Mo Baichuan rushed over in large strides, lifted Mo Hudie up, and placed a pillow under her waist, “Xiaodie, how are you feeling recently? Do you have any food cravings? Brother Baichuan will go and buy it for you.”
A faint, pale smile appeared at the corner of Mo Hudie’s mouth, “Brother Baichuan, I’m doing much better, don’t worry.”
Sincere her childhood, Mo Hudie had always been considerate. Despite suffering from a serious illness, she had never complained about the pain and never shed tears.
She silently endured the torment of her illness without causing trouble for those around her.
Her id understanding nature made people deeply concerned about her.
Grandmother Mo turned around and quietly wiped away her tears.
Just like performing a magic trick, Song Beicheng took out a small toy from behind him, “Xiaodie, guess what is this?”
Mo Hudie’s eyes lit up, “Is it a small frog?”
“Right, it’s a little frog,” Song Beicheng wound up the clockwork, placed the tin frog on a table nearby, and the frog started jumping around.
Mo Hudie kept staring at the green tin frog with eyes full of longing. She wondered when she would be able to run around freely like that frog.
She had almost forgotten what the outside world was like.
In a moment, Mo Hudie turned her gaze towards Grandmother Mo’s back, “Granny.”
Grandmother Mo quickly dried her tears, put on a smile, pretending that nothing had happened, and turned around, “What’s wrong, Xiaodie?”
Mo Hudie then said: “Why hasn’t Guobao come to see me these days?” Due to their shared suffering from illness, Yang Guobao was Mo Hudie’s best friend and they talked about everything.
Grandmother Mo hesitated and then said, “Xiaodie, prepare yourself mentally, you may not see Guobao for a while.”
Mo Hudie was startled, “Why?”
Grandmother Mo sighed and told her about Yang Guobao’s situation.
Upon hearing this, Song Beicheng frowned and said: “If that’s the case, Yang Changzheng is being reckless. After all, Guobao is his son. How could he let a woman run rampant? If anything goes wrong, it’ll be too late for regrets!”
Mo Baichuan said: “God sent divine doctors from among ordinary people. What if that person really cures Yang Guobao? Even though Doctor Wang is an imperial doctor, it doesn’t mean he can do everything. After all, there are always people better than us and there is always a higher sky above the one we see.”
Grandmother Mo added: “But I heard from Guobao’s grandmother that the barefoot doctor who claimed to be able to cure Guobao is a 17-year-old girl. How many 17-year-old divine doctors have you seen? Even the Divine Doctor Hua Tuo only became famous in his thirties. I think she’s probably a fraud! And to think that Wang Meifeng is a college student!”
How could a college student make such a mistake?
With a sigh, Grandmother Mo continued, “Poor Guobao. I hope Wang Meifeng realizes her mistake soon, brings Guobao back before it’s too late, and doesn’t let any accident happen…”
The Yang family was also very worried.
Yang Changzheng has been wanting to go to Jinghua Village to bring back mother and son, Wang Meifeng and Yang Guobao. But this idea was obstructed by Zhou Suhua.
“People like Wang Meifeng should suffer a bit more, otherwise she will never know her mistakes! You are not allowed to go and pick her up, I want her to come back and beg us on her knees!” Zhou Suhua said angrily.
Yang Changzheng frowned “Mom, it’s been almost a month. Meifeng didn’t even bring any medicine for Guobao. Guobao needs to take his medication every two weeks, I am worried about his health.”
“Anyway, you are not allowed to go!” Zhou Suhua insisted: “Wang Meifeng is an adult. If something happens to Guobao, she should pay for her actions!”
Yang Changzheng was distressed, “But Guobao…”
Zhou Suhua continued: “If Wang Meifeng can’t take it anymore, she will come back to beg us! If you go and bring her back this time, next time, won’t Wang Meifeng take advantage of me, her mother-in-law?”
A daughter-in-law should know her place!
Zhou Suhua would never allow Wang Meifeng to challenge her authority as a mother-in-law.
Seeing his mother behave like this, Yang Changzheng sighed helplessly and decided to follow his mother’s suggestion.
He hoped Wang Meifeng would realize her mistake sooner and bring Yang Guobao back.

In the Ni family’s house.
Ni Yang got along well with the children of the village that day. From then on, every time the children heard the adults discussing anything unfavorable about Ni Yang, they would immediately defend her.
Never underestimate the power of kids. Through their efforts, the village undoubtedly had fewer rumors about Ni Cuihua and her daughter, Ni Yang.
Even children liked them, they couldn’t be bad people.
The next day, Ni Yang set up her stall as usual.
At the same time, it was also her first morning selling homemade pickled vegetables.
As usual, Li Gongcheng was the first in line. After paying, he thought for a moment before asking, “Young boss, what time do you usually close your stall?”
Ni Yang looked at him strangely, “Around 11:30, do you need anything?”
Li Gongcheng averted his gaze, feeling a little awkward. He then said, “Can you wait for me to come after 11 o’clock?”
If Ni Yang really agrees to become a chef at the Mo family, then he won’t have many opportunities to see her anymore.
Due to his selfishness, Li Gongcheng hoped Ni Yang would refuse.
Ni Yang nodded slightly, “Alright.”
One’s appearance mirrors one’s heart and Ni Yang could see Li Gongcheng wasn’t a bad person, so she didn’t refuse him. Maybe he really needed something from her.
The customers responded well to the new pickles.
Almost everyone said that this morning’s pickled vegetable noodles tasted even better than a few days ago.
It was almost noon by 11:30. Ni Yang officially closed her stall.
At the same time, Li Gongcheng came cycling from a distance.
Panting heavily, he ran to Ni Yang, “I’m sorry for being late, young boss.”
Ni Yang smiled lightly, “No problem. I just started to pack up. Please take a seat.”
“Alright.” Li Gongcheng sat in front of Ni Yang.
Facing Ni Yang, Li Gongcheng was so nervous that his hands were sweating. He didn’t know where to put them.
Ni Yang broke the silence first, “Did you want to discuss something with me?”
This made Li Gongcheng lookup at Ni Yang. He nodded and said, “Uh… yes, my name is Li Gongcheng. I came over to discuss something with you..”
