Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Liu Siyue shook her head, indicating that cooperation was not possible. "Manager, are the Huichuntang in the county town and the Huichuntang in Sifang Town the same company?"

"Yes, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"My main goal is to find other clinics to accept the medicinal herbs I've collected. I've already asked Huichuntang in Sifang Town, but they don't accept ordinary medicinal herbs. They only accept precious herbs like old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. Where would we find so many precious medicinal herbs to collect?"

They said Huichuntang has fixed procurement channels and doesn't accept loose medicines. That's the main reason I came to the county town this time.

The shopkeeper laughed again, "I thought it was something serious. Nothing is absolute. I can guarantee that if you send your medicinal herbs to Huichuntang in the county town, as long as they are of good quality, I will accept them all. Now you can rest assured." The shopkeeper thought to himself, "So this is what she was waiting for. She wants me to buy her herbs, but she doesn't say it outright. She's just waiting for me to ask. This woman may be a country girl, but she speaks and acts in no way inferior to a lady from a noble family."

"Thank you very much, shopkeeper. I only have 5 jars here, and I can only give you 3 at most. I need to keep 2 jars for myself and go to other clinics."

"Why is that? It would be easier for you to start by selling everything to me?"

"What if the shopkeeper gets promoted and leaves Shuiling County one day? Wouldn't I then have nowhere to sell my medicinal herbs again?"

The shopkeeper chuckled again. This girl was quite frank, and he liked dealing with people like her. "Thank you for your kind words, young lady. I won't force you. Even if I leave here, I will make sure to find a successor and continue to collect your medicinal herbs."

"Thank you, shopkeeper. Since you've said so, I'll give you four cans as a token of my gratitude for your help."

"After all this talk, I still don't know how to address you, young lady?"

"My surname is Liu, and my given name is Siyue. You can just call me Miss Liu, shopkeeper."

"Miss Liu, my name is Wang Dehai, you can just call me Manager Wang."

"Thank you so much, Manager Wang, for accepting my medicinal herbs today."

"Don't mention it, it was just a small favor. I'll introduce you to the other guys later, and we'll accept all the medicinal herbs you bring from now on."

Liu Siyue received 24 taels of silver. After Manager Wang introduced her to the shop assistant and the young apprentice in front of the pharmacy, she happily left Huichuntang.

Passing by Tong'an Hall, I went in for a look. The clinic was indeed quite large and nicely decorated, but the staff were unfriendly. The clerk looked her up and down, clearly impatient. "Seeing a doctor or getting medicine? Do you have enough money?"

"I'm not here to see a doctor or get medicine, and I don't have enough money. I'm just here to keep you guys busy." After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. The waiter hadn't understood what she meant and looked confused. He just cursed, "Poor bastard."

She was on her way to Jishetang when she passed a jewelry shop. She was about to go in to see if they had any mirrors now when she stopped. Her clothes were too shabby to be suitable for such a place. She decided to go in later.

She walked around Jishetang and found that the honey syrup had also sold for 6 taels of silver, and the shopkeeper agreed to buy her medicinal herbs.

Liu Siyue went to Baicaotang again and saw that most of the patients there were poor people. She went in to ask if they bought medicinal herbs. The owner of the pharmacy told her that they did buy medicinal herbs, but the prices were low.

She asked why. The owner of Baicaotang told her that the patients who came to Baicaotang were all poor people, and the consultation and medicine fees he charged were very low. If the purchase price of medicinal materials was too high, the clinic would not be able to stay in business.

Many of the medicinal herbs sold at Baicaotang are donated by villagers. Although the prices are low, it is still a source of income that can supplement their household income.

In Lingshui County, only Baicaotang Clinic accepts medicinal herbs from individual patients; other clinics do not.

Liu Siyue understood, thanked the shopkeeper and left. The aroma of food on the street made her stomach rumble. It was lunchtime. She walked a short distance and saw a restaurant. Although it was not on the main street, there were quite a few customers coming and going.

She originally intended to enter the restaurant as is, but then she thought that dressed like this, and being a lone woman, she would inevitably attract attention. It wouldn't be good if she were targeted by someone with ill intentions, so she decided to find a quiet place to change her clothes and disguise herself.

Looking around, she saw an alleyway with no one around. After changing her clothes in her spatial dimension, she took a good look at her appearance. The original owner of the body was quite good-looking, not the delicate and pretty type. Now that she was eating well and getting enough nutrition, she even had a heroic air about her.

The original owner's family members were all quite tall. She estimated that they were around 168 centimeters tall. Although they were not as tall as her in her previous life, she was still very satisfied with their height and appearance. At least she wasn't short and ugly.

My second uncle's daughters are all quite tall and prettier than me. After putting on some makeup and changing clothes, I found a folding fan in the crafts section of the supermarket and came out of the space. Dressed in an elegant blue robe, I walked around waving a retro folding fan, looking every bit the dashing young gentleman.

Upon arriving at the restaurant entrance, he looked up and saw the sign "Xiang Man Lou" (Fragrant Pavilion). A waiter greeted him with a smile, "Please come in, sir. Would you like to dine in a private room upstairs or in the main hall downstairs?"

"The lobby." She saw a few people chatting, so she sat down not far from them, wanting to hear the gossip of the county.

As soon as Liu Siyue sat down, the waiter brought tea and asked her to order. "How am I supposed to order if you don't have a menu?"

"Young master, you are probably not a local or you don't dine at restaurants often. The menus of all the restaurants in Lingshui County are displayed on the walls of the lobby. If you would like to see them, you may move over there."

Liu Siyue felt a wave of embarrassment. She had forgotten all about it. She quickly made up a lie, "This young master has been studying away from home for many years and has never returned. He has become accustomed to the lifestyle outside. Come on, take this young master to see him."

She glanced at the menu: an eight-treasure chicken, a steamed sea bass, and a vegetable dish. These three items cost more than two taels of silver, which was indeed quite expensive, but she had to eat them anyway.

After ordering the food, she returned to her seat and listened to others chatting while drinking tea. "Tell me, how could God treat such a good person as the magistrate like this? His wife and daughter have both contracted that deadly disease. All the doctors in the county are helpless, and even the doctors from the prefectural city have been invited, but they still can't do anything. I heard that the mother and daughter are in excruciating pain every day."

It seems this magistrate has a good reputation. I wonder what illness they have that causes so much pain. Could it be cancer? Liu Siyue thought to herself as she continued to listen to them. "The doctor said that this snake-like thing can't be cured. Acupuncture can only relieve the pain."

The magistrate, still unwilling to give up, issued a notice throughout the county, stating that anyone who felt they had a way to cure the illness could try, and would be richly rewarded; even if the illness was not cured, he would not be held responsible.

Only then did Liu Siyue realize what illness the county magistrate's wife and daughter had. "Snakes around the waist" is shingles, which may have been incurable in ancient times, but it can be treated now. The effect would be even better if it was combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment.

She quickly finished her meal, paid the bill, and went to the medicine counter in her space to look for medicine. Sure enough, she found it, but she couldn't take it out. She then searched for books on traditional Chinese medicine and found relevant treatment methods. She quickly found paper and pen to copy them down, and then returned to her original village girl attire and appearance before hurrying to Huichuntang.

She couldn't just listen to what those few people said, so she went out to inquire in the streets. Everyone had a high opinion of the county magistrate. Since he was a good official, she wanted to do her part so that the people could live better lives under his rule.
