My older sister, born in the 1970s, stole my marriage; I took my three treasures and blew up the fam

Ruan Tinghe was shocked. Was this old Chinese medicine doctor really that amazing? He only glanced at her and knew she wasn't sick?

Her attitude became increasingly respectful. "Grandpa, I'm here to seek medical treatment for my daughter."

"Why didn't you bring her along?"

Ruan Tinghe smiled awkwardly: "I came out to run some errands and didn't bring her with me."

It can't be that she made the decision on a whim, and after selling her things, she found out that the old Chinese medicine doctor's address was nearby, so she took the opportunity to find out the old doctor's preferences so that she could decide what gift to give him, right?

"That's right, she..."

The old Chinese medicine doctor raised his hand to interrupt: "Bring the person here first."

"Sorry, can I bring her tomorrow?"

The old Chinese medicine doctor reminded her, "I only treat colds, fevers, and sprains. If she doesn't have any of these illnesses, she doesn't need to bring herself here."

Ruan Tinghe's heart sank, and she immediately took out her most valuable collection from her spatial storage—a set of Yixing clay teapots.

That was during the supermarket's big lucky draw during Chinese New Year, and she won the grand prize!

The luckiest time of my life!

I originally intended to keep it as a souvenir, but now I can only give it as a gift.

If she could cure Xiaobao, she would be willing to do anything, even empty her space, let alone give him a set of Yixing teapots.

"Grandpa, this is a treasured Yixing teapot from my ancestors' collection. I only ask that you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted again.

"What tea? I don't like tea. If you're not going to see a doctor, then leave."

The old man told her to leave, and Ruan Tinghe, not daring to offend him, had no choice but to go.

She made up her mind. She would bring Xiaobao tomorrow. If once or twice wasn't enough, she could come more often to make her presence known and find out what other gifts the old man liked besides relics.

Besides, Xiao Bao is so cute, what if the old Chinese medicine doctor is so charmed by Xiao Bao's cuteness that he agrees to treat Xiao Bao's illness?

After leaving the old Chinese medicine doctor's house, Ruan Tinghe went to the state-run department store and bought cotton shoes for the children to wear in the winter. Ruan Jiaojiao's money was not going to be wasted!

When they got home, the three little ones were sitting on the carpet counting money.

They were counting the two one-yuan bills back and forth. Da Bao counted them, Er Bao counted them, Er Bao counted them, and Xiao Bao counted them...

Even when Ruan Tinghe returned, they didn't greet her warmly anymore.

Ruan Tinghe asked curiously, "Where did the money come from?"

Da Bao said proudly, "It's the money we got for catching snakes and petty thieves! We argued with them for two days before they finally gave us the money!"

"Did Section Chief Li give them to you?"

"Hmm! It's a pity it's only two yuan, not even as much as Erbao earns from drawing!"

Erbao agreed, "That's right, it's too little! If Uncle Shen were the section chief, he would definitely give a lot more!"

Ruan Tinghe said helplessly, "Two yuan is enough to buy a lot of things, don't be greedy!"

Although she also felt that Section Chief Li was a bit stingy.

A poisonous snake! Two thieves!

They only gave me two yuan!

However, less money has its advantages. The problem is that if too much money is given, the children might think they can make a lot of money and then frequently take risks in the future.

She only hoped that the incidents of slaying poisonous snakes and catching thieves would happen once and never again.

It's terrifying to even think about.

"Mom, have you eaten? Great-Grandma has heated up some food in the pot. Da Bao, shall we bring it to you?"

Da Bao was about to run out when Ruan Tinghe grabbed him and pulled him back with one paw.

"No need, Mom isn't hungry."

It's only been a short while since I served a big bowl of beef brisket noodles, no wonder I'm hungry.

"Why didn't you go play with Xiaolong today? And where's Uncle Aze?" Ruan Tinghe asked casually as she took off her coat and changed her shoes.

Erbao sighed, "Sigh, Xiaolong's mother is sick, and Xiaolong has to take care of her."

Ruan Tinghe was surprised. Liang Yali was fine just two days ago. How could she suddenly get sick?

Since they were one of her few friends in Shanghai, Ruan Tinghe planned to visit them.

"Mom is going to visit Aunt Yali at Xiaolong's house. Do you want to come?"

"go!"

The three little ones quickly got up and started dressing themselves.

Suddenly, the table lamp that had been sitting on the table fell down and landed at Ruan Tinghe's feet.

Ruan Tinghe bent down to pick it up, and the three little ones suddenly stopped, looking at Ruan Tinghe nervously.

Ruan Tinghe raised her eyebrows. Something was wrong; something was very wrong with the three little ones!

Ruan Tinghe picked up the lamp and looked closely, but couldn't see anything. However, the three little ones' attitudes were clearly problematic!

So she deliberately raised her voice, "What's wrong with this table lamp...?"

She drew out the last syllable of her voice, and sure enough, the three little ones tensed up, their gaze sweeping over each of them as Ruan Tinghe looked at them.

Erbao's eyes reddened, and she was about to cry.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I made my brother take the lamp apart."

It was opened?

Ruan Tinghe carefully inspected the lamp again and found no signs of it having been disassembled.

"Why take it apart?"

Erbao timidly pulled a piece of paper folded into a small square from his pocket and handed it to her.

"I wanted to know what the inside of the lamp looked like, so I asked my older brother to take it apart. I even drew a picture of it. Mom, don't blame my brother. He was trying to help me, and that's why the lamp broke!"

Ruan Tinghe pressed the switch, but it didn't light up.

Erbao's tears were already welling up.

"Mom, hit me! I broke the lamp; it won't light up after I put it back on!"

Ruan Tinghe took the lamp and walked behind the curtain. "You all wait here for me, and don't peek!"

After reaching the back curtain, Ruan Tinghe took the table lamp into the space and plugged it in.

The table lamp came on again.

It was because the power was out!

Back to reality, walk out empty-handed.

"Mom," Da Bao stood up, looking like a little man protecting his younger brother, "I took it apart, it's not your brother's fault. If I hadn't helped him take it apart, he definitely wouldn't have been able to do it himself."

"I broke the lamp, so hit me if you want!"

Erbao wiped away her tears and pulled him back, saying, "It's not my fault, brother! It was me, I insisted he take it down!"

Da Bao's eyes also turned red, looking like he had done something wrong and was waiting to be punished.

Just as Ruan Tinghe was about to say something, Xiao Bao rushed over, hugged her leg, looked up at her with his little face, and shook his head.

"Ahhh!"

Ruan Tinghe patted her head: "Alright, Mommy won't hit anyone!"

Ruan Tinghe wiped away Erbao's tears, "The lamp isn't broken, it's just out of power. It will light up once it's fully charged."

Erbao was stunned for a moment, then excitedly asked, "Really?"

"Of course, when would Mommy lie to you? Mommy has already taken it to charge, so we can continue using the table lamp tonight!"

"Yay! The table lamp isn't broken!"

"Yay! Yay! Yay!"

"Aaaaaah!"

The three little ones hugged each other and excitedly spun around.

"Don't be too happy yet. Besides the lamp, what else have you taken apart? Tell me honestly." She crossed her arms. She knew the three little ones too well; this definitely wasn't the first time they'd taken apart furniture!

It's just that the lamp ran out of power this time, and they thought they had broken it, which is why they were so guilty and she discovered their secret.

The spinning stopped abruptly, and the three little ones looked awkwardly at Ruan Tinghe.
