Fennel was also unambiguous, and her apricot eyes glared: "What did you say?" My brother didn't ask for a sky-high price, why are you talking so ugly? Pay by the medicine? I ask you, are you coming to see a doctor or to buy medicine? You have to know how to use medicine, why don't you buy medicine for your daughter-in-law to eat, eat early and be good early, come to our Guizhitang and kneel on the ground to beg my father to do? ”

The old woman crossed her waist with the money bag and pouted, "What's the matter?" Isn't it enough for me to give you the medicine according to the price? How much do you want? I'll give you an extra five cents to count as a hardship fee, right? Shaking the money bag in his hand, he made a loud noise: "Think about money, right?" Looking at the money greedy, right? You think about money so much, why don't you go to the Qinglou to sell it! ”

Fennel crossed her waist with both hands, straightened her towering chest, twisted the thin waist of the water snake, looked the old woman's shriveled body up and down, and snorted contemptuously: "I'm young, I really want to sell and someone buys it, unlike you, an old witch who doesn't die, and she doesn't pee to take pictures of herself like a human or a ghost!" If you go to the Qinglou to buy it, no one will look at it if you take it off! People who sell pork on the pork board in Shelva City think you stink! Phew! ”

"Oh, you little......"

"Enough!" Zuo Gui slapped it heavily on the table, "I don't want a penny, okay?" Get lost! Get out of here! ”

The old woman immediately hit the snake on the pole and said in a sharp voice: "Okay, this is what you said, you all heard it, right?" It's not that we don't give money, I just wanted to give money for medicine, and I have to give an extra five cents! They don't want it themselves, but they can't blame us! - Let's go! Hurry up and carry it away. "I was busy pulling the old man and others out, as if I was afraid that Zuo Gui would change his hexagram and ask for money.

"Mother!" The man's face turned red, and he knelt down with a grunt, "My father said before, if you sell your house and land, you have to save your daughter-in-law, but now people don't want us to sell your house and land, just give it casually, we are already guilty of others, you still play tricks and don't give money, where does this make us put our faces?" Mother! I beg you, someone saved my daughter-in-law's life! Please, you will return the money bag to me and pay for the consultation! ”

"You know!" The old woman stuffed two bags of money into her arms, pinched the placket of her clothes with one hand, and pulled the man with the other: "You go quickly!" What is Lai doing here? It's serious to go back and take care of your daughter-in-law! ”

Many onlookers outside the pharmacy saw the old woman like this, and immediately burst into a boo: "I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless!" ”

"Yes, they saved her daughter-in-law, and she didn't give money, even if she didn't give money, she still spoke so ugly!"

"What a wicked mother-in-law! To be her daughter-in-law is counted as eight lifetimes of mold! ”

"Cross the river and tear down the bridge! It's completely stinky and shameless! ”

……

The old woman turned a deaf ear, and when she saw that she couldn't pull her kneeling son, she turned around and pulled the old man, but the old man didn't dare to disobey the old woman, and followed him out of the pharmacy door in frustration. The old woman said to the relatives who were helping, "Hurry up, carry them away!" ”

Those individuals glanced at each other, shook their heads with a wry smile, glanced at Zuo Gui with a blue face embarrassedly, lifted the door panel and walked out with four feet.

"Wait!" The woman lying on the door panel spoke with difficulty, and several people carrying the door panel immediately stopped. The woman smiled bitterly at the fennel: "Sister-in-law, please come over for a while." ”

Fennel walked over with a straight face: "What to do?" ”

The mother lifted the quilt with difficulty, took off a jade bracelet from her wrist, pulled Fennel's hand, put the jade bracelet in her palm, and tears flowed down: "I'm really sorry, this is ...... The bracelet I brought from my mother's house, thank you for saving my life, this is a little bit of heart, please accept it! ”

Seeing this, the old woman outside the door rushed in with a scream: "What are you doing? "Reach out and grab the bracelet.

Fennel held the bracelet in her hand and retracted it, dodging her hand, and pushed her with a kick. Holding the bracelet and sneering: "Dead old woman, did you hear clearly?" This is what your daughter-in-law brought from her mother's house, not your family! People are grateful to my father for saving his life and giving us this bracelet, if it was before, I would never have asked for it, but today I see the virtue of your dead witch, I can't swallow this breath, I want this bracelet! Kill you, old witch! ”

"You! You! ......" The old woman's face turned white, but this bracelet was indeed brought by her daughter-in-law from her mother's family, and the Tang Dynasty still respected the ownership of the dowry, and she had nothing to say about who people were willing to give it to.

