"Mother, there's something I didn't tell you." Hua Jiujiu felt that she had to find an excuse for her medical skills.
"What is it?" Bai Zhi looked at Hua Jiujiu in confusion.
"Actually, I've acknowledged that female miracle doctor as my Master." Hua Jiujiu glanced at Bai Zhi worriedly. "Are you unhappy, mother?"
Since ancient times, there were very few female doctors. Not only did they appear in public, but they also interacted with men. Therefore, Hua Jiujiu was afraid that Bai Zhi wouldn't like them either.
Bai Zhi ruffled Hua Jiujiu's hair. "Silly girl, how can I not be happy? I can't be any happier for you. It's your blessing that the female miracle doctor accepted you as her disciple. If there's a chance, I want to thank her in person."
Hua Jiujiu's eyes lit up. She knew that her mother had extraordinary wisdom!
"Mother, you're the best. I'll definitely study medicine well!" Hua Jiujiu threw herself into Bai Zhi's arms and said happily.
Bai Zhi hugged her as she pounced over, feeling very satisfied.
Her daughter was the best.
"Mother, I already know a lot of herbs. I've also dug up a lot these few days, so I plan to go to town to sell herbs." Hua Jiujiu could only use this method to earn money first.
Although it would be a little less, it was better than nothing.
It was enough for now.
"Jiu'er, it's been hard on you," Bai Zhi said with heartache.
It was all because she was incompetent that the money-making matter fell on her daughter, who had yet to reach adulthood.
"It's not hard. As long as our family is together, it won't be hard." Hua Jiujiu smiled blissfully.
She was so lucky to meet such a good family.
Hua Shishi and Hua Youyou also surrounded her.
To them, it was fine as long as their family was together.
Of course, it would be even better if their father was still around.
The family cuddled for a while before going to do their own things.
When Hua Jiujiu was coaxing the two babies to sleep, there was suddenly a commotion outside. The two children immediately became much more energetic.
Hua Jiujiu frowned unhappily.
She handed the babies to her mother and walked out to investigate.
After opening the door, she saw that apart from the Hua family, there were also a few unfamiliar old women and men in the courtyard.
Hua Jiujiu vaguely felt that something was wrong. She pulled Hua Youyou over and whispered into her ear.
She said to Hua Shishi, "Shishi, no matter what happens later, don't come out with Mother."
Hua Shishi seemed to have sensed something and nodded seriously.
"Remember, don't come out!" Hua Jiujiu glanced at the worried Bai Zhi on the bed.
She was more worried that her mother would run out uncontrollably.
If it was really as she had guessed, his mother was in real danger.
Hua Shishi nodded quickly again.
She would definitely stop her mother!
"Eldest, come out and see who's here." Elder Madam Xu's voice sounded from outside.
Hua Jiujiu opened the door and walked out, letting Hua Shishi lock the door.
She walked to Old Hua and the others with an indifferent expression. "Grandma, who are they?"
"Oh, child, you've suffered!" A fat woman pounced over with snot and tears and was about to hug Hua Jiujiu.
Hua Jiujiu dodged and avoided this woman's embrace. She looked at the woman in front of her warily. "Who are you?"
This woman was clearly sizing her up.
She was disgusted and satisfied as she looked at Hua Jiujiu.
It was obvious that she was looking at her like she was a product!
