If you don't work hard to farm the fields, you will inherit the throne with the prince.

Chapter 16 The Sturdy Pearl
Xie Mingzhu came out of the pharmacy with Qin Che carrying the medicine.

"Qin Che, let's find a way to make money!"

You can't make money if you don't make money!

I can't even afford medicine without money!

Not to mention that parents got so little food when they separated. If she and Qin Che ate up all the food their parents got, would they take their parents to beg for food?

Qin Che echoed, "My lady, how do you want to make money?"

Xie Mingzhu looked at the medicinal materials in her hand, and said, "How about we grow medicinal materials and sell them?"

This season, there may be wild honeysuckle in the mountains.

Honeysuckle has tenacious vitality, so it should not be difficult to plant.

It is also possible to make honeysuckle dew!
There are also bamboo forests in front of and behind every house in Xiejia Village. Bamboo shoots can be eaten, and fresh bamboo can also be made into fresh bamboo juice.

There is Houttuynia cordata by the stream. Houttuynia cordata is not only edible, but also can be made into oral liquid of Houttuynia cordata.

"Grow medicinal materials for sale?" Qin Che asked.

Xie Mingzhu shook the medicinal materials in her hand, and said in a rather calm tone: "This little medicinal material costs ten taels of silver. We can't look down on illnesses, let alone other poor families. If they are sick, don't we just Can you wait to die? How can you not get sick when you are alive? If you are sick, you have no money to buy medicine, so you can only wait to die! This is too cruel..."

Xie Mingzhu couldn't help feeling that the era she lived in was better.

When she was a poverty alleviation cadre, all poor households had medical insurance.

Here, it is not realistic to promote medical insurance, but she can at least reduce the cost of medicinal materials so that ordinary people can afford medical treatment and medicine.

Qin Che looked at Xie Mingzhu's round face and asked, "Then what do I need?"

Xie Mingzhu looked at Qin Che's sickness, and said heartily, "You can take care of your health."

Xie Mingzhu thought in her mind that it was not enough to just listen to what Qin Che said about the outside situation, she had to know the outside situation by herself.

It is definitely not possible to get honeysuckle dew and fresh bamboo juice directly in one step.

Get the medicinal materials first, and then open the factory when you have them.

Take your time, no rush!
Xie Mingzhu and Qin Che walked slowly on the bluestone road in Fengxiang Town.

From afar, I saw Taohuaniang covering her chest with her hands, and running away in a hurry.

Xie Laosan, with bare arms and a stick in his hand, chased after Taohuaniang, and he couldn't help but beat him violently.

"Smelly bitch, run for me! If you run again, I will break your leg!"

Peach Blossom whimpered and cried.

Peach Blossom is indeed very pitiful.

She chose Xie Laosan, which is just a microcosm of most women in this era.

Their thoughts were imprisoned, thinking that marrying this man is the man's person.

Can't resist, don't know how to resist.

Even though Xie Mingzhu hated her misfortune and was angry with her, she couldn't stand by and watch.

"Thank you, third child, stop!"

Seeing Xie Mingzhu and Qin Che, Xie Lao San cursed and said, "Never mind your business!"

Xie Mingzhu knew that a man like Xie Laosan was a bully.

She stuffed the medicinal materials into Qin Che's arms, and picked up a bamboo pole from the door of the merchant under the eaves.

Regardless, he rushed in front of Xie Laosan, and said fiercely, "Peach Blossom, you sold it to me, have you forgotten?"

"It's not that you don't want her?" Xie Laosan was confident.

Xie Mingzhu held the pole and said fiercely: "Her contract of prostitution is in my hands."

If they were to be in Xiejia Village, Xie Lao San might be a little more afraid of Xie Mingzhu.

After all, Xie Mingzhu has three older brothers, and he can't beat them alone.

But this time... As for Xie Mingzhu and her sick son-in-law, Xie Laosan is not shy at all.

"I beat my wife, don't meddle in your own business!"

Xie Mingzhu knew that she was fat and had difficulty moving.

