Chapter 18 An old witch who even sold her own granddaughter
The Wang family gave birth to a total of four children. In addition to Wang Yulan, the family also has a second daughter and two sons.
The eldest son has been studying, but he has not achieved anything in his studies. He is several years older than Song Fuxin and has not even passed the Tongsheng entrance examination. At that time, he fell in love with two talented people from the Song family and tried his best to recruit Wang Yulan.
Stuff it in and agree that there will be no betrothal gift.
Regarding Song Fugui's marriage, Lao Xiucai had other plans. He felt that his eldest son was honest and wanted to find a powerful wife who could at least read and write. However, the original owner was short-sighted and wanted to save the gift money.
This Wang Yulan is so good, I want Wang Yulan to be my daughter-in-law.
The old showman was a showman, and he couldn't marry a wife without paying a penny, so he secretly gave the Wang family a gift of three taels of silver. Who knew that the original owner knew about it, and there was a big fuss on the day of the wedding, saying that the Wang family
The mother-in-law seduces the old scholar.
The old scholar was so angry that he fell down on the spot. From that day on, his health deteriorated and he died after almost three years.
From then on, the original owner hated Wang Yulan more and more and tortured her unscrupulously.
The wife of the Wang family took the money and gave it to her eldest son. If she didn't come back, knowing that her daughter was suffering in her husband's family, she could only watch. Later, the original owner gave her newborn second granddaughter to others, saying that it was for others.
, in fact, she received money, but the wife of the Wang family couldn't bear it anymore. She came to the door but was dragged and beaten by the original owner for a long time. That day and night, the old scholar's illness worsened, and later he died.
Song Tuanyuan knew that the original owner was a top-notch person, and the Wang family was not to blame for what happened to the old scholar, so he nodded lightly as a greeting, slowly finished the wontons in the bowl and stood up to pay the bill.
Mrs. Wang's wife watched helplessly as Song Tuanyuan paid more than ten yuan for the wontons, and tears suddenly fell from her eyes.
Wang Yulan gave birth to another daughter, and Mrs. Wang and Li heard about it from the villagers.
She wanted to go see her daughter, but she was afraid that Song Tuanyuan wouldn't want to see her.
Now that she saw that Song Tuanyuan was willing to eat wontons worth a dozen copper coins, she thought of her little granddaughter who was sold away, and she couldn't stop crying.
Just as Song Tuanyuan was about to turn around and leave, she saw the youngest son of the Wang family licking the bowl of wontons she had just finished. She was startled, thought about it, and paid an extra five cents and asked the shopkeeper to send a bowl to the youngest son of the Wang family.
Wontons.
"Yulan gave birth to a girl. I've been busy these days and haven't had time to send someone to deliver a letter to you. If I meet you today, I'll let you know!" Song Tuanyuan said, "Just skip the soup and wait until the full moon.
Say it again!"
In this country, after a daughter gives birth to a child, it is a custom for the mother-in-law's family to visit her husband's house, which is called eating soup.
Naturally, the mother-in-law's family came to the house, so they couldn't come empty-handed. They wanted to take some money, which was regarded as wedding money, to give to the newborn baby.
The Chen family's matter had not been resolved, and Song Tuanyuan had no intention of doing so. Seeing the Wang family in such a state, he was afraid that they would not have any money to make wedding gifts, so he said this.
Mrs. Wang Li didn't say anything, but held down her youngest son's hand to eat the wontons.
Song Tuanyuan thought she was there, and Mrs. Wang Li was embarrassed to let her child eat, so she turned around and left.
"Mom, I want to eat wontons!" Wang Wanhao, the youngest son of the Wang family, was so greedy that his mouth watered, staring eagerly at the bowl of steaming wontons.
"Eat, eat, you are not afraid of Madam Song poisoning you! How can an old witch who sells her own granddaughter be so kind?" Mrs. Wang Li said bitterly, looked up at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper,
We don’t want the wontons anymore. Please give us a refund, even half of it, but we haven’t touched a bite!”
As Song Tuanyuan walked, she said to Song Fugui: "This Wang Li is your mother-in-law after all. Remember to call her when you see her in the future!"
Song Fugui nodded.
Song Fujian blinked his eyes with surprise on his face, but said nothing.
His wife is really not normal.
Song Tuanyuan went to the drug store first.
There were many people in the drug store, so Song Tuanyuan asked Song Fugui and Song Fujian to wait outside the door with two baskets, while he took some samples in.
The shopkeeper was busy and didn't take it seriously when he saw Song Tuanyuan and just asked her to wait.
Song Tuanyuan had to wait aside, but most of an hour passed, and the shopkeeper still ignored her.
Song Tuanyuan's temper suddenly rose, and he said to the shopkeeper in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper, since you are not interested in my medicine, forget it!"
Song Tuanyuan turned around and bumped into someone, spilling some of the medicine.
The man glanced at the medicine scattered on the ground, bent down, picked some up, and looked at them carefully.
The shopkeeper raised his eyes, saw the man and hurried forward to greet him: "Mr. Hao, are you here? Look, I was so busy just now that I didn't see you!"
"Just here!" The person Song Tuanyuan bumped into was Mr. Hao. He took the medicine and asked the shopkeeper, "Is this your medicine?"
The shopkeeper glanced at the dendrobium and frowned slightly: "How is this made? Why is it fried dry? Mr. Hao, don't be angry. This is not my medicine. We will not accept this kind of powdered medicine!"
The shopkeeper pretended to drive Song Tuanyuan away: "Let's go, let's go quickly, I said I won't collect the powdered medicine!"
Song Tuanyuan was stunned, this was not what the shopkeeper said before.
"Since it's not your medicine, I bought it from this lady!" Mr. Hao said calmly.
The shopkeeper was stunned and looked at Mr. Hao in disbelief: "What did you say? You said you wanted this medicine? But this medicine..."
Mr. Hao sneered: "It's a shame that you are the shopkeeper of such a big drug store, but you don't know that the best way to prepare dendrobium is to soak it in wine and then stir-fry it. However, because dendrobium is not a precious medicinal material, this processing method is too complicated, and it is still
You have to control the heat carefully, so not many people use this method. Except for the imperial pharmacy, most people wash it, cut it into pieces and dry it in the sun."
Cold sweat broke out on the shopkeeper's forehead. Mr. Hao said that there was such a way to cook it, so there was. He raised his eyes and glanced at Song Tuanyuan, and then he remembered who Song Tuanyuan was.
"Oh, it turns out it's you. Look, I was so busy just now that I didn't even notice you!" The shopkeeper immediately smiled at Song Tuanyuan, then turned to Mr. Hao and said, "This is the pharmacist who has been working with our shop for a long time.
, look, I was so busy and confused that I didn’t recognize it!”
Mr. Hao sneered and looked up at Song Tuanyuan: "Is what he said true?"
The shopkeeper looked at Song Tuanyuan longingly.
Song Tuanyuan knew that if she could become the pharmacist of this pharmacy, the medicines she would make would be delivered locally, but she didn't want to offend Mr. Hao. After all, she didn't make much money from medicine, and her goal was to continue studying medicine.
In modern times, she has been undergoing chemotherapy to fight cancer. Although she has learned theoretical knowledge, she still lacks practical experience.
"It's true that we intend to cooperate for a long time, but this dendrobium is my first gift. It's probably the shopkeeper who didn't notice it!" Song Tuanyuan said with a smile.
