The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 141 The Greedy Baby

Madam Jiang started the conversation, and Madam Zhang got a beating. Everyone understood immediately, and they all praised Panpan for being so well-behaved, saying that the eldest daughter of the Xia family was extraordinary.

“Panpan is good, and Madam is good too. However, Madam has developed a few small bumps on her body.” Panpan took out a small bottle from her little purse and opened it: “Madam, just apply some ointment and it will be fine.”

This……

Mrs. Chen looked at Panpan in shock.

She did have small bumps on her body, but they were on her chest. How did the child know?
The key point is that she also gave herself some kind of ointment.

"Madam, please don't be shy. Apply some ointment. It was made by my second aunt; it's a family secret recipe."

Upon hearing this, Madam Chen suddenly remembered that the ointments produced by the Xiao family, the family of Physician Xiao, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, were not so simple.

"Is this a gift for me?" Mrs. Chen stretched out her trembling hand. If she could get her hands on this...

"No, this is for Madam to apply. One application is enough. We can't waste the ointment. Panpan is reluctant to give it to you."

Mrs. Chen... little kid, can you please not speak so directly?

"Is it okay if I pay for it?"

Yes, the items from Physician Xiao's family are rare and highly sought after. Being able to purchase them at a high price is a matter of fate and good fortune.

"No, Panpan only has one box, we can't be greedy and sell it."

Panpan shook her cute little head: "Panpan is a good child and is not greedy for money. The ointment will only be applied to Madam once, and the small bumps will be healed. It would be a waste of money for Madam to buy it. That's not good."

He earnestly tried to persuade himself not to sell and also tried to persuade Mrs. Chen not to buy.

Xia Zhi, who was serving nearby, found it incredibly amusing: she was sure her mistress was incredibly conflicted; she was desperate to sell it for a high price, but also reluctant to part with it.

No one knew how greedy their young lady was. The madam gave her a small storeroom, and even a few coins would be carefully locked in a box before being put into the storeroom. The contents of the storeroom would be checked three times a day.

Whoever bestows the most treasures upon her is her closest relative.

At such a young age, she is not only greedy for money but also very lecherous. She loves good-looking people. No matter who it is, if they are good-looking, she will immediately stick to them and ignore those who are not good-looking.

"Will it really heal after just one application?"

"It will get better, it will get better, you can trust me." Panpan nodded: "Go ahead, go apply it, but don't apply too much, it won't help, and it will just waste my ointment."

Madam Chen truly believed it, took the ointment from Panpan's hand, and went to find a place to change her clothes.

"Mrs. Chen, you actually believe her, she's just a callow child?"

Mrs. Lin, who had been watching from the sidelines, thought Mrs. Chen must be a fool. It was one thing for her to have small bumps on her body, but to actually believe a child's words.

"Give it a try, my little bumps just won't go away."

I've consulted doctors and even imperial physicians, and taken a lot of medicine, but it hasn't worked.

She was surprised that the little girl could tell right away and even gave her medicine.

Give it a try. If it works, that's a blessing for her; if it doesn't, she suffers no loss.

Mrs. Chen took the medicine to the changing room, and Mrs. Lin wanted to say something.

"Your feet smell bad, they really smell bad."

Mrs. Lin's face turned pale instantly, and I really wanted to cover her mouth.

But when she saw Li Xia and Xia Zhi standing behind her, staring coldly at her, and thinking about the beating Madam Zhang had received, she instantly stopped thinking about it.

"You're good-looking, but smelly feet are no good. Here's a packet of medicine. Go home, boil it in water, and soak your feet in it for two days, and they'll be fine."

Mrs. Lin looked at Panpan and wondered, "What kind of child is this?"
Do you think you can win people over by just pulling something out of a small bag?

"Don't you believe me?" Panpan stuffed the medicine packet into her small bag. "Opportunity only comes to those who are prepared. If you don't believe me, then forget it." "I didn't say I don't believe you. You have to tell me how much it costs. I don't like taking other people's things for free."

Mrs. Lin remembered Mrs. Chen's words: It's never wrong to give it a try.

Yes, that's right, she does have smelly feet, it's embarrassing to even talk about it.

However, this illness was incurable, so she had to change her clothes every hour to change her socks.

From childhood to adulthood, she has gone through more socks than clothes.

This was her secret, and she never expected that this brat would blurt it out so easily.

"It's free, it's a gift for you, because you're pretty."

Mrs. Lin felt as if she were being teased by a child.

"No, I can't accept a reward without merit. I don't owe anyone any favors."

Mrs. Lin maintained her last bit of stubbornness.

"Okay, okay, give me whatever you want. I don't know how much it is, just give me whatever you think is appropriate. I don't mind if it's too little or too much."

Madam Lin gritted her teeth and took off a golden hairpin from her hand: "You may not need this now, but consider it as a dowry for you in the future."

"But Panpan is still young, only two and a half years old now. When Panpan gets married, Madam, please remember to come and add to Panpan's dowry."

"Fine, I'll come, I definitely will." Madam Lin was already gritting her teeth. Have you ever seen a two-and-a-half-year-old girl so confidently demanding to add makeup?
Madam Xia is a legend, a shrewd and capable person. This young girl is a rising star who will surpass Madam Xia.

Madam Lin, half-believing and half-doubting, exchanged a gold hairpin for a small packet of medicine. The key point is that she also claimed that the medicine would cure all odors. Was it true or false?

If it's fake, I must become a little person like her and prick her every day!

Honestly, she so casually exposed my secret of many years, and I felt utterly ashamed.

Over there, Madam Chen applied the ointment to the small bumps and instantly felt a slight coolness.

She was surprised.

Yes, ever since this little bump appeared, it has felt burning hot, sometimes stinging and sometimes itchy. I've never felt this cool before.

Therefore, the ancestral secret recipe of Physician Xiao is truly credible!

After applying the medicine, Mrs. Chen came out again and asked Panpan if she wanted to buy the ointment.

"Madam, you really don't need to buy it. Your little bumps will disappear tomorrow."

Panpan thought to herself that if she asked me again, she would have to reluctantly give up her love.

No, no, I have to resist the temptation, after all, I only have one bottle of this ointment.

"Really, it will disappear tomorrow?"

"You believe Panpan, right? Panpan is a good girl and never lies. If she lies, she'll grow a long nose."

Upon hearing these childish words, Madam Chen realized that she herself was quite ill, so how could she have believed them so readily?
When Mrs. Chen saw Mrs. Lin next to her, she felt a little embarrassed.

"This little girl is quite adorable." Seeing that Madam Chen was looking over, fearing that she had discovered her secret, Madam Lin immediately changed the subject: "Madam Xia is truly blessed."

"Yes, the general's wife is very fortunate to have given birth to such a lovely baby. It's a pity that my family is full of boys. I wish I had a daughter like this."

“Yes, you will have a daughter,” Panpan said to Madam Chen. “You will have a little sister, but she won’t be as well-behaved as Panpan.”

These words are both comforting and heartbreaking.
