"No! My sister-in-law and I have never met each other. Doctor Qian told me to come over and help him!" Zhu Qing replied.
Although she felt in her heart that coming to the pharmacy was not a bad thing for her, but now that one or two people said this, Zhu Qing couldn't help but feel wary.
As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others.
My sister-in-law is a stranger to me. According to common sense, there is no need to prank her. But why doesn't she arrange for herself to do what common sense says a little girl should do, but let her go to the pharmacy to do the chore of lighting a fire? How about lighting a fire?
If so, you can also make it in the kitchen!
Gao's sister-in-law didn't know the purpose of her coming to Doctor Qian's house.
Then there may be only one reason. The seemingly kind-hearted sister-in-law who arranged for her to come to the pharmacy was simply harboring evil intentions!
As for how the other party wanted to harm her, Zhu Qing felt that there were only two aspects. One was to look at her thinness and make her bear a workload that she could not bear, thus wearing her down.
One is to use some tricks on those medicines to frame her.
Zhuqing intuitively judged that she should be the first one, because the person who harmed her would be too stupid to use the second method. It is not worth losing a pot of medicine for a little girl like her.
Subconsciously, Zhuqing felt that Gao's sister-in-law treated her like this because of Doctor Qian's instructions.
She accidentally saved the old lady of the Zhou family that day, and it could be said that she indirectly slapped Dr. Qian, a famous local doctor, in the face. Because of this, the doctor held a grudge against her, and it was possible that he deliberately tried to trick her.
Hearing Zhuqing say that she was arranged by Dr. Qian for Mrs. Gao, Jinyuyan glanced at her with pity, then shook his head, lowered his head and sighed: "Then I don't think you will be able to leave this pharmacy in your life..."
"
"I will do it for half a year, and I will go back after half a year!" Zhu Qing deliberately pretended not to understand what he said, and said innocently.
"Half a year? I don't think you can survive three days!" Jinyuyan couldn't help but frown when he heard her say that she would go back in half a year.
"I'm considered to be in good health. I've been through it for half a month, but you can see that I'm like this. With your little body, you still have half a year? You can't stand it in such a hot day!"
"What are you talking about? Don't take a break, right? Don't take too much rest, then add fuel to my fire! The master is waiting for this batch of medicine!" I don't know if it was their voices that woke up Zhong.
Uncle, he sat up from the shabby seat and pointed a finger at the goldfish eye.
"You're the only one who has a lot of things to do! Come and see the stove tonight!" With one sentence, Goldfish Eyes wailed.
Seeing this, Zhu Qing said nothing, stood up, walked to the big iron pot, and buried himself in adding firewood.
"Girl, go and bring half a bucket of well water! I need to wipe my sweat!" Uncle Zhong saw that she was adding fuel to the fire, so he told her to carry the water.
Zhuqing went out carrying a tin bucket and found that on this July day, the outside of the house was much more comfortable than the inside.
When she followed the path directed by Uncle Zhong and walked to the well platform, she felt as if her whole body had come to life.
After fetching the water, she poured some water on her face and quickly returned with the bucket.
Seeing her come back so quickly, Uncle Zhong seemed a little surprised and muttered in a low voice: "This girl can't even let her be lazy..."
Only then did Zhuqing realize that Uncle Zhong was trying another way to let her take a break.
She couldn't help but secretly feel grateful to him.
The afternoon is longer than the morning, so there is naturally more work to do.
By the time Zhuqing finished work and planned to go back, she felt as if she had been fished out of the water.
"Here, your wages!" She was about to go out, but was stopped by her sister-in-law.
"It's hot in the pharmacy, and the wages are higher than other jobs. Our wages are all paid in cash. It's ten cents a day, and this is yours today!" When Gao's sister-in-law gave her the money, she was as natural and kind as in the morning.
"Sister-in-law Gao, I came here to work to pay off the debt, so I don't need the wages, right?" Zhu Qing didn't expect to get any wages, so she quickly refused.
"My master told me to give it to you. Just keep it! If you want to repay the master's debt, tell him yourself." Sister-in-law Gao was just doing business.
Zhuqing did not refuse, so he would accept it first and then talk about it.
On the way home, Zhuqing randomly picked some mugwort and calamus on the roadside. She planned to go back and light the calamus at night to smoke mosquitoes. She planned to collect more mugwort and dry it in the sun to see if she could exchange it for some money.
By the time she got home, it was already dark.
"Qingya, are you exhausted from work today? Come sit down and eat! I made white rice porridge for you today." Zhuqing Queen Wang saw her daughter coming home and hurriedly greeted her.
"It's okay. Not too tired." Zhu Qing sat down on the wooden stool and rubbed his sore legs.
There was already a plate of dried radish, a plate of pickles, and two bowls of white rice porridge on the table.
The thin Zhushan was already sitting at the table waiting for her.
"Sister, eat quickly! The white rice porridge is delicious. I'll wait for you to eat it together!" The little guy was obviously hungry too, looking at Zhu Qing expectantly.
White rice porridge is already considered a good thing for him. Zhu Qing couldn't help but want to shake his head.
"Qingya, what did you bring back?" Mrs. Wang saw Zhuqing casually placing mugwort and calamus beside the door.
"This is mugwort and calamus. If you burn it at night, it can drive away mosquitoes." Zhu Qing answered casually.
"There are so many of these things in the wild, and they have such a use? Qingya, how do you know?" Wang couldn't help but be curious.
"I heard from Doctor Qian's family that they all use this to drive away mosquitoes." Zhu Qing used this excuse without any pressure.
"Oh. Qingya, what kind of work are you doing at their house today?" Wang asked Zhuqing to sit down, and then brought a bowl of potato porridge to eat with her siblings.
"Help light the fire!" Zhu Qing didn't want Wang to worry, so he didn't specify where to light the fire.
"Oh, that's okay, it's just a bit too hot." Wang didn't think much after hearing this. For children of Zhuqing's age, it's common for farmers to have a fire at home to cook.
Compared with working in the fields, lighting a fire is already an easy job.
After eating a bowl of warm white rice porridge, Zhu Qing felt much better in his stomach.
Although she had rice at noon, after an afternoon of hard work, the bowl of rice was no longer enough.
Moreover, this body is also at the time of growth and development, so it is easy to get hungry.
"Did Zhushan take good medicine today?" she asked her brother opposite who was still licking the bottom of the bowl.
"Take it. It's just that the medicine is too bitter." Zhushan's little face wrinkled when she heard her mention taking medicine.
"Mom, I have ten cents here. You can buy some maltose for Zhushan tomorrow." She remembered that she still had the wages from her sister-in-law in her pocket.
Hearing Zhuqing talk about money, Wang was a little surprised, "Where did you get the money?"
