"Thank you, Madame, for saving your life!" Dalang's daughter-in-law wiped her tears and got up, helped Hu Qing to get up, and asked, "My mother has been taking medicine, why did she suddenly become seriously ill?" ”

"I'm afraid you're worried, so I haven't told you, my mother's situation has not been good, the doctor said to use ginseng as a medicine primer, but how can our family afford ginseng! Recently, as long as I finished the work in the field, I went to the back mountain to try my luck, but I didn't even see a shadow of ginseng. Hu Qingyi stomped his foot, squatted on the ground and slapped the back of his head.

The coachman got Song Yao's order, and he had already unloaded the carriage and hurried to ask the doctor, leaving the carriage empty in place.

Hearing the conversation between the brother and sister, Song Yao glanced at the red sleeves and walked towards the two.

"When I went out this time, I brought some ginseng slices, although there are not many, but they can also be used in emergencies." Song Yao said softly.

"Madame means ......" Da Lang's daughter-in-law looked at Song Yao in disbelief.

Ginseng is too valuable, she doesn't believe that Song Yao can give it away for nothing.

"Ma'am, that's all we have with us." Red Sleeves took out a brocade box and opened it in front of the two brothers and sisters, and it contained a piece of ginseng.

"Leave two pieces in case you need them, and give the rest to your sister-in-law's brother, saving lives is more important." Song Yao said without blinking.

"How can this be collected?" Liu Dalang looked at the ginseng pieces in embarrassment, but he didn't dare to accept them, these ginseng pieces looked like they were old, and they were too valuable.

"This eldest brother will accept it, my wife will help some people in need every year, and I don't dare to think about the silver sent out as a slave and maid, and I don't ask for anything in return." Red Sleeves took out two pieces of ginseng, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and handed the rest to Liu Dalang.

"Big brother, just take it! In the next life, our brothers and sisters will be cows and horses to repay the kindness of our wife. Da Lang's daughter-in-law wiped her tears and said.

The people in the house, when they heard the commotion outside, also went out.

Seeing everything in full, Liu Laohan's eyes were a little deeper.

"Da Lang's daughter-in-law, you go back with your eldest brother to see your mother first, and then invite a doctor, and I will let Da Lang send it over." Liu Laohan said.

"Hey, then I'll go first." The eldest daughter-in-law responded.

"Wait a minute." Aunt Liu opened her mouth and said: "Daughter-in-law, bring some porridge to you, if your mother wakes up, it will be good to cushion her stomach." ”

"Then I'll serve porridge." Dalang's daughter-in-law answered again.

"Don't be busy, daughter-in-law, let your younger siblings send it over later." Liu Laohan waved his hand and said to Mrs. Liu: "You old woman, don't make a mess here, go to the kitchen and put some red dates and other dates left by the nobles, go to see your mother-in-law, and help take care of it." ”

"Okay." Mrs. Liu responded and beckoned her daughter-in-law to help.

Dalang's daughter-in-law, brother and sister, hurriedly trotted away, anxious about their mother.

Song Yao instructed Red Sleeves: "You go to the carriage and see, if there is anything suitable for the patient to make up for the body, prepare some." Remember, take some warm supplements, the old people are old, and some things are not applicable. ”

When Liu Laohan saw Song Yao standing in the courtyard, he beckoned: "This lady, if you don't dislike it, go to the main house to rest." ”

"Thank you, old man." Song Yao nodded and walked towards the main house.

Liu Laohan was the head of the family, and he was sitting on the kang, and when the others saw Song Yao enter the house, they all stood on the ground, embarrassed to approach.

"The old man's ancestors are from the north?" Song Yao saw that everyone was nervous, so she chatted about her daily routine, "Here in Yunzhou City, fire kang is rare. ”

"The ancestors have come from the north to beg for a living, and they are used to sleeping on this kang kang, and they also suffer very much when they go down to heaven." Liu Laohan answered.

"Yes, it's hot in the summer here in Yunzhou City, but the bed is still cold in winter, and I've been here for a few months, but I'm a little uncomfortable at first." Song Yao chuckled, and when she saw a small head melon exposed behind Liu Laohan, she smiled kindly, untied the purse around her waist, poured out two sugar balls and handed them over, "Do you want to eat sugar?" My son's favorite candy ball. ”

The little guy swallowed his saliva, looked up at Liu Laohan, and didn't dare to speak.

"Thank you, ma'am." Liu Laohan looked at his grandson, and his heart softened.

If they weren't too poor, this grandson wouldn't have been weak since he was born, and he hadn't taken a good look at the doctor for so many years, let alone eaten something good to nourish his body.

"Thank you, ma'am." The little guy took two candy balls, ate one by himself, and fed one to Liu Laohan's mouth, "Grandpa, eat it, it's sweet." ”

"Grandpa's good grandson!" Liu Laohan laughed, and the old man's face was only moved.

There were still a few half-sized girls in the room, all staring at Song Yao's hand, but no one opened their mouths to ask for candy balls to eat.

"There are a few more here, one of you and some left." Song Yao beckoned to a little girl and asked her to come over and get the candy ball.

"Madame's reward, you can take it and go out to play." Liu Laohan said.

A few little girls took the candy ball, and after thanking them, one took one, and gave the rest to the little boy, who was very sensible.

After the girls went out, only the four ancestors and grandsons of Liu Laohan were left in the house, as well as Song Yao.

"Madame is really just passing through here?" Liu Laohan asked out loud.

"Don't hide it from my uncle, I originally heard that there were sailors in this village and wanted to come over and invite someone." Song Yao chuckled, but what she said was a half-truth: "But this morning, I changed my mind again." ”

"May I ask Madame why she changed her mind?" Liu Laohan habitually filled a bag of cigarettes and asked.

"Before I came, I inquired and knew why the people in this village were reluctant to go to sea again, and I thought that as long as I hired a lot of money, I would definitely get what I wanted."

Song Yao laughed self-deprecatingly: "But yesterday I was uncomfortable, and I went back to the past in my sleep." Because I have ancestral recipes and I have good cooking skills, as long as I am willing to sell the recipes or go to a big family to be a cook, my son and I will not have that precarious life. But I don't want to be sorry for my ancestors, and I don't want to send people under the fence. I'd rather work all the way and eat chaff than bow to life. ”

After speaking, Song Yao looked at the little guy who was listening to her carefully, but had a blank face, and showed a maternal smile.

"It's the two years of Ansheng that have made me forget my persistence, and I'm too self-righteous." Song Yao said apologetically: "If there is any disturbance, please forgive the old man, when the coachman comes back, if my sister-in-law's mother's side does not need any more help, our master and servant will leave, and the old man will only be there if we have not come." ”

Liu Laohan didn't make a sound, he glanced at Song Yao deeply, and wanted to light the dry tobacco, but after hesitating, he still put down the cigarette pouch and pot.

After the red sleeves entered the house, Song Yao took the red sleeves to go outside, without lobbying the Liu family.

On the contrary, it was the Liu family themselves who held a family meeting for a short time to discuss the credibility of Song Yao's words.

Revenge is the common wish of everyone in their village.

But they didn't dare to mention it to others easily, for fear that the Cao family would know that they still had the intention of revenge, and completely cut off their way of life.
