Chapter 70: Running fast
In the middle of the afternoon, the rainstorm finally slowly subsided, and finally gradually stopped, Shui Miaomiao gave the last medicinal herbs at home to those who were seriously ill to use first, and the rest could only wait first, only hoping that the village chief would come back quickly.
"Get out of the way, let me in, why doesn't she give me medicine, why doesn't she give me others." There was a sudden noise outside the courtyard gate, and Mrs. Zhou's voice came sharply.
"Third aunt, don't make trouble, you just have a little cold, go back and drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold." Liu Mei's helpless voice also came.
"Why, why don't you give me medicine, you get out of the way for me, your family has taken advantage of it." Mrs. Zhou threw Liu Mei aside with a flick of her hand, and strode towards Shui Miaomiao.
Liu Mei had been busy all night last night, and today she was anxious about her mother-in-law's body, and she threw her and fell straight down, but fortunately, Zhou Hongyu heard the voice and walked out, so she was held when she fell to the ground.
"Brother and sister, are you okay?" Zhou Hongyun looked at the pale brother and sister and felt a little distressed, the old lady had fallen, and the younger brother and sister couldn't have an accident.
On the other side, Mrs. Zhou had already rushed to Shui Miaomiao, pointed at Shui Miaomiao's nose and asked, "Miao Miao, girl, my wife, I have a cold, you hurry up and give me medicine." ”
Shui Miaomiao looked at Mrs. Zhou's eyes who rushed to her eyes, he also saw Mrs. Zhou pushing people just now, and of course he heard her arrogant voice, it is really not worth it to be angry with her for this kind of person, but it is not her style to back down.
So he smiled slightly, stretched out his slender hand and put his slender hand in front of Mrs. Zhou, "If your aunt wants to grab medicine, it's okay, then tie the silver first, a pair of medicine for wind and cold is about one hundred and twenty copper plates, and for the sake of the face of the same village, give me a hundred copper plates." ”
"What. Also ask for money. Mrs. Zhou's voice suddenly rose high, as if she was being bullied, and her eyes were as wide as copper bells.
Shui Miaomiao was also surprised, and said in confusion, "Auntie, I can laugh, of course I have to give silver to catch the medicine, could it be that my medicine is blown by the wind." ”
"Then why don't you ask them for silver, do you just bully me as an old woman." Mrs. Zhou pointed her hand into the room and asked confidently.
"Who said we don't give silver?" This time it wasn't Shui Miaomiao who answered, Zhou Hongyu's voice came from behind her, and she was still holding Liu Mei who had a bad face in her hand, and the two came to Mrs. Zhou and stood opposite her.
Liu Mei looked at Mrs. Zhou coldly and said, "Of course we have to give silver for treatment, last night my father-in-law had already agreed with Miao Miao's sister, all the medicines used must be registered, and those who have silver at home will be given first, and those who don't have silver will discuss with Miao Miao's sister a way to repay debts." ”
"Third aunt, Miao Miao's medicine is not blowing in the wind, my family has no silver, but I will pay it back, if my aunt catches the medicine, then take the silver first!" Zhou Hongyu is not used to Mrs. Zhou, her third aunt is not easy to talk to, if you dare to let her take advantage of it once, she will dare to take an inch.
So this opening can't be opened, once she takes advantage of it, Miao Miao's sister is estimated to be eaten by them, and there will be no bones left, so she won't be able to live in Zhoujia Village.
Shui Miaomiao looked at the corners of her two friends' mouths, but the bad guys couldn't let them do it, she reached out and grabbed the hands of the two of them and said, "Sister-in-law Meizi, Sister Hongyu, you are right, but for the sake of the village chief's face, I won't accept the consultation fee, but the medicine is still from me in Jimintang, although I want to do good things, but I can't let me lose too much, and I can't afford to lose either!" ”
She said so much in one breath, and finally looked at Mrs. Zhou and added, "Aunt Zhou, see if the money for this medicine will be given to me first." ”
"Silver, what silver, don't you ask you for a little medicine, who knows that you are so stingy, you are all villagers and you still have to collect money." Mrs. Zhou blew up again, how could it be possible to let her pay for the silver.
"It's a matter of course to grab the medicine and the silver, it's okay if the third sister-in-law doesn't want to take the medicine here Miao Miao, it just so happens that Dr. Zhong's master and apprentice are also here, it's okay to show them." As soon as Mrs. Zhou's words fell, Village Chief Zhou's slightly angry voice came from behind her.
When everyone turned around, they saw a group of more than a dozen people carrying baskets on their backs, their clothes wet and sticking to their bodies, and they were still dripping water on the ground, but the village chief's face was black and terrifying.
Uncle Zhong didn't expect to encounter this as soon as he entered the door, but a few people were really surprised, such people are everywhere, and it is not the first time they have encountered them, but she also heard what the village chief said just now, and looked at Mrs. Zhou, who had a snarky face, and said a word cooperatively.
"The old man has to pay for the consultation, so he doesn't give twenty copper plates at a time in the shop, and he never arrears the money for medicine."
Mrs. Zhou also knew Zhong Lao, and knew that this person was not only a doctor, but also the owner of Jimintang, and I heard that there were still officials in the family, but she was not an old woman who dared to provoke her, so as soon as Zhong Lao spoke, she stepped back and muttered in her mouth.
"No need, no need, I'm just a little cold, just go back and drink two bowls of ginger soup."
Zhong Yuanming, who was standing next to his grandfather, looked at Mrs. Zhou, who was slowly retreating, frowned, and suddenly stepped forward and said to Mrs. Zhou, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, this aunt." ”
How do you know that Mrs. Zhou heard someone telling her to run faster, what did she do when she stayed for a joke, and there was only one result of staying, that is, to pay money for medicine, and to let her pay for silver was to kill her.
Zhong Yuanming watched the mother-in-law run fast, and looked at his grandfather with some dumbfounded, he couldn't understand what was going on with that person. "Grandfather, am I that terrible? How did he run so fast. ”
Zhong Lao smiled, and did not answer his stupid grandson's words, but looked back at Shui Miaomiao and asked, "Miao Miao girl, you come to tell me why this stupid grandson is this." ”
Shui Miao pursed her lips and smiled, but asked lightly, "Do you want money to see a doctor?" ”
"Of course I want it, if I don't give money for medicine, Jimintang is going to collapse." Zhong Yuanming replied honestly, and only then did he react after speaking, and asked in disbelief, "Is she afraid of paying for money." ”
Shui Miaomiao didn't answer but smiled politely, she really didn't have anything to say about Mrs. Zhou, now is not the time to speak, hurry up and call the village chief to put down the medicinal materials, those people in the family are still waiting for the medicine! In particular, the illness of the village chief's daughter-in-law cannot be delayed.
Thinking that he had a lot to do, the village chief's daughter-in-law's illness had been delayed for so long, and it happened that Zhong Lao came, so he simply handed over this patient to him.
"Uncle Zhong, Aunt Liu fell ill with a cold and fright last night, and she had a fever in the morning, I am going to catch the medicinal herbs and boil the medicine now, please help Uncle Zhong take a look."
