Bai Jiang didn’t take a deep breath. Zhao Min was an extremely vicious woman. Because of jealousy, she had done so many things to hurt her, causing her family to be ruined.

Since she had been reborn, she wouldn’t let Zhao Min get away with it!

One step at a time, one meal at a time.

There was still a long way to go.

In the evening, Bai Jiang gave Bai Zhen acupuncture as usual, but Bai Zhen didn’t cooperate like before.

She asked Bai Jiang, “Mommy, why did you come back here?”

She had a feeling that her mom and grandpa hadn’t finished their conversation earlier, that there was something she didn’t know.

Bai Jiang couldn’t help but smile, but her hands didn’t stop. She said, “Mommy needs to earn money.”

In the future, the economic development of this village would be much faster than her working alone. Before the economy took off, she had to establish herself and make money to continue her research from her previous life.

However, these were all afterthoughts. The most important thing now was to earn money and make good use of the resources around her.

“Baby, go to sleep. It’s late,” Bai Jiang gently patted Bai Zhen, and soon, she fell asleep.

Bai Jiang planned to use this quiet time to think about what she should do.

Although she needed to lease the mountain for farming, there would be no income until the harvest.

On the contrary, she would have to invest a lot of money to revive the mountain.

What should she do?

After careful consideration, Bai Jiang decided to set up a free clinic at the village entrance.

She would start by treating minor ailments and gradually move on to more complex illnesses. This way, her reputation would also rise.

With a good reputation, she could attract more patients and earn money to continue her research from her previous life.

Once she had figured it out, Bai Jiang made up her mind. She would set up a consultation table at the village entrance during the weekend.

Although she had treated her father in front of everyone and achieved some results, not everyone believed in her medical skills.

For instance, even after successfully treating her father, Great Master still didn’t believe she knew traditional Chinese medicine.

That being the case…

After giving it some thought, Bai Jiang decided to employ a hunger marketing strategy.

She would limit the number of patients to ten per day.

As long as she could gather ten patients on the first day and successfully treat them, she wouldn’t have to worry about the future.

Just as Bai Jiang was contemplating these matters, a “ding” sound suddenly rang in her mind.

“Congratulations, the host has triggered the main quest, Heal the Sick and Save Lives. Treat 100 patients within 15 days. Completing the quest will bring generous rewards, but if you fail, the space will collapse.”

Bai Jiang was taken aback. Did space collapse?

“What will happen after the collapse?” Bai Jiang asked.

After asking, Bai Jiang realized that she had asked a foolish question.

“After the collapse, everything will be gone,” the system replied.

“No!” Bai Jiang stood up abruptly.

If the space collapsed, the Spirit Spring Water would also disappear. In that case, her baby’s health would not improve.

“Mommy…” Bai Zhen, who was sleeping, seemed to sense Bai Jiang’s movements and whimpered.

Bai Jiang quickly lay back down next to Bai Zhen and propped up the consultation table. There was no time to waste!

The next morning, during breakfast time, Bai Jiang mentioned her plan to hold a free clinic.

When Bai Shu heard this, he quickly said, “Alright, alright! We’re all villagers, and it’s kind-hearted of you to want to help everyone. I’ll support you!”

With Bai Shu’s assistance, Bai Jiang quickly set up a table at the village entrance.

“Oh, isn’t this Bai Jiang? What are you doing?” someone exclaimed.

“Uncles, aunties, everyone, I’m here to offer free consultations. I’ll treat your illnesses, and if you’re not sick, I’ll simply check your pulse for peace of mind,” Bai Jiang announced.

Hearing Bai Jiang’s words, someone quickly asked, “Free?”

“Yes, consultation is free. If you need to get medicine, please go to the town’s pharmacy to buy medicine.” Bai Jiang said with a smile.

Upon hearing that it was free, people quickly gathered around. At that moment, an elderly woman approached and said, “Bai Jiang, take a look at me. I have chronic cold legs, and they hurt terribly whenever it rains. Can you help me?”

Just as Bai Jiang was about to ask her to extend her hand, a voice interrupted.

“What are you doing? Bai Jiang, are you fooling around?”

Bai Jiang looked over. The person who spoke was Great Master. He was so angry that his face turned red.

“How long have you been studying medicine? And now you dare to conduct consultations here? Seems like you’re just joking around,” Great Master scolded Bai Jiang.

“Don’t worry, Great Master. I have confidence in my medical skills. You witnessed how I treated my father yesterday,” Bai Jiang replied with determination.
