"No, this is a folk remedy that was told to me by my uncle at Qian's Pharmacy." Zhu Qing did not say this time that it was Dr. Qian who taught it.
She had only been working at Doctor Qian's house for two days, and she had already taken action almost five times. Five times, she blamed Doctor Qian. There were too many coincidences.
"I happened to find mint medicine in the pharmacy that day. The uncle mentioned it casually, and I remembered it." Zhu Qing added again.
"Well, Qingya, you are good. You have to be so smart outside!" Regarding his daughter's answer, Sun Fucheng had no doubt that he was there. He was very pleased with his daughter's growth and understanding. Zhuqing's answer made him very happy.
satisfy.
"It's getting late. Qingya has to go to work at Qian's house tomorrow! Everyone, go to bed early!" Ms. Wang began to urge them to sleep.
Amidst the chirping of summer insects, Zhu Qing finally fell asleep with exhaustion.
Changyuan County, Zhou family, looking at the paper in his hand, Mr. Zhou shook his head slightly at his eldest son Zhou Zhengnan: "Where does this come from? If you don't study hard, why do you worry about this?"
Zhou Zhengnan was quite unconvinced: "Dad, the Wu family is such a bully in a bad town. Besides, the daughter of the farmer they beat was the one who saved my grandmother. He is kind to our Zhou family!"
"
"Oh? Is there such a thing? The little girl's father was the one who was beaten? Then why did the Wu family target their family? Their family didn't have much money to scrape!" Mr. Zhou also had some concerns about the Wu family's misdeeds.
Heard.
However, in his impression, the Wu family seemed to have set their sights on their target. A poor family like the Zhuqing family, which obviously had no money to draw from, would generally not become their target.
Mr. Zhou heard Mrs. Zhou mention Zhuqing's rescue of Mrs. Zhou. He knew that the person who saved his mother was a poor country girl, but he refused to accept the money from their family.
For this reason, he also specifically asked Mrs. Zhou to thank her properly and give her more practical food as compensation.
When he knew that the girl wanted to go to Qian's house to help pay for the medical treatment, he also specifically communicated with Dr. Qian Bingren and asked him to take care of the girl.
Considering that the news that the old lady suddenly became critically ill on the way home would be harmful to his family, he ordered his people to suppress the matter.
I think the Wu family didn't know that the girl was under their care, so they took action?
Or did the Wu family do it deliberately after being instructed by others?
If it is the former, it can only mean that the Wu family has become more and more resorting to evil deeds. If it is the latter, then the Wu family is very determined and the Zhou family will never tolerate it.
Mr. Zhou pondered for a long time before nodding: "Forget it, the Wu family is an evil side and is notorious. It's time to let them stop."
He just wanted to stand up for the Zhuqing family and deal with the Wu family.
Zhou Zhengnan beamed with joy when he heard this: "That's great! Dad, you should have done this a long time ago!"
Mr. Zhou had a serious face when he heard this: "You brat, do you still want to teach me how to do things? Go back to study! Don't meddle in other people's business next time!"
"Yes!" Zhou Zhengnan saw that he was getting serious, so he immediately stopped and turned around and left his study.
"Old Ding, what do you think the Wu family is planning to do this time?" After Zhou Zhengnan left, Mr. Zhou called to the coachman who followed him out, Old Ding, and asked with a frown.
Old Ding was standing in front of him now, his waist straight like a javelin.
Hearing Mr. Zhou ask him, he pondered for a while and then said: "The Wu family has always been unwilling to make early gains. In my opinion, when they came to Miss Zhuqing's family, it was not as simple as borrowing debts and paying back money.
.If they just borrowed money and repaid the money, they might not be able to get much money even if they sold Miss Zhuqing's whole family.
I heard Li Zheng from Cuizhu Village say that the Wu family's mother-in-law rushed over immediately, and her target was Miss Zhuqing!"
Hearing Old Ding's analysis, Mr. Zhou's brows furrowed more and more.
"The old lady suddenly became seriously ill that day. Have you found out anything suspicious?" Speaking of this, his voice lowered unconsciously.
Old Ding hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's not me, it's the young master. The young master said that although the old lady had a cough before, Aunt Dingxiang took good care of her along the way. She never had any attacks. That day we went to see Doctor Qian.
, it was just a matter of asking him to check the old lady’s pulse as usual. Who would have thought that the old lady would suddenly have such a severe attack and almost die!
Miss Zhuqing who saved the old lady kindly reminded Aunt Dingxiang that the old lady had better not eat pastries, glutinous rice food and other things that can easily get stuck in the throat. This means that the old lady must have eaten some inappropriate food that day, which caused the gas.
The road is blocked. We don't know if there is any hidden meaning in this. It is said that the wife wanted to punish the girls who followed the old lady out, but the old lady blocked them all."
After Lao Ding finished speaking, Mr. Zhou's brows furrowed even more tightly.
It's not like he didn't hear Mrs. Zhou complaining to him privately, saying that the old lady was too stubborn and too partial to his younger brother, which caused her to have a lot of constraints when it came to housekeeping.
However, he has never interfered much in these affairs of the inner house. Now it seems that he has to pay attention to it.
If the Wu family dealt with the Zhu Qing family based on someone else's instructions, then it must be that other person's interests were hindered by Zhu Qing.
But Zhuqing is a country girl who has nothing to do with Wu Jiafeng before. Who can she hinder?
The only thing she had done before was to save Mrs. Zhou.
Thinking from this perspective, the person behind it definitely has deep interests entangled with the Zhou family.
Moreover, that person did it in such a secretive manner that no one could find any reliable evidence. It completely made the Zhou family suffer a loss!
After some deep thought, Mr. Zhou's eyes couldn't help but become cold and sharp.
"Has the eldest lady investigated it?" he asked Lao Ding.
In name, Lao Ding is just the coachman of the Zhou family. In fact, he is one of the very few confidants who has the absolute trust of Mr. Zhou. Almost nothing about the family can be hidden from Lao Ding.
"Yeah, but the eldest lady was concerned about the old lady, so she didn't make a big fuss about it. Instead, she checked it in private. At that time, none of the girls at the old lady's place found anything wrong. The eldest lady didn't want to inquire further."
Mr. Zhou was silent when he heard this. If his wife wanted to touch the people around her mother, it would definitely not be possible without enough evidence.
Even if you have to check it yourself, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
My mother had been in charge of the Zhou family's business for many years, and her power still lingered. She was also headstrong and devoted herself to protecting her younger brother, fearing that she and her husband would make decisions that were detrimental to his younger brother.
In this situation, he, the current head of the Zhou family, is the only one who has a huge headache. In the eyes of outsiders, the Zhou family is naturally a scene of blooming flowers.
