The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 110 Encounter in the Northern Desert
"How could my second brother have married such a troublemaker?"

As Wu Fang struggled to wash clothes in her dilapidated house in the northern desert, she muttered curses under her breath: "She ruined our perfectly good life. I wish I could kill her!"

"Who are you going to kill?" Mrs. Wu said coldly. "I don't even know who the scheming woman is. In that situation, you should have tried to stop her, but you all joined in the commotion. You can't even control a woman..."

Mrs. Wu truly never expected that Wu Yuanping would be so heartless.

Of course, what was even more unexpected was that Xiao Chunyu alone would plunge the entire Wu family into hell.

Now the master has been beheaded, and the whole family has been exiled to the northern desert.

On the day the Xiao family was exiled, Wu Yuanping told the master that Xiao Chunyu had no family to rely on and no place to use her talents. Xiao Chunyu had injured her body giving birth to her daughter, and both father and son were no good; in their haste and anger, they wanted to take a concubine.

They even had the nerve to ask her to make arrangements; as a woman, she felt disheartened.

The Wu Fang in front of me is even more foolish.

Everything she did was seen clearly by the people she had arranged. A girl like that, wanting to marry into a wealthy family in the capital, is really too naive.

That's true, with her limited abilities, she can only daydream.

Which wealthy and powerful family would marry an unreliable woman to be the head of the household?
Even if she marries a son born out of wedlock, he will still be picky about her appearance.

Now that things have come to this, they still keep blaming Xiao Chunyu. Haha, they're really stupid and foolish.

To be honest, she really admired Xiao Chunyu for turning a seemingly hopeless situation into a viable one.

When Wu Yuanping set his sights on her dowry, it was a rather malicious act.

A girl's dowry is her security and safety net when she gets married. Wu Yuanping not only showed no mercy, but he didn't even leave her a way out.

A dog will jump over a wall when cornered, and a rabbit will bite when cornered.

Driven to desperation, Xiao Chunyu filed a complaint with the emperor.

She sent the entire Wu family to prison, while she rolled over a board of nails and received rewards from the Empress and Empress Dowager. She should be living a good life in the capital now.

In contrast, the Wu family, who were completely ignorant of farming and physically lazy, had never done any hard labor. But upon arriving in the northern desert, they found themselves with endless work and suffering. It was truly a miserable situation.

At the northern desert mine, Chunquan spotted a familiar figure.

"How could it be him?"

Chunquan rubbed his eyes: "Why did he come here? Could it be that he was implicated? What about my elder sister?"

Upon thinking about these issues, Chunquan immediately dropped his tools and ran over.

As a result, he was stopped by a policeman.

"Hey kid, where are you going?"

"Officer, please have mercy! I saw someone I know, I just want to go say hello."

"Heh, it's quite rare to run into an acquaintance in this godforsaken place." The constable sneered, "You two are destined to meet from afar, but for me, it's a case of being unable to hold hands even when face to face. Get out of here and get back to work."

Chun Quan murmured to himself.

Enough already, none of these police officers are easy to deal with.

The reason for such a bad attitude is that they did not receive any benefits.

Chun Quan had actually figured out the secret to thriving here, but he wasn't sure yet, so he decided it was best not to spend the money for the time being.

After watching the man leave, Chunquan had no choice but to go back, pick up his tools, and continue working diligently.

"You better do a good job, don't try to slack off, or I'll beat you to a pulp if I see you doing it!"

A whip struck Chunquan on the back.

Chun Quan bared his teeth, but managed to hold back from shouting.

These bastards never treat people like human beings.

Things change every thirty years, and one day I will definitely avenge this!

When he got home that evening, Chunquan asked Chunhua to help him apply the medicine. "What happened? How did you get involved with them?"

These are all wicked people who would eat people alive without spitting out the bones. They would beat people at the slightest provocation. However, the Xiao family members have not been beaten for a long time. The reason for this is that the steward has been intervening.

Why was I randomly selected today?
"Brother, I found someone at the mine who looks a lot like Wu Yuanping."

"what?"

Chunhua looked at him in surprise: "Really? Wasn't the Wu family doing well in the capital? How come they were also exiled to the northern desert? What about your eldest sister, Chunyu?"

"I just don't know what's going on," Chunquan said. "I saw someone who looked like him and wanted to go up and say hello, but that bastard wouldn't let me and even said I was being lazy."

"If I see it tomorrow, I'll try to ask about it. It's worth spending some money."

"Well, I see."

"Don't let your family know about this yet."

"it is good."

Just then, someone called out Chunquan's name.

When Chun Quan looked, it was the caravan's horse manager.

"Manager Ma, we've been looking forward to your visit every day."

His arrival meant that there would be letters from home or items such as food, clothing, and daily necessities brought by his family.

I don't know how Chunnuan and the others managed to get Steward Ma to help them so often.

"Here they come! Here are your letters home, and winter clothes—another whole carriage full!" Steward Ma said. "You really are living a good life."

Those good people who were exiled are living a more and more comfortable life.

Therefore, it is still necessary to have someone in the capital.

"Manager Ma is joking." Chun'an checked the goods one by one, and as usual, he felt the loose silver pieces in the corner of the cotton coat.

Then he took out a pot of wine and gave it to Steward Ma to drink.

"No need, no need. It was Seventh Master who personally instructed us to bring you these items, so we naturally wouldn't dare to neglect our duty."

"Who is Seventh Master?"

"It's Master Zhou, the top dog in Changzhou, Sichuan."

"Was it my family who asked him to arrange this?"

"I don't know the specifics," Manager Ma said with a smile. "I only know that Zhou Qi is a womanizer. If a young and beautiful girl asks him for a favor, he'll definitely do it."

Chunquan's expression changed.

The meaning of this statement couldn't be clearer.

He would rather not have these letters and supplies than have his sister do these things.

No, no, Nuannuan isn't that kind of person.

His twin sister is the most intuitive and would never do anything reckless.

Thinking of this, Chunquan's resolve hardened.

After dismissing Steward Ma, Chunquan tore open the letter from home.

It really was written by Nuannuan.

After carefully reading the coded message, the news was shocking: the eldest sister had been divorced by the Wu family, and then filed a lawsuit against the emperor, dragging the entire Wu family into prison; and then she herself got engaged.

Nuannuan told her brother this information because the Wu family was also in Mobei, and she wanted to give him a heads-up so he would be prepared if they ran into them.

When Chunquan learned that Nuannuan's betrothed was the youngest son of the owner of Baicaotang in town, his heart was bleeding: his sister was so good, worthy of being cherished by the best man in the world, but she could only spend the rest of her life with such a boy, how aggrieved!
