Chapter 1096: Cost Cutting

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Tingrui was a very intelligent man. When he heard what his little sister suddenly said, he instantly caught it. He scratched his head without making another sound.

Every now and then when his little sister got serious, she could be pretty intimidating.

Huo Yao removed the last needle 30 minutes later. As she sterilized her needles, she asked him. “Brother Tingrui, when are you going back?”

“Twill go after I wrap up the case... probably in a few days.” Huo Tingrui sat down and moved his arm and shoulder. He found that everything felt alright. Then, he took his clothes from the side and put them on.

Huo Yao nodded. “Okay. I will give you treatment on the day you go back.”

Huo Tingrui was buttoning his shirt when his hand trembled. He looked at Huo Yao and asked in shock. “Again?”

“Uh huh.” Huo Yao placed the sheepskin roll into the box and closed it shut.

Huo Tingrui’s face twitched. He went quiet briefly before speaking again. “Yao, tell me honestly. Am I sick?”

Huo Tingrui recalled his captors injecting him with something after he was taken away. He had asked the doctor about this while he was at the hospital. Since the doctor said his report came back normal, he did not follow up on this.

Then again, if he was fine, why would his little sister give him medicine and treatment?

Huo Yao glanced at him and asked rhetorically. “Do you think you are sick?”

Huo Tingrui did not know what to say.

“Wouldn’t the hospital know if you are sick?” asked Huo Yao.

Huo Tingrui went quiet.

Huo Yao took the box and headed out of the room. When she got to the entrance, she paused and tilted her head sideways slightly. “Doesn’t it cost money to get meds from the doctor?”

Huo Tingrui’s face instantly looked upset.

Her last line was her most important point.

1

She had given him acupuncture treatment to cut costs.

Huo Tingrui went back to bed. He was seriously starting to consider severing ties with his stingy little sister.2

Huo Yao went back to her room and put away her things. Then, she took out her phone and sent Chairman Wang a text message asking for the association’s postal address.

When Chairman Wang received the text message, he was very excited. He had just handed the Chinese herbs to the young woman yesterday, but she was able to refine pills in just a day. Initially, he wanted to meet her to collect the pills, but he paused and contemplated.

He could tell that Huo Yao was not particularly enthusiastic about the Apothecaries Association. If he kept harassing her, she might leave the association altogether.

1

Chairman Wang had a keen interest in ancient prescriptions. He decided to work on being friends with her first and hence, give her no excuse to leave the association at any point in time.

1

He eventually sent her the Apothecaries Association’s address.

After receiving the address, Huo Yao arranged for a local same-day courier.

‘When she was done talking to Chairman Wang, she texted Don’t Steal My Lingzhi, asking for her address as well.

Fu Ya told Huo Yao to send it to her work address at an ordinary Chinese pharmacy.

Fu Ya had gotten changed and was preparing to knock off slightly after 5:00 pm when she happened to receive a locally shipped parcel.

Fu Ya was puzzled. She had not done any online shopping recently. Even though Huo Yao had asked her for her address, Huo Yao was residing in City S. Any package from City $ would take at least a day to reach the capital.

Fu Ya looked at the delivery package and double-checked that it had her name and number on it. Then, she thanked the delivery man and accepted the package.

It was a relatively small box, so Fu Ya opened it effortlessly. When she saw the contents of the box, a look of surprise emerged in her eyes. She quickly picked up the box again to check the sender’s address.

It was from the capital.

Fu Ya was stunned. After composing herself, she took out her phone and sent Huo Yao a text message: [Do you live in the capital?]
