Chapter 32: Shocking
When he arrived at Song Lang's Chinese medicine shop and told Zhou Liangyu's condition, Song Langzhong reconsidered the prescription.
"How much?" Liu Meibao looked at the guy handing over the medicine and asked.
"What kind of money is not money..."Song Langzhong came over and stuffed the medicine bag to Liu Meibao, and sighed, "Take it." ”
"How does this work?" Liu Meibao shook her head and took out the money bag from her arms.
"I don't talk either, I can't save more money, and the only thing I can save is a few medicine dollars this time." Song Langzhong insisted on not accepting it, and said, "Save it, buy a chicken, and make up for my brother, it is also my mind, the old man is ashamed, and this is all he can do." ”
Although Song Langzhong is the only doctor in the county who has opened a pharmacy, because he hired a doctor's companion and the pharmacy business, he also has a large family to support, although he has a surplus, he is not rich and noble.
This is his heart, and Liu Meibao will no longer refuse.
"Then thank you Uncle Song." She said.
In the past, it was the first time to call Doctor Song or Song Shopkeeper, and it was the first time to call Uncle Song, and it also showed that he was treated as his elder, Song Langzhong nodded, he felt that he had nothing to say if he wanted to say something, how did he say that sentence, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and if people were unlucky, they would be more unlucky.
"It's okay if people are fine, it's all right to raise it for a month or two, don't worry." Song Langzhong said again.
Liu Meibao nodded, thought for a while and asked, "How much does it cost to rent a house in this city now?" ”
"It depends on where it is." The guy interjected, stretching out his hand and pointing out, "We have at least 5,000 wen a year in two or three rooms on this street." ”
"Of course it's the cheapest." Liu Meibao said with a smile, "If you don't open a store, you just live by yourself." ”
"The worst one has to be two thousand a year." Song Langzhong said, "What? Are you moving here? ”
Liu Meibao replied vaguely, thinking that the family would no longer stop to say goodbye.
"In that case, I'll help you find out." The older people in Song Lang had bright eyes, and immediately knew their plans, and said hurriedly.
Liu Meibao thanked her again, Song Langzhong sent her out of the door, watched her steps hurrying away, and sighed.
"Miss Liu is so pitiful." The guy also came out and said with a sympathetic face.
Song Langzhong sighed and did not speak.
As he spoke, the street suddenly became lively, and chickens and dogs jumped past a team of officials, so that pedestrians could not dodge.
In these years, the Tartar disaster, the thieves and bandits, people are always in a state of panic, and seeing this group of officials galloping past with weapons in their hands and a solemn face, the faces of the people on the street have changed.
"What's wrong?"
"It's only been a few days since it was settled, but don't have any more accidents!"
People were talking and looking uneasy.
"Shopkeeper, shouldn't the Tartars come again?" The guy asked Song Langzhong in horror.
"No, it won't." Song Langzhong squinted at the officials who went away, "These are the Southeast Yanchi Inspectors, not our county officials." ”
The guy breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.
"Zhou Evil Tiger has found fat again?" The young man said, shaking his head, "I don't know where the people are unlucky again..."
There is a salt pond patrol division in the southeast of Xie County, the inspector surnamed Zhou, is fierce and greedy, bullying men and women and even burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, people send the name Zhou Evil Tiger.
Song Langzhong sighed again and did not speak.
"You say, if Zhou Evil Tiger meets King Lu Yan, who is more powerful?" The guy asked suddenly.
This King Lu Yan is a smuggler of salt, a thief, Zhou Evil Tiger is an official, it stands to reason that the two are incompatible, but for more than a year, they have been peaceful, people say that the money that King Lu Yan gave to Zhou Evil Tiger is a big box carried by the two of them, which can be regarded as spending money to buy peace, from this point of view, thieves do not fight with officials, King Lu Yan is a head shorter in the end, but some people say that King Lu Yan can grow under the nose of Zhou Evil Tiger, or he is powerful.
As soon as the words fell, he was hit by Song Langzhong.
"You are idle, go in and cut the medicine!" He glared.
The man shrank his head, not daring to say any more and ran in.
Liu Meibao stood on the side of the road and let the galloping officials go by, and did not find out what was going on, and continued to hurry their way, it was already noon when they entered the house, and the courtyard was very quiet.
"After changing the medicine, I'll get through it." Liu Meibao smiled at her and said, while subconsciously looking around.
It stands to reason that I haven't seen her for a long time, Qingya, this girl should have woken up very much, and when she heard the movement, she should have rushed over, Xu went out to wash clothes, Liu Meibao walked to the stove, took down the medicine pot, and said that Song Langzhong confiscated the medicine money.
"Later, I will let Qingya go to the village to buy a chicken, and I will go up the mountain to find it, dig up some codonopsis or something, although it is not as good as ginseng, but it is also nourishing..."
"Qingya is sold." Song Sanniang said suddenly.
Liu Meibao turned her head, didn't seem to hear what she said, and looked at her in a daze.
"There is a person who likes her to kick shuttlecock, so he came to buy it." Song Sanniang said lightly, not avoiding her eyes.
What she said, Liu Meibao only felt that she couldn't hear clearly, and only sold it repeatedly.
"Auntie, don't tease me." She tugged at the corners of her mouth, squeezing out a smile.
"I didn't tease you, although this is your girl, but since I raise you, I will also be the master..."Song Sanniang said lightly.
Liu Meibao only felt that her chest was clogged, and she couldn't help but reach out and caress it.
"Auntie, what are you doing, sell her well..."She tugged at the corners of her mouth again, but she couldn't squeeze out the smile, and said in a slightly trembling voice.
"Okay?" Song Sanniang laughed mockingly, "Where is it good?" ”
He pointed to the courtyard, and then to the house.
"Tell me where you are now?" She asked again.
Liu Meibao's lips trembled a little.
"Auntie, I know it's a bit hard right now." She bit her lip and took a deep breath, "I'll find a way to make money. Renting a house can also be affordable. I'll have a lot of ways to make money...."
Song Sanniang just looked at her, her face was expressionless, and she turned around to enter the house.
"Where's it sold? Isn't it the Naga's house? Liu Meibao shouted violently behind her.
Song Sanniang didn't pay attention to it.
"That's mine... It's my man, why did you sell it! Liu Meibao couldn't hold back her emotions anymore and said in a trembling voice.
"Your people?" Song Sanniang turned her head slightly and smiled coldly, "If it weren't for me, you would still be standing here and yelling at me now?" ”
"Auntie, I remember your grace to save your life, but it's not the same thing as this..."Liu Meibao took a step forward and said with emotion, "... I'll figure out a way about money, people are different from money, it's all emotional, it's not that things can be sold if they are sold..."
"Feelings?" Song Sanniang smiled mockingly, tears glittered in the corners of her eyes, and her voice was a little sharper, "You still have feelings?" Your father can force his brother-in-law to die, your mother can leave her daughter to die, you can watch us move an inch without money and be indifferent, feelings! You deserve to talk about feelings, too! You know what feelings are! ”
