Chapter 14: Poisoning
When it came to today's encounter, Cheng Chang seemed to have opened the conversation, and told his sister with great interest.
It turned out that it was a coincidence that these plasters were sold.
It's just that the child who often buys his firewood is naughty, he hurt his leg while playing, and he was about to buy medicine, but Cheng Chang saw it, so he strongly recommended his ointment.
Because they were all acquaintances, Cheng Chang actually used the injury on his leg as a guarantee, and the owner reluctantly bought it.
"However, when he sees the effect, he will definitely come back to me to buy it again, so we don't have to worry about not being able to sell it anymore."
Cheng Yufeng is not as optimistic as Cheng Chang: "This is ointment, and it is not eaten, how can it earn repeat customers so quickly?" However, if you can sell it today, you can think of it as a good start. ”
"yes, there's one more problem you need to solve. How do you explain these extra dozen copper plates to your parents? ”
"Why do you want me to explain?" Cheng Yufeng raised his eyebrows and spread his hands with a sly face, "The copper plate is earned by you and not by me, what can I explain?" ”
"You~"
Cheng Chang was about to refute with tears and laughter, but Qiao Shi walked in with the meal: "What's wrong?" Are you two still mysterious? ”
"It's nothing, I'm just congratulating my brother, he earned ten more copper plates today!" Cheng Yufeng stared at his brother's face with a wicked smile on his face.
Cheng Chang was nervous for fear of revealing his stuffing, and racked his brains to think about how to explain to his mother later.
"Ten? So much! ”
Qiao's eyes widened in disbelief, and after carefully counting the copper plates twice, there was a smile in his eyebrows that couldn't be hidden: "Actually, what kind of firewood did you chop this time, why did you sell so many copper plates?" ”
"Huh?"
Cheng Chang was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted: "Oh, the firewood cut this time is closer to the deep mountains, and the wood~ is also rarer than in the past, so I can sell it for more prices." ”
"That's right." The smile on Qiao's face was gradually replaced by distress, "Although the family needs money now, don't be too risky, the mountains are not safe, you better not go, ah?" ”
"Don't worry, mother, it's okay." Cheng Chang actually reminded, "Don't forget to ask your father to change some eggs tomorrow and come back, and make up for my sister." When I made more money selling firewood, I bought a chicken and came back, and this time we closed the door and ate it secretly. ”
"Okay."
Qiao Shi carefully put away the copper plate and whispered, "Don't let your father know about selling more money, otherwise, I'm afraid I will be asked to leave by the people in my hometown again." ”
Last night, the more than 100 copper plates that my mother-in-law was going to leave, she regretted it to death now when she thought about it!
At that time, if he was forced to die and did not hand it over to his mother-in-law, he might still be able to keep the money.
Cheng Chang said casually: "What are you afraid of, didn't my father say yesterday that he would never be kind to his hometown in the future." ”
Qiao Shi snorted coldly: "He's just talking, if someone from his hometown really asks for it, can he really not give it?" ”
She knows Cheng Liwan too well, sometimes she is very hard-mouthed, and when it comes to things, no matter what poisonous oath he makes, he can't change his heart of filial piety.
Cheng Yufeng and Cheng Chang looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
The village is far away from the town, so Cheng Chang usually goes to the town once every four or five days, Cheng Yufeng can just take advantage of this time to grind more ointment, fortunately, Cheng Liwan and Qiao's are rarely at home during the day, basically they are busy going out, and she can hide it well.
With eggs to supplement nutrition, plus Cheng Yufeng let Tongtong suck if he had something to do, so the milk slowly filled a lot.
Listening to the sound of her daughter's "coo-dong" swallowing, Cheng Yufeng poked her white and tender little face with relief.
I don't know if this little girl can guess her father's appearance from her appearance no matter how long she grows.
Thinking like this, Qiao's exclamation suddenly came from outside the door: "Liwan! OneVan! What the hell are you doing! Don't scare me! Come on~Come on~"
What's wrong?
Cheng Yufeng hurriedly wrapped her daughter, wrapped herself in an airtight airtight and rushed out.
Outside the gate, I saw Cheng Liwan hiding on the ground with a pale face, his black and purple lips pursed and foaming at the mouth, while Qiao Shi knelt helplessly beside him, his face full of tears.
"Mother! Dad, what's wrong? Cheng Yufeng hurriedly rushed up.
Just as he was about to check Cheng Liwan's pulse, a neighbor was shouted out by Qiao's cry, and he was also startled when he saw Cheng Liwan lying on the ground.
"Sister-in-law of the Cheng family, what's wrong with Brother Cheng?"
Qiao Shi couldn't help crying: "I don't know, I'm working in the field, he fell to the ground with a bang, no matter how he shouted." ”
Cheng Yufeng took a closer look at Cheng Liwan's situation, and frowned tightly: "It's so cold outside, hurry up and find a way to get my father into the house." ”
"Oh oh, good!"
Qiao wiped away a handful of tears and took Cheng Liwan back into the house with his neighbors.
"Feng'er, you look at your father at home first, I'll go and ask Li Langzhong from the village to come over and show your father."
Cheng Yufeng grabbed Qiao's arm: "Do you still need to watch this?" The lips are black and purple, and my father is clearly poisoned! ”
