The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 23 Agree to Adoption
Mrs. Li also remembered what she heard from Dr. Wu before, asking Mianniang to collect medicine to pay for the medicine, "Yes, Mianniang, I have never heard you mention this matter."

"Father, mother, you also know that Ah Xun was not in good health before, so I was basically responsible for handling his medicine. Over time, I also know some medicinal materials."

"Moreover, when I accompanied him to Doctor Wu for medical treatment, I saw a lot of medicinal materials in Doctor Wu's yard, and occasionally I would ask about them."

"I went to Doctor Wu's house early this morning to ask him about medicinal materials. Doctor Wu is kind-hearted, and he will answer whatever I ask." Tang Mian said half-truthfully.

"Doctor Wu is indeed a good man." Mrs. Li sighed.

It's just that Dr. Wu is almost forty and doesn't even have a wife.

In recent years, many people in the village have approached him as matchmakers, but he rejected them all.As time passed, people in the village stopped talking.

Lu Zheng nodded, somewhat sympathetic to Tang Mian's words, "In the past years when Ah Xun has been ill, your mother and I know more medicinal materials than others."

"But if you want to collect it in exchange for money to treat Zhuangzhuang, I'm afraid it won't be enough! Moreover, some medicines are not easy to collect. You may have to go deep to collect them, which is really dangerous."

"Yes, yes, Mian Niang, your father is right." Li agreed repeatedly.

"Father, mother, don't worry, it's just outside, there's no need to go into the mountains." Tang Mian assured.

Lu Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Although I don't know much about medicinal materials, I also know that most valuable medicinal materials are found in deep mountains, and some even grow on cliffs."

Li's heart skipped a beat, "Mian Niang, let's think more about collecting herbs."

"Father, mother, I promise to pay attention to my own safety first and prevent myself from getting into trouble. Moreover," Tang Mian spoke sincerely, but Lu Zheng became angry after hearing this.

"In the deep mountains and old forests, how can you, a woman who only kills chickens, ensure safety?" Tang Mian refused to listen, and Lu Zheng's face darkened.

"In the final analysis, your move to adopt Zhuangzhuang is too bold and makes you run into the mountains regardless of the danger. Are things in the mountains so easy to obtain? If it were so easy, our Qingyuan Village would have been prosperous long ago. , unlike now, most people only have food and clothing."

Tang Mian was silenced by Lu Zheng's rush of words. After a moment, he said, "Father, mother, I only collect medicines on the periphery. As long as I work harder, Zhuangzhuang's medicine money will be enough."

Many of the medicinal materials she had seen in the "Encyclopedia of Medicinal Materials" in the space could be picked up outside. She went to Dr. Wu in the morning to ask about the prices of these medicinal materials. Some of them were not cheap.

After pondering for a while, he said: "Even if I didn't have Zhuangzhuang, I still want to go into the mountains to collect herbs. This year, my family's income is not much, and there should be no money left. If there is an accident, I don't even have emergency money."

Lu Zheng and Li were stunned. After they were stunned, Lu Zheng looked at Tang Mian with a straight face, "I'm not too old to walk yet, so you don't need to think twice."

Li moved her mouth, but finally did not speak.

Tang Mian was silent for a moment and said, "Dad, your hand is injured and you can no longer do the work of a mason."

My father-in-law is a mason and earns more money than anyone else in the village. Over the years, my father-in-law has earned Ah Xun’s medicine money little by little.

After Lu Xun's death, his father-in-law was depressed, often in a trance, and accidentally injured his wrist while working.

I have been raising it for more than half a year now, and I still can’t use my hands very much.

She had asked Dr. Wu before, and Dr. Wu said it would be best for her father to stop working as a mason.Otherwise, Dad's injured hand will be completely disabled.

In the last life, in order to pay Zhang Xiucai's debt, my father dragged his injured hand back to work as a mason, but he was completely disabled within a year.

In this life, she will never let her father do this again.

"I only injured one hand, not lost it. I will be able to work again if I can recuperate it for a few days. Even if I can't recuperate it, I can still be a mason with one hand." Lu Zheng suddenly became angry and roared with a red face. One sentence.

"Dad, no one wants to hire a mason who works with only one hand." Tang Mian had to be reminded of this cruel fact.Lu Zheng and Li were stunned again.

Li's tears could no longer be held back, "Oh my god, why does the suffering come to our family?"

Lu Zheng looked dejected, not wanting to accept this fact.I worked as a bricklayer for most of my life, but in the end I couldn’t even support my family.

Tang Mian was also sad, but he still cheered up and comforted Mrs. Li, "Mom, don't cry. I believe that as long as our family works together, the suffering will only be temporary."

Ms. Li still kept wiping her tears, thinking that her son died early despite suffering for so many years, thinking that the mainstay of the family would have to stay at home, and thinking that there was no one in their family to inherit the family, she felt sad.

Mrs. Li cried sadly, but it brought Lu Zheng back from his thoughts.

"Stop crying, things are already like this, there's no point crying." Lu Zheng said with a wry smile.

After speaking, he looked at Tang Mian and said, "Mian Niang, you are determined to adopt Zhuangzhuang, right?"

Tang Mian paused and nodded.

"Are you sure you can make money to treat Zhuang Zhuang?" Lu Zheng asked.

Tang Mian still nodded, "Dad, I'm sure of it."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li wiped away her tears and said, "Mian Niang, medicine money is a bottomless pit. How can you be sure about it? Think again about adopting Zhuangzhuang."

Li still disagreed, but Tang Mian insisted, "Mom, I think very clearly, I want to keep Zhuangzhuang."

"You kid, why can't this make sense to you!" Ms. Li was anxious, "Even if you can earn a lot of money by picking medicine, how can you guarantee that you will be strong enough to drink the medicine? If it's not enough, you can't do it every time. Should we all go to Dr. Wu to get credit? Dr. Wu is so careless, how can we be embarrassed ourselves!"

Tang Mian was a little silent, "Mom, I can't. Just believe me once."

"You" Li was furious and turned to look at Lu Zheng, "Old man, please try again."

Tang Mian also turned his attention.

Lu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Mian Niang, why are you so sure?"

"I"

Lu Zheng didn't wait for Tang Mian to answer, and continued: "Whether it's your mother, me, or yourself, the medicines we met at Doctor Wu's are relatively cheap. If you want to make a lot of money, I'm afraid it won't work."

"So, where do you get your confidence?"

Tang Mian opened his mouth. After telling one lie, he needed more lies to cover it up.

Unexpectedly, neither her father nor mother believed that she could earn enough money.

"Dad, I have this confidence. I believe I can do it. Please trust me once more."

Mrs. Li glared and reached out to tap Tang Mian. Who did she learn this stubbornness from?

Lu Zheng looked at Tang Mian and sighed deeply, "Mian Niang, your mother and I can agree to keep Zhuang Zhuang."

"Old man." Li looked at Lu Zheng disapprovingly.
