Chapter 29
029. Asking for debts and giving money
There are no landowners in Shenjia Village. After the Zhong family came back, they became the most prosperous family in the village. Many villagers flattered them and they were prosperous.
Zhong asked the villagers to clean and repair the inside and outside of his home, and bought a lot of furniture. The old furniture was given to the villagers, which won a lot of favor.
At this time, two large red lanterns hung in front of the door of the Zhong family, swaying gently in the wind, making the family appear even more outstanding.
Matchmaker Zhang came to the gate of Zhong's house and stood there watching. When she saw the old woman who was waiting for Mrs. Zhong coming out, she hurriedly greeted her, "Auntie."
The old woman had a somewhat aloof view of herself. After all, she was a servant of a wealthy family. All the villagers were poor, so even talking to her made her feel shabby.
She looked up and down at Matchmaker Zhang, who had a flattering smile on her face. She must have come to fight against the autumn wind, "Are you okay?"
Seeing the lukewarm attitude of the old lady, Matchmaker Zhang restrained her smile a little, "I'm looking for Mrs. Zhong and I have a happy event to talk to her about. Can you convey it to her on my behalf?"
I couldn't tell what kind of happy event there might be. It turned out that I was here to enjoy the autumn breeze. The old woman's attitude became even more indifferent, "I'm going to do the laundry soon. I'll tell the old lady when I'm done. You can go back first."
Matchmaker Zhang stretched out her hand and grabbed the old woman's arm, looking close to her, "It's such a great thing, I don't want to miss it. Auntie, please go and tell me."
Mrs. Zhong looked a little excited and said, "Can you really convince the other girl to marry my grandson?"
Matchmaker Zhang said confidently, "The Zhong family is so wealthy, how can the girl not be willing to do it? As long as the old lady agrees, I will take care of this matter."
Her grandson was in poor health, and there were no girls in the capital who were willing to marry her. Now that she only had half a year left to live, she gave up thinking of finding a wife for her grandson.
Matchmaker Zhang said half-heartedly, "I saw a suitable girl. She is a little over fourteen years old and will turn fifteen soon. She is in good health and looks pretty. She is the perfect match for your grandson."
Wei Xi said angrily, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? You have always been taking care of my wife. Did you give her something she shouldn't have eaten?"
…
Matchmaker Zhang stepped forward with a smile, "Old madam, I am the matchmaker in the village, and I have a happy event to tell you."
But as soon as I walked into the yard, I saw the man who came to collect debts two days ago walked into the yard, and the villagers in the village also followed him, looking like they were watching a good show.
The creditor said angrily, "It's only half a day. We happen to have nothing to do. Come over for lunch. If you have some silver, give it to us right away. We'll leave immediately."
"A happy event?" Mrs. Zhong took Matchmaker Zhang to the main room to sit down. "What happy event can you tell me?"
Matchmaker Zhang looked around and lowered her voice and said, "I know Zhou Yi's health is not good, but that girl has a tough life. If you marry her, you can protect your grandson from disasters. Maybe Zhou Yi will be fine?"
Shen Wanni was waiting at the door of Matchmaker Zhang's house, "Auntie, how are you?"
The maid lowered her head and said, "The medicine residue has been thrown away."
Shen Ruoxi looked at the other party without fear, "Isn't there still half a day?"
Matchmaker Zhang said gratefully, "Thank you Auntie."
Favorability value +10, cumulative favorability value 840.
When she returned to the village this time, Shen Ruoxi didn't see Shen Ruohao, so she had to carry the flour home by herself, panting from exhaustion.
Mrs. Zhong was immediately moved. There was a seriously ill man in the capital who married a wife to celebrate his wedding. The man gradually got better and returned to normal.
Mrs. Zhong smiled and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. If it turns out to be a good thing, I will thank you well."
Wei Xi didn't bother to take care of the maid anymore, "Thank you, girl."
Mrs. Zhong secretly thought that the other party didn't know that her grandson only had half a year left to live. If he agreed to this, wouldn't it mean that the girl would be wasted for her whole life?
The old lady took Matchmaker Zhang to the door of the room where the old lady lived, "Old lady, someone in the village is looking for you."
Matchmaker Zhang pressed the clock on the old lady's arm, "Don't worry, I won't let the old lady down."
After chatting for a few more words, Matchmaker Zhang left Mrs. Zhong's house.
Qinghe County, Weifu.
Shen Ruoxi wrote down an antidote prescription and gave it to Wei Xi, "Drink this medicine twice, and then continue to use the previous prescription. Be careful, your child can't stand the torture anymore."
Shen Ruoxi frowned and said firmly, "Someone must have given her other medicine. Show me the residue."
Matchmaker Zhang said with joy on her face, "Mrs. Zhong hopes that I can facilitate this matter. Don't worry, I will definitely tell your cousin to the Zhong family so that your cousin can live a good life."
After coming out of the Wei Mansion, Shen Ruoxi got another ten taels of silver. She now has twenty-one taels of silver in her hand, "This Wei Xi is quite generous."
Mrs. Zhong hesitated and said, "My grandson is not in good health. Is this marriage inappropriate?"
Wei Xi looked shocked, "Girl, the medicine Madam drank was according to your prescription. I didn't give her anything else. It's impossible for the medicine to be incompatible with each other."
Shen Wanni smiled brightly, "Thank you, auntie, for your help. My cousin will definitely be very grateful to you."
Seeing that Shen Ruoxi couldn't ask anything for a while, she said, "I'll prescribe medicine to detoxify Madam first, and you can handle the rest by yourself."
Madam Zhong wanted to make friends with the villagers. After all, she would need help from the villagers when she lived in the village in the future, so she walked out of the house.
Wei Xi solemnly took the prescription and said, "Thank you very much, girl. I will take care of it personally from now on."
After collecting the silver, Shen Ruoxi found a deserted place, exchanged 100 favorability points for thirty kilograms of flour, and carried it home.
Seeing that Matchmaker Zhang would not give up until she achieved her goal, the old woman had no choice but to agree, "I'll take you in. You can tell the old lady yourself."
Putting the flour in the kitchen, Shen Ruoxi was going to continue to loosen the soil and plant the corn.
She looked at the young master of the Wei family, "What did you feed her?"
In the room, Shen Ruoxi took Mrs. Wei's pulse and said, "Madam's stomachache has nothing to do with the fetus. It is caused by the intoxication of the drugs."
Once the marriage between Shen Ruoxi and Zhong Zhouyi is finalized, she can prepare to start her business with peace of mind.
The maid was so frightened that she knelt down and said, "Young Master is very aware, I don't know anything."
The original owner died because of these people, and now she has taken over the original owner's body. She wants to give her a break no matter what, "Do you believe that I don't need to give you money today, but you still give me money?"
The creditor and the few scoundrels he brought burst into laughter instantly, "Hahahaha, I have never seen a debtor give money instead. Are you crazy?"
"You'll see it soon." Shen Ruoxi looked calmly at the little ruffian who kept hiccupping because he had sucked in the cold wind from laughing just now.
The creditor's tongue pressed against his cheek, looking even more rogue, "Okay, let me see how you asked me to pay for it today."
