Chapter 30: The Cleverest Child
Sun Daqing exclaimed in surprise, "Little Cousin, you said you want us to help you dig for medicinal herbs?"
"SHH~" Zhao Zhitong covered Sun Daqing’s mouth with her small hand and whispered, "Second Cousin, keep your voice down. This is a secret."
"Right, right, secret, secret," Sun Daqing whispered, laughing foolishly and covering his own mouth. "Little Cousin, what do you need the herbs for?"
Zhao Zhitong said, "Daddy’s leg hurts, and I want to help him treat it."
At this moment, eldest cousin Sun Daji spoke up, "Oh, it’s for that. Little Cousin, you don’t have to worry. My grandfather is already providing medicine for your daddy."
Zhao Zhitong blinked. "Really?"
It was no surprise Zhao Zhitong didn’t know. Zhao Dong, fearing the strong medicinal smell would affect her, only brewed the medicine after dinner. And after dinner, she either disappeared or went to sleep, so she had no idea her father drank medicine every day.
Sun Daji nodded affirmatively. "Of course, Grandpa is a physician."
Sun Daqing also chimed in, "That’s right! And if you want to find herbs, you don’t have to go to the mountains. We have plenty at home."
Upon hearing that their house was full of herbs, Zhao Zhitong’s eyes lit up, and she excitedly asked, "Really?"
Sun Daqing nodded eagerly. "Absolutely true. My uncle travels around collecting herbs. Do you want to see?"
