Blessed Peasant Woman of Time Traveling

Chapter 6

After Ding Xiang returned home, she picked up the package of medicine and rushed to the town.The last time she fell ill, her father Meng Gui carried her to the town to see the doctor a few times, and she was already familiar with the way to the town.

When she showed the package of medicine to Dr. Wu for identification, Dr. Wu had a strange expression on his face, and looked up at her with surprised eyes, "Ding Xiang, where did you get this package of medicine? It's an abortion medicine. We in Qingshan Town None of them have to be bought."

"What? Abortion... Abortion pill?" Ding Xiang was terrified, such a heartless cousin, even gave Haitang the abortion pill!
She was so angry that her teeth were itching. This scumbag cousin still said that he wanted to marry his sister, but he brought a packet of abortion pills. At that time, he didn't say clearly what the medicine was, did he want people to drink it in a daze!

Dr. Wu looked at her suspiciously, "Where did you get this medicine?"

"This... This is a tonic given by my relatives. Maybe he bought it by mistake." Ding Xiang perfunctory Doctor Wu, and then went out with the medicine.Suddenly, she turned and came back.

She said with a smile: "Doctor Wu, just now you said that this kind of medicine is not available in our Qingshan Town, so it must be very valuable?"

Dr. Wu was worrying about the difficulty in purchasing this medicine, but he didn't want to accept it at a high price, so he said: "This kind of shameful medicine is indeed worth a little money because it is difficult to buy, but how many people have this kind of demand in a year?" What? It’s worthless if you can’t sell it. If you don’t need it, I can collect it for ten cents.”

He thought that Lilac would be grateful to sell him the medicine, but the girl in this valley takes ten cents very seriously.Unexpectedly, Ding Xiang raised her eyebrows, "Only ten pennies?"

She thought to herself, isn't it just enough to buy five head flowers? It's such a hard-to-buy valuable item, this Dr. Wu must think she is ignorant and wants to take it cheap.She said with a sneer: "Then I won't sell it, maybe someday someone in the village will need it urgently, and it will definitely sell for a good price."

Doctor Wu's expression froze, and then he looked at the paper package in Ding Xiang's hand, so a full package can be split into four or five small packages, and said: "You girl, you are selling this medicine privately before you are married, you are not afraid of someone Poking your spine? Up to twenty coins, if you don’t sell it, forget it.”

Ding Xiang stretched out five fingers, "Fifty Wen!"

Doctor Wu gave her a blank look, "No!"

"Doctor Wu, it's hard to find this kind of medicine, it's not expensive at fifty cents, and... maybe I can ask my relatives to bring some over in a few days, and then I'll sell it to you at a cheaper price." Ding Xiang said in a moment Then I came up with an idea. When I went to my cousin's house later, I said I lost the medicine and asked him to buy another pack.This kind of cousin is not cheating for nothing!
Dr. Wu thought about splitting it into five packages, each package could be sold for [-] Wen, and he could make some money, so he hesitated for a while.

Ding Xiang immediately stuffed the paper bag into Dr. Wu's hand, "Fifty Wen, deal!"

Dr. Wu took the paper bag and weighed it in his hand, then silently took fifty Wen from the drawer and gave it to her.

Ding Xiang was overjoyed, pretended to be very calm and went out with the money.Although fifty coins is not a lot, but at least fifty buns can be bought to eat, this is the first money she has here!

She left the town with fifty cents in her pocket, and walked north all the way according to what Haitang said, but she didn't see a fork in the road after walking for a long time, so she went the wrong way.She walked forward hesitantly, and looked into the distance, hoping to meet someone to ask for directions.

Walking and walking, I really saw a person!The man sat on the side of the road with his head drooped, with a load of baskets beside him.

Ding Xiang trotted over, and at a closer look, he found a young man with broad shoulders and thick shoulders, a straight face and pleasing features.Of course, she just glanced at it casually, but she wouldn't stare at him carefully, as long as he didn't look like a bad person.

"This... big brother, can I ask the way?" Ding Xiang asked very politely, with a smile on her face.

The young man squinted his eyes and looked at Ding Xiang, thinking that this girl was quite strange, she didn't wrap her head and face with a scarf, she didn't wear a straw hat with a big brim, and she dared to meet his eyes.Seeing that the bun she wears is still a girl's head and not a woman's head, why is she not shy about it?
Don't girls cover most of their faces when they go out, and keep their heads down when they walk?If you meet a strange man, you will pass by quickly. It will never let people see her face clearly, and it is even more impossible to stop and ask for directions. This girl is too bold.

Thinking about this in his heart, he forgot to look away.

Ding Xiang was also surprised, what's wrong with this man, he just asked for directions, but he didn't answer but just kept looking at her, never seen a girl before!
"Hey, brother, how far do you go before the fork in the road? I'm going to Sunjiacun." Ding Xiang said loudly.

The man hurriedly covered his ears with his hands, and said displeasedly: "I'm not deaf. I've passed the fork in the road you mentioned. You don't take this road to Sunjia Village, but take that road. What do you mean?" Is it the Sun Family Village in Liangfeng Town?"

Ding Xiang was a little dazed, this road was a mountain road, with yellow thorns and trees on both sides of the road, did she not pay attention when passing the fork?As for whether Sun Family Village belongs to Qingshan Town or Liangfeng Town, she doesn't know at all.

