A few days later, Rizheng came to the door.

"Jin'an girl, the grain land matter is done."

"Grandpa Lizheng has worked hard for you, sit down and drink a glass of water first." Su Jin'an heard Li Zheng gasping for breath when he was walking, and he spoke as if he had phlegm in his throat, and poured a glass of space pool water for Li Zheng.

Li Zheng was also thirsty and drank it all.

"Hey, your water is delicious, sweet and delicious, and it is much more comfortable in your throat after drinking it." Rizheng was surprised.

"This is what I took in the mountains, maybe the spring water in the mountains needs to nourish people, but unfortunately the spring water dried up when I took it later."

"Well, that's a pity." Rizheng was a little disappointed.

"But I've got some left, and I'll fill it up with a water bag when you leave. I also think you have to speak much more clearly after drinking. ”

"That's... So what's so embarrassing? ”

"It's okay, we're still young, and drinking it is no different from drinking ordinary water." Su Jinan would never say that he was doing an experiment to see the effect of the space pool water.

"Then thank you very much, Miss Jin'an is so kind, then the Huang family is not worthy of such a good girl as you." Li Zheng said with some righteous indignation.

"It's okay, it's all over, Grandpa Lizheng, didn't you come to talk about the grain land?"

"Oh, by the way, look at my old man's bad memory. That's right, there were only twenty acres of vacant land to sell, but yesterday Na Qiao Sheng sold all five acres of land at home, and there were twenty acres. ”

Although it is a good thing for Su Jinan to buy more land, the people have the land for the sky, and they will not sell the land if there is no major event.

Therefore, Su Jinan asked the doubts in his heart: "Grandpa Lizheng, do you know why the Qiao family wants to sell the land?" ”

"Alas, it's not for his perennial sick mother. Speaking of which, this Qiao Sheng is also pitiful, his family is poor, and he can barely get by by farming and hunting on weekdays. It's just that five years ago, his old lady began to cough and cough up phlegm, which could be relieved by drinking some medicine at first, but it slowly became more and more serious, and it was difficult to breathe after just a little activity. Li Zheng frowned and sighed.

took a sip of water, and then said: "In order to cure the disease, Qiao Sheng sold all the things that were worth a little money at home, and sold cattle last year, but I didn't expect to sell the field now." Because he is too poor, he has not married a daughter-in-law at the age of twenty-three. ”

It sounds like emphysema, but I don't know if the space pool water is useless, Su Jinan thought secretly.

And Su Jinan knows that emphysema is not something she can cure, although she can indeed deal with some trauma, but this emphysema is because her grandmother died of this disease in modern times, so she is very impressed.

"Grandpa Lizheng, can you take me to Qiao's house tomorrow?"

"This is fine."

Su Jinan took out enough silver to buy land and gave it to Li Zheng and sent him away.

That night, Su Jinan took out some space pool water, put it in a teapot, and cut a piece of ginseng and soaked it inside.

The reason why I did this was also helpless, otherwise I would not be able to explain how my spring water had so many effects.

Early the next morning, he took out the ginseng, brought the teapot, and sent Su Jinyu to school, and Su Jinan took Su Rui and the fire beaver and followed Li Zheng to Qiao's house.

"Qiao Sheng, are you at home?" Li was standing outside the fence and shouting.

"Eh~" I saw a lean man, dressed in a pudding vest and trousers, with a simple expression walking out.

It seems that it is Qiao Sheng.

"Uncle Li Zheng, why are you here?" As he spoke, he invited people in, and looking at the little girl next to him, Qiao Sheng became even more cramped.

Su Jinan quietly observed the layout of the house, it can indeed be called the four walls of the house, there is really nothing.

A lame table was propped up with a bamboo stick, and there was a bowl of porridge and pickles on the table, and Li Zheng frowned: "You don't have any vegetables to pick in my field, and you just don't listen to you how many times you tell you." ”

"Hehe, I'm going, pick it up and soak these pickles." Qiao Sheng touched his head embarrassedly.

Li Zheng remembered what was going on, pointed at Su Jinan and said, "Qiao Sheng, this is the person who wants to buy your land." ”

"Oh..."Qiao Sheng glanced at Su Jin'an embarrassedly, and then buried his head: "Thank you, girl." ”

"We are trading money and goods, and there is no one to thank whom." After another pause, "Can I go see your mother?" ”

"Huh? Oh ~ please... Please come with me. ”

That is, in the next room, before entering the door, Qiao Sheng shouted: "Mother, Uncle Li Zheng brought the person who bought the land to see you." ”

"Ahem~ahem~ Come in."

When I walked in, I saw an old lady with yellow skin and gray hair lying on the bed, and some diced meat could be seen sporadically in the porridge placed on a stool next to her. In fact, Qiao Sheng's mother is in her forties, but years of illness have worn people out.

"Cough~cough~ Lao Nuli and the girl came to see me, an old woman who didn't die, cough~ It's just that I don't want to sell the land, how can Qiao Sheng live if I sell the land..."The old lady cried as she spoke, "I can't cure this disease, I don't want to spend any more money to drag down my son, woo~"

"Mother, don't say these frustrating words, if you go to your son, you won't have a mother, and your son will definitely find a way to cure your illness." Qiao Sheng knelt beside the bed and pleaded.

