Ru Xue and the others felt a little better, their anxiety dissipated, and even their food tasted better. "Ru Xue, is it okay if I bring the baby tonight?"

"No problem. As long as she's full, Yao'er is very well-behaved. I'll feed her again before bed."

"Yes, if I eat a full meal before bed, I can sleep soundly until dawn."

"Don't worry, Ruxue and I will definitely take good care of Yao'er."

Liu Siyue and Shi Tou drove the oxcart towards town together. Being alone together, Shi Tou seemed a little reserved. Liu Siyue tried to make conversation, "Brother Shi Tou, do you know how to drive an oxcart?"

"I don't know how. Could you teach me when you have time?"

"As long as you want to learn, I'll teach you until you master it."

"Thank you, April."

"Brother Stone, what do you like to do?"

"I don't know what I like to do. I feel like I'm useless. I can't do anything except farm, and I'm not even good at farming."

My family is so poor that no one wants to marry me. My mother once offered to exchange my younger sister for a marriage proposal, but I refused. I can't ruin my sister's life for my own sake.

"You are a good brother. With a brother like you protecting her, Qiuju's future husband's family will definitely not dare to bully her."

"If she doesn't want to be bullied, her dowry is her confidence. So I'm going to work hard with you to earn money and prepare a generous dowry for Qiuju so that her in-laws won't dare to look down on her."

"Brother Stone, the dowry is only one aspect. You also need to be strong-willed and have your own opinions. Otherwise, no matter how much you give, you can be easily fooled by others with just a few words."

If Brother Stone is also very powerful, even if the in-laws want to bully Qiuju, they'll have to be prepared to face the wrath of the brother-in-law. Don't you agree?

"You're right, but I'm too stupid to learn anything."

"You're not stupid, you just haven't had the chance. When the weather gets cold and my house is finished, and we can't go up the mountain to collect herbs, you and Qiuju can come to my house to learn to read."

"And I'm planning to start a business, you'll have to help me then."

"Really? In April!"

"Of course it's true. I think the villagers are having a hard time. This time I went to the county town to help everyone find a way to make money in the winter. I never expected that the villagers and clansmen would treat us like this. It's really disheartening."

So, I'll take you into business, and I guarantee your family will be able to build a new house next year, and you'll be able to get married.

"Don't worry, April, I'll work really hard and do whatever you say. I'll go wherever you tell me to go."

As the two talked, they unknowingly arrived at Huichuntang. Shi Tou pounded on the door, and Liu Youtian, recognizing his son's voice, quickly begged the pharmacy's doctor to open it. The doctor told them to go through the back door.

Liu Siyue drove the oxcart to the back gate, and when the doctor saw that there was still an ox, he immediately became unhappy, "Your ox can't come into the yard, it's too noisy."

"Doctor, I promise, my cow will not cause any trouble, it won't even bleat once."

The doctor then told her to bring the cow into the stable for the night, saying, "This cow looks fierce; I hope it won't bully my horse!"

"My cow is very well-behaved. As long as your horse doesn't provoke it, it will never cause trouble first."

"Bull Demon King, you can't bully your friend, this is their territory." The horse snorted defiantly.

The doctor's mouth twitched. The name he gave the animal was quite intimidating. It could understand when he talked to animals. Everyone said that horses were intelligent, but look, even his own horse was unhappy.

"Doctor, my cow is very intelligent. Look at its eyes, they are so bright and expressive."

The doctor took one look and thought, "It's just a pair of big, round, bull-like eyes. What's so special about it? They're just making a big fuss."

"Okay, go check on the patient."

The doctor took their pulses again, and they were stable. He told them to take another dose of medicine before bed and they should be fine. The doctor then instructed the apprentice to prepare the medicine, and Ruyu went with him.

Huang Lanhua witnessed everything. She had already made up her mind that she would teach that ox a lesson when it was late at night. She would then talk to Liu Dahu about it, asking, "Husband, do you think what I'm doing is feasible?"

They need to be taught a lesson. What are they so smug about having a little money?

Just do as you say, but don't hurt yourself.

In the dead of night, when everyone was asleep, Huang Lanhua quietly got up, picked up a hoe from the stable, and swung it at the cow. She used all her strength, hoping to dig a hole in the cow's head with one blow and bleed it to death.

As the hoe swung down, the bull staggered backward. She, having exerted too much force, lunged forward and collapsed to the ground, unable to move. The Bull Demon King, equally wicked, flicked his tail and thrust his rear end forward, burying Huang Lanhua's head in several clumps of cow dung. Huang Lanhua was nearly suffocating, but dared not cry out. She struggled to her feet, but the bull kicked her, sending her sprawling. She was now completely unable to get up and soon fainted from the pain.

Liu Dahu waited and waited in his room, but Huang Lanhua didn't return. He finally fell asleep, and it was already dawn. He still hadn't seen her. Where had that damned woman gone? He had been holding back all night and was about to lose control. If she didn't come back soon, he was going to poop on the bed.

Liu Dahu's face turned red from holding it in, and a warm current spread across the bed. Just as the warm current subsided, a foul odor assaulted his senses, and he finally couldn't hold it in and defecated.

He was so ashamed that he sat there motionless.

Liu Siyue and the others got through the night peacefully, and neither of them had a fever again. Liu Dawang and Liu Ruyun were both awake and seemed to be in good spirits.

A scream came from the stable. The young apprentice rushed out from behind, and the doctor asked him what had happened. The apprentice stammered that there was a person lying next to the stable, his life hanging in the balance, and the gate was covered in cow dung.

The doctor rushed to the back to check. He had someone turn the person over, and saw that it was Huang Lanhua. What was going on with this person? How did he end up in the stable?

"Wake her up." The young apprentice pinched her philtrum hard, and Huang Lanhua was awakened by the pain. She opened her eyes and kept sneezing, probably because she had caught a cold.

"What happened to you? You're covered in cow dung."

She didn't know how to explain, so she stammered as she got up and ran. "Clean yourself up before you come in," the doctor called after her, but Huang Lanhua ignored him, slipped inside, and closed the door.

"You wretched woman, where have you been? You've ruined my life!"

"My dear husband, look at me! I didn't get things done last night, and I even got kicked by the cow. My stomach still hurts!"

"How can you be so stupid? You can't even handle this little thing. What good are you? Get out of here and come in to help me clean up."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Her hair was covered in cow dung, and she begged the servants in the backyard for some hot water to wash it. The servants felt like vomiting when they saw her and told her to wait in the yard.

After changing the water basin after basin, seven or eight times, Huang Lanhua finally cleaned herself up. The doctor frowned, wondering how there could be such a woman, the likes of which he had never seen before.

Liu Siyue and Ruyu were hiding in their room, laughing so hard they were practically hysterical. "Cow dung man, hahaha~"

Huang Lanhua returned to her room. "Honey, are you going home? I'll help you pack right away."

Liu Dahu was both angry and somewhat embarrassed. "You stupid woman, you didn't come back all night, so I pooped on the bed."

"Honey, you're hungry, and you've soiled the bed! What are we going to do?"

"You idiot, yelling so loudly, aren't you embarrassed enough already?"

Everyone heard Huang Lanhua's words clearly. This couple was truly a perfect match; they both liked that stuff and had unique tastes.

Liu Siyue asked the doctor to examine the two of them again. If there were no problems, she took the medicine and went home.

After the doctor examined them, he prescribed three doses of medicine for each person to take home and drink. After drinking the medicine and resting, they would be fine.
