Chapter 72: The stepmother is on guard
Fu Xiaojiu didn't hide it, and told Wan Lin everything that Feng Zhongjun's daughter-in-law heard about Li Dalong.
Wan Lin listened, his eyes moved slightly, and he whispered in Fu Xiaojiu's ear: "That Li Dalong looks both good and evil, not easy to figure out the details, he seems to appreciate your medical skills, but if he meets you again, no matter what the reason, you can't give him too much face." ”
Fu Xiaojiu nodded: "I know." Although he affirmed my medical skills and bought our tiger bones and seemed to have helped us save the emergency, I didn't think that I knew him well, and I knew how to interact with him next. ”
Wan Lin said again: "That Wei Bailu is not worthy of deep friendship, she is a philistine who only cares about her immediate interests. It's not that I look down on Shang Jia, I just think she's not good at it. ”
"I can see that she's a pay-and-pay person. It's just that I'm still not sure what her relationship with Zhou Qiaolan is? She should be climbing Zhou Qiaolan is the daughter of the county government, so she befriended her. By the way, there's something I think I should tell you. ”
After Fu Xiaojiu finished speaking, there was a hesitant look in his eyes.
Wan Lin saw Fu Xiaojiu's hesitation, patted the back of her hand, and said in a warm voice: "But it's okay to say it." ”
Fu Xiaojiu was in Wan Lin's ear and told him that Wan Kai and Zhou Qiaolan had syphilis.
Wan Lin's face changed slightly when he heard this, but his expression quickly regained his calm.
"There are still two months to go to the hospital exam, if I win the top three of Xiucai, I will definitely study in the county school, and I will definitely meet every day. Lady, do you want to tell me to ignore Wan Kai at all, or warn me, for fear that I will be spoiled by him? ”
Fu Xiaojiu looked at Wan Lin, and when he saw the meaning of inquiry in his eyes, he couldn't help but smile lightly.
Fu Xiaojiu said softly: "How could I stop you from simply ignoring Wan Kai?" I'm not warning you that I'm afraid that you will be spoiled by him, I'm afraid that when you study hard and work hard, you will be jealous of others, and they will all know that your lady opened a medical clinic on Fu Street. ”
Wan Lin was in the middle of Fu Xiaojiu's eyebrows, lightly, and looked aggrieved, "What you are worried about is your silver!" ”
Fu Xiaojiu smiled playfully, "Of course!" It's easy to get things done with silver! ”
Wan Lin leaned his face towards Fu Xiaojiu, "What?" Do you want to save money to donate money to your husband? ”
Fu Xiaojiu hurriedly pushed Wan Lin's big face aside, "I have money to donate to you, why don't I keep the silver and spend it myself?" If you don't get into the official position with your real talent and learning, don't point to the family that can donate to you. ”
Wan Lin pretended to sigh in pain, "Alas, it seems that I only have the road to the imperial examination!" ”
When Wan Lin said this, he asked worriedly: "But what if I don't get an official even if I get famous?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu said without thinking: "If you don't get an official after being admitted to the exam, then come back and be my bookkeeper, I can afford to support you!" ”
Wan Lin smiled helplessly, "It turns out that I have been studying hard in the cold window, and I want to be the bookkeeper for you!" ”
Fu Xiaojiu poked Wan Lin's shoulder, "Can't you have a little bit of interest?" Have you forgotten what you told me about your ambitions? ”
Wan Lin suddenly turned his face sideways, looked at Fu Xiaojiu fixedly, and his face was serious, "Lady, I want to discuss something with you." ”
Wan Lin's eyes made Fu Xiaojiu feel that what he wanted to discuss must be a big deal, and he immediately became serious, "What's the matter?" ”
Wan Lin curled his lips slightly, and said mysteriously: "Can you leave me some of the tiger whip?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, and then his face flushed.
"Wan Lin, I think you are full of warmth and become a hooligan!"
The couple really harvested this time, not only did they almost get together the money, but they also brought back wine and food, and Wan Pozi came out of the house when she smelled it.
As soon as Wan Pozi saw that the two of them were not carrying the burden of tiger bones, the smell of vegetables went straight to her nose, and she asked in surprise: "You two sold all the tiger bones?" ”
"Well, it's all sold!" Fu Xiaojiu said, and walked towards the kitchen, "Mother, you can eat these meals hot at night." ”
Wan Lin also followed behind Fu Xiaojiu with joy, and Wan Pozi suddenly grabbed him.
"You sold the tiger bones to the drugstore?"
Wan Lin shook his head.
"Is that being sold to a medical center? Or the county's medical hall knows the goods! ”
Wan Lin shook his head again.
"Huh? Where were the tiger bones sold? ”
Wan Pozi is curious, and if she doesn't ask, she will be upset.
