ancient female doctor

Chapter 7
"It's time to come, but your elder brother is not in good health and dare not leave him. Don't mind my eldest niece." Five days later, Dasheng's mother, Du Shi, brought a basket of eggs and a small bag of brown rice, and knocked open the green bamboo. The gate of the house.

"It would be nice if the second aunt could come and sit down. Why did you mention so many things? How dare you call me a niece? We are supposed to be the juniors to honor your elders." Qingzhu smiled politely. Let Du's into the yard.

She naturally knew why Mrs. Du came to the door now, but she didn't ask for anything at first, she just wanted to make a good relationship and find a support for herself and Qingshan.

"What are you talking about, my niece? The doctor in the pharmacy usually has a high consultation fee. My niece has cured diseases that other doctors can't cure. Isn't it much better than them? The consultation fee But I dare not refuse to give it, and besides, the medicine given by the eldest niece is not counted as money. You must accept this thing, eldest niece, otherwise your second uncle and I will feel uneasy in our hearts. " Du Shi said with a smile all over his face.

"Qingzhu is not a doctor, so he can collect consultation fees anywhere. Don't say this to the second aunt, or you will laugh at her big teeth. Besides, if we don't talk about each other as a family, the medicine Although it’s rare, it’s not worth a lot of money, it’s just the right symptom, and it’s not worth it.”

Qingzhu asked Mrs. Du to sit down in the main room, found another bowl with the fewest gaps, poured her a bowl of water, and said: "Second Aunt rarely comes to sit, Qingzhu can only pour a bowl of white water to show respect, Second Aunt Don't be disgusted."

"Good boy, Second Aunt understands what you mean, as long as you get what you want." Shi Du said, taking the water from Qing Zhu's hand and gulping it down.

After Du finished drinking the water, he wentssip with Qingzhu for a few more homely conversations. Qingzhu was beside him, accompanied by Xiaoyi, completely without the tit-for-tat confrontation with the third uncle that day.

In fact, Qingzhu has a bit of admiration for Du Shi.In order to protect their own children, it is very rare for a woman who dares to hold a hatchet against her husband and the elders of the clan in this era when husbands are wives and the word filial piety is paramount.

After chatting a few words, Mrs. Du took a few glances at the empty main room, and the more he looked at it, the more pity appeared on his face.Seeing the end, Mrs. Du couldn't help but took out her handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "Poor boy, I have really suffered for you these past few years, your cruel uncle and uncle..."

Listening to Du Shi's words, Qingzhu lowered her head and looked sad, but a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

What did you do a few years ago?
But even though she was slandering in her heart, she didn't show it at all on Qingzhu's face, it was just that she, who originally had a high opinion of Du Shi, put away that affection in her heart.

Mrs. Du talked for a long time, looked at Qingzhu and didn't answer half a word, finally he was a little weak, wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, patted Qingzhu's hand, and said softly: "Good boy, from now on, Dasheng's father will be your second uncle , I am your dear second aunt, if you have any grievances, you can tell the second aunt, and the second uncle and second aunt will make the decision for you."

"Thank you second uncle and second aunt." Qingzhu said obediently with her head down.

After working for so long, and meeting the elders of the clan, isn't it just for such a promise?Although this promise may not be effective if something big happens, but it would be nice to avoid some trivial troubles in daily life.

"Good boy..." Mrs. Du looked at Qingzhu with a loving face, and said in his mouth: "They have treated you badly, this way, your second uncle will help you out sooner or later, so don't worry, ah."

"Yes, thank you second uncle and aunt." Qing Zhu glanced at Du Shi gratefully, then quickly lowered her head as a gesture of gratitude.

With Qingzhu's behavior in her yard that day, Du Shi naturally didn't believe that Qingzhu's meekness was true, but it was true on the surface, everyone was good-looking, and she could also draw out what she said next.

