The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business
Chapter 15 Ancient Version of Best Friends
Several people in the city gradually fell asleep, and today in Nanxi Village, Old Lady Su welcomed her ancient best friend.
Just after breakfast, there was a knock on the Su family's door. Su Anping went to open the door: "Mother-in-law, you are here. Please come in."
I saw an old lady in clean and simple clothes saying, "I came to see your mother."
"Come in quickly, my mother is in the house!"
The old lady Zhao who came here was a sister of the same clan as old lady Su. Her father died when she was young, and her mother raised her and her brother alone. Later, her brother also died of illness, so she had no relatives in her natal family. She and old lady Su were sisters who grew up together, and later married into the Su and Zhao families who came from outside.
After the children grew up, Mrs. Su's eldest son married Mrs. Zhao's daughter, and the two became in-laws and their relationship has always been very close.
As soon as Mrs. Zhao entered the room, Mrs. Su pulled her to sit down: "Guizhen is here, come and sit down." Guizhen is Mrs. Zhao's maiden name. Mrs. Su has completely integrated into her role, and now she is the real Mrs. Su.
"Sister Guiying, how are you? Are you fully recovered?"
Old Mrs. Su's maiden name was Zhou Guiying. At her age, few people called her by her name, which sounded quite intimate: "I'm fine. I'm okay. How is Huaixi?" Huaixi is the granddaughter of Old Mrs. Zhao.
"She's almost well. She doesn't have a fever anymore, but she still needs to take medicine for a few more days." If her granddaughter hadn't caught a cold and had a fever, Old Lady Zhao would have come a long time ago. As soon as Old Lady Su woke up, Zhao Yun asked her son to tell her mother, and Old Lady Zhao felt relieved.
Old Mrs. Zhao had a miserable life. She lost her father at a young age, and then her brother and mother also died one after another. After marrying into the Zhao family, she met good parents-in-law, gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and her life became better and better. It seemed that it was time for her to enjoy her life, but the family was full of twists and turns. The eldest daughter married into the Su family, so she didn’t have to worry about anything. She was the least worried one. The eldest son died three years ago. The eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant and couldn’t bear the blow. She died of two deaths, leaving behind a son and a daughter. The son Zhao Xuanming was 13 years old, and the daughter Zhao Huaixi was 11 years old. The second son was conscripted like Su Anyuan. His name was on the list of casualties two years ago, so he was obviously gone. Her husband also died a year ago after being bedridden for a year because of the successive deaths of his two sons.
Now only Mrs. Zhao is left in the Zhao family to live with her grandchildren. In Mrs. Zhao's own words: I am a person with few relatives.
In fact, there was a hidden story behind the death of the eldest son of the Zhao family. Few people knew about this, but because the two families were close and relatives, and Old Lady Su was tight-lipped, Old Lady Zhao told Old Lady Su the truth, and Old Lady Su also kept it secret.
The ancestors of the Zhao family were imperial doctors and a family of medicine. They moved here with the Su family because of the war. Later, when the world gradually improved, the Zhao family opened a clinic in the county. Because of their excellent medical skills and reasonable prices, they were quite famous in the county.
Three years ago, a nobleman came to the county with toothache, and somehow found Zhao's clinic. The eldest son of the Zhao family came to see him and prescribed a prescription to cure him, and told him not to eat anything indiscriminately and to avoid certain foods.
The nobleman ignored the advice and continued to eat and drink. When his toothache came back, he asked the eldest son of the Zhao family to come for treatment. But this time the folk remedy didn't work. Others didn't know what happened in the middle. Later, the nobleman was furious and beat him severely, and threw him at the door without asking others to rescue him.
By the time Doctor Zhao found out and went to the gate to save the eldest son, he had already lost too much blood and was dying. Doctor Zhao tried his best but failed to save the eldest son.
Since then, Dr. Zhao has been depressed and felt guilty, thinking that he should not have let his eldest son go to see the patient, but should have gone by himself.
Old Mrs. Su, who still had the memories of her original body, looked at Old Mrs. Zhao with a hint of heartache in her eyes. This was such a difficult old sister.