Taking advantage of Xie Laosan's cannonball, she swung the pole fiercely and hit Xie Laosan's legs.

Xie Lao San didn't react and was knocked to the ground.

Xie Mingzhu seized the right time and continued beating Xie Lao San with a pole.

"Xie Lao San, I didn't go to the government to sue you for abducting my servant, it's because you and I are the same thanks! How dare you be so arrogant in front of me? Who gave you face?"

Qin Che had never seen a girl as tough as Xie Mingzhu, so he couldn't help not being afraid, but looked at Xie Mingzhu with bright eyes.

On the contrary, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy heard the commotion outside, went out to have a look, and almost fainted.

This……

This……

This……

Finished!

Why did the master marry such a fierce mistress?
Xie Mingzhu was relieved by the beating, and Tao Huaniang saw her man being beaten up like this by Xie Mingzhu, and in an instant she threw herself on Xie Laosan's body with great distress, and forcibly took a burden for Xie Laosan.

"Mingzhu, Mingzhu, stop hitting!"

Xie Mingzhu hated that the iron could not be made into steel to gather the pole.

The body is too weak.

After only a few swings, I was out of breath.

She used the handle as a crutch, looked at Peach Blossom Niang who fell on Xie Laosan, and said, "Peach Blossom Mother, come with me!"

"If you don't tell me, can I leave?"

Xie Mingzhu said angrily, "I've changed my mind."

Seeing Xie Mingzhu beaten up like this by Xie Mingzhu, Tao Huaniang was afraid and cowardly.

Xie Mingzhu thought, Taohuaniang was lucky to meet her and Qin Che in Fengxiang Town today, if she and Qin Che hadn't met, Taohuaniang would have been beaten to death sooner or later.

"If you don't want to come with me, I'll report to the officials that Xie Laosan kidnapped you and send Xie Laosan to jail."

Xie Lao San didn't want to go to jail, he pushed Tao Hua Niang away, and yelled: "Go away, you unlucky bastard, let me crawl!"

Xie Mingzhu really didn't want to see Taohuaniang showing affection for such a good-for-nothing like Xie Laosan.

She said fiercely: "Hurry up!"

Only then did Taohuaniang get up from the ground reluctantly, and came to Xie Mingzhu's side step by step.

Xie Mingzhu returned the pole to the place where it was taken, and thanked in a hoarse voice.

"Thank you for the pole."

Qin Che stepped forward and walked side by side with Xie Mingzhu.

Xie Mingzhu took the medicine package from Qin Che and asked, "Am I fat?"

Qin Che: "..."

How would he answer this question?

"I'm too fat to move around. I need to be thinner."

The third Xie was beaten hard by Xie Mingzhu. He struggled on the ground a few times but failed to get up.

After finally getting up from the ground, just when he was about to hit Xie Mingzhu hard with a stick, a group of thugs who didn't know where they came from all stepped forward, dragged Xie Laosan aside, punched and kicked.

Fengxiang Town is not far from Xiejia Village, but because Fengxiang Town is at the foot of the mountain and Xiejia Village is on the mountainside, when Xie Mingzhu struggled to climb back to Xiejia Village, half of her life was lost.

The things pulled by the bullock carts are all placed in the yard one by one.

Qin Che and Xie Mingzhu came back, and the three Xie family brothers were busy putting these things into the house one by one according to Qin Che's instructions.

Xie Mingzhu was so tired that her heart was on her back, not to mention her brothers who had been helping to carry things and pack things.

Mrs. Zhao had already come to Xie Mingzhu's house to help cook the house, and also brought Zhu Yeqing to prepare the meal.

"Mingzhu is back? Are you tired?!" Mrs. Zhao took a bowl of warm water, handed it to Xie Mingzhu, and said distressedly, "Come on, drink some water, and we'll be eating in a while."

Just when everyone was preparing to eat, Xia Manxing's parents escorted Xia Manxing to Zhao Shi.

"In-law, I brought this ignorant girl back to you!"
