanruan felt a warm glow inside. She knew that these apples were not just fruit, but also a token of affection and care.
The apples in the space were freshly picked, red and crisp. In the cold winter of the capital, there was hardly any fruit available, and everyone's eyes lit up with excitement.
These apples were all about the size of a fist, bright red, and looked like little lanterns. They emitted an enticing aroma that made one's mouth water.
The apple's skin is smooth and brightly colored, as if kissed by the sun. A gentle touch reveals the smoothness of the skin and the firmness of the apple.
Pick up an apple, take a bite, and you'll find it crisp and refreshing, with sweet juice filling your mouth, leaving you wanting more.
The old lady's smile grew even more kind, and her eyes were filled with joy and pride. She exclaimed with deep emotion, "This child is truly a lucky star!"
Since their granddaughter was found, many delightful things have happened in the Xue family. Problems that had plagued them for years have been resolved without their knowledge. The family business is thriving, and wealth is flowing in steadily. Moreover, everyone in the family has become more harmonious, filled with laughter and joy. These changes have brought great comfort to the old lady.
She held her granddaughter's hand and said softly, "Child, you are the treasure of our Xue family. It is because of you that the Xue family has prospered so much. We hope you will always be with us and bring more blessings to the Xue family."
The little granddaughter nodded obediently, her eyes shining with determination, indicating that she would continue to work hard and live up to everyone's expectations of her.
The old patriarch had come regarding Xue Yan and his 100,000-strong Xue family army. He told everyone that due to the emperor's incompetence, the Xue family army had been cut off from supplies, plunging them into a predicament. However, the old patriarch brought good news: His Majesty had issued an edict ordering the Xue family army to return to court. Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, but also somewhat puzzled. Why the sudden order for the Xue family army to return? The old patriarch explained that it was because His Majesty had realized his mistake and wished to correct it. Furthermore, His Majesty would reward the Xue family army for their achievements. Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and expressed their gratitude to His Majesty. Finally, the old patriarch reminded everyone to remain vigilant and not let their guard down. Although the situation had improved, caution was still necessary.
Xue Ruanruan knew that these stockpiled grains might become a lifeline for her and her family at some point in the future. Therefore, she would spend some time every day organizing and checking these stockpiled grains in her space to ensure that their quality and quantity were not in problem.
