C8 Lividum

"Heal her?" Shi Qing turned around and glanced at her with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. With a reluctant expression, he said, "This is my growing period. If you want to make up for it, you have to make up for it for me."

"Your second sister cured that brat's dysentery in Liu Da Zhuang's house. If you have the ability, then your dad will make up for it for you."

His son was getting older and more disobedient, often going to the town with a bunch of bad friends to play around, and he hadn't learned any serious skills yet. His son was getting older and more disobedient, often going to the town with a bunch of bad friends, often going to the town to play around.

Old Man Shi felt a headache coming on and felt helpless at the same time.

"Tsk, she's the only one who can treat dysentery?" Shi Qing twitched his mouth and shook his head with a face full of disdain: "This bullsh * t, only dad would believe it, who in the village would believe her if you asked her?"

"If it's fake, then what's with the cabbages your sister brought back?"

"I don't know who stole it from."

"Don't talk nonsense, your sister isn't that kind of person." Of course, old man Shi knew Shi Xiaorui's personality. How could she be like him?

"How do you know that's not the case? Don't be bored and say nothing. She's a shrewd person, don't be tricked by her."

"There's a saying that says' a person should act like a noble. 'I don't know if you've heard it before." Shi Xiaorui spoke faintly, her gaze shooting straight at Shi Qing, who was unfriendly towards her.

Shi Qing had never studied properly since he was young and often went out to eat and drink with his friends. He didn't even know a few big words, so how could he know what Shi Xiaorui meant by her words?

"What little gentleman? Don't try this on me." Shi Qing waved his hand with disdain.

Seeing how useless his son looked, Old Man Shi could only sigh from the bottom of his heart as he prepared to walk over.

"Dad, if you don't trust me, then take me with you. Don't worry, I won't give you the money, so I'll just follow you and buy meat. Besides, I'm familiar with the town, so I don't know how cheap and fresh the meat is.

Old Man Shi thought about it for a while. Although he felt that something was amiss, what Shi Qing said was not unreasonable. He nodded and said, "That's good."

Shi Qing raised his eyebrows at Shi Xiaorui and revealed a successful smile.

He must be up to something. This old man Shi was an honest man with no sense of foresight. If he went out with him, then he might be tricked by this brat before he even reached town.

With that in mind, Shi Xiaorui called out to the two who were about to leave the house. She looked at them seriously and said, "Father, why travel so far? We can eat later when the New Year comes, and Ah's daughter knows all about it, so it won't be that long."

"But... "But I haven't been able to make up for it for you for quite some time …" Old man Shi also felt guilty.

"It's fine, it's been a long time. There's no rush." Shi Xiaorui smiled.

Seeing that his daughter was so sensible, the guilt in his heart deepened. He touched the bunch of copper coins that he had saved up for a long time and finally let out a sigh, "Alright."

Shi Qing saw that his plan failed, so he naturally couldn't take it anymore. He turned around and his expression immediately changed as he glared at Shi Qing.

This stinking girl, she knew that it was a good thing that she ruined him. One day, he would definitely teach her a lesson!

With that thought in mind, he suddenly heard a series of hurried knocks from outside the door. It was as if raindrops the size of beans had fallen onto the ground.

"Pa Pa Pa!"

Following the knocking on the door, a man shouted from outside, "Brother Shi, Brother Shi, quickly open the door!"

This voice …

Just as Old Man Shi was about to return to his room, he heard this familiar voice. His entire body shuddered and his expression changed to one of anger. He hesitated for a moment before he walked inside.

Shi Qing was confused. He looked at the door, then looked at his father and blinked, "Dad, it's Uncle Liu."

"Kid, what does this have to do with you? Go back to your room!"

Shi Qing stuck out his tongue and quickly slipped back.

Old Man Shi harrumphed and raised his foot to enter the house, but before he could take a few steps, the sound of someone knocking on the door became even louder.

"Brother Shi, brother is begging you to open the gate. Brother, I know I am sorry about your Shi Family, but Brother Shi, you are a loyal person, you wouldn't let our Liu Family end its legacy, right? "

Old Man Liu's voice was particularly shrill, and his sobs were heavy.

Sure enough, the moment he said that, old man Shi immediately stopped. He paused for a moment, and turned back around with an ugly expression. He took a few steps forward and opened the door. It really was old man Liu who had just withdrawn from the marriage.

However, he was no longer as aloof as he was back then. Instead, he had a look of anxiety and loneliness on his face. He looked like an old man, and when the two of them compared to each other, the irony was obvious.

"Brother Shi, I heard everyone in the village say that Xiaorui cured Liu Dazhuang's son's dysentery. Is that true?"

Even though old man Shi was angry at what their Liu Family had done, he could tell from the anxious look on his face that something was serious. He nodded, "That's right."

"Ouch, where's Xiaorui? Where's Xiaorui?" Old Man Liu couldn't wait to get inside. He looked around anxiously, looking for Shi Xiaorui.

When he saw Shi Xiaorui standing in the yard, his eyes lit up. He shook her off and went over to grab onto Shi Xiaorui's arm.

Xiaorui, Xiaorui, I know that I have let you down with the marriage, let you down with your Shi Family, now that Wenchang is in trouble, it's useless for me to look for a lot of teachers, I really have no other way so I came to find you, if you can save Wenchang's life, then I, Old Man Liu, will immediately have you marry!

Ever since they went back, Wenchang had been bedridden and had many rashes. He invited all the famous teachers in the town over, but when they saw him, they ran away in panic. They didn't even want the doctor's fee anymore.

Only after he begged bitterly did he receive the words of one of the teachers. However, when he opened his mouth to ask for backup plans, nothing else could be asked.

In desperation, he heard that Shi Xiaorui cured Liu Dazhuang's son's dysentery, so he came here to make a bet.

Shi Xiaorui's lips curled up into a sneer as she listened to his narration. Liu Wenchang's situation was entirely under her control.

However, hearing Old Man Liu's' tempting 'conditions, she scoffed: "I'm sorry, I don't need Liu Wenchang right now. Whether he's dead or alive has nothing to do with me.

Hearing this, Old Man Liu's hand holding her arm became sluggish. He didn't expect that she would be like this, but Liu Wenchang was still in a life or death situation. He had a favor to ask, so he could only soften his tone.

"I know that our Liu Family has let you down, Xiaorui, you are a big shot, now that your life is in danger, don't bother about it."

"I'm sorry, but I, Shi Xiaorui, have never been one to take revenge."
