"I'm not hungry, why are you looking for me?" Xia Li asked Sun Chun.

"Who said that they were going to buy a shop today? Could it be that you've paid your debt and are preparing to sleep soundly every day? " Sun Chun was a little unhappy and could not help but tease her.

"I remember now, let's go. You should put the food back in the kitchen." As Xia Li said that, he directly went around Sun Chun and waited outside the door.

Sun Chun brought the food to the kitchen. When he arrived at the door, Xia Li had already walked forward a little, and the atmosphere was different from before, when they chatted and laughed; this time, Xia Li especially restrained himself, and maintained a safe distance from Sun Chun. The two walked forward, one behind the other, and only silence was left, the atmosphere was a little suffocating.

Xia Li also felt that it was a little uncomfortable at the start, and she couldn't help but say a few words to ease the atmosphere a few times. But when she thought about how when this man wasn't here, she would sink into too deep of a depression, and the one who would be hurt would be herself. It would be better to just distance herself from him slowly from the pain, so that when he left, she wouldn't feel too sad.

Sun Chun naturally noticed Xia Li's intentional estrangement. He felt a slight pain in his heart, as if someone had stabbed him in the heart. Although it was the result he wanted, it was still extremely uncomfortable when the situation had developed as he had wished.

The two of them arrived at the town in silence. By this time, the market place in the town had already become lively.

Xia Li and Xia Qing went to the bank first and obtained 400 taels of silver, which they used to rent or buy shops.

Xia Li and Sun Chun arrived at the teeth shop that was located in the golden area of the Red River Town. Xia Li familiarly found the tooth shop Ah Mu who helped her buy a house in the Tianshui Village last time.

"Miss Xia Li, what kind of house did you come here to buy again?"

"I want to buy a shop and open my hospital." Xia Li went straight to the point.

Ah Mu's eyes turned, he thought about controlling the room source in his hand, and seeing that Xia Li was rather generous the last time he attacked, he took the initiative to ask.

"Miss Xia Li, when opening the hospital, we must definitely choose a place with a large number of people, bustling area, and good feng shui area. To be honest, I have a few shops in my possession, I will bring you to them, and only those that you like, the prices will be negotiable."

Ah Mu said as he pulled Xia Li to see the house.

"Where are the official teeth? This shop in the town is not like the village where there is no official contract and no official seal on the contract. Even if Xia Li obtains the house, it would be very hard for the authorities to recognize him, so when the time comes, he would be punished by half for buying the house, who would be able to bear the consequences? "

Sun Chun stood beside Xia Li and looked at him coldly, asking without a trace of politeness.

"This?" Naturally, Miss Xia Li had already chosen the shop. We would ask Master Guan Ya to supervise the transaction and facilitate the completion of this transaction. " Ah Mu was startled, and quickly reacted.

Xia Li listened to Ah Mu's stuttering explanation, and was immediately alerted. She had just arrived, so she did not know much about the ancient rules of the trade.

Xia Li gratefully looked at Sun Chun, patted his shoulder, put away his smiling face, and turned to face Fang Xing Ah Mu.

"Don't play any more tricks. Otherwise, I can find someone else for this business."

"I don't dare, I really don't dare." Ah Mu was so anxious that he started sweating profusely as he shook his hands frantically.

"Let's go to the shop." Xia Li did not reply to Ah Mu's apology. Instead, he turned and urged him to leave.

"Alright, alright, I'll take you guys there." Ah Mu wiped the sweat off his forehead and tried his best to force out a smile that was uglier than a cry, bringing Xia Li and Sun Chun along with him as they walked down the street.

She only felt her heart shake a little, and quickly turned her head around, pretending to be nothing. As she walked forward, her heart was still beating non-stop, her little face was hot, and when she passed the bustling market, she conveniently bought a fan, and continuously fanned it, trying to fan the heat on her face.

Along the way, people stopped to look at four or five courtyards. For a time, Xia Li did not manage to think of which one she should enter, but when Ah Mu brought her to the last courtyard, her eyes immediately lit up.

In front of him was a courtyard filled with beggars. The door was covered with dust and cobwebs, making it look quite dilapidated.

Ah Mu pushed the door open, waving the dust in the air, he introduced the both of them.

"Miss Xia Li, in this courtyard, you can set up your hospital in the front yard, and in the back yard, you can set up track and field, as well as vegetable gardens, orchards and shops. It's just that you haven't had the time to tidy them up yet." Just as Ah Mu finished speaking, Xia Li asked impatiently.

"How long has this courtyard been sold to your Fang Clan?"

"In less than a month's time, this Grand Master Ding had left in a hurry, and the selling price was not high either. After all, this house is an old hundred year shop, and the courtyard is a little shabby."

"Actually, the few shops I saw just now are all better than this one and the area is more prosperous. Do you want to consider other shops?" Ah Mu asked Xia Li again, not giving up.

