Cheng Xiaoyu walked on crutches, looked at the newly renovated house in front of him with satisfaction, and said to a large group of people around him: "Thank you brothers, if there is no help from the brothers, I am really at a loss. ”

A group of men led by Wang Zunzhi put away the tools in their hands, walked into the gate and entered the inner courtyard with a smile, where the aroma of food was already blowing in their faces.

This is Sanyuanli Lane, Liu Kui's home. When Xiaoyu found Liu Kui's widow, he found that things were far from being as simple as he thought. Liu Kui's official is not small, and his wife is naturally not from a poor family. Originally, Cheng Xiaoyu's plan was to take Mrs. Liu to Huangnishan Village to settle down, get a good piece of land, and at least be self-sufficient. But as soon as they met, this thought was directly beaten without a trace.

At first glance, Mrs. Liu is not the kind of person who can manage the fields. The thin and weak body seems to fall when the wind blows, and the hunger that has been suffered for a period of time is even weaker, the key is that Cheng Xiaoyu looks at the face, the figure, and the delicate skin, and knows where is this person who can do farm work?

After careful questioning, I learned that Mrs. Liu's family was originally a family of physicians in Yongdu City, the family background is excellent, and there are two brothers, Mrs. Liu is a child, and a woman, she has been pampered since she was a child, what hardships have she suffered, and later married Liu Kui, Liu Kui is an officer of the Thunder Army, or a tooth general, and her status is naturally not low, whether it is in her father's house or her husband's family, this Mrs. Liu is pampered and accustomed to it, and she is really a woman who can't pick her shoulders and can't lift her hands.

But her life is also bitter enough, the war together, first the old father and brothers were conscripted and sent to the front line with the army, the battle of the tiger prison, the Qin army suffered countless casualties, and her father and brothers never came back. It's been a long time since the war ended, but there is still no news, I'm afraid it's already dead. This time, even her husband is gone.

After the siege of Yongdu, the original family members were all conscripted to serve as soldiers, and the servants were dismissed immediately, and in the end, only the mother and son were left to rely on each other, and finally because of Liu Kui, they barely survived.

After the city was broken, just when the mother and son were hesitating, Cheng Xiaoyu happened to come to the door.

When her husband died, she was naturally grief-stricken, but more often than not, she was desperate for the future. At this time, she really felt that there was no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, and she only felt that there was no way to live as far as she could see.

Cheng Xiaoyu, who caught the blind, also had no idea, the original plan was completely bankrupt, but the promise still had to be fulfilled, and after the woman's grief passed, the two finally sat down and began to discuss how to live in the future.

Cheng Xiaoyu is disabled, and he feels that he will not be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future, he must be retired, and the salary and reward will naturally be gone, although Daming has a good pension for the disabled soldiers, but there are a number of them, always use one to reduce one, looking at the weak woman and child, Cheng Xiaoyu only felt a boom in his head.

In despair, the woman suddenly came to such a big savior as Cheng Xiaoyu, and naturally she wanted to hold on to it firmly, which made Cheng Xiaoyu even more frightened, and she was ready to put the money in her arms here many times and then run away, but when she saw the woman's lonely and helpless eyes and her pitiful appearance, she suddenly softened her heart again.

I only have more than a hundred taels of silver in total, even if I give it all to them, how long can I support it?

Both of them have no ideas, the woman has been in the deep boudoir for many years, and Cheng Xiaoyu is a soldier, who can't read a few big characters, what good way can he come up with?

When the two looked at each other sadly, Wang Zunzhi came to the door again, and finally let the two have a backbone.

Since you can't farm for a living, you can only do small business. This woman is a literate person, not only literate, but also has a family history, and the most read since childhood is medical books, and it is naturally not good to be a doctor, she is the kind of nerd who really has a lot of theory and zero practice. But there is a good thing, that is, this woman is quite familiar with medicinal materials.

Wang Zunzhi gave the two of them an idea to open a medicinal herb store.

The house is ready-made, and Liu Kui's original house is not small, and it is renovated, with a shop in front and a house in the back. As long as you run it well, not to mention making a fortune, it is always not difficult to make a living. In such a big place and with such a large population in Yongdu, people will always get sick, and if they are sick, they have to take medicine. Mrs. Liu's former fathers and brothers were well-known in Yongdu City, and with this signboard, they could always attract some business.

The idea is there, but there is a problem with the origin of the medicinal materials, although Mrs. Liu is familiar with the medicinal materials, but she is completely blind to where the medicinal materials come from, and finally Cheng Xiaoyu has the courage to find the horse monkey.

