Chapter 256: Chapter 256: The Girl is a Little Lucky Star

"Yicheng, I’m telling you, the girl is lucky, she’s a little fortune star, she’s our benefactor!"

Excitement shone on Du Chang’s face. After a bumpy journey to Xi Province, the worries that had burdened his heart were finally set to rest.

Pei Yicheng looked at Du Chang with a baffled expression, not understanding what Du Chang was talking about.

"Let me tell you."

Du Chang happily recounted his conversation with the traditional doctor today. In short, Pei Yicheng’s recovery was promising, and the massage methods from the books Xu Nianhua had referenced were also very crucial.

"Brother Cheng, it looks like we really need to thank little sister Xu," Ling Dong said. Initially, he thought that Du Chang was making wild guesses, but now he felt that Du Chang might not have been so off the mark.

In terms of appearance, Xu Nianhua might not dress like the wealthy ladies in Ningbei, but her face was truly beautiful. She also carried a tranquil quality that made her appear even more like a lady than those wealthy ladies themselves.

When it came to academic prowess, she was not lacking either. She not only scored top marks in her school but also used her knowledge to teach her classmates. It was said that many of her classmates had improved greatly thanks to Xu Nianhua.

In terms of character, she was grateful and mindful. Her interactions with the Du Family and Brother Cheng were always proper and measured. Even though she knew the two families were worlds apart in status, she was never sycophantic or obsequious, instead practicing courtesy and reciprocity.

The gifts Xu Nianhua brought every time were homemade yet exquisite items.

"Brother Cheng, our future sister-in-law is impressive!" Cheng Hao said, thumbs up in praise, for his leg now had hope of healing. Everyone was in high spirits, and at dinner in the hotel restaurant that night, they ordered a table filled with dishes.

Gaoliang County.

Xu Nianhua, whom they called a fortune star, was still buried in her papers.

Although her grades were the best at County No. 1 High, Xu Nianhua felt she could still go further, as there were questions she could have scored even higher points on.

"Second brother, why can’t I solve this problem?"

After battling with the problem for half an hour, Xu Nianhua felt that her approach was wrong, but like a headless fly, she couldn’t find a way out.

Xu Nian’an glanced at the problem. After a long moment, staring at Xu Nianhua’s nearly furrowed face, he said, "Little sister, if you applied your smartness in foreign languages to other subjects, that would be even better."

"..."

Xu Nianhua pursed her lips in displeasure. Was her second brother implying that she was dumb?

"Second brother, then let’s compete and see who scores higher in this month’s exam," Xu Nianhua challenged, refusing to be outdone. She might be slightly weaker in mathematics, but she was stronger in other subjects than her brother!

Xu Nian’an: "..."

The little sister couldn’t be provoked.

"You’re overthinking this problem," Xu Nian’an resignedly explained, and sure enough, as soon as he started speaking, Xu Nianhua figured out how to solve it.

Under the light, Xu Nian’an and Xu Nianhua maintained the same posture, heads down working on papers, occasionally coming together to discuss a question.

For half a month, Pei Yicheng applied a thick, mud-like black poultice to his leg every day, which emitted a pungent odor. Each time the medicine was changed, the smell lingered in the room.

"Grandpa."

Pei Yicheng stared intently at his leg.

"What’s wrong, does it hurt somewhere?" Du Chang stopped unwrapping the medicine and looked at Pei Yicheng’s face, asking with concern.
