When they arrived at the town, the two of them went about their own business. They agreed on a time and place to meet. There would be other oxcarts coming back, so it would be good to take a short walk.
Lin Yuxi carried some mushrooms picked yesterday in a basket. If he wanted to eat them, he went to the mountains to pick them. These were sold first.
The market was crowded, and Lin Yuxi had no intention of setting up a stall. He put down his basket and started selling, "Mushrooms, fresh mushrooms, sold cheaply."
Mushrooms are a good thing. They are sold in grocery stores. They are dried and the price is not cheap.
After shouting for a few times, people gathered around her, "Girl, you picked these mushrooms in the mountains? There are poisonous mushrooms in the mountains. Are your mushrooms not poisonous?"
Lin Hexi smiled and said, "Auntie, there is Renji Hall in front of you. If you are not worried, you can go to Jirentang and ask the doctor. These are the only two types of mushrooms I sell. I also need everyone to testify. If you bought them from elsewhere,
I’m not responsible for it being poisonous.”
Selling mushrooms is naturally risky, so although Lin Yuxi picked a lot, he only chose the two most common ones, which many people have eaten.
Selling in front of so many people requires someone to stumble and someone to testify.
They were indeed two common mushrooms, and Lin Joy sold them cheaply, so he quickly sold all the small half-back baskets for nearly 200 copper coins.
The focus today is to buy medicine. She has already made a preliminary plan for Chen Zhongqian's treatment, and she already knows what medicines are needed.
Renjitang is the largest pharmacy in town, but there are two kinds of medicinal materials that they don't have here, and those two medicinal materials are quite important.
"Girl, you are really being embarrassed. This is just fine Sichuan clams. Maybe some goods will be available soon, but this otter liver is hard to come by."
Otter liver is very effective in treating chronic coughs. When combined with high-quality Sichuan clams for long-term treatment, even stubborn coughs can be cured.
Lin Yuxi guessed that there were none here, so she bought other medicinal materials, and went to buy the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar she needed at home. She couldn't pack them today, and she would have to buy pots and pans the next day. The ones at home were too old, and she liked them to look good.
tableware.
Finally, when he walked outside the cloth shop, he saw Mr. Wang inside. Lin Yuxi walked in with a smile and picked out a few fabrics for herself.
I just thought buying cloth was interesting, but after I paid the money, I suddenly realized a problem, "I don't know how to make clothes."
Mrs. Wang was amused by her talking to herself, "Okay, when I finish making the summer shirt at home, I will make it for you."
Lin Yuxi smiled and agreed, Wang is really a nice person and can be dealt with, so she can just calculate her wages when the time comes.
They get things done early, so they go back early. The driver is specialized in this job. He only makes one trip when the crowd is almost there, and each person gets two coins. He will have to pull the bus again later.
They got off the car a mile away from the village, and the two of them walked together. Wang said, "Xie Xie, I really admire you, you really separated us like that."
Lin Joy said, "What is there to admire?"
"You have some backbone. I think you've changed a lot. This time, I've pushed you to the edge. They won't dare to do anything if you really mention dividing the family. It's better for you as a family of four to live together. Good or bad life is yours.
.”
Lin Hexi lowered her eyes, thinking about the old Lin Hexi, wondering if she had any thoughts of breaking up the family.
If so, why hasn't it been mentioned?
Maybe if you have a stronger temper, you don't have to lose your life.
If you are too weak, you will be bullied. This has been the case since ancient times.
"Zhong Qian's illness will definitely be cured soon, don't worry." Wang comforted her.
Lin Yuxi came to his senses, "Aren't you afraid that he has tuberculosis?"
"Doctor Zhuang said no, it's just an incurable lung disease, not tuberculosis."
Lin Joy recalled that the original owner did not have this incident in his memory, "How did you know?"
Mrs. Wang said, "When my mother-in-law took me to see a doctor at Renji Hall, what Dr. Zhuang said that Zhong Qian did not have tuberculosis was all nonsense made by the black-hearted doctor."
Lin Yuxi didn't say anything. Wang said with some guilt, "I'm sorry Xixi, even if my mother-in-law and I heard what Dr. Zhuang said, we didn't clarify it for Zhong Qian because we didn't know who would believe it."
Lin Yuxi did not blame them, but smiled and said, "Zhong Qian will be fine. I will cure his illness. We will see what happens when the time comes."
Doctors from Renji Hall had the most expensive consultation fees. The Chen family did not want to hire a doctor from Renji Hall, so they hired a black-hearted man from somewhere. He spread the word that he had tuberculosis. From then on, Chen Zhongqian couldn't get rid of it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Or maybe, this misdiagnosis is what the Chen family wants.
Wang's eyes were bright, "You know how to treat diseases?"
"It's not a cure, but I learned some folk remedies from my father, who used to know some medical skills."
Wang's eyes brightened even more, "Then can you let me have a baby?"
Lin Yuxi vomited blood.
Huaiwa, are you looking for me? Go look for your husband-in-law!
Wang didn't feel there was anything wrong with her words, as if she saw hope, "I just want to give birth to a baby for the Li family. Can you treat me?"
There are three generations of the Li family. Li Li is the only one in this generation. He has been married to the Wang family for five years and there has been no news. This has caused a lot of gossip.
It’s not that I’ve never been pregnant before, but I lost it within three months. I was pregnant twice in total, which makes me feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.
Li Li and Liu both treated Wang well and did not blame her. However, the more this happened, the more she blamed herself and dreamed of giving birth to a baby for her husband.
Lin Yuxi stopped and briefly felt her pulse, then pondered for a moment, "Has your husband seen a doctor?"
Mrs. Wang immediately blushed, "He is a man. Why should a man see a doctor? Wouldn't it cost him his life?"
Lin Joy tilted his head and looked at her, "What if it's his problem?"
"No, it's impossible. My husband-in-law is very strong. I...I've been pregnant twice." Wang's face turned red. She was so embarrassed to say such a thing in broad daylight.
As he spoke, he had already arrived in the village. Lin Xixi said with a smile, "If you are not worried that Zhong Qian has tuberculosis, come and sit at home when you have time. If I have a way, I will definitely take care of your health."
Wang's eyes were bright and she nodded like garlic, "Yeah, yeah, I'm not worried, I'm definitely not worried, Joy, you're so kind."
In the past, Lin Hexi had a timid temperament, had to do endless work all day long, and had few opportunities to talk to Mr. Wang alone.
I just found out today that Mr. Wang is quite interesting.
Lin Yuxi walked home briskly with a basket on her back. When she got here, she also wanted to make friends, and Mrs. Wang was her friend.
Before I got home, I heard people who had returned from work in the mountains talking about something.
"It sounds like a wolf, but also like a tiger."
"Hey, why don't I think it's like a dog barking?"
"No way, how big of a dog can make that kind of noise?"
When he saw Lin Hexi, a person in front of him reminded him, "Hexi, your family lives at the foot of the mountain, so be careful. There were wolves howling in the mountains today, and many people heard it."
Lin Joy nodded and thanked her, but thought to herself, I fought with the wolf, so that's okay.
