"Mom, you are still wise!" Wang Erzhu flattered Mrs. Liu and made her smile.
If he also does business, he will definitely make a lot of money. When the time comes, he will make those people look good.
"snort!"
When Mrs. Wang arrived home, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu were lying on the bed. Wang Erzhu was sitting in the main room with a sad face. Her younger brother and sister-in-law, Mrs. Li, lowered her head and wiped her tears. Mrs. Wang was shocked.
"What's going on?"
"Sister, you are here. If you are later, you won't be able to see your parents." Wang Erzhu started to cry when he saw Ms. Wang. His nose and tears were all wiped on Ms. Wang's body. She even wore special clothes when leaving her parents' house today.
It was a half-new dress, but now there was a dirty fingerprint on the sleeve.
Mrs. Wang didn't care either. She pulled Wang Erzhu nervously and asked anxiously.
"Didn't you see the doctor? What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said that my parents' lack of Qi and blood has damaged their lungs and organs, and some stubborn diseases have recurred, and they need to be replenished."
The Wang family had passed Qi before. The disease was not fatal, but it was expensive to maintain the body.
Wang Erzhu gave the two of them a trick, and Father Wang and Mrs. Liu groaned in pain on the bed.
"Xiuzhi..."
"Dad, Mom, I'm here"
Mrs. Wang was filial, and she felt heartbroken when she saw her parents in pain, so she held Mrs. Liu's hand tightly.
"Did you take the medicine?"
Wang Erzhu lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes with both hands.
"Sister, there is no money at home. Not to mention taking medicine, even the medical fees are borrowed from others."
"this……"
Seeing Mrs. Wang's silence, Mrs. Liu hummed louder.
"Your father and I are already dead with our feet in the ground. This tonic is like a bottomless pit. Don't waste money on the treatment. Let us both die soon!"
"What did you say, mother? If you are sick, you need to be treated. My mother-in-law gave me fifty cents when I came. Zhuzi, hurry up and get some medicine!"
Wang Erzhu took it and looked at the string of copper plates with disgust in his eyes.
"Sister, you don't know that the cheapest tonic costs two taels of silver..."
"What kind of medicine is it? Why is it so expensive?" Ms. Wang was shocked.
"The doctor said it's best to buy ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum supplements, otherwise my parents won't survive next year." Wang Erzhu wiped his tears.
"It's all my fault that I don't have the ability to let my parents enjoy their happiness. Now I can't even afford medicine!"
"It's not Zhuzi's fault, it's because your father and I have bad luck, and it will bring trouble to you when we get old. It doesn't matter if these two old lives are dead now, I just can't let go of you and Xiuzhi..."
"Mom, I'm going to go back and beg my mother-in-law. My boss and I have made a lot of money in the past few months. Let's borrow it for my parents' medical treatment." Wang's heart was broken. Her mother was usually a strong old lady, but now she
He looked like he was waiting to die.
"Xiuzhi, don't go. You are a member of the Shen family now. How can you offend your mother-in-law because of your natal family."
"But..." Ms. Wang also understood this, but she couldn't let go of her mother.
"Hey, it would be great if Zhuzhu could also make money... Your father and I can at least afford the medicine." Mrs. Liu saw her hesitation and cursed in her heart, but she still held it back for the sake of the next plan.
.
"Yes, sister, the Shen family's food stall makes so much money, just teach me. When our family becomes prosperous, my brother can still support you." Wang Erzhu agreed from the side.
"But the Shen family hasn't been separated yet, so I can't make the decision." Mrs. Wang wanted to help her mother's family, but she was afraid that Mrs. Zhang would blame her.
"I'm going to sell somewhere farther away. I won't compete with the Shen family for business. If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who else will know about this?"
"Besides, sister, you can't bear the thought of your parents ruining their bodies like this. Can't your nephew have enough to eat?"
Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it, she was a popular and popular member of the Shen family, and she couldn't just sit back and watch her family suffer.
"Then you promise me, sister, you will definitely stay away from the Shen family's stall."
"necessary!"
The eggs that Wang brought were left behind by her younger siblings. After hearing the prescription, Wang Erzhu asked her to go home early on the grounds that there was no food in the house. Wang was worried all the way and always felt uneasy.
If Mrs. Zhang found out, she didn't dare think about the consequences.
…
When Jiang Miao went out, she bumped into Mrs. Wang who was coming back. She was carrying a basket and was distracted.
"Sister-in-law, are uncle and aunt okay?"
"Ah," Mrs. Wang suddenly came back to her senses when she heard the greeting.
"Very good, very good."
Mrs. Wang's lips made a nod as she hurriedly entered the courtyard.
Jiang Miao frowned slightly, always feeling that her sister-in-law was a little guilty.
But she didn't take it to heart, she just thought Wang was too tired from the journey.
The hot summer is over and autumn is coming.
The leaves of the trees on the roadside were turning yellow, and the road that had just rained was muddy. Jiang Miao picked up a clean spot while holding up her skirt.
The town of Furong was bustling with people. When she arrived at the city gate, she was almost hit by a speeding carriage. Fortunately, the woman next to her gave her a hand, otherwise she would definitely have been injured.
"Bah! Are you racing horses on the street, waiting to be reincarnated?" The woman had a fierce temper and spat at the carriage that was traveling away.
"Mother, please be careful of your mouth. Those are the carriages and horses of the Sun family. Shopkeeper Sun knows the nobles in the capital, and even the county magistrate has to respect you. If they hear about it, be careful to drag you to fight!"
The vendor next to her looked panicked and quickly stopped the woman who wanted to continue scolding her.
In ancient times, people were most afraid of meeting the official. When they heard that the person in the carriage had some background, they were afraid that they would come back and cause trouble for them. The woman hurried home with the vegetable basket, not forgetting to give Jiang Miao instructions before leaving.
"Little lady, please leave here quickly!"
Jiang Miao came to ancient times and faced power for the first time. Before, Lin Yun was just a young lady of the same age who could not make trouble, but for a real powerful person, if she accidentally provoked her, she would be killed.
She felt panicked and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was still just a country woman. In the future, when she met these noble people, she would go as far as she could.
Jinxiu Pavilion has now become famous for its fragrant pearl business. There are always people at the door. Even though shopkeeper Qin said that all the fragrant pearls have been sold out, ladies and ladies still come to visit every day.
Who doesn't know that Jinxiu Pavilion has a purchase limit, and even the county magistrate's wife doesn't want to buy more. If they don't come here every day to keep an eye on it, they will have been robbed by the time the fragrant beads arrive.
The small shop was crowded with people, and shopkeeper Qin was radiant, entertaining a group of the richest people in Furong Town.
There are so many guests in Jinxiu Pavilion now that shopkeeper Qin can't take care of them himself, so he hired two more maids.
"Chunmei, Chunhua, you are waiting for the guests outside."
"I know, shopkeeper." At this time, the store was full of people buying handkerchiefs and sachets, and the two of them could handle it.
Jiang Miao and Shopkeeper Qin entered the backyard, drank a cup of tea to calm down their breath, and opened the bundle under Shopkeeper Qin's eager eyes.
"This time, the fragrance beads have more flavors. In addition to rose and orchid fragrances, I also made floral and fruit fragrances." She previously picked part of the apricots to make apricot preserves, and squeezed the juice from the rest to make fragrance beads.
Unlike the floral scent, the fruity scent is sweeter and is suitable for younger ladies.
Shopkeeper Qin smelled it and said, "Well, it smells good. My daughter will definitely like it."