"Thank you, thank you, but your second uncle and your father are brothers who haven't been out of the fifth service, so kiss. If it wasn't for your uncle's face, I would have taken your siblings over early in the morning. But, after so many years, They really went too far, what kind of face is this, we can't keep it for him anymore, otherwise, wouldn't it be ruining a talent in our Xiajia Village."

While talking, Mrs. Du took out a piece of broken silver of about five renminbi from her bosom, stuffed it into Qingzhu's hand, and said: "My niece, take this money and prepare a gift for Qingshan, wait for it Later, your second uncle took him to the school in the neighboring village to learn from his teacher. Your big brother doesn’t like reading, so we can’t do anything with him, but Qingshan is smart, so don’t delay. Don’t worry about Shuxiu, everything is up to you. Where's your second uncle?"

"This, how embarrassing this is..." Qingzhu was really shocked at this moment, even though he had just traveled through time, he knew that the purchasing power of this piece of silver was astonishing, it could buy the brown rice that an ordinary family eats for a month up.If she and Qing Shan are allowed to eat these brown rice, save some, and they will last for more than three months.

What surprised Qingzhu even more was that the meaning in Du's words was to support Qingshan to go to school.

This is such a great kindness!

Although it is said that the village head's family is quite rich, Qing Zhu would never believe that they would have such extra money and such great kindness to support an irrelevant person to study.

If there was such kindness, the life of Qingzhu and Qingshan would not have been so difficult in the past three years. The soul from the modern day picked up a bargain.

But if it is said to be a reward for her healing Dasheng, it doesn't look like it.Because of what Du Shi said before, the basket of eggs and a small bag of brown rice were used as a reward for Qingzhu's consultation fees and medical expenses.

It wasn't gratitude, it wasn't kindness, and she didn't believe that the village chief and his wife would suddenly get hot-headed.

Xia Zhengyuan is a shrewd person.He is not a shrewd person, and he is not unable to sit in the position of the village chief.This position is said to be an official but not an official. It can be said that he is not an official, but he also has the right to manage affairs. The affairs of this village range from land reclamation and house building to small frictions between neighbors... Officially, he, the village chief, is all A more dignified existence than the clan elders.

Therefore, it can only be a kindness, an investment in advance.

Since it was an investment, she had to think carefully about whether to accept the investment.

Subconsciously, she really didn't want Qingshan to be kidnapped by the so-called kindness.However, Du Shi's words just now really touched her heart.

In ancient times, except for the turbulent and chaotic times when human lives were like weeds, at any other time, reading was the only way to change the life destiny of poor children.

A rich family doesn’t need to buy fertile land, the book has thousands of bells of millet; there is no need to raise a high hall to live in peace, the book has its own golden house; don’t hate no one to follow you when you go out, there are many cars and horses in the book; don’t hate unscrupulous matchmakers in the book You have Yan Ruyu yourself; if a man has a lifelong ambition, he reads the Six Classics diligently to the window.

That is her younger brother, who is connected with the blood of the body she has obtained; the relative who is dependent on her and would rather starve himself than leave the last bowl of wild vegetable porridge for her to drink; it is she who stands in this world The greatest capital and strong backing in the era of male superiority and inferiority.

Qing Zhu's heart beat faster in disappointment, as if it was about to pop out of her chest.

plop... plop... plop...

What a tempting proposition!How can you refuse?How can you refuse it!
However, she is Xia Qingzhu, not Xia Qingshan, how could she arrange Qingshan's life arbitrarily?

Qingzhu bit the tip of her tongue fiercely, the pain caused tears to flow out of her eyes, and her eyes also became clear.

"Second Aunt, please forgive me, this is Qingshan's matter, you still have to ask Qingshan." Qingzhu pushed the broken silver back, quickly lowered her head, and said in a low voice.

Du Shi's smile condensed on his face.

"Yes, it's time to ask what Qingshan means." Mrs. Du replied shyly.

How can there be such a woman... She was obviously moved just now!
