Chapter 32: Bo Liang's Relatives
Listening to Zhou's curse Mao Mao is better than dying, Liu cried breathlessly, his eyes swept to the big house with a light like a bean, rushed to the door of the big house, knocked on the door and said urgently: "Sister-in-law, I know you have private money in your hand, give it to me, no, lend me some consultation money, I will pay you back in the future......"
The Song family did not close the door like the Zhou family, but opened the door calmly, leaned against the door frame, snorted from the nose, and said disdainfully: "Third brother and sister, are you teasing me?" I have no money, and I have given it to the willow tree. Or, you go and take care of Zhao Yinsheng to borrow some more? There are three brothers and sisters who come forward, and they can get fifty wen, and they can also get ten taels or eight......"
Song's tone was frivolous, clearly alluding to the fact that there was a personal relationship between Liu and Zhao Yinsheng, and there was a five-foot nail rake in his eyes, which made people look extremely uncomfortable.
Liu grabbed Song's sleeve, tears rained down, and begged bitterly: "Sister-in-law, Mao Mao fell into the river because of the banquet of the willow tree, you should be pitiful and pitiful to this baby, and give up dozens of dollars for medical ......."
Song shook off Liu's hand like a hot potato, and his disgust was overflowing, like a fried rooster crowing: "What's the matter?!" It's still false, isn't it? Then we have to start from the beginning and say, if it weren't for your man's illness, we would have been able to quit our husband back then? Can it be a cloth white like now? If you can marry a widow and a daughter-in-law, I didn't settle accounts with you, but you came to me first......"
The more Song spoke, the more annoyed and aggressive, Liu was forced to retreat step by step, and finally was pushed far away by Song, stumbling and falling to the ground, and when he stood up, Song had closed the door with a "stuck".
Liu's face was gloomy and extremely disappointed, and a burst of exaggerated and harsh ridicule came, and Liu didn't need to turn his face to know that it was his second sister-in-law, Qiao.
Qiao Shi pushed open the window, held a handful of peanut kernels in his hand, threw them in his mouth and chewed them, and said with a sneer: "Third brother and sister, don't be stupid!" Although this family is not separated, what is the difference between it and the separation of the family? Haven't you swept the snow in front of your door? Our mother only has children and grandchildren in her eyes, how can we have these foreign melon seedlings? If the old lady wants to eat some peanuts, she has to spend private money. If you can get a penny from our mother's hand, I will help you wash a month's worth of sunflower water! ”
Seeing resentment in Liu's eyes, Qiao sighed: "No, no, not necessarily!" You changed the consultation fee to coffin money, and our mother might give it as soon as she was happy? ”
"Joe-Big-Spring!!" Liu gritted his teeth with hatred.
Qiao's body trembled deliberately, hugged his shoulders and said, "Yo, when the soft melon is also hard, I'm so afraid!" ”
Joe slammed the window shut.
Liu's eyes turned into swollen peaches from crying, and he walked to the door of the fourth room with the last glimmer of hope, and slapped the door of the fourth room twice helplessly.
Different from Song's aggressiveness and Qiao's schadenfreude, Chen opened the door with a guilty face, and said with a difficult face: "Third sister-in-law, it's not that I don't help you, it's really that the dowry in my hand is not as rich as that of my sister-in-law, and I don't have the savings of my second sister-in-law, only this silver clove remains, or ......."
Chen spread his hand in front of Liu, and in the palm of his hand lay a pair of small silver cloves, only the size of a grain of wheat.
Liu's heart was sincere, and he reached out to take it, but Chen was already choked up, crying: "This is the only thought that my mother left me in this world before she died, other jewelry was stolen by my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law who killed a thousand knives and lost her conscience, why is she so poisonous......"
Liu's hand stopped in the air awkwardly, neither advancing nor retreating, only hesitated for a moment, Chen had already withdrawn the cloves, and cried with joy: "I know that the third sister-in-law is different from my mother-in-law, and sympathize with my difficulties......"
Liu was stunned, and when he looked at Chen again, Chen had already turned around and returned to the house.
After turning around in such a big circle, it took half an hour of effort, and Liu was even abused, ridiculed, and routined, and he didn't even catch a copper plate, and Hua Langzhong had already been invited.
As soon as he saw that the Liu family opened the door to greet him, none of the other Liu family members showed up, Hua Langzhong's face changed immediately, and he guessed in his heart that Liu Wu was afraid that he would not come, so he deliberately vaguely said that the Liu family was sick, which made him preconceived that the willow family's stomach hurt again, but he didn't expect it to be a person from the third room.
Hua Lang has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years, and the patients are all from the nearby villages of ten miles and eight villages.
Especially the illness of the Liu family's three rooms, the middle door of Hualang is clear. I was also most annoyed to see a doctor in these three rooms, especially after the old man Yin Dianwu died, although he only consulted him a few times, it left him a lifelong shadow.
Because, whether it is the dead Liu Changhe, or the later willow hair, or the catkins who were knocked out a few days ago, the result of Liu's consultation in the third room is that he only asks for a diagnosis and does not prescribe medicine, and he also beats a rake, saying that he is a quack doctor who cheats money.
Each consultation is only five copper plates, Guan Zhou's want to get up is like waiting for mosquitoes to, Fei is getting old, and finally Hua Langzhong is angry and will no longer treat the Liu family, this time Zhou's is soft, honestly took out five cents, turned his head and scolded the mother and daughter of the third room.
