Chapter 72

Mrs. Zhou glanced at Mrs. Huang on the kang, "My family has no money, why don't we owe it first?"

Shopkeeper Xu rolled his eyes at him, "The amount is too big, I can't make the decision, and our pharmacy doesn't have such rules."

"Then give my son and daughter-in-law good medicine, and the others use ordinary medicine. It's just that for this money, you have to wait two days."

Shopkeeper Xu didn't hum. What he just said fell on deaf ears.

Finally, Mrs. Huang spoke, "Take all the good medicine, and I'll ask the girl to get you money."

"Okay. From now on, I will go to the town to change the medicine once a month. The medicine will cost three taels of silver each time. It will cost five times. Should I go there and give it separately, or pay it together?"

"Settling together."

Shopkeeper Xu calculated in his mind, seventeen people, 170 taels, plus the subsequent medicine expenses.

"420 five taels!"

Huang's girl handed over the banknote and some scattered silver, and then the doctor began to treat him.

Others don't know, but Huang Wei knows that the medicine is exclusive to Minsheng Pharmacy. It has good curative effect and fast recovery. That's why fools like the Yang family only want to save money.

Besides, those dozen strong men were all the Huang family's bodyguards, so she couldn't even tell her parents if anything happened.

Not only must they use good medicine, but they must also be allowed to recover quickly and provided with good food and drink.

If they made them anxious and turned against them, she and Yang Shaohua would be doomed. Even with the Huang family as guarantee, they would definitely suffer huge losses in terms of money.

That's why she gave money so readily.

After all this trouble, at dawn, after all the patients had been dealt with, shopkeeper Xu and his men did not go back to the pharmacy, but went directly to the banker.

In the living room, Qin Yue sat with her while Wan'er made tea, poured it for everyone and left.

"I happened to be taking them to your village for a medical visit. I just wanted to sit here for a while. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Oh? What happened?"

"You do not know?"

"My home is at the end of the village, far away."

Qin Yue glanced outside, where Zhuang Shi was listening with his ears pricked up.

"A strange thing, a strange thing, nearly 20 people, all with comminuted fractures of their right legs."

"Whose house?"

"The Yang family!"

"His house? Humph, it would be better if they all died."

Shopkeeper Xu stroked his beard, with a tired look on his face, "I know a little bit about your affairs, so it's rare for such villains to be offended."

"Oh, don't offend me? When didn't they come to cause trouble first? Tolerance is not a reason for them to bully me."

"Forget it, as soon as I tell you, you will be more energetic. Do you have food? Let's stop by your house before leaving."

"Isn't it going to be enough without you, Shitou?"

He quickly responded outside, "Come here, the food is ready, just wait."

Shopkeeper Xu and the others were not polite about the tofu curd, fried dough sticks, and four kinds of pickled vegetables. Hululu ate it all in one go and said with satisfaction:
"Your food is so delicious. If we open a restaurant, my brother will have no way to survive."

"Okay, let's go after eating. Stop nagging."

"What about onions, potatoes, and your pickles? Bring some of the same. Your last gift in return was taken by my brother."

Qin Yue rolled her eyes at him: "Would you like the prepared kelp silk?"

"This is possible!"

Although he only wanted these, Qin got a basket of everything in the family warehouse.

When they left, they didn't even notice that their fatigue was gone, they were full of energy and felt no physical discomfort.

The young couple stood at the door to see off their guests, and accidentally saw the villagers gathered around, discussing something intensely.

Zhuang Shi was curious and wanted to go over and take a look. Qin Yue didn't stop him and turned back to the hospital.

Shi Shi closed the door, walked over quietly, and listened generously behind them.

After a while, Shitou returned home worried.

He sat opposite Qin Yue and asked in a low voice: "Are your martial arts very high?"

Qin Yue looked at the book without raising her head, "Did you hear something outside?"

"I have an illusion that you are responsible for what happened to the Yang family, right?" "Oh, you think too highly of me. Besides, they haven't done anything detrimental to our family. Why should I be so proactive?"

