Adorable Twins: A Hunter’s Wife Has Space

Chapter 14

When Wang Jinxue looked at Su Li, a dissatisfied smile appeared on her face. “Cousin-in-law, are you going to the market too?”

Su Li glanced at her and nodded.

She didn’t want to talk to Wang Jinxue, but there were so many people there. Wang Jinxue had already greeted her. If she didn’t reply, it would seem like she was looking down on her.

Wang Jinxue said, “Cousin must have earned a lot of money from selling a wild boar last time. I’m afraid you’re going to make a huge purchase on the streets!”

“But you have to buy less. It wasn’t easy for Cousin to earn so little money. You still have two children at home. If you spend all the money, how will your family live in the future!”

As soon as she said this, everyone present looked at Su Li.

Su Li was famous for cheating her husband’s money in their village. She did not stay with the family obediently but insisted on splitting up. In the end, she even promised to give Wang Chun a monthly pension of seven taels. No matter how good He Yufeng was at hunting, seven taels a month was not easy. When they entered the winter season, there would be even less prey. Wasn’t she planning to tire her man to death?

As the old saying went, one had to marry a virtuous person. If someone marries Su Li, the family blood would have suffered bad luck!

There were some whispers on the ox cart. Because Su Li was present, no one dared to go overboard.

When Wang Jinxue heard the discussion, the corners of her lips curled up smugly. As long as she could step on Su Li, she would be happy.

Su Li glanced at Wang Jinxue and said, “If you’re so free, you might as well think of a way to have a child.”

Wang Jinxue choked. This was her Achilles’ heel.

The woman in the car started to change the topic again.

Su Li coldly took out five copper coins for Old Zhao, who was driving the carriage, and said, “You can leave now.

The journey was bumpy. The women in the car chattered non-stop. Everyone was discussing the new things that had happened in the village.

Su Li had been resting with her eyes closed along the way. Wang Jinxue had wanted to mock her many times, but she had never found a chance.

When they arrived in town, Old Zhao stopped the ox cart and said, “We’re here. As usual, we’ll go back at 12:00 pm. If you want to buy something, hurry up and buy it. If you want to sell something, you have to close the stall when the time comes. Otherwise, I won’t wait for anyone.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. This rule had been going on for a long time. Every time there was a market, they would return at that time. If they were any later, the sky would turn dark.

Wang Jinxue got off the ox cart and was about to say something to Su Li. However, Su Li did not give Wang Jinxue a chance at all. After she agilely jumped down from the ox cart, she patted the dust off her butt and left.

Wang Jinxue snorted and walked away too.

Su Li looked at everything in front of her. Everything was so illusory and real.

There were all kinds of shops on both sides of the town. In the middle of the road, there were vendors pushing carts and hawking. There were also small vendors setting up stalls at the side. There were not many styles of things, and there were only a few things that were the same when you walked through the market. However, the noisy voices gave the aura of the mortal world.

Su Li still had the restorative incense that she had picked previously. She planned to make a trip to the medical center first to see if she could sell the restorative incense.

With surplus money in her hands, she would not panic. If she did not have money in her pocket, she would be restricted from doing anything.

Su Li asked around and found out that the most famous medical center in town was called Huiren Hall. There were also physicians there. Usually, the villagers nearby would go to Huiren Hall to have their headaches and fevers treated.

Moreover, Huiren Hall’s price was fair. From the moment it opened until now, there had never been a situation where the shop bullied customers.

Su Li decided to go to Huiren Hall to take a look. The town was neither big nor small. Huiren Hall was in a prime location in town, so Su Li found it without asking for directions.

She stood at the door and looked up at the words “Huiren Hall” on the plaque.

Su Li closed her eyes and sniffed. A medicinal fragrance assailed her nose. This familiar smell made her feel as if she had returned to her previous life.

“Make way, make way!”

An anxious voice came from behind Su Li.

Su Li subconsciously took two steps to the side.

A middle-aged man carried a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth on his back and ran towards the medical center. Behind him was an anxious woman.

After the three of them entered Huiren Hall, Su Li also walked in.

“Doctor, doctor, please save my son!”

As soon as the woman entered, she shouted anxiously, her face covered in tears.

The doctor who was treating the patient was a little unhappy when he heard the commotion, but when he saw the young man on the middle-aged man’s back, he retracted his displeasure.

“Put him on the bed!”

The person who spoke was Cheng Yu, the physician of Huiren Medical Hall.

When the middle-aged man placed the young man on the bed, the young man looked pained, as if he could not breathe and was about to die.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu quickly turned him to the side to prevent the young man from having difficulty breathing because he was lying flat.

“Doctor, quickly take a look at my child. This illness of his used to flare up from time to time, but it’s not as serious as today. The symptoms today almost scared us to death!”

The woman grabbed Cheng Yu’s hand agitatedly and asked.

Cheng Yu sighed in his heart. He did not need to check the young man’s condition to know what illness it was because this was not the first time he had encountered this symptom. He had been a doctor for so many years, but he had never seen anyone treat this illness.

Normally, one would be able to control the illness if he took some medicine, but this young man’s illness was hitting him aggressively. With his current medical skills, he really could not save him. It might even backfire.

Cheng Yu looked at them apologetically and said, “Forgive me for being inexperienced. I really can’t do anything about your son’s illness. You should find someone else!”

When the woman heard Cheng Yu’s words, it was as if the sky was about to collapse. Although Taoyuan Town was only a town, the owner of Huiren Hall came from the capital with a little background. Therefore, the most famous doctor in the surrounding villages was in Huiren Hall. If even the doctor of Huiren Hall said that they could not treat him, would they still have any hope?

“Doctor, please, please save my son! He is our life! How can we live without him?”

The woman’s face was pale. She grabbed Cheng Yu’s hand and knelt down.

Although the middle-aged man was not as agitated as the woman, his worry could be seen from his expression and clenched fists.

Cheng Yu reached out to help the woman up. “Get up quickly. I really can’t do anything about this matter. If anyone in the world can treat this illness, I’m afraid they can only find the imperial doctor in the palace!”

Imperial physicians in the palace?

That was a treatment that only the royal family members were qualified to enjoy. They, commoners, did not even have the travel expenses to go to the capital, let alone the imperial doctor!

“Boohoo… My poor child!”

The woman squatted on the ground and cried in despair.

“Look at how young this child is. How did he get this illness?”

“This is all arranged by the heavens. As ordinary people, how can we change it?!”

“Sigh, how pitiful!”

The people in the medical center surrounded them and discussed. Most of them sympathized with them.