Mrs. Zhao said with uneasiness in her eyes: "Sister, I came here this time because I want to tell you something."
Old Mrs. Su took Old Mrs. Zhao's hand and said, "You say,"
"Xuanming is too stubborn. Since his parents and grandfather died one after another, he has lost interest in medicine and only wants revenge. In the past two years, I was able to control him and he was still young, so it was better. Now that he is getting older, I feel that his resentment is getting heavier. I want Anton to help me persuade him. Anton is a scholar and knows more than me. I want him to help me think of a solution."
"Okay, I'll tell Anton when he comes back. It's no wonder the kid is resentful. How can he not hate him?"
"Old sister, I hate him in my heart, but we are just ordinary people. How can we fight with that noble man? I am afraid that we will lose our lives before we even get in front of him. I am old and I don't know how many years I can live. I just hope that they can grow up safely. I dare not ask for anything else."
"You are right! But you must not lose heart. You have to be well, otherwise what will happen to the two children? Good deeds will be rewarded, and evil deeds will be punished. Let's wait and see. This evil man will not get any good reward."
Old Mrs. Zhao said viciously, "I am also looking forward to a thunderbolt from the sky, which will kill him instantly. Don't worry, old sister, I will take good care of myself. I want to live well. I also want to see what happens to this evil man."
Old Mrs. Su patted Old Mrs. Zhao's hand to comfort her. Her old sister was a strong person, not an ordinary person.
Old Lady Zhao continued, "When this child was young, he had a talent for medicine. As soon as he could speak, he began to memorize the names and properties of medicines. But since his parents passed away, he has not paid attention to this medicine at all, and it seems that he is going to waste it. When his grandfather was alive, he just dealt with it perfunctorily. Now, he only thinks about revenge. Huaixi, on the other hand, is a talented child and very hardworking."
"How can he learn well if his mind is not on this medical skill? Huaixi is really smart. He is young, but he has such a good understanding of medical skills."
"Yes! She is a half-grown child. Although she is self-taught, she has learned well. If it weren't for what happened three years ago, her grandfather would not have been able to break the ancestral precept of the Zhao family that medical skills should be passed down to sons but not daughters." After the incident three years ago, Dr. Zhao broke the ancestral precept of the Zhao family. He knew that his granddaughter had a good talent for learning medicine. The Zhao family was already small and should not be bound by the ancestral precept of passing the skills down to sons but not daughters. He began to teach his granddaughter medicine until he died a year ago.
"Although I don't know much about studying medicine, I also know that medical skills are not something that everyone can learn, just like not everyone can endure this hardship." Old Mrs. Su was very clear about the hardships Zhao Huaixi had to endure. Old Doctor Zhao knew that he didn't have much time left, so he paid close attention to his granddaughter's studies. The child really suffered a lot, getting up early and going to bed late all day. For example, the medical books that had to be memorized were said to be so thick.
After Doctor Zhao passed away, he left behind many medical books, as well as some pulse records left by his ancestors and the pulse records left by Zhao's father and son. The things left behind were well organized and classified, and there were many difficult and complicated diseases. Zhao Huaixi spent the whole day immersed in the medical pulse records left by his grandfather, keeping himself busy every day.
Mrs. Zhao felt sorry for her granddaughter: "This child is very strong-willed. I also told her not to push herself so hard. She agreed with me, but she didn't relax. She worked herself to death and got sick."
Old Madam Su advised, "Although Huaixi is two years younger than Xuanming, she is a promising child. She has her own ideas in her mind, and we cannot make decisions for her. You should also be more open-minded. As long as the children choose the right path, we can only support them. You! Take good care of yourself, keep yourself healthy, and let the children have no worries."
Old Lady Zhao took Old Lady Su's hand and said, "Sister, I understand what you said, but I can't help but worry. I feel much better now that I'm talking to you."
The two old ladies had gone through ups and downs for decades, and they had quarreled and argued, but they always made up in the end. Old Mrs. Su thought: It was really nice to have such an old girlfriend in ancient times!
