The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl

“Did you touch my medicine box?”

Yingbao walked towards Chen Tiantian, “What did you take? Hand it over!”

She had quite a few medical tools in her medicine box, some of which were given to her by Doctor Li, and some were purchased by herself.

These items, like the knives, scissors, and sutures for treating wounds, were not to be touched by outsiders. They were all sterilized by boiling in Pupil Spring, and there’s even a bottle of emergency pills that she had prepared.

No matter the item, none of them should be tampered with.

And yet, while she was treating patients, someone dared to open her medicine box and tamper with its contents. This was something that she could not tolerate.

“What are you talking about?” Chen Tiantian said calmly, “When did I touch your medicine box? Jiang Yingbao, don’t make false accusations.”

Yingbao put the silver needles back into the medicine box, and as she rummaged around, she indeed found that her bottle of emergency pills was missing.

“I’ll say it again, hand it over!”

“Hand what over? I didn’t take anything.”

Chen Tiantian instinctively stepped back, casting a plea for help towards Doctor Li, “Grandfather Li, Jiang Yingbao is framing me.”

Doctor Li glanced at Chen Tiantian, then at the advancing Little Yingbao, sighed, “Yingbao, let’s wait until the patients have left, then we can”

Before he could finish speaking, Yingbao grabbed Chen Tiantian, flipped her over in a judo throw, and slammed this tall girl onto the ground.

She then frisked her, pulling out a small porcelain bottle from the chest of her clothes.

The crowd:

Yingbao took the porcelain bottle and slapped her, “You said you didn’t take anything! What is this?”

Chen Tiantian fought back desperately, scratching at Yingbao and screaming, “It’s mine! Mine! Give it back to me!”

Previously, a voice in her head seemed to be luring her to steal the pills from Jiang Yingbao’s medicine box, saying that it could change her life. Hence, she quietly opened the small box while no one was looking, and truly found a small porcelain bottle at the bottom of the box, which made her ecstatic. So how could she let Jiang Yingbao take it back?

“Give it back to me! Give it back to me! That’s my pill!”

Chen Tiantian, departing from her usual gentle and modest demeanor, sobbed and fought with Yingbao over it. As if she had suffered a great injustice, everyone hesitated.

Could it be that the porcelain bottle was really hers?

Doctor Li frowned at Yingbao and asked, “Yingbao, is that pill bottle really yours?”

Yingbao kicked off the desperate Chen Tiantian, quickly retreated, and coldly said, “Of course, it’s mine.”

Then she took out another identical porcelain bottle from her pocket, “This is the emergency pill I prepared. If Grandfather Li doesn’t believe it, he can open it and see.”

Doctors always carry some emergency medicines in their medicine boxes, like Zixue, Zhibao, knockout drugs, Powder for Anesthesia, and special pills or powders for resuscitating patients with internal and external injuries.

Wealthy doctors would also keep some ginseng slices in their medicine boxes to help patients with severe diseases replenish their vitality.

It was not surprising for Yingbao to have her own homemade pills in her box.

Doctor Li took the two porcelain bottles and opened one to look inside. Indeed, the pills inside were identical, and even the fragrance was the same.

This refreshing fragrance was familiar and tantalizing.

Before he could take a closer look, the porcelain bottle was taken away by Yingbao.

Doctor Li lightly coughed and said to Chen Zhao and Li Xihua, “You two, take Chen Tiantian to the backyard.” His medicine counter was almost crowded out with people watching the commotion.

Then he said to Yingbao, “You go to the backyard too.”

The saying goes that family squabbles should not be aired in public. Although Chen Tiantian was not his own child, she was, after all, an apprentice in his house. Even if she committed theft, it was improper to embarrass her in public.

Yingbao agreed, tidied up the medicine box and locked it.

As for the porcelain bottle, it was safer to keep it in the furnace cave.

She blamed herself for thinking that nobody would touch her medicine box. Earlier, she was in a hurry to retrieve the needles and didn’t lock it immediately, thus leading to this unfortunate incident.

Why did Chen Tiantian take her medicine? The way she looked frantic and pale, as if she were the victim and the owner of the porcelain bottle, was very unsettling.

Something was not right.

In the backyard, she found Chen Tiantian sitting on the ground, sobbing, while Li Xihua and Chen Zhao stood some distance away, whispering to each other.

Yingbao, medicine chest on her back, walked straight to her room and began packing her daily necessities and clothes.

Tomorrow was the Double Ninth Festival, her father would surely pick her up to celebrate. She decided she wouldn’t come back afterwards.

Seeing the Chen sisters every day, Yingbao felt mentally drained. She did not want to lay eyes on them at all.

If so, she wouldn’t mind staying away from the clinic either.

Having finally been reborn, she did not want to feel aggrieved again.

Li Xihua walked into the room, Chen Zhao following behind her.

“Yingbao,” she came up to Yingbao, “Sister Tiantian is so pitiful. Can’t you just give in to her a little bit?”

Yingbao was folding clothes into a bundle and asked, “How should I give in?”

Li Xihua: “Just let her have the medicine bottle. She, she has been crying non-stop”

“No way!” Why should she give her own stuff to a creepy and annoying person?

Chen Zhao suddenly spoke: “Cousin says that the medicine bottle was originally hers, and you took it from her.”

Yingbao turned around, looking at Chen Zhao in a rather grim way, “Tell her to say that to my face.”

Chen Zhao sneered: “She’s afraid you’ll hit her, she wouldn’t dare to come.”

Yingbao ignored her, putting everything into her bag, leaving nothing behind, not even a toothbrush.

Li Xihua, surprised, asked: “Yingbao, why have you packed all your things?”

“I won’t be coming here anymore, so of course, I took all of my things with me,” Yingbao replied.

Li Xihua was anxious, grabbing at the clothes in Yingbao’s hands: “Why? Aren’t you going to study medicine anymore?”

“No, I don’t want to see the two of you with the surname Chen,” Yingbao said bluntly.

Hearing this, Chen Zhao became angry and jumped up: “We don’t want to see you either!”

“Perfect, don’t ever appear before me again, or I’ll give you a beating each time I see you.” She used to beat Chen Zhao often in her previous life, developing quite the knack for it.

Thus, they were practically mortal enemies, and the fear of being beheaded in the government office was the only thing preventing an outright killing.

Now, Yingbao was even less apprehensive. If anyone dared to bully her, she wouldn’t hesitate to retaliate.

“How dare you!” Chen Zhao clenched her fists, cracking her knuckles, glared at Yingbao, and cursed under her breath.

But that was the only way she could vent her anger since she had no chance of winning against Yingbao.

“Hmph! As if we want to see you!” Chen Zhao turned around and stormed off.

Li Xihua looked at Chen Zhao walking away, then seriously told Yingbao: “You should not always resort to violence. They are older than you. Grandfather says we should respect our elders and not be violent to them.”

Yingbao: “I’m their senior sister; it’s perfectly within my rights to correct them. Plus, they were the ones at fault first.”

Li Xihua:

She realized that Yingbao did kind of have a point.

When Doctor Li came to handle the apprentices’ quarrels after seeing his patients, he found them acting as if nothing had happened.

Chen Tiantian stopped crying, her face clean, gazing off in the direction of Yingbao’s room.

Seeing Doctor Li, Chen Tiantian ran over, timidly saying, “Grandfather Li, I, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have taken Yingbao’s things. Can you, can you not let her leave? I’ve already apologized to her”
