The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 9

It was not until late at night that Mrs. Zheng came back to answer the call.It turned out that Aunt Shen's elder brother was working as a bodyguard in the bodyguard agency outside, and this ticket was for the north, where there was a lot of chaos, and for some reason, he entered the territory of the Tartars, and the whole group almost died. , he and the only living two brothers fled back desperately, and when they arrived at home, they had a high fever, talked nonsense, and did not open their eyes for two days and two nights.Her family had never seen the world, and they had no money to hire a doctor, so they only let the doctor in Xie's house take a look at it, and poured a few patches of medicine on it, but it didn't help at all, so they said it was dead.

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she probably knew the whole story.It is probably because there were too many traumas on the body, which caused inflammation, so the high fever persisted.If this were placed in modern times, a few anti-inflammatory drugs might be able to survive, but in ancient times it was a terrible thing.

"The doctor has seen it, what did you say?"

"The doctor at Ren'an Hall is very powerful. After reading it, he only said that he is young and in good health. He has taken some medicines for clearing away heat and detoxification, and he is using good ointment for trauma. As long as the high fever subsides, this person will recover. Come here, the people in their family are very grateful, and they insisted on coming back with me to kowtow to you, girl, I reasoned that it was getting late, so I persuaded them."

Seeing that Mrs. Zheng spoke clearly, Xie Yujiao just nodded her head and asked again, "Did you give all the rest of the money to their family?"

"I have kept them all. The transportation fee is paid by the family. The doctor's visit fee is half a jingle, and the medicinal materials are also spent half a jingle. There are still four taels of silver left, which are all kept by their family." Mrs. Zheng and the Shen family are also old neighbors. Well, the country people, if there is no useful labor, the family is really difficult.The Shen family couple were not in good health, the man broke his leg when he was young, and the woman had a hemorrhage when she gave birth to her son, and the root cause of the disease has since fallen. If it wasn't like this, they wouldn't have sent their daughter to Xie's family to be a child.

Xie Yujiao is not clear about these things in their family, but she also knows that in ancient times, being a concubine would be criticized by others, except for those who were greedy for money and shameless, if a family sent a daughter to be a concubine, it must be because the family was too poor of.

Rescuing people in distress has always been the most virtuous thing. Although she is a materialist, things like time travel have happened to her, and she has to look at such things with a sense of awe.

"In a while, you go to Zhang's mother and ask her for the key to the storeroom. Find some medicinal materials, such as panax notoginseng, angelica, ginseng, fleece-flower root, and donkey-hide gelatin. If you have any, pack a bag of each and send it to the Shen family."

Although Mrs. Zheng didn't understand these medicinal materials, when she heard about ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum, she couldn't help but ask: "Girl, these things are not cheap, so I just took them?"

Usually, although Mrs. Xu is kind to her aunts, she only rewards some silver and cloth. These precious medicinal materials don't sound like the kind of food that people can afford.Xie Yujiao didn't think so. She had been here for a few days, and although she was still getting used to the strict hierarchy, she still held the idea that everyone was equal. Moreover, these things were just for their household, so they were put away. In Xie's Curry, it was also a waste.

"If you are asked to send it over there, you can. If it saves someone's life, it can be regarded as accumulating virtue for father." Xie Yujiao said lightly.

Mrs. Zheng thought about it, and thought it made sense. She was about to go out, but she stopped, and she turned around and said, "Young lady is kind-hearted. I have already rewarded these good things. Why don't I reward them with a few catties of fine rice? Sending medicinal materials over there, happened to be walking around in their kitchen, and saw that their family had already started to eat bran."

When Xie Yujiao heard this, her crystal black eyes widened, and she felt a little dazed.The Shen family is too honest, right?There is an aunt in Xie's house, such a good playing Qiufeng, how can she not know how to make use of it, and she is so poor that she wants to eat chaff?Even if Xie Yujiao has no common sense, she still knows that pigs eat that stuff!Moreover, modern pigs don’t even eat bran, they eat processed good stuff, which is called feed==
Xie Yujiao rubbed her temples, feeling a little embarrassed after all, although the Shen family was considered relatives of the Xie family, they all lived in the Xie family's house anyway, and the Xie family didn't even know how they lived.

"Has their family always been so poor? Doesn't the wife usually give things to the aunts? Although we don't say it, we know in our hearts that the aunts' family is not good, and most of the money will be sent to the natal family. How can it be so heavy?" Is it still so difficult at home?"

