Until he left Wen Juan's wedding banquet, Nuan Nuan still felt so sick when he thought about the appearance of Lu Guozhi and Wen Juan just now that goosebumps almost fell from his body.
"How did you know that Lu Guozhi had twins?" Lu Jinchuan's voice interrupted Nuan Nuan's thoughts.
How did she know?
Warmth and a chill on the back.
Because she personally raised those two white-eyed wolves in her previous life.
"Just... one day I went to the county town and accidentally met him talking to someone else," Nuan Nuan lowered his head and said, "I learned that not only did he have two children, but he also often beat his former wife."
Nuan Nuan didn't know how Lu Guozhi's ex-wife died in his previous life. He only knew that this matter was taboo in the Lu family and could not be mentioned.
Nuan Nuan guessed that he might have been beaten to death.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel cold all over.
Lu Jinchuan misunderstood that she felt a little distressed when she remembered the beatings she received in the past.
"No one will dare to hit you in the future."
Wen Nuan nodded. She is not the stupid girl she used to be. She will pay back double the amount to anyone who dares to hit her.
Lu Jinchuan was about to speak, but suddenly there was a boy in front of him who was crying and running toward them. When he saw Wen Nuan, the boy cried louder, "Sister Wen Wennan, hurry up and save my dad."
"Xiao Ming, what's wrong with your dad?" Wen Nuan hurriedly assisted him and asked.
"He has been coughing. My brother has gone to the mountains, and my mother doesn't know what to do..." Zhu Xiaoming cried and said, "Sister Wenwen, please help me."
"Okay, let's go take a look." Wen Nuan said, "Don't cry, uncle will be fine."
Zhu Xiaoming was comforted and ran home with Nuan Nuan.
Zhu Honghai used to work as a worker in a boiler factory. One year, there was an accident in the boiler factory. He jumped in to save people and injured his lungs. He has been relying on medicine for these years and rarely comes out.
The last time Wen Nuan saw him was a few months ago, when she went to deliver dumplings to the Zhu family. At that time, Zhu Honghai was very thin.
As soon as I walked to the door of Zhu's house, I heard a heart-wrenching cough, and Liu Xiu'e was holding Zhu Honghai and crying.
When Wen Nuan and Lu Jinchuan came in, they smelled the smell of blood.
"Stop crying," Zhu Honghai gasped for a while and said, "This... is all life."
"No, Dongming has already gone to the mountains to look for ginseng," Liu Xiu'e said sadly, "When Dongming comes back, you will be saved."
It turns out that Zhu Dongming went to the mountain to find ginseng?!
"Aunt Xiu'e," Wen Nuan called her, "can ginseng save Uncle Hong Hai?"
Liu Xiu'e turned her head blankly and looked at Wen Nuan, "You... ginseng?"
"Do you have ginseng?" She reacted and hugged Wen Nuan's arms excitedly, "Wen Nuan, aunt, please, if you have ginseng, can you let Uncle Hong Hai use it?"
"We buy...no, we borrow. We will pay you back when we have money later."
If it was really still ginseng, their family wouldn't have the money to buy it due to their current situation.
"Yes, yes." Wen Nuan nodded, "It's just that you can't use this ginseng indiscriminately. Which doctor showed it to Uncle Hong Hai?"
"Mr. Zhang." Liu Xiu'e said, "Xiao Ming, hurry up... hurry up and invite Mr. Zhang."
Wen Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. The Mr. Zhang Liu Xiu'e mentioned was a doctor who was sent to them. He knew Chinese medicine and was capable. Later, Wen Wen found out that Mr. Zhang came from a family of Chinese medicine.
After he was rehabilitated, he became very famous in Kyoto and often treated some big leaders.
"Ajin, Mr. Zhang is old. You can drive to pick him up." Wen Nuan said.
Lu Jinchuan nodded, glanced at Wen Nuan, "Okay."
After the two went back together, Lu Jinchuan drove to pick him up, while Nuan Nuan went home to get ginseng.
She had kept the ginseng in the spiritual kitchen for safekeeping. Originally, Wen Nuan planned to dispose of the ginseng when she went to Kyoto, but luckily she did not dispose of it.
Zhu Dongming returned home with his head drooped. Hearing his mother's low cry, his heart felt as if a ball of cotton had been stuffed into it. He was so stuffy and uncomfortable that he couldn't speak out.
He leaned against the wall blankly and looked at the sky.
It rained a little at night a few days ago. Zhu Honghai accidentally contracted a cold and kept coughing. He didn't get better after taking medicine.
Mr. Zhang whispered to him in private that if he could not find ginseng again, his father might not be able to survive this winter.
These days, Zhu Dongming goes out early and returns late every day to look for ginseng in the mountains, but he has no luck at all.
I actually saw a pit a few days ago. It must have been dug out by someone who got there first.
Zhu Dongming was angry that he was useless and couldn't even find personal ginseng.
When Nuan Nuan came in, he happened to see Zhu Dongming squatting in the corner holding his head and beating himself, which made him feel quite sad.
"Brother Dongming," she called, "are you okay?"
Zhu Dongming looked at Wen Nuan with red eyes.
She is already married.
In the past few days, he was busy going into the mountains to find ginseng, and he didn't even attend the warm wedding.
To be precise, when he knew she was going to get married, Zhu Dongming paralyzed himself and said he was going into the mountains to find ginseng, which was actually a kind of escape.
He was afraid of seeing Wen Nuan getting married.
"I'm fine." Zhu Dongming rubbed his face and showed an ugly smile, "Are you... coming back today?"
"Well," Wen Nuan nodded, "Don't be afraid, Uncle Hong Hai will be fine."
"Thank you." Zhu Dongming's eyes were red.
When Lu Jinchuan came in, he happened to see the two of them standing in the yard. Zhu Dongming was looking at Wen Nuan without blinking, but Wen Wenhua didn't notice at all and comforted him softly.
"Xiao Nuan," Lu Jinchuan called her, interrupting the unclear atmosphere in the yard, "Mr. Zhang is here to pick her up."
"Sir," Zhu Dongming stepped forward excitedly and took the old gentleman's medicine box, "please take a look at father."
Nuan Nuan smiled at Lu Jinchuan and followed him in.
"I heard you found ginseng?" Mr. Zhang asked after taking his pulse.
Zhu Dongming drooped his head, "No..."
"Yes, I found it," Liu Xiu'e said excitedly, "Nuan Nuan, please take out your ginseng and show it to the old gentleman?"
Zhu Dongming suddenly looked up at Wen Nuan, and then realized that Wen Wen was holding a wooden box in his hand.
It's just that the box was a little worn, and he hadn't noticed it just now.
"Old sir, what do you think of this?" Wen Nuan handed over the wooden box.
Mr. Zhang first squinted his eyes and looked at it, then smelled it, and finally stood up excitedly, walked under the window and took a closer look, "Little girl, do you know how old this ginseng is?"
Wen Nuan shook his head.
"It's over a hundred years old, and it smells absolutely top-notch." The old man was a little excited.
"Then... with this ginseng tree, will his father be saved?" Liu Xiu'e asked excitedly and hopefully.
"Use this ginseng as a medicine and take good care of it later," the old man said. "Although it's not 100% good, it's only 70% good."
