Chapter 132: Preventing Troubles and Getting Through Difficulties
Wan Pozi said worriedly: "I'm worried that the business of the hospital will not be as good as before, although Xiao Jiu said that someone must be able to buy our mask, but what if Ji Sanniang is bad, no one dares to buy it?" The two of us are not very old, so we can't all let our daughter-in-law raise them at this time. What should we do to subsidize the family. ”
After Mrs. Wan finished speaking, Old Man Wan slapped his head suddenly, "Oh, why are you so right?" I'm still thinking about what I want to do, or I can't stop doing it at home. There's not much I can do to help with the hospital, and it always makes me feel like a waste. But old woman, what do you think we can do? ”
Wan Pozi hugged her shoulders and wrinkled her brows, "When we were in the countryside, you were a good farmer, in addition to farming, I could also raise pigs and ducks, and I could also grow gardens and sell vegetables, which was all a way to make money." But when you get to the city, you don't have any land to plant, and I can't raise pigs anymore, so how many chickens can lay eggs even if they lay more? If I don't go out to be a mother-in-law, you can find a place to keep vigil, and we can earn a few hundred dollars a month. ”
Old man Wan is a hard-working person, he thinks Wan Pozi's idea is good, but he still has some worries, "It's okay for me to go out to fight the vigil, but if you go out to be a wife in force, then who will serve the third child?" Xiao Jiu, the third child, and Feizhi work hard every day, and if they can't even eat hot food when they return home, they feel so uncomfortable. I want to say, I'm going to earn money alone, you better stay at home and take care of the children! ”
Wan Pozi felt that what Old Man Wan said was also reasonable, and suddenly fell silent.
Old man Wan knew that she was in a hurry, and he was afraid that she would get angry, so he hurriedly persuaded her: "Old woman, don't get angry first." Let's think about it again, if you can't do it, you can look for other jobs, and this matter will not be settled in a while. ”
"Well, go to bed early, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Wan Pozi sighed helplessly and lay down.
After Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu lay down, they didn't fall asleep for a while.
Wan Lin also thought about the future situation of the medical center, and was afraid that Fu Xiaojiu would be worried, so he took the initiative to say: "Lady, don't worry, if the business of the medical center is not good for the time being, I will sell calligraphy and paintings, and I can subsidize some of the family." ”
Unexpectedly, Fu Xiaojiu said optimistically: "I'm not afraid that the business of the medical hall is not good." Even if no one goes to the doctor, and there are people who come to buy masks, even if no one even buys masks, I have other ways to support my family. ”
Hearing that Fu Xiaojiu was so optimistic, Wan Lin's heart was even more uncomfortable.
Wan Lin said with both guilt and yearning: "Supporting a family was originally what a man should do, but now this burden has fallen on the shoulders of the lady." If you support your family for a day, my heart will not be at peace for a day. I really hope that I can win the title of the Toad Palace, the title of the gold list, and enjoy the court when the time comes, and I will no longer have to work so hard to support my family. ”
Fu Xiaojiu turned over, even at night, through the glimmer of light outside the window, Fu Xiaojiu could clearly see Wanlin's bright star-like eyes.
Fu Xiaojiu rubbed it into Wan Lin's arms, and said softly: "You may not believe it when I said it, making money is my pleasure, I just like the feeling of watching the money fall into my money bag every day." I never felt that raising a family was the contrary, I also found it fun to earn money to support my family, and it also proved my ability and made me feel alive. ”
Wan Lin lowered his head, kissed Fu Xiaojiu's hair gently, slowly hugged her tightly, and did not speak again.
Fu Xiaojiu also quietly enjoyed Wanlin's gentle embrace, and unconsciously fell asleep.
Things are really similar to what Wan Pozi thought, the business of the medical hall can be described as "plummeting", in the morning, there are only three people who come to see Fu Xiaojiu, and they are all former patients, who are here to grab medicine and follow-up.
Wan Pozi inquired about the neighbors, and it was said that Sun Langzhong's medical hall was full of people to see a doctor early, much more than the people who came to Fu Xiaojiu to see a doctor.
When Wan Pozi heard this, she immediately felt a big bubble in her mouth.
"What can I do? Why don't we go find Li Dalong! ”
Wan Pozi was very anxious and couldn't stand such a gap.
"Mother, don't panic first. We can't go to Li Dalong yet. Otherwise, those people would come back to me unwillingly, and if they were angry in their hearts, and they would say that I was a quack doctor like that crazy old man, wouldn't I be too wronged? ”
Fu Xiaojiu's tone was very calm, and there was no anxious look on his face.
Even if Wan Pozi felt that what Fu Xiaojiu said was right, she was unwilling, and said angrily: "This Sun Langzhong is really a sinister thing!" I think it's a scum who is ruined on the outside! I'll go to him, and none of you will stop me!" ”
"Mother!"
Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Feizhi immediately stopped her together.
