In the past, Duan Hong would become soft-hearted when she cried, but this time Duan Hong knew that he would be sorry for his son if he was soft-hearted, so he said with a heart: "It's useless for you to cry. I told you to cut off your relationship with them."
, not only did you not listen, but you also stole the family’s money to subsidize them, you are just disgusting me, aren’t you?”
"No, no..."
Ms. Qiu shook her head repeatedly, crying until she was out of breath, and looked extremely pitiful.
"Since it's not the case, then let's calculate how much subsidies you have given them over the years and ask them to pay it back when they have collected it. If they don't pay it back, don't blame me for embarrassing you regardless of the years of friendship between husband and wife!"
After saying that, Duan Hong snorted and stood up and left.
He felt that he couldn't stay here any longer, and he would be pissed to death if he stayed for a moment longer.
Seeing that their mother was like this, Duan Ronger and her sisters didn't dare to say anything. They had always known about their mother's support for their maternal family, and even helped to support them. If they made trouble again and were exposed by Duan Kuo, then they would
The gain outweighs the loss.
As a result, the monthly income of the mother and daughter changed from twenty taels to ten taels, three sets of clothes per day became two sets per month, and food was given to them four times at most. If they needed more, they would have to spend their own money to buy more from the kitchen.
For a time, the mother and daughter were all in a tight situation. Not to mention subsidizing anyone, even they themselves didn't have enough.
The most outrageous thing is that they are now Duan Kuo's housekeeper. They have to apply to Duan Kuo wherever they can find money. Whether they get it or not depends on Duan Kuo's mood. The mood of the mother and daughter has sunk to the bottom.
But Duan Kuo was a man after all, and he didn't want to embarrass the three women too much, so he said: "As long as it is reasonable, I will pass it. Don't look like the old man is dead."
Duan Kuo was the only one who dared to say this now. The mother and daughter were approaching fiercely, and when they walked away, they all had their heads lowered, as if they were defeated roosters.
Duan Kuo twitched his lips, and Wu Gui next to him immediately came to flatter him: "Master, that's wonderful! After all these years, you finally managed to get ahead!"
Wu Gui wanted to say that his daughter-in-law had become a mother-in-law, but she felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly changed her words.
"Ha~" Duan Kuo smiled contemptuously, "What do you know? I didn't bother to argue with them before!"
Although these words were a bit arrogant, Wu Gui knew that the young master was really capable of this, so he flattered him even louder.
Zhao Huanyu has been studying dishes at home for the past two days. Even if she knows the modern dishes, she can't guarantee that they will be delicious when she makes them. More importantly, she has to cater to the tastes of people of this era. Some places need to be cooked more.
Revise.
In the past few days, the Zhao family has something new to eat every day. Because there are so many varieties, the family can't finish them all. They even send them to Zhao Dagui's house, Aunt Zhang's house next door, and even the village chief's house.
The fact that Zhao Huanyu is good at medicine and her cooking is delicious cannot be hidden.
For a while, Aunt Zhang and the village chief's wife were exaggerating in the village, saying that Zhao Huanyu was a good girl who was virtuous, hard-working, and could only be born every few hundred years.
Many people just listen to it. If they have money, they are willing to use ingredients. What can they do that is not delicious?
As for this medical skill, they have never seen Zhao Huanyu treat anyone.
It's all a boast.
"Dong dong dong..."
Someone knocked on the door of Zhao Huanyu's house. At first they just knocked, but then it became more and more urgent. Ms. Gao asked, "Who is it?"
"Grandma of the Zhao family, it's me, Wang Bao, open the door quickly, I have something urgent to ask Xiaoyu for help!"
"I'm coming!"
Mrs. Gao responded, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Wang Bao asking anxiously: "Grandma Zhao, is Xiaoyu at home?"
"Here, what do you want from her?"
Mrs. Gao asked Zhao Huanyu to come out.
Seeing Zhao Huanyu, Wang Bao said: "Xiaoyu, the cow my family bought is about to die after giving birth. Can you help me go and have a look?"
Speaking of the Wang family's cow, there is a lot of nagging.
Wang Dashan has been very lucky recently. He can always catch some big prey. After buying it, he saved money and thought about buying a cow for himself.
I went to the market and felt that the price of a mature cow was too expensive. After some thought, I spent five taels less and bought a cow with cubs.
It seemed like a big advantage, but it was not easy for the cow to give birth, and she had to bear risks. Not only did she not have to work after she bought her, but she also had to serve her well and eat well. When it finally came time to give birth, she was bleeding profusely.
.
In an emergency, Mrs. Cui remembered that Zhao Huanyu knew medical skills, so she sent her son to ask Zhao Huanyu for help.
"My Xiaoyu treats people, but she doesn't understand treating animals, right?"
Gao was a little embarrassed and subconsciously wanted to refuse. Delivering a cow was not a trivial matter. If the cow died after such busy work, would Xiaoyu have to pay for another cow?
Although she knew that Wang Dashan's family was not like that, Mrs. Gao still didn't want her granddaughter to get involved in this muddy water.
Zhao Huanyu hesitated, but still said: "I have never delivered a cow before. Brother Wang Bao, let me go and have a look with you."
In any case, Wang Dashan's family still has some friendship with her own family, but it's really hard for her to refuse when this request comes to her door.
When Mrs. Gao heard this, she knew that her granddaughter was kind-hearted and was afraid that she would suffer a loss, so she hurriedly followed behind.
When we arrived at Wang Dashan's house, the surrounding neighbors came to see the cow giving birth. The cow was lying on the ground, moaning in pain, and bleeding from underneath, with a strong smell of blood.
Fortunately, Ms. Cui had changed it with clean hay in advance, so it didn't look very dirty.
"Xiaoyu, hurry up and save my cow. It's like this before it's even been plowed in the ground. It's all your fault, Uncle Dashan, for buying such a cow cheaply. If it disappears, my family will suffer a huge loss."
!”
When Mrs. Cui saw Zhao Huanyu, she hurriedly came over to hold her hand, with tears in her eyes. She felt sorry for the cow and her own money.
She had saved up so many years of savings to buy it. If it was gone like this, or two lives were lost, what would she do?
"Auntie, don't worry. I have never treated livestock, and I don't know much about it. I have to take a look first."
Zhao Huanyu comforted Cui and walked towards the cow.
The cow seemed to know that Zhao Huanyu was here to save it. It gave a low and soft moo, then lowered its head and became quiet.
Zhao Huanyu first touched its head to comfort it, and then tentatively touched its belly to check the fetal position.
The fetal position was correct, but the calf just couldn't come out.
"Xiaoyu, how are you?"
Ms. Cui's voice was trembling, and she felt more uncomfortable than her own life.
"Auntie, the calf is too big and can't get out. We have to help it."
"How can I help? Tell me, if you need anything, let me prepare it!"
Mrs. Cui responded repeatedly, and Zhao Huanyu said: "This method is a bit dangerous. It is very likely that one will die, two will die, and one will survive. Auntie, you have to be mentally prepared."
Zhao Huanyu meant that if there was an accident, there might be one dead, two lives or only one alive, but what Cui understood was that even if Zhao Huanyu helped, only one would survive at most.
Mrs. Cui couldn't hold back her tears and sighed: "What a sin!"
