Chapter 12 Catch the Medicine
After the Shu family left, Lu Yu returned to Shu Chen's room, and saw that his curtains were still drawn, and the room was extremely dark, so he stepped forward and pulled the curtains open.
Shu Chen, who was lying on the kang, frowned slightly: "What are you doing?"
"There is no one who draws the curtains in broad daylight. β
"Shut you down...... Forget it, whatever you say is what it is. Shu Chen said: "I said that it would be good for you." β
Lu Yu was a little embarrassed: after thinking about it, he came to Shu Chen and said, "Shu Chen, your mother usually grabs medicine for you, and asks your grandmother for how much silver, do you know?"
It's not that Lu Yu is suspicious, it's just that Widow Shu gave her ten cents, if Shu Chen's medicine is not expensive, will the Shu family be so sad?
Shu Chen thought for a while and said, "I remember hearing my grandmother complain twice, it seems to be about two dollars of silver." β
Two coins of silver is two hundred dollars, and if you catch ten dollars for medicine......
Lu Yu sighed, worried that this kid would be suspicious, so he didn't continue to ask: "Sister, go get the medicine for you, you rest obediently." β
Lu Yu quickly walked out of Shu's house, and Shu Chen's angry roar came from behind him: "I am your fiancΓ©, not your brother!"
Lu Yu couldn't cry or laugh, and according to his memory, he came to Dr. Chen's house in the village.
When I went, there were two women in the village who were grabbing medicine at Chen's house, and when they saw her coming, they couldn't help but ask about the common sense: "Yo, isn't this the daughter of the Li family?
Lu Yu smiled: "It's good." β
"The Shu family didn't bully you? What did Shu Chen's kid do to you? I heard that kid has a very evil temperament, you eloped with Li Daniu, he didn't let you go, right?"
Looking at the two women in front of him, Lu Yu said lightly: "He treats me very well." β
The two women who didn't inquire about anything from Lu Yu's mouth were a little disappointed: "Either men are big turnips, and their hearts are all flowery, didn't that kid from the Shu family be good to the daughters of the Zhang family before, and he really didn't pick them." β
"This girl must be lying, how can the Shu family be good to her?"
Lu Yu: "......"
Dr. Chen on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, coughed dryly twice, and the two women grabbed the medicine and turned to leave.
Lu Yu handed ten yuan to Chen Langzhong, and when Chen Langzhong was dispensing medicine, Lu Yu pretended to ask casually: "Doctor Chen, the first time I came to grab medicine, are your medicinal materials so cheap?"
Doctor Chen said with a smile: "It's not a valuable medicinal material, many medicinal materials are found in the mountains, and the villagers in the township, how can they be too expensive?"
"Shu Chen's disease, how many days does it take to take medicine?"
"He hasn't stopped taking this medicine, and he has to catch it every three or five days. β
Lu Yu didn't ask any more, thinking that he was too careful, Widow Shu looked honest, not like someone who would take advantage of Shu Chen's illness to ask for more silver.
After Lu Yu returned home after grabbing the medicinal herbs, Shu Chen was taking a nap, and the Shu family did not come back at noon, probably because the family did not have enough money, so lunch was waived.
Lu Yu had nothing to do in Shu's house, and remembered what Dr. Chen said that most of the medicinal materials were collected in the mountains, so he came to the courtyard and carried the basket on his back and went up the mountain from the path.
Although she doesn't know medicinal materials, she has been a rich and noble person for a few years in her previous life, and some treasures in the mountains and forests are hard to find in Beijing.
The forest was quiet in the afternoon, and Lu Yu didn't dare to go deeper, when he was a child, he heard the elders say that this mountain used to be a bandit's mountain, which was specially transformed, and it was like a maze to go inside, if it was lost, it was easy to be eaten by the beasts in the mountain.
Lu Yu walked around, and in a rotten bush, he found two fat Ganoderma lucidum, Lu Yu's eyes lit up instantly, how could these two be exchanged for a few taels of silver, although they were not much, they would not even be able to afford to eat a meal of meat.
Lu Yu hurriedly stepped forward to dig down the Lingzhi, Lu Yu was not greedy, and was about to find a way to hide the Lingzhi, when something behind him fluttered its wings and flew over.
Lu Yu turned his eyes and saw a pheasant landing on a branch not far away, and when the pheasant saw someone, he flapped his wings and flew away.
"Stop!"
The meat in the mouth couldn't let it run away in vain, Lu Yu carried the basket on his back and ran after the pheasant.
In the evening, at dusk, the peasants who had worked all day returned home one after another, and the faces of the Shu family were a little ugly.
Today, the villagers in the fields began to talk about their family, saying that their family abused Li Xiaojiu. After Shu Chen was green, he was annoyed and angry, how to bully Li Xiaojiu, what he said was a miserable one, as if their family was some kind of jackal, tiger and leopard, as if they could swallow Li Xiaojiu alive.
Hearing that his precious eldest grandson was arranged, Shu Wangshi rolled up his sleeves and found the two women who were the first to chew the root of his tongue to settle the account, and learned that it was actually Li Xiaojiu who said it at Dr. Chen's house! What the two women said was very serious, and Shu Wangshi finally believed it even if he didn't believe it.
"The Li family is a little scoundrel, our family is still too good to her!"
Shu Qing on the side held Zhang Lingling and said: "It's shameless, didn't she say that our family abused her, our family might as well realize her wish." β
Shu Ning said: "Li Xiaojiu is so annoying, I don't know what she did tonight, if she can't make something delicious, let her get out of our house!"
The Shu family scolded all the way, because they didn't eat at noon, thinking of Li Xiaojiu's cooking skills, they couldn't help but feel a little hungry.
When the Shu family quickened their pace and returned home, Shu Chen rushed out in a hurry.
"What's the matter, good grandson, run slowly, don't stumble. β
"Grandma, Li Xiaojiu is gone!" Shu Chen was a little flustered on his face.
When the Shu family heard this, the pot exploded, and the Shu Wang's face, which was already holding back the fire, turned pale: "When did it happen?"
"She went out to buy me medicine today, and I slept for a while, but she hasn't come back yet, shouldn't she go home?"
"How is it possible!" Shu Duofu said: "This little slut wants to go back, and she wants the Li family to ask her to count, her family still owes our family the silver and has not paid it back, if you dare to run back, I and the Li family are not finished!"
Shu Ning suddenly thought of something, "Could it be that she is talking nonsense at Dr. Chen's place today and doesn't dare to come back, right?"
"I'm going to find Dr. Chen!" Shu Qing was not idle, if her sister's guess was true, her grandmother, who was already angry, would definitely drive Li Xiaojiu, a cheap hoof, away!
Dr. Chen soon followed Shu Qing to Shu's house: "Li Xiaojiu went to me today to grab the medicine and left soon, didn't she go back to your house?"
The Shu family looked at each other, and Shu Wang's sat on the ground: "It's over, it's over, if that little cheap hoof runs away, our family's money will really not be able to get it back." β
Shu Duofu and Li Mei glanced at each other, forcibly held back the snickering joy in their hearts, and were about to open their mouths to comfort Shu Wang's two words, when Li Xiaojiu's voice suddenly came from the door: "Grandma Shu, what are you doing?"