Wan Pozi said helplessly: "Don't stop me, I'm not going to fight with him!" I just want him to see me, so I can know if his medical skills are good. ”
Fu Xiaojiu hurriedly said: "I don't worry about you going by yourself, if you really want to go, I'll let Feizhi accompany you." But before you go, I'm going to take your pulse and see how your body is. ”
Wan Pozi rolled up her sleeves and put her hand on the consultation table, "Okay, I have long wanted you to check my pulse, but I always forget." ”
From the first time he saw Mrs. Wan, he felt that although Mrs. Wan looked fierce, her complexion was not bad, and she was a rare healthy person among her peers.
After Fu Xiaojiu checked Wan Pozi's pulse again, he once again confirmed that Wan Pozi was in good health, and there was no major illness except for some very small problems that were basically at this age.
After Wan Pozi knew that she was in good health, she was in a good mood, and Fu Xiaojiu told her how to see that a Lang was skilled in medicine, so Wan Pozi and Wan Feizhi went out.
Fu Xiaojiu felt a little lonely sitting alone in the medical hall, she was going to make a pot of tea, so she simply took a leisurely day.
Fu Xiaojiu made tea and ate it with dates, when Li Dalong suddenly walked in.
Fu Xiaojiu immediately stood up, looked at him in surprise and said, "Brother Li? How did you get to me? ”
Li Dalong looked around the medical hall, and then walked to the door of the hut to take a look, and also showed a surprised expression.
"Where have all the people gone?" Li Dalong asked incredulously.
Fu Xiaojiu smiled indifferently, "My mother-in-law and sister-in-law have gone out, if you want to talk about patients, they may be in the newly opened medical hall on Qingjie." ”
Li Dalong frowned, "The newly opened medical hall on Qingjie? Are you talking about the hospital that delivered the eggs yesterday? ”
Fu Xiaojiu nodded, "Yes." Brother Li, I think you seem to know like this? ”
Li Dalong poured himself a cup of tea, sat down opposite Fu Xiaojiu, and ate another date before saying, "I went out for two days and only came back last night." When I got home, I heard that the newly opened medical clinic was a moth. To say that the shopkeeper of that medical hall is really willing to spend his blood, he actually gave away a day's eggs! It's the first time I've met such a generous person! ”
Fu Xiaojiu said with a complicated expression: "I have never seen such a businessman who is so generous and benevolent, not doing business to make money, but only happy for himself." ”
Li Dalong slapped the table suddenly, glared and said: "He's a bullshit businessman, I think he's a charlatan!" ”
Fu Xiaojiu looked at Li Dalong inquiringly and asked, "Why do you think he is a liar?" ”
Li Dalong put away the anger on his face, took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I guessed." But it seems that you also thought that he was a liar, right? ”
Fu Xiaojiu nodded.
Li Dalong smiled appreciatively, "This is what the hero sees." But this Sun Langzhong's trick is really ruthless, I have already looked around just now, whether it is the medical hall on Fu Street or Qing Street, all of them are deserted, and there are many doors, only there is a long queue at the door of one of his medical halls. Even when your business is good, it's less than one-third of the people he has. ”
Hearing such a blow, Fu Xiaojiu didn't react, and said calmly: "It seems that his eggs are really not given away in vain, but I don't know when I will be able to recover all the capital of the eggs." ”
Li Dalong asked strangely, "You're not in a hurry?" Aren't you afraid that he will rob you all of your jobs? ”
Fu Xiaojiufeng said lightly: "If he is really a miracle doctor and has robbed my business since then, I have no complaints." A man can't hang himself from a tree anymore, and if he really blocks my way, I'll just go and make a way out. ”
Fu Xiaojiu's attitude made Li Dalong admire him very much, and couldn't help asking, "Have you already thought of other ways out?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu pointed to the shelves that did not have a few bottles of medicine and said: "I am going to officially sell a secret Chinese medicine mask, this mask has already had a certain number of customers, and the mask is sold, and our family will not starve to death." ”
"Masks? What is this? "Where does Li Dalong know what women use, even if Ji Sanniang has been selling fat powder for so many years, he can't tell which one is lipstick, which one is rouge, and which one is gouache.
Fu Xiaojiu said patiently: "The mask I sell is blended with traditional Chinese medicine, a kind of ointment-like thing for beauty and beauty on the face, and it will be washed off after being applied to the face for a while, which can make the face white and tender, and remove spots and acne." ”
After listening to Fu Xiaojiu's explanation, Li Dalong snorted uninterestedly, "The things you women use are really troublesome." But I think you women can like it, and it will definitely sell well. By the way, how much is a bottle of your mask? ”
Fu Xiaojiu stretched out a finger and said, "One tael of silver and a bottle." ”
Li Dalong was a little surprised and said: "It's really not cheap!" No wonder you said that this mask is sold, and your family will not starve to death! ”
Fu Xiaojiu smiled and said: "My mask is only one tael of silver a bottle, but the autumn cream of Sanniang's fat powder shop costs five taels of silver a bottle, and the ladies of those rich families are not all vying to buy it?" ”
Hearing "Sanniang Fat Powder Shop", Li Dalong's expression froze for a moment.
I'm really afraid of something, before Li Dalong could say anything, a pretty shadow appeared at the door, and Ji Sanniang walked in gracefully.
"Yo, Fulang Zhong is so idle today! Do you have time to chat with someone? ”