"I'll be buying this one then. Go and invite Old Master Guan Ya over. We'll sign a contract to buy the house right in front of our faces and complete this transaction." Xia Li said firmly.

"Alright, please wait for a moment. I'll go ask old Master Guan Ya to come over." Although Ah Mu didn't understand why Xia Li liked this shabby looking shop, he still went to the errand boy who had done his duty.

"You should still prefer the shop left behind by Grand Master Ding Ding Liang." Sun Chun looked at the shop in front of her, then walked to Xia Li's side and observed her moist eyes.

"Although Grand Master Ding has moved away from the Red River Town, I still want to open a shop here. My heart is relatively at peace."

As Xia Li said this, he forced a smile to appear on his face, but he was still unable to conceal the trace of disappointment in his eyes.

Under the supervision of the officials, Ah Mu and Xia Li signed their names on the official contract for the sale of the house. Xia Li gave four hundred silver coins to Ah Mu personally, and after Ah Mu confirmed the price, he handed the contract over to Xia Li. Both parties left behind a contract for the sale of the house.

When Ah Mu and Shangguan Ya left, Xia Li held the room contract in her hands, her heart had a sense of peace, she was about to start a new life again.

She walked to the entrance of the shop and saw Sun Chun. She took the initiative to walk over and asked: "Are you feeling better?"

"Just now I suddenly had abdominal pain. Maybe it's because of the knife wound from before. I feel much better now. I think the shop bought it." Sun Chun glanced at the room deed in Xia Li's hand and asked.

"I've bought it, exactly four hundred silver." Could it be that Xia Li was feeling a bit more relaxed now? He shook the room deed in his hand, and under the light of his eyes, his small face shone with a healthy rosy color, which caused him to be unable to hold back from doing the same thing. He walked over to her and gently stroked her face, calming his flustered heart gradually.

Xia Li was stunned, he looked at the beggar at the entrance of the shop, and felt a bit embarrassed, but he took a big step back. Sun Chun retracted his hand, and a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

"Everyone, this courtyard belongs to me. I might have to trouble everyone to find another place to stay in the future." Xia Li politely talked to the group of beggars in front of the shop, hoping to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

"You are a woman who frequently goes in and out of Grand Master Ding's hospital, right? We recognize you, and Grand Master Ding is usually good to us, so he won't make things difficult for you." The old beggar in the lead wore tattered clothes, opened his muddy eyes, stared at Xia Li for a while, then took the lead to leave.

"Yes." Xia Li replied with a smile.

Under the old beggar's lead, the rest of the beggars left together. In Xia Li's heart, there was an additional trace of guilt towards Ding Liang, who wanted to approach her.

In less than half a month, Xia Li and Sun Chun had contacted the Medicinal Herbs Shop and bought a batch of medicinal ingredients. Using their human teeth, they bought two shop assistants who were in charge of catching the medicinal herbs and treating the patients.

The family moved from Tianshui Village to the town. Xia Qing started to study in the town's private school, while Lee's tried to find a way to make all sorts of delicious meals for everyone. His life was quiet and comfortable.

Although Sun Chun and her relationship was still neither hot nor cold, she could clearly feel that every night before she went to bed, a man would silently stand by her window to protect her. Even if she were to bring the shop assistant back to the Nine Dragon Mountain in the village to gather medicinal herbs or go to the town's market to buy daily necessities, Sun Chun would actively follow by her side.

But when Xia Li stayed at the hospital to see who was the patient, it was as if Sun Chun had disappeared from the world. He was not in the courtyard, nor was he in the hospital.

She was often woken up by fright in the middle of the night, worrying that he had already left. When he appeared at the table, Xia Li's anxious heart would finally be at peace.

On this day, Xia Li was just about to stay at hospital to receive treatment when a shabbily dressed middle-aged man with a face full of stubble, and whose eyes were cloudy, rushed forward and kneeled in front of her without caring about the obstruction of the hospital helper, scaring her.

"Uncle, is there something troubling you?" Xia Li thought that a person who didn't have the money to treat illnesses would come up and ask for medical treatment, so he quickly stood up and prepared to be helped by others in the future.

"My daughter, I'm your father!" The middle-aged man cried as he shouted.

Hearing that, Xia Li was stunned, he stood there in shock for a long time as he thought about the man in front of him. After looking for a while, when compared to the man named Xia Manjiang who looked like his father, wasn't he the man in front of him?

Xia Li stopped moving and sat back down, continuing to help the work at hand.

"My daughter, I heard that you helped father pay his debts, and that you are truly father's good daughter. Now, father no longer has to live like a street rat, and all wrong is father's fault. Father knows that he has repented, so you let father go home, is that okay?" Xia Manjiang pitifully begged Xia Li in front of him.
