Chapter 25: Black Market

“This time, it’s thanks to Lingling. I think in the future, if anyone in our village falls ill, instead of going to the clinic or the town hospital, they can directly seek medical help from Lingling,” Sun Li exclaimed.
Hearing this, Min Nan shook his head and said, “That won’t do. Ye Ling is not yet a doctor. If everyone starts relying on her for treatment, it might cause her trouble. Besides, she already has a lot on her plate, and if everyone seeks her help, she might become overwhelmed.”
Sun Li teased with a smile, “Oh, you haven’t even married her yet, and you’re already feeling heartache? Are you worried that she’ll be tired?”
Min Nan responded helplessly, “Godmother, you’re not understanding it correctly. It’s not like that.”
“Okay, I’ll follow your suggestion. For now, we won’t publicize Lingling’s medical skills. If there’s an emergency, I’ll ask her for help.” Sun Li agreed, thinking that Min Nan’s point made sense.
After all, in their village, the common ailments were mostly fevers and colds. There was no need for Ye Ling to intervene in minor issues.
Sun Li then remembered something and mentioned, “By the way, I heard that Lingling is running for the position of pharmacy administrator in the village. She will be going to town for training in the next few days. She also mentioned her plan to obtain a medical license. It seems like she’s preparing to become a doctor.”
Min Nan was taken aback by this information. If it weren’t for Sun Li’s update, he wouldn’t have known.
“That’s good. In the city, doctors have good prospects. After completing her rural support mission, it would be great for her to become a doctor,” Min Nan expressed, thinking it was a positive thing for Ye Ling to have aspirations. He believed she was stronger than women who solely focused on marrying well without knowing the true purpose of their lives.
Sun Li responded discontentedly, “Look at what you’re saying. Shouldn’t you try to find a way to make Lingling stay? What will you do if she leaves?”
Min Nan was unsure how to reply. He and Ye Ling were merely acquaintances at this point. Why did his godmother make such ambiguous remarks?
What Ye Ling chose to do was beyond his control. As a friend, his role was to support and encourage her pursuit of the life she desired.
Realizing it would be difficult to explain to his godmother, Min Nan decided not to say more.
After the stormy weather subsided, Ye Ling continued to attend the training at the town’s pharmacy.
Over the past few days, Ye Ling had been drinking water from the small world. She discovered that the water was very magical. After drinking it, not only did she feel refreshed, but her body also became healthier and stronger day by day.
Previously, the two-hour walk to town would leave her breathless, but now she found it effortless. She sensed her body growing stronger, and her vision and hearing seemed to have improved.
Indeed, small worlds were remarkable!
Additionally, there was another matter that caught Ye Ling’s attention.
One day, she suddenly noticed that the thick white fog at the edge seemed to have faded slightly. Although she still couldn’t enter the fog, there was a subtle change happening.
Why?
Ye Ling made a mental note of this and planned to continue observing it in the future.
During her lunch break at the pharmacy, Ye Ling informed the training coordinator and left to buy things in town.
She purchased a clay stove, which would be practical for cooking meals and brewing medicine.
After buying the stove, Ye Ling looked towards a secluded entrance nearby.
That should be the black market.
In her previous life, Ye Ling had never been to the black market, but she had heard about it from Wu De. Due to certain political reasons, the market economy of this era was mostly controlled by the state. The purchase and exchange of goods were not free, and most daily necessities had to be obtained through exchange tickets. In less developed areas, the trading system became even more restricted.
In such circumstances, the black market emerged as a place for private transactions and illegal activities. Wu De had once shared stories about the black market, including his own experiences seeking prostitutes.
All of this information came from Wu De’s drunken ramblings. Otherwise, Ye Ling would not have known about the existence of the black market.
Ye Ling wondered if there might be someone selling medicinal herbs on the black market. She felt a slight temptation to go and take a look.
Perhaps due to her rebirth, Ye Ling now possessed more courage than before. Even though she was aware that the black market was illegal, she still felt the urge to take risks.
However, she realized that she didn’t have much money with her at the moment. Even if she found the herbs she desired inside, she wouldn’t be able to afford them.
Ye Ling hesitated for a moment and decided to come back and explore the black market another time.
