Reborn Doctor

Chapter 9

"It's me! Mother!" Kou Tong replied.

As soon as he knocked on the door, Mrs. Su asked. It was obvious that Mrs. Su had been standing behind the door waiting for Kou Tong.

Kou Tong couldn't help feeling guilty!It's really bad to deceive mother like this!However, now I have no good way!

It's not that she doesn't want to tell her mother, it's just that she doesn't know if her mother can accept what she said, or in Kou Tong's heart, she feels that it is fine to know some things by herself, there is no need to let her mother bear it.

"Come in, why have you been here for so long? Just now they said that there was a dog barking at the ruined temple at the east end of the town, which worried me!" Su asked with concern.

Kou Tong had a ghost in her heart, so she naturally knew why the dog was barking, her heart skipped a beat: "What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried that you will be scared! There is a lake in the east of the town, there are many mosquitoes and snakes, and there are few people. I am afraid that some thieves or beggars have gone there! I am afraid that you will run into fear!"

After hearing Su Shi's words, she was relieved: "Mother, don't worry! Tong Niang is so courageous! Besides, the west end of the town I went to is in two directions from that lake, so don't worry!"

"It's good if you're not afraid! Have you borrowed any money?" Su Shi poured Kou Tong a cup of tea and asked.

"I have borrowed it, but they don't have any money now, so they need to go to the bank to get it! The old man asked me to go again at noon tomorrow!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Su really felt relieved: "They are really good people, we have to find a way to pay back the money! In the future, when the things they planted in the fields need to be harvested, you go to help them, and when you come back, take them back. I brought back their clothes, and I will wash them for them! Tong Niang, we have to repay our kindness, and we must take it to heart."

"En!" Kou Tong took a sip of tea and nodded, "Understood, mother!"

Silent all night.

At noon the next day, Kou Tong carried a silver ingot in his bosom, just as he had planned last night, and went to the counter of the bank to exchange it for five hanging coins.Deposit the three hanging coins in the bank, and walk back with a deposit certificate and two hanging coins.

She couldn't help counting carefully!
Their rent is half the rent every month, and they are in arrears for two months in total. Adding this month's rent together, they will be half the rent together. If this is the case, there is still half the rent left, which is enough for them to live for the next two months. spending.

At this moment, Kou Tong was truly relieved!

When she got home, she left half a penny of money for Mrs. Su, then took the money and walked towards Landlord Liu's house.

Landlord Liu's house is just in front of Kou Tong's house. It is a second courtyard. Although it is not big, there is a small attic in the second courtyard.This is the first loft in Fanshui Town!Although the merchants on the street also built attics one after another, when it comes to attics, people often think of Landlord Liu's home.

The vermilion gate of Landlord Liu's house is open, and the word "Liu's Mansion" is written on the plaque on the gate, which is very grand.But for Kou Tong, who has seen many mansions and mansions in Nanjing, it is really very ordinary.

There are a few benches behind the gate, and there is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old servant sitting there. He is wearing coarse cloth and short brown, holding a long tree branch in his right hand, and is tapping his left hand one after another, looking bored. .

Kou Tong recognized him, he was Wang Gen's wife's son, what was his name, Kou Tong couldn't remember for a while!
Seeing Kou Tong walking in, he didn't stand up, but continued to sit on the stool with his head tilted and talk to Kou Tong.

"Miss Tong, you're here to look for my mother again, and it's in my mother's room!" He pointed his finger, and then said: "When you talk to my mother, don't mention my sister, or my mother will be sad! "

Kou Tong asked, "What's wrong with your sister?"

Wang Gen's son made a frightened look: "Don't mention it, my sister probably won't succeed, I'm making trouble here!"

Kou Tong wanted to ask again, but he waved his hand to chase people away: "Go quickly! Hey, remember, don't mention my sister in front of my mother!"

Kou Tong nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll save it!"

Following the direction he pointed, Kou Tong came to the inverted room on the left.As soon as she walked to the door, she heard bursts of sobbing from inside.

Kou Tong stood at the door, not knowing whether to enter or not.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to go in.

She purposely stepped heavily, and then said loudly, "Uncle Wang Gen, Aunt Wang Gen, are you at home?"

After she finished speaking, she heard the voice of Wang Gen's daughter-in-law inside: "I'm here! I'm here!"

As he spoke, he lifted the cotton curtain at the door, revealing the face of Wang Gen's wife.

Kou Tong was taken aback for a moment, but Wang Gen's daughter-in-law was much haggard and her eyes were still red after not seeing her for one night.Presumably the sobbing sound just now was her crying!
Kou Tong thought of what Wang Gen's son said just now, and he understood clearly!

"Come in quickly, what are you doing standing at the door?" She turned sideways as she said, letting Kou Tong into the room.

Kou Tong entered the room and sat down, Wang Gen's wife poured water for Kou Tong again.Kou Tong stood up again to thank him, and the two of them sat down to talk.