Mrs. Zheng knew that Xie Yujiao came out to take care of things after the death of Master Xie, so she was not clear about some things, so she said, "Young lady doesn't know. My daughter is in the mansion, so I don't usually come to the door. When the master was here, he would send people to deliver things every now and then, and they would often return them. The family has no labor, and there are two patients in the family. They must be unable to make ends meet. This master went again last month, and I thought that their family must have no money to buy medicine, so I sold the rations and went to change the medicine."

After Xie Yujiao heard this, she immediately understood that the Fang family had sent their daughter into the mansion, and wished that the whole family could live in Xie's house, but the Shen family regarded this as a shameful thing, which shows that people's mentality is not good enough. It's the same, and the attitude towards things is also different.

Xie Yujiao admired the Shen family's attitude, so she just said, "Then you go to the kitchen and pack some ten catties of fine rice, and then some brown rice that you usually eat, and send it over, and tell them that if you want to return the things When you come back, just come over and bring Aunt Shen back, anyway, now that my father is gone, my aunt can still remarry after returning, and in the future, our two families will be completely severed."

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, it was incredible. What the girl said, the Shen family would be surprised if they had the guts to accept the things obediently.Mrs. Zheng took a sneak peek at Xie Yujiao's cheeks that looked like a lotus, and thought to herself that she really didn't see it, the girl has a hot temper!
In the evening, during dinner, Xie Yujiao told Mrs. Xu about Aunt Shen's natal family today. Mrs. Xu was relieved to hear that she had arranged everything properly, and only sighed: "Yes. I'm not, I've been busy with your father's funeral recently, I forgot all these things, usually if someone comes over, I'll ask Mama Zhang to take care of it, but no one from the Shen's family has ever come, so I just forget about it."

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she only raised her eyebrows, thinking that apart from Aunt Liu, she had nothing to worry about, and she was afraid that the relatives of the other two aunts' families would come to Xie's house for a long time, so they belonged to the Shen family.

"Mother, the more they don't come, the harder it is for us to neglect us. In my opinion, we should care more about them than other families. That's justified!"

Mrs. Xu saw that Xie Yujiao's tone was not angry, and smiled again: "You are right, the less they come, the more they should be more concerned. I will send Mama Zhang to take a look tomorrow. See what else their home lacks, and add everything together."

Xie Yujiao frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't want it anymore, I've sent Mrs. Zheng away today, and if Nianger goes again tomorrow, they will think that they just want to win over their family after Dad died. Well, it could be that our house wants Aunt Shen to keep guard. I see that since the Shen family doesn't think much of our wealth, they will definitely ask Aunt Shen to find another job in the future!"

Mrs. Xu thought about it carefully, but it was true, she just sighed: "It's because you thought carefully, I almost forgot that when Aunt Shen came in, his family was reluctant to part with it, but it was really short of money. Aunt Shen was willing to come in again, so I sent someone to bring her back."

The two chatted for a while, Mrs. Xu also heard about the old aunt and grandma kicking Mrs. Zhao out, she pinched Xie Yujiao's face with a smile and said: "This time it's as you want, usually I don't pay attention to her, But you still want to get angry with her, I just think, she has served your grandfather, she is an elder, I just want to let her live in the mansion with peace of mind, as long as she doesn't make trouble for me, I will definitely not have anything to do with her Half a word of disrespect."

Xie Yujiao frowned slightly, curled her lips and said, "I'm not looking at her because I want to take care of the elderly! I heard from the person at the door outside that the person who brought the child to look for you a while ago didn't When I saw you, I went to sit with her. What kind of status is she, and why should she go to see those people? Isn’t it just to pick someone she likes, so that she can handle it in the future. I don’t believe she can do whatever she wants. thought."

Xu's thought was very simple, she just smiled and said: "That's because I was sick, she only saw me, she didn't have to worry about this matter, I think you are overthinking it."

Xie Yujiao just twisted her neck when she heard the words, and said disdainfully: "If she has never done anything bad in her life, I would still believe it. Mother, you have suffered from her. Even if she has no bad intentions, there is another word That's what it says: You must be on guard against others!"

Mrs. Xu considered Xie Yujiao's words carefully, and secretly felt that it made sense, but felt that Xie Yujiao was more mature and sensible than before, and wanted to be ahead of her in everything, and felt a little guilty in her heart, so she just said: "If If your father doesn't go, you are still the eldest lady in the embroidery building, how can you worry about these things, I see, you have lost a lot of weight this month."

Xie Yujiao didn't think that this body was a small skeleton, and it looked soft and boneless on the outside, but in fact, there was a lot of flesh on her body, it was really thin where it should be thin, and fat where it should be fat!
