Unlike modern times where there are lights everywhere, it can be said that it is really hard to see the five fingers on the country roads in ancient times.
Zhuqing felt that his ability to return home smoothly was entirely thanks to his perfect sense of direction and memory.
"Sister, sister!" In the dim shadow of the oil lamp, Zhushan rushed over almost immediately.
"Sister, why are you back now? I went to the village entrance to see you several times today. Are you too busy with work today?" As soon as the little Zhushan opened his mouth, he had the potential to be a warm man.
Zhuqing stretched out her hand and patted him on the head reassuringly: "My work today is not bad, my sister has other things to do."
"Sister, what's going on? By the way, sister, you haven't had dinner yet, right? I specially left some cornmeal pancakes for you. I asked my mother to warm them in the pot for you! Eat it quickly!" Although the Zhushan native is young,
, which is quite thoughtful.
"I'm so exhausted, I want to drink some water." Zhu Qing licked her dry lips. She was rushing all the way and didn't even take a sip of water. Now she just wanted to drink some water first.
"Okay, I'll pour it for you!" Zhushan quickly turned around and poured water for her.
"Qingya, you're finally back. Why are you back so late today? Do you know that I'm dying of anxiety!" Seeing Zhuqing, Wang, who was sitting next to the oil lamp mending clothes, was happy and annoyed at the same time.
She was happy that her daughter finally got home safely. She was annoyed that her daughter arrived home so late, which made her anxious and worried for most of the day.
"If you don't come back, I'm going to go to the village to find someone to help me find you!"
"Mom, I dug some thistles and sold them in the town. Look, this is the money I got from selling them!" Although Zhu Qing was tired, she was in a good mood.
Together with the wages paid in cash by Doctor Qian's family, she received seventy cents today.
"Fifty cents? Why so much?" Mrs. Wang stood up to scoop porridge and tortillas for her daughter and looked over. When she saw the fifty cents in Zhu Qing's hand, she couldn't help but exclaimed.
"This is still a bit deducted, otherwise it would be more." Zhu Qing briefly told the story of how he sold thistles, and then sat down to have dinner.
She had been busy all day today, and she had only just sat down now. She felt pain in the bones all over her body.
Tired, really too tired.
"Oh, that old man from Liangji Pharmacy is a good man! I even went to him to get medicine on credit before!" Wang couldn't help but sigh when Zhuqing mentioned Liangji Pharmacy.
"Mom, have you been to Liang Ji's drug store? Mr. Liang Ji is so nice, why does that drug store seem to have little business?" Zhu Qing was a little puzzled.
It stands to reason that if the owner of Liangji Drug Store is friendly to the people and the drug prices are reasonable, business will only be good.
"Hey, I don't know about this. Maybe he is too nice! I heard that everyone used to go to him for credit and had no money to pay back. The boss almost couldn't survive. So now he doesn't
Why did you pay on credit?" Wang said feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Speaking of which, it seems that our family still owes him about fifty cents for medicine..." She said and her voice lowered involuntarily.
Zhuqing couldn't help but feel embarrassed after hearing this.
Previously, she heard the old man from Liang Ji say that his medicine was not available on credit, and she felt that he was a little unkind.
Only then did I realize that it turned out that the other person was justified in saying that.
When I thought about how he introduced Wang Family Medical Center to me, I felt even more that the old gentleman was a very nice and kind person.
However, the young man at the Wang Family Medical Center seemed a little too shrewd. Zhu Qing considered whether to deal with him next time.
She heard him mention the drug market before, and she thought it was best for her to find out where the drug market was. If she had a chance, she would go to the drug market to take a look.
"Mom, when we have more money, let's pay back the medicine we owe?" Zhuqing suggested.
"Well, I must pay it back." Wang nodded.
"It's not that Shan'er has been taking medicine, and the family doesn't have much income, so it's been postponed until now." She said and glanced at Zhu Qing, who was sweating profusely.
"Qingya, I, I hope we have collected enough money, otherwise we should go and pay back the Wu family's money..." Before Wang could finish her words, she was rejected by Zhuqing.
"Mom, hasn't dad already paid back his family's money? Besides, there is no IOU. Why should we pay back?" Zhu Qing was not willing to encourage the Wu family's arrogance.
You have obviously paid back the money, why do you still listen to them and pay back interest that is not real?
"Qingya, you don't know. The Wu family is not easy to mess with. I'm afraid of what might happen. You came back late today, and I thought you were kidnapped by them..." Wang said with fear on her face.
She was really anxious when her daughter didn't arrive home before. But there was a sick little son at home, and she couldn't leave.
"Mom, it won't happen. Didn't Grandpa Li Zheng warn them? They don't have an IOU, so why should they arrest me?" Seeing that the Wang family was still entangled in the Wu family's affairs, Zhu Qing couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Doesn’t Mr. Wang seem to be too timid and afraid of getting into trouble?
Looking at her innocent daughter, Mrs. Wang sighed, thought for a while, and finally expressed her worries: "The Wu family is not a reasonable family. My mother is not afraid of them coming to quarrel head-on, but she is afraid that they will come to slander her."
Yes, I will take you away and sell you directly."
Wang's words suddenly alerted Zhuqing. Indeed, this was ancient times and was completely incomparable with her modern legal society.
What Wang said is not impossible.
She didn't want to be packaged and sold out of nowhere.
She handled the last incident too hastily. Since the Wu family is famous for being rogues, how could they just let it go so easily?
It seems that she took it too much for granted.
However, we don’t know what they will do now, and speaking of preparedness, it seems impossible to be prepared.
Zhuqing couldn't help but frown.
Then, she remembered the initiator of this incident.
Ever since Wu Liang's family came to cause trouble, her father Sun Fucheng seems to have never shown up.
This doesn't seem normal, right?
Logically speaking, if such a big thing happened in the family, as the head of the family, he would come back to take a look, right?
Last time, he just heard that his younger brother Zhushan might be in poor health, so he rushed back overnight. There was no way he didn't hear any news this time!
Moreover, Wu Liang's family came to the house and made trouble but failed, so they shouldn't let him go, right?
Besides, although it's far from the town to home, it's not so far that we can't go back home, right? Zhuqing herself walked back and forth today.
"Mom, let's talk to my father about this and discuss it," Zhu Qing tried to express his thoughts.
"No. Your father finally found a good host this time who can provide him with food and accommodation. Let's wait until he comes back from work before telling him! Otherwise, he will leave in the middle of the work and just take it.
I don’t have enough wages.” Wang’s answer left Zhuqing speechless.
