Once the workers finished moving and settled the payment, Qi Yuan closed the courtyard gate.
Shi Song couldn't help but ask, "Who did this? How did it get sealed? All I found was Rice Flour, what else is there?"
Yu Chunmiao shook his head vigorously, "I can't say. If I do, our family will have to compensate."
Qi Chong explained, "We have a contract with the buyer. If another shop has it too, and it turns out that it leaked from us, we might have to pay a hefty sum."
Since that was the case, I decided not to ask further. Shi Song put down his bowl and said, "I came here for something. I want to settle down; do you know what procedures need to be done?"
Chen Ruolan looked troubled. "Shi Brother, normally we would definitely help you with this matter. But for settling down, if you want to buy a Homestead, it has to go through the village chief. You know we don’t get along with him; I’m afraid we can’t assist you."
Qi Fu knew a bit about the village affairs and didn’t push it. "Then I'll just go find him myself; it’s just buying land!"
Suddenly, Yu Chunmiao remembered something and slapped the table. "Yuan Er, hurry and greet Zeng Granny at the village entrance! Today is her day for delivering the fairy grass; don’t let Yang Zhengshan stop her."
Qi Yuan responded quickly, hurriedly putting on his straw hat and heading out.
Shi Song had already noticed Qi Chong's injured leg. "Big boy, can I take a look at your leg?"
Chen Ruolan gratefully replied, "That would be great. Thank you, Shi Brother."
After unwrapping the bandage and scraping off the Bone Paste, Shi Song chuckled twice. "Are you going to see that old rascal Yu Qingbai? Bone Paste is still made by me."
Yu Chunmiao flattered him, "No wonder it works so well! People say that injuries to muscles and bones take a day to heal; it’s only been two months and Qi Chong is almost ready to walk without crutches."
Shi Song examined Qi Chong's leg like Doctor Yu would. Qi Chong felt less pain than before; he merely frowned slightly but endured it.
"Alright, I’ll give you two more needles."
With an injured leg, he was in charge of the needles; Yu Chunmiao didn’t understand much but figured anyone who could extend his dying father’s life for two years couldn’t be wrong.
Within ten minutes of the needles being inserted, Qi Chong felt warmth spreading through his body and began sweating profusely.
Once the needles were pulled out, Qi Chong shook his head and exhaled a breath of stale air. "My injured leg feels warm and itchy."
Shi Song smiled proudly and said, "That’s right! But this isn’t some miraculous method; I’m just helping you open up your meridians and strengthen your bones. You still need to rely on your crutch."
Qi Chong nodded in agreement and glanced at Qi Qin. "Shi Bo Bo, can you check on Qi Qin for me? She has been ill for quite some time. Although she has taken medicine and there’s been some improvement, she still hasn’t fully recovered."
Yu Chunmiao added, "It won’t be free; Qi Chong will pay my Po Po for her consultation."
Shi Song waved his hand dismissively, somewhat displeased. "Oh come on! I've saved up all these years; I won’t take any money for treating your family."
Qi Chong secretly shook his head at Yu Chunmiao; that was just how Shi Song was. If he asked for money, you had no choice but to give it.
He didn't ask, so you mustn't bring it up. After seeing Chen Ruolan, she advised to take it slow and keep a relaxed mindset. She also received a few acupuncture needles, saying it would help significantly during this period.
The family wanted to invite Shi Song for dinner, but he was in a hurry to go to town, saying he would visit another day. Just as Shi Song stepped out, Zeng Granny arrived.
Qi Yuan helped carry the burden while Zeng Granny led a six or seven-year-old child, dressed in tattered clothes, looking thin and pale—clearly malnourished. Ever since Yu Chunmiao said to take as much as needed, Zeng Granny's baskets were always filled to the brim, indicating some weight.
Counting the bundles, there were as many as sixty. Yu Chunmiao invited the two inside, and Chen Ruolan poured some honey water for them. The child’s eyes lit up upon tasting the sweet water and quickly gulped it down.
Zeng Granny took a sip and realized it was sweet too, so she gave the rest to the child. "Here, sixty," Yu Chunmiao said as she handed six strings of coins to her.
Feeling a bit awkward, Zeng Granny asked, "Is that person at the village entrance from your family? I mentioned I was bringing you some herbs, but they wouldn't let me pass."
Yu Chunmiao called Qi Yuan over and said, "You should take Zeng Granny along the back road later, avoiding the village entrance."
