In the middle of the afternoon, the heavy rain finally slowed down and finally stopped. Shui Miaomiao gave the last medicinal materials at home to those who were seriously ill to use first, and the rest could only wait.

I hope the village chief and others will come back soon.

"Get out of the way and let me in. Why doesn't she give me the medicine? Why doesn't she give it to others but not me." Suddenly there was a noise outside the courtyard door, and Mrs. Zhou's sharp voice came out.

"Third Aunt, please stop making trouble, okay? You just have a cold. Go back and drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold." Liu Mei's helpless voice also came.

"Why, why don't you give me the medicine? Get out of my way. Your family is taking advantage of my feelings." Mrs. Zhou threw Liu Mei aside as soon as she waved her hand and rushed towards Shui Miaomiao.

Liu Mei had been busy all night last night, and today she was worried about her mother-in-law's health. She fell down straight after being thrown away by her. Fortunately, Zhou Hongyu heard the sound and came out, so he supported her when she fell to the ground.

.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Zhou Hongyun looked at her pale-faced sister-in-law and felt a little distressed. My mother has fallen down, so nothing can happen to her sister-in-law.

On the other side, Mrs. Zhou had already rushed to Shui Miaomiao, pointed at Shui Miaomiao's nose and asked, "Miaomiao girl, I've caught a cold, please give me some medicine."

Shui Miaomiao narrowed his eyes when he saw Mrs. Zhou rushing towards him. He had just seen Mrs. Zhou push someone, and of course he heard her arrogant voice. It was really not worth getting angry with such a person, but it was not her fault to give in.

style.

So she smiled slightly and stretched out her slender hand in front of Mrs. Zhou, "Auntie, if you want to get some medicine, just put some money first. A pair of medicine for treating wind and cold costs about 120 copper coins. For the sake of the reputation of the villagers, I will give you 100 coins."

A copper plate is ready."

"What? More money?" Mrs. Zhou's voice suddenly became louder, as if she was being bullied, and her eyes were as wide as bells.

Shui Miaomiao was also surprised and said in confusion, "Auntie, I know how to joke. Of course I have to pay for the medicine. Could it be that my medicine was blown by the strong wind?"

"Then why didn't you ask them for money? Are you bullying me, an old woman?" Mrs. Zhou asked confidently, pointing her hand towards the house.

"Who said we won't give you money?" It wasn't Shui Miaomiao who answered this time. Zhou Hongyu's voice came from behind her, and she was supporting Liu Mei, who looked unhappy. The two of them came to Mrs. Zhou and stood opposite her.

Liu Mei looked at Mrs. Zhou coldly and said, "Of course we have to give money for medical treatment. My father-in-law made an agreement with sister Miaomiao last night. All medicines used must be registered. Those who have money at home will be given first, and those who don't have money will be given first."

I also need to discuss a way to repay the debt with Sister Miaomiao."

"Third Aunt, Miaomiao's medicine didn't come from the strong wind. I don't have any money at home, but I will pay it back. If Aunt wants to take the medicine, she should get the money first!" Zhou Hongyu is not used to Mrs. Zhou, and her third aunt is not easy to talk to.

, if you dare to let her take advantage once, she will dare to take advantage of you.

Therefore, this hole cannot be opened. If she is allowed to take advantage, sister Miaomiao will probably be eaten to pieces, and then she will not be able to survive in Zhoujiacun.

Shui Miaomiao looked at her two friends and her lips curled up, but the bad guys couldn't let them do it. She reached out to hold their hands and said, "Sister-in-law Mei, Sister Hongyu, you are right, but for the sake of the village chief,

I won’t accept the consultation fee, but the medicine was given to me at Jimin Hall. Although I want to do good things, I can’t lose too much, and I can’t afford it!”

She said so much in one breath, and finally looked at Mrs. Zhou and added, "Aunt Zhou, please give me the money for the medicine first."

"Yin, what kind of money? Why don't I just ask you for some medicine? Who knew you were so stingy? You are a fellow villager and you still have to collect money." Mrs. Zhou exploded again. How could she expect her to pay for it?

"It's only right to pay for the medicine. It doesn't matter if the third sister-in-law doesn't want to get the medicine from Miaomiao girl. Doctor Zhong's master and apprentice just happened to be here, so it's okay to show it to them." Just as Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, Village Chief Zhou said something.

Some angry voices came from behind.

When everyone turned around, they saw a group of more than a dozen people carrying baskets on their backs. Their coir raincoats were wet and clinging to their bodies, and water was still dripping onto the ground. However, the village chief's face was frighteningly dark.

Uncle Zhong and the others did not expect to encounter such a thing as soon as they entered the door, but they were really used to it. There are such people everywhere, and this was not the first time they encountered them, but what the village chief said just now made her

He also heard it and glanced at Mrs. Zhou who had a sharp look on her face and said something in agreement.

"I need a consultation fee for visiting a doctor. I just give you twenty coppers at a time in the shop. As for the medicine, I never default on it."

Mrs. Zhou must also know Mr. Zhong. She knows that this man is not only a doctor, but also the owner of Jimin Hall. She also heard that there are people in the family who are officials, which is not something she, an old woman, dares to provoke. So when Mr. Zhong spoke, she stepped back.

He murmured in his mouth.

"No, no, I just feel a little cold. I'll just go back and drink two bowls of ginger soup."

Zhong Yuanming, who was standing next to his grandfather, looked at Mrs. Zhou who was slowly retreating and frowned. He suddenly took a step forward and said to Mrs. Zhou, "Auntie, don't leave in a hurry."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhou heard someone telling her to run faster. She joked about what she was doing by staying. There was only one result of staying, which was to pay for medicine. If she was asked to pay for medicine, it would cost her her life.

Zhong Yuanming watched the woman running so fast, and looked at his grandfather in shock. He couldn't understand what was going on with that man. "Grandpa, am I so scary? How could he run so fast?"

Mr. Zhong chuckled and did not answer his silly grandson's words. Instead, he looked back at Shui Miaomiao and asked, "Miaomiao girl, tell me why this silly grandson is doing this."

Shui Miaomiao pursed her lips and smiled, but asked lightly, "Do you need money for medical treatment?"

"Of course I do. If you don't give money to take medicine, Jimin Tang will collapse." Zhong Yuanming answered honestly. Only then did he react and asked in disbelief, "She is afraid of paying for it."

Shui Miaomiao didn't answer but smiled politely. She really had nothing to say to Mrs. Zhou. Now was not the time to talk. She quickly called the village chief and others to put down the medicinal materials. Those at home were still waiting for the medicine! Especially the village chief's wife.

Sickness cannot be delayed.

Thinking that he had a lot to do, it was troublesome that the village chief's wife's illness had been delayed for so long. Mr. Zhong happened to be here, so he simply handed the patient over to him.

"Uncle Zhong, Aunt Liu fell ill due to cold and fright last night. She has developed a fever in the morning. I'm going to grab the medicinal materials and boil it now. Could you please help me, Uncle Zhong?"
