Chapter 197: Clear rewards and punishments

At this time, Xiao Churan, Ye Chen, and her father Xiao Changkun had just finished lunch at home.

As Ye Chen was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen as usual, he suddenly received a call from Chen Xiaozhao.

As soon as the call was connected, Chen Xiaozhao asked shyly, "Master Ye, what are you doing?"

"At home," Ye Chen said indifferently, and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have something to find me for?"

Chen Xiaozhao said, "I wanted to call to report something to you."

"Go ahead."

Chen Xiaozhao hurriedly said, "It's like this, yesterday Gao Junwei and Xiao Yiqian both ran to my grandfather's pharmacy, begging him for treatment. My grandfather didn't know that Xiao Yiqian had offended you, and almost gave Xiao Yiqian the half pill you rewarded him with last time!"

Ye Chen asked curiously, "What? Is your family on good terms with Xiao Yiqian? Your grandfather is actually willing to give him such a precious medicine?"

Ye Chen knew very well that in Shi Tianqi's mind, the divine medicine he gave was regarded as a treasure, almost as important as his life.

For such an important thing, no one would rashly give it to someone they didn't know, or someone with an ordinary relationship.

Chen Xiaozhao hurriedly said, "My grandfather and Xiao Yiqian's father were sworn brothers. The two had many years of history, so our two families also have many years of history."

As she spoke, Chen Xiaozhao told Ye Chen in detail about the history between her grandfather and the Xiao family.

After listening, Ye Chen finally understood that the Xiao family was actually a benefactor who had helped Shi Tianqi back then.

And the fact that Shi Tianqi could repay the Xiao family's kindness for so many years because of a little favor back then also made him look at him with admiration.

What made him even more satisfied was that Shi Tianqi could distinguish right from wrong and would not hesitate to break with the Xiao family for his sake.

Although Ye Chen was the young master of a top family in Yan Jing, he left the family with his father when he was very young and traveled around to survive. After his father died unexpectedly, he could only survive in an orphanage, tasting the warmth and coldness of the world.

It was also in the orphanage that Ye Chen developed a character of knowing how to repay kindness and repaying every favor.

Auntie Li from the welfare home helped him, so even if he suffered all the insults, sarcasm, and personal attacks from the Xiao family in front of them, he still asked Old Mrs. Xiao for help to borrow money to treat Auntie Li's illness;

Xiao Churan helped him, so even if he looked down on the low-class Xiao family and his own weird father-in-law and mother-in-law, he was unwilling to leave Xiao Churan.

Precisely because he was a person who knew how to repay kindness, he had more affection for Shi Tianqi.

It seems that Shi Tianqi will surely become his loyal follower in the future.

Since Shi Tianqi is so loyal, he should give him some benefits.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen decided to go to Shi Tianqi's Jishitang in the afternoon and give him another pill he had refined last time.

That time, Ye Chen refined thirty pills in one go, gave away a few, and still had more than twenty left.

This medicine was almost within reach for him, and for someone like him who practiced the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra" and had spiritual energy in his body, it had no practical effect, so giving him one was almost zero cost.

Moreover, Ye Chen also hoped to let these people in Jin Ling know that he was a person with clear rewards and punishments.

If you don't do things well, you must be punished!

However, if you do well, you must be rewarded even more!

Shi Tianqi did a good job this time, so he would go to reward him with a divine medicine he dreamed of in the afternoon.

So, Ye Chen asked Chen Xiaozhao, "Is your grandfather in Jishitang this afternoon?"

"Yes," Chen Xiaozhao asked excitedly, "Are you coming, Master Ye?"

Ye Chen grunted and said, "I'll go over in the afternoon to take a look."

"Great, Master Ye!" Chen Xiaozhao cheered and said, "Then I'll go tell grandfather now, he will be very excited!"

After cleaning up the kitchen, Ye Chen just came out and saw Xiao Churan ready to go out, so he asked, "Wife, are you going to the studio?"

Xiao Churan shook her head and said, "Mom called me and said she has a friend who wants to decorate a villa and wants me to take this order. I'm going to take a look."

Ye Chen hurriedly asked, "Which villa area?"

Xiao Churan said, "Jiangpan Villa, right by the river."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "That's perfect, you can drop me off at Jishitang on the way, I'm going to see Divine Doctor Shi."

Xiao Churan asked in surprise, "You are going to see Divine Doctor Shi? Why don't I go with you, and we can buy something to see the old man by the way!"

Xiao Churan was very grateful to Shi Tianqi because she had always felt that it was Shi Tianqi who had miraculously cured her father's high paraplegia.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about it. You just drop me off and go do your business. I can go see Divine Doctor Shi."

Xiao Churan said, "That's not very appropriate..."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "There is nothing inappropriate about it. Besides, Divine Doctor Shi has a strange personality. If we go together, he might not be happy."

When Xiao Churan heard this, she nodded and said, "Okay, then you go first. If possible, make an appointment with Divine Doctor Shi, and we will invite him to dinner."

"Good!"

The couple went out together. Xiao Churan drove the car and carried Ye Chen toward the outskirts of the city.

Passing by Jishitang, Ye Chen got out of the car, told Xiao Churan to drive carefully, and walked into the gate of Jishitang.

Shi Tianqi was seeing a patient at the pharmacy. Suddenly seeing Ye Chen come in, he was very excited and hurriedly stood up to greet him, saying, "Master Ye, you are here!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "You go ahead, don't worry about me."

Shi Tianqi nodded and hurriedly greeted Chen Xiaozhao, who was preparing medicine in the back, "Xiaozhao, Master Ye is here! Come out and entertain him!"

Chen Xiaozhao immediately dropped the work in her hands, her cheeks flushed with two red clouds, and she walked over.

"Master Ye, you are here!"

Chen Xiaozhao's voice was crisp and sweet, and there was a naive and innocent smile on her face, especially the two shallow dimples, which looked extra lovable.

What surprised Ye Chen even more was that Chen Xiaozhao didn't have the faint scent of perfume like other women; she had a faint fragrance of medicinal herbs.

Most pharmacies had a very heavy medicinal smell, which couldn't be called fragrant at all, but the scent on Chen Xiaozhao was refreshing, and even had a calming effect.

Ye Chen looked at her and smiled, "Now that your grandfather's health has recovered, you have retreated to the background and started helping out?"

"Yes," Chen Xiaozhao smiled sweetly, "But I don't just help out all the time. Grandfather sees five patients in person every day, and I see the rest."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Your medical skills are already very superb. I believe it won't be long before you become a little divine doctor famous in Jin Ling."

"How could that be," Chen Xiaozhao couldn't help but feel shy, "My medical skills are far worse than grandfather's, and even further away from you, Master Ye..."

At this time, Shi Tianqi sent away the patient and said to the clerk in the pharmacy, "Tell the patients waiting for consultation that I have a distinguished guest here, so I will suspend the consultation and entertain him first. Please forgive me."

After saying this, he immediately walked to Ye Chen, bowed respectfully with his hands cupped, and said, "Hello, Master Ye!" ===== CHAPTER 198 =====
