Sweet Wife Is Busy Farming-Chapter 23

Being targeted

After Dr. Liu checked Ding Yao’s pulse, he told Song Xiuyan, “From her pulse, it doesn’t seem like there’s much of a problem. There’s no need to prescribe any medicine. I just need to ensure that she has enough food for three meals. The young lady is malnourished.”

Dr. Liu also knew Song Xiuyan’s family situation. He didn’t know where he had borrowed the money to buy the medicine. How could he have the spare money to buy more tonic medicine?

Ding Yao glanced at Song Xiuyan and was a little dissatisfied. She had already said that she didn’t need to see a doctor, but he refused to listen to her. She had the space of the medicinal field, the spiritual spring pool, and the pills she made. She would be able to heal very quickly. However, Song Xiuyan was very stubborn. He asked Dr. Liu to see if he could cure Ding Yao’s throat. He hoped that she would be able to speak again. He didn’t want her to be laughed at because she was mute.

This time, Ding Yao didn’t object. Although her spiritual spring pool could cure her throat, it was a good idea to see the medical skills of the doctors in this world. Dr. Liu asked Ding Yao to speak. After listening to Ding Yao’s cries, Dr. Liu shook his head. “It has dragged on for too long. The possibility of curing her is almost zero.”

Song Xiuyan was a little disappointed, but Ding Yao looked indifferent. She took the medicine bag and pulled Song Xiuyan out of the pharmacy. As soon as they left, the people in the pharmacy started to discuss. The shop assistant who had just taken medicine for Song Xiuyan and the others said, “Did Dr. Ding’s granddaughter inherit Dr. Ding’s medical skills? She can also treat illnesses and save people? The medicine she took just now seemed to be a prescription she wrote herself. They were all medicinal herbs used to treat injuries caused by injuries. Could it be that she wants to treat Song Xiuyan’s third brother, Song Yi’s leg?”

Another shop assistant added, “That’s really possible. Didn’t they say that Ding Yao cured Song Xiuyan’s second brother, Song Yang?”

This opened up the topic of conversation. The other people in the pharmacy said one after another, “It’s not strange that she can treat snake venom because Ding Yao has the Snake Swallow Stone. However, it’s unlikely that she can treat illnesses and save people. Learning medicine is so complicated that it’s difficult for normal people to learn, let alone a mute...”

“Although Ding Yao is a mute, she looks very smart and beautiful. I heard that Song Xiuyan was quite dissatisfied with Ding Yao before, but now it seems that... Song Xiuyan treats Ding Yao quite well.”

“Exactly. Song Xiuyan’s family is in debt, but he still wants to cure Ding Yao’s muteness. He even wants to prescribe medicine to treat her body, as if it doesn’t cost any money.”

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Song Xiuyan’s gaze toward Ding Yao is especially gentle. Song Xiuyan talks to others coldly, but when he talks to Ding Yao, he’s gentle, as if he’s afraid of scaring her.”

The manager of the pharmacy, Sun Changan, was also there. When he heard these people’s discussions, he couldn’t help but ask, “What did you say just now? What Snake Swallow Stone?”

Those who knew the situation quickly told him about how Ding Yao used the Snake Swallow Stone to save Song Xiuyan’s second brother, Song Yang. Sun Changan widened his eyes and asked, “Is this true?”

“It’s true! I heard it from Ah-jie. Ah-jie was beside them when it happened. He saw Ding Yao take out the stone to save him with his own eyes!” That person said with absolute certainty.

Sun Changan quickly chased after them, but there were too many people to see Song Xiuyan and Ding Yao. One of the shop assistants asked Sun Changan in confusion, “Mr. Sun, why are you looking for Song Xiuyan and Ding Yao? Their medicinal herbs are still stored in our shop. They will come back to get them later.” 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

Sun Changan heard that Song Xiuyan and Ding Yao would come back and let out a sigh of relief. “When they come back to get the medicinal herbs, remember to bring them to see me. I have something to discuss with them.” The Snake Swallow Stone was a treasure that could only be found by chance. Not only could it detoxify snake venom, but it also had a miraculous effect on the bites of other poisonous insects. If their pharmacy had Snake Swallow Stone, not only could it increase their profits, but their reputation could also rise to a higher level. He knew a little about Song Xiuyan’s family situation. They needed money. As long as they were given some more silver, they would definitely sell the Snake Swallow Stone.

Song Xiuyan first brought Ding Yao to buy clothes. He chose two sets of the best quality cotton dresses in the store. He bought two sets of outerwear and domestic wear, which cost more than 600 yuan. The prices were quite expensive, but Ding Yao was quite satisfied. After paying, they were about to leave when a beautiful middle-aged woman in her thirties suddenly blocked their way. Upon closer inspection, the woman’s facial features looked somewhat similar to Song Xiuyan’s.

“Song Xiuyan, so you guys are here.” As soon as the woman opened her mouth, Ding Yao reacted. The woman who spoke was Song Xiuyan’s mother, Shen Lan. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

Song Xiuyan’s expression instantly darkened when he saw Shen Lan. He pulled Ding Yao and was about to walk around and leave.
