Han Family’s face changed slightly at the sight of Yingbao, but she didn’t say anything. She quietly held her baby and sat down on one side.

As for Chen Changping, he ignored Yingbao entirely, focusing on seating himself on another bench to rest.

Yingbao was confused as to why Chen Changping had come back.

Wasn’t it better for him to stay in Prefecture City? Why would he rush back in such hot weather?

But the question that she didn’t ask was raised by Doctor Li.

After checking Madame Feng’s pulse and feeling her forehead, Doctor Li said to Old Chen, “Madame Feng has a heat stroke. Rest and drink some water, she should be fine. It’s not a big problem.”

As he said this, he instructed his grandchild to pour a few cups of tea for Old Chen and his companions and to prepare a bowl of honeysuckle tea for Madame Feng.

Old Chen thanked Doctor Li, saying, “Thank you for your concern, Doctor Li.”

Doctor Li waved his hand dismissively, curious, he asked: “Brother Chen, have you just returned from Prefecture City?”

“Yes,” Old Chen replied. “My second son is preparing for the county examination next year and needs to register early in the County Government.”

Not only did they need to register, but they also needed to ask the tutor to make arrangements for forming a group with five other candidates and requesting a government-supported student to vouch for them.

These affairs must be planned in advance. If delayed, they might not find suitable candidates and a government-supported student who were willing to form a group.

“I see,” remarked Doctor Li.

After chatting with Old Chen for a while, Doctor Li saw some patients coming into his clinic and went to tend to them.

After drinking the honeysuckle tea, Madame Feng looked considerably better, and Old Chen bid farewell to Doctor Li.

Before leaving, the members of the Chen Family glanced at Yingbao. Chen Tiantian even gave her a friendly smile.

Yingbao smiled back and waved to her.

Chen Tiantian blinked, turned around and quickly left.

At night, Yingbao laid in the mosquito net, waiting for Li Xihua to fall asleep before she quietly entered her cave realm.

Standing on the brown earth, she looked up at the apple tree rooted at the top of the cave and decided to climb and see if she could pick any Wuding mushrooms.

Although she had been apprenticing at Doctor Li’s clinic recently, she hadn’t neglected her daily exercises. Climbing a tree wasn’t difficult for her.

Rubbing her hands together, Yingbao tied a rope around her shoulder, used her limbs and started climbing the tree.

She quickly climbed to a tree fork and tied the rope to a solid branch. The other end of the rope was tied around her waist.

Gathering Wuding mushrooms was important, but her life mattered more, so she made sure she was safe.

She climbed the highest branch and soon reached the top of the cave.

The branches here were thin and nearly couldn’t bear her weight, but she still couldn’t reach the mushrooms.

Yingbao didn’t rush. She just looked around at the top of the cave.

The Wuding mushrooms here seemed different from those on the cave’s walls. The leaves were larger and more translucent. Some of the leaves were even the size of an egg.

There was a bud resembling a lotus platform in the middle of these large leaves, releasing a faint fragrance.

Yingbao pulled out the prepared shovel from her bag. Standing on her tiptoes, she reached out and tried to dig into the large leaves above her head.

Several leaves and a bud fell off, two of which landed directly on her face.

Yingbao caught them, but then the thin branch under her feet suddenly broke. She fell down abruptly.

The sudden incident shocked her, and she screamed. Fortunately, the branches and leaves buffered her fall, and the rope tied around her waist stopped her from falling to her death.

After she climbed down slowly, she found several scratches on her face and body.

She picked up the fallen Wuding mushrooms, dusted off the dirt, tasted them, and found that their taste was similar to that of their smaller counterparts.

Yingbao quickly finished a whole leaf in a few bites, then stowed the rest in her pocket before cautiously descending the steps down to the gourd boat.

After leaving the cavern, she curiously found the scratches on her body were gone.

A few days later, it was Yingbao’s day off. Jiang Sanlang and Chunniang came in a horse-drawn carriage to pick up their daughter and do some shopping at the market.

