Once again, she saw the old doctor take the pulse of another patient, say nothing, and the patient left without paying.

She probably understood that if the illness couldn’t be treated, or if the condition wasn’t pointed out, there would be no charge. However, if it was pointed out, even if it couldn’t be cured, there would still be some charge, similar to modern registration fees.

The village doctor also charged ten copper coins, not cheap at all… Thinking of his home visits, this doctor practiced in a pharmacy, two different things. If this doctor made a house call, it would definitely cost more than this.

After leaving the pharmacy, Xiao Yishan took her to another pharmacy to buy a set of silver needles and the medicine Fourth Brother needed to take for the next ten days. Holding a medicine bag in one hand, he handed a pack of silver needles to Su Qingyue.

She nodded slightly to show her thanks. She also knew that he spent a tael of silver without hesitation, and her second brother really treated her well.

Xiao Yuchuan complained, “Just a set of silver needles, why does it cost one tael of silver, it’s simply robbery.”

Xiao Yishan said, “If my wife likes it, let it be expensive. The silver needles used in acupuncture vary in length, are finely made, and poor quality ones can’t be used to avoid breaking in the flesh during treatment. They are completely different from ordinary embroidery needles.

“That’s true,” Xiao Yuchuan nodded. “I don’t mind spending the money, it’s just that silver is so easy to spend. I still want to buy my wife a better set of clothes, but I’m afraid there won’t be enough money.”

“Let’s go to the cloth shop first,” Xiao Yishan had wanted to buy clothes for his wife for a long time.

After Su Qingyue’s dirty clothes were washed clean by the petty cat, her second brother put them away in the cabinet, and she changed into them, wearing the men’s clothes he had given her earlier for the next few days.

Now she was back in her only set of clothes, with more than a dozen patches on them.

Fortunately, though old, she had washed them very clean.

The three of them walked down the street, with rows of neatly arranged houses on both sides. The shops on the left and right of the first floor had their doors open, selling rice, tea, wine, and food… There were also many street vendors, grocery vendors shouting enthusiastically, fruit vendors sitting on stools behind their stalls waiting for customers…

Today happened to be market day, and even though it was getting late, people were still bustling in the streets.

Su Qingyue slowed down her pace, admiring the ancient town, walking several streets without reaching the edge, which meant the town was not small.

She didn’t curiously look into other people’s shops or stands, as she didn’t have a single copper coin in her possession. She didn’t like asking questions without money, just in case the shopkeeper became enthusiastic and she happened to come across something she wanted to buy.

Xiao Yuchuan walked beside her, cheerfully saying, “Wife, if there’s anything you want to eat or buy, I’ll buy it for you as your husband!”

When he received no response, he remembered she couldn’t hear him, so he stood in front of her and asked, “What do you want to buy?”

She shook her head. Actually, she wanted to buy two sets of clothes. Forget it, she would stay at their house for a few more days. Once she cured her deafness and earned some money herself, she would buy her own clothes without spending other people’s hard-earned money.

Seeing her shake her head, both brothers felt uncomfortable. They both understood that their wife was trying to save them money, and they secretly vowed to earn more money and do their best to give her a good life in the future.

“Follow me!” Yuchuan pulled her hand and entered a secluded cloth shop. The shopkeeper lady was….contemporary romance