Shitou nodded, holding his chin and continuing to look at her.

"Yes, I heard that the Yang family suddenly had more than a dozen people. It seems that they were brought here by the Huang family. Their legs were broken overnight and they spent hundreds of taels of silver. Do you think this is evil?"

He didn't say anything about being naked, for fear of tainting her ears.

Qin Yue then raised her head and glanced at him, "Curiosity killed the cat, you are too thoughtful. With Huang's character, do you think she will offend fewer people?"

"Well, it might be an enemy who did it."

"Not to mention her, it's the Huang family. Regardless of the family's great business, there are also many rivals who are doing things overtly and covertly, so we have to be on guard every day."

"Makes sense."

She raised her hand and patted his head, "Have you prepared all the New Year stuff at home?"

"Hey, I'll save myself from being lazy and stew what needs to be stewed. It's cold anyway, so I can keep it for a few days. Just heat it up when I eat it."

"It's thirty tomorrow. Remember to shoot off cannons and post couplets."

"Yes"

Qin Yue looked at the pimples on his face, "I prepared a bottle of ointment and washed my face every morning and put it on!"

"Huh? For me?"

"Yes, you will become handsome this way. There is a saying that beauty is good for eating. This way I can eat you."

Shi Shi blushed immediately, "Actually, actually, actually, I can eat you too."

Qin Yue immediately put down the book and opened her arms, "Come on, I'm waiting."

Zhuang Shi was so frightened that he jumped off the bed and ran to the door, "Well, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look. I don't know what Mrs. Dong is doing."

Qin Yue giggled, "Young man, you still want to tease me?"

Being teased instead!

On the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, the Zhuang family got up early. Mrs. Wang wore a thick cotton coat and made dumplings with Mrs. Dong in the kitchen.

Zhuang Dashan and his wife washed their hands and came to help.

Wan'er and Liang Dong, one was lighting a fire and the other was storing water, preparing to cook meat for the furry children. Even Xiaotie's food was ready.

Shitou pulled Qin Yue, and the two fired the cannon together and posted couplets.

Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at the red pairs at the door of every house, Shitou said with emotion:

"Before, my family was the poorest in the whole village. We had never posted a pair, let alone a firecracker."

"now what?"

"Now our family is the richest in the village, we post the best couplets, and we set off the most firecrackers."

Qin Yue nodded, "The Hu family and the Sun family seem to have let go a lot."

"The Yang family also has conditions for release, but I'm afraid they won't be able to do so this year. There are a lot of sick people in the house. I heard they caught cold at night and kept running to the toilet. Their legs are broken and they can only be supported by others. There is a stench in the room. Xuntian."

"Oh, their New Year's Eve dinner must be delicious!"

"Haha, yes,"

Just when the two of them turned around and went back, Mrs. Qiao took her children into the old house at the door of Sun's house.

Shi Shi knew she was looking at the Sun family, so he grabbed her arm.

"Let's go, stop looking, let's go back and make dumplings. I've prepared several kinds of fillings, including radish, cabbage and mushrooms, mutton and green onions. Let's make more and freeze them so they're easier to eat."

As for the Sun family, it was originally agreed that everyone should live their own lives, but Mrs. Qiao insisted on coming to the old house.

Sun Liang twisted her around, but couldn't twist the child.

He had no choice but to take them there, but Wu didn't show any shame for her son's sake.

The family has bacon, chicken, fish and vegetables provided by the farmer, and also bought some New Year's goods in the town, so it is fully prepared.

This time, Mrs. Qiao didn't dare to talk nonsense and was busy working in the kitchen after entering the house.

Looking at the polished rice, white noodles, and various meat dishes, Mr. Qiao kept swallowing his saliva.

Since the separation of the family, she has lived a miserable life. Although she is not hungry, she does not have much oil or water.

Unlike before, the dealers would always give away meat, lard, this, and that. She followed her children and ate a lot.
