Chapter 32 A Prescription for a Tael of Silver
Meng Yaqin is the only daughter of the Meng family, and Meng's mother also loves her, giving her a few dozen yuan as pocket money every month, in addition to making new clothes and buying new jewelry for her, I don't know how many girls in the village are envious, and even some girls will please her for this, get close to her, and want to get some benefits from her.
It is precisely because of this kind of envy and flattery that her whole person gradually floated up, and unconsciously gave birth to some arrogance, feeling that it was appropriate for people to please her, so she would never do such a thing as easing the atmosphere.
In this way, there is no problem with Yang Jin's performance, and there is no problem with Meng Yaqin's performance, so is the reason for such a strange atmosphere because of Ning Ning?
Chen Shuang immediately dispelled this thought, and Gu Changning's performance was no problem.
Although she has a lot of ideas, she is not a noisy person, don't look at her is only eight years old, as old as herself, but her style of action has gradually taken the form of an adult, and she is the most calm personality in this group of friends, she has always behaved like this, how can it be the reason for the current embarrassing situation?
Chen Shuang has been frowning and pondering, in the past, when the four of them walked together, they would talk to each other more or less, and they had never been so silent as at this moment, and the atmosphere was so awkward, why was this?
At this moment of lightning, Chen Shuang stopped in an instant, and the whole person was stunned in place, his face shocked.
How did she forget that there were four people in total, and three of them were normal, and the remaining one was not normal?
And the rest is herself!
"Shuang'er, what's wrong with you?" Gu Changning walked on Chen Shuang's left side, and suddenly felt her stop, looked back at her with a little confusion, and saw her eyes wide open, looking frightened.
"Huh? No, no, no, nothing! Chen Shuang came back to his senses and hurriedly shook his head and said.
“…… We're at the river, so be careful not to fall into the river. Gu Changning saw that she looked like she was out of the world, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said.
"Oh, okay." Chen Shuang hurriedly answered, and then cautiously walked to the river, took off his shoes and stepped on the stones by the river, and was ready to start washing clothes.
All the children began to learn to work for the family at the age of six, and the eight-year-old children could already help the family wash clothes, so the prevention of men and women in the village was not as serious as that of the big families, and the difference between men and women at the age of seven was not so particular, otherwise the work at home should not be done, so even if you take off your shoes and go into the water, it will not be a problem.
It's just that Meng Yaqin boasts that she is a big family in Xinghua Village, even if she comes out to wash clothes, she has to learn from those young ladies, her shoes are still tightly covered by her feet, and she is cautious about approaching the river, while washing her clothes, she must pay attention not to get her shoes wet, and she has to take care of both ends, so she can't be busy.
When Yang Jin turned around, he saw such a scene, and he frowned slightly, and snorted unhappily: "Something's wrong." ”
If you're so afraid of getting your shoes wet, don't go out to the river to wash your clothes!
Gu Changning held her in one hand and a basin in the other, and walked towards Chen Shuang with her: "Okay, find a place to wash your clothes quickly, the sun will come out in a while, and it should be sunburned." ”
Yang Jin focused on washing clothes, and was too lazy to look at Meng Yaqin's style.
At this moment, a high-pitched voice came from behind them.
"Yo, isn't that the Changning of the Gu Shan family? In such a good mood, how about coming to the river to wash clothes? ”
Gu Changning's hands were rubbing his clothes, and his brain instantly appeared with this person's name.
Dr. Li's wife!
Hearing the sound, the four little girls who were squatting by the river to wash clothes looked back almost at the same time, and saw Li Niangzi and two other village women walking from the end of the village road, and the three of them were also holding their clothes in their hands, and it seemed that they had come to wash clothes.
Originally, in addition to Gu Changning's four people by the river, there were seven or eight aunts who were also washing clothes, and they were talking quietly in two or three of them, before Li Niangzi came, they just secretly looked at Gu Changning, although there was a curious light in their eyes, but they didn't dare to say anything in front of Gu Changning.
After all, the population of the Gu clan is still quite a lot in Xinghua Village, accounting for almost one-third of the number.
Although Gu Changning lost his father, the ancestral hall of the Gu family is still there, in order to look good, the Gu patriarch will not let people with foreign surnames bully the people of his family.
Of course, if this bully is a Gu person, it will be difficult to say.
So from just now, the voices of those aunts gradually became quieter, making eye contact with each other, clicking on Gu Changning's side from time to time, and then talking in a whisper in a voice that was so low that it was almost inaudible.
It wasn't until Mrs. Li appeared that there was a good show to watch, so they raised their heads excitedly, staring at that side with their eyes no longer hidden, looking forward to the escalation of the war in their hearts.
Gu Changning vaguely noticed that there were several lines of sight on her body behind her, piercing her back like a needle prick, and she didn't have to look back to know that it must be those people who saw the excitement here and were looking at it with great interest.
Gu Changning pursed his lips, ignored all these gazes and looked at Mrs. Li, with a faint expression on her face, ignoring the hidden meaning in her words, and said in a calm tone as if she didn't understand: "Aunt Li is also here to wash clothes?" ”
It's only been more than a month since Gu Shan's death, and she is now here to say that she is in a good mood, isn't this secretly saying that she is not filial?
