Chapter 319: Hurry and Call me “Sister”

Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

Lu Jiao felt embarrassed. She smiled and said, “Grandma Liu, don’t be too excited. I am a doctor, and as long as I can treat him, I will definitely do my best to cure him. Don’t worry, sit down and listen to me slowly.”

Grandma Liu and Grandpa Liu sat down. Liu Ziyan still found it hard to believe that Lady Lu could really cure his illness. Was this real? He won’t have to be afraid of the cold and he won’t get sick in the future?

Liu Ziyan felt a little uneasy.

Lu Jiao said, “Because this illness has been going on for too long, though it can be cured, it will take a long time and a lot of money.”

Lu Jiao didn’t finish her sentence when Grandma Liu on the side excitedly said, “Lady Lu, you just need to treat him without worrying about money. As long as you can cure my grandson’s illness, even if we lose everything, I will pay for his treatment.”

Grandpa Liu nodded vigorously and said, “Yes, we have the money. We have money at home. As long as we can cure Ziyan’s illness, no matter how much money it costs, I am willing to spend it.”

Lu Jiao looked at the two elders and could tell from their words that the Liu family seemed to have no shortage of money.

She looked at this family – they were composed of the old and the weak and they lacked servants. Despite this, they were saying that they had no shortage of money. What did this mean? It meant that the Liu family was no ordinary family.

Lu Jiao thought about it and smiled, “Okay, let me first talk about the treatment plan. This treatment consists of three steps. The first step is to get acupuncture. The second step is to do herbal baths. This is mainly to warm and replenish the kidney, and expel the cold inside the body. The third step is to drink medicine. Brewed medicine will not only warm and replenish the kidneys but also expel the cold and refresh the blood. It helps soothe the body.

We will try this treatment plan for a month to see the effects. Later, I will adjust the prescription accordingly.”

Lu Jiao finished and looked at the Liu family and asked, “Do you think this is feasible?”

“Yes, yes, we will do as Lady Lu says.”

Grandma Liu finished and turned to Liu Ziyan and said, “Ziyan, call her sister.

From now on, Lady Lu is your sister.’

In the living room, Xie Yunjin, Lu Jiao, and Liu Ziyan were all stunned.

Grandma Liu urged, “Ziyan, I am talking to you.”

Liu Ziyan was a sixteen-year-old young man, and his skin was relatively thin. He blushed when Grandma Liu urged him.

He glanced at her, “Grandma, I don’t even know if Lady Lu is okay with that.”

Lu Jiao immediately interjected, “Why would I not want that? From now on, you can call me sister.”

Liu Ziyen immediately looked at Lu Jiao and shouted, “Sister.”

On the side, Xie Yunjin’s face was unhappy. In the blink of an eye, Lu Jiao had become Liu Ziyan’s sister.

However, Liu Ziyen was a well-behaved person. After calling Lu Jiao “sister,” he immediately turned his head and looked at Xie Yunjin, “Brother-in-law.”

This “brother-in-law” made Xie Yunjin happy, and his face grew pleasant.

Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu looked at the situation in front of them with joy and then turned to Lu Jiao and said, “Jiaojiao, when Ziyan’s illness is cured, we will hold a feast to formally recognize you as his sister.”

Lu Jiao thought that the Liu family was just calling her that casually. She did not expect that Liu Ziyan would officially recognize her as his sister. She immediately said apologetically, “Grandma Liu, there’s no need to be so polite.”

“No, if you cure Ziyan, you would be his savior. It’s better for him to recognize you as his sister, so this feast is a must.”

Lu Jiao quickly changed the subject and said, “Ziyan, let me give you acupuncture first. Later, I’ll give you a prescription for the herbal baths and a prescription for brewing. But after you buy all the ingredients, bring them to me for me to do a check.”

The Liu family immediately agreed. Lu Jiao asked them to bring the medicine to her so she could add spiritual water to the medicine. Without it, the medicine would not be as effective. Even if it was taken for three months, it might not be able to restore his body to its original state.

Lu Jiao began to give Liu Ziyan acupuncture, and Xie Yunjin accompanied her. After a joss stick burned out, Lu Jiao withdrew the silver needles and went to the backyard to write two prescriptions, one for the bath and one to be brewed.

Feng Zhi handed the two prescriptions to the two elderly. They were excited and left to get the medicine from Baohe Tang. This was because Feng Zhi had told them that the Baohe Tang had the most complete selection of medicinal herbs. Other pharmacies might not have all the herbs they needed, which would be troublesome.

The two elders did not think much about it and went to the Baohe Tang to get the medicine.

When Manager Li saw the handwriting on the prescription, he immediately recognized it to be Lu Jiao’s. He promptly gathered all the herbs according to the prescription and gave them to the two elderly Liu grandparents. They happily returned to Lu Jiao’s house to have her check the herbs before they used the medicine. Then they took the other prescription back home.

Lu Jiao added spiritual water to the medicine that Liu Ziyan needed to drink and then had Feng Zhi deliver it to the Liu familv.

In the afternoon, Lu Jiao planned to go to Baohe Tang to ask Zhao Lingfeng about her farmland when Zhao Lingfeng unexpectedly came to visit with Qi Lei.

When Xie Yunjin’s rented room heard the commotion, he came back with Lin Dong.

“Is owner Zhao here to see his daughter?” Xie Yunjin asked, looking wary like a wolf.

Zhao Lingfeng was a little speechless at Xie Yunjin’s attitude. He didn’t want to offend him since his daughter was currently staying at his place and Lu Jiao was clearly protective of her husband.

Zhao Lingfeng smiled and said to Xie Yunjin, “Yes, master Xie isn’t busy these days?”

Lu Jiao ignored the banter between the two men and asked Qi Lei, “Did you have any questions about the medical journal I gave you earlier?”

Qi Lei smiled and took out the journal. He carefully asked Lu Jiao a few questions, and Lu Jiao patiently explained the answers to him.

Zhao Lingfeng asked Xie Yunjin to take him to see his daughter.

Xie Yunjin was quite comfortable with Qi Lei. After all, he was Lu Jiao’s apprentice and there was no reason to be worried.

He got up and led Zhao Lingfeng to the place where the children were having classes. They had not even reached the room when they heard the children talking.

“Oh dear, I sewed the fabric together.” “Why is mine crooked?”

“Mine too, it’s sewn over there.”

The children were having their first sewing lesson, and Ms. Shi asked them to sew a square-shaped pocket with a needle and thread. As a result, some of them had sewn the fabric into a ball, while others had sewn the pocket on the wrong side. Among them, Hu Lingxue performed the best.

Although Hu Lingxue was only five years old, she was born into the Hu family and had a grandmother who valued traditions. Therefore, despite her young age, she had already been taught how to sew. This lesson was not a problem for her.

After Ms. Shi looked at the pocket that Hu Lingxue had sewn, she praised her and said, “Look at the pocket that little Hu Lingxue sewed, it’s so good.”

The other four children immediately went over to take a look and praised Hu

Lingxue, “sister Xiaoxiao, you’re so good at this.”

“Yes, sister Xiaoxiao is a good person and is good at sewing.”

Even Han Dongsheng and Han Nanfeng agreed and nodded their heads, “Yes.”

Zhao Yuluo saw this and became angry. she pouted and crossed her arms to stare at the children in the room.

“What’s so great about sewing a pocket? Our family has an embroiderer, I don’t need to sew pockets at all! Hmmph!”
