Skillful Wife of Military - C5

Aunt Zhang’s son, Wei Dashan and Wei Xiaoshan returned home from the fields. They were very surprised to see so many people at home, and they felt shy when they saw that the person who helped their old lady burn the fire was a pretty young lady.

Hearing Aunt Zhang’s words, Wei Dashan and Wei Xiaoshan scrubbed themselves a little and then went to borrow an ox cart to bring Father Wei over to see Xu Jingan. Xu Hui was extremely grateful and once again lamented how she had met such a good person.

The Wei Jia Village wasn’t too far away from here. In just an hour, Wei Dashan and the others returned with a skinny old man in a green and gray cloth robe.

Feng’s disease looked at the old man’s shriveled and bent body, and started to doubt if this man could really see a doctor.

Xu Hui’s heart was pounding, but there was no better way.

Under Xu Hui’s anxious gaze, the old man checked Xu Jingan’s pulse, and said after pondering for a while, “Miss, your father’s body is extremely tough, her heart and lungs are injured and lack of Qi, so you need to recuperate properly. I’m a pharmacist, but I have some medical knowledge, so I can give you some medicine for your father to eat!”

Xu Hui hurriedly thanked him. The old man took out some herbs from the big basket, folded them or rubbed them together into five bags and gave them to Xu Hui for three bowls of water to eat.

Xu Hui took it over and asked, “Thank you, Dad. How much is the consultation fee?”

The old man said, “It’s just some common medicine ingredients. Just pay the fifty gold coins for it, and you guys will have to go to the Guest House to ask for Doctor Du. He knows acupuncture, and your father will have to invite him if he wants to be more nimble.”

“But I heard that if there’s a war, the doctors won’t come to see them.”

“Yes, that’s right, but Doctor Du is the most kind of person. If you’re sincere in inviting him, then he’ll definitely come. We have to hurry. If we’re late, we won’t be able to get him!”

“Thank you, Father!” Xu Hui hurriedly thanked him again for paying for the medicine. It really happened again and again before the war even began. If they really were going to fight, they would be on the defensive line!

Hearing that there was going to be a war, Aunt Zhang’s face also changed. She hurriedly asked Old Father Wei for more details, and Old Father Wei said that the Medicine Department was purchasing medicinal ingredients without restraint. He said that command wanted to beat up the barbarians.

Aunt Zhang no longer had the mood to chat and asked her sons to send Father Wei back. She carried a small basket of eggs to Hu Xiaoqi’s house to inquire about the situation.

No matter what, Xu Jingan who had drank the medicine had a good night’s sleep. Xu Hui saw that Xu Jingan’s complexion was slightly better than before, and relaxed a little. Right now, she could only think of one step at a time. Even if she had teleported here, in this era where the world was in chaos, she was just a small fry and she could not move the unknown wheel of history. The only thing she could do now was ask Doctor Du to treat Xu Jingan’s illness and earn money as soon as possible.

Xu Hui opened his belt and took out all the gold leaf pieces, asking Xu Jingyao to exchange them for eight taels of silver. After sewing the belt, she carefully put the silver pieces into the specially made bag on his belt.

Although it was cheaper to buy the ingredients themselves, they were unfamiliar with the place. In order to quickly move in, they would need to pay the craftsmen a large amount of money, but they would need to dry in a day before they could use it. Thus, Xu Hui and the rest had to stay at Aunt Zhang’s place for a few days.

Xu Hui thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and took out the smallest pieces of silver, asking Zhou’s to help him get some food.

Furthermore, she had to get Aunt Zhang’s son to help her request for Doctor Du. They were exiled, and without the Master Flag’s permission, they could not casually leave the Guest House.

Aunt Zhang’s son only called for Doctor Du at noon. It was said that she had to run to several pharmacies to find him. Doctor Du was very busy, so they finally managed to invite him.

Xu Hui thanked them again as she busily invited Wei Dashan, Wei Xiaoshan, Doctor Du, and the others to eat first. She bought white bread and meat, since the people here ate white flour and mixed grains all year round, and only on New Year’s Eve could they eat white rice and meat.

Doctor Du gave Xu Jingan a needle after he ate. Xu Hui was extremely happy when he saw that Xu Jingan’s face had turned slightly red.

Since he added in the ginseng, the medical fees were naturally not cheap. Xu Hui had asked Zhou’s to pay a fee of 6 taels of silver, touching his belt which was quickly being held back, he was worried to death!

Because she had just received an extremely depressing news: Military forbade business!

There was no problem if he went to the market to trade things with other people, but it was definitely impossible for him to open a store to do business, not to mention earning money by selling menu items. He didn’t even sell a restaurant to anyone.

After all, the most important function of the Military was to prepare for war. If everyone focused on doing business and making money, who would fight?

Xu Hui had no choice but to give up the variety of food recipes in her mind. It was impossible for a transcender to become rich by selling recipes. The mountains were rich in resources, but the war had sealed off the mountains, and the idea of using their knowledge to discover new species had been shattered.

Xu Hui looked dejectedly at her slender fingers. Not only did the original owner, Xu Qiaohui, know how to dance and make ink, but she had also learned an exquisite knitting and weaving skill from her uncle’s house. Xu Hui had inherited all of them, but this was of no use right now, because it was said that there were no loom here!

