Everyone present was startled, what he said was true...
Look, look, this woman is so weird! Manager Cao, who was standing behind the crowd, shouted in his heart.
The three men were also stunned, especially the one who spoke, whose neck turned red.
"I, I, I didn't..." he said silently.
"You do." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
People around him were stunned again.
"You...if you have money, you can bully others..." This man didn't talk much to women every day, let alone argue with such a little lady. He was angry, anxious and didn't know what to say.
"You don't have money, and you can't bully others." Cheng Jiaoniang still said calmly.
People around looked up at the sky and wanted to sigh.
With such childlike and unreasonable behavior, Mr. Chen Si suddenly believed that the wife of the Cheng family had become a silly child, although he still did not believe that silly children's disease could be cured.
"Bangchui!" The leading man slapped the man on the head, knocking him down.
The man rushed to the girl and kowtowed again.
"I don't say thank you for a great favor. Write down the kindness and you will repay it in the future." He said, "Please leave your name, ma'am."
While talking here, there was another commotion, and two men rushed over carrying the door panel.
"Brother, big brother." they shouted.
This scene shocked everyone present. Could it be that the patient was dying again?
The three men also stood up quickly.
"What?" they asked in unison.
The man ran closer, panting.
"Third brother insisted on coming to thank me in person," they said.
Only then did everyone see the man on the door panel with his eyes open. After putting it on the ground, he tried to sit up, but finally fell back to no avail. Several men hurriedly gathered around him.
"It's a waste of my life. I don't know how to be a benefactor..." The man on the door panel said intermittently in a low voice.
"On behalf of my brother, I kowtow to the lady to express my gratitude." The man who was called the eldest brother immediately knelt down again and kowtowed to the lady three times.
Cheng Jiaoniang accepted his gift.
"You have no money?" she then asked.
Still want money?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and now even Mr. Chen Si couldn't stand it any longer, so he was about to speak. Cheng Jiaoniang raised her head and looked around, as if she was looking for something.
"Where's the steward from the Zhou family?" she asked.
Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at Manager Cao.
It's not safe to hide behind others, so why are you looking for me again? Manager Cao didn't dare to neglect and came over in a hurry.
"Madam?" he asked, "If you don't have money, do you want to injure him again?"
Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. If there is no money, the goods will naturally be taken back. If there is no money, the cured disease will be restored to its original state. It is a matter of course, children and old men are not deceived, and the Zhou family inherits it.
Although Manager Cao lowered his voice, the people around him still heard it. The men suddenly changed their expressions and became a little angry.
So, rich people are bullies who know how to bully others...
"You, the Zhou family, are so well-educated?" Cheng Jiaoniang looked at Cao Guanmu and said.
Manager Cao raised his hand and slapped himself.
Damn, talk too much!
"They don't have money. You, give them some money." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, to be exact, they couldn't be more stunned.
Listening to the lady talk, it was really full of ups and downs, full of emotions and desires.
Without saying a word, Manager Cao took the money bag from his waist and handed it to the man.
"How, how can this be done?" The man was also shocked and waved his hands away, "How can I ask for my wife's money?"
"He temporarily saved his life, but in the end, it depends on his support." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "If you want a lot of fish and meat, don't you have money? How will you support him?"
It turned out that this was why she kept asking if she had any money.
The men only felt their hearts burning and their faces flushed.
"Kowtow to my wife with a stick." The man raised his hand and slapped himself hard, then knelt down and kowtowed.
The force was so fierce that anyone standing close felt the ground shaking, and soon the man's forehead was bruised.
Cheng Jiaoniang ignored her and helped her maid get into the car.
Manager Cao didn't want to stay here for a moment and hurriedly mounted his horse. Mr. Chen Si verified that the woman's medical skills were indeed miraculous and he couldn't wait to return to the capital to save his father. At that moment, everyone did not stop and the convoy galloped away.
As this group of people left, the inn immediately became deserted. The men stood there, watching the motorcade on the road gradually turn into black spots.
The leading man lowered his head and looked at the money bag in his hand, then raised his hand and handed it to the person beside him.
"Take it," he said.
"I'm going to the city to buy beef, mutton, fish and meat." The man replied and started to run away, but was held by the man with one hand.
"Don't buy that, buy a chariot and a horse." The man said, "I want the best chariot and horse."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Brother, there is no rush to go at this time, it is more important for the third child to recover from his illness," everyone said.
"I have to travel just to recover from my illness." The man said, looking at the official road, "Nothing good to eat or drink can compare to the peace of mind of following that lady."
That lady, a man who was about to die got better overnight. Following her is the best medicine in the world.
Everyone was suddenly stunned and responded with a roar.
Another day of galloping, the night was thick, and only two horses could walk on the mountain path. The torches held high formed a curved shadow in the mountains.
"Master Cao, I can't do it anymore. Let's take a rest. It's too dark and we are walking slower and slower." Someone shouted from the front.
Manager Cao immediately asked someone to question Cheng Jiaoniang.
"Aren't you going to ask Mr. Chen?" the attendant asked.
"This is our wife, she is here for medical treatment." Manager Cao said, "Who is asking whom?"
The follower pouted.
Your wife, you don’t even dare to come close to me...
Cheng Jiaoniang quickly agreed to take a rest.
The followers of the Zhou family came from the army, so camping in the wild was easy for them. The tents and bonfires were quickly set up. Although the night breeze was cool, Cheng Jiaoniang still sat by the bonfire and took a short rest.
They were the only masters and servants beside the bonfire, and the others avoided them. Mr. Chen Si stepped forward to say a few words of greetings.
"Madam, would you like some wine?" Mr. Chen Si smiled.
"Thank you." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "I won't drink."
As expected, a few of the women were able to drink, and Mr. Chen Si took it back with a smile.
"How sure are you about my father's illness?" He hesitated but couldn't help but ask.
"You are very lucky." Cheng Jiaoniang said, holding a stick in her hand to start the fire. "If it had been left half a month ago, it would have been hopeless."
That means there is still hope. Master Chen Si was overjoyed when he heard this. After all, there are differences between men and women. He said a few polite words and walked away.
"Madam, what you said just now is wrong." The maid said with a bit of confusion, "This time, I can't understand."
Cheng Jiaoniang always spoke simply and didn't say much. Fortunately, the maid could always understand the meaning of the few words she said and didn't ask too many questions. It seemed that she really didn't understand this time.
"Shouldn't we say that if we delay for another half month, there will be no hope?" The maidservant sat on her knees and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang and asked.
Cheng Jiaoniang held a fire stick in her hand and held a flower, raising tiny sparks.
"For half a month, I can't even walk a few steps. It's such a long journey in a carriage. I will die before I even get to the capital." She said, "How can I save others?"
The maid suddenly understood and couldn't help laughing.
"Madam, your ideas are so strange." The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to laugh, and she simply started giggling.
It seems that the answer is always wrong, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. It is really weird and interesting.
She sat on the mat and looked at the lady's profile by the firelight. The big hood covered her face, and only her small chin was visible.
Here the master and the servants were sitting quietly, while over there the servants who were sitting around drinking suddenly stood up.
"Someone is coming," they said.
There are actually people traveling in the middle of the night? They can’t be bandits, right?
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, with guns and crossbows in their hands in offensive and defensive postures. (To be continued)
