Liu Siyue worked all night and finally finished plowing the land at the beginning of the morning. Looking at her masterpiece, she felt a sense of pride.

Exhausted, she lay on the edge of the field like a dead dog, with the Bull Demon King lying beside her, his heavy breathing coming out of his nostrils.

"Thank you for your hard work, Bull Demon King. I'll fetch you some water later."

After she had rested, she remembered her child. She had completely forgotten about the child all night, only knowing how to mechanically till the land. She scrambled to her feet, patted the mud off her body, and headed towards her room. The supermarket, which had been pitch black, was now lit up. Did this mean she could go in?

She cautiously entered, and sure enough, she didn't bump her head and successfully got into the supermarket. She jumped up with joy, realizing she'd have to work harder from now on. But she couldn't think about that too much; the child was more important.

When Liu Siyue entered the room, she saw that the child was already awake and playing by himself. She went to the bedside and glanced at him. The child saw her, clapped his hands, and smiled at her, saying, "Wait for Mommy. I'm going to take a shower first, and I'll hug you when I come out."

The sound of running water came from the bathroom. When the water stopped, Liu Siyue came out wrapped in a white bathrobe and wearing a hair drying cap. She walked to the bedside and took the child's hand. "Yao'er is such a good baby. She knows how to care for her mother. She doesn't cry or fuss. I'll make you some milk now."

She picked up the baby, who kept snuggling into her arms. She was completely charmed by the baby's actions. She put the pacifier to the baby's lips, and the baby immediately took the pacifier into its mouth and began to suck on it vigorously.

After the child finished eating, she started crying. "Yao'er, why are you crying? Did you eat too much?"

She sniffed, trying to decipher the smell. She smelled herself and then her child, finally finding the source of the odor: the baby had pooped. She felt a little disgusted; her family had always cleaned up after her before, but this time she had to do it herself. Being a mother is truly not easy.

Liu Siyue put the child on the bed, put on her mask first, and then took off the diaper. When she saw the stench on the diaper, she almost vomited. Holding the diaper in her hand, she said, "Yao'er, you poop so much."

Yao'er mentally complained about her mother, "This is for two meals."

She put the baby down, but forgot that the baby had poop on his bottom. When she came back after throwing away the diaper, she found that the poop had stained the sheets. She slapped her forehead, realizing how careless she had been.

When I lifted the child's bottom, I saw that the poop was all dried up on it. I guess I'm still inexperienced as a mother. Judging from the marks on the ground, the child had pooped before and had been soaking in poop all night. I feel so guilty.

She carried the child to the bathroom, turned on some hot water to wash and dry the child's bottom, and then put on a diaper. "Are you comfortable now? Lie down quietly, Mommy will go wash the sheets."

She threw the bed sheet into the washing machine, and before she could even eat anything herself, she first fetched a bucket of water for the Bull Demon King, then came back to get a box of cake to eat, and made herself a glass of milk.

After she finished eating, the child had already fallen asleep. She went to the pharmacy counter in the supermarket and took out a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs, blood-activating and stasis-removing drugs, cleaning solutions, and topical ointments. She also took other things and put them in the room for future use.

After all that fuss, it was already Chen Shi (7-9 AM). She left the space and knocked on Zhou Xiangxing's door. The door opened after just one knock, and she entered the room before saying, "Xiangxing, here's my plan for today. We'll go out and have breakfast first. When you come back alone, wait for me at the inn while I go find your medicine."

"Won't people misunderstand you if you go there to find medicine?"

"Don't worry about that. I know the owner and doctor of the clinic in the county town, so it's fine."

"After I get back, let's go to the real estate agency together to look at houses. Let's try to settle on a house today and move in tomorrow. That way, it will be more convenient for us to do whatever we want in the future."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Liu Siyue's arrival put Zhou Xiangxing at ease. She had once had an affair with her man, and all she had done was help her when she was in her most difficult time. She felt ashamed that Liu Siyue could treat her like this.

"April, I'm sorry!"

"Sorry for what?"

"Back then, to get revenge on Lu Yunping, I... and Lu Yunzhou..."

"You mean those two scumbags? He was heartless to me, and I had no feelings for him either! Why talk about them? It's all in the past. Who cares about those scumbags? I'd feel disgusted even if they gave me money back."

Our new life has just begun, and the future will be even better.

"Let's go have breakfast."

The two arrived on the street and found a wonton stall to sit down. Each of them had a bowl of steaming, fragrant pork wontons. The taste was really good. Liu Siyue couldn't help but praise in her heart that the ancients were also very particular about food.

After finishing a bowl of wontons, Liu Siyue felt much better. She paid the bill and told Zhou Xiangxing to go back to the inn first, while she went to find the medicine.

Liu Siyue strolled around the street and discovered that the former jewelry shop had been turned into a small restaurant. She asked the vendors around her and learned that Zhucui Pavilion had moved to another place. She couldn't help but chuckle to herself, thinking that it served it right.

She went to a general store and bought a water pouch and some small porcelain jars. She found a secluded spot, went into her space, disinfected the items, squeezed in the ointment, the anti-inflammatory medicine (in capsules), and the blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine (in sugar-coated yellow tablets). She removed the outer packaging of each item and put them into the porcelain jars. She also tore off the labels from the cleaning solution, filled the water pouch with spiritual spring water, and then left the space, taking the items back to the inn.

"Xiangxing, we've found the things, but we can't tell anyone else about them. Just the two of us know." Zhou Xiangxing nodded, as if she understood.

Liu Siyue explained to her how to use each item, "The water in this water bag, every time you take medicine, drink a small sip. This is specially prepared by the doctor, so be sure to keep it safe, as this medicine is very rare."

I'll go get some hot water from the waiter. Take your medicine now and apply the ointment.

The waiter brought over a pot of hot water. Zhou Xiangxing took her anti-inflammatory medicine, then held the ointment in her hand, looking shyly at Liu Siyue. "Do you need any help?"

"No need, I can manage."

"Okay, call me if you need any help." Liu Siyue went out, closed the door, and returned to her room.

Zhou Xiangxing first picked up two anti-inflammatory pills. The pills looked strange, short and half blue and half white. She had never seen such a pill before. They looked very strange. She put them in her mouth and before she even drank any water, she felt the pills slowly dissolve in her mouth. She gulped down a mouthful of water and swallowed the pills.

She picked up the blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine, which was small and flat, like a bean. It was surprisingly sweet when she put it in her mouth. The water slid down her throat as soon as it entered her mouth. This medicine was really good, even better than decoction. She picked up the water bag and took a small sip. It was cool and sweet, and she felt completely comfortable.

After finishing the medicine, she started applying it. Opening the porcelain jar, she saw the white ointment, which looked so white and delicate that anyone who didn't know better would mistake it for a skin-brightening cream. She applied a little to the wound first, and it felt cool and refreshing. The burning pain and itching sensation immediately lessened considerably. This medicine was really effective.

She carefully examined each medicine; the doctor's skills were truly superb. She packed all the medicines into a bundle, opened the door, and went to find Liu Siyue.

"I'll be better in April."

"Come in first."

Zhou Xiangxing pushed open the door and saw Liu Siyue lying on the bed, lazily looking at her. "How do you feel after applying the medicine?"

"It works great, thank you!"
