Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 121 I Want to Be Human

"Yes, it must have been something you ate that caused the poisoning. Afterwards, you probably took some antidote, but it wasn't completely effective, so the toxins accumulated in your body. That's why your health hasn't been very good all these years. For example, you cough and have a fever when it's cold, and you get rashes when it's hot and you sweat." Yunyi withdrew her finger.

“Yes.” Scholar Jia nodded. “That’s right. I was quite healthy when I was a child, but I became much weaker later. I fainted on the last day of the exam that year.”

"Your inability to have children has nothing to do with Aunt Mei. It's the toxins in your body that are killing your fertility. Even if you get pregnant, you won't be able to hold the pregnancy. To be honest, if it's not completely cured, it will have a significant impact on your lifespan. If you want to have children now, at most in three years, you will be unable to keep up."

"Yunyi, can it be cured? I'll do anything as long as it can be cured." Jia Liushi grasped Yunyi's hand tightly.

"Although it has taken a while and is somewhat difficult to treat, it is treatable, but it will take a long time, probably three to six months..."

"Sure, not just six months, but a year is fine too, we'll do as you say."

"Then I'll write a prescription first. You can take the medicine for seven days, and then I'll give you acupuncture to remove the toxins." Yunyi said as she walked to another table, picked up a pen, and wrote a prescription. "You can get the medicine from my master. He has all these medicines, and they're much cheaper than at the clinic."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Jia Liushi picked up the list and ran out.

Yunyi couldn't help but laugh. This was too fast; the ink wasn't even dry yet.

“That’s just how she is, with such a short temper,” Jia Xiucai couldn’t help but say.

“Uncle Scholar, no matter what happens in the future, don’t let your aunt down.” Yunyi looked at Jia Xiucai. “You are blessed to have such a good wife. A man who mistreats his wife will never have any wealth.”

"I understand. I wouldn't be where I am today without her. If I were to let her down, I would be worse than a pig or a dog. What would be the point of my education?"

Yunyi nodded, "It's good that you understand."

Jia Liu quickly returned with the medicine bag and a bottle: "Doctor Wang said it was just prepared, do you know what it is?"

Yunyi opened it and immediately recognized it as a scar removal cream. Then she went to find Er Ya and Wu Ya: "This is a scar removal cream, do you dare to try it?"

"I dare." Er Ya nodded first. "Mine is on my leg, I'll try it first." Even if the effect is not good or there are other problems, it doesn't matter, her leg won't be exposed. But Wu Ya's is on her face. If something happens, her face will really be ruined.

"Okay." Yunyi thought to herself, "Although Er Ya has a fiery temper and is easily angered, she is really a good older sister. She always thinks about protecting her younger brothers and sisters. But she is only seven years old." "I stopped giving you the ointment before. From now on, apply it every night after you take a bath, then wrap it with gauze and unwrap it the next morning."

"Okay." Er Ya nodded and took the bottle. "Wu Ya, wait until it works before applying it to your face."

Wu Ya nodded; she listened to her second sister very well.

"Stepmother, is this the only bottle? What if I finish it all..."

"besides."

Er Ya laughed: "Does Wu Ya want to continue applying the ointment from before?"

"You can continue using it, but the effect is so-so, though it can protect your skin."

"Yes, I will keep an eye on it."

"I'm at ease leaving it in your care." Yunyi patted her head.

"Don't touch my head! This is the hairstyle Aunt Cuiqin did for me. Didn't you see it has a hair flower? Don't mess it up!" Er Ya hurriedly jumped far away.

Yunyi's hand froze awkwardly in mid-air, then she couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay, it's my fault, I won't touch your hairstyle anymore."

"Then you can pinch my cheeks." Er Ya probably felt that her behavior had embarrassed Yun Yi, so she leaned closer and tilted her little face up.

Yunyi pinched her cheek and said, "Alright, you can take a nap now. I'll give you a lesson this afternoon and teach you how to play chess."

The chess set was made by the carpenter brothers, Huang, beforehand, originally intended for her to play with in her spare time. Now, however, she can use it to teach the children. As for the Go set of this era, she'll deal with that once He Wei buys it and sends it back.

"What is chess?" Sanya, who had been lying on the bed, asked curiously as she got up.

"I'll find out this afternoon." Yunyi sat down on the edge of the bed. "Sanya, let me see your leg."

Sanya hurriedly pulled back the blanket.

Yunyi rolled up her trouser leg and then slowly probed, asking Sanya if she could feel anything. After she finished, she pulled the trouser leg down for her: "Sanya, your body has recovered quite a bit now, and your leg can also be healed. However, because it wasn't done properly before, if you want to heal it, we'll have to break it and set the bone again."

"After the bone is set, will I no longer be lame?"

"It should be possible."

“Then knock it.” Sanya’s eyes lit up immediately. “Stepmother, I’m not afraid of pain.”

"Okay." Yunyi nodded. "I'll prepare the medicinal herbs these days, and we'll start treatment at the end of the month, okay?"

Sanya nodded.

After Yunyi left the room, the room was filled with the sound of a girl's happy laughter.

"Boss, you're not earning points for anything you do now." Sixteen's voice rang out.

【I know. 】

You don't have to care about them, but you...

I know, but you brought me here, are you expecting me to retire alone in the deep mountains?

Sixteen fell silent.

Humans are social animals. Since we've come here and taken over someone else's body, we've become entangled in karma, and we should at least help them resolve their problems.

Boss, I knew you were a good person.

"Alright, this has nothing to do with whether someone is a good person or not." Yunyi returned to her room. She had finished the chess set, but hadn't drawn the board yet. However, drawing a chessboard was simple—just ten horizontal and nine vertical lines, marked out. "By the way, what are you going to do with that monkey?"

"You're right, taking over someone else's body will incur karma. Although that monkey should have died long ago, I still sent it a little signal, at least to let it live a few more years."

"You're not going to be a monkey anymore?"

I've thought it over. I don't want to be a monkey anymore; I want to be a human.

【what? 】

"Since I can possess a monkey's body, I think I can also be a human, boss. That's where I need your help."

How can I help? Do you want to become my servant?

【I can't be you, but if there's a suitable candidate, you can transfer me into their body. I have human thoughts; it's essentially giving them a second life. Think about it, you'll be returning to the capital in the future. If I become human, and if my status is even higher, I can become your right-hand man.】

That's a good suggestion. I'll think about it carefully.
