Han Caiwei was guarding Wu Tou and talking to him when she heard someone shouting and running, "Wutou, don't be afraid, mother is here!" Mrs. Wang cried heartbreakingly and ran over, with stains on her body. Her knees were bruised and she must have fallen. Behind her was a man in his forties, carrying a medicine box in his hand and a bag on his back.
Seeing Wu Tou flying towards her, Han Caiwei hugged her and said, "Mom, be careful. Wu Tou fell, so it's hard to touch him." Mrs. Wang glanced at her son, she was so distressed that she shed tears, and turned around. He came and begged the man: "Mr. Jia, please show Wutou quickly."
Jia Langzhong bent down, lowered his head to examine it carefully, and asked where the aconite hurt and where it didn't. Finally, he concluded that it was a fracture.
"Daughter-in-law, please relax. Your Aconitum is nothing serious. It's because he is young and his bones are soft. If you are an adult, if you fall, you will be paralyzed in bed for the rest of your life." Jia Langzhong knew. The patient had fallen. He had put bamboo pieces in his bag when he came. He took it out now, fixed the injured leg with Aconitum, wrapped it three times with a rope, and said to Wang, "I'll give Aconitum Prescribe five doses of pain-relieving decoction, plus twenty doses of Siwu decoction, and let him lie in bed for three months, and he will be full of energy again."
When she heard that her son was fine, Mrs. Wang was relieved and thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you, Mr. Jia, for being successful. Please keep prescribing medicine."
"I don't want the doctor's fee for the villagers. Chenghui is ten taels of silver." Knowing that Han Dalang's family was in trouble, Jia Langzhong took the initiative to take advantage of it.
Mrs. Wang took a breath when she heard that she was asked for ten taels of silver. Da Ya sold herself for eight taels of silver, and after paying off her debt, she still had more than three taels of silver left. Adding in the money that Han Dalang had earned in recent days, the family had a full of four taels of silver.
Being poor and short of breath, Mrs. Wang dwarfed her body and said with pleading in her tone, "Mr. Jia, my family really can't afford this much silver. I owe you six taels of silver on credit. Do you like it?"
Jia Langzhong sighed, "Young man's daughter-in-law, you don't know me when you lower your head and look up. Normally, if you open your mouth and reply, you owe two or three hundred dollars. I can still afford it, but six taels of silver is not a small amount, and I can't owe it on credit." I'm really sorry." Looking at the pitiful looks of Wang and Wutou, Jia Langzhong shook his head and gritted his teeth, "I will give you another half liang, nine liang and a half, no more."
Buying medicinal materials also requires capital, and the doctor also needs to make a living. Wang has no choice but to say: "You should prescribe the pain relief soup first! I will prescribe the Siwu Decoction after my master weighs the money."
Erdanzi Niang removed a door panel and came over, and several people worked together to carry Wutou back to Han's house.
After placing the Aconitum, Mrs. Wang said to Han Caiwei: "Zhao Di, look at the Aconitum. Mom, go to the village chief's house." She asked the village chief to help sell the land so that she could get medicine for the Aconitum. Wang went there in a hurry .
Zhaodi fed Wutou a bowl of clear spring water. Wutou broke out in cold sweat, his lips were blue, and he clenched his teeth. It was obviously in pain, but he was sensible and did not cry at all. He rested his head on the pillow and looked at Han Caiwei. , "Second sister, you just said that if Aconitum doesn't move, you can make delicious food for me. Aconitum wants to eat it. Second sister, don't forget it." Yes! Don’t forget to eat even if it hurts like this!
Han Caiwei touched his head lovingly and said, "Second sister, I haven't forgotten. When mother comes back, second sister will do it for you."
Xiao Douding smiled shyly, "Second sister, you are so kind!" Han Caiwei couldn't help but feel sore in her heart. Xiao Wutou was only five years old and had never eaten anything delicious. During this period, she was even more hungry and skinny.
She sighed. This time the bones were reattached. If he didn't take good care of himself, he might be permanently disabled. Even if he wasn't disabled, he wouldn't be able to do heavy work in the future. How cruel it was to him. He was still so young. , so cute, taking care of herself every day, calling her second sister in front of her and behind her.
Han Caiwei thought for a while and realized that her mother's plan to sell the land would probably not work. In times like this, only a fool would buy the land.
If there is really no other way, I can only learn to sell myself like the eldest sister, but the eldest sister is ten years old and looks likeable. I, a little bean sprout, can only be said to be above average in appearance. Less than eight taels of silver and twenty pounds of brown rice.
