Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 16 It doesn’t work

When Doctor Zhou heard this, he changed his mind and said, "Then you call my wife to take care of the child. Although my wife is a woman, her medical skills are not inferior to mine. She can do it."

After speaking, Langzhong Zhou took a closer look at Ke Muqing and saw that she agreed without hesitation. Langzhong Zhou felt relieved.

The world is often harsh on women, and if it wasn't for the fact that the child had a high fever and couldn't delay it, Dr. Zhou wouldn't let his wife see a doctor for someone he didn't know, for fear that his wife wouldn't be able to get a good name in the future.

The commotion here was not small, and Ke Muqing didn't even need to go into the backyard to call for someone. As soon as she stepped in, she saw Mrs. Zhou coming out.

Madam Zhou is also a kind-hearted doctor. She could see at a glance that the child Ke Muqing was holding was sick. Then she heard from Ke Muqing that Dr. Zhou was treating another seriously injured patient in the hospital, so she asked Ke Muqing and others to carry the child into a room. Empty guest room.

The child had already been carried by Mrs. Zhou. She pressed a few acupuncture points on the child, then gave the child a few injections and then covered the child with a quilt.

"I'll give the child some antipyretic medicine later. Once the child drinks the medicine, he'll be fine." Mrs. Zhou said, "I'll get the medicine. You guys wait here."

"Old woman, thank you Madam Zhou first." Ke Muqing stood up and thanked her.

After Madam Zhou smiled and left, Ke Muqing touched Yang Chuxue, whose tears were almost dry along the way, "Don't cry, Madam Zhou said, you will be fine when Chu Ning takes the medicine, your father With Dr. Zhou, we can definitely turn the crisis into safety."

Ke Muqing patted the empty seat next to Yang Chuning, "If you're sleepy, lie down next to my sister and take a nap first. My mother-in-law and your cousin-in-law are here to watch over you."

Yang Chuxue shook her head, "I want to wait for my sister and dad to wake up."

The corners of Zheng Qiushuang's mouth moved, thinking, there is no need for so many people to watch here, or else she should go to sleep?
  But she knew that she would be scolded by her mother-in-law if she said this, so she suppressed it again.

I just didn't feel very happy, thinking that my mother-in-law was just pretending to be kind and taking care of things for her family when she had nothing to do.

If he hadn't taken over this mess, the whole family would still be sleeping at home right now. There would be no need to stay here with the upper and lower eyelids fighting.

After Mrs. Zhou went out for a while, a maid came in with tea.

"Madam said that although it is spring, the wind is cool in the middle of the night, so she asked the slave to boil hot tea to warm up the female guests." The maid smiled and comforted the tense-looking guests, "The medicine Madam prepared for the child is already being fried in the kitchen. I'll send someone to deliver it when it's ready, guests, don't worry."

"Thank you, sister~" Yang Chuxue quickly stood up and thanked her.

"I'm sorry, Madam Zhou, but I'm also sorry that the girls are tired from working in the middle of the night." Ke Muqing stood up, thought about it, took out some silver from her purse and was about to stuff it in.

When the maid saw it, she was shocked and backed away.

"Old lady, please don't do this. If the master and his wife find out, they will definitely sell this slave."

"These things are what I am supposed to do. If I can get a thank you from the old lady and this little sister, I will feel happy in my heart."

"There is an empty room next to it. If the guest is sleepy, please come. If you need more tea, follow this door and turn right to the kitchen. The guest can go to the kitchen and call the maid."

After saying that, the maid bowed slightly and exited the door.

Zheng Qiushuang, who had endured it for a while, finally couldn't help but speak out.

"Mom, if you have too much money, please give it to me. Why would you give it to a slave?"

Zheng Qiu Shuang almost jumped out of her chair when she saw her mother-in-law giving a reward to someone else's servants.

Fortunately, that slave knew better than to take it. If she wanted to take it, she would definitely snatch it back!
  That's your own money, how can you earn it just by giving him hot tea? Where in the world can there be such easy money?

