Jiang Yunzhu and her group returned home and immediately started to cook lunch. Fang Laosi and his wife were very quick and quick, and they rushed to do everything, which made Jiang Yunzhu and Chen much more relaxed.
In the middle, the young man, Gu Qifeng, came again. He smelled the aroma of the vegetables in the yard, his face salivating, and said to Jiang Yunzhu who was busy in the kitchen, "Just hire me. I don't want that much salary. Just give me two coins a month, no, one coin will do."
Jiang Yunzhu took the time to glance at him and refused without hesitation, "No."
At his age, he is a child laborer, and his family is counting on him to study and take the imperial examinations. She hired him not to look for trouble.
"Then can I not ask for any wages? You just need to provide me with three meals a day." Gu Qifeng said.
"That won't work either." Jiang Yunzhu said.
Gu Qifeng understood that she was determined not to hire him. He looked around, his eyes rolling, and suddenly saw Jiang Lin, and immediately went over.
He was about the same age as Jiang Lin, and soon the two of them were whispering together like friends.
Jiang Lin was busy serving rice, so he helped. Jiang Lin and Fang Laosi pushed the cart to deliver the rice, and he followed.
Jiang Yunzhu frowned and said to Chen, "Why don't we talk to their family later and ask them to take him back."
"Yes." Chen agreed.
Jiang Yunzhu no longer paid attention to him. With his youthful temperament, he thought that after two days, he would feel that it was boring and leave on his own.
Cooking and delivering meals every day was like fighting a war for the Jiang family. Today, with the help of Fang Laosi and his wife, the job became very easy. Chen felt more and more that everything Jiang Yunzhu did was reasonable.
Jiang Yunzhu wanted to relax a little, so after dinner, she said to Jiang Cheng, "Dad, let's go to the county town later to buy you a car. Also, I want to go to the county town to see if there is a suitable chef, and buy some pig intestines and pork by the way." for making sausages.
The sausages need to be dried for a few days before they can be eaten, so this must be done in advance.
Based on the normal price, the Jiang family could make seven or eight taels out of twenty taels for Yang Sheng's order. Jiang Yunzhu was not sure whether he and Shen Fengming had helped them with Wei Kangping's matter, but she still decided to give him a lower score.
In this way, they can earn four or five taels, more than enough to buy a car.
Jiang Cheng's face was full of surprise. With a car, he could do great things!
"Oh, there is one more thing. Let's ask grandpa to go into the city with us later. I want to find a doctor to check his eyes." Jiang Yunzhu had been thinking about this matter in her mind, but she was reluctant to say it because her family was in financial difficulty before.
Now it's time to put this matter on the agenda.
Jiang Cheng and Chen listened, feeling both comforted and guilty. Why didn't they think of this? As children, they were so neglectful!
In fact, it’s not their fault. They took Mr. Chen to see a doctor a few years ago, but he didn’t get better after taking the medicine.
Later, Mr. Chen himself didn't want to be treated anymore, so they let the matter go.
Now that life is getting better, Mrs. Chen feels that it is time to find a good doctor for Mr. Chen.
The three of them went to see Mr. Chen together and told him what had happened.
They cared about him so much, and Mr. Chen felt warm in his heart, but he just waved his hands. After so many years, he was used to it. He could still live for a few years, why waste that money!
Of course Jiang Cheng and the other two refused to agree, so they persuaded Old Man Chen to go out with them.
Go buy a car first. Money makes it easy. After picking a relatively large shop, Jiang Cheng quickly picked a car. He just happened to be holding a mule, so he put it on and tried it out. It was just right.
"Is this the car?" Jiang Cheng asked Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu had no problem with it and gave four taels of silver to the store owner.
This time they had a mule cart. Jiang Cheng drove the cart, while Jiang Yunzhu and Old Man Chen sat on the cart, and they happily headed towards the south of the city.
They had just asked the store owner and learned that the best doctor in the county was Doctor Jin from Yongshou Hall. It was said that he had just returned from the capital and had extraordinary medical skills.
Jiang Yunzhu was looking forward to this medical treatment even more. When Old Man Chen listened, his heart was also filled with waves. The pain of a person who could see before suddenly becoming blind was not something that ordinary people could understand.