Kou Tong took out the money and put it on the table, and said to Wang Gen's wife: "...this is the rent for the past three months, Aunt Wang Gen, please pay some money, I am really sorry for the delay, thank you Help us deal with Mrs. Liu, and please help me give the money to Mrs. Liu!"

Wangen's daughter-in-law sniffed, counted the money and said, "Well, my wife asked this morning! It just so happened that you brought it here, so let me walk in front of my wife!"

Kou Tong nodded.

Only then did the two of them come to Liu's house together.

Mrs. Liu was chubby and looked rich, but she looked very kind in her half-worn clothes.

Wangen's daughter-in-law handed over the money, and then said, "Because they owed two months' rent in a row, they felt very uneasy, so I came here to express my thanks to my wife."

Speaking of this, Wangen's wife winked at Kou Tong and gave her a slight push.

Kou Tong came to his senses, and quickly wished Mrs. Liu a blessing, and then said: "Madam, please be well! Because my mother was seriously ill, I couldn't pay the rent for two months. Fortunately, my wife was merciful and allowed us to delay the time. If it weren't for the kindness of the wife, our mother and daughter would have been sleeping on the street long ago. My mother ordered me to come and thank the wife!"

Saying that it's a blessing again!

Mrs. Liu is from the village, where has she seen such a battle? Seeing that Kou Tong is articulate, the words he speaks are pleasant, and he is well-behaved. She seems to like something.

"What a smart child!" She waved her hand and asked Kou Tong to stand beside her: "How old are you?"

"Mrs. Hui, I am twelve years old!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu said, "Oh! She's two years younger than our Second Miss, but she's much smarter than her! Compared to you, Second Miss looks like she has two eyes carved out of wood!"

Kou Tong didn't know how to answer these words, so he lowered his head and didn't speak.

Mrs. Liu sighed: "If you say she is smart, she is not as smart as your eldest girl. It's a pity why this child has such a disease!"

Wang Gen's daughter-in-law also burst into tears when she heard this: "My wife loved her the most when she was young, and she even decided to marry her to such a good family.

"Hey!" Mrs. Liu sighed: "Forget it, you don't have to be on duty this afternoon, go and see the big girl, don't forget to buy some supplements, and bring some eggs at home."

As he said, he handed the rent paid by Kou Tong to Wang Gen's wife: "Buy more, it's my kindness."

"Thank you ma'am, I thank you on behalf of the big girl!" She broke down in tears as she spoke.

Then he took Kou Tong and walked out slowly.

Back at Wang Gen's house, Kou Tong asked, "Aunt Wang Gen, what disease does Big Sister have?"

Wangen's daughter-in-law burst into tears as if she had found someone to confide in.

Kou Tong remained silent, listening to her cry quietly.

After a long while, Wangen's daughter-in-law's crying gradually died down, before Kou Tong twisted the veil for her, asked her to wipe her face, and poured her another cup of tea.

Wang Gen's daughter-in-law choked with sobs and said, "Why is my eldest girl so miserable! She has just been married to a good family for a year, and why did she get such a strange disease?"

"What disease is it? Did the doctor say it can't be cured?" Kou Tong asked.

Wang Gen's daughter-in-law was at a loss: "The doctor doesn't know what disease, how to cure it?"

"What are the symptoms?"

"It's been going on for more than half a year, and there are no symptoms. It's just that people have no energy, their complexion is bad, and they can't even get out of bed. Now, their face is sallow and sallow, and their monthly letters are getting less and less. Up to now, there are almost no symptoms. It's not bad, and I can't find out what's wrong with it. Now I can only live with it!"

As she spoke, her tears fell again.

Looks really serious!
Kou Tong is not a doctor, so he can only think about it from the simplest point of view.If you don't come with a monthly letter, the angelica can nourish the blood and regulate the sunflower water.It's just that I don't know if it's suitable for Da Yajie?

When Kou Tong thought about it, he couldn't help muttering.

Wang Gen's daughter-in-law seemed to have grasped at a life-saving straw, and said, "Good boy, is what you said suitable or not?"

"Aunt Wang Gen, I read that angelica can cure Yue Xinshao, but I don't know if it's right for the symptoms of elder sister? If it's wrong..."

Before Kou Tong finished speaking, Wang Gen’s wife said, “It’s like this now, even if there’s even a little hope, I still have to try it, so what’s the matter? Just tell me the method! If you save You are my great benefactor, and I will repay you like a cow!"

Kou Tong hurriedly said: "Aunt Wang Gen, don't be in a hurry, I'll tell you that! If I can help Da Yajie, it is also my merit, and there is no need to repay it!"

Then Kou Tong told Wang Gen's daughter-in-law about the treatment of Angelica.

Wang Gen's daughter-in-law carefully wrote it down, and then asked: "Where can I buy this angelica? Is it expensive?"

Kou Tong replied: "It's not expensive, you can buy it at Dr. Ke's house!"

After finishing speaking, she carefully warned: "Just say that you bought it for the master and wife, so he won't ask for the price randomly!"

Wang Gen's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Ms. Tong still has a solution, as expected of being from Nanjing! If the big girl is really cured, Auntie, I'll buy meat for you!"
