After dinner, Mrs. Li made medicine and Mrs. Zheng took out all the clothes of the family to wash.
Chen Yu was sitting in the third child's room, performing acupuncture on Ms. Cui. Seeing her mother-in-law's concentration, Ms. Cui didn't dare to express her anger, let alone her anger.
When Chen Yu looked up and saw Mrs. Cui's suffocated face, she raised her hand and slapped Ms. Cui on the back gently.
"Cough cough cough..." Ms. Cui coughed violently and tears fell down.
Chen Yu put away the embroidery needles one by one and said seemingly casually: "I'm not beating you, I'm afraid you'll get choked up."
"Mom, my daughter-in-law is afraid that her illness will spread to you." Ms. Cui said in a low voice.
Chen Yu glanced at Mrs. Cui: "It's not that easy, but you reminded me that our children are young and need to be more careful. I'll make some masks for you."
Mrs. Cui looked at Chen Yu who was walking out blankly. She always felt that her mother-in-law had changed too much, as if she was a different person.
"Mother." Su Zhuyin came over and sat next to Mr. Cui: "I chopped off my fourth uncle's fingers today."
Mrs. Cui trembled and turned her back, not daring to speak to Su Zhuyin. She lowered her voice and asked, "Why?"
Su Zhuyin pursed his lips: "My fourth uncle wanted to use me to pay off the debt. Nai got angry and told those people that he would never care about my fourth uncle from now on."
Mrs. Cui shed tears when she heard that the fourth child wanted to use her son to pay off the debt: "Mother will get better. Mom must get better."
"Mom, I'm going to put my sister to bed. I'll go into the mountains to look for wild vegetables tomorrow." Su Zhuyin had a clear idea in his little mind. He couldn't eat for free. As long as he could work, his mother wouldn't scold him anymore.
The family is useless.
Li Xiuying came in with the soup, and Mrs. Cui was also careful to avoid getting over her illness. When the chicken soup was delivered to Ms. Cui again, Ms. Cui's hands were trembling slightly.
It has been almost eight years since I passed away. Even Sheng Zhuyin had never had a sip of chicken soup at that time. He was not stupid, so he naturally discovered many things that were wrong.
Mrs. Zheng saw this and sat beside her to learn what happened at Jin'er's house meticulously. Finally, she said: "My third daughter-in-law, it seems that those of us who are daughters-in-law have managed to survive."
"Why did my mother suddenly change her gender?" Ms. Cui asked in a low voice.
Mrs. Zheng shook her head. She had been here for twelve years, and she couldn't see through it now.
But one thing Zheng is sure of is that her mother-in-law has really changed.
Chen Yu found a cloth that was starched until it was soft, made a mask and sent it over. She checked Cui's pulse when she returned. When she returned, she was thinking about how to use the medicine.
There are two big mountains behind Sujiazhuang, the closer one is Laojun Mountain, and the farther one is Mingzhu Mountain, both of which are green mountains rich in products.
There are no less than a thousand people in Sujiazhuang, but there is no doctor. If he gets seriously ill, he will go to Qingniu County, and the poorer people in the family will wait to die.
There are few people who know medical skills, and even fewer people know about herbal medicines. Besides, if most of the medicinal herbs are ingested by mistake, the consequences will be disastrous, such as the highly poisonous Nux vomica, Sichuan Wu, and Naoyanghua.
Things like that are fatal.
Herbs that others dare not touch will become inexhaustible wealth in Chen Yu's hands.
It would be too risky to practice medicine immediately, so Chen Yu decided to start by preparing herbal medicines. He could also test the market of medicinal materials by going to the medicine house.
In the early morning, Mrs. Zheng prepared three backpacks of different sizes. After dinner, Su Qianxiu took his younger brother and sister with the baskets on their backs and prepared to dig wild vegetables.
"Second Empress." Su Zhuyin stood at the door of the third room and asked in a low voice: "Can I go with Brother Qianxiu? I stay away from them. I won't get over the illness."
Chen Yu's heart felt sore when these words fell. The six-year-old child was so sensible that it made people feel distressed. However, she did not say anything, but looked at Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng didn't seem to expect that Su Zhuyin would say this. She was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "Okay, our Zhuyin has grown up too. Come on, Er Niang will find you a small backpack."
Su Yunuan, who was hiding behind Su Zhuyin, immediately stuck her head out: "Second Lady, can I want to go too?"
"Nuan Nuan is still young, so stay at home with Er Niang." Mrs. Zheng said.
Su Yunuan immediately ran over and grabbed Zheng's lapel. She raised her little face and said pitifully: "Second lady, if my brother and I can work, my mother will not scold my mother. Let Nuannuan go."
Bar."
Mrs. Zheng sighed and knelt down: "Instead of giving me a warm backpack, can I use one with my brother?"
Su Yunuan nodded immediately like a chicken pecking at rice.
Chen Yu was very satisfied with Mrs. Zheng. Although her sharp tongue was unacceptable, she really loved the children. The original turmoil in this family was ultimately caused by the original owner's partiality for Mr. Su. Now she has a crush on Mr. Su.
Si's attitude was revealed, and Zheng's whole person changed.
Mrs. Zheng watched a few children walking towards the foot of Laojun Mountain at the gate. She said in a worried voice: "Ah Xiu, don't go into the mountains, there are wild beasts!"
"I know, Mom, I'm watching a few of them." Su Qianxiu responded.
Zheng turned around and walked back when she saw Chen Yu walking over with a basket on her back. She hurried over and said, "Mom, what are you going to do?"
Chen Yu tried his best to imitate the domineering and unreasonable appearance of the original owner, and his face darkened: "I went out for a walk, and I felt aggrieved in the yard where the fart was bigger."
"Ah." Mrs. Zheng was so confused that she didn't dare to stop her for a moment, and watched Chen Yu slowly walk towards Laojun Mountain.
Mrs. Zheng couldn't figure out whether the mother-in-law had changed or not. When she looked up, she saw Li Xiuying who had boiled the soup and brought it out. She walked over and said, "Xiuying, what's going on, mother? She went to Laojun Mountain."
Li Xiuying stopped and said, "Second sister-in-law, my mother's temper is restless. I can't guarantee that we will all go to the fields to take a look."
Mrs. Zheng didn't think any more and asked Li Xiuying to deliver the decoction to the third house. She took the embroidery work and placed it on Chaoyang Slope, and called her sister-in-law Fu Niang to come out and do some work.
There is a river between Laojun Mountain and Sujiazhuang. The river is very wide and the water is quite deep. There is a wooden bridge on the river. People use the wooden bridge to go back and forth. Children of all sizes are going there now.
They dig wild vegetables, so there are a lot of people there.
The weather in late May is full of life everywhere.
There are very common herbs in the grass, such as plantain and purslane. These are all edible and medicinal. Chen Yu did not pick them, but went straight to the mountains of Laojun Mountain.
The herbal medicine that no one cared about came into Chen Yu's hands. It was a treasure that could cure diseases, save lives, and strengthen the body. Because his body was too weak, Chen Yu found a smooth stone to sit down and wanted to take a rest. He just closed his eyes and fooled around.
The scenery changed. It was a field that had never been planted. At the end of the field was a row of bamboo houses, and there was a spring that seemed to fall from mid-air. Chen Yu looked at everything in front of him in astonishment and stood up subconsciously...
