CHAPTER 82: CHAPTER 82: NO MORE STENCH

Mrs. Chen thought about it and got a bit flustered. No way, she never wanted to get entangled with that family of vicious wolves and tigers again, always quarreling and never having a peaceful day.

The days now are so comfortable.

Just like Yun Jiao said, was that life we lived before even a life?

She squinted her eyes, "You reminded me, I’ll drag Zhao Lizheng to the county tomorrow, even if it costs some silver, I must get the household registration done quickly!"

She looked at Yun Jiao, "Don’t worry, I’ll get a separate household registration for you."

Yun Jiao smiled, "Thank you, mother."

"Oh, right, I need to quickly go and brew medicine for Sanlang." Saying this, she hurriedly headed out.

Mrs. Chen watched Yun Jiao’s back, feeling a bit sour inside. Thinking about such a good girl eventually leaving her made her reluctant.

The next day, Mrs. Chen indeed went early to find Zhao Lizheng, and then took Liu Er’s carriage to the town with him.

This trip took almost a whole day.

By evening, Yun Jiao was cooking in the kitchen when Mrs. Chen came in from outside.

Mrs. Chen pulled out two household registration papers from her bosom and held them in front of Yun Jiao’s eyes, "All done."

"Our family has separated, and I’ve set up a separate household for you."

Yun Jiao beamed, "Thank you, mother."

Mrs. Chen glanced at the fragrant dried tofu stir-fry in the pot, and then saw many snails in a wooden basin on the ground.

"Where did these snails come from?"

Yun Jiao chuckled, "Liu Lang took Xiao Chuan and San Ya to pick them. I thought of raising them for a few days, until they’ve purged the mud and sand before eating."

Snails generally carry parasites, but after being cooked at high temperatures for a long time, the parasites and their eggs can be killed.

Today, Yun Jiao instructed Liu Lang not to touch snails in the future as she feared the kids might get infected with parasites by going into the water.

The next day, Yun Jiao sent San Ya to Guihua’s house, asking her to tell Guihua to buy two bone tubes tomorrow, and some pork liver if available.

San Ya came back and said to Yun Jiao, "Sister-in-law, Ah Tie is looking at our house from behind that tree outside. Is he looking for you?"

Yun Jiao tapped her forehead, "Oh right, today should be the sixth day. Let me go see him.

She stepped out, and San Ya tugged on her coat from behind, "Sister-in-law, are you really going? He smells really bad."

Yun Jiao smiled, "He’s sick, once he gets better, he won’t smell anymore."

She went out and indeed saw Ah Tie under the tree.

Ah Tie peeked out half of his face from behind the tree, wearing a shy smile.

Yun Jiao walked over, and Ah Tie eagerly said, "Doctor Gu, I think I’m already healed!"

"I’ve used that pig— that ointment for three days, and it’s no longer oozing."

"Last night, before applying the medicine, I even touched it, and scabs are starting to form on my head."

Yun Jiao smiled warmly, "Really? Lower your head and let me take a look."

Ah Tie lowered his head, and Yun Jiao saw that the swelling and sores had indeed disappeared, and the previously oozing areas had started to scab over.

She then took a deep sniff.

Ah Tie’s face changed dramatically when he saw her action.

Yun Jiao laughed, "Don’t worry, there’s no smell at all."

Ah Tie still couldn’t quite believe it, "Really, it doesn’t stink anymore?"

Just then, Aunt Qin came out of her house and overheard their conversation. She stopped, staring at Ah Tie for a while, "What’s going on? The sores on Ah Tie’s head are really healed?"

Tears welled up in Ah Tie’s eyes as he nodded vigorously, "Yes, really healed, all scabbed over."
