Is the beginning of a catastrophe? The little farm cook is raising a family with a full warehouse.

Chapter 192: A Beautiful Jade with Flaws

After a moment, he slowly spoke, "The wound has already damaged the internal organs. The situation is far more serious than I imagined."

"Not only that, judging by the wound's marks and healing progress, the weapon that inflicted it was most likely poisoned. The toxin's penetration into the skin not only severely impacted the wound's normal healing, but also significantly prolonged the festering process, causing irreversible damage to the skin tissue. The hope of complete healing and restoration is extremely slim."

He secretly sighed in his heart that such a beautiful face ended up like this, just like a beautiful jade with a flaw, which was really regrettable.

When Shen Shulan heard this, a trace of despair flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She picked up the veil on the table with her bare hands. The thin silk gauze brushed across the scar, causing a slight tremor. She raised her chin even higher, "I'm lucky to be able to save my life. This scar... just serves as a warning."

At this moment, Xu Ranyuan suddenly changed the subject: "Ordinary doctors would be helpless in the face of such injuries, but I have a wonderful method that can completely eliminate this scar."

He paused slightly, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes. "Use Snow Soul Ganoderma Lucidum with Moon-Seeing Blood Vine, supplemented with Hundred Herb Frost, and blended into Jade Muscle Cream. Then, use a special medicinal fumigation method, and perhaps it will reshape the skin and restore it to its original state."

Shen Shulan's hand suddenly stopped, and the veil that she had already picked up slowly fell down again. She raised her head and stared straight at Xu Ranyuan, as if to confirm the truthfulness of his words.

Seeing this, Xu Ranyuan's expression remained unchanged as he continued, "However, the treatment period is quite long, at least half a year, and you must apply the medicine on time every day without any slacking. During the treatment, the medicine will irritate the wound, and pain is inevitable. Miss Shen needs to be mentally prepared in advance."

Cheng Yuntao turned to look at Shen Shulan, her eyes full of concern, and tried to persuade her softly and hard: "Sister Shen, just stay here and recuperate. Don't worry too much."

As she spoke, her eyes lit up: "Why not let Master Xu stay here as well? Firstly, it will be more convenient for Sister Shen to receive treatment, and secondly, it will be more convenient for Master Xu to eat here in the future!"

As soon as she said this, Cheng Yuntao couldn't help laughing, but then she frowned slightly, looking distressed: "But in this case, these rooms are indeed not enough to accommodate us."

"But I'm still well off now. It wouldn't be difficult to buy the house next door and connect it into one. That way, everyone can live in more spacious accommodation."

Shen Shulan lowered her eyes, feeling very conflicted. She came to see Cheng Yuntao just to see her and report her safety, and never thought of staying here for a long time.

She said softly, "Yuntao, I appreciate your kindness, but I..." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Ranyuan.

Xu Ranyuan looked concerned, his tone unquestionable and firm: "Miss Shen, don't rush to refuse. Stretch out your wrist and let me feel your pulse."

Shen Shulan was slightly startled. After hesitating for a moment, he temporarily put aside his response to Cheng Yuntao and stretched out his wrist.

Xu Ranyuan stretched out his finger and gently placed it on her pulse, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

After a while, Xu Ranyuan said solemnly, "Miss Shen, there's a residual poison in your body. It's been dormant for a long time. If it's not removed in time, it will cause great damage to your body. The toxin will gradually erode your internal organs, and then you will gradually lose your five senses. By then, even a normal life will be difficult to maintain."

Cheng Yuntao became even more worried when she heard this. She grabbed Shen Shulan's hand and said, "Sister Shen, you can't leave. You're out here alone. What if the poison takes effect?"

Shen Shulan was also stunned. She had never thought that her health was so bad. Thinking back to the occasional dizziness and weakness in her limbs during these days, it now seemed that it was all the toxins that were at work.

She knew in her heart that if she insisted on leaving, she would be alone outside and the consequences would be disastrous if the poison took effect.

After thinking for a long time, Shen Shulan finally raised his head and nodded gently: "Okay, I'll stay."

Cheng Yuntao instantly burst into laughter, her face filled with joy: "That's great, Sister Shen, you can just rest here and recuperate, and don't worry about anything else."

……

Cheng Yuntao acted quickly. After confirming the arrangements for this matter, she immediately went to find Li Fu, established connections, and bought the vacant house next to Taohua Courtyard.

Then, the craftsmen quickly came in and the sound of clanging and hammering could be heard.

When the middle wall was being demolished, dust was flying everywhere. Jiang Yu rolled up his sleeves, held the hoe, and hit the wall again and again, using all his strength in each hit. The dust fell down and covered his hair and clothes.

Although Xu Ranyuan was not good at physical work, he was not willing to be outdone. He helped carry the dismantled bricks and stones, time and time again. His forehead was covered with sweat, but he just wiped it with his sleeve and continued to work.

Shen Shulan helped organize the tools, sorting and placing hammers, nails, etc., and served tea to everyone from time to time. Looking at everyone's busy figures, his eyes were full of gratitude.

Cheng Yuntao shuttled among the crowd. She picked up a broom and swept together the broken bricks and dust on the ground. Then she turned around and discussed with the bricklayer how to build the new wall to make it more solid and beautiful.

With everyone's joint efforts, the merged house was quickly renovated.

Brand new beams and pillars support the spacious space, and exquisitely carved window lattices let in soft light, making the whole house look bright and warm. The place that originally separated the two houses has now become a spacious corridor, connecting the two.

When discussing how to redistribute the houses, everyone seemed a little hesitant.

After all, in the original peach blossom courtyard, everyone has become accustomed to their own little world, familiar with those familiar corners and the scenery outside the window. Moving to a new place means adapting to the new environment.

Cheng Yuntao saw what everyone was thinking and suggested with a smile, "Since everyone is used to living in the old place, there's no need to force it. Let's use the extra rooms in this new house as guest rooms. When friends come over on weekdays, they can have a comfortable place to stay."

After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Shaobing and asked in a gentle voice, "Shaobing, do you want to continue living in the same room with Cheng Jingzhu, or do you want to live in a separate room?"

Before Shaobing could answer, Cheng Jingzhu jumped out: "Sister, just let Shaobing and I live in the same room! It will save us the trouble of moving here and there." As he said that, he put his arm around Shaobing's shoulders, looking very familiar with her.

Shaobing scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "Yes... yes, it's good to live with Jingzhu. We can take care of each other." Although he spoke a little stutteringly, it can be seen from his eyes that he is actually happy to continue living with Cheng Jingzhu.

Cheng Yuntao also smiled and nodded: "Okay, then it's up to you."