The man saw that Ding Xiang was dizzy, and said again: "Liangfeng Town only has Sunjia Village, and Qingshan Town only has Sunling Village."

"That's Sunjia Village in Liangfeng Town!" Ding Xiang clearly remembered that Haitang said it was Sunjia Village, not Sunling Village.

The man got up, picked up a load of baskets beside him, and said in a dull voice, "Let me show you the way. My house is very close to Sun's Village, and the road is familiar."

"Ah? Oh oh." Ding Xiang hurriedly followed.

The man suddenly turned his head while walking, seeing that Ding Xiang was following so closely, he took big strides to distance himself from Ding Xiang.How can a strange man and a woman be so close to each other? This girl doesn't know the rules, so he can discipline himself.

Ding Xiang didn't know what he was thinking, she was still depressed, wondering why this freak was walking so fast, it made her almost trot all the way.

She saw that this man was tall, and he was able to walk so lightly while carrying a load full of things. It seemed that he was indeed a good hand in farm work and had strength!She glanced at the basket, and found that there were rice and noodles inside, and there were eggs and meat!
Huh?Why is there a big red double happiness lettering on each of the two baskets?Since it was a gift, or a wedding gift, why did he look unhappy?

Ding Xiang ran a few steps forward, walked side by side with him, and said with a smile, "Are you going to give a wedding present?"

"Is anyone going to give a wedding gift in the afternoon? It's not a gift for a dead person!" The man's tone was particularly aggressive.

Ding Xiang paused, thinking to herself that you are angry, why are you sending it to me?Suddenly, she trotted to catch up again, and said mockingly: "Then you went to give the wedding gift in the morning, but it was returned intact? Your fiancée suddenly doesn't want you, right?"

Being guessed by Ding Xiang, the man's face turned red, and he replied angrily, "Women don't have a good thing."

"Hey! Hey! Who are you talking about? Your fiancée doesn't want you, so why don't you beat all the women to death?" Ding Xiang felt quite relieved when he thought of being dumped by a woman.

"I don't call you hello. My name is Wei Dashan. Women hate the poor and love the rich. Is it a good thing to look at the height of this mountain? Although I have heard that there are many good women in this world, I have never seen them anyway."

Ding Xiang really wanted to answer him, isn't your mother a good woman?But think about it or forget it, it is impolite to say this after all.

"Oh, I see, your fiancee thinks you are poor, right? Then why did her family agree to get engaged in the first place?"

Wei Dashan looked displeased, "Liangfeng Town is considered the poorest in our Weijia Village. Other villages are surrounded by mountains and rivers, with fields and land, such as Sunjia Village. Most of Weijia Village is mountainous, with only a pitiful dozen or so acres. Paddy fields, each family is only given such a small piece, and this life is no different from Shangougou in Qingshan Town. Last year I went to her house to work and build a house. Her parents saw that I was strong and heard that I had studied for half a year. The book can read a few words, and offered to betroth my daughter to me. I have been engaged for a whole year, but I didn't expect that today is the anniversary gift, and her family regrets the marriage, saying that a son of Lizheng has taken a fancy to her. Originally, the family was wrong, so if you regret the marriage, you can regret it, who cares about whom!"

Wei Dashan complained, and finally felt better.

Ding Xiang was still full of curiosity, "At the beginning when you got engaged to her, it must have been your wish, maybe her parents wanted to marry her into the same family, and she still has you in her heart, you can go to her again and say Say, don't regret a marriage in a hurry."

"Forget it, what do you want? I worked at her house for ten days. I only saw her three times, and I didn't even remember what she looked like. Her parents promised her to me, and she Agree, now her parents are going to regret the marriage, she also agrees, today she gave me a cold face and then hid. What is this called, I did not ask her to marry me. Save these rice noodles, eggs and Meat, my family is just about to have a good year!"

Wei Dashan talked more and more happily, suddenly, he closed his mouth, thinking why he was talking about this with a strange girl, it seemed that he was really confused.

He took Lilac to the fork in the road, then walked on the narrow road, and after reaching a pond, he pointed to a village in front and said, "That is Sunjia Village." He carried the burden and walked to the west hillside.

Ding Xiang took a look at the west hillside, there was indeed a small village, it seemed that it was Weijia Village.Weijia Village and Sunjia Village are just one on the hillside and one on the bottom of the hillside. Is the difference really that big? Why is Weijia Village the poorest village in Liangfeng Town because it has fewer paddy fields than other villages?

Ding Xiang finds it incredible that a few paddy fields can determine the rich and the poor!
She went straight to the west end of Sunjia Village, because Haitang said that her cousin's house was at the west end of the village.As soon as she arrived at the door of her cousin's house, she felt the gap between her own family and Sun's family.

The Sun family has five main houses, which are made of earthen bricks and black tiles. There are three small rooms next to them, which should be the kitchen, utility room and firewood room. Not far away, there are pigpens and cattle pens.Peanuts and rice are drying in front of the door, and strings of corn cobs are hanging on the wall. Most of the clothes drying on the bamboo poles in front of the door are not patched.

Ding Xiang was thinking, it is not clear whether the Sun family is rich or not, at least not poor, and there will be no time for failure.If my elder sister married into the Sun family, life would be much better than in her natal family, but my cousin disagreed, and insisted on my cousin marrying some kind of agate, alas!
