Doctor Lu also said, “That’s right, our Lu family used to be so noisy too, but aren’t we better now?”

Old Lady An finally smiled slightly: “I hope so too.” Then, she looked back at her husband on the bed. Seeing his hand moved, she rushed towards the bed and held his hand tightly: “Husband, are you awake? Are you awake? If you’re awake, open your eyes and look at me.”

Bai Zhi and Doctor Lu also came forward. They watched Village Chief Li slowly open his eyes and stared at the old lady in front of him. Seeing her eyes were red and her face was full of tears, he laughed and said: “What are you crying for? I’m not dead yet! ”

Seeing that he can still joke around, the old lady felt at ease. However, she still cried while scolding him.

Bai Zhi and Doctor Lu leave the room. Then, Bai Zhi said to Doctor Lu: “I’ll write him a prescription, but I’ll trouble you to help him prepare his medicines.”

Doctor Lu busily said, “Look at what you are saying, what trouble? I’m a doctor, so isn’t it just normal to do this?”

Bai Zhi took the brush and paper that he handed over. She quickly wrote down the prescription and said: “Although these herbs are not expensive, they always cost money. I will pay for the expenses.”

Bai Zhi took some broken silver from her purse and handed it over to Doctor Lu, but Doctor Lu pushed her hand back: “I have these herbs at home, so you don’t need to spend money to buy them. These herbs don’t even cost a few silvers. You don’t need to give me money.”

All the people in the village got helped by Village Chief Li. He helped them a lot. So now that he was in this situation, helping him was only natural. There is no need to ask for money.

Seeing Doctor Lu’s determination, Bai Zhi no longer insist and just asked with a smile: “I heard from Lu Pingan, your ointment has been selling pretty well recently, and even in the capital?”

Doctor Lu happily said: “I was about to tell you this. I changed our ancestral recipe according to what you said, I added some Selaginella. As you said, the effect became much better. At first, I put the ointment on sale in the medical. No one asks for it. I guessed those guys didn’t help me to sell it. Later on, I went to the medical hall to check it out. I met two people looking for an ointment. I introduced to them the ointment that I made. They don’t believe me what I said, but they bought 2 pieces to try. Who knows that after a few days, those people came to the village to find me. They asked me to send them a dozen pieces of the same ointment, but when I sent them the copy, they were sold out in the capital. Yesterday, the owner of the medicinal hall also told me to make another batch of ointment, they will send it to the army for the wounded soldiers. The time they give me is very tight. They only give me 7 days to produce a thousand pieces. I can’t finish it alone.”

Bai Zhi was moved deep inside her heart, so she asked with a smile: “So you think of me, you wanted me to help you do it together?”

Doctor Lu quickly nodded: “I know you’ve been busy recently, but this matter is too urgent.”

Bai Zhi said: “I can help you, but I can’t help you in vain.”

Doctor Lu laughed and said: “Of course, this new ointment can actually be considered as a partnership between us. How about we split the earnings in half? What do you think?”

Bai Zhi nodded her head: “It’s fair, so that’s settled then?”

Doctor Lu immediately said, “Okay, it’s settled. I’ll go to the town to get the medicinal herbs now. Let’s start when I get back.”
