How was she panicking? However, in Song Xiuyan’s warm embrace, Ding Yao was stunned for a moment. She tried to push him away, but he hugged her even tighter, causing her little face to turn red. She even felt her heart beat faster. What the hell? Song Xiuyan wasn’t flirting with her, so why did her heart flutter?

After a long while, Song Xiuyan released Ding Yao. He realized that Ding Yao’s little face was red. He felt baffled. Why was his wife feeling bashful? He didn’t do anything. He just hugged her. It wasn’t the first time he hugged her, and he even carried her on his back before. She didn’t seem shy at all at that time.

The next morning, Zhao Caiyun’s mother came over. When she saw Ding Yao, she fell to her knees with a thud and kowtowed twice. “Thank you, Ding Yao. You saved Zhao Caiyun’s life. I will always remember your great kindness. Caiyun ate the pills you gave her yesterday. She can get up and eat now.”

Ding Yao didn’t pull Zhao Caiyun’s mother up. Instead, she avoided her kowtow and said calmly, “She hasn’t fully recovered… she still needs… to continue taking the pills.”

Zhao Caiyun’s mother hurriedly got up from the ground. “What medicine does she still need to take? How much is it? No matter how much money it costs, I’m willing to pay.”

Ding Yao gave the prescription that she had written yesterday to Zhao Caiyun’s mother. “Once a day… take it for ten days straight.”

Zhao Caiyun’s mother took the prescription and quickly ran home. After a while, she caught two big roosters. “Ding Yao, our family has no money. We’ll give you two chickens first. Once we gather the money, we’ll give it to you immediately.” After saying that, she ran back home. She wanted to quickly go to town to sell eggs and roosters and get the medicine. After Zhao Caiyun fell ill, they hired several doctors. They spent several thousand dollars and used a lot of good medicine, but they still couldn’t save Zhao Caiyun’s life. They thought that Zhao Caiyun wouldn’t be able to survive last night. They didn’t expect that Ding Yao would be able to pull Zhao Caiyun back from the gates of hell with just one pill. Most importantly, Zhao Caiyun, who had just returned from the gates of hell, finally had the courage to live.

Zhao Caiyun’s mother didn’t ask Ding Yao how much money it was. No matter how much money it was, she was willing to give it. Her family’s man and son had the same intention. Just as Zhao Caiyun’s mother was about to go out, Song Yu ran over and said, “My sister-in-law said that we don’t need to give any more money for the diagnosis. Two roosters are enough. Also, boil two times a packet of medicine, three bowls of water and one bowl of medicine, morning and evening. Take it on an empty stomach. Remember that.”

Zhao Caiyun’s mother hurriedly nodded. “Got it. I’ll remember it. Tell your sister-in-law that we’ll definitely pay the consultation fee. If we don’t, we’ll feel bad.” As she spoke, her tears fell profusely. She was extremely regretful for what she had done previously.

In the afternoon, the villagers were all discussing:

“Did you hear? Zhao Caiyun was about to die, but Ding Yao saved her with a pill!”

“Really? After Zhao Caiyun got sick, I saw a few doctors go to her house and buy a bunch of medicine, but it didn’t work at all. I heard that Zhao Caiyun was waiting for her death at home. Yesterday, I saw her mother crying in the corner.”

“Really! Zhao Caiyun’s mother said it herself. She even said that Ding Yao gave her a prescription that would heal her after ten days of drinking. The key was that the prescription was not expensive. It was only a hundred yuan in total. The medicine prescribed by other doctors cost a hundred yuan each! Moreover, I heard that the consultation fee was very cheap. She accepted two roosters and refused to accept any more money after that.”

“Sigh, Ding Yao is really good-hearted. Zhao Caiyun and her daughter did such a thing, but she still saved her. I’m really impressed!”

“You know that Ding Yao is good-hearted only now? I knew that Ding Yao was good-hearted from the time she divided the wild boar meat. Although Ding Yao is young, she’s very popular! The most important thing is that she’s good at medicine. She can cure diseases that the doctors in the town can’t cure in a short time. The money she receives isn’t enough. I’ll go and see her when I’m sick in the future!”

In the afternoon, Ding Yao was administering acupuncture to Song Yi while Song Xiuyan and Song Yu watched from the side. It was the middle of summer in July and the weather was hot. Song Xue was fanning Ding Yao with a cattail leaf fan, but Ding Yao’s forehead was still sweating. Song Xiuyan took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. When Ding Yao thought of Song Xiuyan’s warm embrace last night, she felt her heart palpitate.

Ding Yao despised herself. In her previous life, she had never been in love, but after transmigrating and reincarnating, Song Xiuyan made her heart flutter so easily. It was such a joke. She had a feeling that in this life, she would probably fall head over heels for Song Xiuyan.
