Chapter 35 Secret Weapon
A woman came over and sighed:
"Xiao Zhi is a poor kid. He is the only one in the family. Our neighbors pooled some money together to help him take care of his mother's funeral."
Funeral arrangements?
Luo Lan looked at the woman who spoke and the group of people in astonishment. Although it was too early for them to do this, she was really touched by the fact that there could be such affection between neighbors.
She glanced at everyone, then smiled slightly,
"I'm very touched that everyone can do this, but Xiaozhi's mother is fine. Please put these things away! Whoever has time can help take care of her."
Hearing what she said, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Several men who were doing carpentry work also froze on the spot, not knowing what to do.
Xiaozhi looked at her with disbelief, "Sister, are you telling the truth? Is my mother really okay?"
Luo Lan pursed her lips and smiled. She raised her hand, touched his little face and said softly:
"Do you think my sister is joking? But she won't wake up until night, and she will be bedridden for seven days. If you don't have time to take care of her, I will find someone to come over..."
Hearing this, several women raised their hands and said, "We can take care of her. We can take turns taking care of her."
Hearing what they said, Luo Lan nodded in relief and said to Xiao Zhi:
"Come in with me, and my sister will tell you how to change your mother's dressing."
She was really worried about leaving the task of changing the IV bottle to someone else, so it was safer to leave it to Xiaozhi.
Xiaozhi was indeed a smart child. She simply told him the process of changing dressings and removing needles, and he nodded heavily.
"Sister, I understand. As long as my mother wakes up, I can do whatever she wants."
She touched her head and said softly:
"Don't worry, she can wake up! You can chat with her when it gets dark, and give her some porridge tomorrow morning. I will come to change her dressing tomorrow."
Although he was curious about where her medicine came from, Xiaozhi still refrained from asking. Only his mother could be cured, and he didn't care about anything.
When she was about to leave, Xiaozhi's neighbors looked at him like a weirdo. Some of them didn't believe that she could really cure Xiaozhi's mother. Some even decided to wait here until Xiaozhi's mother
wake up.
As soon as she stepped out of the gate, Xiaozhi chased her.
"Sister, take this chicken back with you! I owe you the medical fees first. When I grow up and make money, I will pay it to my sister."
Looking at Xiaozhi's childish but pertinent face, Luo Lan pursed her lips and smiled,
"Keep this chicken and lay eggs and sell it for money! You can pay sister's medical fees first, and give half of it to me when you grow up."
Xiaozhi pursed his lips and looked at her with questioning eyes,
"Really? Will sister come to change my mother's dressing tomorrow?"
"Of course, sister's consultation fee is very expensive. You will have to earn more money when you grow up!"
"Don't worry, sister." Xiaozhi suddenly stood up straight and said decisively:
"I will definitely double, no, triple or ten times repay my sister's medical expenses. If Xiaozhi's mother wakes up, Xiaozhi will definitely come to thank my sister for saving her life!"
His eyes and mind really do not match his age, and his tone of voice and way of doing things are even more methodical than those of adults.
Luo Lan touched his head and smiled softly, "Okay! It's settled then. My sister will treat your mother without any medical fees. When you grow up, you can pay it back to your sister together."
After saying this, she gave some instructions on how to take care of her mother, and then walked towards Prince Yu's Mansion.
She was too tired from running when she came, so she didn't plan to run again when she got back. She wanted to walk leisurely. She even thought that Prince Yu's Mansion needed to buy a carriage, otherwise it would be inconvenient to go out.
When it came to buying things, she started to worry again. The palace would be out of food tomorrow. It seemed that she would have to discuss with Leng Yu when she went back and exchange his things for money to sustain herself.
But this is not a long-term solution. He has a lot of things that can last for a while, but not for a lifetime.
Thinking about this problem, she felt a headache,
How on earth can money beget money?
Now, Leng Yu is paralyzed in bed, the court has cut off her salary, and the burden of the entire palace falls on her. How can she make money to support this large family?
Suddenly, she felt her eyes light up. If she wanted to make money, she had to find her strengths.
Isn’t her greatest strength the treatment of others? She can charge consultation fees for medical treatment!
Thinking of this, she suddenly became excited and her walking felt much lighter. However, this matter had to be discussed with Leng Yu. After all, she was the princess of Prince Yu's palace. It was somewhat inappropriate for a woman to show her face in this era.
It was already noon when she returned home. Ayu also came back with the cast copper kettle, and Luo Lan returned to the house with the copper kettle made specially for him.
Today, Leng Yu was not worried because of Luo Lan's departure. He knew that the girl would not give up on him.
It wasn't until he heard her opening the door that a happy and proud smile appeared on his lips.
"Leng Yu, look what I brought you."
As soon as she came in, she couldn't wait to hold the urinal in front of him.
When he saw it, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked:
"This is?"
"This is for you. You can use it to relieve the toilet in the future."
Luo Lan gestured as he spoke.
Looking at this copper pot with a big belly and a small mouth, Leng Yu's eyes were filled with surprise. It was better to do it by himself than to trouble her.
"Would you like to try it?"
Luo Lan was about to lift his quilt with the chamber pot, but he quickly stopped him.
"No, I don't have it right now..."
He reached out and took the urinal and placed it within his reach on the bed. Luo Lan then ordered:
"Okay! Then put it there, you can get it easily, and call me when you finish peeing, otherwise it will smell if you leave it for a long time."
After saying that, she went to lift his quilt and muttered: "I have been out all morning, otherwise I should have changed this cushion long ago."
Leng Yu's face turned red. He pursed his lips tightly and closed his eyes slightly, embarrassed to look at her.
After a while, she helped him change into a clean changing pad, and then sat next to him. Looking at his blushing face due to embarrassment, she discussed gently:
"Leng Yu, I have two things to discuss with you."
Leng Yu pursed his lips and looked at her, "Just make the decision, you don't need to discuss it with me."
Luo Lan raised her hand and pinched the tip of his nose, "What should we do? We are living alone now, so of course we have to discuss family matters with you."
Hearing this, Leng Yu was stunned. She said that the two of them lived together. Why did this sound so agreeable to him?
So he nodded slightly, "Then you say it! I'll listen."
Luo Lan then said:
"Two things. First, I want to exchange something from you for money. My family's expenses have been relatively high recently."
"OK."
He replied directly without thinking, "Those things are an eyesore when placed there, so just pawn them all!"
Luo Lan nodded and then said: "One more thing, I want to open a medical clinic in the palace..."
After she said this, Leng Yu was stunned for a moment. He frowned deeply and pondered for a long time before speaking:
Chapter completed!
