Chapter 98 Insinuations

Author: Lian Xiaoai

Li Hui washed himself, changed his clothes, got into bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

The children in the family all knew that their father was working hard, so they were in their own rooms, and no one came to the east room to disturb him.

Cheng Xue washed the clothes he had changed and hung them to dry in the yard. The hostess of the Zhang family next door probably kept yelling loudly in the yard on purpose.

It's a pity that her calculations were completely wrong. She specially fed Li Hui a bowl of soothing soup before going to bed. Whenever he fell asleep and dragged him to the ground, he would think that he was sleepwalking.

Cheng Xue hummed a little tune and went to the west room to see her daughter.

Li Tian is taking a nap, and Li Yue is embroidering a handkerchief.

In the county, as long as you work hard, you can find ways to make money in minutes.

Hemming the handkerchief costs five cents each. If you add an embroidered flower, you will need to add another five cents. If the pattern is complicated, it will be even higher.

The embroidery thread and fabric are all purchased from the store, so you don’t have to pay out of pocket at all.

"Mom, the aunt next door did it on purpose, right? It's really annoying."

"It's okay, your dad is big enough so he won't be afraid. How much have you embroidered?"

"More than a dozen. I took thirty handkerchiefs, and I will definitely finish them before I go home." Li Yuetian replied calmly, "Mom, do you think we have any in our town?"

"There should be some, but the price is certainly not as high as here."

"It's okay. Even though flies are small, they are still meat. They are idle anyway." Li Yue has a special liking for making money.

While the mother and daughter were chatting, Chang Sui, who was beside Zhou Fei, came over. Like Wang Sen, Zhou Fei also had a fever.

He had diarrhea during the day, plus the cold wind blew all night, so it was reasonable.

"...Our young mistress found a doctor for me. But the doctor also took medicine after reading it, but the fever just regressed."

It's a good thing to have a fever at this time, but it would be bad if it was the middle of the night.

"Wait while I get off, and I'll go into the house to get something."

After telling Yan Yixin and Li Yue to take care of the house, she took the needle box and left with Chang Sui.

When Li Heng saw his mother leaving, he was so angry that he went to the next door to argue.

Li Yue grabbed his sleeves, shook his head, and deliberately shouted to the next door——

"You don't know what our father is like? He can't wake up even if it's thundering, so how can this little noise wake him up? It's reasonable for people to talk in their own yard. Don't do something so shameful instead of looking for trouble."

After making insinuations, Li Heng chuckled "Haha..." and said "Yeah". As for the virtues of the woman next door, it has nothing to do with them.

As soon as the children entered the house, they heard the man next door scolding him. The scolding was very unpleasant, and they were used to it, because the couple next door often fought.

After the first exam, all the doctors in the county were extremely busy.

Taking an overnight break between two games not only tests one's physical strength, but also tests one's ability to withstand stress.

Cheng Xue pulled out the needle, looked at the prescription just prescribed by the doctor, and asked in confusion:

"Where did you find the doctor?"

"My husband is here this time with a classmate named Yu Cheng, and the doctor he brought with him helped me see it. Sister-in-law, is there something wrong with the prescription?"

Cheng Xue pursed her lips, looked at Zhou Fei with his eyes closed, and slowly shook his head.

"There's nothing wrong with the prescription, it's quite satisfactory. But this dose is definitely useless for his current lesions."

"Ah?" Lian frowned.

Being able to marry into the Zhou family was definitely not free, but she didn't expect that her classmates would actually cheat her!

"Sister-in-law, please give me a prescription again, and I'll arrange for someone to get the medicine."

"Can we still catch it?" Cheng Xue was curious.

"Yes! There is a medical clinic over there at the county government office, and all kinds of medicinal materials are available. We have brought home brands here, and they have all the medicines. Does my sister-in-law need anything? Just ask."

"No, no, no, I'll prescribe it now. You just need to arrange for someone to get the medicine."

Cheng Xue stayed at Zhou's house until it got dark, and waited until Zhou Fei was completely stable before getting up and leaving.

With such a busy schedule, Lian couldn't let her work go in vain.

"I know my sister-in-law won't ask for medical fees. I have prepared some things for her in the car. Don't refuse."

Cheng Xue didn't refuse this time. She was actually very tired. She only had to perform acupuncture and massage three times, and she had to watch with fear and concentration.

Lian held her arm and sent her off. Cheng Xue thought about it and said:

"If that man named Yu Cheng sends someone to ask, you will say that the fever has not been reduced."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I know what to do. Please take your time when you go back. After you have been busy for a while, I will invite your family to come over for dinner."

"Forget about eating, we will go back after the results are released. We still have dozens of acres of land that need to be planted, so we can't delay."

While they were talking, the two of them came to the door. After Cheng Xue got on the carriage and sat down, the carriage started to move.

There are a lot of things in the car, they are not expensive, but they are all things that can be used daily.

Material, cotton, facial cream, beads...

Needless to say, Lian is smarter than Zhou Fei, and she also has a delicate heart. The reason why she fell in love with Yu Cheng's advice is probably because she mistrusted her husband. If she can capture Zhou Fei, she will be able to move around in the future

It's okay to pour it all at once. Who can not appreciate a smart woman?!

When I got home, the coachman helped carry the things into the house, and then drove away.

Cheng Xue did not enter the room, but went next door to check on the two patients.

Wang Sen's fever has subsided and he should be sleeping comfortably now, snoring lightly. Du Pingren is up, feeling refreshed and reading a book.

"Auntie is here. The medicine is really effective. My throat no longer hurts now."

Mr. Du specially made brown sugar and jujube water and brought it over, handed it to Cheng Xue and said:

"Thank you, kid, you have helped us a lot."

"Uncle, you're welcome. I just happen to know how to order it."

"It's just a matter of knowing how to use it. I don't think your silver needle is better than Sheng Ren Tang's."

This is a bit exaggerated, but she does have some foundation, and her brain remembers things quickly, so she did not hesitate to give the injection.

After drinking the water, Cheng Xue smiled and said:

"Since there's nothing wrong, I'll go back. Don't wait too late, Pingren."

"I know, Auntie."

The grandfather and grandson sent her out of the yard together. They heard the sound of hanging the door next door, so they hung up the door.

After entering the house, Mr. Du grabbed his eldest grandson and asked in a low voice:

"Pingren, what do you think of his candy?"

Although Du Pingren is still a child, he is still sixteen years old after all, and he can instantly understand what his grandfather means.

"Grandpa, Tangtang is only ten years old, so she shouldn't be able to..."

"You're ten years old, let's get engaged first."

Du Pingren thought about it and shook his head, "Let's wait until I win the election."

"Can't you be a scholar?"

"Uncle Li will definitely become an official. He will not let his daughter marry just a scholar."

When Mr. Du heard this, he thought it was reasonable. He patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Okay, since that's the case, you should work hard, try to pass the exam as soon as possible, and marry Tangtang. This time it's for your own wife, not for me."

Du Pingren was so amused by his grandfather that he quickly went back to the house and ignored him...
