Nanny Lin arrived quickly, and Hua Zhi dismissed everyone else, leaving only Yingchun to serve her.
"Although it's not right for a daughter to arrange her mother's life, you know my mother's personality. If I don't take more care of her, I'm afraid she'll suffer a loss. She'll be happy and think she's getting a great deal."
Nanny Lin lowered her eyebrows and said, "Madam has always been a person who doesn't care about calculations."
Hua Zhi held the cup, lifted the lid with one hand and gently wiped it around, then wiped the floating leaves to the other side. She took a sip, raised her head and said, "Mammy is an elder by my mother's side, and she always cares about me. But there are some things I still need to tell you so I can feel at ease."
"Please give me your instructions, young lady."
"I'm afraid everyone in the family is watching Green Moss Lane. I have no intention of hiding it. I will report it to Grandmother tomorrow. However, this profitable business is very attractive. Someone will definitely take advantage of my absence to cause trouble. My mother is easily deceived and has a simple mind. I'm worried that she will be fooled. So I hope that Nanny Lin will work harder during this period and try not to leave my mother's side. Remind her at critical moments."
Hua Zhi stood up and walked to the door, looking at the gloomy sky. "I'm not afraid of what she might do, but she will definitely be sad afterwards. She is such a person. Since she has lived to this age and still hasn't learned those tricks, she doesn't need to learn them in the future. I can always protect her."
"Madam is blessed to have you and the Sixth Young Master."
Who says it isn't true? Her mother is a typical example of a fool who has good luck. But such a person is not annoying at all.
Yingchun took a thin cloak and put it on her. Hua Zhi gathered her clothes and said, "No matter who comes to see my mother, you should listen by the side. No matter if they want to take over Green Moss Lane or the canned food business, you should fight back in person. Let them go to my grandmother, or wait for me to come back and talk to me. If they still don't back down, tell them how much effort they put in. I am willing to return it tenfold to them. From now on, the honor and disgrace of the Hua family have nothing to do with them."
"Yes, I remember it."
"Also." Hua Zhi turned around and looked at her, "Don't ask the Zhu family for help until the last moment. The Hua family has to stand up on its own."
"yes."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Nanny Lin bent down and said, "I dare not say that I am tired, but the young lady is the one who is really tired. I hope that the young lady can take good care of herself when she is away from home and be careful about everything."
"I will."
When Nanny Lin saw that the eldest lady had no other instructions, she bowed deeply and left.
Yingchun made tea for the young lady again and said, "I noticed that you were very polite to Nanny Lin."
"Do you think I'm not treating you well enough?"
Yingchun covered her mouth and laughed, "If you are really polite to me, I will be panicked."
Hua Zhi glanced at her and a smile appeared in her eyes. She really admired Lin Shuang's loyalty for ten years. The reason why her mother was still as innocent as a little girl at such an old age was not only because her father protected her well, but also because she had Lin Shuang who solved all the trivial matters for her.
Her father's concubines have been making some small moves over the years, but her father always knew about everything first, and things were resolved before her naive mother got to know about it. How could Lin Shuang not have a hand in this
She felt relieved to have such a person by her mother's side.
The next morning, Hua Zhi took the account book to her grandmother's room.
The old lady was not surprised by her arrival at all. She asked her to have breakfast with her before taking the account book and looking at it. Even though she had sent someone to inquire about it yesterday, she was still a little surprised when she actually saw the accounts in black and white.
“How can you make money like this?”
Hua Zhi smiled, "We have just opened. Business will get better as the news spreads."
The old lady couldn't stop laughing. If that was true, the Hua family wouldn't have to worry about their lives in the future. They could survive by relying on these snack shops, and they could also save some money for their relatives in the north.
Thinking of this, the old lady signaled Su Ma to take out the box from the chest and take out all the banknotes and jewelry inside, "Take all of these with you."
"My granddaughter has made some preparations. The silver in the shop over the past few days will be taken away. You can keep these jewelry. The Hua family has not yet reached the time to pawn them." Hua Zhi took the banknotes and pushed the jewelry back. She still hid these jewelry under such circumstances, which shows how much she cherishes them.
The old lady didn't force it. She stroked the old-fashioned golden hairpin and said with nostalgia, "This was my grandmother's dowry. She gave it to me when I got married. It's an old item now."
“So you should keep it well.”
The old lady smiled and put it back into the box. "Grandma knows that you have made a lot of arrangements these days. The fourth daughter-in-law has received such a great favor from you. She will take your request to heart. Grandma will also take good care of the family and not let them ruin your plans."
"It's reassuring to have a grandmother at home to look after her granddaughter."
The old lady patted the back of her hand. Her hands were getting drier and aging, and there were age spots on the back of her hands. Hua Zhi knew that her grandmother was really old, so old that she was caught off guard and could not be stopped.
In the afternoon, Hua Zhi went to the clinic to get medicine. Shaoyao insisted on going with her to see how powerful Doctor Chu was that Hua Hua mentioned, so Hua Zhi had no choice but to take her with her.
Doctor Chu took out a bag of medicine and picked out a bottle to show Hua Zhi. "The last time I saw Mr. Hua, I saw signs of heart disease, so I prepared some of this medicine for him. One pill a day. I prepared enough for him to take for a year. Remember to take it."
Shaoyao quickly took the medicine bottle, pulled out the stopper, poured out a pill, sniffed it, and frowned slightly.
Doctor Chu was also somewhat surprised when he saw her actions. Judging from her attire, she looked like a girl, so how come she looked like she knew something about pharmacology
"Miss, do you have any questions about this medicine?"
Shaoyao was not polite at all and asked, "Why do we put the medicine called Big Insect Stick in this?"
"It's because the big insect stick can break up blood stasis and unblock the meridians. If the meridians are unblocked, there will be no pain, and if there is pain, there will be blockage. It is the most suitable medicine to use in heart disease prescriptions." Chu Shitang saw that she could smell the medicine at once, and knew that she had met an expert. After explaining a few words, he asked, "Young lady, do you understand medical theory?"
Shaoyao stretched out her hand to lift up the veil, but Huazhi quickly grabbed her hand and said, "I'm sorry that you made fun of me, Doctor Chu. My friend is obsessed with medicine, so please don't blame me for being unreasonable."
"There aren't many people who are obsessed with medicine." Chu Shitang didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and bent over the desk to write for a while. He took a piece of paper full of words and handed it to Shaoyao. "This is the prescription for this medicine. If you are interested, you can study it."
In this world, asking for someone else's prescription is like destroying someone's job. Hua Zhi wanted to stop him, but she couldn't bear to stop him because she could feel the shining eyes through the veil. Just as she was about to ask for money to buy it, she saw Shaoyao also bent over the table and wrote for a moment, and also gave Chu Shitang a prescription, "This prescription is a new one I researched, please refer to it, Doctor Chu."
Hua Zhi wanted to cover her face. Changing one prescription after another was something only Shaoyao could do.