On the way, Chunniang and her daughter discussed the recent happenings of the Chen Changping family.

“The Chen family has been building a house recently and Chen Laoshuan has even bought lots of good farmland from neighbouring villages, all of them top-quality paddy fields.”

Those were the fields that her daughter had declined to buy, and they had all been snapped up by the Chen family.

“Han Family had a son, named Chen Xubao.” Chunniang frowned, “Yesterday, Chen Feng’s wife and Han’s wife brought their two girls to our house with a bunch of gifts, apologizing to your grandparents for past misunderstandings. They promised to have a good relationship with us from now on and even suggested their daughter Chen Zhao become Dani’s sworn sister.”

Yingbao was speechless, “Who proposed that?”

Chunniang: “Who else would it be? It was that Chen Feng’s wife. She was crying and repenting in front of your grandparents, saying all her past actions were due to confusion. Phew! Fortunately, your grandparents didn’t agree. They told your father afterward, who was quite furious.”

Such bizarre people are rare. Fortunately, they at least had the decency not to mention Yingbao, otherwise she and Sanlang would definitely have had to teach them a lesson.

Seeing that her daughter remained silent, Chunniang pulled her into an embrace, “Don’t worry, Baobao. It doesn’t matter if they come back. Now that Han’s wife has a son, who she treasures greatly, she wouldn’t dare to harass our family anymore.”

Everyone has their weak points. Han’s wife’s weak point is her son, so she will probably not dare to do anything to Yingbao anymore.

Yingbao nodded: “Hmm.”

Han’s wife had finally achieved her wish to have a son, thus it seemed she wouldn’t stir up any more trouble. The son, Chen Xubao, was now seven or eight months old, and seemed to truly be Chen Changping’s offspring.

In this case, she herself seemed to be of no use to Han’s wife anymore, so there should be no further involvement with her family, right?

That was excellent.

Yingbao quietly let out a sigh of relief.

When they got home, two dogs came sprinting from afar. They pounced towards Yingbao, almost knocking her over.

Jiang Wu also ran up, putting on a serious face and asking, “Have you been slacking off with your martial arts training?”

Yingbao pinched his cheek and laughed, “I’ve been diligent. If you don’t believe me, let’s have a match.”

“Then let’s compete!” Jiang immediately took his stance, intending to spar with his sister.

Yingbao removed her small bag, warmed up by circling around Jiang Wu, then suddenly extended her leg to swipe him down.

“Ha ha, you lost!” Yingbao laughed triumphantly.

Jiang Wu, red-faced with frustration, scrambled up from the ground, “You are not adhering to martial ethics and played dirty!”

“Regardless of playing dirty or not, I won in the end,” Yingbao decided to teach her brother a lesson by example, “Once on the battlefield, the one who wins gets to live. Who cares about martial ethics?”

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Wu used a grappling technique to flip her over, causing her to land hard on her back.

“Ha ha ha!” It was Jiang Wu’s turn to gloat, he stood with his hands on his hips and laughed “This is called ‘a taste of your own medicine’!”

Yingbao, grimacing while climbing up, pointed at Jiang Wu, “Good job! I won’t share the good stuff with you later! Hmph!”

“What good stuff?” Jiang Wu was curious.

Seeing his sister paying him no attention, he quickly said, “I’ll allow you to knock me down one more time, okay? What’s the good stuff?”

Yingbao picked up her bag and went into the house, “Body Strengthening Tea.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wu immediately followed her, “Really, Body Strengthening Tea?” He still remembered the tea his sister made him drink every night when he had just started practicing martial arts. It had a faint fragrance and left him refreshed. By the next day, his bodily pain and soreness were completely gone, and his stamina was gradually increasing.

But later, for some reason, the tea was no longer there. He asked Yingbao about it, and she simply said it wasn’t ready yet and asked him to drink another tea, called Health Tea instead.

Although the Health Tea was somewhat useful, it was not as noticeably effective as the Body Strengthening Tea.
