The weather has only started to get warmer recently, and even if you scatter vegetable seeds, they won't sprout so quickly. I'm afraid everyone is now in the stage of eating stored grains.
Mrs. Huang finally sent two hundred kilograms of rice to her family last year. Now that the family has vegetables, it is natural to send some.
Lu Dagui responded and went out carrying the basket handed over by Chu Yue.
After tidying up the house, Chu Yue and Yun Cuihe went to the medical clinic, accompanied by Xiao Zhu and Tiedan.
After all, I was worried about leaving two children under six years old at home.
When they arrived at the hospital, Lu Yufang had already appeared in the shop, and with her was Xu Heng.
Xu Heng was standing in front of the counter, watching Lu Yufang busy behind the counter.
Chu Yue raised her brows slightly, smiled and joked, "Master Xu has now begun to act as Yufang's flower protector?"
Xu Heng bowed to Chu Yue and Yun Cuihe with some embarrassment.
"Auntie, Miss Chu, I happened to see my uncle taking Yufang to the hospital today, so I volunteered to escort her here."
Yun Cuihe was helping in the workshop yesterday and heard some rumors from Jiang Xiuqin. She didn't find it strange to see the two of them together.
Not to mention that the two were about to get engaged, it didn't matter that they were innocent in broad daylight.
She looked at them with a smile, "I have to go to the backyard to take over Fang's work, so I won't talk to you any more. You young people can chat by yourselves."
After saying that, he went straight to the backyard.
Lu Yufang stood up from behind the counter, with a slight solemn look on her face, "Yueyue, come here."
Chu Yue raised her eyebrows and hurried behind the counter.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yufang pulled Chu Yue down and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It seems like someone has turned over our counter."
As she spoke, she gestured to Chu Yue.
"When I counted the money to you yesterday, these boxes and small cabinets were neatly placed under the counter. I would close every drawer tightly and check it every time before leaving."
Chu Yue nodded, "But what's changed today?"
According to her understanding of Lu Yufang, the money must not have been lost, otherwise she would not be looking like this now.
After all, it was more than thirty taels of silver, so she must be more cautious than herself.
If they lost their money, they would all be crying.
Lu Yufang pointed to some of the drawers.
"Look at these drawers. They are all closed tightly. They have obviously been opened. Look at these two drawers. They are all closed crookedly. There is also this box, which is obviously askew."
"Did you lose something?" Chu Yue asked.
Lu Yufang shook her head, "That's not true."
Chu Yue stood up, her face a little solemn, "Since nothing has been lost, even if someone does come in, there is nothing we can do against them."
Lu Yufang frowned.
"Then what should I do? I didn't lose anything today. What if someone comes again in the future?"
Xu Heng on the side was full of concern when he heard what the two said.
"Is there a thief in the hospital?"
Lu Yufang nodded slightly, "Things have been turned over, but I just checked and it seems like nothing was lost."
While Chu Yue was deep in thought, she unconsciously expressed her thoughts.
"It would be great if my husband was here."
If the husband is here, he will definitely be able to find a solution as soon as possible.
Lu Yufang on the side listened and said with a bit of hatred, "How long has it been and you are still thinking about my brother? Did he fill you with ecstasy soup? What we should consider now is the safety of the medical center."
Otherwise, it would be unsafe to keep money in a medical clinic.
If the cash box hadn't been hidden well, it might have been stolen last night.
Chu Yue twitched her lips, "Aren't I thinking of a solution?"
Lu Yufang simply rolled her eyes and muttered softly.
"I think you are thinking of my brother."
Chu Yue glanced in the direction of Lu Yufang, knowing that she was worried about the safety of the medical center, so she stopped arguing with her, but turned her head elsewhere, thinking carefully about how to handle this matter.
Hearing the conversation between the two little girls in front of him, Xu Heng couldn't help laughing and raised his hand to cover the smile on his lips.
"Why doesn't Miss Chu arrange for two trustworthy people to be on duty at the hospital?"
"It's not that I don't have ideas, it's just that I couldn't find the right person for a while, and I was too busy with things some time ago, so it was delayed."
However, after Xu Heng's reminder, she really felt that she wanted to get a few people back.
"When people come into the medical clinic, they are afraid of losing their money. The most important thing is that they are afraid of people tampering with the medicinal materials." Chu Yue looked at Lu Yufang, "Yufang, please check carefully whether the medicinal materials on the counter and in the Baizi cabinet are normal. , don’t reveal to the outside world that there is a thief in our medical clinic, I will go and arrange other things."
Lu Yufang nodded, "Okay, leave it to me to check the medicinal materials."
Although I don’t know what Chu Yue thought of, but she is so smart, she must have more ideas than her own.
When Chu Yue went out, she called Hei Mu.
She first led Hei Mu to the Yamen. Relying on her current reputation among the people, she greeted the official and reported the matters in the medical clinic. Then she went to Xu Ji Dental Clinic and spent a lot of time. Thirteen taels of silver bought two slaves, a boy and a girl.
The two are husband and wife, both in their twenties. The man's name is Zheng Yuan. He is tall and strong. He once worked as a servant in a military general's family and has some skills. Slaves of his age are actually very popular. Just because he didn't want to be separated from his wife, he moved all the way from the provincial capital Yahang to the county town, and finally ended up in Nanping Town, where he stayed for three full months without being bought.
The woman's name is Yan He, she is petite and delicate, with a slightly bulging belly.
Originally, the price for an adult servant aged 20 to 30 was ten taels of silver, and for a maid, eight taels of silver.
But most people are reluctant to buy a pregnant maid. After all, a woman has to go through hell after giving birth, and no one knows whether something will happen to her after giving birth.
Once something unexpected happens, all the money will be lost.
Because of this, Chu Yue was able to buy Yan He at a low price of three taels of silver.
However, although Yan He was pregnant, she was in good health. Chu Yue felt her pulse before paying.
At least until she gives birth, she can still help with some light work around the house.
After Zheng Yuan learned that the owner who bought the couple was Chu Yue, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them have been without a source of income for almost half a year, and the monthly money they earned before is about to bottom out. Yan He is five or six months pregnant and will give birth soon. A woman’s birth is like passing through the gate of hell, but now she can go. Working at Dr. Chu's house was an opportunity for them.
On the way back, Chu Yue looked at the two of them.
"Since you have been bought by me, you will be my people from now on. Our family is from a peasant family. We are not as noble as the wealthy families, and there are not many rules in the family. We are ordinary people who live a down-to-earth life. As long as we You are diligent and loyal, and if I have a bite to eat from now on, you will not be hungry."