If he could open his eyes and see the world again, he would have no regrets in death.
He is indeed the best doctor in the county. A consultation costs one or two taels of silver, and even then, there is still a long queue.
"Why don't we just not watch it and go back." Old Master Chen backed out.
"Dad, it took a lot of effort to get here." Jiang Cheng glanced at the people in front and behind him and said to Jiang Yunzhu, "I'll just wait in line here. You take your grandfather to the mule cart to rest for a while. I'll call you when it's our turn." He was in high spirits and spoke with a smile.
In winter, the streets are cold and windy. If you stand still here, you will be blown through in a short time. Jiang Cheng thought he was strong and not afraid, but Jiang Yunzhu and Old Man Chen could not stand it.
Jiang Yunzhu agreed and helped Old Man Chen back to the mule cart.
As soon as the two men sat down on the mule cart, another horse-drawn carriage came and stopped right next to them.
The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing a beautiful lady. She was about twenty years old, with her hair tied up high, her forehead and eyebrows beautiful, and her natural beauty, just like the fairy Gushe. Especially since she was wearing a white shirt and a white flower on her head, as if she was in mourning for someone, she looked even more noble and awe-inspiring.
Because of the angle, Jiang Yunzhu could see her face and couldn't help but take a few more glances. After all, everyone likes to look at pretty people.
Ji Sanniang also saw Jiang Yunzhu. She was stunned for a moment, then nodded to Jiang Yunzhu and gave a faint smile.
Jiang Yunzhu was a little surprised. She looked like someone who was difficult to approach, but she didn't expect him to be so kind to her.
She also smiled at her, like the sunshine in spring.
Ji Sanniang retracted her gaze, took out a prescription and handed it to the driver, "Song Li, go get the medicine."
"Yes, ma'am." Song Li took the prescription and entered Yongshou Hall.
Then the carriage curtain was lowered.
Jiang Yunzhu didn't take this matter to heart, it was just a chance encounter.
She looked around while sitting in the car and saw a wonton stand across the street. The woman selling the wontons was a pretty young woman with a fair complexion, which made her look quite pretty.
People eating wontons and passing by would look at her from time to time.
Jiang Yunzhu was surprised. What happened today? She actually met someone good-looking.
She looked at the busy little woman and the steaming soup pot, and planned whether she should also come to the county town to develop her business next. The mining business was just like that. It would be better if she could build a restaurant at the foot of the mountain. However, she had inquired that the land at the foot of the mountain was all owned by the court, and the people were not allowed to occupy it privately. They could only do takeout.
To come to the county town... first, you need to have capital, and second, you need to think about what kind of business to start.
In fact, there are advantages to coming to the county town. At least it is convenient to buy anything.
Jiang Yunzhu was just daydreaming when she saw a man at the corner of the wonton stall. He turned his head and looked around while touching his body. Then he quickly put something into the bowl.
Then he slammed the table and said, "Boss, your wontons are not clean!"
The wonton woman was startled and hurried over. She looked into the bowl in front of him and saw a finger-long hair in it. She immediately said softly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll change the bowl for you."
"Change the bowl? I found hair in it after I finished eating. Now I feel nauseous and want to vomit. If you change the bowl for me, how can I eat it?" the man shouted.
The little woman turned pale. “Then I won’t charge you any money.”
"You're done with not charging me? I've already told you that I feel sick and want to vomit. Who knows if there's something else in your wontons?" After saying that, he actually started yelling, "Everyone come and take a look. There's something in the wontons.
This stall is not clean. You'd better check your bowls to make sure there are no cockroaches or bedbugs. Eat half and leave the other half in the bowl. How disgusting.
I was harmed by them, and now I feel miserable all over.”
His words were disgusting, what did he mean by eat half and leave the other half? The customers at the stall all looked into their own bowls, and although they didn't see anything, they couldn't eat anymore.
The young woman was so anxious that sweat broke out on her face. She pleaded in a low voice, "Sir, it's my fault."
"Just know it's your fault, and pay the money."
"How much compensation?" There were tears in the little woman's eyes, and she looked very touching.
