The next day, February 14th, after reporting to the local officials, Chu Yue and Lu Yufang got on the carriage back to Nanping Town.
The two of them sat in the carriage, lifting the curtains from time to time to look out, feeling as if they were returning home.
In front of the carriage, Jiang Wan was sitting on one side driving the carriage, while Kuroki was sitting on the other side.
He seemed to have an aura of keeping strangers away from him wherever he went. Although Jiang Wan was cheerful, he didn't dare to say a word to him at all, as if he would lose his head if he said a word to him.
Since the incident on the way to Wuxi Town, no killer has appeared again. Although Chu Yue didn't understand the reason, she could guess the whole story.
Xianggong was able to bring Heimu from the capital, so he must have made some arrangements.
Finally returning to Nanping Town, Chu Yue asked Jiang You to park the carriage in front of her house because it was almost noon.
Although Lu Yufang had been following Chu Yue to the town, this was the first time for Lu Yufang to come to the yard she bought. Looking at the grand yard in front of her, she opened her mouth slightly in surprise.
Chu Yue jumped off the carriage and looked at Jiang Wan sitting in front.
"Master Jiang, don't rush back to the county seat. Fill your stomach first and then go back."
After a bumpy morning on the road, Jiang Wan was indeed hungry. It was expensive to eat outside now, so he nodded in agreement.
Chu Yue crossed Lu Yufang, stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was Yun Cuihe. When he saw Chu Yue at the door, he looked surprised and hurriedly pulled her to look at her, "Yueyue is back. Are you okay outside?"
Chu Yue did not dare to tell Yun Cuihe about those thrilling things, fearing to frighten her.
"Mom, I'm fine." She said, pointing to Heimu and Jiang You who were standing aside to introduce her, "Mom, this is Master Jiang. He has been responsible for our travel during this disaster relief. This is Heimu. My husband found me... a helper."
Hearing the word helper, Kuroki's expressionless face finally showed a strange fluctuation.
Yun Cuihe held Chu Yue's hand and thanked the two people in front of her.
"Thank you both for taking care of our Yueyue and Yufang during this period. Please come in quickly. I just came back from the hospital and was preparing to cook for the children. You came at the right time."
Several people entered the house together.
Lu Yufang followed Yun Cuihe towards the kitchen, "Third Aunt, let me help you."
Chu Yue looked at the three children aside. They had not seen each other for more than a month, and they seemed to have grown taller.
"Xingping, take Master Jiang to the stables and feed the horses some food. Master Jiang can go on his way in the afternoon."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
Lu Xingping was smart and hurriedly led Jiang Wan to the backyard.
As for Kuroki, he has a withdrawn temperament. After entering the yard, he found a corner to guard himself.
Chu Yue smiled and patted Lu Xing'an on the shoulder, then squatted down in front of Chu Wenzhu, and gently pinched the little girl's fleshy face.
"Xiaozhu, do you miss your sister?"
Chu Wenzhu said nothing, but took a step forward and hugged Chu Yue.
"Xiaozhu is very happy that my sister can come back safely."
Chu Yue was a little moved in her heart, patted her back and said, "Didn't Xiaozhu say that she would wait for her at home? Of course she will come back."
After talking to Chu Wenzhu and letting her go to the house to play for a while, Chu Yue also went to the kitchen.
"Mom, how's it going at the hospital?"
Yun Cuihe stopped what she was doing and said, "Recently, the Huichun Hall has launched a free clinic. Two or three doctors take turns treating poor people at the door. There is no medical fee and the medicine is paid for by yourself. It has taken away a lot of our business. I see that you are not here, and I have no idea, so I can only maintain the status quo."
Chu Yue nodded.
"We don't need to follow the trend. Working hard to build our own reputation is better than anything else."
"Yes, you have to have good medical skills to open a medical clinic. You have made a great contribution to the epidemic during this period. It is enough to show your kindness."
Chu Yue nodded, as if she had thought of something, and looked up at Yun Cuihe, "By the way, mother, my uncle and uncle may be here in two days."
Yun Cuihe was shocked, fearing that she would hear some bad news.
"You went to the sake village?"
Chu Yue nodded, "Grandma had difficulty moving, so I went to take a look. The problem is not big. She should be almost recovered now."
Yun Cuihe breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your uncle and uncle are not at home to take care of grandma. Why do you come to our place?"
Chu Yue cut off a piece of deer meat hanging on the wall and scraped the black ash from it while answering Yun Cuihe.
"This time I went to the county town and got a village. It just so happened that my uncle and uncle were worried because they had nothing to do, so I asked my uncle and uncle to help me take care of it. I will start with the wages of formal workers. If there are fields nearby, I can buy them together. They can just be stewards."
After all, he was her biological brother who had treated her very well since childhood. Yun Cuihe naturally wished that they could be good to each other, and was very touched by Chu Yue's arrangement.
If it weren't for myself, I'm afraid my brothers from my mother's side wouldn't be able to enjoy such benefits.
"You can arrange this, but our fields must also be arranged. After this month, the weather will gradually warm up, and we will start to plow the fields and soak the seeds."
Chu Yue poured some hot water from the wengzi into the basin, put the scraped venison in the basin and washed it with loofah pulp.
"I talked about this with my husband before. Let's contract out the scattered fields. Later, I will ask Brother Dagui to go to the village and ask. If there is someone to contract, we can contract it out to people in the village. It will be convenient to collect rent then."
Yun Cuihe nodded, "Okay, our village has enough food."
Listening to the conversation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Lu Yufang, who was lighting the fire behind the stove, had admiration on her face. Chu Yue was not only good at medicine, but she was also able to arrange things at home in such an orderly manner. She was really amazing.
Chu Yue placed the cleaned venison on the chopping board of the stove and looked at Lu Yufang behind the stove.
"Yufang, I will pay you the wages for the past two months later. I will give you a holiday today. You can go back and have a good rest for a long time. When you go to the hospital tomorrow, you can pay the bills for more than a month first. By the way, let’s count the medicinal materials that need to be purchased.”
Lu Yufang nodded hurriedly.
"good."
At noon, there was rice porridge, a few hot whole-grain pancakes, a bowl of sweet and sour radish, and a portion of braised venison with green onions, which was full of aroma.
After a few people filled their stomachs, Jiang Wan drove the carriage back to the county town.
Chu Yue paid Lu Yufang her wages for the first and second months, a total of 1,800 yuan, and asked Hei Mu to escort her home.
Yun Cuihe looked at Chu Yue.
"Yueyue, what's the origin of that black wood? It looks weird and scary."
Chu Yue shook her head, "I don't know where he came from, but since he was brought by my husband, he should be fine. Let's keep him at home for the time being. After all, the two rooms in our backyard have been renovated, so there is just enough room for one. Give him some room."
Her husband was not at home, and she felt relieved that there was someone with high kung fu skills watching her at home.
