“About that, dad, wait until Grandpa Liu brings the money over. You can count it properly,” Chen Meng’er teased with a smile. 

“You little girl, you’re really mischievous.” Chen Ping understood his daughter’s teasing and said with a smile. 

500,000 in this era was not a small amount. It was equivalent to tens of millions in ten to twenty years. Therefore, going to the bank to withdraw money was not something that could be done in a short period of time. Chen Meng’er and the others waited for two hours, but the person who withdrew the money did not come back. 

Elder Liu took the opportunity to talk to Chen Ping while Chen Meng’er and her father came down for lunch. As soon as Elder Liu opened his mouth, Chen Ping subconsciously wanted to refuse. Chen Meng’er, on the other hand, graciously agreed. In her opinion, it was just a meal. It was no big deal. 

And there was a reason why Elder Liu was so happy. Just now, when he went out to get someone to go to the bank to withdraw money, Old Lu called. On the phone, he thanked him profusely. He said that the boy was okay, and it was all thanks to him, otherwise, his little grandson would have been gone. 

And as for the specific situation, Old Lu did not tell him in detail on the phone. He said that he would slowly talk about it later. Although Old Liu did not know the details, he knew from Old Lu’s phone call that the acupuncture points that Chen Meng’er pointed out were correct. They were very useful in stopping internal bleeding. 

As long as Old Liu knew this, he was extremely excited. This made him even more certain that Chen Meng’er had a master with superb medical skills behind her. This made Elder Liu, who couldn’t be said to be a doctor, feel like his life depended on it. But it wasn’t too far from the truth. He had the intention of befriending Chen Meng’er’s master. 

The lunch was very sumptuous. It could be said to be the most sumptuous meal that Chen Meng’er had ever eaten outside the space since she was reborn. There was fish and meat. Moreover, the taste wasn’t bad. 

After Chen Meng’er sat on the table, she didn’t hold back at all. Whenever she saw something she wanted to eat, she would stretch out her chopsticks to pick it up. If she couldn’t pick it up herself, she would even ask Elder Liu for help. But that was it. Chen Meng’er’s table manners still surprised Elder Liu and Xiao Liu. This wasn’t something that a three-year-old child from the countryside should have. 

Chen Ping, on the other hand, had the same thoughts as Chen Meng’er. He appeared very reserved and only ate the dishes in front of him. Most of the time, he would just dig into the rice in his bowl. That was because, in his eyes, the rice was already a delicacy. 

Chen Meng’er, on the other hand, did not forget her father when she buried her head in her food. She would occasionally pick food for her father. Elder Liu did not know whether to laugh or cry. This relationship seemed to have been reversed. 

When Elder Liu saw that Chen Meng’er had almost finished eating, he asked, “Meng’er, who taught you acupuncture in the morning?” 

“No one taught me, and I don’t know acupuncture.” Chen Meng’er put down her bowl and chopsticks and said. 

“You don’t know acupuncture? How is that possible?” Elder Liu obviously didn’t believe what Chen Meng’er said. 

“What I said is true. I don’t know acupuncture. I just know acupoints. And I really don’t have a master.” Chen Meng’er said seriously. She wanted to say something about a master. It would be easier for her to do things this way. 

However, at her age, she usually had people around her. Even if she made up a master, no one would believe her. 

“It’s true, Elder Liu. I can testify that my daughter doesn’t have a master,” Chen Ping put down the bowl and said seriously. 

“Then who taught you those acupuncture points?” Elder Liu asked in surprise. 

“I learned them by reading books,” Chen Meng’er said with her head tilted. Before she said that, she had already thought about it. She would take out the medical skill book from her space when she went back. Moreover, when she answered Elder Liu’s question, she was shocked to realize that it was in the morning. She had neglected a very important thing. 

However, this was not the time for her to think about this matter in detail. Chen Meng’er decided that when she went back, she would carefully study what exactly was going on. 

“A book? Where did you get such a book?” Elder Liu and Chen Ping asked in unison. Although the meaning of their question was completely different. 

Chen Ping was surprised. He seemed to remember that their family did not have any books on medicine. Elder Liu was pleasantly surprised. He was guessing. Was the book that Chen Meng’er was talking about the same as the book that was destroyed in their family? It was an ancient book. 

“I found it at the garbage dump in the village. It’s at home now. I’m hiding it,” Chen Meng’er replied. 

“Is that so?” Chen Ping heard his daughter’s reply and said, “No wonder I didn’t know. You hid it deep enough.” As he said that, Chen Ping stretched out his hand and nodded at Chen Meng’er’s little head. 

Chen Meng’er smiled and stuck out her tongue at her father, Chen Ping. 

Elder Liu looked at Chen Meng’er with a face full of anticipation. Then, he carefully asked, “Can I take a look at that book?” 

“Yes, of course, no problem.” Chen Meng’er said generously. Although Elder Liu appeared to be only a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who had opened a century-old shop, Chen Meng’er had long seen that Elder Liu’s identity was not simple, or that the figure behind him was not simple. 

And now, without any background, it could be said that Chen Meng’er, whose family was penniless, thought that Elder Liu was someone she could befriend. It was not that Chen Meng’er wanted to rely on Elder Liu to achieve any goals. She just knew very clearly that in the future, without connections, without money, it would be difficult for one to move an inch. She just wanted to find connections when something happened to their family. She made some arrangements. “But, Grandpa Liu, I left the book at home.” 

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’ll go back with you later.” With that, Elder Liu, who was unusually emotional, put down the bowl and chopsticks and walked to the living room. He called the bank and urged them to hurry up. He asked them to hurry up..
