The busy days passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since I came to this small world.
Xu Yin took out the body fat scale and weighed herself. It was fine! After a month of continuous medicinal bathing, I lost more than 20 pounds.
The current weight is 67 kilograms, and the body fat rate has dropped from the original 45% to 35%.
But it is still far beyond the normal range, and there is still a long way to go to lose weight!
When Goudan Niang and Tiewa Niang saw her, they would ask with concern: "Are you too tired recently? I see you have lost a lot of weight! You should feel bad when Meng Jin comes back."
Xu Yin: "..."
Are you serious?
"Speaking of Meng Jin, why is the corvee time so long this year?" Goudan Niang frowned, "My brother hasn't come back yet. He won't really be taken to the north to build the city wall, right? If I had known, I would have borrowed here and there. We have to gather enough three feet of silk to prevent him from serving."
"I probably haven't gone to the north," Tiewa Niang said.
Her brother-in-law is studying in the town and is relatively well-informed.
"He has a classmate whose uncle is on duty at the Yamen. He heard that a black stone kiln was discovered in Wuxian County. Most of the people who served this year were taken to work in Wuxian County. I heard that everyone who went there had to He went in blindfolded with black cloth and came out again blindfolded. No one knows where the black stone kiln is exactly."
"No wonder my family can't find out no matter how much I ask." The young daughter-in-law who came with Tiewa Niang said worriedly, "I heard that working in the Black Stone Kiln is very dangerous. I hope they can all come back safely."
As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Goudan panting and running from the direction of the village entrance:
"Mom! Auntie in the lobby! Something bad has happened!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Speak slowly!"
"Yes, it's the lobby uncle! He, he's back!"
"You said Meng Jin is back? Isn't that a good thing?"
"No, no, his leg was broken. He was pushed back on a cart..."
"What!!!"
Xu Yin didn't care about cleaning up the house and followed Goudan straight to the village entrance.
Seeing that she didn't even close the door, Goudan Niang and Tie Wa Niang helped pack the things in the yard into the house, locked the door, and closed the courtyard gate before hurriedly following her.
The shortcut from the end of the village to the entrance is about four or five miles. This is Goudan’s second trip. He is so exhausted that he can’t run anymore. “Auntie in the lobby, go quickly! I’ll wait for my mother.”
Xu Yin picked him up without saying a word, put him under her arm and continued running.
Goudan: "..."
Lao Cui's family is close to the entrance of the village. When they heard that their eldest son had broken his leg and was sent back, the Cui family immediately came to the entrance of the village.
Seeing her eldest son's legs limp and bloody on the cart, Ms. Cui almost fainted.
"My son! How could a person who served well become like this!" She beat her chest and howled, "What will your mother do in the future!"
"Qiuhua, Meng Jin's leg is seriously injured. In my opinion, she needs to be sent to the town for medical treatment immediately. Delaying it for another day will be more dangerous." Mrs. Li Zheng helped Cui to persuade her.
The surrounding villagers also said to each other:
"Yes, with such a serious injury, what's the point of not sending him to the hospital? It won't be better if he lies down at home."
"Sister-in-law Qiuhua, hurry up and find someone to take Meng Jin to the town to see a doctor! If it doesn't work in town, go to the county town! You must find a way to cure Meng Jin's leg!"
Cui's eyes were filled with tears: "Don't I want to treat him! It's just... such a serious injury, it will definitely cost a lot of money to treat! You also know the situation of my family, where can I raise so much money... ugh Woo hoo..."
Cui Qiaoqiao rubbed her mother's back soothingly and stood up and said: "It's not that we don't want to treat my eldest brother's leg. The main reason is that we have separated a long time ago and we have to listen to my eldest sister-in-law on this matter. Maybe my eldest sister-in-law is not willing to treat my eldest brother's leg. Woolen cloth!"
"Who says I'm not happy?"
Xu Yin put down the dog balls, held her waist and took a few breaths. Her eyes fell on the face of the unconscious man on the trolley, and the familiar feeling made her feel suffocated.
He said decisively: "Treat him! Go and treat him now! I want to cure my husband's leg even though I'm trying to sell iron!"
Cui Qiaoqiao: "..."
cut! Who doesn’t know how to talk about scenes?
I'll see how long you can keep pretending!
Although she was rich, she went up the mountain every day during this period and reaped something every day. In addition to catching pheasants and rabbits, she also dug up a ginseng plant. Although it was not an old ginseng that was more than thirty or fifty years old, she still sold it for a lot of money.
But in order to let the eldest brother and the people in the village see clearly the true face of Mrs. Xu, she cannot spend money to treat the eldest brother's leg now. She will wait for Mrs. Xu to run away with the supplies from the big house, and wait for everyone to see clearly the true face of this woman. It’s not too late for the eldest brother to go to the hospital to treat his leg.
So Cui Qiaoqiao waited and waited at home.
However, the news she wanted to wait for did not arrive. Instead, she heard that the villagers who helped take Cui Da to the town medical center came back and said that the town doctor was not very sure. After helping to stop the bleeding, he asked his family members to rush to the county town. Hearing that Qinghe An old imperial doctor who retired from the capital came to the county. He is good at acupuncture and can definitely cure the leg.
"How can it be!"
Cui Qiaoqiao jumped up with disbelief on her face.
"Why is it impossible? That's what the doctor at the medical clinic said." The villager who came to deliver a message to Lao Cui's family suddenly darkened his face, "Your reaction makes it seem like I'm lying to you. What's the point of lying to you? ? Anyway, I brought the words here, it’s up to you to believe it or not!”
He also wanted to send a message to Goudan Niang. Meng Jin’s wife had accompanied Meng Jin to the county town to have her leg treated. The family asked Goudan Niang to help her keep an eye on things. There wasn’t much else, but two wild boar cubs and a group of chickens and ducks that needed to be fed.
After hearing the message, Goudanniang immediately expressed her stance: "Okay! I've got it figured out!"
When Mrs. Cui learned about it, her expression was sarcastic.
You have already sent someone to deliver a message to your family. How can you tell the relatives next door about feeding the livestock and poultry? If you tell her mother-in-law, won't she help? I'm afraid she's on guard against her mother-in-law.
At this moment, Ms. Cui felt resentful towards her eldest son. The old saying was indeed true, if a family is separated, it is no longer a family.
Cui Qiaoqiao was stunned on the spot, still not believing that this was true!
That woman is willing to treat her elder brother's leg? How is this possible?
Could it be that the Xu family was also reborn?
But what is the picture?
In my previous life, my eldest brother was paralyzed in bed. Because he kept lying down, his buttocks developed sores and his injured legs became festered and maggoted. He died within a few years. Even if my leg is cured in this life, I will still be a poor farmer. What achievements can I make?
Look at that woman again, she is still as good-looking and lazy as in her previous life——
When I catch a fish, I don’t know how to pickle it, keep it, and eat it slowly, and finish the meal that day;
If you catch a wild boar, you will eat more and sell less;
I didn’t know how to save a little money, so I exchanged eggs with villagers every now and then and went to Huzi’s house to buy tofu;
They still raise ducks in rice fields, saying that ducks can peck insects and eat grass so that they don’t have to pull weeds. Isn’t this laziness? As a peasant woman, she is too lazy to pull out grass.
Cui Qiaoqiao thought for a while and determined that Mrs. Xu was still the same lazy Mrs. Xu, but she was thinner than before, but no matter how thin she was, she was still a piece of meat.
