With the deposit of twenty-eight cents and ten cents from shopkeeper Chen, Yu Ying gained another income from her small treasury.
Although we have to plan for the long term and save what we can, but now even the most basic daily necessities have become a problem, it is really difficult to save.
Yu Ying thought about how her family would come to help clean up the house tomorrow, so she decided to use the money to go shopping.
First, I went to Dongshi to inquire about the price of pork.
Fatty meat costs eighteen cents, lean meat ten cents, and those with both fat and lean meat cost twelve cents per pound.
She bought half a pound of meat for twelve cents a pound and spent six cents.
Because it was already the lunch market, there were very few fruits and vegetables available, and the rest were wilted, so Yu Ying didn't buy any.
Thinking of seeing the fresh ingredients that Uncle Chen delivers to restaurants every three days on the oxcart, Yu Ying thought about how Uncle Chen would deliver jelly tomorrow, so she asked him to stop by and she would give him money.
I mentioned it to Uncle Chen and he readily agreed.
After negotiating the price, it was probably a good deal.
Today, Yu Ying went to the East Market to buy pork, and then to the West Market to buy some cloth.
The colored linen cost six cents per foot, and the plain linen cost four cents per foot. The quality was not very good, so Yu Ying still pulled out four feet of plain linen.
Including scissors and needlework, as well as a bucket and a basin, it cost another eighteen pence.
A total of forty-three coins were spent on miscellaneous things.
What I earn today is not enough to cover expenses, but these are necessary and cannot be spared.
Yu Ying put everything that could fit into the backpack, covered it with herbs, and held the wooden bucket.
Besides, other medical clinics also collected the herbs Yu Ying brought at low prices, and they also picked out some.
There are four medical clinics in Yu County, but the doctors are not very skilled. Yu Ying knows this, but does not mean to look down upon them.
After all, she is different from this ancient doctor. She had many resources to train her, and much of the knowledge she learned was the crystallization of the wisdom of doctors from past dynasties.
And this ancient people not only had a hard time studying, but their resources were not as rich as those of later generations.
It is difficult to compare the two, so as long as there are no medical ethics issues, Yu Ying will not look down on them.
But even though Yu Ying has some abilities, she doesn't dare to save someone she doesn't know easily or open a medical clinic.
She studied Chinese medicine and had heard about some of the requirements for doctors in ancient times.
Those who work as doctors must pass the examination before they can be protected by the government. Otherwise, if there is any medical trouble for those who practice medicine without the examination, it will be difficult for the government to make a decision.
Furthermore, those who are able to open medical clinics and pharmacies usually have a backer. Without a backer, it is easy to offend others.
Therefore, in order to ensure the peace of the times, Yu Ying has no idea of opening a medical clinic to be a doctor or practicing medicine to earn money.
It was almost time, so we headed back to Lingshui Village.
Back in Lingshui Village, the weather was the same as the previous few days.
At the entrance of the village, Luo Shi and Fu An had been waiting for a long time.
Fu'an, whose neck was stretched out, finally saw the bullock cart and was so excited that he kept waving towards the bullock cart.
When they got closer, Fu An ran towards the bullock cart, keeping calling "Sister."
Uncle Chen stopped the bullock cart, and Fu An also stopped aside.
Fu Ning was a little drowsy, but when he saw his brother and grandmother, he stopped feeling sleepy instantly.
Yu Ying took her off the bullock cart, and she immediately ran to her brother's side, and Fu An immediately held her hand.
Yu Ying smiled, and after deciding the time for tomorrow with Uncle Chen, she picked up a backpack and a bucket to go back with her grandparents and grandson.
Fu An saw the new barrel in Yu Ying's hand, his mouth slightly opened, and he was shocked.
New pots, new barrels...
When he returned to the yard, he was so shocked that he was speechless. There were also new pots, new pottery stoves and meat...
Ever since he was sensible, he had never seen so many new things added to his home at once, and it was hard not to shock him.
Shocked, he fell silent again.
These things were bought by his aunt, who he had never wanted to admit.
Fu An thought of this and secretly took a peek at Yu Ying who was rummaging for something in her backpack.
When Yu Ying stood up, he hurriedly looked away.
Yu Ying handed two packages of melon seeds to Luo Shi and said, "One package of melon seeds is for Aunt He, and the other package is for you and Ning Ning Fu'an."
Hearing that it was for him, Luo Shi's heart trembled, and some indescribable warmth emerged in his heart.
After two breaths, he continued: "As long as you can eat enough, my children and I don't need to buy snacks."
Yu Ying glanced at her and failed to follow him to Yu County. Fu An's expression lit up when he heard that there were melon seeds. He looked away and said calmly: "I don't buy it often, just once or twice."
Luo Shi was silent for a moment, and then persuaded: "It's not easy for you to make money, so don't buy anything in the future."
Yu Ying just said "hmm", and then Fu An whispered from the side: "Grandma, there is still meat..."
When Luo Shi heard this, she looked startled. Yu Ying said to her: "Tomorrow, Aunt He and Uncle He will come to help strengthen the house and build a small thatched house. Aunt He refuses to count the construction lines. I thought I should give them a meal." OK."
Luo Shi fell silent and said in a slightly depressed voice: "You have the final say on your money."
After saying that, he lowered his head sadly.
Yu Ying probably knew what she was thinking, but it was just because the whole family was supported by her, a not-so-serious daughter-in-law, and she felt bad about it.
It's better to feel sorry than to rely on her and not think about her good things at all.
They were leaning on her, so why wasn't she relying on them for support in this strange place?
Furthermore, the thatched house that provides shelter from the wind and rain does not belong to their Fu family?
Yu Ying didn't think much more, nor did she go to comfort Luo Shi, she just went about her business.
