Chu Yue looked in the direction of Lu Xinghe, intending to ask him who this Shen family was.
The next moment, Xu Heng was heard speaking, "Does Butler Li still recognize me?"
The man who was called Butler Li looked in the direction of Xu Heng, then glanced at the carriage behind the three of them, and then clasped his fists, "My eyes are so stupid, I didn't realize it was Mr. Xu just now."
Xu Heng's face was full of humility, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The girl in the car is my friend's sister. I wonder if Butler Li can return her to us. We are willing to pay for it."
"It's not a matter of money." Butler Li looked worried, "My young master is about to be buried, and there is no time to look for another qualified girl. This little girl will not be able to survive after all, so why don't you bring her with you?" Why are you going back? You can marry my young master anyway, and you can still get some money."
Five taels of silver is considered a considerable amount of wealth in a farm family.
Lu Xinghe bowed to Butler Li, "How much will it cost to redeem her? Please give Butler Li a price."
"I didn't mean..."
Chu Yue spoke at the right time, "Steward Li, my parents may not have told you yet. My sister's illness was originally caused by a cough, but now it is very likely to turn into tuberculosis. If you must take her away, If so, I'm not sure you will all be safe in the end, Butler Li should know how contagious tuberculosis is."
No one is willing to risk their lives. Although Chu Yue is not sure how bad Xiao Tao's condition is, if she doesn't scare these people, they will definitely not return Xiao Tao to her so easily.
Hearing Chu Yue's words, the atmosphere suddenly froze. At this moment, two weak coughs came from the carriage. The shocked Butler Li hurriedly took a few steps away from the carriage.
This disease can be fatal!
The girl who was selling the girl was so dishonest that she sold her daughter who was suffering from consumption to them.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Chu Yue shook her head, "I'm not sure. My relationship with my mother's family has never been good, and I only just found out that my sister is sick. But it's true that her cough has been lingering for a long time and is so serious. If Butler Li doesn't want to take this risk, I'm willing to pay twice as much money to buy my sister, how about that?"
Twice the silver, that is, twelve taels.
Rather than risking tuberculosis, he would rather spend more time looking for a suitable girl.
Butler Li looked in the direction of the carriage with a struggling expression, and finally nodded, "Sure, I also think this girl is too young and not suitable. Please take her away quickly."
"Thank you, Butler Li, thank you!"
Chu Yue bowed in the direction of Butler Li with red eyes. After taking out ten taels of silver from her purse and handing it to him, she immediately picked up Xiao Tao from the carriage.
Looking at the pale face and skinny appearance of the little girl in her arms, Chu Yue's heart ached, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Xiao Tao, can you hear what sister said? Sister is here to pick you up. Home."
As if hearing Chu Yue's voice, the little girl's dry lips moved slightly, but she could not speak. She seemed to feel aggrieved, her eyelashes trembled, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing Xiao Tao's reaction, Chu Yue wiped the tears from her eyes and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, sister will take Xiao Tao for treatment now. Xiao Tao will definitely get better."
When Butler Li saw Chu Yue holding Xiao Tao, he immediately jumped on the carriage and asked the driver to drive the carriage away.
Seeing this, Xu Heng said hurriedly, "Hurry up and get in the carriage. I will take you to the town to find the doctor."
After hearing this, Chu Yue nodded slightly towards Xu Heng, "There is no need to find a doctor. Could you please Mr. Xu take us back to Banpo Village?"
Xu Heng looked surprised, pointed at Chu Xiaotao in Chu Yue's arms and said, "She is so seriously ill, why don't you ask a doctor to treat her?"
"I have a doctor in my family," Chu Yue said, "and I am also a doctor myself."
She trusts Master more than Dr. Zhu.
Xu Heng was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head. He didn't expect that Brother Lu's little wife actually knew medicine. "Then what are you waiting for? Get in the carriage quickly and I will take you home."
The three of them quickly jumped on the carriage and rushed towards Banpo Village.
The carriage moved very quickly and arrived at the entrance of Banpo Village in less than half an hour. The carriage did not stop and drove up the mountain road to the yard of Lu Xinghe's house.
The people in the old house opened their mouths in surprise when they saw Lu Xinghe driving towards their home in a carriage.
Lu Tiesheng looked at Wang Xuelan, who was washing rice and preparing for dinner, "Old lady, leave the cooking to the fourth daughter-in-law. You go up the mountain and take a look to see what distinguished guests are coming to the third daughter-in-law's house."
"Hey, I'll go right away."
Wang Xuelan stood up and wiped her hands on her waist, then pulled off her waist, straightened her hair and clothes, and went up the mountain.
…
As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, Lu Xinghe jumped out of the carriage.
"Mom, we are back."
Yun Cuihe heard the sound and hurried forward to open the courtyard door. She looked at the majestic carriage in front of her with a little surprise in her heart.
"Why did you come back in a carriage?"
Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan, who heard the noise, also ran over quickly. They had not seen the carriage yet.
When I saw it for the first time, I was very surprised. I looked around the carriage and looked up and down.
The next moment, Chu Yue got out of the carriage holding Xiao Tao. Lu Xinghe reached out to take Xiao Tao from her hand and went to look for Zhang Zheng in the house.
Xu Heng also got off the carriage and looked at the blue brick house in front of him with surprise in his heart.
Originally, he thought that Lu Xinghe's family was as poor as Jiang Gaoyi said, but he didn't expect that his family still lived in a brick house.
Sure enough, sometimes what the ears hear may not be true.
After Chu Yue jumped off the carriage, she hurriedly introduced to Yun Cuihe, "Mom, this is the son of Xu Yuan's wife in the town. Thanks to him this time, otherwise we may not be able to recover Xiaotao."
Xu Heng bowed towards Yun Cuihe and said, "Xu Heng has met my aunt."
Yun Cuihe welcomed the person in with a busy smile.
"Master Xu, come in and sit down quickly. Yueyue, go and make a cup of tea for Mr. Xu first."
When it comes to eating, Chu Yue is more sophisticated. There are many ways to brew a cup of tea in her hands. Young master Xu may not necessarily like to drink the tea she brews.
"Why."
Chu Yue responded and went to the kitchen.
She brewed two cups of green plum tea and sent them to Xu Heng and Lu Xinghe in the main room. She also gave the coachman a glass of water, and then went to see Xiao Tao in Zhang Zheng's room.
"Master, how is my sister?"
Zhang Zheng heard Chu Yue's voice, looked in her direction, and gave up his position, "You can also feel the pulse and see if our conclusions are the same."
While Xu Heng was drinking tea in the main room, he occasionally glanced into Zhang Zheng's room.
"I really didn't expect that you actually have a doctor in your family?"
Lu Xinghe hummed, "He is my wife's master. He is just staying at my house temporarily."
"Miss Chu, at such a young age, is she really a doctor?" Xu Heng's face was full of curiosity.
