The man wrinkled his brows and looked at Chixi, quite vigilant: "What? Your family has more than 20 acres of medicinal land, do you still want to compete with me for supplies? ”

"Not really!"

Chi Xi shook his head and smiled faintly: "It's just a little curious." You don't have a lot of medicinal materials, my family is busy with business, sometimes I can't take care of it, someone always has to take over, as the saying goes, many friends have many roads, isn't it? Even if we can't be friends and get acquainted, if we have business in the future, we can think of you, aren't we? ”

The man stared at Chi Xi twice, as if to confirm the truth of her words, and only after a while did he frown and said, "My source of goods is from my village, I am from Zhangjiazhai, my name is Zhang Guitian, and I have been in the medicinal herb business all year round. ”

Chi Xi smiled and nodded: "Okay, I wrote it down." ”

As soon as Doctor Shi put away the medicinal materials, he hurriedly greeted him as soon as he heard this, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xi, although your family is busy with business, our medical hall has a medicine boy who specializes in handling medicinal materials, if you are too busy, I can let someone go over to deal with the medicinal materials." As long as the price is fair and the quality of the herbs is good, everything is negotiable. ”

Their clinics and pharmacists buy and sell directly, and it is the most cost-effective way to eliminate middlemen to make the difference.

As soon as Doctor Shi's words came out, Zhang Guitian's face was ugly again.

He suddenly realized that the Xi family was going to steal business with him, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

He is not a vexatious person, the two of them are willing to do business, and he has nothing to say.

But his business was robbed, and his medicinal materials in the future will naturally not be easy to sell.

It was very unhappy for a while.

"Then I'll bother Dr. Shi."

Chi Xi nodded, turned his head and saw that Zhang Guitian's face was not good-looking, so he smiled again and said, "Brother Zhang, you have been in the medicinal materials business for many years, you should know medicinal materials very well, and you are also very good at taking care of medicinal materials." My 20 acres of medicinal land are unattended, I wonder if you are willing to take care of it for me? ”

Zhang Guitian, who was still entangled and unhappy, was suddenly stunned, and said in surprise: "You want to ask me to take care of the medicine land for you?" ”

"Yes."

Chi Xi sighed and said: "It's not a secret, a few days ago, my medicine land was stolen by someone, and I lost hundreds of taels of silver, and I didn't find out the reason for reporting the case for several days." I just met Brother Zhang today, so I wanted to ask Brother Zhang to take care of the medicine field for me. As for the salary, 50 wen a day, including food and housing, can make you full and have meat every day, how about it? ”

"Fifty wen a day, including food and housing, and full of meat?"

Surprise flashed in Zhang Guitian's eyes, and he hurriedly asked: "Are you sure you can get such a generous treatment just by helping you take care of the medicine land?" ”

"Not only take care of the medicine field for me, but also pay attention to the growth of medicinal materials, and give timely feedback if there are problems. I also have to guard that I don't want thieves to dig up my medicinal herbs. When the medicinal materials are mature, I also hope that you can lead the villagers to help me handle the medicinal materials properly. ”

Chi Xi's expression was gentle, but he said the same: "As long as you do well, our Xi family will not treat you badly." ”

"Okay, I promise!"

Zhang Guitian couldn't hide the surprise on his face: "Early tomorrow morning, I will go to work at your doorstep." ”

Although he has been in the medicinal materials business for many years and has some ability, it is not easy to dig up medicinal materials and purchase medicinal materials.

Every day, the whole family can earn fifty or sixty dollars from morning to night, and there is no such thing as food and shelter, and eating meat can only be eaten once or twice in ten days and a half months.

The Xi family treats workers generously, and there are many people who make money in the Xi family and don't want to make money.

Ten miles and eight villages have long been spread.

He never imagined that such a good thing could befall him, and he hesitated for a moment, "However, my children are still too young to be separated from anyone." I wonder if your wrap-up can include my children in my day? ”

Chi Xi squinted slightly, and Zhang Guitian hurriedly said: "Two simple rooms, you can make a bed." My parents are gone, my wife is not in charge, and my children are still young, so they can't leave me. ”

After pondering for a moment, Chixi smiled and nodded: "Of course you can, I will have someone build a house next to the medicine field for you, and your family can live there." As for your three meals a day, if you don't want to eat them with everyone, they can also be converted into money. ”

"Thank you."

Zhang Guitian didn't expect such a good thing, so he nodded happily and ran out: "In this case, the hour is not early, I will go home to clean up first, and tomorrow morning, I will definitely come to work." ”

Doctor Shi looked at Zhang Guitian, who was still unhappy, into the pond under his command in a few words, and sincerely admired this soft and weak woman.

Chixi negotiated with Dr. Shi about next year's harvest of medicinal herbs, so he informed Dr. Shi, and then he and Tian Cuihe got into a carriage and returned to Dahe Village slowly.

The fact that Chixi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were taken away by the official messenger has been known to the whole village, and most of them are worried that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be convicted and will not be able to come back.

In the evening, I was relieved to see their carriage back to the village.

Although they are all afraid of Chixi, they are more in awe.

They are living better and better because of the Xi family, and there is no beneficiary who wants their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to suffer.

"Auntie, Xiaoxi, you are back."

Sister-in-law Osmanthus greeted them when she saw them, and sighed: "You are not here today, and the few officials who left behind have finally found out the Wang family, you would never have imagined that it was Wang Gangqiang's newly married daughter-in-law who killed Wang Xiaohao!" ”

"Isn't that daughter-in-law only seventeen? How can you be so ruthless? ”

Tian Cuihe raised her eyebrows, twisted her eyebrows and said, "I heard that he is still weak." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Sister-in-law Osmanthus lowered her voice and said: "Liu Cuimei's old woman cried so much, that Wang Gangqiang's newly married daughter-in-law was tormented by her, and she was not willing to marry Wang Gangqiang, she treated people as animals, then Wang Xiaohao was taught badly again, the scolding is ugly, people can't stand it, don't you have murderous intentions?" ”

She sighed for a while: "The woman is still more than a month pregnant." When this happens, no one will survive. Really...... Hey......"

As You Lanmei's own person, she had no way to sympathize with the woman who killed You Lanmei's son, but from the woman's point of view, she understood the woman's approach.

Chi Xi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "The Wang family has found it back?" Pleaded guilty? ”

"Now that they're crying so much that they're about to break their souls, where can they care about admitting their guilt or not?"

Sister-in-law Osmanthus sighed and said: "Sister Fang Cai Lan was fainted, not long after she was brought back, where is Aunt Zhao Juan taking care of at this time, it is estimated that she has not woken up yet." ”

Chi Xi raised his feet and walked to You Lanmei's house: "I'll go see her." ”

Tian Cuihe hurriedly followed.

Zhao Juan and Xiao Nuan stayed in front of You Lanmei's bed, and stood up as soon as they saw Chixi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Zhao Juan said: "You're back, nothing happened, right?" ”

"It's okay, what's wrong with Lan Mei?" Ikekei asked.

Zhao Juan sighed: "Shi Langzhong has come to see it, he is angry and sad, he just fed her medicine, and she has to rest for a few days to recover." After all, it's a dead son, and it's impossible to think about it for a while. ”
