Xiaoxiao left the room, anyway, those two were copying books, and nothing major could happen for the moment.
She needed to go back to her room and think everything over from the beginning—how had things become so complicated?
In the end, Xiaoxiao concluded that the crux of the matter lay with Li Fugui. As long as Li Fugui was cured, all the problems would be solved. Yang Qiu would not be mistaken for Xiaotian, and the situation with Xiaotian would also become clear.
The key to curing Li Fugui was to find the real Xiaotian, but for a peasant household, searching for a person was exceedingly difficult—it looked like a dead end no matter how they saw it.
Xiaoxiao racked her brain until it ached. If Xiaotian really was Yang Xia, then her cheap husband would be very happy. Thinking of her cheap husband, a clever smile appeared in Xiaoxiao’s eyes—hmm, even if it was a dead end, they had to break through it.
In the afternoon, her eldest brother Yang Chun came back, "Third sister-in-law, the doctor has arrived."
"Ah, I’ll be right there." Xiaoxiao immediately went out after hearing this. This doctor was reliable; maybe they wouldn’t even need to find Xiaotian to cure Li Fugui’s illness!
Li Fugui really worked hard for Xiaotian’s sake, copying books all day long, which moved Xiaoxiao.
After entering the room, she quickly pulled Yang Qiu aside and whispered, "Xiaoqiu, that’s the doctor to treat Li Fugui. Tell him it’s to look at his injury. Before, we said we would bring Xiaotian with us, and that’s why he agreed to treatment. Now that we’ve found you, he might not listen to us anymore."
"Okay," Yang Qiu complied and walked over to Li Fugui’s side, "Fugui, you have an injury. I’ve invited a doctor to come take a look."
Li Fugui heard Yang Qiu and stopped writing, smiling and agreeing, "Okay."
They sat down, and the doctor began to take the pulse. Everyone waited nervously, and it was not long until the doctor had finished. Xiaoxiao immediately asked, "Doctor, how is it?"
"Let’s talk outside."
"..." Li Fugui didn’t recognize them anymore. Talking outside or inside made no difference; he couldn’t understand either way. Though she thought this, Xiaoxiao obediently followed him out to the main house.
"On the way here, I heard about it. You’ve already sought doctors for this injury. The main issue is that this person is not quite sane, right?"
"Yes, doctor, do you think he can still recover?" Hearing him ask this way, Xiaoxiao felt that the doctor was reliable after all, getting straight to the point without rehashing the injuries Li Fugui had suffered.
"What happened to him that caused him to become , do you know?"
"We don’t really know. It’s just a speculation that the woman he loved left him. He loved deeply and couldn’t bear the blow, and he became obsessed with searching for that woman. But later, after meeting my little sister, he started to mistake her for that woman."
"So, that woman is the key!"
"..." She had just praised him, but now why did this seem so ominous? This was going round in circles like the previous doctors. The key was Xiaotian—it was obvious even from thinking with one’s toes.
"According to the pulse diagnosis, this man has no actual illness. His condition isn’t the same as your little sister’s previous illness. He doesn’t need to take any medicines for this kind of treatment, and acupuncture is unnecessary as well."
"He is just like a normal person now. Finding that woman is key. Have you checked his belongings to see if you can find any clues?"
"..." Li Fugui brought very few things with him. How could she have forgotten to check them? Perhaps there was something left by Xiaotian among them.
"However, I have a method that might be worth trying!"