Sure enough, just as Han Caiwei expected, Wang came back in despair, sitting next to Wu Tou and wiping her tears. Little Wutou sensibly took his mother's hand and said to her: "Mom, please stop crying. Wutou doesn't hurt. Second sister, my mother is back."
Seeing such a scene, Han Caiwei felt sad and said to Mrs. Wang: "Mom, you guard Wu Tou, and I'll make him something to eat." Mrs. Wang was just sad and didn't hear clearly what Zhaodi was saying, so she nodded. Said: "Well, you go ahead!"
Han Caiwei went to the outhouse and dug out the oil jar. There was still lard in the bottom of the jar. The family had been saving salt, and there was still half a jar of salt in the salt jar.
When the cabbage was planted in the space, the half of the cabbage leaf that was broken off was still fresh and tender, unchanged at all. Han Caiwei took it out, cut it into thin strips, started the pot on fire, and put a small spoonful of lard into the pot. After the lard melts, add shredded cabbage and stir-fry for a few times, then add soup and salt, and finally grab two handfuls of corn noodles and put them in to make a small pot of cabbage and corn batter.
Caiwei made the paste and went into the house and said to Mrs. Wang, "Mom, you feed the aconite. I'll go to Jia Langzhong's house to get the medicine. Please give me some money."
Mrs. Wang opened the cabinet door, clicked on the corner of the cabinet a few times, and finally took out a piece of silver. "Here are two and a half. You ask Jia Langzhong to prescribe some pain-relieving soup first." Han Caiwei nodded, took the silver, and turned around. The man in the outer room took the cornstarch batter and handed it to Wang, asking her to feed the aconite.
We have more than a kilogram of corn noodles at home, but where did this cabbage come from? Mrs. Wang was thinking in her mind and asked, "Zhao Di! Where did the cabbage come from?"
"I borrowed it!" Which house in the village still had cabbage? Before Wang could ask, Han Caiwei had already walked out of the room.
Instead of going to Jia Langzhong's house in the village, she ran all the way to Mrs. Qian's house in the next village. She ran to the door and wandered for a while. Finally, she stomped her feet and made up her mind to walk into the yard of Mrs. Qian's house. She heard the first burst of sound in the house. "Hey!" someone was crying in a low voice.
He met a man in gray linen clothes, stooped and walking out of the yard, with a happy face and counting the money in his hands as he walked.
Han Caiwei entered the house from outside the door and saw a little girl kneeling on the ground crying.
Mother-in-law Qian was comforting her in a soft voice, "Chuncao, don't cry. It's so good to be at your uncle's house. There's nothing to eat or drink, and you have to be beaten the next day. Mother-in-law's business this time is that she is a loyal and brave person in the capital." In the Marquis' Mansion, it's better to enjoy the popular food and drink spicy food there than to endure hunger and beatings at your uncle's house."
Seeing Zhao Di coming in, she greeted her and said, "Little girl, why are you here alone? If you want to sell yourself, you must be brought here by an adult."
Han Caiwei bit her lip, knelt down to Mrs. Qian, and kowtowed to her, "Mother-in-law, I am Zhaodi from Han Dalang's family. My brother Wutou fell from the tree and broke his leg. I am in a hurry to use the money." To save my life, I will sacrifice myself to save my brother."
Mrs. Qian looked at the little girl in front of her and thought to herself, Han Daya had just been sent away two months ago, and now another Han Zhaodi has arrived, both from Han Dalang's family. What kind of bad luck happened to the old Han family.
Seeing Mrs. Qian frowning, Han Caiwei was afraid that she wouldn't want to buy one for herself, so she hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law, don't look at my young age. I can do any kind of work. I can do anything on the stove or outside the house, and I can also do needlework."
I have seen parents selling their daughters and desperately begging for mercy, like Han Caiwei. Mrs. Qian has seen two people in her life for most of her life, and the other one is her sister Han Daya.
Poor Mrs. Qian touched her head and said to her: "Zhao Di, you came to the door alone, your parents don't know, the last time I signed your eldest sister, I felt very guilty. If I sign you privately again, your parents won’t be able to dig up our family’s grave?”
Hearing her refusal, Han Caiwei bit her lip and kowtowed, "Mother-in-law, you can't do that. The family really can't support it. Without money, my family has to hold on to the black hair. My parents are not willing to sell me. My brother has cured his leg and will redeem me when his life is better."
Mrs. Qian had poisonous eyes. She looked at Han Cai a few more times and was satisfied. The Han sisters were all good-looking, with fair skin and big eyes. After taking care of them, they would be beautiful women in the future, not to mention be steady and sensible. He is filial, affectionate and righteous, and is a good seedling.
