Chapter 3: Give your wife some medicine
At this moment, in the main room of the main room, Mrs. Zhao was sitting cross-legged on the earthen kang, sewing clothes for her youngest son. The youngest son, Xu Huaiyu, was the most promising one in the family. He was good at studying, handsome, and had a sweet mouth. He was the most popular with her. Xin, now studying in an academy in the town, has passed the boy student examination, and is waiting to take the scholar examination next year.
As a future scholar, of course he has to dress decently. The whole family wears the cheapest burlap clothes, which are patched when they are torn, so as not to expose any flesh. Only he wears soft and comfortable linen clothes, which are close-fitting and not exposed. The skin was polished and made into a light blue gown worn by students. It was completely different from these rough guys in the countryside who wore shorts.
Mrs. Zhao was thinking about this, her mean lips raised, and her good mood continued until her eldest daughter-in-law Wang Suyun came in and said, "Dad, mother..."
Xu Maoshan leaned against a pile of folded quilts and was dozing off. Hearing the sound, he only rolled his eyelids and closed them again.
Mrs. Zhao didn't even raise her head and asked casually, "What's the matter?"
Wang Suyun smiled casually and said, "Nothing's wrong, I just saw his third uncle lock the door and go out..."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao raised her eyes and looked over, her voice a bit stern, "What did the third child do when he went out?"
Wang Suyun shook her head hastily, "How does this wife know? His second uncle asked just now, but his third uncle ignored him and left in a hurry..."
Mrs. Zhao narrowed her eyes and remained silent for a while.
When Wang Suyun saw this, he asked tentatively, "Could it be that his third uncle went out to find someone to borrow money?"
Mrs. Zhao sneered, "Who can I borrow from? Who in our village can give him ten taels of silver to fetch? He doesn't even look at how much he weighs. Besides, without my nod, who dares to lend him money? Is that difficult?" Do you want me to help him pay off his debts? Just dream!"
After hearing this, Wang Suyun finally felt at ease. She was worried that Xu Huaiyi would have to drag the whole family to help him pay the debt he owed. Fortunately, the old Qian woman was as mean and hard-hearted as ever.
After she left, Xu Maoshan opened his eyes and said calmly, "If it doesn't work, just give Lao San a little. I can't afford two ounces of medicine, but I can make do with a few pairs for tens of cents."
Mrs. Zhao refused without even thinking, "No, our family's money is all counted. You spend it on other things. What should you do if Huaiyu studies? The whole family is just pointing at him to get ahead. The third brother is a boring gourd, so marry him." My daughter-in-law is also useless. She hasn’t laid eggs for two years, she gave birth easily, and she is still a loser. She still wants to take medicine worth two taels of silver a set? Does she have that kind of luck? "
"It's not good at all. It's too difficult for the third child. If you pay a few tens of cents for a few pairs, you can give him an explanation. No matter how hard it is, it will chill his heart. There are so many tasks at home, but they are all pointed at him... …”
Mrs. Zhao couldn't listen to Xu Maoshan's reminder. She asked her to pay for it, which was as painful as cutting flesh. "Why are you afraid of him? There is no sac-shaped thing. He crawled out of my belly. I just eat his flesh." He has to accept drinking his blood, otherwise it would be unfilial! Even a spittle from the village can drown him!"
Xu Maoshan listened to her talk becoming more and more outrageous. He frowned and patted the kang table in front of him, "I think you are confused. Have you forgotten how he got his wife back then?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao's expression finally changed, but she was unwilling to bow her head. She snorted and said disdainfully, "With their courage, do you really dare to live in the Gu family? The Gu family has neither a clan to rely on nor relatives to help. I'm just a naked person, but I can't be bullied to death when I go out?"
When Xu Maoshan heard this, he tapped her with his hand. After sighing, he stopped talking. He closed his eyes and rested his mind leisurely.
At this moment, Xu Huaiyi, who was considered to have no courage to move out and start a family, was standing in front of a small courtyard, thinking hard about how to move here with his wife without losing sight of weapons.
