The clinic didn't have many patients.
Li Xu could handle things on his own.
So, Song Sisi decided to set up a stall on the sidewalk in front of the clinic to sell mugwort.
She had just set up the stall when a passing Aunt Zhang came over. "Oh, Xiao Song, you're selling mugwort too?"
"Aunt Zhang! We grew this ourselves—it's completely natural and pesticide-free!" Song Sisi greeted her enthusiastically. "Want a bundle? You can hang it by your door to repel mosquitoes and ward off evil spirits!"
Aunt Zhang leaned in and sniffed. "This smells authentic! Much stronger than the stuff at the market."
She took out five yuan. "I'll take a bundle."
Soon, neighbors who had heard the news swarmed the small stall.
Wang Ruiying was also squeezed into the crowd, a grocery basket in her hand.
"Sisi, save three bundles for me!" she shouted. "My coworkers at the office all asked me to buy some for them!"
