Chapter 12
Zhao Jin'er's heart skipped a beat, how could the sheep that had just been pulled back bleed?
Could it be that he was deceived by that old man?
Wang Fengying felt that the chance to turn over had come, and she immediately stopped crying and said, "Look, I just said that sheep is a loser, right? Wouldn't it be nice to buy a big, lively fat pig for one tael of silver and slaughter it for the New Year?"
Mrs. Qin's head hurt from the noise, and she shouted in court, "Okay, okay, just go and see. If this sheep is really dead, why don't I give you a tael of silver to buy you a pig?"
Wang Fengying stopped talking.
Zhao Jin'er was very distressed. It was because of her peace of mind that he felt so aggrieved.
I can't help but regret in my heart. If I had known it, I would have decided not to buy that sheep. It's all her fault for being so meddlesome...
The family moved to the livestock pen, and saw the sheep leaning on the haystack, convulsing all over, and screaming in pain. Wasn't it covered in blood? Even the body and the haystack below were dyed red.
Got a piece.
"Oh my god, what kind of plague is this? Don't spread it to the chickens in the pen!" Wang Fengying was so anxious that she went in to drag the sheep out.
Zhao Jin'er's sharp eyes saw a bloody mass under the sheep's belly, "Why does this sheep look like it's giving birth?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at the sheep's half-dead and hard-working attitude, and they seemed to have some resemblance to it.
Wang Fengying didn't quite believe it, so she stepped in and dug at the haystack. Unexpectedly, there were actually two lambs that had just come down!
No one expected that the unpopular old sheep that Zhao Jiner brought home for a tael of silver would give birth to four lambs in one breath.
The whole family was busy taking care of each other, so there was no time to quarrel.
The whole family was overjoyed, and Wang Fengying was also secretly happy. When she looked at Zhao Jiner again, her eyes changed:
This girl is very lucky, right?
Geese and foxes are all picked up for free, but buying a sheep actually comes with four lambs!
Sheep cubs are also a valuable and in-demand commodity, and one head can be sold for three or four taels of silver.
If they are fattened, slaughtered and then sold, it is not a problem to sell them for one tael per head!
Get rich, get rich!
Wang Fengying's mouth couldn't be closed, but her mouth was not forgiving at all, "This sheep is too old, I'm afraid it won't be able to feed four lambs!"
The old sheep didn't know if he understood what she said, but he began to milk like crazy, and the four lambs lay on him and drank until they still had some milk left in their bellies.
Mrs. Qin was too lazy to pay attention to her. In line with the principle of no waste, she asked Zhao Jin'er to squeeze out two bowls, one for Miaomiao and one for Qin Muxiu.
Zhao Jin'er did not bring it back to the house immediately, but boiled the medicine in the kitchen first, and then asked Mrs. Qin, "Mom, can I bring a small charcoal stove back to the house?"
Old Mrs. Qin asked, "Isn't there a kang burning in your room? Why does Ah Xiu still feel cold?"
Zhao Jin'er quickly shook her head, twirled her fingers and whispered, "I want to take it back to stew the bird's nest. If I stew it in the kitchen, my aunt will have something to say if she sees it."
Old Mrs. Qin was angry and funny, "Let's see if she dares to nag again! But that's what you're thinking too. One more thing is worse than one less thing, so just take it back to the house and do it."
Zhao Jin'er moved the medicine bowl, goat's milk and stove back to their hut.
Wang Fengying caught a glimpse of it, and as expected, she pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, saying, "Hey, the third daughter-in-law is serious about breaking up with us!"
Mrs. Qin immediately pinched her waist and stood at the door and cursed, "Can you die if you don't say a few words? They are afraid that the medicine stewed in the kitchen will smoke you. If you are not afraid of the strong smell, ask Jinya to stay in the kitchen from now on."
Make some medicine!"
Who likes the smell of Chinese medicine? Wang Fengying had been cursing just now because she found it unpleasant. When Mrs. Qin said this, she immediately shut up.
Qin Muxiu had long heard the noise outside and knew that Zhao Jin'er had suffered a lot of grievances from his aunt and Pearl, so he thought she would complain to him. Unexpectedly, she brought a stove in and started messing around as soon as she entered, without mentioning what happened just now.
meaning of something.
After thinking about it, he didn't say anything.
He can't protect himself now and can't be anyone's backer. He can only wait until the future... to make up for her.
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Jin'er was blowing fire with her cheeks puffed up. When Qin Muxiu asked herself, she raised her head and squinted her eyes with a smile, her eyes bent into two small crescents, and her index finger pointed to her lips, "Shh, we'll find out later!"
The red firelight reflected on her snow-white face was really beautiful.
Qin Muxiu's Adam's apple rolled twice and he smiled and said, "Sneaky."
The shopkeeper said that the bird's nest did not need to be simmered for too long, about two sticks of incense would be enough. Zhao Jin'er poured the goat's milk into it, warmed it along with the bird's nest, and brought it out to Qin Muxiu, "Try it!"
Qin Muxiu dusted his eyes and asked, "Where did the bird's nest come from?"
Zhao Jin'er also wondered, "How do you know Bird's Nest?"
Qin Muxiu paused and said unnaturally, "Well, I saw it in a book."
Zhao Jin'er then thought to herself, my husband has read many books and even recognizes bird's nests.
"Bought."
"This thing is very expensive. Where did you get the money to buy it?" Qin Muxiu asked to get to the bottom of it.
Zhao Jin'er quickly put her little finger on his lips, like a thief.
"Shhhhhhh, keep your voice down! It's like this. That fox was sold for a total of twenty taels of silver. In addition to buying some things, grandma and I used it to get you some medicine and buy bird's nests. There are still two taels left.
I also gave you eight taels of silver and the milk, and said I would give you some medicine next time. I thought I only sold it for five taels of silver, so don’t let them hear it!"
Qin Muxiu was speechless for a moment, "How much did the medicine and bird's nest cost?"
"Sixteen ounces of everything."
Qin Muxiu was stunned for a long time without saying anything.
Zhao Jin'er saw him like this and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Qin Muxiu sighed, "This is the end of my disease. Why waste so much money?"
Zhao Jin'er said seriously, "Why am I wasting my money on treating you? I've been listening to your coughing for the past two days. It's not tuberculosis as others say, but it's just asthma that has been lingering for a long time. You can recover by taking good medicine and resting. You
Don’t give up on yourself.”
Qin Muxiu's eyes flashed, "You know I have asthma?"
Zhao Jin'er only thought that Ah Xiu looked a little weird.
He said this as if he himself knew it was asthma.
Seeing her confused look, Qin Muxiu curled his lips and smiled, "I mean, how do you know that I have asthma and not tuberculosis? All the doctors I've seen over the years have said it's tuberculosis."
Zhao Jin'er didn't think much when he heard what he said, "My father is a barefoot doctor, and I know a little bit about other diseases. I may not be able to treat other diseases. I dare to vouch for your disease."
The cheap little daughter-in-law actually saw a doctor... Qin Muxiu was quite surprised.
"I prescribed the medicine, and the bird's nest was recommended by the drugstore shopkeeper. Take a two-pronged approach, and you will definitely get better! Come on, take the medicine first, and then drink the bird's nest sweetmeat. The milk gave me a little sugar, and I put in a small
Rub it, it will be sweet."
Seeing Zhao Jin'er coaxing him like a child, Qin Muxiu felt strange.
Before I had time to resist, the medicine had already entered my stomach.
