Chapter 102: Reward for Good Deeds 1

Su Xiaolu smiled and nodded. “Thank you for your concern, Auntie. Dinner was delicious. Master and I love it.”

Madam Lian was relieved. “That’s good. If there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with, just tell the servants to do it.”

Madam Lian liked Su Xiaolu very much. Apart from treating her as a divine doctor, she also treated her as a child.

Su Xiaolu could sense Madam Lian’s good intentions. She raised her head and smiled sweetly at Madam Lian. “Auntie, my name is Su Xiaolu. You can call me Xiaolu. Speaking of which, our family has interacted with Auntie’s family before. In the past, my father hunted a lot of wild animals and a big tiger. Auntie’s family bought it.”

Madam Lian was very surprised. She looked at Su Xiaolu and asked, “Your father sold a strong tiger four years ago, right?”

Su Xiaolu nodded. “Yes.”

Madam Lian felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Her eyes were a little moist as she said gently, “Xiaolu, I’m really grateful to your family. That tiger also saved the lives of my two children. Now that you’ve come to save them, you make me believe that fate exists.”

In the end, that tiger was made into many medicines, nourishing Sun Baoqian and Sun Baoshan’s bodies for so many years, the tiger meat was the same. Even the tiger skin was used to make bed sheets.

That year, the internal affairs butler of the residence said that he had encountered a good hunter. He said that there were difficulties at home, so when the Sun residence bought the tiger for higher than the market price. At that time, Madam Lian treated it as doing a good deed.

Now that she thought about it, Madam Lian had really shed tears of gratitude. She believed that good deeds were rewarded.

Su Xiaolu smiled and nodded. “I believe in fate too.”

Madam Lian recalled some of Su Sanlang’s conditions again. She looked at Su Xiaolu with concern and asked, “Xiaolu, how are your two brothers? How are your parents?”

After asking, Madam Lian belatedly realized that she had asked too much. Su Xiaolu’s medical skills were so good now, so her family should be good as well.

Su Xiaolu smiled and replied, “My eldest brother and second brother have recovered. My parents are fine too. Thank you for your concern, Auntie.”

Su Sanlang was in good health. There was nothing wrong with him except that the missing eye would never grow back.

Madam Zhao’s hand had also recovered a lot. It was not obvious usually, but she could not lift anything heavy. These things would never recover.

But there was no need for her to tell Madam Lian that.

Madam Lian did not ask again. She was not a careless woman. Su Sanlang, an ordinary person, must have encountered something when he went to fight the tiger. If she wanted to know these things, she would find out after investigating.

There was no need to chase after a child and keep asking her questions. She couldn’t do something like that.

After entering the house, Madam Lian asked Su Xiaolu to perform acupuncture for Sun Baoqian and Sun Baoshan first.

She watched from the side.

The house was very warm. Even if they were stripped naked, they would not feel cold.

However, Sun Baoshan was very shy. He pursed his lips uncomfortably and did not dare to look into Su Xiaolu’s eyes.

Su Xiaolu was very fast and accurate. She said, “I’m protecting your heart so that it won’t be hurt when I clear the poison. It will hurt a little, but I’ll be gentle.”

Sun Baoshan pursed his lips. After a while, he said with difficulty, “It’s okay. I’m not afraid.”

A little pain was nothing to him.

He was ashamed and angry that his upper body was exposed in front of Su Xiaolu so that she could see his ugly body. He was very skinny, and his thin skin was stuck to his bones. His protruding sternum looked very scary.

He had never cared about it before, but today, he wished he was fatter and better looking.

Madam Lian shed tears of heartache. She gently touched Sun Baoshan’s cheek and said, “Shan, don’t be afraid. When you recover, you’ll be healthy. Xiaolu is a divine doctor. You’ll get better.”

Su Xiaolu did not think too much about it. After inserting all the needles, she inserted the last needle into Sun Baoshan’s ring finger. It was very deep. She said, “I will remove the needles in two hours. At that time, a little poison will be drawn out by this needle.”

After saying that, she put away the needle bag and said to Madam Lian, “Auntie, sit here for a while. I’ll go over and attend to his sister.”

Madam Lian nodded gently and said, “Alright, thank you, Xiaolu. Her name is Sun Baoqian. You can call her Sister Baoqian. This is Sun Baoshan. You can also call him Brother Baoshan.”

Su Xiaolu nodded and smiled at Sun Baoshan. “Then I’ll go over, Brother Baoshan.”

Sun Baoshan nodded slightly and watched Su Xiaolu until she disappeared.

He knew he didn’t look good. Last year, a kid of about the same age had broken into his and his sister’s yard and cried when he saw them. He’d called them ghost skeletons and ugly monsters.

They were the same age, but Su Xiaolu didn’t look at them strangely at all. She even smiled at him. Her eyes were beautiful, and she looked even better when she smiled. He couldn’t help but think that he wanted to be friends with her when he was better.

Su Xiaolu came to Sun Baoqian’s inner room. Sun Baoqian was already lying on the bed obediently.

She knew she was going to have to undress. Embarrassed, she said very quietly, “Sister Xiaolu, I’m very thin. Don’t be afraid.”

Sun Baoqian was also hurt for a long time when she was pointed at and called a ghost, a skeleton, and an ugly monster. But some things couldn’t be changed just because she didn’t want to.

Su Xiaolu smiled at Sun Baoqian and said, “Sister Baoqian, I won’t be afraid. When you recover, you’ll be like me. You’re just sick.”

They were innately weak, so Sun Baoqian and Sun Baoshan were very thin and pale. It was impossible to tell if they were good-looking or not. It was a little scary to suddenly see them like this.

But in fact, they were not scary at all. They were not demons and ghosts. In fact, they were much weaker than ordinary people. Moreover, as physicians, they could encounter any kind of illness. If they did not have this bit of endurance, then being physicians was an insult to physicians.

Sun Baoqian was very nervous. She was even more nervous than Sun Baoshan. Her body was even trembling.

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Sister Baoqian, do you know? I have a sister. When I see you, it’s like seeing her. She’s very good to me…”

When Su Xiaolu mentioned Su Xiaoling, Sun Baoqian’s attention was diverted, and she gradually became less nervous.

She had no friends. Hearing Su Xiaolu mention such a person, she couldn’t help but imagine what kind of person she was.

Unknowingly, there were many needles in her body. When Sun Baoqian came back to her senses, she understood Su Xiaolu’s kindness.

The last stitch was also on the ring finger.

“Thank you, Xiaolu. I must meet your sister sometime. If she doesn’t despise me, I think I’ll be good friends with her.”

Sun Baoqian smiled at Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu nodded. “Definitely.”

There were many books on the bookshelf in Sun Baoqian’s boudoir. She remembered that her third sister liked to learn. If she knew Sun Baoqian, the two of them would definitely become good friends.
