“But after prolonged use, there will be drug resistance. That’s why it doesn’t seem effective now because drug resistance has developed,” Bai Jiang said.

“Moreover, in traditional Chinese medicine, we emphasize treating the root cause. These topical treatments are superficial. As long as you continue to take the medicine I prescribed, you will be cured within ten days,” Bai Jiang said confidently.

The woman looked at Bai Jiang doubtfully. That was true, but she still did not dare to stop using the cleaning agents.

She had stopped using them recently, and the itching symptoms had become worse.

“Alright, if you don’t believe me, why don’t you stop taking the medicine for a day? Take my medicine today, and see if you experience the same symptoms tonight,” Bai Jiang suggested calmly.

According to modern medicine used to treat gynecological inflammation, the process was slow, and some couldn’t even cure the condition within two to three years.

On the other hand, the medicine prescribed by Bai Jiang could guarantee immediate effectiveness, which was why she confidently made this statement.

“Okay, I’ll stop using it today and take your medicine!” the woman agreed with a cheerful smile as she received the two catties of fruit from Bai Jiang.

She had initially come to Bai Jiang for the fruit. She had never thought that her gynecological inflammation to be completely cured.

Nevertheless, she thought she could endure just one day without using the cleaning agents. She decided to see if Bai Jiang’s medicine would truly be effective. If it didn’t work, she could always come back to her usual treatment.

With joy, the woman took the fruit and prescription and went to the nearest pharmacy to get the medicine.

Because of the previous successful cases, more and more people started consulting Bai Jiang, and soon she ran out of fruit.

She closed her stall and brought everything back home.

Although she didn’t earn as much money as the previous day, her reputation had soared. She believed that by tomorrow, even more people would seek her for consultations.

As Bai Jiang prepared to leave, a car stopped in front of her.

A middle-aged man stepped out of the car. It was the butler who had purchased fruit from Bai Jiang the day before.

“Miss, I wonder if you still have those fruits? I need a large quantity,” the butler said anxiously.

Bai Jiang raised an eyebrow. “Uncle, those fruits are indeed good, but I don’t recommend consuming them in large amounts.”

“Miss, you’ve misunderstood. I won’t be consuming these fruits myself. I need them as ingredients for making medicine. My family member is sick, and I require these two fruits specifically for medicine. Can you sell me more?” the butler explained.

Without waiting for Bai Jiang’s response, he continued, “If possible, I’d like to establish a long-term arrangement with you. I need 300 catties of lemons and 300 catties of waxberries every month.”

So many? Bai Jiang was taken aback.

The lemons and waxberries on the mountain were fully ripe. It was estimated that there were a few thousand catties of them. This middle-aged man had made a convenient reservation.

Bai Jiang pondered for a moment and replied, “I could only provide for two months. I needed to keep some waxberries and lemons for medicinal purposes.”

Upon hearing this, the butler became even happier. He said, “If possible, I would like to purchase the dried waxberries and lemons as well.”

“Of course, I won’t take them for free. One catty of lemons, you sell it for 100 RMB per catty, and the processed ones will be sold to me for 300 RMB per catty. The price for waxberries will be three times higher. How does that sound?”

“Deal!” Bai Jiang agreed readily. No one would refuse the money.

“By the way, since you need a considerable quantity, I will deliver the goods to your doorstep when they are ready. Where do you live?” Bai Jiang asked.

The butler pointed towards the villa across the river. “I live there.”

A trace of surprise flickered in Bai Jiang’s eyes. This person was from the Xiao family!

“Alright, I will get everything prepared and send it to you later,” she said.

Upon saying that, Bai Jiang left immediately.

The butler looked at Bai Jiang’s back and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

When most people heard about the villa across the river, they would more or less want to get some benefits, not to mention raising the price.

He didn’t expect Bai Jiang to handle it so casually, which made him view her in a new light.

Bai Jiang pondered for a while and decided to hire some villagers to pick fruits on the back mountain. They would be paid 80 RMB a day, with meals provided. However, she was unsure who to ask for help.

As she passed the village chief’s house, Bai Jiang decided to seek advice from the village chief.

When the village chief’s wife saw Bai Jiang, a smile immediately appeared on her face as she approached and shook her hand. “Bai Jiang, you’re here?”

“Did your mother tell you? I have watched you grow up. I always knew you would accomplish something. Thank you for coming.”

Before Bai Jiang could fully grasp the situation, she wondered what her mother had told her.

After asking a few questions, she learned that the village chief’s wife was upset because her son and daughter-in-law had been married for five years without being able to conceive.
