Shi Cui was surprised but dared not ask further. After all, she knew a line was behind her, and Su Binglan was very busy. Hence, Shi Cui did not say much and revealed her five coins. “I-I’ll buy the ointment.”

She stuttered because she was too excited. Then she paid the five coins Ding Wan had lent her to Su Binglan. Shi Cui felt a little dazed when she handed over the five coins as Su Binglan’s words kept echoing in her mind.

‘My hand will be okay in just a few days?’

Su Wenxiu took the copper coins, grabbed the ointment according to his sister’s prescription, and gave it to Shi Cui. The older woman’s expression did not surprise Su Wenxiu as everyone had the same look in their eyes whenever they bought medicine. He also knew Shi Cui would be zrateful to Su Binglan after recovering.

“Be careful not to get your hands too wet these next few days,” Su Binglan advised. She told Shi Cui about things she should take note of, and Shi Cui listened attentively.

Shi Cui was still in shock after leaving. She lowered her head and asked herself,

“Will my hand be okay in a few days?”

The passing villagers saw her expression when she came out. Someone asked, “You can’t believe it, Shi Cui? Hahaha.’

“Yeah, my hand has been like this for a year and has become quite severe, but Miss Su said I’ll be fine in a few days after applying some ointment. That’s incredible.”

An older lady waved and said, “There’s nothing strange about it except that it’s magical. I had trouble hearing before, so my condition was slightly more severe.

“I heard older adults often develop hearing problems, but I had Miss Su treat me last time. After taking several doses of her medicine, I could hear better three days later. It’s been a week, and I can hear much clearer now. I can even hear you.” The older lady smiled.

Shi Cui had not spoken to the villagers for a long time, so she did not know these things. She was shocked after hearing the older lady’s story.

After expressing her thanks, Shi Cui hurriedly ran home to apply the ointment.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan continued treating her patients, and a few people who had visited her last time returned. One of them was Miss He. She looked at Su

Binglan gratefully and said, “I feel much better and full of energy now, Miss Su. I’m no longer as weak as before.

“My friends also said I look much better. Thank you, Miss Su. I wouldn’t feel this healthy if you didn’t consult me and prescribe the medicine.”

Su Binglan had also cured Lin Chai’s stutter. He was more willing to talk and chatted with the villagers daily. In the meantime, he had been looking for a job.

In the past, he worried about his wife’s health and that she would fall and faint. Since Miss He’s health had improved, she did not need her husband to worry as she could care for herself and the children at home.

Su Binglan took Miss He’s pulse and nodded, “Yeah, you’re much better now. You haven’t finished your medicine, have you?”

“No, I haven’t finished them yet.”

“Okay, continue taking them. Your body will be perfect after a few more days.

You will be healthy and strong.”

Miss He became misty-eyed as she listened to these words. She kept thanking Su Binglan.

Su Binglan waved and said, “You must pay attention to your daily diet and keep up with your nutrition. You can’t starve yourself.”

Miss He nodded thoughtfully. “Yes, I will eat well, Miss Su. Then I’ll have more strength and can do more things.”

She wanted to ask Su Binglan it the totu factory was still hiring and it she could work. However, she knew that Su Binglan had already provided her and her husband with medical services to help them.

She could not ask and make things difficult for Su Binglan. Therefore, Miss He hesitated and said nothing, but Su Binglan looked into Miss He’s eyes and knew what she was thinking.

She also knew things had been tough for Miss He and Lin Chai. Moreover, the couple had three sons. She asked, “Miss He, do you know needlework?”

Miss He nodded. “Yes, Miss Su. I make all my family’s clothes by myself. I also make all their shoes.”

She could have made more clothes and shoes to sell in town if it were not for her poor health.

Su Binglan had an idea. “Hmm, yes.”

Although Miss He had suspected why Su Binglan would ask this, she would not say anything. Miss He left after thanking Su Binglan because she still had people to see and things to do.

Although Li Shi was driving the oxcart to Su Teng Village, he dared not go too fast for fear of making his mother uncomfortable. Hence, it was already past noon when the Li family arrived.

Many people were standing in line, and the seats inside were full, so the trio had to queue up at the back.

Mr. and Mrs. Li were shocked. “We didn’t know there would be this many people.”

“My boss’s medical skills are excellent, to say the least,” Li Shi said, “The medicine she provides is cheap, so that’s why there are so many people here.”

While the trio stood in line, the Su Teng villagers looked at them and asked,

“You three aren’t from here, right?”

“We’re from Northern Song Village,” Li Shi replied.

“Oh, I know. Your village is the only one with an oil mill among the eight surrounding villages. Everyone goes there to get oil.

Mr. and Mrs. Li nodded carefully. They still felt very restrained in this unfamiliar village. However, they passed a few villages along the way and realized that Su Teng Village was the most unique among the rest.

Although the weather was cold, many villagers gathered to chat in groups of twos and threes at the village entrance. Everyone was smiling, and no one was frowning. Even when the trio asked for directions, the Su Teng Villagers would give directions to them enthusiastically.

The older couple knew the customs in Su Teng Village were outstanding.

Li Shi had always helped in town but had never been to Su Teng Village, so he did not know how things worked there. His first visit there this time left a profound impression on him.

He felt Su Teng Village’s lively atmosphere and was pleased. Everyone’s mental outlook was different here.

A woman from Su Teng Village looked at Li Shi’s parents and said smilingly, “Don’t worry. Our very own Miss Su is a kind young lady. Her medical skills are outstanding, and her medicine is cheap.”

The Su Teng Villagers added enthusiastically, “Although you’d have to pay for a consultation since you’re from another village, it’s still much cheaper than elsewhere. It’s only two extra copper coins.”

Mr. and Mrs. Li only started to relax after hearing this.

Su Binglan was surprised to see Li Shi when it was the trio’s turn for consultation. “Oh, Li Shi. Who did you bring with you?”

“Hello, Boss. These are my parents,” Li Shi explained, “I took the day off to go home last night. My parents aren’t doing well, so I brought them here for a consultation.”

He had been working alongside Su Binglan and knew her personality well. He knew she liked to be straightforward and not beat around the bush, so he quickly clarified things.

‘I’ll spare my boss the details since she’s so busy.’

Su Binglan quickly understood the situation and said to Mr. and Mrs. Li, “You can sit here while I take your pulse..”
