Chapter 7 Overcoming Difficulties Together

On the second day, Dong Xiaowan went to take care of the patient as usual.

Dong Xiaowan simply asked a blind old woman some questions. She didn't know the name of the old woman but only knew that her husband's family name was Sun, so she only called her Grandma Sun.Dong Xiaowan recorded Granny Sun's medical records and was about to leave, but she was stopped by Grandma Sun: "Doctor, I have also heard about the situation in the city. I heard that the medicinal materials and rice grains have increased by more than ten times, everyone. I'm almost out of food. I still have some coffin books here. Doctor, you can take them to buy medicine for the villagers. The porridge can be thinner, but the medicine can't be stopped. I heard that many people have run out of medicine Yes! Doctor, you can take it!" Grandma Sun rushed under the pillow and took out a package wrapped in white cloth and opened it. Inside was a black handkerchief wrapped with two or three pieces of broken silver and some copper plates. Holding the silver taels in front of Dong Xiaowan with both hands.

Seeing this, Dong Xiaowan held Granny Sun's hand with tears in her eyes and said, "Grandma Sun, you should keep the money! Don't worry about these things, just rest easy and recover from illness. Liu Butou and I will figure out a way !"

"Doctor, just accept it! I heard that if this disease cannot be controlled, our Taoyang County will be slaughtered. I am an old woman who has lived to this age, and it doesn't matter if I die. But this neighbor She takes good care of me as an old woman on weekdays. Otherwise, she has no children and is blind. How can she live to this day? Anyway, if I die of illness, I will be cremated like other villagers, and this coffin is useless. Take it, if you can save one more person, save one more person, money is dead, but people are alive, let's save people first." Granny Sun's filthy eyes shed crystal clear tears.

Dong Xiaowan took the money, her clothes were wet with tears, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. Liu Butou and I will definitely figure out a way!"

"Then I will trouble the doctor." After finishing speaking, Grandma Sun lay down again.

Dong Xiaowan took a deep look at Grandma Sun before leaving.

When Dong Xiaowan passed the big iron pot for cooking porridge, he saw that the porridge in the big iron pot was as clear as rice soup.She went over and picked up a spoon to stir it, but there wasn't much rice at all.This made her frown again.

At this time, the old man who was burning the fire had already stood up and saluted Dong Xiaowan.

Dong Xiaowan quickly helped him up and said, "Grandpa, you can't do it! You can't do it! You're making me a junior!"

"Young Master Murong is the savior and benefactor of our people in Taoyang County. Even if you kneel down to Young Master Murong, you can't repay the great kindness of Young Master Murong. How can you say that you can't do it?" the old man replied.

"Grandpa is serious! It's just that I have something to ask your supervisor, so please call him here for me, so I can ask questions!" Dong Xiaowan said humbly.

The old man heard this, and quickly went to find the steward who was in charge of these large iron pots.

"Why is this porridge so rare? Is there no food left in the city?" Dong Xiaowan asked with a frown.
