Chapter 223 Owe
The therapeutic effects of uncontaminated natural herbs are far beyond the reach of artificially cultivated medicinal materials in later generations.
In addition, the ancients' lifestyle was closer to nature. They worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, which made their physical foundation relatively stronger.
The perfect combination of the two undoubtedly accelerates the body's self-healing process.
These are the experiences and insights she has continuously accumulated in practice, which have also allowed her medical skills to improve unknowingly.
When Meng Yuanyou heard that he could switch to a more economical medicine, he couldn't help but nod repeatedly, his gratitude beyond words.
He knew better than anyone how effective the medicine was, but the price was the only thing that hurt him.
If he could really switch to cheaper medicine, it would undoubtedly be a huge blessing for him.
When Su Yu mentioned the need to buy live chickens, Xie Qifen shook her head apologetically, her tone mixed with helplessness: "It's really unfortunate. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, I sold all my chickens to raise money for treatment."
Her eyes were full of regret. You know, if she hadn't had to, she would have been willing to give it generously, just because she knew how important Su Yu's help was to their family.
Although Su Yu was surprised by this sudden situation, he quickly understood the reason.
In order to save Meng Yuanyou, Xie Qifen spent almost all her money. These live poultry can be sold at a good price during the holidays. For a family in urgent need of money, they naturally would not miss such an opportunity.
"How about we go to your second uncle Jiang Xiehe's house and take a look?"
Xie Qifen suggested, with a glimmer of hope between her brows.
"Ok."
Su Yu agreed.
Since there is no hope here, let's look for another place.
Fortunately, Jiang Xiehe was quite familiar with her, so there was no need for much greetings and she was ready to set off.
Xie Qifen hurriedly followed and said hastily: "Wait for me, I'll go with you."
Su Yu understood that Xie Qifen was trying to find an opportunity to have a private chat.
After the two walked side by side for a distance, Su Yu asked curiously: "I heard you say before that he was quite concerned about this matter and didn't want people to know about his physical problems. Why is he not so shy about it now?"
Xie Qifen blushed shyly when she heard this: "Hey, you don't know, ever since the drug started to work, he seems to have returned to his youth, full of curiosity about everything..."
There was a subtle sweetness in her words when she said this.
Su Yu chuckled, trying to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere. Xie Qifen immediately came to her senses and explained sheepishly, "In fact, he was the one who kept asking questions and wanted to know the origin of this elixir. I couldn't resist, so I had to tell him the truth."
Su Yu nodded in understanding, thinking to himself, it seems that Meng Yuanyou really felt the benefits of the drug. Compared with those so-called shyness, being able to recover health and regain his masculinity is obviously more important.
After that, he gradually let go of his psychological burden and accepted the treatment calmly.
Soon, they arrived at Jiang Xiehe's house.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Jiang Yueyue was seen busy in the yard, the axe in her hand flying up and down, chopping firewood neatly.
It was not until the sky gradually darkened and the sun disappeared behind the mountains that she began to move in a relaxed manner.
When Xie Qifen first saw Jiang Yueyue, she exclaimed, "Hey, Dandan, how come you've changed so much!"
This sudden shout instantly made the girl's cheeks blush with embarrassment.
Indeed, thanks to the ointment given by Su Yu, her skin has become noticeably whiter and smoother, and even bystanders can see the changes at a glance.
Although the freckles on her face are still visible, they have been greatly improved compared to before.
Su Yu looked at Jiang Yueyue's new look and felt a sincere sense of relief in his heart.
This child actually has a good foundation. Apart from his slightly dark skin color and the freckles scattered across his face that are a bit unsightly, his facial features and overall temperament all exude a fresh and refined aura.
While the two were talking, Jiang Xiehe in the house recognized Su Yu's voice, immediately put down the work in his hands, walked out quickly, and greeted them with a smile on his face.
Upon learning the purpose of Su Yu's visit, he walked directly into the chicken coop without saying a word, picked out the healthiest and fattest chicken and handed it to her, as if this was the most natural thing.
Su Yu took the chicken and was very satisfied with its appearance.
However, when Jiang Xiehe insisted on not taking a penny, she was in a dilemma.
She seemed a little helpless during the pushing and shoving. She was not good at refusing such favors. In the end, she could only accept the kindness with a slight apology.
When Xie Qifen saw this, he immediately understood the reason.
The change in Jiang Yueyue's appearance undoubtedly once again proved the excellence of Su Yu's medical skills.
Otherwise, according to the market price, how could such a high-quality chicken be given away so easily?
After leaving the Jiang family, Su Yu couldn't help but ask Xie Qifen: "Aunt Wang, you just sold chickens not long ago. Can you tell me how much a chicken like this is worth in the market?"
She knew in her heart that she must remember this favor and find an opportunity to repay it in the future.
Xie Qifen knew the honesty and integrity in Su Yu's character, so she estimated the weight of the chicken honestly and said slowly, "This chicken is well-fed. It weighs at least 7 or 8 kilograms. According to the market price, it is probably worth about 200 to 300 coins."
Hearing this number, Su Yu's shoulders couldn't help but sink slightly.
In a small place like Liushu Village, two or three hundred coins is definitely a considerable expense.
Thinking that she had received such a generous gift for no reason, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and guilty.
Xie Qifen knew Su Yu's temper very well. She always insisted on fairness in doing things, was unwilling to take advantage of others, and even more so, she didn't like others to owe her anything.
Jiang Xiehe's generous act undoubtedly put her in a dilemma.
But in the delicate network of emotional exchanges between people, the transmission and resonance of personal friendship is always an indispensable link.
So, she smiled lightly and said with some gentle persuasion: "Don't be too serious. There is a lot of human touch in our village. You help me and I help you. This kind of emotional interweaving of mutual help can make our hearts closer and our friendship more mellow."
After that, her eyes gently fell on Dandan's skin, which had obviously improved, and she added, "Besides, look at Dandan's child's skin, it has improved so obviously. Anyone who sees this change will understand it. I think your uncle's gratitude must be sincere and profound."
Su Yu nodded slightly, admitting that he was a little clumsy in interpersonal communication, but then he thought that everything in this world is based on the principle of reciprocity, so he would just get the medicine for Dandan for free, just as a way of repaying a favor.
Xie Qifen then sighed, with a bit of helplessness in her voice: "Hey, if you can really restore Dandan's face to its original state, it will really solve a big problem for their family. Dandan that child.