This is his father-in-law's house. It is at the western end of the village, next to the foot of the mountain. It has a private house and no neighbors. Once the gate is closed, they can live a beautiful life together. It is no better than being crowded with cold-blooded animals like the old Xu family. Are they strong together?
The original owner had the worst food, did the most work, and was the most disliked. He was the lowest member of the old Xu family. Anyone could give him a hard time. The more Xu Huaiyi thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved. He simply felt sorry for the original owner. Angry and unwilling to fight.
It is pitiful to clearly hold a good card, but play it badly and die in the end.
Since he was sold to the Gu family by his mother for fifty taels of silver and became the son-in-law of the Gu family, and the paperwork was signed, how about taking this opportunity to get away from the old Xu family's gang of beasts who eat his flesh and drink his blood?
But he didn't. He dragged his wife along with him and continued to work for the old Xu family. Is he grateful? Not only did they not accept it, they also looked down upon these two people even more. They were hopelessly stupid, filial, and weak!
Now that he has crossed over, he is determined not to drag his wife into such a useless life.
Thinking about it, he turned around and went diagonally across the street. About fifty meters away from the Gu family's house, there was a small courtyard with three brick houses, which was Doctor Jiao's home.
Xu Huaiyi pushed the door open and went in. He saw that the yard was filled with round dustpans, and some Chinese medicines were spread out inside. He couldn't name them and just smelled the smell of the medicines.
Doctor Jiao was picking up medicinal materials when he heard a movement and looked up to see him. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Huaiyi? Why are you here? It's your wife..."
"Dr. Jiao, excuse me..." Xu Huaiyi greeted him politely and then said the purpose of coming, "Can you please get some medicine for my wife?"
Doctor Jiao subconsciously said, "It only works if you need two taels of silver a pair. Are you, your mother willing to get you some silver?"
Xu Huaiyi suddenly made a sad and helpless look, shook his head, took out the silver bracelet from his arms, put on a reluctant and guilty expression, rubbed it for a while, and handed it to him as if it were a sinking boat.
Doctor Jiao took it hesitantly, looked at it carefully, and asked in surprise, "Is this your wife's dowry?"
Xu Huaiyi nodded sadly, "This is the last one. I originally wanted to keep it as a thought, but now... I'm about to lose my life, so what's the use of keeping it?"
Doctor Jiao has lived in the village for several years and knows a lot about the Xu family. Mrs. Zhao is partial and has given birth to five sons and two daughters. She is most unhappy with Xu Huaiyi, her third son. You can understand it if you think about it. The eldest son of the family works as a cashier in a restaurant in the town and can bring money to the family every month. The second child is lively and can coax people. The fourth child has hunting skills and adds meat to the family from time to time. The fifth child is a treasure because he can read. Lupao, there is only this third child, who has no decent skills and a bad mouth. He has no sense of existence in the Xu family. Such children are the easiest for parents to ignore.
However, neglecting it to the point of disregarding life is still too much.
Doctor Jiao sighed in his heart and said comfortingly, "You don't have to worry too much. There is a bracelet like this. Five sets of medicine are enough to prepare all the ingredients. Hold your hands tightly. Seven sets are also fine. Check the pulse as I did before. Judging from the situation, after eating these seven pairs, you will be 70% to 80% better. The rest will have to be nursed back to health slowly. You can’t rush it..."
When Xu Huaiyi heard this, he immediately thanked him happily and bowed in a decent manner.
Doctor Jiao accepted it with a smile, but in his heart he felt that the person in front of him was slightly different from before. His face was still the same, but his temper was obviously more lively, and his mouth was no longer clumsy enough to squeeze out a few words, which made people look at him. He was anxious, his eyes fell on the wound on his forehead, and he felt that his changes were reasonable. After enduring these repeated blows, if he still didn't wake up, he would be really a fool.
After preparing the medicine and explaining in detail how to take it, Doctor Jiao helped him treat the wound on his forehead. The bleeding had stopped for a long time. It was just red and swollen, with bruises around it, which looked miserable.
After finishing his work, Xu Huaiyi was thinking about his wife, so he quickly got up to say goodbye, and hurried to Xu's house with the medicine in hand.