Who told it to be a backwater, with no place to buy anything but the regular market in the mountain trenches? It’s so hard to make money!

Earning money could only be done by the side. The only thing that made Xu Hui feel a little more relaxed was that after being treated by Doctor Du, Xu Jingan’s body had recovered a little, and was no longer drowsy. He could even drink porridge after sitting up.

The recovery of Xu Jingan’s body was the decisive factor for the restless Feng’s disease and Xu Qiaozhu, who were controlled by Xu Hui.

The kang and stove were quickly finished. Zhou’s even spent the remaining money to buy bedding, pots, pans, etc. He also found people to make some simple furniture like tables, chairs, cabinets. It was said that the rice flour was the most expensive here, and the coarse grains such as the sorghum flour and the bran noodles were extremely cheap. The Zhou’s had exchanged most of the rice for coarse grains, so it was possible to make ends meet for the rest of the month.

Xu Hui also wanted to change it, but her family only earned a ton of rice every month. Xu Jingan and Xu Rui still had to eat some grains, so they could only give up on this idea.

After cleaning up the house, Xu Hui and the rest moved back to their own houses. Xu Jingyao had already gone to the Hundred Clubs to report, as the main force, they had to train in the military camp every day. Fortunately, the rest of the troops only needed to report at the end of the month, otherwise, with Xu Jingan’s current situation, it would really be troublesome.

After cleaning up the house, they came over to Xu Hui’s home to help. Xu Jingyao’s mother, Ann’s, was also very concerned about Xu Jingan’s situation and came over with his grandchildren.

Ann’s was talking to Xu Jingan inside the house. When Zhou’s walked out, he saw Yu Huan holding something in her hands and was gesturing in the yard with it. He hurriedly asked, “Qiao Jieer, what are you doing?”

“Second Aunt, this is a hoe that I borrowed from Aunt Zhang’s house. I want to open up this piece of land. Aunt Zhang said that she can grow some spinach, so I think it’s still a good meal.”

Zhou’s could not help but sigh. The pampered girls had actually gotten used to the days here so quickly, they had never thought of themselves as Miss Jiao before.

However, he had been exiled to begin with. He no longer had any face anymore and could only starve to death while carrying it.

The Zhou’s laughed and said, “Qiao Jieer, you leave some seeds for me too, I will plant some too!” Her family had an old man and two half-grown kids. As an elder, she should have done a better job.

The Zhou’s could not help but ask Xu Hui. Xu Hui sighed helplessly and said, “I just got up early and said that they would grow vegetables, and they already ran off and disappeared. I don’t know where they went to sleep now, but if it wasn’t for my father being sick, and he was angry, I would have beat them up with my hoe.”

“Girl, how could you hit a mouse and injure a jade bottle, arguing with them and hurting your own reputation? You’re not small anymore, if not, aiya!” The Chang Clan really have no conscience! ” Zhou’s could not help but sigh as he thought about the marriage of Xu Hui which had to be annulled due to an accident at home. If not for this incident, Qiao Jieer would have been married off next year!

“I don’t want to think about this right now, I just want to live a good life. Once Father’s body is better, I can think of a way with Second Uncle to get rid of this Military, and in the future, Brother Yu-er will not have to be the Military anymore, and that will be thankful!”

This was also what the Zhou’s had been hoping for, so he didn’t bring up the Chang Clan anymore. He called Brother Yu’er to help Xu Hui pour water on the ground, the ground was dry and hard, wouldn’t it stir if he didn’t soak it in water?

“Big Sis, I, I want to help too!” Xu Rui’s timid voice sounded from beside Xu Hui. Looking at this younger brother, who was completely different from the Feng’s disease and Xu Qiaozhu, who had a kind disposition, Xu Hui smiled and rubbed Xu Rui’s head, “Ruigol is still young. You taking care of Father would be helping Big Sis!”

“Oh, I will definitely take good care of father!” Xu Rui answered seriously as if he had received an important mission. Xu Hui could not help but laugh.

Zhou’s also laughed, with his big brother, Qiao Jieer and Ruigol, these two sensible children, there was still hope!

Feng’s disease and Xu Qiaozhu who were dodging work outside, originally wanted to ask all over to find out about the Xu Family’s Third Son’s Family, but after a while, everyone got busy, some of them just went in to ask and said that they didn’t know, Xu Qiaozhu’s face was gloomy, these ignorant villagers really hated them!

Xu Qiaozhu pulled on the grass angrily. She did not have any good feelings towards this poor and dirty place. Feng’s disease shook his body, and his stomach growled as he starved.

The two who had nothing to do could only walk home and accidentally saw a fat woman dressed in colorful clothes with red flowers on his head being pushed out of the door ruthlessly by a family, falling flat on the ground and rolling on his back!

Xu Qiaozhu couldn’t help but giggle and laugh. She walked up with Feng’s disease to watch the show, only to see the fallen fat woman groan a few times, rubbed his waist and sat on the ground, fiercely spitting towards the side, scolding: “Scoundrel, why don’t you take a look at your yellow haired girl and you still dare open your mouth to ask for twenty silver taels of betrothal gift?! If it wasn’t for the Xiao family rushing to get married, would my mother have joined your family? “
