Zhang Zheng looked in the direction of Shen Zhixue, "It's getting better, but the next adjustment is also very important. The daily diet needs to be light, don't be exposed to the wind, don't catch a cold, don't be tired, if possible, use proper support to move around, Please enlighten me more.”
My mother fell ill because of the death of her third brother. Can she get better quickly if she needs more guidance?
Shen Zhixue looked at Zhang Zheng, "Doctor, I heard that my mother's condition can be relieved by bloodletting. Is it effective?"
Zhang Zheng shook his head, "If it is caused by fever, bloodletting will certainly be useful, but your mother's illness is caused by cold. Bloodletting will only aggravate the condition. Treatment methods vary from person to person, so don't follow the trend."
Shen Zhixue looked frightened and said hurriedly, "Thank you doctor for the advice, otherwise Zhixue would have made a big mistake."
Zhang Zheng stood up and looked at Mrs. Shen's somewhat sad expression, "Next, you can take your mother to the nearby Zhuangzi to recuperate, raise flowers, play with the birds, and relax, which will help her recovery. Continue to stay here. I only see things and miss people.”
After saying that, he left the follow-up matters to Chu Yue and left the room.
After Chu Yue finished acupuncture on Mrs. Shen, Shen Zhixue stepped forward and asked, "I wonder how far away Miss Chu's home is from the Luojiagou area?"
"It's much closer than the town. Miss Shen, do you want to take Mrs. Shen to Zhuangzi over there for recuperation?"
Shen Zhixue nodded, "My mother has a village over Luojiagou. There is also a natural spring on the village. Now that it is getting colder today, it is perfect to go there to recuperate."
"In Mrs. Shen's situation, it would be good to take more baths in the hot springs. I wonder when Miss Shen will take Mrs. Shen there?"
Shen Zhixue thought for a while and said, "Let's pack up and leave later. Since staying here is not good for my mother's condition, it's better to leave earlier."
"Okay, then I will go to Zhuangzi in Luojiagou tomorrow to perform acupuncture on Mrs. Shen."
After Chu Yue finished speaking, she packed her things and left Shen Mansion with Zhang Zheng. When she came out, Lu Xinghe's mule cart was guarding the door of Shen Mansion.
…
When she got home, Chu Yue started to fetch water from the well. The newly sown vegetable seeds at the old house had begun to sprout. Because the weather was not as hot as before, the water on the ground did not evaporate as fast. Water once a day.
Lu Xinghe unloaded the mule cart, tied the four buckets of water that Chu Yue had brought to the mule, and went to the old house with her.
When I returned home after watering, there was already smoke rising over the kitchen.
Chu Yue hurriedly went to the kitchen to help, while Lu Xinghe tied the mule to the pig pen and fed it some feed. When he turned around and came out, he saw Lu Dagui standing at the door of the courtyard looking inside.
"What's up?"
Lu Dagui scratched his head in embarrassment, "Xinghe, can I discuss something with you?"
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Xinghe walked to the door of the courtyard and said, "Let's talk."
"I owed you two taels of silver before. I paid one tael when I helped out. Can the rest be paid in the fields?" As if he was afraid that Lu Xinghe would disagree, Lu Dagui said hurriedly, "You also know the situation of my family, so let me pay it back." I really can’t come up with money for a while, and now that my family has a lot of money to eat, I’m really desperate, so I thought of giving the land to you, so that I can get some money to make ends meet.”
If anyone in the village could still afford to buy a piece of land now, he could only think of Lu Xinghe.
The son has already been hungry for two meals. If he still doesn't find a way to get some money to buy rice, the father and son may not be able to survive this year.
Lu Xinghe's expression did not change.
“Which field do you want to sell?”
Lu Dagui said hurriedly, "The field next to yours is a medium-sized field that my parents assigned to me when we separated. You often run there, so you should know that the soil in that field is still very good. There is a total of one acre of farmland there. If you are willing, I can give it to you at a cheaper price, half selling it and half paying it back."
Lu Xinghe thought for a moment, then shouted in the direction of the kitchen, "Yueyue, come here."
"Hey, here we come." Chu Yue, who was cooking, handed the spatula to Yun Cuihe and ran out of the house, "Brother Dagui is here."
Lu Dagui hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm here to ask your family if they want to buy a piece of land next to your house. I want to sell it to pay off your family's debt and make some money to make ends meet."
Chu Yue glanced in the direction of Lu Xinghe, then returned her gaze to Lu Dagui, "I wonder how much money Dagui brother wants to sell it for?"
Originally, she had planned to take advantage of the low prices to stock up on more fields during the bad years. Now that Lu Dagui has taken the initiative to ask, it would be best if the fields she sells are close to her own.
"We usually sell fields. Medium paddy fields are about seven taels of silver per acre. I'll give you six taels. A five-acre field is a total of nine taels. After deducting one tael of debt, just give me eight taels of silver."
Chu Yue thought for a while, then looked at Lu Dagui, "To be honest, brother Dagui, I originally wanted to take advantage of the bad harvest to collect some land at a low price and plant it, but in this world, one acre of medium-sized paddy fields costs six taels of silver. , the price is indeed not low, if you can get five taels of silver, I can consider it, but I can also promise Brother Dagui that if I can get the silver to redeem Tian, I can give it to you at the same price."
She knew that the situation at Lu Dagui's family was not good, but her money did not come from the strong wind. With the current market situation, the paddy fields were only worth this price. She was able to make this promise out of the sake of being in the same village.
After hearing this, Lu Dagui was silent for a long time before finally making up his mind, "Okay, then five taels and one acre."
After all, we can still pay the same price in the future. When we have money, we can redeem the fields.
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Brother Dagui, have you had your meal?"
Lu Dagui said with some embarrassment, "The family is out of food, and we are still waiting for money to buy food."
After hearing this, Chu Yue hurriedly ran to the house and scooped out a bowl of brown rice for Lu Dagui, "I don't have much food left at home. Brother Dagui, let's go back and cook something to eat first. Tiedan is still small, so we can't be hungry. We'll eat it later." After dinner, let’s go to Li Zheng’s house to handle the transfer of ownership.”
Lu Dagui took the brown rice from Chu Yue's hand and bowed to her with emotion on his face, "Thank you very much. When the time comes to buy the rice, I will return it to you."
After saying that, he turned around with red eyes and went home to cook porridge for his son.
Looking at Lu Dagui's back, Chu Yue sighed with emotion, "He seems to have really changed since what happened last time."
Lu Xinghe hummed, "It has indeed gotten better recently, but even so, the bad things he did in the past are still facts. Everyone has to take responsibility for the wrong things they have done in the past. Although Tiedan is pitiful, Lu Dagui does not deserve sympathy. "
Chu Yue nodded and went back to the kitchen.
After eating and tidying up the house, Chu Yue took the money and walked to Li Zheng's house with Lu Xinghe.
When they passed Lu Dagui's house, they saw him squatting at the door waiting for them.
The three of them arrived at Li Zheng's house together. After explaining their intention, Lu Xinghe wrote a new land deed under the witness of Li Zheng. After both parties signed and pledged their signatures on the land deed, Chu Yue handed over the land deed that had been prepared. Sixty-five cents of silver was handed over to Lu Dagui.
Li Zheng was holding the field deed in his hand, "It's done, the sale is over. This field deed will be sent to you after I go to the government to report it and stamp it. There have been many people selling their fields recently."
Chu Yue nodded, "Then there is Lao Lizheng."
Lu Jianqi waved his hand, "You can go back first to take care of my duties."
