Chapter 17 Kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs
Seeing the fabric held in Zhou's hand, Zhao Xianglan's head buzzed, her face turned pale, and her body couldn't stop trembling.
The sun shining on her body could have brought a trace of warmth, but she felt a burst of cold air go straight into the cracks of her bones, making her feel cold, and her chest seemed to be pressed by a boulder, and she couldn't breathe.
Father Xue and Zhao Xianglan have been married for a long time, not to mention the habits of women, and they know a little bit about it, knowing that she is used to embroidering a light purple orchid on the corner of her belly pocket.
The brightly colored embroidery thread in the village is rare and tight, and if someone else gets it, they will definitely be reluctant to waste it on such an invisible little dress as a belly pocket.
At this moment, Father Xue's eyes seemed to be glued, staring at Zhou's belly pocket pinched in his hand, his face was hideous and distorted, and the appearance was simply terrifying.
Seeing the expression of her man, Zhao Xianglan sighed in her heart, secretly said that it was not good, pulled Xue's father's cuffs, and said in a trembling voice: "Let's go home first, there is still something to do......"
There were many villagers around the door of Chen's house, and the women didn't know the secret, but some men who were not too old grinned at the corners of their mouths.
Before Zhao Xianglan and Xue's father got married, she was a famous pretty widow in the village, and she was unclear with several men, and after she remarried, the relationship was completely broken.
Seeing the familiar belly pocket now, the people in the know couldn't help but bring out a little on their faces, and their eyes glanced at Father Xue, even if they didn't say anything unpleasant, the ridicule and sympathy on these people's faces still embarrassed the man very much, and his heart was full of anger, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground and get into it directly.
Even if he knew that Zhao Xianglan was not a decent person before getting married, Father Xue never thought that his daughter-in-law would do such a shameless pickled thing with other men, and glanced at Zhao Xianglan's plump cheeks, he didn't say a word, turned his head and walked directly to Xue's house.
At this time, the villagers who watched the excitement also felt the taste, and guessed that the belly pocket must be Zhao Xianglan's, otherwise how could Boss Xue become so virtuous?
The couple walked briskly on the dirt road in the field, and as soon as they entered the house, Xue's father couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his hand high and slapped Zhao Xianglan hard.
The woman let out a miserable howl, and the combed and slippery bun immediately fell apart, her cheeks were red and swollen, and blood was dripping from her lips, which looked really pitiful.
It's a pity that Father Xue didn't have any pity for Zhao Xianglan, took off his cloth shoes and slammed the woman with the soles of his shoes, screaming and screaming, his voice was miserable and sharp, which frightened the seven-year-old Xue Cheng, sitting on the ground and crying at the top of his throat.
There was such a big movement in the big room, and Xue Zhong and his wife in the second room were not deaf, and they didn't want outsiders to see the joke, so they hurriedly came over to stop them, and the family tossed for a while before they stopped.
What happened to the Xue family, Xue Su didn't have to inquire to guess a few points.
Although Father Xue is not a good thing, and his temperament is also a wretch, but the men in the world can't bear to have their daughter-in-law Hongxing out of the wall, Zhao Xianglan is now involved with the village chief, and even has a baby in her stomach, the child was born in the previous life, and he is seven points similar to the village chief, thinking of this, Xue Su couldn't help but gloat, and burst out laughing.
Although the life of the Chu family is more prosperous now than before, it will definitely not be possible to sit and eat empty.
Chu Qinghe went hunting in the mountains as usual, and Xue Su was not idle, and sent the fat cream he developed to Jingyang City every now and then.
Because of his previous proximity to Wang Youqing, his laziness and laziness, and his mistreatment of Chu Qinghe's uncle and nephew, Xue Su's reputation in Anning Village was not good, and when he returned from the city and walked on the country road, he saw Xue Yue and three young girls sitting under the shade of a tree, glanced at her and muttered quietly.
"I heard that your cousin has a personal affair with Wang Xiu, is it true?"
The young girl who gave birth to a pair of hanging eyes swept Xue Su's plump body, feeling that this rumor was true.
Wang Youqing is the only talent in Anning Village, he has a very high vision, he can't look down on ordinary village girls at all, but he takes the initiative to teach Xue Su to read and learn calligraphy, if you want to say that you don't have a crooked mind, no one will believe it.
Xue Yue's face changed suddenly, and she said: "What nonsense, Wang Xiucai is also a scholar anyway, how could he hook up with a married woman, doesn't he want to be famous?" ”
While speaking, Xue Yue glared at Xue Su fiercely, just looking at the woman's fair and even skin and ruddy lips, she couldn't be jealous.
"My cousin is also a good dresser, you don't know how rough and black she was originally born, today she must have been coated with a thick layer of rice flour to make her look whiter......"
Although she is a little far away, she can't hear what these people are saying, but she doesn't have to use her brain Xue Su doesn't know if it's a good thing, after all, there are too many wrong facts that she did before she was reborn, and everyone else sees it, if you want to turn her reputation back, you have to figure it out slowly, and you can't do it overnight.
