Chapter 55 I’ll give you two green onions

Mrs. Li was frightened when she heard Mrs. Zhou. She tried her best to suppress her anger, "I won't say anything unless you make me angry."

Zhou Mingyi hummed, not wanting to stay in the kitchen any longer. He picked up the bucket and said, "I'm going to get water."

Zhou Rushan stood outside the kitchen. She watched Zhou Mingyi walk out of the house, then walked into the kitchen and silently walked over to boil water.

Seeing that her daughter's face became better, Ms. Li warned her carefully, "Ashan, you must not imitate your brother, understand? Your brother is so angry with me because I raised him so big in vain."

Zhou Rushan added a piece of firewood and nodded, "I won't make you angry, and I hope you won't be angry with me."

Ms. Li continued: "I am your mother. No matter what I do, I do it for your good. We are people connected by blood. No matter what others do, there is always a layer of belly between them."

"After your little sister passed away, did your second uncle and his family feel sad? I think they were very happy, and maybe they were still celebrating in their hearts that the sick man was finally gone."

"They also caused you to lose such a good marriage, otherwise you would be the young mistress of the An family now, and there would be no need to suffer here with us."

Zhou Rushan interrupted Li, "Mom, don't say these words in the future. Grandma will be unhappy if she hears it."

"The imperial doctor once said that it is best not to make grandma angry. Excessive mood swings are not good for her. Along the way to Lingnan, grandma was physically unable to bear it. Now she has finally recovered a little."

Ms. Li turned her head and glanced at the door, curling her lips, "I knew she wasn't home so I dared to say that. I didn't dare to make her angry."

"Don't say these things in front of your grandmother. She already has a problem with me. After hearing these words, I'm afraid she will have an even bigger problem with me."

Zhou Rushan nodded, "I understand, I won't tell my grandmother."

Zhou Shitang fetched two buckets of water, walked to the side and sat down.

The aunt had come to fetch water at about this time, so she waited to see if she could touch her.

If the aunt didn't come to fetch water, she would go to the aunt's house to find her.

Time passed slowly.

Zhou Shitang didn't wait, she looked around.

This is just a well, surrounded by many trees and grass, but nothing edible is seen.

Aunt Fang came over with a wooden bucket and saw Zhou Shitang sitting on the ground in a daze. She walked over with a smile and said, "Little girl, why are you sitting on the ground? Did you fall and hurt somewhere?"

Zhou Shitang shook his head with a smile and stood up, "I didn't get hurt from the fall. I'm waiting for you here specially."

"Oh?" Aunt Fang was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up, "Have you figured it out and want to buy my eggs?"

Zhou Shitang nodded, took out the bag from his arms, opened it, and revealed the wild onions and medicinal materials inside, "I want to buy your eggs, but I don't have copper coins at home now. Can I exchange these medicinal materials and wild onions with you?" ?”

"This is a medicinal material, used to stop bleeding. You can apply it if you have a sprain at work, or if it is swollen." Zhou Shitang actively promoted, "There is also this green onion. Madam, you should also know it. Put a little in it when cooking. The dishes that come out are so fragrant that you can’t help but drool.”

Aunt Fang couldn't help but swallowed. She did know Scallion. She rolled her eyes and finally said: "I also know some medicinal materials. I can dig them in the mountains myself."

"You dug all these things in the mountains, I'll dig them too."

Zhou Shitang wrapped the medicinal materials and wild onions, covered them tightly, and then looked at Aunt Fang calmly, "Auntie, think about it, do you still remember what my medicinal plant looks like?"

Aunt Fang tried hard to think back and found that she couldn't remember.

Zhou Shitang smiled, "There are many weeds in the mountains, some of which are poisonous. Well, many medicinal materials look like weeds. If you pull out any poisonous weeds, people will be poisoned after eating them. In serious cases, Lose your life." "So it is best not to use unknown medicinal materials indiscriminately. After all, it is a matter of life and death."

Aunt Fang was startled. She looked at Zhou Shitang, "You're not bluffing me, are you?"

"Auntie, I never lie to people." Zhou Shitang smiled confidently, "I have read some books and know the medicinal materials. I dare not joke with life. Life is very precious and we must cherish it."

Aunt Fang was surprised, "So you still know how to read."

"I knew you were a scholar. I could tell it when I first saw you. I was right." Aunt Fang said with a smile.

She thought carefully for a while, and the little girl was right. Medicinal materials should not be used casually.

She knew some medicinal materials, but there were so many things in the mountains, and she didn't know everything. What if she dug up poisonous weeds?

Aunt Fang smiled: "Then I will exchange an egg for these things with you. My old hen only lays one egg a day, which is not easy."

Zhou Shitang said calmly: "An egg costs one penny. This medicinal plant of mine is worth five cents if left outside, so one medicinal plant is exchanged for five eggs."

"Five eggs." Aunt Fang waved her hand in pain, "Then I don't want your medicinal materials, they are too expensive."

The eggs she had saved with great difficulty could not be exchanged for a medicinal plant she did not recognize.

Zhou Shitang said seriously: "It's easy to get injured when you go out. Prepare some medicinal materials at home. If you get injured, you don't have to go to the doctor."

"It costs a lot of money to hire a doctor. Now that I tell you the efficacy of this medicinal material, you can treat the wound yourself. Isn't that great?"

"It doesn't matter if you have a small injury, but if the bleeding doesn't stop, you will die."

"What are five eggs compared to life?"

Aunt Fang was a little moved when she heard it.

The little girl was right. She had spent a lot of money on doctors in the past, which cost more than five eggs. She felt heartbroken just thinking about it.

Zhou Shitang saw that Aunt Fang was a little shaken. She had a sarcastic expression on her face and said, "Auntie, I know you so well. You are a kind-hearted person, so I will give you a cheaper price."

"One medicinal plant is exchanged for four eggs, and I will give you two green onions. What do you think?"

Aunt Fang was so happy that she was praised, she was even more shaken, and she quickly thought about it in her mind.

She has three old hens that can lay three eggs a day. She earns four eggs and two green onions in a day and a half.

She is sure to make a profit without losing anything.

Aunt Fang showed a big smile and said, "Little girl, you are so kind. Just wait, I will go home and get you eggs."

She turned away.

Zhou Shitang exhaled. It was really not easy to eat eggs. Her mouth was dry. If the aunt didn't agree, there would be nothing she could do.

Mrs. Fang's wife's house was not far from here, and she quickly came over with four eggs.

She handed the egg to Zhou Shitang, "Hold it, don't drop it. These eggs will break if you drop them."
