The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl - Chapter 301 - Chapter 301: Chapter 297: Incomprehensible Human Speech_1

Chapter 301: Chapter 297: Incomprehensible Human Speech_1
Chui Zhaochen smiled and said, “Young doctor, you can ask for as many medicinal herbs as you need. After all, preparing these medicines is not a matter of a single day or night. We do not intend to exploit you.”

Yingbao felt relieved but remembered something else and said to Chui Zhaochen, “I need peace and quiet to prepare medicines. I cannot be disturbed by anyone. If Chen Tiantian continues to harass me for no reason and wastes the herbs, it won’t be my fault.”

Chui Zhaochen thought for a moment and said, “The girl with surname Chen was originally sent here by Master Xiao. She has no significant connection with our doctor. However, I will relay your request to him.”

“Alright then.” Yingbao thought, Master Xiao and Xiaomo were two peas in a pod, none of them were up to any good.

In the following days, apart from studying the Healing Prayer Technique, she spent her remaining time preparing medicines in the newly opened pharmacy.

Ya Sen even sent two teenage students to help her grind and steam the herbs.

These two students did help at first, but soon began making frequent mistakes.

If they weren’t mixing up the herbs, they were adding other herbs into the freshly brewed medicine.

After advising them several times and seeing them continue to act in their own way, Yingbao started to suspect something.

Upon their next mistake, Yingbao rushed to call Ya Sen over and pointed to the large pot of herbal liquid and said, “This is the fifth time they have added the wrong herbs. Because of them, my precious herbs have been wasted and I no longer have enough to make medicines.”

Upon hearing this, Ya Sen immediately turned to the two students and asked with knitted brows, “What is going on here?”

The two students turned pale and made excuses. “She’s lying! She was the one who prepared the medicine. We merely did as she instructed.”

Yingbao sneered, “Is that so? Then explain why there are raw aconitum in the medicine?”

She walked over to the pottery pot, scooped out some herbs, found several pieces of raw aconitum, and gave them to Ya Sen to examine. “Sir, could you please check what this is? This pot was meant for internal medicine, but they added raw aconitum, which is an external medicine. What are they really up to?”

Anyone with medical knowledge would know that both raw and processed aconitum are extremely toxic and are mainly used as external medication. Even for internal use, the dosage must be carefully controlled.

The fact that these students added medicine into the pot for internal use was no less than an attempt to poison someone.

Ya Sen was furious and was rendered speechless for a moment.

Finally, he called for several medical guards and had the students taken away for interrogation.

Yingbao’s medicine preparation was halted because she ran out of herbs.

The next day, Ya Sen had someone deliver a batch of medicinal herbs as a compensation.

He also informed her that the two students had been expelled.

Yingbao was not surprised.

Those who dared to tamper with the medicine were destined for this outcome.

It was a shame though, the students wanted to stand up for Chen Tiantian, but ended up ruining themselves.

That Chen Tiantian really couldn’t stay out of trouble, she even managed to get two students to take risks for her.

Yingbao shook her head and started preparing medicine again.

It was good not to have help. She could do everything herself and secretly process some herbs for herself.

Summer harvest season soon arrived.

Zhou Wuchang gave Yingbao a few days off to assist with agricultural work.

So, she happily went home with her second cousin.

The deer at home had already adapted to the environment, and some of them had been adopted.

Chen Zhu’s family adopted Yaoyao, who they took out to graze every day.

Chen Yin’s family also adopted a deer, which they treated as a lucky charm.

Huzi and Jiang Wu didn’t adopt anything. They were constantly arguing over who should ride the horse.

Because the horse Yingbao was raising had grown into a magnificent war horse and it attracted their attention more than the unridable deer.

“Sister, do you want to ride too?” Jiang Wu sat on the warhorse and asked his sister smugly, “I can take you.”

Yingbao didn’t need him to take her, she could ride well by herself, “No, I’ll ride after you finish your round.”

Jiang Wu, her younger brother, was very skilled due to years of martial arts training. He was taller than most children of his age, and matched Yingbao in height.

Red Date Horse, snorting through his nostrils, nuzzled against Yingbao. After receiving a piece of honey candy wrapped in a package from his young owner, he scattered his hooves and ran off.

Yingbao stood watching for a while, then ran off to see Niuniu, the little girl from the Chu Family.

Niuniu was seven or eight months old, able to crawl around. She crawled from the mat to the ground, using her tiny hands to play with the soil.

Upon seeing Yingbao, she paused, then swiftly crawled towards her.

Yingbao twitched the corners of her mouth, used a handkerchief to wipe Niuniu’s drool, teased her for a while, and said to Chuchu, “Don’t let her play with mud, it can cause worms in her stomach.”

There were worm eggs in the soil, and a child can easily put them in their mouth by accident, which could quickly hatch inside their stomach.

Niuniu was still so small, she could not take strong medication, so treatment would be rather troublesome.

Chuchu responded, quickly washing her daughter’s hands and face and changing her clothes.

Yingbao left a box of milk cakes for Niuniu, then went to find her second cousin in the orchard.

The loquats, peaches, apricots in the orchard were ripe, and some of the grapes were mature, but the pears and apples would have to wait another month or two to be harvested.

Yingbao discreetly watered the seedlings of litchi, longan, and papaya in the orchard with Pupil Spring, then joined her second cousin in picking the fruit.

Because the production of preserved fruit was tiring and not profitable, Jiang Quan no longer did it, and instead used good quality preserved fruits from other houses.

But the seasonal fresh fruit they sold in their stalls was still popular, so the fresh fruit business had to continue.

Soon, Dani and her younger sister also came to help, picking fruit and gossiping about the village with Yingbao.

“Chen Zhao’s father came back the day before yesterday.” Dani’s sister said, “He beat Chu Man as soon as he got home.”

Yingbao curiously asked, “Why?”

“Chu Man pinched Xubao all over his body and even used a needle on him. She was caught red-handed by Chen Zhao and still denied it. Now that her father is back, Chen Zhao reported her.” Dani’s sister picked a ripe peach, peeled it, and bit into it. The juice spilled out, sweet, and refreshing.

Yingbao also picked a ripe one and slowly peeled it.

She was hearing for the first time that Chen Changping hit his wife.

Last time, she and Chen Wan were almost beaten to death by the Han Family, but he had never said a word.

Dani’s sister continued, “Chu Man is ruthless. After the beating, she went and scratched Chen Zhao’s face.”

Yingbao:…

No wonder she hadn’t seen Chen Zhao since she returned. It turns out he was fighting with his stepmother.

“Yingbao, you don’t know. Chu Man is strange. When Chen Changping was not at home, she often went to the school to find Li Xu’s mother for work and even made shoes for Li Xu, which greatly upset Li Xu’s mother.”

Dani’s sister said, “Li Xu’s mother has sought your father several times to ask him to handle it.”

Yingbao held her forehead. “Did my father handle it?”

Dani’s sister nodded, “He did. He went to Clan Leader Chen for intervention, but it didn’t work.”

There seemed to be something wrong with Chu Man’s head. She clearly didn’t understand other people’s words.

No sooner had she been scolded by the clan leader and her in-laws than she went to the school again, causing great distress to Li Xu and his mother.

Yingbao furrowed her brows.

This Chu Man was indeed a character.

Not only were her behaviors strange, but she also lacked any sense of shame.

She cannot be allowed to harm Li Xu.

Li Xu was going to take the official examination in the future. If his reputation was damaged by this woman, his life would be ruined.

After pondering for a while, Yingbao picked up the half-basket of peaches and headed for the academy.
