Knowing that there were two medical clinics in the whole town, the old lady took the initiative to talk about how her grandson was bitten by a snake and how he was rescued by two little girls who were collecting medicine in the mountains, but she was not sure, so she thought about finding a doctor and taking a good look.

When Dr. Wu heard that it was a twelve-year-old little girl who was collecting medicine, he smiled, "The little girl the old lady said is surnamed Zeng, right?" This little girl has always done things safely, and the old lady is at ease. ”

"Oh, could it be that Dr. Wu knows this little girl?" Mrs. Xu asked.

"There has been a two-sided relationship, the medicinal materials she picks are sent to small shops to sell, and I heard the guys say that every time she sends the medicinal materials are sorted and packaged, they are much more careful than ordinary people." Doctor Wu praised casually.

"Oh, what is the family background of this little girl, she has to come out to beg for a living at such a young age, and there are no other adults in the family? Also, who did she learn to identify herbs? Is it ancestral? Mrs. Xu asked several questions in one breath.

Doctor Wu shook his head, because of Wang Yapo, he knew a lot about Zeng Rong, but he couldn't say these words to an outsider, so he thought about it for a while, and replied: "Miss Zeng's family is poor, and the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and children of her age generally have to do things for the family. ”

When Mrs. Xu heard that she was studying under Mr. Academy, she didn't think much about it, thinking that Zeng Rong lived in the Academy, and Mr. Academy saw that she was pitiful, so he taught her how to identify herbs, so she focused on asking Zeng Rong about her understanding of herbs and her medical skills.

Knowing that Zeng Rong did not really study medicine and only understood a little rough herbal effect, Mrs. Xu was a little disappointed.

But then I think about it, a little girl who is only twelve years old can have such a cognition after just two or three months of learning to collect medicine, which can be regarded as a bit talented.

Sending away Dr. Wu, the people who went to the village and the town to inquire also came back one after another, most of what they heard was Zeng Rong's praise, diligent, simple, and silent, probably because of the early death of his biological mother, he had to take care of housework since he was seven years old, so his temperament was a little stuffy, but this was before jumping into the lake, after jumping into the lake, he seemed to be a different person, daring to resist the arrangement of the family, and he didn't know how to move the patriarch to move out of the house, the only thing that hasn't changed is that he is still interested in his family, Especially for the sister she grew up with.

Another point, the stepmother did want to sell Zeng Rong again and again, saying that she wanted to pay tuition for the eldest to marry the second child, but the stepmother was not a good person, and after marrying into this family, instead of helping to manage her life well, she dragged the family more and more poor.

Of course, the poverty of this family cannot be blamed only on this stepmother, after all, the stepmother also gave birth to two sons for this family, not without a little contribution.

Speaking of this stepmother, Granny Ding also said one thing, saying that even if this stepmother is bad to Zeng Rong, but when she was confined, Zeng Rong still went back to work for half a day every day, helping to cook and wash clothes, to put it bluntly, it was to serve the stepmother in confinement, but this stepmother was not satisfied, she didn't eat well and the milk was insufficient, so she asked Zeng Rong to take out the money she earned, Zeng Rong didn't agree, and the stepmother asked her husband to go to the ditch to fish and catch shrimp to improve her food, for this reason, a lot of work in the field was delayed, It's all up to the eldest son to be busy in the field day and night.

People who go to the town go to the embroidery shop first, and have seen Zeng Rong's embroidery, which is indeed remarkable, not like the craftsmanship of a small place, and it is by no means a beginner's craft.

In addition, they learned about the quarrel between Zeng Rong and Wang Yapo from the embroidery lady in the embroidery shop, and later, they went to see Wang Yapo and learned about Zeng Rong and Ouyang Si.

But there is one point, whether it is the proprietress of the embroidery shop or the guy in the pharmacy, they have a good impression of Zeng Rong, the little girl doesn't say much, she does her job neatly and looks good, and she doesn't care.

These old ladies Xu are not very interested, she is more curious about whether Zeng Rong and this surnamed Ouyang have a selfish relationship, and the reason why Zeng Rong jumped into the lake and was rescued was that the surname Ouyang pointed her behind her back.

Also, why did the patriarch come forward to agree to let Zeng Rong move out, just move, or move to the academy, you know, even the cooking and sweeping people in the normal academy are men, even if you want to hire a woman, it is also a mother-in-law who is forty years old or older, let a twelve-year-old girl live inside, what will outsiders think?

Because there were too many questions, Mrs. Xu ordered someone to invite the patriarch of the Zeng clan early the next morning.

Mrs. Zeng did not meet the patriarch in person, but questioned him through the curtain, and first asked him why he agreed to let Zeng Rong move out of the house.

Before the patriarch saw Mrs. Xu, he thought that Ouyang Si's mother wanted to see him, because he had also heard that someone went to the village yesterday afternoon to inquire about Zeng Rong, so he took it for granted that Ouyang Si's mother sent someone to inquire about Zeng Rong's reputation, so as to prepare for the future proposal.

But this met Mrs. Xu's pomp, he knew that he was wrong, he was not a person who had never seen the world, and his son was also a person in the officialdom, but compared with the family in front of him, his son probably couldn't lift shoes.

Therefore, after listening to the other party's questioning, he trembled and learned Zeng Rong's experience of being sold for the second time, "The little one also saw that this girl was pitiful, and promised to only move out for a year, and go back when she earned money at the end of the year. ”

After speaking, seeing that the other party did not reply, the patriarch added in a whisper: "In addition, the little one is also worried, and one day she will not be able to keep it, and her stepmother will sell her foolishly, and the little one thinks that this is also a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good, so he made the decision to let her move out." ”

"Why do you have to move to the academy?" Mrs. Xu asked.

The patriarch of this question thought of a rhetoric when he promised Zeng Rong to move in, "Go back to the old lady, because there are no other redundant houses in the village, even if there are, we don't dare to let her live alone as a little girl, it just so happens that the sister-in-law Liu of the academy lives alone, and the little one thinks that Ah Rong can't live long, so she agreed." ”

Mrs. Xu didn't mention Ouyang Si after asking the patriarch for a long time, so she had to ask herself, but she didn't mention Ouyang Si either, what she said was that Zeng Rong saved her grandson's life, and now she put forward three conditions, she wanted to ask the patriarch's opinion, if they took Zeng Rong away, would Zeng Rong's parents agree, or what conditions would be put forward to embarrass them, and I heard that Zeng Rong had promised to exchange relatives with others, and this family affair is still not counted.
