Aunt Cui has been ill in bed for a long time, and Cui Weizhen is a man and cannot take care of her carefully and personally. Many things are inconvenient after all. This situation only got better after Ye Zhenzhen married in.
Ye Zhenzhen is a woman, so there is no need to be taboo about taking care of men and women, such as fetching water to wash her body, massage to clear the blood circulation, etc. She can do it for her. After such care, Aunt Cui's mental outlook has improved significantly, and her face has become fresh.
gas.
When Ye Zhenzhen carried her into the wheelchair and pushed her out, bathing in the long-lost sunshine and fresh air, her pale face couldn't help but smile, "Zhen'er is smart and filial, and she keeps everything in order at home and abroad. I can marry you."
, is the blessing of our Cui family."
Not all young daughters-in-law can serve their mother-in-law who is seriously ill in bed without any complaints, let alone the care she takes in every possible way to help her recover. Aunt Cui sees this in her eyes and remembers it.
From the bottom of my heart.
Ye Zhenzhen had gone to the hospital as a volunteer in her previous life and had a lot of experience in caring for patients. Others might have disliked Aunt Cui, but she had experience and she just wanted to serve as a volunteer again, so she had no inner resistance at all, so
Only then did she become the image of a virtuous daughter-in-law in Aunt Cui's eyes.
She was a little embarrassed, twirled Aunt Cui's cloak, and began to change the subject, "Mom, you have almost finished your medicine. I think your condition has improved. It's time to ask the doctor to take a look and prescribe the right medicine again."
"No, just continue to catch it according to the previous method, there is nothing wrong."
Ye Zhenzhen knew why Aunt Cui refused. It was simply because asking a doctor for consultation cost money. Her family was in a difficult situation and she was unwilling to spend more money.
Aunt Cui obviously couldn't explain it, so Ye Zhenzhen decided to go find Brother Zhen.
Brother Zhen was staying in the study at this time. When Ye Zhenzhen came in, he was writing quickly. He had already written half a page of rice paper. He was not practicing calligraphy, but writing strategies.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't dare to disturb his thoughts and quietly sat down on the low stool next to him, looking at the furnishings in the study in boredom.
It is said to be a study room, but it is actually very shabby. Apart from simple desks, tables and chairs, there is not even a bookshelf. Books are precious these days. The Cui family obviously does not have any extra silver to buy books. They only have the Four Books and Five Classics required for the imperial examination. Judging from the handwriting,
These books were copied by Brother Zhen himself.
Most of the money spent on studying was spent on books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Brother Zhen has been working hard these days and has spent almost all of the grinding bars and rice paper. There is still some time before the college exam, so he obviously needs to buy more.
only……
Thinking of the silver, Ye Zhenzhen sighed sadly.
She didn't know how much silver the Cui family had, but she was obviously very poor. Apart from the piece of silver she cheated from Li Erniang, she only had a dowry of fifty copper coins.
Her dowry was extremely shabby, with no land, dowry, or money. She only had a box of clothes, two quilts, and pots and pans. The fifty copper coins were stuffed to her by Aunt Ye.
Without money, it is really difficult to move forward.
"What are you sighing about?"
The sudden sound made Ye Zhenzhen come out of her deep thoughts and found that Brother Zhen had finished his decision-making at some point and was looking at her with a frown, obviously very puzzled by her frown.
"I'm worried about money."
Ye Zhenzhen sighed again, "If mother is ill, please call the doctor to come and take a look. Brother Zhen, you want to buy more calligraphy treasures. All these will cost money."
Cui Weizhen took out a wooden box from the corner and handed it over, "There are five taels of silver in it, which is enough for my mother to watch the doctor take medicine. As for the calligraphy rice paper, I will go up the mountain again and buy some wild animals, and I can get enough money."
.”
"Don't."
Ye Zhenzhen quickly stopped him, "How can wild animals be so easy to kill? There are many jackals, tigers and leopards on the mountain. Now that the hospital exam is coming, what should you do if you are accidentally injured? Don't worry about the money, I will find a solution.
"
She has dried a lot of dried mushrooms and dug a lot of bamboo shoots these days. She should be able to make some money by selling some bacon. It won't be too late to go shopping in the county and see what business opportunities there are before making a decision.
.
Cui Weizhen fell silent. It is true that he has some knowledge of martial arts, but he is not strong enough to fight with ferocious beasts. Ye Zhenzhen's concerns are reasonable. He has been delayed for three years to keep his filial piety. This time, he can't say anything in the college examination.
I'm on a business trip.
"There's no rush for the money. I'll go to the county first tomorrow and invite the doctor back to see my mother."
"I'll go too."
Cui Weizhen hesitated for a while, but finally nodded under Ye Zhenzhen's expectant eyes.
The distance between Yejiacun and the county was not short, and a round trip would take at least half a day. It was very inconvenient for Aunt Cui to be at home alone, so Ye Zhenzhen could only prepare everything in advance.
The next day, she got up early to cook and prepared Aunt Cui's meals for the day and the dry food to be taken away. She also went to say hello to Aunt Ye and asked her to go to Cui's house to take care of her when she was free.
Prepare wild vegetables and bacon, and set off for the county with Brother Zhen.
There is an oxcart at the entrance of the village that goes to the county. The driver is the father of a big girl who talks nonsense and has been doused with magic fluids. He is known as Uncle Erde. At this moment, his oxcart is already filled with many villagers going to the market. They are far away.
From a distance, I saw a young couple walking towards each other carrying a basket, so I greeted them, "Da Ya, brother Zhen, can you take a car? One copper per person is very cheap."
Ye Zhenzhen was a little hesitant, two copper coins was a lot.
Cui Weizhen took out two coins and handed them over, "Let's take the car and walk all the way there. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time for the early market."
It's true that people go to the market early rather than late. If you go late, you may not be able to sell anything.
Ye Zhenzhen climbed onto the cart and sat down next to Brother Zhen. The farmer's ox cart was not clean. It was stained with traces of transportation, excrement, straw, soil... everything was there, and the smell was very unpleasant. She
She couldn't help but move closer to Brother Zhen. He had the clean and fresh scent of honey locust on his body, which at least saved her sense of smell.
An aunt in the car started teasing her, "We are a newlywed couple after all. It's so sticky, it's like a candy bar, and I can't even break it off."
The rest of the ladies and the elders all laughed together, telling dirty jokes without any taboos, "Brother Zhen is a talented person. I guess he is not only great in literary talent, but also in martial arts. A fierce girl like Da Ya can't be trained to be submissive."
Post it?"
Ye Zhenzhen's face turned red with embarrassment and she was almost stunned.
Isn’t it said that ancient people were conservative?
This person who talks so much about yellow waste is so shocking!
Cui Weizhen looked sideways and saw that Ye Zhenzhen's face was already flushed, her eyes were filled with mist, and she looked shy and timid. She actually had a pitiful and cute demeanor, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The people in the car looked at it and laughed again, and the teasing didn't stop all the way.
It's no wonder they gossiped. There was little entertainment in the village, and Cui Weizhen didn't often walk around the village. He was considered a rare figure. Now that he was getting married to the village chief's family, it was like stepping down from the altar, which was enough for them to talk for a while.