Fu Xiaojiu turned his head and said lightly: "Those tiger bones have been taken away by Li Dalong. ”
"Li Dalong?" Wan Pozi blinked her eyes in surprise and gasped, "You ran into that ground snake again?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu said calmly: "We happened to run into him again." Twenty pounds of tiger bones sold him eighty taels of silver. ”
"What?" Wan Pozi almost fainted, "Twenty catties of tiger bones were sold for eighty taels of silver?" ”
Wan Lin took over, "That's right, it's this number." Tomorrow he will wrap the tiger whip, and we will go to the county seat tomorrow. ”
Wan Pozi smacked her lips in disbelief, "This Li Dalong looks fierce like a rough man, and he is so righteous." ”
Wan Lin praised his daughter-in-law, "Isn't it because Xiao Jiu healed his god?" Yes, neurotic, he also thanked Xiao Jiu for wrapping our tiger bones. Mother, don't have a high opinion of the medical hall in the county, where Langzhong doesn't know the goods! ”
Fu Xiaojiu hadn't lost hope in the county's medical hall and pharmacy, and said with expectation: "Actually, we just happened to go to that medical center, and I hope that other medical centers and pharmacies have knowledgeable goods." ”
Wan Pozi didn't care about these things, looking at the silver was a good thing.
"You two are tired of tossing and turning for a day, let's not talk about these things, put things in the stove room, and hurry back to the house to rest."
Wan Pozi took the things from Fu Xiaojiu's hand and entered the stove room with Wan Lin, she was in a good mood and her steps were light.
As soon as she walked to the door of the stove room, Wan Pozi suddenly stopped, she turned her head and said to Fu Xiaojiu: "By the way, Xiaojiu, your stepmother came in the morning." ”
"What is she doing here?" Fu Xiaojiu had a very bad impression of this stepmother, and felt that she might not be a good thing.
Fu Xiaojiu really guessed wrong this time.
"I'll tell you what's going on when I'm ready."
Wan Pozi turned around and entered the stove house, and Fu Xiaojiu still muttered a little in his heart.
As soon as Wan Pozi and Wan Lin came out, Fu Xiaojiu said to Wan Lin: "Xianggong, go back and rest first, and I'll ask our mother about my stepmother." ”
Wan Lin was not so curious, "Well, I'm in the house." ”
Fu Xiaojiu remembered that Zhu was a greedy person, and her greed for money was different from that of Wan Pozi.
Wan Pozi is greedy for money and thinks that it is all right, but the Zhu family is different, as long as she can get money, she doesn't care where the money comes from.
It's a pity that she doesn't have the way to make money, and the rich father is even more responsible, except for knowing how to dig in the field, he has no other skills.
"Mother, what is my stepmother doing? Could it be that she came to borrow money? Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help but be a little defensive.
Wan Pozi waved her hand, "No, she didn't come to borrow money." She just came to you, saying that you haven't been back to your parents' house since you got married, and she also knows that you don't like to go back, she said that the girl who married out has to go back to her parents' house no matter what she says, at least let the neighbors know that you are married well, and you are not angry in your mother's house, and you are still a girl now, and you can give your mother's family a long face when you go back. ”
Fu Xiaojiu frowned, "She came here on purpose just to let me go back to my parents' house?" ”
Wan Pozi responded: "Well, that's what she said. I said you're not at home, wait for you to come back and tell you, it's up to you to decide. By the way, when she came, Feizhi came over and asked me what I should pack, so she could hear me. She asked me what I was packing, and I didn't know why I didn't want to tell her about our move, so I said that Feizhi and I were going to my uncle's house, and I didn't tell her the truth. ”
Fu Xiaojiu was very satisfied with Wan Pozi's answer, "Mother, it's right for you to tell me so first." I don't think there's something quite right with my stepmother's visit this time, she's not the kind of person who can go out of her way to get me back to my parents' house. Even according to custom, I should have gone back, but seeing that the May Festival is approaching, it is just right for me to go back at that time, and I can prepare more gifts for my mother's family. ”
Wan Pozi asked, "Then do you mean that you want to go back, or do you not want to go back?" Don't worry about moving, we have paid all the money, and the house and shop can't run there. When you come back from your mother's house, we'll move again. It's just that your stepmother is not very reassuring, and I really don't want you to go back. ”
Fu Xiaojiu nodded, "I also want to know what she's hiding, or what purpose she has to let me go back." But it stands to reason that I shouldn't go back alone, and my husband should go back with me. My dad and brother are still at home, so she has to worry about these people even if she has any plans, right? ”
Wan Pozi asked again: "Then you still want to go back?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu thought about it carefully before saying, "Well." Since she has come to me, if I don't go back, she has to come. We'll find out if we inquire about the move. I'll come back and move when I'm back to my parents' house, and I'll tell my dad and her when I'm done. After all, she is my stepmother, if she knows that we will say goodbye and say that I am not filial, it will not be good to affect the reputation of the husband at that time. Seeing that the hospital test is about to be taken, I can't hold him back. ”
Fu Xiaojiu planned for Wan Lin like this, and Wan Pozi was moved.
"You're really thoughtful, I didn't expect it to drag down the reputation of the third child. Xiao Jiu, don't worry, you don't have to care too much about your name. If she lets you go back, it's really embarrassing for you, don't get used to her too much! When you come back, I'll help you out, and if she dares to say anything, I'll clean her up! ”
Fu Xiaojiu smiled, "Mother, don't be so nervous. I think she probably wants to use my medical skills, but nothing else. ”
As soon as Fu Xiaojiu's words fell, there was another knock on the door.
"Mother-in-law, is Xiao Jiu back?"
Hearing Zhu's voice, Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help frowning.