Continuing to walk, Xue Su saw seven or eight villagers gathered not far away, including men, women, old and young, and an old woman in her forties and fifties wiped her tears, looking extremely miserable.
When they looked closer, they found that they had surrounded a ploughing ox in the middle, which was so thin that the shape of the bones could be faintly seen, and it did not eat a single bite of the tender forage on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Xue Su suddenly remembered something.
In the previous life, there was a disease in the farming cattle of Anning Village, and the hind body of the sick cow was straight, it was difficult to get up and lie down, and the amount of food decreased sharply, and fifteen or sixteen died in less than a month.
Most of the villagers live on the one-third of an acre of land in their own homes, and the cattle are one of the most valuable assets.
Xue Su remembered that this disease was called ox waist rheumatism, and not only the cultivated cattle in Anning Village were infected, but few villages in the entire Jingyang City were spared.
Calculating the time, it will take another year for the diagnosis and treatment method to be passed on, and it is uncertain how many families will suffer during this period.
Xue Su has a bad reputation in the village, and she knows that many villagers are afraid that they will not believe her, but she has to remind her, otherwise she will really feel sorry for her.
Chen Zhi is Chen Shan's father and the cousin of the village chief, and he has a gentle temperament.
Xue Su walked up to him, his voice was not loud or small, and said: "Uncle Chen, it seems to have ox loins rheumatism, I have seen Mu Si save a ploughing cow before, and I have written down his method, I don't know if it is effective or not......"
Hearing this, Chen Zhi's dark face first showed a hint of joy, but after thinking about it carefully, his eyes dimmed again.
Xue Su is only sixteen, she is still just a little girl, what if something goes wrong and the ploughing cow is killed?
At the stall where Chen Zhi was hesitating, Xue Yue, who came up, pouted:
"Uncle Chen, Su Niang has been lying since she was a child, don't be fooled by her, your family only has this one ploughing cow, once there is really a three long and two short, even if the aunt is not easy to explain, it is better to ask a doctor to come and see ......"
These people's faces were full of suspicion, and none of them believed Xue Su at all.
Seeing that her kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, the woman was not a good person, hooked her lips and sneered, her eyes glanced at the sick ploughing cow, and without saying a word, she turned around and left.
Xue Yue's reputation in the village was much stronger than Xue Su's, and after listening to her words, the two young men hurried to Jingyang City, wanting to ask the horse doctor to come and see.
As soon as the villagers walked to the place, they saw a lot of people crowded at the door, and the two guys shouted at the top of their voices: "The horse doctor went to the village to see a doctor for the farming cattle, and he hasn't come back yet, so the villagers will come again tomorrow." ”
Man can wait, but oxen can't.
As soon as they heard this, these young men were all anxious, rolled up their sleeves and rushed to the medical hall, the two guys couldn't stop it at all, so they simply didn't stop it, anyway, the horse doctor was not there, even if the villagers broke in, it would be useless.
The Chen family's ploughing cow survived for seven or eight days, but it didn't save his life in the end.
This is just the beginning, there are more and more diseased cattle in the village, and even the Xue family's cattle are infected with this disease.
The horse doctor took the time to come once, and when he saw the symptoms of these sick cows, he had no way but to shake his head, and just when the people in the village were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, some people remembered what Xue Su had said that day, and remembered that this disease was called ox waist rheumatism.
Regardless of whether this is true or not, some people feel sorry for their livestock, and secretly go to Xue Su with the idea of a dead horse being a live horse doctor.
When Zhai Laohan came over, the woman was steaming the rain cake in the kitchen, Liansheng heard the movement and ran to open the door, saw Zhai Laohan standing outside the door with a bitter face, and hurriedly invited someone in.
Chu Qinghe was sharpening his knife in the yard, Zhai Laohan greeted him, and said: "I heard your daughter-in-law say before, there is a way to control the cattle, can you help the little old man, it was indeed me who was wrong before......
Chu Qinghe didn't think that Xue Su had such a great ability, recently the farming cattle in the village had been infected with strange diseases one after another, if she really had a way, she might as well give it a try.
Lian Sheng went into the kitchen and called his aunt out, Xue Su glanced at Zhai Laohan while wiping his hands, and said softly:
"I also know why Uncle Zhai came over, although this cow kidney rheumatism can be cured, but I am not very sure that it can be cured, if there is really something wrong with your farming cattle, don't rely on ......it."
Zhai Laohan nodded like pounding garlic, and said again and again: "This is natural, daughter-in-law of the Chu family, why don't you come with me?" ”
If you want to cure the disease, you must use a hot compress, no need for any rare medicinal materials, as long as you take thirty catties of black beans and one pound of vinegar is enough.
"Uncle Zhai, wait a while, I'll bring something with you."
The black beans were packed in the noodle bag, and the amount of thirty catties was really not light, Xue Su took a lot of effort to lift the noodle bag out of the kitchen, and before he could go far, his tired little face was red and panting, and fine beads of sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead.