The old man at the door was relieved to see that his daughter-in-law would be a man, for fear that the old woman would continue to mess around and embarrass people here, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" He made a gesture to Zuo Gui and led the way away, and the man was also busy kowtowing to Zuo Gui a few times, getting up and helping to lift the door panel and go out.

Zuo Shaoyang saw that there was still half a pot of wine on the medicine cabinet, and said, "Hey! You forgot to take your wine! ”

The man smiled guiltily, and said with a bowed hand: "Big brother, I'll give you the rest of the wine, you have also worked hard, drink some wine to relieve your fatigue." ”

Zuo Shaoyang smelled the fragrance of wine, and he had already secretly swallowed his saliva, and when he heard his words, he was not reluctant, and learned to hug his fists and said: "Thank you so much!" ”

When the old woman saw that everyone was gone, she was also deflated, coughed up a mouthful of phlegm and wanted to spit on the floor of the pharmacy lobby, but when she saw the cold face of fennel, she hurriedly swallowed the phlegm, muttered in her mouth, and walked out quickly. The crowd of onlookers also talked and dispersed.

Everything that happened just now was so sudden, and Zuo Gui's family didn't come back to their senses. I have been running a pharmacy for so long, and I have never encountered such a thing, I have never encountered such a big critically ill patient to seek medical treatment, and I have never been treated for such a disease, of course, I have never encountered this kind of unethical old woman who crossed the river and demolished the bridge.

Although Zuo Gui was angry, he was more of the joy of curing the patient, especially this patient who couldn't even be cured by Dr. Ni, the most famous Huimin Tang in Fucheng, and he actually cured it and saved someone's life, this sense of accomplishment quickly overshadowed the nausea and depression brought by the old woman just now. The family soon became happy again.

Fennel put the bracelet on the table in front of Zuo Gui: "Dad, what should I do with this bracelet?" ”

"What people gave you, how can you deal with it."

"Daddy! It is the surname of the person you saved, and this bracelet is a thank you for saving your life. People know that your surname is kind, and if the bracelet is given to you, it will be taken away by the old witch, so it is stuffed in my hand, and I just said that it is for you, and you can deal with it as you say. ”

Liang also said: "Yes, master, you can send a message." ”

Zuo Gui thought for a while and said, "Then take it and see how much money you can exchange, pay the rent first, pay as much as you want, and see if you can let Sanniang slow down again." ”

Fennel said happily: "Okay, it's better for my mother to be the mother, I'll cook at home." ”

Liang took the bracelet and went out, Zuo Gui was spinning around the room with his hands behind his back, suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked Zuo Shaoyang: "You say, this prescription can really give birth to a stillborn?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang also smiled: "Yes, Dad, I'm also strange, maybe this is called no coincidence and no book." ”

Zuo Gui laughed, turned around the room a few times with his hands behind his back and returned to sit down behind the table, he didn't laugh anymore, he thought about it and laughed again: "You say, this is really strange!" Why is this father's head suddenly so bright? I don't use so many recipes, but I choose this recipe, isn't this the will of heaven in the dark? Isn't this God's eye-opening? Okay, okay, I'm going to use this recipe to treat this disease in the future, and this is also our Zuo family's ancestral secret recipe, right? Hahaha"

Zuo Shaoyang was startled when he heard this, and used this method to treat someone else's stillbirth, so I don't know if I'm looking for trouble, but I don't know how to persuade him not to do this, and after thinking about it, he can only take one step at a time. Fortunately, the situation of stillbirth is relatively rare, and most of the cases will give birth to stillbirths smoothly, without taking medication, only a few cases will be stillborn, and a very small number will endanger the life of the mother. So there aren't many chances of this kind of thing.

It was slowly getting dark. In between cooking, the fennel lit the oil lamp and placed it on the table.

When he was about to close the store, Liang returned. She was carrying a heavy money bag in her hand, with irrepressible joy on her face, and after entering the house, she put the money bag on the long case: "Guess, how much did the bracelet cost?" ”
