Chapter 20: Maybe Everyone Should Get Checked

Jiang Dai didn’t notice the unusual atmosphere, but she was startled by her little daughter’s sudden outburst: “Stop being so noisy!”

“What’s wrong, Juanjuan? It was quite quiet just now.”

Under the dual gaze of her brother and mother, Juanjuan only felt her heart thumping wildly in her chest.

It was terribly noisy.

The child, quick-witted in her panic yet mentally short-circuiting, instinctively raised her hand and pointed dumbly at her own chest.

“Here… beating too fast, noisy…”

Bai Yunqi: 【Sigh, what was I overthinking? What was I being so wary about!】

Yun An: 【As expected, anyone who tries to understand a four-year-old is a fool.】

Jiang Dai: 【Aaaaaah! Little Juanjuan making such a gesture is so soft and adorable! Children really are innocent, cute, and pure!】

Little did she know, Juanjuan was almost scared out of her wits, covered in cold sweat.

For the rest of the time, Juanjuan didn’t dare speak another word, just silently helped her mother.

The physician arrived soon after.

“Maybe I should just move in with your family.”

These were the first words the physician uttered upon entering the room.

The somewhat elderly man, carrying his small medicine chest, stepped inside panting heavily.

He was truly exasperated—this Bai Family was too much trouble. Now that they had silver, they could really go all out calling for his services.

“Please prescribe some medicine for the child, we appreciate your trouble.”

Jiang Dai quickly handed the physician a clean, chipped bowl filled with water, offering him a drink to catch his breath.

Though her words were polite, inwardly she complained: 【It’s not like we’re not paying! Besides, I want everyone in the family to be healthy!】

Hearing this, Juanjuan just pressed her lips together tightly.

The physician took Da Mao’s pulse, examined him carefully, and prescribed several doses of medicine: “I don’t see anything seriously wrong. Just take the medicine, and as long as the fever breaks, he’ll be fine.”

“By the way, why don’t everyone in the family come over? I’ll check you all.”

This way, he wouldn’t have to rush over later. Although he also lived in Niantao Village, if he could solve everything at once, who would want to run to this Bai Family every day?

It was exhausting.

Now, if he checked everyone at once, he could still collect his fee without having to make multiple trips.

“Goudan, Er Mao, hurry up!”

“Yes, yes, especially this Er Mao. Physician, please take a good look at him.”

Jiang Dai and Bai Tian simultaneously pushed the two children toward the physician.

The big brother called Goudan: …

【Forget it, this is family. If they call me that, so be it. No big deal.】

Er Mao Yun An, who was specifically asked to be examined: 【Can I say I’m perfectly fine?】

Jiang Dai: “Check if they need some good nourishment.”

Yun An: 【I have issues! My issues are huge! I definitely need some good nourishment.】

“Goudan is mostly fine. He looks badly injured, but his pulse is strong. He’s just a bit malnourished—needs to eat more.”

“As for Er Mao…” The physician frowned slightly.

“What’s wrong with Er Mao!”

Anxiousness colored Jiang Dai’s expression.

Images of Er Mao vomiting blood immediately flashed through her mind. Could it be serious?

“Oh, it’s not a big deal either.”

The physician spoke words that put Jiang Dai at ease, but then quickly changed his tone.

“However, now that I think about it, the color of that blood he coughed up seemed a bit unusual.”

Seeing the nervous expressions return to Jiang Dai and Bai Tian’s faces, the physician stroked his beard and changed his tone again.

“Of course, it might have been stagnant blood. But according to his pulse, this child is fine—young and strong.”

Jiang Dai: 【Can this old man finish his sentences properly!】

Bai Tian: 【Seriously suspect this old man is doing it on purpose.】

Yun An: 【Nonsense, that was high-grade artificial blood. Didn’t expect this physician to be quite skilled—he actually noticed.】

Though inwardly cursing, Jiang Dai still smiled and politely saw the physician out.

Seeing her parents about to send the physician away, Juanjuan tugged at Jiang Dai’s sleeve and looked up at her mother.

“Shouldn’t Father and Mother get checked too?”

Compared to her three brothers, Juanjuan instinctively felt closer to her current parents.

Seeing all three brothers get checked again, Juanjuan was also worried about her parents, who had also fallen from the oxcart.

Bai Tian: “That’s right, honey, maybe you should get checked too?”

【Anyway, I’m a transmigrator with plot armor—I definitely won’t die. No need for a checkup, plus it would cost a few coins.】

Jiang Dai: “I’m fine. How about you get checked?”

【I’m definitely fine—after all, I have the transmigrator’s golden finger! Absolutely won’t die!】

Physician: “Maybe everyone should get checked?”

These two adults looked healthy and problem-free.

A quick examination shouldn’t be too troublesome, and he could earn a few extra coins!

Faced with the physician’s suggestion, Jiang Dai and Bai Tian spoke in unison: “No need.”
