Chapter 141
141 Li Yan’s Scheme
Pei Xuanxin’s face was filled with anxiety as he asked the doctor here about his mother’s treatment.
He had no choice. His family was poor and he was short of money. He couldn’t even fork out the money to treat his mother’s illness.
In order to save money, Pei Xuanxin could only come to town himself and tell the doctor about his mother’s symptoms. The doctor would then prescribe a prescription.
This way, Pei Xuanxin only needed to pay for the prescription and pick those herbs to brew medicine for his mother.
“Pei Xuanxin, it’s not a good idea to delay your mother’s treatment like this. You have to get some reishi mushroom to nourish her. As long as you have reishi mushrooms, your mother will recover quickly!” A doctor with white hair looked at Pei Xuanxin and said.
“Doctor Zhang, I know what you mean! It’s just that reishi mushrooms aren’t something I can buy!” Pei Xuanxin replied with a bitter smile.
Doctor Zhang also knew the situation in Pei Xuan’s family. In the end, he could only sigh and pick up a pen to write a prescription.
“I won’t charge you for this! I changed this prescription a little. Medicinal herbs are more common, and it’s easier for you to find them! However, your mother’s treatment can’t be delayed any longer. If it continues, I’m afraid in a few years…” Doctor Zhang didn’t say anything else.
Pei Xuanxin knew what Dr. Zhang meant, but he could only try his best to save his mother. He had done everything he could. There was really no way to get reishi mushrooms!
Li Yan, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, suddenly thought of a good idea.
Just because she couldn’t find the reishi mushroom didn’t mean that Pei Xuanxin couldn’t find it!
It was better for her to tell Pei Xuanxin about the reishi mushroom on the mountain of their village. In order to save his mother, Pei Xuanxin would definitely look for it on the mountain near their village.
At that time, she would have a lot more time to interact with Pei Xuanxin.
With her looks and methods, she wasn’t afraid that she wouldn’t be able to take down Pei Xuanxin in the long term.
The more Li Yan thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good idea. A smile appeared on her face.
Enduring the pain in her shoulder, Li Yan walked out of the medical center first and waited for Pei Xuanxin in a hidden place.
After a while, Pei Xuanxin walked out of the medical center with the prescription.
Seeing this, Li Yan quickly came forward.
“Excuse me, are you Pei Xuanxin?”
Pei Xuanxin was thinking about where to pick herbs when he heard a girl’s voice.
After looking up, Pei Xuanxin was a little stunned.
Although the girl in front of him was injured, she was very good-looking. She was exactly the type he liked.
However, when he thought of his family’s situation, Pei Xuanxin felt a little dejected.
This girl would probably look down on his family background!
“Are you Pei Xuanxin?” Li Yan asked when she saw Pei Xuanxin staring at her in a daze.
When Pei Xuanxin heard this, he came back to his senses and quickly bowed. “I’m Pei Xuanxin. Why are you looking for me?”
When Li Yan saw Pei Xuanxin’s refined appearance, she immediately thought of the majestic official many years later.
The smile on her face deepened, and Li Yan’s voice became gentler.
“It’s like this. Previously, when I was treating my injuries at the medical center, I accidentally overheard your previous conversation with the doctor! I was touched by your filial piety, so I came to give you a piece of news. I once heard from a hunter in our village that he had found a reishi mushroom on the Chicken Head Mountain in the past. Pei Xuanxin, if you’re free, why don’t you go to the mountain behind our village to look for it?! Perhaps you can find a reishi mushroom if your filial piety touches the heavens?”
When Pei Xuanxin heard Li Yan’s words, he was overjoyed.
“Thank you for your kindness. I’ll remember it. If you need my help in the future, please feel free to ask. May I know where you live?”
Seeing that Pei Xuanxin had taken the bait, Li Yan smiled and said, “I live in Hele Village!”
When Pei Xuanxin heard that it was Hele Village, he thought about it carefully and realized that it wasn’t far from his village. It would only take an hour to walk there.
If there was really a reishi mushroom on the mountain behind Hele Village, then his mother would be saved!
Thinking of this, Pei Xuanxin was overjoyed. Then, he bowed to Li Yan again.
“Thank you for telling me! What’s your name?”
Li Yan laughed when she heard Pei Xuanxin’s words.
“My name is Li Yan! Remember, you have to go to the Chicken Head Mountain behind our village to find reishi mushrooms!”
With that, Li Yan turned around and walked into the medical center.
“Miss Li, don’t worry. I’ll definitely repay you!”
Li Yan didn’t turn around when she heard this.
“No need. Just cure your mother!”
With that, Li Yan didn’t stay any longer.
When Pei Xuanxin couldn’t see her anymore, Li Yan looked excited.
At this moment, Li Yan was looking forward to seeing Pei Xuanxin’s expression when he saw her again at Chicken Head Mountain.
At the same time, Li Xiaoran, who had already set up her stall by the official road, was a little dejected when she saw the carriages in front of her.
The people who came were none other than the Jin family members who had been beaten up at the noodle stall yesterday.
However, this time, the Jin family actually brought Old Madam Jin to the noodle stall.
The originally empty noodle stall was now filled with the Jin family members.
“Why? Aren’t you going to entertain the guests?” The butler who came yesterday said arrogantly.
Luo Ziyang was about to step forward and teach this butler a lesson when Li Xiaoran stopped him with a look.
“Ziyang, Father, ask the guests what they want to eat. We’ll cook it now!”
When Luo Ziyang heard her, he could only stay silent no matter how angry he was.
Li Shun also knew that the other party had ill intentions, but they didn’t cause trouble. They just wanted to eat noodles, so they could only entertain them.
Fortunately, although this group of people didn’t have a good att.i.tude, they were really here to eat noodles.
According to the noodles ordered by these people, Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing were responsible for cooking a pot each. Soon, the knife-cut noodles that everyone wanted were ready.
Seeing that these people were eating happily with chopsticks, Li Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.
Li Xiaoran had personally cooked Old Madam Jin’s bowl of noodles.
When the bowl of noodles was finished, Old Madam Jin wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. Her eyes suddenly turned red.
“How tasty! I didn’t expect to finally be able to eat my favorite noodles! All these years in White Foothill City, what kind of life have I been living?!”
When an old woman who was eating noodles with Old Madam Jin saw this scene, she quickly comforted her, “Old Madam, don’t worry. You’ll have many good days in the future! If you like the taste of this bowl of knife-cut noodles, I’ll come with you every day in the future!”
