Wang Qiang took out the prescription. “Uncle Gu, this was the prescription left by the female doctor.”

As Gu Chen examined the herbs, a surprised expression appeared on his face. The more he looked at the herbs, the more surprised he became.

“This prescription is daring! These ingredients are poisonous. She gave them to you directly,” Gu Chen said.

“Poisonous? Are you, old man, not wishing for my recovery? You agree that I’ve improved, but now you say it’s poison?” Wang Li became annoyed upon hearing this.

Gu Chen snapped back to reality. “It’s not that I don’t want you to get better. This Chinese medicine is indeed poisonous, but…”

He quickly understood that although this medicine was poison, it was a valuable remedy for his heavily damaged heart.

It could stimulate the heartbeat, but the stimulation was not intense, rather gentle.

“Wonderful, truly wonderful! This prescription is truly remarkable,” Gu Chen said, stroking his chin in admiration.

Upon hearing this, Wang Li was delighted and couldn’t stop smiling. “How about that? This girl is more skilled than you, isn’t she? Skilled enough to prove that you’re not a quack!”

It was only a joke to call Gu Chen a quack. The two of them had grown up together. One had dedicated his life to education, while the other had dedicated his entire life to traditional Chinese medicine.

Their relationship was very close. The word “quack” was just a joke.

“Hey! What’s wrong with you? Why are you speaking so harshly?” Gu Chen coldly huffed.

Wang Qiang couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the situation.

Hearing Wang Qiang’s laughter, Gu Chen came back to his senses and asked, “Wang Qiang, what’s the name of this doctor? How old is she? Where did she learn traditional Chinese medicine? Where is she located?”

“She appears to be in her twenties, very young. She lives in Ancient Wind Village. I didn’t ask her where she studied traditional Chinese medicine,” Wang Qiang patiently answered Gu Chen’s questions.

“Are you admitting that your skills are inferior and wanting to become her disciple?” Wang Li teased Gu Chen.

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Gu Chen scowled at him in disapproval.

Bai Jiang didn’t know anything about what happened to Wang Li’s home. After she left their house, she went straight home.

When she returned home, she saw Bai Zhen. There was a big black dog standing beside her. About two steps away from Bai Zhen, Bai Jiang saw Gou Sheng.

“Baby, Gou Sheng, it’s so late. Why are you standing here?” Bai Jiang quickly walked forward and squatted down to ask.

Bai Zhen rubbed her eyes. “Grandpa said Mommy went out to save someone, and I couldn’t sleep alone. I thought of waiting for Mommy here.”

Hearing Bai Zhen’s words, Bai Jiang’s heart melted with tenderness.

She touched Bai Zhen’s forehead. “Baby, grandpa, and grandma were also at home. If Mommy went out to treat someone in the future and didn’t come back until late, you could sleep with grandpa and grandma.”

“But I just wanted to wait for Mommy,” Bai Zhen pouted.

Bai Jiang couldn’t help but laugh. She took out two candies from her bag and handed them to Gou Sheng. “Gou Sheng, thank you for staying with the baby so late.”

“Thank you, Auntie. I’m a man, and I must protect my sister,” Gou Sheng replied, accepting the candies with a smile on his face.

“Alright, it’s already very late. You should go back and sleep,” Bai Jiang said with a smile.

Originally, Bai Zhen wanted to tell Bai Jiang about today’s interesting incident, but before Bai Jiang could take a shower, she fell asleep.

The next morning, when she woke up, Bai Jiang was no longer in bed.

“Mommy went to work early in the morning again. Can’t she take a rest?” Bai Zhen sighed as she spoke.

She knew her mother was busy earning money, and she earned money to pay for her treatment. But she couldn’t help but worry about her mother.

When Bai Zhen finished washing up and arrived at the dining room, she saw that the table was filled with her favorite breakfast. The little depression in her heart disappeared.

After finishing breakfast, Bai Zhen went next door to find Gou Sheng and play together.

“Brother Gou Sheng, let’s go play over there today,” Bai Zhen pointed in a direction.

Gou Sheng nodded. He was familiar with the village, and Bai Zhen wouldn’t get lost if she was with him.

The two children held hands and ran to the river.

Of course, both children remembered Bai Jiang’s teachings. They knew not to get too close to the river. If they fell, they would drown.

As they were nearing their destination, Bai Zhen spotted a child squatting not far away, seemingly observing something.