The horse monkey wrapped everything up in one bite.

For Cheng Xiaoyu, the horse monkey is guilty, it is precisely because of his decision-making mistakes that more than 600 people were killed, and Cheng Xiaoyu could have escaped at that time, but he went to resolutely lead his troops to pounce, without Cheng Xiaoyu's decision, the Ming army's casualties would be greater, and a whole baggage battalion would not be able to be saved.

So for Cheng Xiaoyu, the horse monkey has guilt and gratitude. Now that Cheng Xiaoyu needs his help, he is naturally duty-bound.

The identity of the horse monkey is naturally not comparable to Cheng Xiaoyu. With him coming forward, people from all walks of life, who will not sell his face? Several businessmen who provided medicinal materials to the Ming army agreed to provide Cheng Xiaoyu with the best medicinal materials at the lowest price.

In addition to these medicinal materials, Ma Monkey went to the people of the Taiyi Department again, and found a way for Cheng Xiaoyu to directly get the finished medicine made by the Taiyi Department, which is not something that ordinary people can get.

It can be said that even if only these over-the-counter medicines made by the Imperial Medical Department are sold, it is enough for Mrs. Liu's family to live extremely well in Yongdu City.

Solve the way of medicinal materials, Cheng Xiaoyu began to renovate the house, Wang Zunzhi didn't say a word, the engineering team of Huangnishan was directly pulled over, free renovation of the house, Cheng Xiaoyu went to the barracks again, and found a few soldiers who were good at building, with the help of these people, in a short period of time, everything was ready.

Mrs. Liu hugged her son and sat in the inner room, listening to the sound of drinking and guessing boxing from outside, with a smile on her face, but tears in her eyes.

In a war, he lost all his relatives, and it was Akito who brought her all these disasters, but she didn't know whether to hate or not. She fell from the peak of her life to the bottom all of a sudden, and those days were spent in great fear, not to mention starving every day, and there were always idlers and scoundrels wandering outside her house, a weak woman who had lost the protection of a man, and in such a world, the end would never be too good. She wanted to die, but looking at her son who was still in her infancy, how could she be ruthless?

She was desperate, but inexplicably descended a big savior from the sky. The man was crippled, but he was a Ming officer, and from the day he stood at his door, all the idlers and scoundrels disappeared without a trace.

From his mouth, I heard the exact news of her husband's death and knew why he was here. For a promise on the battlefield, he actually found himself, and as soon as they met, he took out all the money on his body.

The appearance of this person made her feel a glimmer of light for her dark future. Judging from the contact during this time, this person is a very simple man, maybe if he changes a person, he will give himself the money on his body, even if he is benevolent and righteous, but he is thinking about things for himself and his children for a long time.

A herb shop is the only thing you can do. And he solved all the troubles in a short period of time, which also shows that he is a very capable and responsible person.

She felt like she had to hold on to him.

Thinking of this, she became sad again, feeling that she was sorry for her husband, but her husband was dead, and she still had to live with her son, which was the incense of the Liu family!

That Wang Zunzhi knew her husband before, and the meaning of the words also implied that there was a big man who could reach the sky behind this man named Cheng Xiaoyu, as long as he caught this Cheng Xiaoyu, no one would dare to bully their mother and son in Yongdu City in this life.

Mrs. Liu wants to survive with her son, and she wants her son to have a bright future.

The child had already fallen asleep, and she sat quietly thinking about her thoughts, not even knowing when the noise outside had disappeared, until she knew that there was a gentle knock at the door, which woke her from her thoughts.

"Sister-in-law Liu, can I come in?" It was Cheng Xiaoyu's voice.

"Brother Xiaoyu, come in!" Mrs. Liu stood up, gently put the child on the bed, covered the futon, straightened her clothes, and gathered her hair.

Cheng Xiaoyu walked into the door on crutches. His face glowed red, and he had obviously drunk a lot. In order to get these wines today, he has put a lot of effort into them, Wang Zunzhi and they have been working for free for so many days, and they can't say anything if they don't entertain them well, these wines are all from the army, and they can't buy them outside, but now that the war is over, the control on wine has been loosened, if it was before, don't even think about it.

"The house has been renovated, tomorrow I will bring a few brothers who know carpenter's skills to come over and make medicine cabinets or something, we don't know much about these, sister-in-law, you make a list tonight, tomorrow I will go and get the wood or everything to put it." Cheng Xiaoyu stood in the center of the room and said.

"It's really hard little fish brother." Mrs. Liu's eyelids drooped slightly, "If it weren't for you, our mother and son, I really don't know how to live!" ”
