Until the afternoon, Zhang's treatment was finally over. Lin Yuxi took the injection and gave instructions on what to pay attention to in life.
Liu Zhaofei went to the counter to get medicine, and the bill only cost 160 yuan.
"Did you miscalculate?"
The apprentice at the counter counted it again and said, "No, that's all."
He gave the money, found Liu Quan'er, and helped his mother onto the bullock cart. He saw Lin Yuxi talking to shopkeeper Zhao, so he nodded to her.
Of course he knew that Renjitang deliberately charged less. How could such a good medicine and such time-consuming medicine only cost 160 yuan? He had no choice but to keep this favor in his heart.
Lin Yuxi asked shopkeeper Zhao for today's consultation fee. Because of Mrs. Zhang, she stayed here until now, but she saw several patients and earned more than 20 taels from the consultation fee.
"Mrs. Chen will come tomorrow, what if there are patients who need sutures again?" Shopkeeper Zhao felt that this was not enough. If only she were here every day, then there would be no patients that Renji Hall cannot treat.
Lin Yuxi collected the money and said, "I don't have time. I have to farm, go to the mountains to collect herbs, and cook and wash clothes for my husband and children. I'm too busy."
"This is easy. I can find two women to work for Mrs. Chen."
She can charge hundreds of taels for a difficult-to-treat patient. How much does it cost to treat two women? This shopkeeper Zhao still understands.
Lin Hexi smiled and said, "But I like to do it. If you have seriously ill patients, you can come to me. See you next time."
After saying that, he waved to shopkeeper Zhao and walked away.
Shopkeeper Zhao shook his head and sighed, "Hey, I really don't understand her."
Lin Yuxi just likes to do those trivial chores that she thought were of little value in her previous life, but she enjoys them in this life.
Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, these are the things that make a home.
A spacious, clean place where a nanny can do everything for you. No one else is there except her. That place can only be called a house, not a home.
School was about to be over soon, so Lin Yuxi simply waited for Chen Zhongqian and Xiaoyu in the town, waiting for them to go home together after school.
While waiting, I went to buy some snacks. I didn't go home for a whole day. If Xiaoduo didn't get something to eat, she would probably cry.
Yue Ye went home at night and went to see Dean Yue, "Dad, I know a doctor who might be able to cure grandma's disease."
Dean Yue looked at him in surprise, "Why do you care about your grandma?"
"Dad, what do you mean by this? It sounds like I'm being unfilial. Am I being unfilial? I just want to see you but I can't. Why don't you take me to see grandma?"
Dean Yue snorted, "I haven't seen you a few times."
Yue Ye leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Dad, did grandma raise an old man in the mountains?"
"You bastard, what are you talking about?"
"This is what you told me before, I remember it clearly."
Dean Yue was a little embarrassed and cleared his throat, "It doesn't matter who said it. This is a lie. Stop talking nonsense."
"Then do you think you can take the doctor to treat grandma? I really think it can be cured. We have to give it a try, otherwise she will always be in pain."
Dean Yue said, "I understand your intention, but I have to ask your grandma whether it is possible. I will ask you next time when I go up the mountain."
"Okay." Yue Ye nodded and moved closer, "Dad, have you chosen your direct disciple?"
Dean Yue looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, "What, you want to work hard too?"
"Why am I trying so hard? I am a biological disciple. Is it possible that I am not as good as my direct disciple? I won't take up the quota. I just want to ask, who do you like?"
Dean Yue didn't know that he was asking for Chen Zhongqian, but he would not reveal a word, "Think more about your homework, don't think about these things, next year is the triennial scientific examination, this time you have to
Take the exam well."
"I know." Yue Ye curled his lips. As the dean's son, he really couldn't get any information. This background was unreliable at all, so it would be embarrassing not to tell him.
…
A few days later, Manager Wang went to Chen's house again. It should be enough to think about it for a few days. If he didn't like it, just forget it. It would waste his time.
When Mrs. Wu saw him coming, she hurriedly welcomed him into the house and said, "Manager Wang, you are here. I will call my old man home right now."
She didn't want to make a trip, so she asked Chen Xiuyun to call. Chen Xiuyun looked at Manager Wang several times, nodded and went out.
Manager Wang said, "The more I look at your granddaughter, the more she looks like her. She is lucky to look like my second wife who passed away. The second master has to cherish her just because of her face."
"Yes, yes, I think so too. I don't have any objections to this matter. It's just that my old man is a little hesitant. After all, our Zhongda is studying. There is a girl who is a concubine and her reputation is not very good. Take a look.
Can I be a step-sister?"
Mrs. Wu also wanted to find a solution from the Wei family. If possible, there would be nothing wrong with being a stepmother. After all, she was the wife of the principal wife.
If they were step-brothers, Chen Mingyi wouldn't have to worry about it. It's really the best of both worlds.
Manager Wang made no secret of his contemptuous attitude and curled his lips, "Stepmother? Do you think the younger brother of Wei Yuan will not be able to marry a stepmother? You have to find one from the countryside. Then you don't want to find one at all."
"And the young lady who has not yet left the court wants to marry the second master. Do you think she is not as noble as your granddaughter? Why can your daughter be a stepmother? She has already cultivated in her previous life to be able to join the Wei family as a concubine.
blessing."
Mrs. Wu was a little upset by these words and said to herself, "I want my granddaughter to join the Wei family, but you also have to rely on my granddaughter to get benefits. She will still be the master in the future. Why are you so awesome?"
But she was afraid that things would go wrong, so she didn't show it. She just smiled and waited for Chen Mingyi to come back.
Chen Mingyi came back soon, and Mrs. Wu rushed Chen Xiuyun to cook and did not let her listen in the upper room.
After a while, Chen Hongchang and Yang came back, and they went to the upper room together. They could only hear laughter in the upper room, as if they were talking about a happy event.
Chen Xiuyun sighed, it was indeed a happy event for them, but what about her? Does she really want to be someone's concubine?
When Manager Wang left, he was smiling and gave Chen Xiuyun a meaningful look. It was obvious that the matter was done.
Chen Xiuyun went to the upper room after a while, and the conversation stopped abruptly.
Yang said, "Xiuyun, it's time to tell you this. Your grandparents have found a good marriage for you."
In an instant, Chen Xiuyun felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She wanted to be a concubine, and her grandfather had already agreed.
"Didn't Grandpa say that he would wait for my brother to pass the examination before finding a match for me? Then I would marry someone who would be helpful to my brother." She had no choice but to move Chen Zhongda out.
Yang slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, this is it. It's great. My daughter, you are really lucky."
