Transformed into a mother of four children: Eating meat every meal during a famine

The situation at He Tian's home was not as bad as imagined.

It's a bit messy indeed.

But it’s understandable.

He Tian went to the kitchen to boil water himself.

He washed the pot three times with well water before pouring water into it and starting to boil it.

Su Yunluo sat in the He family's yard for a while, waiting for He Tian to boil water, and then said to Xiao Shitou, "Where's your mother? Take me to see her."

Little Stone hesitated: "My father said that my mother is sick and can't see anyone."

"Don't listen to your father. Your father is an old feudalist. You have to listen to me. You can't go wrong if you listen to me."

"What is old feudalism?"

"It means that your thoughts are too old-fashioned and stubborn. Think about it, is your father like this?"

Little Stone thought about it and nodded slowly: "It seems so..."

If Dad had agreed to go to Madam Su to buy herbs earlier, Mom wouldn't have fallen ill!

"Can you take me to see your mother?"

"Yes. This way, ma'am."

Little Stone pushed the door open with a creaky sound.

"Stone?" the woman on the bed shouted weakly.

"Mother. Madam Su is here to see you."

"what?"

……

He Tian boiled some water, made some tea and brought it out, but found that there was no one in the yard.

"Little Stone!" he called out to his son.

Little Stone ran out of his mother's room: "Dad, I'm here."

"Where's Madam Su?"

"Mrs. Su is in there too."

"Who told you to take Madam Su to your mother's room? If you bring illness to Madam Su, can you and I take responsibility?" He Tian said as he was about to hit his son.

"Stop!" Xiao Shitou's mother ran out of the house and protected her son behind her.

He Tian looked at his wife in disbelief: "Xiao Cui, are you... okay?"

Since my wife fell ill a few days ago, her condition has rapidly worsened and she was unable to get out of bed yesterday.

He Tian had to worry about the medicinal herbs in the village and his wife's illness, which exhausted him mentally and physically.

Zhang Xiaocui turned around and looked at Su Yunluo with gratitude: "It was Madam Su who cured me."

He Tian's eyes were sore: "Madam Su, you are the savior of our family! You are also the savior of our entire village. Our whole family kowtows to you!"

"Alright, alright, get up." Su Yunluo jumped aside: "I hate it most when people kowtow to me. If you really want to thank me, make me a cup of tea. I'm really dying of thirst."

"Yes, yes, the tea is here." He Tian finally stopped kowtowing and stood up to serve tea to Su Yunluo.

The tea was a little hot. Su Yunluo blew on it twice, took a sip, blew on it twice, took a sip, then took a sip again.

He drank a cup of tea in one breath before stopping.

After drinking it, I was sweating all over, but I felt very comfortable.

"The tea is delicious, thank you." After saying this, he was about to say goodbye and leave.

He Tian chased after her: "Madam Su, you cured my wife's illness, this consultation fee..."

"That cup of tea is the medical fee you paid." Su Yunluo waved his hand and walked out without looking back.

In fact, Zhang Xiaocui’s illness is mainly a mental illness.

It is only after working hard for many days and getting angry that one falls ill.

Su Yunluo told her that he had purchased the medicinal herbs from Heshang Village, and Zhang Xiaocui's illness was almost cured.

Then he gave her two more injections, and Zhao Xiaocui's illness was naturally cured by 80% or 90%.

The family of three stood at the door to see Su Yunluo off, and stood there for a very long time.

"Son." He Tian reached out and wanted to touch his son's head.

But for the first time, I realized that my son, who had always been getting into trouble since childhood, had grown up so big without me noticing.

I also became sensible without realizing it.

Little Stone subconsciously dodged his father's hand and said, "Dad!"

He Tian raised his hands awkwardly and said sincerely: "From now on, Dad will never hit you again. When you grow up, you will be better than Dad!"

Little Stone: "Dad..."

"Good son! You are Daddy's pride!"

Zhang Xiaocui was very pleased to see the father and son getting along so harmoniously.

This day suddenly became full of hope.

And all this was brought by Madam Su!

"You must remember to repay Madam Su well in the future."

"Ah."

"Mom, I remember it."

……

The next day, Su Yunluo sent people to supervise the harvesting of herbs here.

Although it is called supervision, the most important thing in reality is to guide the villagers of Heshang Village in doing things.

Make their process of harvesting and drying herbs more standardized!

The people who supervised were all villagers from Sankeshuxia Village.

The villagers of the two villages are familiar with each other and easy to talk to.

In addition, Su Yunluo also paid a deposit of one thousand silver coins to Heshang Village.

After He Tian received the silver, he thanked Su Yunluo profusely and then distributed the silver equally to the villagers.

There are about two hundred people in Heshang Village.

Each person got about five taels of silver.

Some families had many people, with the largest family having nine people. The family suddenly had more than 40 taels of silver, which was a huge sum of money.

Even a family of two could earn about ten taels of silver.

It instantly solved everyone’s urgent problem.

The villagers, who had been unable to get enough food a day, were suddenly full of hope for the future.

On the day when the silver was distributed, smoke rose from every household in Heshang Village, and the hot air coming out of the kitchen was filled with the aroma of rice.

The wealthy villagers no longer want to eat the most delicious food, but being able to have a full meal is enough to make them very satisfied!

……

A month later, all the herbs were harvested and dried.

Su Yunluo came to weigh in on the spot.

There were bundles of dried herbs, weighing a total of five thousand kilograms.

Three taels of silver for ten kilograms of dried herbs.

Five thousand jin is equivalent to one thousand five hundred taels of silver.

Su Yunluo immediately paid the remaining 500 taels of silver.

After He Tian received the balance, he took out three hundred taels of silver from the five hundred taels and returned it to Su Yunluo.

"What do you mean?" Su Yunluo did not accept it.

He Tian smiled and said, "Madam Su, I know the rules. After receiving the full payment, I have to give the buyer a 20% commission."

After hearing this, Su Yunluo felt helpless and sad for the people at the bottom of society.

No matter what you do, you will be exploited.

You work the hardest, but in the end you get the least money!

"Take the silver back. I'm telling you again, in the future, no matter when you are asked for a bribe, don't give it. If my people come to ask you for a bribe, report them to me, and I'll give you a reward of 1,000 taels of silver! Do you understand?"

He Tian opened his mouth slightly, unable to speak for a long time.

After coming to his senses, he knelt down and kowtowed to Su Yunluo.

Su Yunluo looked disgusted: "Tsk, why are you kneeling down to me again? I told you, I don't like others kneeling to me. If you do it again, I won't accept any herbs from your village!"

"Don't!"

He Tian was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground as if he had been electrocuted.

"Your tea is good. If you really want to thank me, please invite me to your house for tea next time."

"Yes."

……

The herbs were taken away.

Money and goods are both in order.

The villagers of Heshang Village can finally rest for a few days.

He Tian also came personally and invited Su Yunluo to his home for tea.

Su Yunluo readily agreed.
