A group of people followed Luo Qingjiu to the Li family, including some who grew medicinal materials at home. At first glance, they saw that the medicinal materials in the small frying pan were exactly the same as what Shen said.
The Codonopsis pilosula alone is worth one or two cents!
The incident in Guyang Village didn't look good when it came to the town. Several aunts who had grown medicinal herbs at home early in the morning volunteered to help calculate the money.
In the end, the Li family was still short of Shen Yue by three taels and twenty cents. With Wei from Qin County here, the Li family had no choice but to scrape together a few taels here and there.
Aunt Li returned to her weak look again, "Boy from the Luo family, just forget about these twenty cents... Look at the situation at home..."
Luo Qingjiu narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "My wife works hard every day to support me in taking the imperial examination. It is not easy to make money. Twenty coins is still money."
When Aunt Li saw that he didn't buy it, she immediately turned down her face, gave Luo Qingjiu twenty coins, and kicked everyone out of their house.
The farce ended like this, but everyone knew very well that the feud between the two families was getting deeper and deeper.
…
Li Xiuxiu, who had just returned home from the town, was shocked when she saw her father lying unconscious on the bed, and how could one of his arms be broken?
Full of questions, Li Xiuxiu found Aunt Li who was sobbing in the yard, "Mom, what is going on? Why did dad become like that?!"
As soon as Aunt Li heard Li Xiuxiu's voice, her hidden cry became louder and louder, "Xiuxiu! What should we do? What should we do with this family in the future?"
"Mom!" Li Xiuxiu shouted, running towards Aunt Li and supporting her mother who almost fainted from crying, "What on earth is going on?"
"Your father and your second uncle went to the mountains yesterday, but unexpectedly they encountered a big insect. One was bitten on a leg and the other was bitten on a hand. Both of them are now paralyzed on the bed and unable to move." Second Aunt Li said. As he spoke, he wiped away his tears.
Li Xiuxiu just noticed the obvious traces of bandaging, so she frowned and asked, "Didn't the doctor bandage it? What did he say?"
It was a good thing that Li Xiuxiu didn't mention this matter. At this mention, Aunt Li's mood, which had just calmed down, suddenly became excited again, and she could no longer hide her emotions.
"It's all the fault of that bitch Shen! She didn't cure your father, and even cheated him out of five taels and twenty coins. It's all her fault. She just doesn't want our family to have an easy time!"
Second Aunt Li stubbornly blamed all of this on Shen Yue, wishing she could rush in front of her and strangle her to death.
Li Xiuxiu didn't know the whole story, so she believed her mother's words, and her resentment towards Shen Yue increased by several layers.
With her mother's cries in her ears and her father's painful appearance in her mind, Li Xiuxiu felt that her life was really terrible.
Thinking of this, her hand unconsciously touched her lower abdomen, and her thoughts became more and more certain.
She looked down on the senile appearance of the boss of the embroidery shop, but at the moment, only he could let herself surpass Shen Yue! Only he could get the people from the medicine hall to save her father.
And she is indeed pregnant as Shen Yue said. In this case, she might as well make good use of it...
Perhaps in a moment of excitement, or perhaps in order to save her broken family, Li Xiuxiu grabbed Aunt Li's hand and said seriously, "Mom, I have decided, I will marry!"
Second Aunt Li was shocked when she heard Li Xiuxiu's words. She never thought that Xiuxiu would compromise...
Didn’t you say that you would never marry even if you died?
"Xiuxiu, have you... thought it through?" Second Aunt Li stopped crying and looked at Li Xiuxiu seriously.
Li Xiuxiu nodded solemnly.
…
Luo Family Courtyard.
Luo Qingjiu took the silver back and asked for praise, "Madam, three taels and twenty cents, that's a lot!"
Shen Yue took it with a smile, her boss did a great job! But they shouldn’t be spared a dime!
Let them continue to bite people randomly!
Shen Yue pulled out the money jar from under the bed and stuffed all the money into it. Halfway through, she felt something was wrong.
She moved the money jar to the bed and poured out all the money.
One tael, two taels, three taels...three hundred and ninety-nine taels...four hundred taels...
Huh? Something's wrong?
How come there are so many more at once?
Shen Yue counted it again, and it was still the same number. Excluding the money given to the big boss for the imperial examination, it was ninety-nine taels more!
Shen Yue raised her eyes and unexpectedly met Luo Qingjiu's smiling eyes.
"Ms. sir! You put it in? Right?" Shen Yue's eyes widened.
If it weren't for her boss, who would put small amounts of money in her money jar?
So much more!
Luo Qingjiu had a smile in her eyes but said nothing.
"Ms. sir, what did you do to earn so much?" Shen Yue stepped forward and took Luo Qingjiu's arm, trying to get information from him.
"Well, I didn't do much, I just did some small business." Luo Qingjiu said lightly.
He couldn't help but feel excited inside, so he said that he could make his wife feel more relaxed.
Shen Yue put away the jar and pushed it inside. With the money from the boss, she could go directly and book Guo's shop.
The night was slightly cool, and Shen Yue slept particularly soundly today, whether it was because of the money jar under the bed or Luo Qingjiu beside her.
…
Things at the drug store are on the agenda, and we have to work harder on medicinal materials.
Shen Yue got up early in the morning, and the medicinal materials picked the day before were almost ready. She also wanted to go into the mountains again to collect some medicinal materials to make pills and powders, so that when the medicine shop opens, it can better and more conveniently dispense medicines to people.
Luo's mother saw her putting on the backpack again, and she became panicked, "Ah Yue, are you going to the mountain again?"
Luo Qingjiu heard the sound in the room and followed her out, "What are you doing?"
Shen Yue looked at both of them looking very nervous and paused, "I just went to see if there is anything else I can pick without going into the mountains..."
"no!"
"It's better not to go, it's too dangerous."
Shen Yue heard the mother and son stop her in unison, and felt dumbfounded for a moment.
"I'm just going out to take a look and collect some medicinal materials from the surrounding areas. I won't go into the mountains, so don't be nervous."
Luo Qingjiu frowned when he heard this, and took off Shen Yue's backpack without any doubt, "Something happened just now. Stay here for a few days. Although the thing was found on the right side, you can't guarantee that it won't move. ."
"Yes, Yue'er, just listen to us and don't go, otherwise my mother will always feel uneasy." Mother Luo's eyes were also full of worry.
"Then we can't go up the mountain?" Shen Yue asked in confusion.
She knew they were worried about her, but if they couldn't go up the mountain, there would be a lot less medicinal materials, and the treasure hunt function on the map only works once a day, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
"At the very least, don't go there these days. Wait a few days before talking." Luo Qingjiu looked at Shen Yue's somewhat disappointed look and couldn't help but sigh slightly, "My mother and I are very worried about you."