"What are you talking about, Cuiyu, Qiao Sheng is filial, you just have to drink medicine to cure your illness." Rizheng reassured.

Su Jin'an saw all this, this Qiao Sheng is also the purest and most filial person, and this mother is not a person who blindly drags down the child.

The family is simple.

"Auntie, I have some homemade potions here, a doctor taught me the method when I coughed before, but I don't know if it will be useful for your disease, if you are willing to give it a try..."

"Cough~cough~ The girl is willing to give medicine, and my hopeless old woman naturally dares to give it a try." Qiao Sheng replied weakly.

"Brother Qiao Sheng, you go get a wrist." Su Jinan said.

Qiao Sheng immediately ran to get the bowl.

Su Jinan opened the kettle he was carrying and poured a bowl of potion, and a strong smell of ginseng spread throughout the room.

Li Zheng was surprised: "There are old ginseng here, right?" Ordinary ginseng can't be brewed like this. ”

Qiao Sheng's mother was also frightened: "Girl, I can't afford such a valuable potion from you, cough~coughcough~" was so anxious that he coughed violently.

Qiao Sheng hurriedly patted his mother on the back.

Su Jinan explained: "What kind of ginseng is it, this is just a medicinal material with a similar taste to ginseng, and Grandpa Lizheng also smells bad." ”

As he spoke, he gave Li Zheng a look.

"Oh, yes, yes, I've been a little uncomfortable these days, my nose is blocked, and my voice is not right, Cuiyu, can you listen to it?"

Qiao Sheng's mother eased up, and when she heard Li Zheng's voice, she was really a little hoarse.

asked Su Jinan again: "The girl really didn't lie to me?" ”

"Hehe, what did I lie to you? Is it to dominate your land? Auntie, don't worry. ”

Qiao Sheng glanced at Su Jin'an with complicated eyes.

Li Zheng also assisted: "That's it, don't think about it, Jin'an girl is not that kind of person." ”

"That~Okay then."

old lady

Qiao Sheng and his mother took the bowl in Su Jin'an's hand, drank it, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Hey, this medicine is really useful, I feel much more comfortable, and the air in and out is much smoother." Qiao Sheng's mother was pleasantly surprised.

When people have hope, their spirits are different, and there is light in their eyes.

"Girl, thank you so much, do you still have this medicine?"

"There's another pot here, I heard Grandpa Lizheng say yesterday, I already have medicine here, so I thought I'd bring it by the way."

As he spoke, he handed the teapot to Qiao Sheng, Qiao Sheng took it and shook a little, and the teapot seemed to weigh a thousand catties.

Qiao Sheng looked at the teapot and said to Su Jinan with a smile: "How much is this medicine?" Will it be deducted from the money from the sale of land at that time? ”

"Naturally." Su Jinan nodded.

Qiao Sheng's mother thanked him many times before letting Su Jinan and the others leave.

After leaving the hospital, Qiao Sheng did not go back, but knelt in front of Su Jin'an.

"This girl, I know that you used old ginseng in your medicine just now, and I also know that the money from selling the land is not enough." said and kowtowed again, "I am willing to sell myself to the girl to make cattle and horses, the girl can rest assured, I still have the strength to work." I just hope that the girl will not tell my mother, just that I will work in your house. ”

Su Jinan thought about it, this Qiao Sheng's character is indeed no problem, honest and capable. And it is impossible to take care of your own land by yourself, and I was going to invite some people, but it would be better if the person who was in charge could be my own person.

Qiao Sheng sold himself voluntarily, but it was a good choice.

Su Jin'an said: "I said that I won't charge money for free medicine, and the money for the land will be given to you through Grandpa Lizheng." You don't have to sell yourself. ”

Saying that, he turned around and left, but Qiao Sheng knelt in front of Su Jin'an, blocked Su Jin'an's way, and said anxiously: "The girl's gift of medicine is the girl's kindness, but I can't take it for granted, and ask the girl to accept me." ”

Su Jin paused: "You, are you really willing to sell yourself?" Do you know that after selling your body, you will be forced by the master's family, beaten and scolded to death, and the yamen will not care? ”

"I know, I do." Qiao Sheng replied in the affirmative, with firmness in his eyes.

"You go back to serve your mother first, if the medicine is effective, your mother's illness will be cured in half a month at most, if it doesn't work, your mother won't have much time, so accompany her well."

"Yes."

Su Jinan took out another ingot of ten taels of silver: "This is not land money, this is my family's salary for a year's work, knowing that your family is in urgent need now, I should pay it as an advance." ”

Qiao Sheng didn't twist anymore, took the silver and thanked him again.

Li Zheng looked at Su Jin'an's speaking demeanor and the means of buying people's hearts, she was really like a daughter cultivated by a big family.

I didn't expect that in just half a year, a person could change so much.

On the way back, Su Jinan thought that he would send a water bag yesterday and a teapot today. It looks like I'm going to have to buy a few small hydration bladders to keep in stock...
