The improved female villains regained their memories.

Blood spilled on the ground, and it spilled into his heart.

Several more men came out from the side, one of them grabbed the little girl's arm and lifted her up like a dead fish, sizing her up to see what good price he could get for her.

They were talking about something when they suddenly burst into laughter and dragged the little girl into the alley.

He walked over in silence and stopped them.

"What?"

"Old man, I'm warning you, don't meddle in other people's business. You can't afford to offend the people behind me."

"What are you doing, trying to be a hero!"

He said nothing, nor did he need to say anything.

By the time Su Rouxue arrived, it was already over.

When he handed Su Murong to Su Rouxue, the woman burst into tears and thanked him repeatedly.

"I really don't know how to thank you enough."

"fine."

"But your injury."

"I told you I'm fine."

He handed over the money with a cold expression.

"My shoes are worn out, so I'll buy a few more pairs from you."

Everyone knows that Old Man Qian treats handymen badly.

He used the guise of taking on apprentices to make them do odd jobs, but in reality, he just wanted to pay them less.

"That little brat is here again!"

His newly accepted apprentice complained to him: "She put up a wooden sign in front of our shop, saying something about selling herself to bury her father."

He remained unmoved, puffing on his pipe as if he hadn't heard a thing.

"Master!"

"Just stay there and do your job."

"But she tells others that I am her father!"

He ignored it and closed his eyes to rest.

The apprentice muttered a few curses and left. He then started puffing on his pipe again, and after a long while, put it down and walked out.

The gray-haired girl sat by the door with her knees drawn up to her chest. She glanced at him, snorted coldly, and ignored him.

He ignored him and walked out.

When he arrived at the tavern, the foreigner was doing his bill. He looked up and saw him, and exclaimed, "What a rare guest!"

He got straight to the point: "How was it?"

"Your eyes are damaged. You know the environment you and your daughter live in; it's dimly lit."

He placed the prepared pills on the table: "Give these to her."

"Row."

"Ten coins in total."

"Huh?" The foreigner looked at him incredulously. "You're going to pay for it yourself, and you want me to pay for it too?"

"Buying and selling is a matter of course."

"Go, go, go."

The foreigner gave him ten coins, and he turned around, pointed at the wine, and said, "I want to buy your wine."

"Take it if you want."

"Buying and selling is a matter of course."

"Then it'll be twenty-five coins."

He slammed the money on the table, grabbed the wine, and left.

The foreigner took the money and then realized that the money on the table was thirty-five coins, so he shook his head and laughed.

"This is so damn awkward."

--------

Everyone knows about Old Man Qian's pharmacy; no one can stay as an apprentice for long.

With the Chinese New Year approaching, he took on another apprentice.

But this apprentice seems different from the previous ones.

The foreigner came to his door again and told him, "You're too stingy. You only give your apprentice that little bit of money. He has to work for me to support himself."

He puffed on his cigarette without saying a word.

"Also, your granddaughter is with me, and the two of them are doing quite well."

He still didn't say anything.

"You're not going to say anything, huh? Then I'm leaving."

The clicking sound finally stopped. He glanced at the foreigner and asked, "How much did you pay her?"

"Anyway, it's higher than what you pay your apprentice."

He put down his cigarette and handed the money to the foreigner.

The foreigner was confused: "What do you mean?"

"Don't be so strict with the kitchen staff."

"Okay, I understand."

The foreigner left, and he got up and walked out.

He navigated the familiar paths and entered the thatched hut, where he met Su Rouxue.

She became even thinner, and her eyesight was completely ruined; she couldn't see anything and could only lie there alone.

He examined her blood and qi, took her pulse, and remained silent for a long time.

Su Rouxue smiled and asked, "Are you alright?"

"It can be cured."

"It must be very expensive."

He doesn't speak.

After a very long time, he said, "I don't want any money."

"need."

"You don't have to."

"I understand my body, I'm not going to get better, am I?"

He fell silent.

“The ‘Rong’ in Su Murong is the ‘Rong’ of honor.” Su Rouxue looked out the window and said firmly, “I can’t be a burden to my child.”

He did not answer Su Rouxue's question and stood up.

No child would feel that their parents are a burden.

He said, "Let me think of something, I will."

------

Plop plop.

Looking at Yang Pingsheng kneeling on the ground, the sound of him smoking started again.

Old Man Qian remained silent for a long time.

Just as Yang Pingsheng was about to say something again, he put down his cigarette and stood up.

"You were originally my apprentice, so it's only right that you serve me like a slave."

He took his medical supplies and strode out.

"Walk."

He no longer has a son.

Therefore, he cannot live without a daughter-in-law.

In saving Su Rouxue, he was the same as Yang Pingsheng.

He doesn't believe in fate either.

Chapter 139 Mother

Old Man Qian's arrival surprised Su Murong.

In her memory, Old Man Qian was a man who only cared about money and not about people. Yang Pingsheng told her to give it a try, and she didn't have much hope. But she didn't expect that he would actually come.

She looked at him nervously. Yang Pingsheng walked to her side, patted her head, and told her to relax.

"It's fine."

Old Yang's face remained stiff and expressionless for years. Su Murong's wariness was nothing to him; he didn't even glance at him and went inside alone with his things.

"Nobody come in."

In the end, only this sentence remained.

In the cold, windswept thatched hut, the old man gazed at the woman on her sickbed, took out a pill from his pocket, and put it into her mouth.

A powerful heatwave spread out, and the woman's pale face regained some color. Her high fever subsided, and even the cold air in the room dissipated.
