I fought back after reselling my engagement

Su Mo opened his eyes, "Sanan, thank you." He took out five copper coins from his sleeve. The boy who came in was dark-skinned, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand. He put down the bowl and took the copper coins, looking at the bed on the side, "Is the scholar's wife still not awake?"

"The doctor said that he would wake up after three doses of medicine."

"Doctor Li from Darong Town is a famous doctor. He said that if the patient can wake up after taking Sanji medicine, he will definitely wake up." The half-grown boy named San'an looked at the few copper coins in his hand. He could finally make money on his own. "Su Xiucai, there is another patient in your family. I can continue to help boil medicine. My mother has been bedridden for many years. I am the best at boiling medicine. I can control the temperature very well. In the whole fishing village, no one is better at boiling medicine than me."

San'an was the kid next door. Feng Shunyi, the owner of the house where Su Mo and the other two were staying, was San'an's eldest. Da'an's father was Feng Shuner. After the two brothers got married, they separated. Feng Shunyi was the eldest brother. The couple were healthy and responsible, so they gave the newly built house to their younger brother Feng Shuner.

Feng Shun'er's wife was frail and sickly, especially after giving birth to San'an, she was bedridden all year round. The family was poor and could not afford the money to buy medicine, so Feng Shun'er and San'an would walk ten or twenty miles into the mountains from time to time to pick some herbs, dry them, and boil them for his wife to drink.

San'an said that he was the best at making medicine in the village, which was true. His parents only gave birth to him, and his mother's body was ruined because of him. It was better to have a mother who loved her than not to have one. Although his mother was ill all year round, she was good at needlework and was a gentle person. Feng Shun and his son felt that with such a woman, the family was complete.

Feng Shuner respects and loves his wife, and Sanan is even more filial to his mother.

Feng Shuner's family lived a little harder than his eldest brother's. Every time, the father and son would take turns going out to sea with his eldest brother's family and bring back some fish, crabs and shrimps to sell. When they were not easy to sell, they would pickle them into salted fish and keep them for their own consumption in winter when they could not go to the canal.

Su Mo took out a packet of medicine and said, "This is Uncle Qi's cough medicine. I boil three bowls of medicine for one bowl. I have to boil it for three times. As you said, I will pay you five cents for each meal."

"Okay! I will make sure to boil the medicine and send it to you as soon as it's ready." San'an took the medicine. He would make fifteen coins for boiling it three times. He would give the money to his mother for safekeeping. At the end of the year, he would buy his mother a set of warm winter clothes. Maybe if his mother wore warm clothes, she would get sick less next year.

Sanan picked up the medicine bag and said, "The medicine is warm, remember to let your wife take it, don't let it get cold. If it gets cold, the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced."

The half-grown child gave instructions with concern.

Su Mo smiled and responded: "Okay, I know."

Sananti Medicine left.

Zhen Su was thinking, she was unconscious, how did he feed her such bitter medicine. When she was a child, she lived in the Su family and was loved by her grandparents. In order to act like a spoiled child and get spoiled, she would not take medicine properly whenever she was sick. She would not take it unless her grandmother and aunt said a lot of nice things and soft words to spoil and coax her.

Children are just spoiled and arrogant, and they become more spoiled because they are loved by others.

Whether it was Zhen Su or Su Zhen, they were not afraid of taking bitter medicine. She was particularly resistant to the pain. Zhen Su had been in the Lu family for eight years. Whenever she was sick, she would drink the medicine in one breath whenever someone brought her medicine. She wanted to live well and for a long time. Even if she married into a farmer's family and became a poor fish who only ate and waited to die, she wanted to live longer.

Zhen Su imagined several scenarios of Su Mo feeding her medicine in her mind, and her heart beat faster. He said she was his wife. The kid just called him "Su Xiucai" but called her "Xiucai's wife", which was really embarrassing. Also, when he fed her medicine, he wouldn't feed it to her mouth. If he passed the medicine in his mouth to her mouth, wouldn't that be a kiss?

