Translator: 549690339

Two days later, at Woniu Village.

Su Hu’s family led two young horses across the river by boat, returning to their home. It wasn’t long before the newly built quadrangle was surrounded by villagers who had heard the news, making it impossible to pass through.

The children clung to the wall, gazing excitedly at the two horses—one male, one female, one black, one red—both with shiny coats and sturdy bodies, chattering and laughing nonstop.

“Hu’er, impressive, your trip to Mingshui County has been fruitful. You even bought the horses! It must be the good fortune of the ancestors of the Su Clan, blessing their descendants with wealth and prosperity.”

The Old Village Chief took the lead, pushing open the door and stepping into the courtyard under the envious eyes of the villagers, stroking the horses’ silky manes and praising them with smacking sounds.

“Hehe, it’s all because Sister Qiao has grown up and wants to learn horseback archery.”

Seeing the Old Village Chief enter, Su Hu hurriedly dropped his work and approached him in a few steps: “Xue’e and I discussed and decided that it’s better to buy young horses instead of grown ones since the children are small and it would be difficult to tame the adult horses. Moreover, these small horses can also help with household chores when they grow up.”

“Rearing horses isn’t easy!”

The Old Village Chief, with his vast experience, chuckled and offered advice: “Without proper feeding and care, the horses will lose weight. They need a stable to get through the cold winters, and when they get sick, they need veterinary care. It’s like raising a child.”

“Hehe, indeed, these young horses are delicate.”

Su Hu agreed: “That little red horse got sick just one day after we bought it. It had diarrhea and was so weak that it couldn’t walk, lying listlessly on the ground.”

“Fortunately, Sister Yu knows a bit of medicine. She gathered some medicinal plants on the way, fed them to the horse, and it finally stopped having diarrhea, slowly recovering its strength and managing to travel back with us.”

“Sister Yu knows medicine? She can treat horses?”

The Old Village Chief’s heart trembled, stroking the horse’s head in disbelief.

“Of course, my Sister Yu.”

“Don’t listen to his nonsense. She’s just a child, what medical skills could she know?”

Hearing the Village Chief’s doubts, Li Xiu’e came out of the house, rolled her eyes at Su Hu, and interrupted his boasting.

“It was just a coincidence that she knew a few wild plants that happened to help the horse stop its diarrhea. Right, my husband?” “Hehe, yes, yes, a coincidence, just a coincidence.”

Su Hu accepted his wife’s eye roll, came back to his senses, and grinned foolishly.

Kim Sister was too young to understand medicine at the age of five, and even though Xue’e and her husband were used to their little daughter’s precocious wisdom, they could hardly believe it.

Being a Fortune Child born with good luck and possessing medical skills are two completely different concepts.

The former can be attributed to good fate and is easily accepted by others.

The latter, however, requires years of hard work, study, and experience to master before one can save lives with medical skills.

Li Xiu’e, with her delicate mind, was cautious not to let others know more about their little daughter’s secrets, lest it arouse the villagers’ suspicion and cause unnecessary trouble.

“Haha, Sister Yu is indeed fortunate—she can even cure diseases with random wild plants she picks.”

The wise Old Village Chief saw that the couple was trying to change the subject, and he went along with it smoothly.

“You’re right, Elder. My Sister Yu is indeed fortunate.”

Su Hu now had an excuse to proudly boast about his daughter, and the doting father’s heart stirred once more.

“Enough, Father, the Village Chief has taken the trouble to visit us. Why don’t you invite him in to have a seat instead of standing outside?”

Li Xiu’e slapped him lightly and urged him to welcome the guest inside.

“Don’t bother with formalities.

The Old Village Chief petted the horse’s mane, satisfied, and walked out with his hands behind his back: “You two just got back from the county town, you must be tired. Clean up and rest early.”

“Village Chief, please wait.”

Su Hu quickly took out two packs of tea from his backpack and handed them to the Old Village Chief: “This is to show my respect for you, Elder, jasmine tea we bought in the county town.”

“Haha, thank you, Hu’er. I’ll gladly accept it.”

The Old Village Chief carried the tea, happily humming a tune as he left the courtyard..
