After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 35 The Quietly Appearing Reader

After hearing what Long Mingyue said, everyone cherished the pills in their hands even more.

Old Lady Liu immediately decided that she must pass down this elixir as a family heirloom. It was a elixir given by an immortal, and she even felt that the bottle of the elixir was faintly emitting an immortal aura.

Liu Mingyue was also happy. She thought she could share it with her father and her two older brothers so they could use it to save their lives.

However, there are ten pills. According to Mingyue Zhenren, this pill can cure any illness and even bring the dead back to life. She hesitated whether to give it to the princess, whose health has always been poor.

However, if it were given to the princess, the elixir would be impossible to keep hidden.

After much deliberation, Liu Mingyue decided to give one to the princess and another to her uncle, the emperor. This would give away half of the pills, and she would then tell everyone that she had none left.

Yang Mingyue cherished these pills even more. They lacked not only food and clothing but also medicine. With these pills, she felt safer. She planned not to use them unless it was a critical life-or-death situation.

Wu Mingyue did the same; the moment she received the pill, she stored it in her spatial storage.

This is a life-saving medicine from the cultivation world; sharing it is out of the question. She has to be selfish just this once.

Princess Mingyue is different. Their medical ward can restore seriously injured patients to their original state. How can a small pill have such an effect?

Therefore, after receiving the elixir, she immediately took one to the Royal Medical Research Institute for research.

"The pills sent by Princess Mingyue?"

"Yes, it is said that one pill can bring a seriously injured patient back to life."

"How could that be?" Some researchers simply didn't believe it, thinking that Princess Mingyue was exaggerating.

"That's right, how could that be? I wonder who's trying to fool the princess with some nonsense again."

"Forget it, just do the test for the princess and let her give up." The researcher shook his head, indicating that the princess was too kind to believe in such a thing.

Lin Liuyi was currently negotiating with the system, saying, "Fa Cai, Master Mingyue gave me ten pills, you took half, and there are still five left. I promised to give you the other half as postage, so shouldn't I have two and a half? How come I only have two now? Where is my half-full pill?"

"Host, you know that the effect of pills is not as good if they are separated."

"So, is this your reason for taking half of my pill?"

"Oh dear, host. I really expended a lot of energy this time. You know that Long Mingyue's world has a Heavenly Dao, so I was extremely careful." The system started to play the victim for the sake of half a pill.

What could Lin Liuyi say? In the end, he could only take his last two pills and study them.

Well, at least I left her two pills. I wonder if they'll help with her heart condition.

Thinking of this, she swallowed one directly, and whether it was a placebo effect or not, she really felt much better.

She'll have to go to the hospital for another check-up when she has the chance; she thinks it should be helpful.

At this moment, another person also received Long Mingyue's pills; this person was Li Mingyue from Li Family Village.

Her condition was really not good. When she received the medicine, she had a fever. She even heard her grandmother, He Juhua, say that she wanted to throw her away at night. Her father remained silent, and only her mother and two younger sisters held her and cried silently.

Hearing the woman in the group say that this could also cure typhoid fever, Li Mingyue endured the discomfort and swallowed a pill under the cover of night.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but the moment she ate it, she felt less hot and then fell asleep.

When she woke up, she was completely recovered. She clenched her fist and tried it, and even felt stronger than before.

You know, the girls in her family were never full, and she had always been weak. She never expected that just by taking one pill, she would actually become strong. It really is a divine medicine.

When Li Mingyue had a fever, she vaguely entered the group chat and heard a bunch of people discussing exchanging gifts and saying that the other person was a celestial being.

She thought she was delirious from the fever and hallucinating. Since she didn't have any gifts to give, she didn't think too much about it. Who knew that the immortal would actually give her a gift.

"Big sister, you're awake?"

"Chunya, Caoya, why are there only two of you? Where are our parents? Where is the rest of the family?" Li Mingyue only realized after she recovered that there were only her two younger sisters around the woods.

"Mother, Mother went to find food. Father, Father doesn't want us anymore!" Chun Ya cried as she spoke.

"What happened? Chunya, don't cry. Why doesn't Dad want us anymore?" Li Mingyue didn't understand what was going on yet, so she could only try to comfort her two younger sisters.

Thankfully, her mother returned at that moment. "Mingyue, you're finally awake! You scared your mother to death!"

But then her mother started crying while holding her. Helpless, she could only comfort her mother and two younger sisters first, and then ask them what had happened once they calmed down.

As expected, her grandmother abandoned her. She never imagined that her father would be so heartless as to abandon his wife and daughter.

"Father?"

"Don't blame your father, it's all your mother's fault for not being able to give him a son," Mingyue's mother said, suppressing her sadness.

“Even if we’re not sons, aren’t we still Dad’s daughters? How could he do this?” How could Li Mingyue not feel resentful? Back in the village, her family did the most work because they didn’t have any sons.

Unexpectedly, when the famine began, they were the first family to be abandoned.

"Your grandma said she'll find your father another wife who can give birth to a son." Mingyue's mother became more and more heartbroken as she spoke. It was all her fault for being incompetent and unable to give her husband a son, which led to the abandonment of her and her two children.

Li Mingyue didn't know what to say, so she could only hug her mother and say, "Mom, you still have me!"

"Yes, yes, it's good that you're alright, Mingyue. Let's keep going, maybe we can catch up with your father and the others!"

Li Mingyue couldn't bear to shatter her mother's dream. Even if she caught up with her, what difference would it make? She had already been abandoned once. Next time something happened, they would be the first to be abandoned.

At this moment, Li Mingyue originally wanted to tell her mother that she had obtained the immortal's medicine, but suddenly she didn't want to say it anymore.

If she told her, her mother would probably make her give it to her grandparents, and might even make her ask a sage for medicine to help her have a son. She knew her mother was capable of such things.

She suppressed her urge to share and followed her mother and two younger sisters in the direction everyone else had gone.

The grandparents didn't give them any food. I heard that it was only because her father couldn't bear it that he gave them a little. Food was hard to find on the road, and they were women with children, so they were easily bullied.

At that moment, Li Mingyue secretly resolved that they must strive to live on and live better than her father.

She secretly took out two pills and fed them to her two younger sisters. Her two sisters were also in poor health, and the journey of fleeing famine was already difficult. She hoped that these pills could strengthen her sisters' bodies.

But what reason could her mother possibly give to get her to eat it?

Her mother had given birth to three children over the years and worked hard every day. Looking at her sunken face, you could tell that she must not have been living a good life, so the elixir must also be useful to her mother.

She hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to give it to her mother. "Mother, this is a remedy for rejuvenation, no, this is a pill for conceiving a child. It was given to me by an old woman before we left. You should take it."

"A fertility pill? Mingyue, you haven't been scammed, have you?" Mingyue's mother wondered, how could her daughter possibly have such a thing?

"Mom, that day I heard Grandma scolding you again, and then I cried behind the house. An old woman passed by and asked me about it, and then she gave it to me. She said it would definitely give me a son. Mom, would I lie to you? I still want us to catch up with Dad and the others, and for you to give us a little brother." In order to get her mother to take the pill, Li Mingyue could only bite the bullet and make up a lie.

Mingyue Niang was deeply moved at this moment, never expecting that her daughter would care about her so much.

"Okay, Mingyue, let Mom eat. Mom will definitely give you a little brother, then no one will bully us anymore!"

Seeing that her mother had finally taken the medicine, Li Mingyue felt relieved. At least they could hold on for a while longer on their journey to escape the famine.

However, the most important task now is to find the main group; it's too dangerous for them to be alone.

Soon, she saw a group of people and quietly followed behind them with her mother and younger sister.