"Even if that girl is a slave, she is still someone else's slave." Ke Muqing glanced at Zheng Qiu Shuang, "A few of us are disturbing others in the middle of the night. The masters and servants of the Zhou family can't rest in the middle of the night because of our busy schedule. You are worried now. I don’t know how many times you have scolded me, my mother-in-law, right?”

"What's the matter? You were asked to stay up in the middle of the night to do things you shouldn't have done. You knew in your heart that you were unhappy, but why didn't you allow others to feel unhappy?" Zheng Qiushuang originally wanted to defend herself from scolding her mother-in-law in her heart, but Ke Muqing's eyes were so sharp that she didn't dare to defend herself humbly.

He opened his mouth and could only mutter in a low voice, "She is a slave. Whatever Madam Zhou asked her to do, she should do it. She also said it herself, this is what she should do."

"Chu Xue's father is your fifth uncle. This is what relatives should do. Why don't you persuade yourself like this?" Ke Muqing asked, "Chu Xue's children are more polite than you, so your life has been in vain. Such an old age."

Zheng Qiu Shuang was speechless, twisted her body and sat back on the chair out of breath.

"My mother is getting more and more talkative. I can't say anything to her. Anyway, she seems to have taken the wrong medicine today."

I'm still not convinced by what I mean, and I still haven't figured it out.

"From now on, no matter whether you want to understand something clearly or not, you have to shut up and control your eyes and mouth." I have taught him, but I have not taught him anything.

Ke Muqing knew that preaching would not work with Zheng Qiushuang.

"Not only have I become more talkative, but I have also become more violent in hitting people. If you make me, my mother-in-law, unhappy, I will have to use a fire stick to teach you what filial piety is."

Zheng Qiu Shuang suddenly remembered the way her mother-in-law beat Yang Chengzhuo in the evening. She was even willing to beat her most precious eldest grandson. If she beat her as a daughter-in-law, why should she be beaten to death?
  Zheng Qiu Shuang suddenly felt good and nodded in agreement.

Ke Muqing didn't care about what Zheng Qiu Shuang was thinking, and turned around to pour a cup of hot tea for Yang Chuxue.

When the tea is poured into the cup, a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus comes to your nostrils.

"Ms. Zhou is interested." Ke Muqing lowered her head and spoke to Yang Chuxue: "Drinking a cup of hot tea can also refresh you to warm yourself up. You little ones can also drink osmanthus tea, which is not as restless as strong tea."

"Auntie, Chuxue is not a little baby." Yang Chuxue held the tea cup and covered her hands. After speaking, she lowered her head and took a sip, then raised her head with joy in her eyes.

"Auntie, this is sweet tea. I drank it and it was a little sweet."

When she heard that it was sweet tea, Zheng Qiu Shuang felt that she was at a loss if she didn't take advantage of it. She suddenly stood up and raised her hand to grab the teapot.

Ke Muqing slapped away the hand that seemed to be in a hurry to reincarnate.

"As a mother-in-law, I haven't had a drink yet, so why are you anxious? When I get home, I will let the fourth child teach you what filial piety is."

For people like Zheng Qiushuang, he can't even get used to the smallest things.

Zheng Qiu Shuang smiled coquettishly, "Mom, didn't I think nothing of it as soon as I heard it was sweet tea?"

Ke Muqing ignored her and poured a cup of tea.

The aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus hits your nostrils before you take your mouth. After you take your mouth, it does have a hint of sweetness.

The sweetness is just right, not so much that it hits your throat.

Ke Muqing was taking a sip when he heard Zheng Qiu Shuang, who had taken a large drink in one gulp, looking disgusted.

"It's really tough. In such a big pot of tea, I'm afraid I didn't even put sugar the size of my kid's fingernail."

Ke Muqing only said a word quietly, and Zheng Qiushuang became honest.

"I really hope the fourth child marries a mute."