When he was about to put everything away and start cooking, a loud "bang" sound suddenly came from the house where Fu Wei was, which startled several people in the yard and hurriedly walked towards the house. .
But just as he walked outside the door, a dull and tight voice suddenly came out: "Don't come in!"
There was a hint of anger in the voice.
Yu Ying was about to lift the curtain. This was the first time in so many days that she heard Fu Wei's emotional voice.
Yu Ying, who had been a doctor, vaguely guessed that something embarrassing had happened to him, and quickly stood at the door, blocking Fu An and Luo Shi, and said: "Don't go in yet."
First he looked at Fu An and said, "Use a bucket to get some water and bring it back to burn."
Then he looked at Luo Shi: "You and Ning Ning should go out for a walk first."
Luo Shi seemed to have guessed something, and said to his granddaughter: "Ning Ning, take grandma to grandma He's house."
Fu Ning glanced at her little aunt, then nodded, took her grandma's hand and walked out of the house slowly.
Fu An watched his grandmother leave, turned around and said in surprise: "Why can't you go in? My uncle fell!"
Yu Ying said: "Just let me come. You go and get water quickly."
Fu An frowned, and while thinking, his young face showed a dignity that was inconsistent with his age. He said seriously: "Then don't bully my uncle. If you want to bully others, just bully me. .”
Although he is not close to his uncle, he is grandma’s biological son.
Grandma often secretly wipes away tears because of her brother-in-law. He doesn't want to see grandma sad.
Yu Ying:......
After a moment of silence, he asked angrily: "Who have you seen me bullying recently?"
Fu An was stunned for a moment, and then after thinking about it carefully, he realized that she didn't seem to have bullied anyone. Thinking of this, he shook his head.
"So, are you still worried?" Yu Ying asked.
Fu An shook his head again.
He glanced at the curtain behind her, then without saying anything, he turned around and walked to the water tank. He originally wanted to pick up the old basin to fetch water, but after a pause, he picked up a new bucket to fetch water.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Yu Ying took a breath and said to Fu Wei in the room: "If you need help, just ask."
There was silence in the room, and Yu Ying did not hope that he would reply to her. She did not continue to wait, but started a fire with a new pottery stove and filled a pottery pot with water to boil on it.
Because she was not far from the house, she could vaguely hear a low gasp coming from the house.
Yu Ying looked at the straw curtain and sighed.
Elderly people with inconvenient legs and feet will have their self-esteem frustrated after encountering unspeakable human emergencies, and it will take a period of time for them to adapt.
During this process, no matter how good-tempered a person is, he will become anxious and irritable.
Fu Wei is doing relatively well. He has never scolded anyone or been irritable in such a long time.
After taking a look, Yu Ying made up her mind to go in after half an hour.
Half a moment later, the water was hot.
She poured the hot water into the old wooden basin and mixed it with some cold water, until it was about half full of warm water.
Yu Ying cut a new piece of cloth and put it into the basin, picked up the water and walked to the door, whispering: "I'm in."
She opened the straw curtain and walked in. She saw a pale Fu Wei, who was sitting on the bed sweating profusely and his clothes were quite messy.
Fu Wei turned to look at her and remained silent.
Yu Ying came over with a basin and said, "It's hot water. You can scrub it yourself."
After thinking for a while, she asked: "Want to help?"
Fu Wei has never been so frustrated as he is now, even when he just broke his legs, he has never been so embarrassed.
There was a lump in his throat, and he asked in a hoarse voice with a dry tongue: "You don't mind if I am like this?"
Yu Ying put the water on the table aside and said calmly: "So if you cooperate with the leg treatment, you will be disliked for a few months. If you don't cooperate, you will be disliked for the rest of your life."
Fu Wei was silent for a moment: "A lifetime?" After a pause, he said quietly: "My whole life may be just tomorrow, or next month, or maybe a year."
Yu Ying twisted the cloth and turned to look at him: "No, you will live a long life."
Fu Wei was startled: "Why do you see it?"
Yu Ying wrung out the towel and handed it to him: "Wipe your sweat."
Fu Wei did not reject her after all, he took it and wiped his face.
Yu Ying replied: "Intuition."
"Your intuition is not accurate." He said slowly.
Yu Ying didn't explain, and then asked him: "Where did you fall?"
When he mentioned what happened just now, Fu Wei's palms tightened slightly and his voice was slightly tight: "I'll just do it myself. You can go out now."
Yu Ying nodded: "You scrub it first, I'll come in later and show you the place where you fell."
With that said, he turned and left.
When I walked to the door, a dangerous voice suddenly came from behind me: "What should I call you? Or who are you?"
Yu Ying paused and her heart skipped a beat, but she soon calmed down.
In the book, the male protagonist is smart and wise. If he can't even see the changes in her, how can he reach success in the future?
He could see her clues, she had already thought of it.
She turned to look at him and asked him calmly: "I can be whoever you want, but I am just Yu Liu Niang now."
Fu Wei's eyes met hers in the air, and the two looked at each other for a few breaths.
After a few breaths, Fu Wei slowly spoke: "Since you said you are Yu Liuniang, then you are Yu Liuniang when you are here."
During this time, I have experienced the danger of being hugged by the wrong person, being humiliated by having my leg broken, what is there that I cannot accept?
It seems to be gone too.
After hearing his words, she felt relieved, and then she said "hmm" softly, then opened the curtain and walked out of the house.
Looking at the danger after she left, he pinched the cloth in his hand thoughtfully.
She said she was Yu Liuniang.
But does she remember that Yu Liuniang and him are husband and wife?
Fu Wei couldn't understand, he was a useless person, the Fu family was in such a predicament, and there were enemies eyeing him, why would she rush in?
Aren't you afraid of being dragged down, and aren't you afraid of retaliation?
There must be some reason for her decision to stay.