The man originally just wanted to extort money, but when he saw this scene, he reached out to pull the young woman's arm and said, "How much compensation you want? That's up to the county magistrate to decide. Come on, follow me to see the magistrate."
Of course he didn't dare to go to the official, he just wanted to take advantage of the little woman. If this little woman was a little weaker, he would coax her to a place where no one was around, hehe...
Jiang Yunzhu saw everything from the opposite side and felt annoyed. She also sold food and hated people like this the most.
"What are you doing!" she said.
She suddenly spoke, which startled Li Quan. When he looked up, he saw a pretty girl opposite him, and immediately became calm again.
"Something was found in the wontons. I want her to go with me to a place where we can talk it out." Li Quan said, and pulled the young woman's arm again.
Jiang Yunzhu pulled the little woman to her side and said coldly, "Where can we reason? I'll go to the county government office with you, do you dare to go? I just saw it clearly from the opposite side, you took the hair from your body and put it into the bowl, and you still falsely accuse the stall owner?"
Li Quan's expression changed immediately. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Am I talking nonsense?" Jiang Yunzhu picked up the bowl of wontons and saw that all the wontons had been eaten, leaving only half a bowl of soup. A black hair was floating on it, which was very conspicuous.
She immediately understood what was going on and said to everyone, "Everyone come and take a look. This hair is floating on the soup. If it was really done by the stall owner, then this person should have seen it when he got the bowl of wontons. Why did he only notice it now after eating it
Besides, I have no relationship with the stall owner, so there is no need for me to speak for her.
Indeed, I spoke up because I saw this person throwing hair into the bowl and trying to blackmail others from the other side.
Everyone has a wife and daughter. What is the purpose of a man bullying a woman like this?"
Li Quan was hit in the sore spot and looked at Jiang Yunzhu angrily, "You!"
The guests suddenly realized something. Some of them stood up and looked into the bowl. It was just as Jiang Yunzhu said. It was obvious to them that Li Quan was deliberately blackmailing them.
"Yunzhu." Jiang Cheng was queuing over there. Suddenly he heard the noise here and quickly ran over here.
Li Quan saw that things were not going well, and he jumped into the alley next to him like a fish. As he ran, he said, "There is no place to reason. Just wait, you will get what you want sooner or later."
When Jiang Cheng came over and wanted to chase him, there was no sign of Li Quan.
He could only come back angrily and ask Jiang Yunzhu with concern, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Yunzhu shook her head. She was fine, but this little woman... She looked at the little woman. She was too weak. It was easy for her to be bullied by setting up a stall to sell food.
"This stall belongs to my husband, and he is sick." Ruan was afraid and grateful, and said to Jiang Yunzhu with sobs.
No wonder, Jiang Yunzhu understood, "Then you should be more careful in the future." There will definitely be more people like that in the future. Speaking of which, the business environment at the mine is pretty good, there are no idle people like Li Quan.
Ruan nodded quickly and thanked her profusely.
Jiang Yunzhu shook her head. This was all she could do to help her.
She and Jiang Cheng were about to leave when a male voice asked, "What's going on?"
Jiang Yunzhu recognized him. He was the driver of the beautiful woman in the carriage. His name seemed to be Song Li. He was holding a medicine bag in his hand. It seemed that he had come out from Yongshou Hall to get medicine.
At this time, there were a lot of people gathered around. They were indignant and told Song Li what had just happened.
After listening to this, Song Li turned around and left.
Everyone was a little confused. What was he doing? He was listening to a play. Even if he was listening to a play, he should have given a reaction before leaving!
Jiang Yunzhu was also quite surprised.
But before long, Song Li came back again. He took out a silver ingot and handed it to Ruan, "My wife said that you should stop setting up the stall and cure your husband's illness first."
The silver ingot weighed five taels and shone so brightly that even the people around were jealous.
Ruan was even more panicked, "How can this be possible? I can't accept it."
"Madam gives it to you, just take it." Song Li stuffed the silver into Ruan's hands.
Ruan knew that she had met two good people today, first Jiang Yunzhu and then this lady. She wanted to thank the lady. Although she might not want to hear it, it was the only thing she could do.