Hua Langzhong's face was pale, and he was very unhappy: "Is it for Liu Mao's medical treatment?" ”
Liu nodded dumbly.
Hua Langzhong spread out his palms and said: "To see Liu Mao, you have to pay the consultation fee first." ”
Liu Changdi's face was angry: "Hua Langzhong, I haven't prescribed medicine yet, how many copper plates can the diagnosis fee have, and it can still be worse than yours?" ”
Hua Langzhong shook his head and said, "Brother Changdi, I am such a Langzhong in the nearby Ten Miles and Eight Villages, can I not know what the situation is?" Look at the way the door of the main house is closed, do I look like I can get a consultation fee? It won't hurt me to run for nothing, right? ”
Liu Changdi was choked back with a word, and he really couldn't find the words to defend Zhou. This week's disadvantage to Sanfang, I'm afraid that the reputation has long been outside.
Liu Changdi said helplessly: "Hua Langzhong, you can take a look, the Liu family in the second room of this silver will not give it, and my big room Liu family will give it, so you can put your heart in your stomach." ”
For the consultation fee and medicine money, Liu Changdi still has confidence.
Liu Wu gave Liu Changdi five taels of silver, three taels to buy dairy sheep, and two taels to buy eggs and millet.
Liu Changdi was not embarrassed to spend all the catkins silver, but added his own two taels of silver, a total of seven taels of silver, three taels to buy dairy sheep, half two to buy eggs and millet, and the remaining three taels of silver, just waiting for the right time to return to the catkins.
Since Liu Changdi spit out, Hua Langzhong is not good at giving Sanfang a face, calming down, giving Liu Mao a good pulse, sometimes soothing, sometimes frowning, seeing that Liu and Liu Changdi's hearts are up and down, and their hearts are not bottoming.
After a long time, Hua Langzhong sighed and said, "This baby, why is this life!?" Same as his father......."
Liu's heart suddenly folded, and he said in a trembling voice: "Hualangzhong, Mao Mao, Mao Mao, he, he is also ......" Tears fell in strings, if it was the same as his father, wouldn't he live for a few days?
Hua Langzhong saw that Liu's thought was wrong, so he hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Changhe daughter-in-law, don't think about it, your baby can't die, it's just that he has been soaked in water for a long time, and after drinking the medicine that warms and replenishes his vitality, he will be able to wake up later." ”
Liu's heart relaxed a little, but Liu Changdi did not relax, and asked, "Then why are you still the same as my third brother of Changhe?" ”
Putting aside the ugly face when he wanted to see the gold, Hua Langzhong was not a bad person, he glanced at Liu sympathetically, and sighed: "The last time I consulted Liu Mao, I told your mother-in-law that I want to make up for this baby. It's just that the disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes like a thread, and it is easy to treat the symptoms, but it is difficult to cure the root cause. It's not difficult to wake up, the cold in the body is completely cleared, and you have to take some warm medicine all year round, so I said, this baby, like his father, must be provided with silver all year round, which is not difficult in the rich and noble, but in the poor family, it is difficult......"
Liu was stunned, no wonder, in the past, Zhou scolded Liu Mao for being the same as Changhe, suffering from the disease of wealth and nobility, and being a "bottomless pit", and he was even more reluctant to care about Liu Mao's body, whether it was dead or alive, I am afraid that Hua Langzhong had said the same thing to Zhou before, so Zhou thought that Liu Mao was hopeless and a disaster for the Zhou family? !
Liu Changdi gasped, calmed down and asked: "Hua Langzhong, since you have taken the pulse and looked at the lesion, why should you prescribe a few days of medicine first, let Mao Mao raise it first, and then I will find a way to make up for it." ”
For Liu Changdi's efforts to help the three rooms, Hua Langzhong was in awe, directly put down the medicine box, took out a few small cloth bags from the bottom layer, weighed out several medicinal materials respectively, divided them into three parts, and pointed to Liu Changdi: "Changdi nephew, you are a kind and righteous, I Hua Langzhong respects you, this trip, I only earn five cents for the consultation, the cost of medicinal materials to you, these ordinary medicines are one or two silver, you can also pass if you want to, pay every day, and drink it in three days." ”
Liu Changdi heard Hua Langzhong's words, and did not immediately agree, but asked: "Hua Langzhong, we have one to say one, two to say two, don't 'will' pass, Liu Mao's body is already weak, but it is not a matter of being able to 'settle' casually." ”
Hualang sighed in the center, he thought it was for the sake of Liu Changdi, but seeing that Liu Changdi was still stupidly insisting, he opened the medicine box and took out a handkerchief, opened it carefully, and took out a few slices of ginseng from it and said: "Liu Mao's body is weak, it is best to use the medicine of the big tonic all year round, I look at the situation of the third room, I didn't add this hundred-year-old ginseng ........"
"How much silver do you have to add to these three pieces of medicine and this ginseng?" Liu Changdi asked.
Hua Langzhong simply stopped hiding it, and said it thoroughly at one time: "Even if I calculate the cost price for you, you have to add one or two pieces of silver to each piece, and put ginseng every day for the first three days, and once every two days after that, it is best to eat it .......for two months in a row."
Liu Shi spread it on the kang when he arrived, and he got one or two taels of silver for a payment of medicinal light ginseng, plus other herbal money, the first three days were four taels of silver, and in these two months, he had at least thirty taels of silver, which was really a bolt from the blue, and it smashed on the Tianling cover impartially!