However, Gu Changning didn't bother to be angry with her about this matter, she just wanted to wash her clothes and go back quickly, and she didn't want to have anything to do with Mrs. Li at all.
But she thinks so, it doesn't mean that people are willing to let her finish washing her clothes quietly.
Mrs. Li and the other two aunts walked along the stone road all the way to the river not far from Gu Changning and them, put down the basin in their hands, and when they heard Gu Changning's words, they spoke a little weirdly: "Isn't this something that a discerning person knows at a glance, it's not for washing clothes, who will come to the river." ”
The atmosphere by the river froze for a while, everyone looked at each other, and they all communicated with the people next to them with their eyes, and several aunts who were originally washing clothes by the river put down their movements and only paid attention to the situation here.
Gu Changning was indifferent to her obviously unkind tone, as if he had swung a fist hard but hit the cotton, lowered his eyes, and said lightly: "Oh." ”
Chen Shuang noticed that something was wrong between the two, and secretly reached out and tugged at Yang Jin's sleeve, looking at her in disbelief, with panic in his eyes, not knowing what was going on.
Yang Jin actually didn't know the contradiction between Li Niangzi and Gu Changning, but this was not the time to figure out the reason, so she frowned, shook her head at Chen Shuangwei invisibly, and signaled her not to intervene at this time.
Meng Yaqin squatted a little farther away from them, and her eyes swept around Li Niangzi and Gu Changning with a curious expression, and the confusion in her heart was like a cat scratching, scratching it.
Seeing that she responded to herself so indifferently, Mrs. Li ignored her attitude, her face sank, and she said with a smile: "Changning, I heard that you had a dispute with Aunt Zhou yesterday afternoon, and it was quite a big trouble, my aunt knows that you just lost your father, and I am not happy, but I can't spread my anger on others, Aunt Zhou is still an elder, you do this, it's not good?" ”
"Was my aunt at my door yesterday?" Gu Changning's expression remained unchanged, and he asked as if he was not affected by her words at all, but he was actually very bored in his heart.
These people always want to stab her with the news of Gu Shan's death, and they have to mention it from time to time, just to see her sad.
Although she knew that Gu Shan was not dead, she could only pretend to be sad and angry, so as to prove that she was not indifferent to Daddy's "death", so as not to give them the opportunity to publicize her cold-blooded ruthlessness outside in the future.
But in this way, it made people feel very irritable, Gu Changning endured the emotions in his heart, and let himself not be caught.
“…… That's not true, I've heard it too. Listening to Gu Changning's words, Mrs. Li responded with some unnatural expressions on her face.
Mrs. Li felt weak because the person who told her about this was the family in the north of Xinghua Village, and it was strange that they could say good things about Gu Changning's family.
"Oh, that's no wonder." Gu Changning nodded, deliberately making an unhappy look, but replied very indifferently in his heart, "Although Daddy's absence makes me feel very uncomfortable, but I won't spill my anger on others, yesterday's incident is for a reason, my aunt doesn't know, in fact, yesterday it was Aunt Zhou's chicken who ran into my family's vegetable garden to steal food, and when I drove it out, it happened to be seen by Aunt Zhou, who came to look for chickens, which caused a little misunderstanding, and then the misunderstanding was clarified, and Aunt Zhou also went back with her big, how, Didn't the person who told Aunt Li about this explain it? ”
Mrs. Li was embarrassed by her question, and Yu Guang saw that the rest of the women who were washing clothes by the river also cast curious glances at her, and suddenly felt that she had lost face in front of Gu Changning in public, and she was angry, and forcibly piled up a smile on her face and said: "Originally, it turns out that this is the case, and my aunt is also kind, I am afraid that your temperament will change greatly due to the loss of your father at a young age, so I came to persuade a few words, my aunt cares about you." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, Changning also knows in his heart that Dr. Li and Aunt Li are 'good people', and they also take care of our family, A-Niang was frightened and saw red a few days ago, Dr. Li knew that he immediately came to the door to show A-Niang, and left a prescription for the fetus, my brother said, the prescription is only one tael of silver, I heard that the prescription outside is more than five taels of silver, so look at it, Dr. Li also gave our family less, Changning is naturally very grateful." Gu Changning said while rubbing his clothes, his voice was not loud or small, but it could make the people by the river hear it clearly, and the women who were washing clothes instantly quieted down, looking at Mrs. Li with strange eyes.
A prescription for each person actually costs one or two silver? Dr. Li's family is too dark!
Gu Changning just said that the prescription for leaving medicine will cost at least five taels of silver, which refers to the prescription for some rare diseases, and the doctor points to these prescriptions to make money, so naturally he will not stay easily, so the price of staying is extremely high.
But the fetal pills are different, the fetal pills are available in every pharmacy, the formula is basically the same, and even some people have prescriptions in their hands, which are handed down by the older generation, and those don't need to spend money, and no one is willing to ask for them for nothing.
Gu Changning would mention this matter at this time, and he only learned from Gu Huai'an who leaked his mouth a few days ago, the one or two pieces of silver for buying the prescription were slowly accumulated by his brother over the years, and they were all deceived by Dr. Li at once, how could she not be angry!