Zhen Su continued to pretend to be asleep. She wanted to know how Su Mo would feed her the medicine.

The medicine had cooled down, and Su Mo brought it to the couch, put a hand towel under her chin, and took out a hollow bamboo with a funnel on top that was used by grocery stores to get wine and vinegar.

A funnel and bamboo were used to force her to drink? She was a human being, not a cow or a horse. My god, this is too rude. They used bamboo directly into her throat, and they were not afraid of killing her.

Zhen Su watched Su Mo take out the "tool" and stopped peeking at him. Instead, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Su Mo smiled meaningfully, "Wake up, then get up and take the medicine."

Zhen Su felt as if he had been caught, "You... knew I was awake this morning?"

Su Mo did not answer.

Zhen Su recalled that when she jumped into the canal, she seemed to hear him say "I can swim". Uncle Su Qi's martial arts were so good, and Su Mo was handsome. If he could travel outside, he must know some swordsmanship and martial arts. "You know martial arts?"

Su Mo said: "I dare not say how powerful I am, but protecting myself is enough."

Zhen Su said: "Is it enough to protect yourself? You will become stronger when facing a strong opponent. There are many people with great martial arts in the world."

Su Mo held up the medicine bowl and said, "If you are afraid of taking bitter medicine, I will make you drink it down like I did the last few times."

Zhen Su looked at the "tool" and glanced at the people on the sickbeds nearby. "I don't believe you used this tool to feed medicine to Uncle Su Qi?"

Su Mo was as gentle and elegant as ever, and his voice was so beautiful that it could make your ears pregnant. "Seventh Uncle is not as sick as you are. He has been drinking the medicine by himself. You can't drink it yourself, so we have to use a tool to force it into your mouth as a temporary measure."

Zhen Su's face darkened. He used this kind of tool to force her to drink. He treated her like a beast? She thought he was a gentleman. It seemed that she had thought too much. But she didn't believe that he really used this thing to force her to drink medicine. "You are so rude. Any girl who marries you will be unlucky for eight lifetimes."

Su Mo replied: "Isn't this person Xianmei?"

Everyone in the fishing village thought that the couple had taken an old servant out with them, but their boat accidentally wrecked and the people fell into the canal.

They were a fake couple. Due to other people's misunderstanding, they just accepted their views for the sake of their reputation. It would be even more troublesome to explain.

Zhen Su sat up and immediately found that she had changed her clothes. Just as she was about to ask for details, Su Mo said, "Mrs. Feng and her daughter changed your clothes. Your clothes are dry and folded at the end of the bed."

There was a pile of dresses at the end of the bed, folded neatly, and a silver hairpin lay quietly on the dresses. She looked at the dresses, then at the silver bracelet ring on her wrist. The inside was hollow, and the silver bills were all inside. With the silver bills, she would have money for the journey, and she would be able to find her grandfather.

Zhen Su was wearing Feng Dasao's shirt, which didn't fit her well because Feng Dasao was fatter and stronger than she was.

She took the medicine bowl handed to her by Su Mo, frowned, closed her eyes, and drank the medicine in one breath as if she was determined to go to the execution ground. She didn't know if it was because of the hot weather or because it was too bitter, but after drinking it, a thin layer of sweat broke out all over her body.

Su Mo handed over a plate of candied fruit, "Eat two to sweeten your mouth."

Zhen Su took one and put it in his mouth, looking around, "Thank God, we are all still alive. I wonder how many people on the ship can survive?"

Su Mo said: "The docks controlled by the court are all concentrated in the Jiangnan area. From the capital to Yueyang Prefecture, most of the docks along the way are controlled by martial arts sects."

Jiangnan was rich and was known as the "granary of the world". It not only had food but also cloth, tea and other goods. Therefore, after the establishment of the Great Qi Dynasty, it controlled all the food and wealth in Jiangnan, and all the large and small docks were in the hands of the court. Large and small "ship offices" were established in the Jiangnan area to collect taxes on large and small ships entering and leaving the docks, and to uniformly dispatch and manage them.
