The boy finally snapped out of his daze and cautiously replied, “Madam, we weighed them before coming. Both goats are a little over sixty jin, but not quite seventy.

- Chapter 213 – Longxing Yan Lao’er hadn’t expected news to travel so fast. After going through several towns without success, he and Qi Si made a decisive turn toward Longxing.

- Chapter 214 – A Great River “How much did you pay for them?” the shopkeeper asked. “They sell for one tael and four qian in stores, but I bought a lot, so I got a deal—one tael and two qian each,” Yan Lao’er replied. The shopkeeper nodded. That price seemed reasonable. “If you’re willing to sell to me at the same price, I’ll take a few bars,” the shopkeeper said after some thought.

He just wanted to save Qi Si’s silver for emergencies. Until they made it back to the village, there was no telling what might happen on the road. They needed to keep some silver, just…

- Chapter 205: Freshly Extracted, Immediately Used “Then… do you think Heaven believes I was right or wrong?” Madam Cui felt this was something that had to be clarified.

Physician Cui cleared his throat and said, “Heaven cherishes life. What do you think that means?” Madam Cui’s mind instantly ran wild with associations… Her…

- Chapter 206: A Midnight Trip to Crouching Tiger City to Deliver Warmth The commotion was so loud that Doctor An, who was about to turn in for the night, was startled awake. Upon learning they were headed to Crouching Tiger City, he immediately expressed his intention to go along. “I’ve told you before why I didn’t go—it was because there was no medicine. Now that the situation has improved, I must go see for myself.” He climbed directly onto the ox cart, making it clear he wasn’t…

- Chapter 207: The Mushroom-Picking Girl Yan Lao'er: ... You might as well just say you don’t trust me. “Looking out for each other” basically just means you want those three brothers to watch over me. But since Old Yan was this worried, he couldn’t help but be affected too. Thinking about how he’d be heading off alone, carrying silver to some unfamiliar place to buy medicine—what if he needed to use the restroom? With all the herbs loaded on the cart, how could he feel at ease…

- Chapter 208: Second Uncle Set Me Up Yan Lao’er laughed and said, “Look! Your uncle is doing just fine—nothing wrong at all. It's just that the Young Master is so diligent, still working late into the night, so your uncle had to work overtime with him.” Yan Yu tilted her head. The Young Master is working late into the night? And Uncle is pulling overtime? Yan Lao’er only shared the good news, carefully picking and choosing what he could say. After the family finished their mushroom…