"Madam doesn't like to be disturbed." Song Li directly rejected Ruan.
Ruan was at a loss holding the silver.
Song Li then said to Jiang Yunzhu, "My wife told me to tell you to mind your own business in the future. Otherwise, if someone sneaks into your house in the middle of the night, what will you do?"
After saying this, he turned and left. Soon he got on the carriage and drove away.
Jiang Yunzhu stood there and slowly frowned. Why did she feel that there was a deeper meaning to what he said just now
"Yunzhu, don't worry, I'm here!" Jiang Cheng thought Jiang Yunzhu was scared, so he comforted her.
"Yeah." Jiang Yunzhu nodded.
Everyone dispersed, and Ruan decided to listen to the lady and stop setting up the stall after selling all the wontons today, to avoid Li Quan causing trouble again.
Little did she know that at this moment, Li Quan was in an alley with both of his legs broken, and he would be unable to walk for several months.
Jiang Cheng continued to queue up, and half an hour later, it was finally their turn to see the doctor.
Doctor Jin carefully examined Mr. Chen's eyes and shook his head. The old man was old, and if he had come to him when he first fell ill, he would have had a 50% chance of curing him. But it has been delayed until now and there is basically no cure.
"I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Go back and try taking it. If it doesn't work, don't waste your money." He looked at the clothes of Jiang Cheng and others and knew that their families were not rich, so he said this.
Mr. Chen was disappointed but didn't show it. He had expected that, hadn't he
Jiang Cheng was also very disappointed.
Jiang Yunzhu was still not willing to give up, thinking that she would find a better doctor after she saved up some money. But she didn't say anything.
Jiang Yunzhu had wasted a lot of time on seeing the doctor, so she decided not to go to the dentist today. She bought some pig intestines and pork and went home first.
On the way, she saw the mule pulling the cart, and suddenly remembered Song Li's words. A light bulb went off in her head. Wei Kangping, Wei Kangping hasn't been caught yet. Wouldn't he sneak into their house in the middle of the night to take revenge on them
Although this suspicion was unfounded, she couldn't help but think so.
What would they do if he came
When Jiang Yunzhu arrived home, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng were just about to go out on horseback. She looked up and saw them. Shen Fengming was sitting upright on his horse, his eyebrows and eyes were as sharp as arrows. Although Yang Sheng had a smile on his face, there was a solemn feeling about him.
She suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of security. With the two of them here, even if a hundred Wei Kangpings came, it would be fine!
Thinking of this, she opened her mouth and asked, "When will you be back?"
When she said this, Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming were stunned. In the past, she never cared about where they went or when they would come back, so why did she do that today
Yang Sheng looked at Shen Fengming jokingly.
Shen Fengming looked at Jiang Yunzhu, and something seemed to flow in his eyes. "You should be back in the evening," he said.
"Yeah." Jiang Yunzhu felt that she should add "come back early", but when she thought about who was on the other side, she gave up.
In the evening, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng came back. Chen was decocting medicine for Old Man Chen, and the yard was filled with the smell of medicine.
It was already late at night, and Shen Fengming suddenly asked Yang Sheng, "Did Wu Yixian appear in Hangzhou last year?"
Wu Yixian, whose real name was Wu Xingwei, was called Wu Yixian because of his superb medical skills and elusive whereabouts.
After hearing this, Yang Sheng immediately thought of Master Chen's eyes, and he understood and said, "Yes, but that old man didn't even give the emperor face. Why, do you want to invite him over?" If he remembered correctly, the old man was quite annoyed with the Qilin Guard and felt that the Qilin Guard was against the harmony of heaven, especially Shen Fengming, who killed so many people.
Shen Fengming wanted to hire someone, but was afraid that he wouldn't be able to.
Of course, there’s no need to invite them, just kidnap them.
But what about after coming here? You can't force others to treat Mr. Chen.
That old man has a very strange temper.
Suddenly he laughed again, "That old man is greedy and loves to play, Miss Jiang is smart and cooks delicious food, maybe it's really possible."
At this moment, he thought of the apparition of the goddess Jiang Yunzhu. He had always been curious about it, but he just couldn't find a suitable opportunity to ask.
